“Your Honor,” said he, “I had just

TRICKS IN HIGH DIVING.
The Secret of Dropping Safely Into 8
Shallow Tank of Water.
_ “What bothers most people who think
anything about the subject,” said Kear-
ney P. Speedy, a high diver, who, says
the New York Herald, began his pub-
lic career by jumping head first from
the St. Louis bridge four or five years
years ago, “is how a. dive of 50 or 60 feet
can be made in a tank of 36 inches of
water. You see, they confuse diving
with bridge jumping—quite a different
thing. Bridge jumpers are neither
that is, they renchthe lower rods of
the bridge truss and drop feet foremost
into the water. The trick is to main-
tain the perpendicular. They must
have plenty of water under them, too.
1‘ he high diver, as you have seen, makes
a clear dive, head first, just as a boy
does from a springboard in swimming.
1' do it in very shallow water. I weigh,
stripped,lso pounds, and never do any
training. I have been diving from the
top of a circus tent all summer into a
tank but seven feet wide, and into water
but three feet deep. The shallow dive
is possible from the same principle that
a cannon or rifle shot meets the most
resistence the more. powerful the im-
pact. You see, I give my body and head
a. slight inclination upward at the in-
stant l strike the water, which causes
.me to pop out as a. board would do or
on our on the feather. I learned this
trick in the St. Louis iiututorium when
a boy, pructicmg in shallow water and
from a. greater'hcight. Then there is
a. certain elasticity in the water known.
to the high diver, but the trick isin the
strike and turn, for water will break
bones and crush chests, as many a man
knows.” . ' . . _

BISMARCK WAS HER GUIDE.
sne Mistook Him for Her Cousin midi-1e
Showed Her Berlin.
Fifty-six years ago, when I was still
in my teens, it was decided that I should
go and spend a. few months in Rome.
Accompanied by an elderly chaperon
and a couple of maids, I set out with the
intention of making a short .stay in
Berlin. A sister of my father had
married a German, and their son, “the
German cousin,” as .we styled him, was
a student at the university. I had never
seen him, however.. A few days before
my departure my father sent him a let
for asking him to take me under his
wing. I safely arrived in Berlin, and
met with a cord inl reception on the part
of the. (IOI'IllIlll cousin. to was a tall
young,r mun With a large mustache and
dark, flushing eyes. I was almost afraid
of him. For three days he was my
faithful companion. To be sure, he
could not speak a word of Swedish. but
we contrivcd to get along very well in
French. I never had so pleasant a can'-
uliei- to attend upon me; I felt quite
proud of my German cousin. The hour
for continuing my journey arrived only
too quickly. “Cousin,” he said, as I
got on the train, “I have something to
tell you. Strange as you may think it,
I am not your cousin. My friend, your
‘Germau cousin’—-—the real one, I mean
——is just now so busy preparing for his
exam. that he asked me to carry your
father’s wishes into cfi’ect in his stead—
my name is Otto von Bismarck.” I
looked at him in blank amazement; the
train moved OE and the adventure was
at an end. In 1880, after forty years of
married life, I happened to pass again
through Berlin. I wrote a few words
on a cord and sent it to the great chan-
cellor. An hour later I received a sum-
mons to his palace, and we were soon in
the thick of an animated conversation.
Bismarck was in capital spirits. Among
other things he said: “I am indebted
to you for the opportunity of visiting
the Berlin museums; since that time I ‘,
have never had the chance.”—.G_ote-
borgpost.
Corset First \Vorn by Men.
The much-maligned corset 'was in-
vented and first worn by men. The
earliest mention in history of this arti-
cle is by Aristophanes, who lived in the
fifth century B. C. In one of his
comedies hc ridicules a brother poet
who, inordinately vain of his personal _
beauty, was dissatisfied with the shape
of his figure, which was far removed
from ideal symmetry, being much too
thin for his height. He therefore hit
upon the plan of improving his phy-
sique by encasing his body in an under-
cuir-nss made of little pieces of wood.
The idea. was imitated later on by an-
other man, theEmperior Antoninus
Pius, who found great difficulty in per-
suading the Roman women to follow his
example. ’ '
