Queensland Pearl Divers.

The Queensland diver gets into his dress at daybreak, steps on to the lad der over the side and fastens the life line round him. The tender screws on the face glass, the pumps are started, and down goes the diver to look for shell. If he is on ground where shell is plentiful he fills his bag, then allows his dress to fill with. air, which brings him to the surface, when he is hauled to the boat by the life line. He emp ties his bag on to the deck and goes down for another bagful. Some of the divers occasionally work in twen- ty-five fathoms. The greatest danger with which the diver has to contend is paralysis, and, knowing the danger he runs, he sometimes demands f200 in advance, and this amount is some times lost to the pearler through the zeal and daring of the diver-London Globe.

A Theory and a Fact,

The late Senator Frye attributed his robust health to correct habits and fondness for sport and the world out doors. Two months each year he en- joyed at his camp by the Rangeley lakes the keen delights of the rod and gun. If there was one achievement of his life of which he was inclined to boast it was that of having caught the largest square tailed trout ever takeL with a fly. But some time ago at dinner this boast was challenged by no less. an authority than Professor AgassiZ. That great naturalist assert ed that the Maine senator was in CT TOT, for, 1t was a scientific fact that no true trout ever attained the weight mentioned-seven pounds. The follow ing season the senator was fortunate enough to catch an eight pound speci- men of the same species, which he packed in ice and sent to Professor Agassiz. The professor acknowledged his defeat in the following laconic line: "The theory of a lifetime kicked to death by fact!' That" commented Senator Frye, lis the only case I have ever heard of in which q theorist ever paid the slightest attention to stub born fact."-BOston Transcript

A Scotch Maria 7e.


 By the act of 1856 the parties sign in the presence of two witnesses a declaration that they take each. other as husband and wife. They then pre- sent a petition to the sheriff asking him to eel tify that they have been married and that one or both of them had their usual residence i'll Scotland before the marriage or had resided there for twenty-one days preceding it. This petition may be presented within three months of the declara- ion constituting the marriage, but is usually presented within three hours. The parties and witnesses attend be- fore the sheriff, and the witnesses con firm on oath the statements of fact. The sheriff thereupon grants warrant to the registrar to register the mar riage. The registration can then be completed at once. The whole pro- cedure takes only an hour or two, and the cost is only a few shillings. On the eve of the new year and summer holidays there is a constant procession of newly married couples and their witnesses before the sheriff in Glas- gOw. The suitOrs are principally drawn from the artisan classes and the classes below them, but there is usually a sprinkling of q better class London Spectator.

E;aLino EIiS Mark,

"One funLy thing have learned about human nature" said a drug store cashier. is tLe habit many reo- pie have Of marking their name in the city directosy. They do that because the directory is the only place where their name ever gets into print, and it has such a fascination for them that they can't resist calling attention to 1t. A funny little old man who likes to talk tells me that he has made special trips to different parts of the city just to mark his name in the directories of the neighborhood. He puts a little cross in red ink before it. I asked him what good it did. He said none, pos sibly, although he is a teacher of lan- guages and may get a few calls on account of that queer advertisement.
 "But his is an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money hunting up city directories, but every time they happen to see new one they can't help looking up their name and putting some kind of a mark around it."-Philadelphi Ledger.

When One Drills With Diamonds.

WnSn One OrlllS with OIanonos.
 A diamond bit for rock drilling is quite an expensive article, says Cas- sier's Magazine. Its value, however, will undergo fluctuations, dependent upon the price of the diamonds. Per haps $500 is a fair value for a bit. The diamond used is exceedingly hard harder than those usually used as jewelry. Their carat price is consid- erable, averaging, say, $60 per carat. The diamonds used will weigh from one to two carats, so that eight have a value ranging from $4S0 to $960 on the average. The loss of a bit means many diamonds gone and may lead to difficulty with the hole. The diamond is not tough, but brittle. 1t will withstand heavy pressure if applied evenly and without shock. It can readily be seen that drilling through seamy rock may become quite unfavorable. If there is much quartz present the abrasion may become ex- cessive. Under ordinary conditions. however, the wear on the diamonds, while considerable, is by no means pro hibitive

The overcoat, which succeed ed the medieval cloak, was rare until the seventeenth century. - Pittsburg Dispatch.
