An Awful Exnarienne-

A native diver descended into the water to see whether one of the piers. then in course of construction, had set While he was engaged in this work a great iron cylinder subsided a little crushing his hand between it and the masonry. When, on signal being giv- en, another diver came down he found his unfortunate comrade imprisoned under water without hope of escape After a few moments of mute despair and narrowing uncertainty a speech less decision was arrived at. and the newcomer proceeded with chisel and hammer to hack off his unhappy com panion's hand at the wrist. The pris- oner was thus liberated. but died soon after reaching the surface from the shock. Never, I think. has an opium eater in his dreams imagined a more pitiful spectacle. of hopeless human suffering.-'TraveIs Tn India"

No Color In the Dark.

In the dark there is no such n thing as color. The reddeSt dress is just the same color as d pure white tablecloth when both are placed in q dark closet. If you would understand this assume the presence of d light wave motion in the ether. The color of light depends upon the length of these waves. The light waves producing the colors in the blue end of the spectrum are very short compared with those that pro- duce the colors near the red end. The light source that we know as red gives off only waves of length to produce that particular color. A body appears red because its surface absorbs all the other waves and reflects the red waves back into the eye. If an attempt is made to light q blue body with red light it will fail. because the blue body is capable of ref1ecting only the short waves producing the blue. and since the red source produces none of these there will be no reflection and the body will appear black. A thing looks black when it is capable of absorbing all the colors at once.-St. Louis Republic.

Not the Answer He Expected.

Whitefield. whose dramatic appeals to his listeners were always a note worthy part of his sermons, once preached to q body of seamen in New York In the course of his sermon he introduced the following words:
 well, my boys, we have clear sky and are making fine headway over a smooth sea before a light breeze, and we shall soon lose sight of land. But what means this sudden lowering of the heavens and that dark cloud rising from the western horizon? Hark. Don't you hear the distant thunder? Don't you see those fashings of light ming? There is a storm gathering. Every man to his duty! How the waves rise and dash against the ship! The air is dark. The tempest rages. Our masts are gone! The ship is on her beam ends! What next?"
 The hands of every sailor were grip ping the pews in front of them, and a wild excitement was in their eyes And when the preacher reached the climax of his dramatic speech they sprang to their feet in a body and shouted. Take the longboatw-New York Sun.

Diana of PhiladeIphia.

At the mint In Philadelphia are a number of coins far more precious than any which find their way into circulation. They are a collection of curios. and many of them date from times of great antiquity. Perhaps the most interesting among them Is a handsome coin bearing on its face the profile of a woman which has strik- ing resemblance to the goddess of Liberty of our own currency. Under heath is the single word "Demos," which is the Gre ek for people. On the reverse of rhe coin is n beautiful figure of the goddess Diana arching her bow. and the inscription trans lated into English reads. Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians."
 The coin was minted more than 2,000 years ago at the city of Philadel- phia, in Asia Minor. where there grew up in later years one of the seven churches of which St. John writes, The prize was discovered some years ago in Europe by a citizen of our own Philadelphia. himself an authority on coins. By him it was appropriately presented to the mint in Philadelphia. New York Press.

A Woman's Letter,

Women. it is generally admitted. write much better letters than men. M. Marcel Provost discovered the reason for this superiority. ''The ob- vious meaning is never the one we should read into a woman's letter. There is always a yelled meaning Woman makes use of letter just as she employs glance or a smile. in a way that is carefully thought out and with an eye to effect. And. after all, does a woman's hat serve to cover her head? Does woman's parasol keep off the sun?

The Kanqaroo's Kick.

When a big "old man" kangaroo stiff ems his tail and converts 1t into a sort of revolving pivot bearing the whole weight of his body, leaving his tremen- dously powerful legs free for attack and defense. everybody who does not want to be ripped up or thrown in a heap for a considerable distance will give the marsupial wide berth. Only those who have seen the full grown kangaroo in his nati"r Australian bush with his back to ;ree, scattering dogs, bleeding and torn. right and left, can form any adequate idea of the prodi- gious strength the animal is capable of exerting when he finds himself in a tight corner.

Tramps and Cuff MuzzIers.

