Church Facilities for Smokers.

A smokers pavilion" attached to a
church is somewhat Of a novelty in
the British dominions. A recent Wis
:itor to Kalgoolir, the famous western
Australia gold field, made and pro-
claimed this discovery. 1t seems that
in the early years of the gold field
there were many diggers dwelling in
tents who never burdened themselves
with Sunday clothes, and consequent.
,ly never bothered about going to
church.
: Anxious to attract this class the
minister Of the Congregational church
fitted up an open air enclosure in
which the men could listen to the
services in free and easy fashion with
:out being embarrassed with the for,
!malities Of indoor worship. A large
iarchway raj opened up in the side
of the church facing the enclosure.
and the pulpit was so placed that tho
preacher could be heard by both con-
gregations. The idea was successful,
and the smokers pavilion" (the oc-
,cupants Of the open air enclosure ex7
ercised the privilege of smoking dur
ing the sermon) became a popular
Sunday resort.

Cheated Thrice by Death.

A remarkable case of a woman be-
ing three times prevented from be-
coming a wife by the tragic interven-
ton Of death is reported from Che
mango county, New York state. While
pitching hay to his cows from a loft,
the other morning, Herman Spence,
of Guildford, tipped over a lantern,
starting a fire in which he was burned
to death. He was one of the richest
farmers of the county and was to have
been married in a week to Miss Pearl
Dorman. Miss Dorman has been pc
culiarly unfortunate in her matrimo-
NAL ventures. Five years ago she
was engaged to be married to Myron
Wheeler, a school teacher. Shortly
before the day set for the wedding
Wheeler met a tragic. death on the
railway. Two years ago another
young man, Frederick Ferry, to whom
Miss Dorman was engaged, was taken
sick with typhoid fever a week before
the wedding day and died two days
later.

Remarkably Marrow Escape Of Expert
Swimmer-Chased by Two
Monsters.

John T. Clark, a we'll known swim
mer, in 1882 had a very narrow es.
cape from serving as a meal for two
hungry sharks while giving an exhibit
ton at Pensacola, Fla. He had agreed
to be sewn up in a big sack, heavily
weighted with sand, and be thrown
into the bay lear the navy yard, from
which bag he was to escape by cutting
his way out with a knife and swim
ashore.
At the appointed time a fatboat
took him out some distance from
shore and after being tied up in the
sack he was thrown overheard. He
had hardly got more than 30 feet be-
low the surface when something
bumped against the sack and almost
instantly the idea flashed through his
mind that 1t was a shark. Before he
could do anything there was a bump
from the other side Of the bag. In a
moment or two he had cut his way out
and was rising to the surface, still
clutching the knife in his hand. Once
something cold grazed his leg as he
was rising.
On reaching the surface he was
greeted with cheers, but noted with
dismay that there were no boats near.
He started to swim toward the near
est boat when the water parted a few
feet to n side and he could make
out the long, black fin of a shark. The
monster headed at once for him and
as he was about to dive to escape its
clutch another shark dashed in.
AS the first shark turned over on
his side in order to bite, Clark dived
below the surface, then up under the
shark and drove the knife time after
time into its vitals, and it sank to the
bottom. AS he came to the surface
gasping for breath a yawlboat manned
by excited sailors from the navy yard
ran alongside and he was pulled
aboard just in time to escape the sec
Ond shark.

Women's Looks In Business.
