Our pay, too, is muco higher.

"Of course, our calling is extra
hazardatrs. No life insurance com-
pany will insure us. So the marine
insurance companies issue special po-
licies on our liven to provide for
our widows."
"But you don't need insurance
yourself so badly just now," I re-
marked; "for you haven't spent that
/25,000 you earned in that one (live
the other day, have you?"
"No; I havo the sum intact in the
bank. But I'll tell you of that in a
minute. First I want to tell you of
some of the dangers of tho profes-
sion. In sonic latitudes, for ex-
ample, there are sharks. I remem-
ber once a school of. mun-otters ar-
rived on the scene while I was on the
bottom, in Cuban waters. My dilem-
na was whether to stay below or
come to the surface. If 1 stayed be-
low the shark* might snap niy air -
hose. 1f I came up I might get
killed, or at least wounded. I re-
mained perfectly quiet, however,
choosing to risk the snapping of the
air -hose. My choice was a good tine,
for after a while the sharks went
away.
"That. air -hose is our very life.
Once I had a narrow escape while
putting copper plates on the bottom
of a steamer Rhich lay in tidewater
Alter I had passed beneath the bo`
tom of the ship the tide changed
and the vessel sunk to the bed. ehut-
ting off tt.e air by pressing against
my hon. 'fhc ship rose almost in-
stantly, hot for a moment I was in
deadly peril. Sevcrnl weeks' illness
and partial deafness followed that
experience.
"When I first began deep -ca diving
I used to receive the most nwtul
shock, by coining in contact with
dead l edits Ilut even to this horror
I became inured. As a rule the
bodies 1 find in ships are floating
against the ceiling—not sitting or
lying prone on the flour, as one
would suppose.
"Now as to Relying. ('argots are
solved when the sunken ships are
abandoned. There is much known
sunken treasure which cannot be re -
covet ed by divers. because It lies at
too great a depth. 'There's the
&teenier Oregon, wrecked in 1886,
with $1.000,000 in gold; and the
Erie, burned to the water's edge in
1893—where she sank, off Florida,
there lies a fortune in gold on the
sea-bed. Tho marine insurance com-
panies offer us big commissions to
dive for those two deposits of trea-
sure, hut they lie too deep. Our
average safe depth Is 150 feet, but
I have worked at 204 feet.
"The Rio Janeiro, from which I
made my big haul the other day, lies
at about 170 feet, and some five
miles off shore. There's more gold
there still. but after a dive like that
of the other day I have to tnke at
least a week's rest. 1 earned that
money in exactly ten minute'. and
this is how.
"At the depth the steamer lies in
i cannot sole:y stay below snore
than tan minutes. so when i went
down I knew that I had to hustle.

c- THE WELSH REVIVAL.
r. Joiner Declined to Complete a
Job on a Tavern.
d A South Wales correspondent gives
ed the following interesting Incident in
y connection with the religious revival:
! There was a master joiner or builder
that had undertaken the work to add
e a wing or two extend a certain pub-
lic house, and was engaged thereat.
IOno evening he attended the revival
meetings and next morning ho ad-
dressed the workmen: "Well, boys,
11 am not going to do a stroke on
!this Job again You may, but I
shall not pay you, nor shall I take
;anything (or the work that is al -
;ready accomplished."
In certain parts of Wales the pub-
licans have decided to sock magis-
lterial interference in the practice
(
adopted by the bands of revivalists
!of entering public houses and induc-
1 hug customers to forsake their won-
ted haunts. In ono Instance the
,publican offered the evangelists the
use of his club -room, but this they
refusal, and upon their refusing to
leave the premises they were re-
moved by physical force. At an-
other public house three enthusiasts
engaged a room for a week, not
stating the purposes for which they
desired it. Soon, however, the pub-
lican discovered that the apartment
was used for objects subversive of
his business, and ho instantly ex-
pelled the evangelists. Not only
publicans but tobacconists aro de-
ciaring a diminution in their tak-
ings; dozens of converts have given
up the habitof smoking.
At Caerphilly enthusiastic services
are held each night and continued
'into the• early hours of the morn -
Ing. Following the service a pro-
cession is formed and crowds parade
!the streets, singing hymns and plead-
ing with wayfarers to get converted.
At Llanelly, in consequence of the
revival meeting, the Felinfoel foot-
ball team. which got into the final
tie for the South Wales Challenge
Cup last year, has been disbanded,
and the fixture was cancelled. At
Taff's Well a young man, after de-
clining to attend the united prayer
meeting, went of his own accord at
midnight. When he returned home
he asked his sister to get him his
bag, which contained his "raring
clothes." His wish was complied
with, and he promptly consigned the
contents of the hag to the fire.

MacFarlane Was born, co -incident
with the mother's death. He imme-
diately went into (deep mourning and
ren►ained a recluse until a year from
the day his wife died. He celebrat-
ed his return to society by inviting
all his neighbors to a banquet.
Dinner was served in the death
chamber. 'l'he walls were papereel In

efer to her in any way. He took a'
Millar vow. Two months later the

Again the widower went into scrlu-

months. Then he gave a second ban-

orders and bearirg hand sketched

ones relating to Mrs. MacFarlane
they observed that ttvo black

MacFarlane married a third time,