The most curious article in the tramp's outfit bears an appropriately odd name-the "cuff muzzler." It con- sists of the leg of an old stocking cut up into short lengths and worn over the wrist like a thick mitten, and its object is to increase the circumference of the wrist to such an extent that a constable cannot easily slip a handcuff over 1t
 Indeed. a pair of ''cuff muzzlers"- which are worn by none save veteran roadsters-make it very difficult for a constable alone and unaided to hand cuff their wearer.

l remember the relief with which after long feeling the sway of Frank lin's imperturbable common sense, came upon project of his for a new version. of the book of Job to replace the old version, the style of which. says Franklin, has become obsolete and hence less agreeable. Il give" he continues, "a few verses which may serve as a sample of the kind of yer sion l would recommend"
 We all recollect the famous verse in our translation. Then Satan answered the Lord and said. Doth Job fear God for naught?" Franklin makesF this. Docs your majesty imagine that Jobs good conduct is the. effect of mere per sonal attachment and affection"

Matchmaking In Roumania.

In Roumania once every year is a fair of marriageable girls. The girl. with her relations, gets into wagon. which also contains her dowry-linen, furni- ture and household matters-and all set off for the fair. When they arrive the girls are drawn up in one line and the men in another, with their parents behind them. Then if a young man likes the look of any particular girl he talks to her while the parents com pare notes as to their possessions and their circumstances in life. If all is found satisfactory there's a marriage at once, and the bride is driven away by her husband to her new home.

The Fireworks
 Industry
Every Year We Demand SIO,O0O.-
 900 Worth of Fun.
By WILLIAM BRETT

T%HE term money to burn" need
 not be regarded as an unqual- N filed vulgar!sm As applied to
 the fireworks industry it Is strikingly pertinent It is estimated that the citizens of the United States alone burn S1o,O0o.ooo worth of these patriotic luxuries on every Fourth of July. There are, in point of fact, few nations too poverty stricken to hnd money to burn" whenever the provo cation is sufficient.
 In the United States this industry seems to be the only one which is busy all the year in preparing some thing that is to be consumed in a sim gle day. The retail trade necessary to manage this enormous output does not become active untif few days before the dawn of Independence day, and before midnight of that anniver- sary the business relapses into somno- lence. On the following day the dozen or more fireworks factories in the United, States begin to prepare the stock for the next year. AS far as possible everything begins de novo- Nothing must be left over.
 By January the makers begin to make shipments 10 the middlemen- It is now that inventive genius Is racked for ideas that will win during the few moments that they glow and illuminate the heavens. All the changes that can be rung upon the old time foundation of shooting stars, revolving wheels and showers of col- ored fire are made effective. If there has been a new president. q new war. a popular subject of interest of any kind, the counterfeit presentment is ingeniously sheltered in an innocent looking pasteboard cylinder until such time as 1t is sent out 10 spread It's glories on the evening skies.
 After Memorial day Is safely over it occurs to everybody that the fireworks season is approaching. The annual dis cussion concerning the impending dan ger from the cannon tirecracker is re- vived, and proclamations to restrain the too robust enthusiasm of young America are made all along the line. Presently the S1o.OoO.000 begins to pour into the money drawers of the retailers The stream of boarded peu- nies grows daily until at last the em- bargo is lifted and all America bursts into a fusillade. It is only for day, but it is unparalleled while 1t lasts
 There has been great progress in the manufacture of fireworks during the last decade. and most of it has devel-

No one knew better the power pos sessed by a really polished compliment than Sheridan, and on innumerable oc- casions during that rather stormy the atrical management of his did he ex. tricate himself from a difficulty by means of one. good instance is the following: An English nobleman who had married a beautiful actress once applied with much dignity in the greenroom to Mir Sheridan for the ar. rears of her salary and vowed that be would not stir till they were paid.

A strange custom prevails among a certain tribe in tho Caucasus When n single young man dies some one calls upon a bereaved parent who has car ried to the grave marriageable daughter in the course of year and says: Your son Is sure to want a wife. I'll give you my daughter, and you shall deliver to me the marriage portion in return" A friendly offer of this description is never rejected, and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amount of the dowry. which varies according to the advantages possessed by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have been known where the young mans father has given as much as thirty cows to secure a dead wife for his dead son.
