Many bills have been held up in
the Senate because of the failure
of senators to attend committee
meetings in numbers sufficient to
make a quorum, so as to secure
committee reports. Senator Clarke
of Arkansas read the riot act to
senators who do attend to their
duties and especially to those who
go gallivanting about the country
on political and other missions. A
majority of a committee is now re
quired for quorufn, but it is pro
posed to amend the rules so that a
less number may act.
Dr. Magitot, a leading Paris Sur

the wonderful operation of grafting
a piece of the cornia of one per

where the cornea had been made
opaque by an injury. The doctor
cut out a piece of it, making a sort
of window and in this opening
placed a new pane cut from the
eve of a person who had died some
time before—the eye being kept
"alive” meantime by methods now
well known.
FEMALE DIVERS OF JAPAN
Women Who Begin at 13 to Search
for Pearls in the Coast
Waters.
The pearl divers of Japan are wom
en. Along the coast of the Bay of Ago
and the Bay of Kokasho the thirteen
and fourteen-year-old gills, after they
have finished their primary school
work, go to sea and learn to dive.
They are in the water and learn to
swim almost from babyhood and spend
nost of their time in the water except
in the coldest season, from the end of
December to the beginning of Febru
ary. Even during the most inclement
of seasons they sometimes dive for
pearls.
They wear a special dress, white tin
ierwear and the hair twisted up into
a hard knot. The eyes are protected
by glasses to prevent the entrance of
water. Tubs are suspended from the
waist. A boat in command of a man
is assigned to every five or ten women
livers to carry them to and from the
fishing grounds.
When the divers arrive on the
;rotinds they leap into the water at
mce and begin to gather oysters at
he bottom. The oyters are dropped
ito tubs suspended from tlieir waists.
Vhen the vessels are filled the divers
ire raised to the surface and jump into
he boats. They dive to a depth of
rom five to thirty fathoms without
my special apparatus and retain their
breath from one to three minutes.
Their ages vary from thirteen to
orty years and between twenty-five
nd thirty-five they are at their prime.

rouNG b-:aver's day’s work
lecord Made by One of the Animals
in Regent's Park Gardens,
London.
A young beaver in Regent’s Park
ardens, London, was once placed at
.ork upon a tree 12 feet long and 2
eet 6 inches thick just as the town
locks sounded the hour of noon. The
eaver began by harking the trpe a
oot above the ground.
That done he attacked the wood,
ie worked hard, alternating his labor
>'Ith dips in his bathing pond. He
lathed and labored alternately until
1 o'clock in the afternoon, when he
ite his supper of bread and carrots
md paddled about in his pond until
lalf-past 5 o’clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one
nch of the tree's diameter remained
ntact, he bore upon his work and the
ree fell. Before it fell the beaver
an as men run when they have tired
i blast. Then as the tree lay on the
;round he portioned it out mentally
ind again began to gnaw.
He worked at intervals all night,
;ut the log into three parts, rolled
wo of the portions into the water
'nd reserved the other third for his
lermanent shelter. The work done,
ie took a bath.—Harper’s Weekly.
A Cooking Feat in the Air.
To cook a potato pie at the top of a
chimney three hundred feet high by
neans of the heat generated in the
ires below would seem an impossible
ask, yet such a feat was on one ocoa
ion accomplished by John Faulkner,
, famous Lancashire steeplejack.
The incident was the outcome of a
rager between Faulkner and the man
.ger of a Manchester gas works, who
loubted John’s statement regarding
he excessive heat.
A large iron kettle was procured,
tnd this, being tilled with necessary in
[redients—sixty-six pounds in weight
—was hoisted to the summit of the
uige chimney stack. Faulkner placed
he receptacle on the outer and cool
>st side of the brickwork, but despite
his. the contents were found to be
horoughly cooked in one hour and
wenty minutes, or ten minutes less
han the stiplated time.
Faulkner won his wager and the
lie, which, it Is said, was slightly
>urned at the bottom, was afterwards
iistributed among the poor of the
listrict.—Bystander.
The Useful Verb "To Get.”
There is no word, long or short, in
ho English language capable of per
’orming so murh labor in a clear, in
elligihlo sense as the verb to get;
>nd here Is an old-time specimen of
ts capabilities;
"I got on horseback within ten min
ites after after I got your letter. When
i got to Canterbury 1 got a chaise for
own; but. I got wet through before I
tot to Canterbury and I have got such
i cold as 1 shall not be able to get
id of in a hurry. 1 got to the treasury
nbout noon, but first of all I got
shaved and dressed. 1 soon got into
he secret of getting a memorial before
:he board, but 1 could not get an
mswer then; however, T got intelli
gence from the messenger that I
should most likely get one the next
morning. As soon as 1 got hack to my
nn I got my supper. When I got up
in the morning 1 got my breakfast
ind then got myself dressed that I
might get out in time to get an answer
to my memorial. As soon as I got it
i got into the first chaise and got to
Canterbury by 3 o’clock, and about
tea time 1 got home.”

