! JAPAN’S WOMEN DIVERS.
—
In tho Water and Learn to Swim AD
most From Babyhood.
The pearl divers of Japan are wo
men. Along the coast of the bay of
' Ago and the hay of Kowasho the thir
teen and fourteen-year-old girls 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
most 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 un
derwear and the hair twisted up into
a hard knot. The eyes are protected
hy 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
divers to carry them to and from the
fishing grounds.
When the divers arrive on the
grounds thoy leap into the water at
once and begin to gather oysters at
the bottom. The oysters are dropped
I Into tubs suspended from their waists.
When these vessels are filled the divers
are raised to the surface and Jump
j into the boats. They dive to a depth
of from five to thirty fathoms without
any special apparatus and retain their
breath from one to three minutes.
Their ages vary from thirteen to
forty years, and between twenty-five
i ftud thirty-five they are at their prime.

Napoleon at Waterloo.
The question, “Was Napoleon him
self at the battle of Waterloo?” does
uct admit of a flat answer, lie was
not himself physically. The dread dis
i ease of which six years later he died
was at work upon him. and the phys
ical decay, while it in no way affected
his mind, told heavily upon his will.
It was, for instance, observed that
during his last campaign he was of
ten found to be in a sleepy mood, that
he talked instead of acting, that he
frequently asked for the opinions of
others, a thing that he had rarely been
known to do before, and that he seem
ed quite often to waver in his resolu
tion, whereas he had always been not
ed for the rapidity of his decisions.
Mentally it was the same old Napo
leon. but the great intellect was sorely
handicapped by the stomach trouble
that was so soon to kill him.—New
York American.
An Old Friend.
A private soldier once rendered some
• slight service to the first Napoleon.
“Thank you, captain.” said the em
i peror carelessly.
“In what regiment, sire?” was the
instant response of the quick witted
private.
“In my guards.” replied the emperor,
pleased with the man’s ready retort
This incident, with appropriate vari
ations, also happened to Genghis
Khan, Ivan the Terrible, Attila, Gus
j tavus Adolphus. Louis XIV., Charle
magne, Alexander, King Alfred, Xer
xes. Richard the Lion Hearted and
Henry of Navarre.—Success Magazine. |
