I had ,goue but a font down whon I struck the gold pioccs all in a lamp- I picked out a great, handful nnd turned the light on them, for I was a lover of gold then, evon though it did not belong to we. "Just then I saw something that made the rubber helmet rise from my hoad. It wna a man eating shark. I hadn't thought of one iu so long that I had noglcctod to bring my knife. It was rushing at roe. Tho stupid creature never stopped to consider thut with a rubbor aud lead dressing a diver makes poor lunch. I was kneeling beside the gold. At the shark's onslaught I natural ly hnng to the handful of gold as though to use it as a weapon. He turned on his sido, opening his horrible mouth. A feeling of grim humor had come over me. The cruel goldbugs had tout me down here to be devoured, after saving thousands of dollars for thorn.

"The shark must have thought H was part of me, far ho snapped his jaws over the golden morsel. I am satisfied that lie broke aoino teeth. Ho rwaiu back a little, and then rushed at me again.

Mr. Prentice said that after Adninson turned bnck ho thought hn would Walk down into a gully between tho rocks. Ho noticed that it was comparatively dry there. He was therefore considera bly surprised soon after ho got down into the gully to have a stream of wa ter two feet deep and moving with great violence strike him in tho back of tho legs. The stream was so strong that it stnggnred kim, nnd to avoid be ing swept from his feet and carried on into the river he crouched down in an nnglo of ono of tho rocks, with his bnck to tho torrent nnd braced himself to re sist tlio power of tho stmnm thnt had cut off bis lino nf retreat. He hnd hold of the edge of tho rock with his hands nnd ho did not dnre to let go for fear the current wonld sweep him out from behind the nnglo. Ho yelled for holp, but tho noise of the water drowned his cries. At ono time ho looked over tho edge of the took and saw tho Maid nf tlio Mist 100 feet nwny in tho river. Ho shook his head, hoping that tho passen gers on the littlo bant would notice tho motion, but no ono saw him. After ho orouohed down behind tho rock the water washed nvor his body np to his neck. He was on tho point of giv ing np whon a stranger who hud ulso come down to the rocks saw him nnd notified the guides. Prentice was hauled out with a polo. The stream of water that surprised him came from a lnillrace that is closed port of the time. BROKEN HEARTS IN FRANCE. Bold of L.M Account by tha Law Ttma Brokan In no instance does the profound dif ference of national character in England and France appenr more striking, says our Paris correspondent, than in the views held on both sidos of the channel regarding breach of promise. Of course cngngemonts Aro broken off in France as well as iu England, but it hi only in Englund that heavier damages are awarded for a broken heart than for a broken leg. The offense is all but un known in the French law courts, whether it is that Frenchmen are less inclined to it or that the French girl dislikes bringing her sentimental trou bles into court. To show English read ers how incredibly prejudiced French persons of both sexes are upon this sub ject it is enough to say that a young lady who attempted to turn her wound d feelings into cash wonld be regarded as only a degree less mean than the faithless man. The very small number of suits for broach of promise have always been supported by a pica that the lady was put to expense, and there must be be sides evidence of an intent to deceive. Damages in any case are very small be side the royal amounts awarded by Eng lish juries. Recently an action for breach of promise a l'Anglaise was brought into the Third Paris police court The lady and hor father, as near est friend, produced a bill showing that they were 50 out of pocket tor the broken -engagement. Thoy might have had this ; but, badly advised, they put on another item of 350 for the moral prejudice. The French judge did not understand this, and he dismissed the case. London News.

It is not as generally understood ns it should bo, perhaps, that bicyclo wheels seldom or never nre subjected to lateral strains. They need to resist only those strains which pass through their own plane, and in this piano only hnve they any strength worth speaking of. This is worth remembering when tho nso of wheels nf this type is being considered for three or four wheeled vehicles, where tho conditions nre essentially different, and whore, in turning corners rapidly, or in going over ground that causes the vehicle to bo inclined sidoways, a very considerable lateral strain may bo brought upon tho wheels a strain which tho ordinary bicyole wheel is, very properly, entirely unfitted for. This is to be considered also In connec tion with devices for attaching two bi cycles sido by sido to make a duplex, or four wheeled mnchino, of them. Neither the framo, the bearings nor tho wheels of a proporly constructed bicyclo are adapted to such use without injury. Amorican Machinist Jans Water. A quaint old superstition as to the modioiual virtues of "June water" still obtains in Hingham and other old towns in Massachusetts. It must be caught from the first shower that fulls after 1 3 o'clock cn the night of May SI. An old lady of Hingham tolls a writer, who sends an account of "June water" to the Boston Transcript, that it is bottled and used for sick folks mostly. "You oughtn't to give 'em medicine in ordi nary water, didn't you know? Why, I've had my son's wifo send up from Boston for a bottle or two when the boys was siok. Then if I feel as if I can spare it I use it for preserves. They'd never spoil done in June water if you'd kep 'em 100 years. Why, there ain't a speck or a mite of dirt in it It's real different from other water whon you come to look." A Ilia NurrUe. In store for all who try Bacon's Cel ery King for the Nerves.