TROUBLE
AVERTED
"You must find that newspaper
dreadfully interesting!" said Mrs. Al
cook resignedly after her husband had
been immersed in its pages fifteen
minutes or so.
“Hugh?” asked Alcock, startled.
Oh." he explained. “I was just read
ing about that aviation meet. I’d
.ike an airship myself.”
“Why,” said Mrs. Alcock, “there’d
be just about as much sense in your
having an airship as in my insisting
on getting that diamond necklace I
saw in the window and liked! You
couldn’t run an aeroplane if you had
It.”
"I don’t know about that,” returned
Alcock. “I don’t know that I haven't J
as much brains as the ordinary man
and it seems to me if I applied my- !
self to the study assiduously and
didn't stop for meals or sleep I might -
in time qualify to handle one of those
things! It’s too bad you have such a
low' opinion of my mental ability,
Evangeline!”
"Oh, I’m not saying anything about
your brains,” explained Mrs. Alcock.
"It wouldn’t take brains especially
just to remember what levers to pull
and push, but somehow I can’t
imagine your doing anything like
that! It’s so—so daring!”
“Oh. make me out a stick and a
coward!” said Alcock. bitterly. “Of
course you wouldn't care if I took my
life In my hands every time I ascend
ed you hadn't thought of that!”
"Well, all I've got to say, Lucius Al
i oclt,” said his wife, indignantly, “is
that any man “with a family on his
hands thinks precious little of his
duties and responsibilities when he
rushes headlong into idoicallv fool
ish dangers' I’d like to know' w'hat
Tommy and little Eva and I would do
if you got all smashed up cavorting
around in the air just for your own
selfish pleasure and not giving a
thought to those nearest and dearest
to you! At least they ought to be
dearest, but goodness only knows
nowadays what men think, rushing
off at every crazy notion! ’’
“That’s always the way!” declared
Alcock. “Women are not a bit pro
gressive or interested in their hus
bands’ advancement. All they care
about is to have them trot along in
the same dull old way, just so they
turn in their pay checks at the end of
the week! They haven't a thought
above groceries and the gas bill! ”
“Well, I'd like to hear what you’d
say if T tried to feed you on pickled
airships!” cried his wife. “Or if I
ran gasoline through the gas pipes! 1
guess you'd think groceries and gas
were pretty important things after
all! You can't make the family’s
clothes out of airships, either!”
“Clothes!” echoed Alcock. “I sup
pose clothes are of more importance
than the—the progress of the human
race! I suppose you'd consider that
necklace more necessary to the trend
of civilization than an airship!”
“I don't see why not!” declared
Mrs. Alcock, tapping on the table with
her thimble. "I don’t see why it isn't
just as important for me to keep my
self up and look as nice as I can and
wear pretty things so the children
won’t he ashamed of their mother and
vou won't, either—though goodness
knows I might change my dress five
times a day and you wouldn’t notice
it!
“That necklace wasn t expensive
when you consider the clearness of
the stones and you can always sell
diamonds! I never heard of any one
being able to pawn an airship! Why,
an airship would be a perfect drug on
the market, with no place to keep it,
because the back yard is too narrow,
besides there'd be no place to hang
the washing on Mondays! And I'd
never consent to your taking little
Tommy out in it Sunday mornings,
so 1 don't see what good it would do
the family, Lucius Alcock!"
•'Rvery bit, as much good as your
diamond necklace!" said her husband,
scathingly. “I couldn't wear it and
you couldn't even give it to Tommy
to play with, because he might swal
low it. And a man doesn’t exactly
buy an airship to amuse the family!”
“Well, all I’ve got to say.” declared
Mrs. Alcock, getting out her handker
chief, "is that a married man hasn't
any business spending a lot of money
on something his family can't enjoy
with him! It's downright selfish, so
It is. and I’d never have thought it of
you! ”
“It’s no more selfish than you and
your diamonds!” asserted Alcock
sternly. "Of all foolish ideas that’s
the worst!”
“You never want me to have any
thing I want!” kept Mrs. Alcock.
“You're always down on my buying
things that I like,” retorted Alcock.
His eye at that instant fell upon
the hole in the rug and the scratched
wood of the sq/a. A slow grin elim
inated the flush of indigation on his
countenance and he reached over and
placed his hand on Mrs. Alcock's little
fist that lay clinched on the table.
“Evangeline,” he said, in a different
tone, “so long as I'm getting only fif- j
teen hundred a year and there are
four of us I don't believe we really
need to spat, over buying airships and
diamonds, do we?”
Mrs. Alcock gave a final snifT and
then giggled helplessly'. “It is awful
ly foolish," sho said.
Impatience is the worst foe of Im
provement.
