A successful di r must possess great courage nn<l tjerves of steel. Such a mao connected with :i large wrecking company was visiting sofue years jUgO, the pejrl fisheries hi the gulf of Cali fornia. where sharks abounded. -HH one of his trips in quest of the peart oyster he had a narrow escape fr itii a fearful death. lie had been instructed never to stir from the bottom until ho hud looked up, and around. Fortunately he heeded tlx* advice. Having filled his hag lie glanced quickly about end caught sight of a huge shovel nosed shark watching him. In an emergency men think fast. Near the diver was a large rock. lie moved quickly !o the other side of it, hoping to dodge the ferocious monster. Imt the maneuver did not work. The shark watched every movement, changing his position by a slight motion of his pow erful tail. Time was precious, find the diver conceived the idea of blinding the shark by stirring up the mud. Under cover of that he might escape. He worked for dear life and had the water thick with mud hi less than half a min ute. Slipping around the rock again, he rose to the surface, having barely strength enough to reach the side of the boat, and was hauled on board Just as the voracious rnau eater umde a rush for him. Bring the Enda Together. A certain colonel somewhere in the south (no matter where) was in the habit of telling yarns and greatly ex aggerating. He had a negro servant who corroborated everything his mas ter told. One day the colonel had come gentlemen to dinner, and they were enjoying some tine venison very much. The colonel said: “Yes, I went hunting the other day and saw a fine buck. I took a good sight at him and shot him through the head, aud the bullet went through his hind leg.” The gentlemen looked at each other a little mystified. The negro scratched his head and at last said. "Yes. indeed, gemmen; just as massa raised the gun to shoot do buck he raise his hind leg and scratch his ear, and the bullet went through the head and right through de hind leg.” The gentlemen looked more satisfied. After the guests had gone the negro said to his master, “Gorry mighty, mas sa, next time yoti tell one or dem yams do get the ends closter togedder. I had hard work to make both ends meet.”—New Orleans Times Democrat. (explained HU Meaning:. In n ease of assault and buttery be fore Judge B. in the court a well kpown doctor \wio was a witness said he had treated the prose cutor for a black eye. “What do you mean by a ’black eve?’ ” asked the attorney for the de fense. “I mean.” said the doctor, “that the prosecutor had received a severe con tusion over the lower portion of the frontal bone, producing extensive ec chymosls around the eye. together with considerable infiltration of the subja cent areolar tissue.” “Serves you right.” said the judge to the prosecuting attorney. “Everybody knows what a black eye is.”—Phila delphia Times. He Kept Grand Medicine. In a Scotch village, where a young doctor had lately started practice, a workman had the misfortune to get his Huger bruised badly iu one of the mills. A doctor was sent for. and ou properly dressing the finger the man nearly fainted. He was asked if he would take a little spirits to revive him. “Mon,” he exclaimed, with feeling, “that wud just be the very life o’ me!” The doctor gave him a good glass, which he greedily swallowed, and on recovering his breath bis first words were, “Well, doctor, I lieu unco’ little aboot yer skill, but, mon, ye keep grand medicine.” The Thinking: Strain. When once one no longer thinks it necessary to reflect whether one ought or ought not to do or avoid a thing, the saving of time and tissue Is quite enormous, for it is not so much do ing things as thinking about them which consumes the minutes and the nerves, and, once having made an un alterable rule to do a thing if it is pleasant and refrain from it if it is not. one can get into a single day a number of delightful experiences which would appear to those who do not know the recipe quite incredible.— E.

A Sad limine... “Yes.” he said sadly, and there was a tear in his eye—"yes, my business has driven me to the wall." And he went on posting bills.— Chums.

Stafford, a mail clerk <>n the Ueutral railroad, has filed a suit in the city court against the Central of Georgiy Railway for $20,000 d;mages for in juries re ceived in the wTeck at the river bridge lost December. The petitioner alleges that on December 8. ffHil, while he was running as n mail agent from from Macon to Savannah, the passen ger train on which he was at work was wrecked at the foot of Ocnml gee street in this city and was badly injured. The petitioner claims that the train was running at a very high rate of speed, to-wit: twenty-five miles an hour, which is against the city ordinance.

The stove which was used in the car for heating purposes fell upon him, and his left shoe burned from his foot and the flesh about his leg was burned to the bone. The petitioner claims that the wreck was “caused by the gross negligence and carelessness of the defendant, company,” for not keeping the switch and trucks in proper condition. Petitioner says that his mental anguish when the car jumped the track, and when he was lying helpless on the floor with the hot stove resting on him was terrific.

Maine furnishes a story that illustrates the grotesque character of some prayers which are offered in entire good faith. Some time ago an earnest Prohibitionist came unawares on a lone fisherman, who happened at the moment to he quietly drinking something from a black bottle. He was so much scandalized by the : ight that at the prayer meeting that evening he referred to the incident as follows: “O Lord, we ask Thee to turn from his evil ways the poor besot ted sinner I seen this afternoon swigging rum from a black bottle against the peace and good order of the State. ” It so happened that the sinner referred to was at present at the meeting, and at the con clusion of the prayer arose and offered the following petition : “0 Lord, Thou knowest tha-t when the brother seen me I was not drinking rum, as I don’t like it, but Scotch whiskey, which the doctor ordered me to take to keep away rheunmtiz, and Thine is the glory forever.
