The highest gmger sreferred repeatedly to Gcrmany’s cor- dial relations with America. During one oi’ the trips a Uoloneltkickcd up un exploded shell stamped “ll. S."

The girls did not ex- pect to light, Init they voltiiiteerctl for n task as tlniitzciuiiis as any on the lir- ing line.

They were young women of the pro-

vince of Shiinii, divers by proft-ssloii. and what lliey asked leave to tio was to dive iii the ntine strcivit wtiters that guarded the -German fortress t.o iliid and retriove the mines. Trained from earliest chlldhootl, they ure. wonderful divers, able to remain under water for an aiiutzingly long time und to see

clearly iihthe green, sliininicry twi- light ofit c depths. Tliey believed they could slip overboard from the. .Iupuiiese wiirshlps. swim unnoticetl to the mine fields, and perhaps dive for some time uiidlscoveretl, lt' discovered. they would offer such small and ein- sivi-. targets that they might be able to complete their task even under ilre.

ln Japan, where pearl fishing is nn

important-industry. nine tenths ot' the pearl divers are wonien. Tiny girls, mere babies, are taught _by their moth- ers to switn und Inter to divo; the sen- shore is their pliiygrotiiitl. and at thir- teen or fourteen. when they leave school, they are usually ready to be- gin diving in eiirtiest. A good inother superintciuls her tittughtt-.\.r's diving ox- ertlises as t~tii~cl'ttll_v iuid instructs her as any gontl tlcrmaii llaiisrrau in atructs her tlnughter in tloniestic tasks. `A girl does not rcucli her highest point of efllcieiit-_v until sho is about twenty-five years old. She works from eight to ten hours ii day, with only two litilitliiys ia ntontli. diving in from fifteen to forty-live feet of water. .lnnuary and l<`i-Iiruiir_\' ure too cold for all day work. but even tlicii she often spends from inte to five hours tially on und under the water. Sho wears

a specinl dress of white cotton bloom- ers and short skirt, her hair is twist- ed into at tight knot with a cloth wound through it on top oi` her lieud, and site wears goggles to protect her eyes. A sniuli ttib nllnclieti to her waist holds the o_\'stcrs. She eiiriis front fifteen cents in it dollar ai day.

Ou this sinall pay she often saves n

Init all too oftcii hcl' lord and muster settles down tu subslst on her earnings, and sliefcoiitlniies, to dive i'or the famil_v, often lifter she is the niotlicr of iiuiiicrous children.

THE CURSE OF THE HAPSBURGS.

The reign of l~`rnncls Joseph has

been ii long and troubled one, biil the troubles of his family life have been far greater tltuii those oi' his dominion. Many oi' his nearest and dearest rela- tives have niet violent deaths. llls brother, Miiximilllan, Emperor oi` Mexico. wus deposed and afterwards shot by Juarez. The Crown Prince lttitlolpli niet u tragic death, the iny- stery aurrounding this has iir-.vcr been cleared up. but the generally iiccepted version is that he was it suicide. Another cruel blow wus the assassi- nation oi' the Empress I-llizabctli-one of the klntlest und best nf wtntiuit- - just its the prepnri-itlons for the cele- bration of the Einpcror’s 50th anni- versary were about completed. The tlisnppct-irniicc of Arcliduke Jnlin, the iitcsulllniit-es_ol' Archdnke Henry, und of Stcplianic. widow of Rudolph. are among the ninny nilnor troubles flint have fallhii to his lot. _The (‘urse of thc llnpsbnrgs is lnld licavily on

one is tlnit Coiiiitciis liiirol'/.i, frantic

over the execution of lier son i'or ‘|iarticiputioii in the iiuiigariaii revolt, tit' 1848, publicly cursed the Emperor and predicted it violent death i`or all his faiiiily. Another version is the story of the ravens, tvhich dates back to the lltii century. A flock of ravens is siiitl to have reiitlered a service to ii liapsburg. anti us u reward were allowed utitlisturbctl occupation ol' the lurrcts ol' thc Castle at Aar. Two huntlrcd years latter. Rudolph, the first liniperor, cniisetl the birds to be driven

'l'hc presciice of it raven uiiy\\'licre near a llttpsbiirg is tfuipposetl to indicate soine culiittiity nbo\it`to‘lu-ippen. ’|`liis raven legend ‘is llrinly believed ln in Austria, and nian_\' folks dccinretl they saw the birds with lilaximilliun before his de- purlurt- to Mexico. 'l`lic ravens are also aicciisetl ol' being with the Eni- press shortly before her ussnssituit ion; superstition dies hard.

The real curse ol' this house 'is n

.tendency to insanity, several mein- ‘bers have been undoiihtcdl_\‘ ltisune. and the "cct~eiitrlc" liupsburgs can be counted by the score. The last hard blow to full on the poor old Emperor was tlte assassinatioii of his heir, Arclidulte l~`rancls Ferdinand, which wus the excuse, rather than thc rea- son, for the outbreak of this great war. f While l<`rant-is Joseph has not been in great ruler ite has. at least. been skilful in holding his empire together. und in gathering in such scraps ol' power, glory and territory as oppor- tuiilty offered iiini. \\’lien he passes .there is not ii successor strong enough, or wllli experieiit-t-\ enough. io keep Ilic loitering nionarch_\' together.
