A Curious Story.

A late number of the Commercial Al.
rertiser of Honolulu relates the fact that
one of the whale ships in that harbor re-
Gently captured a whale in the Arctic seas
which had in its carcass a harpoon. This
harpoon was known to belong to another
ship which was at that time cruising in
the northern seas ON the other side OF
the continent. The whale had evidently
passed from one open sea to the other by
way of the Pole. He must have found
open water, for even Il whale must come
up at short intervals to blow. 1t is GER
tain that the Polar sea is navigable for
whales from one side of the continent to
the other. But while it does not follow
that ships would follow the same track,
the last fact cited is one of considerable
interest. Shipmasters may he able to
navigate the Polar sea wht n they know
as much about navigation n high lati-
tudes as this whale with n harpoon
sticking in his back,

A SHARP CORRESPONDENCE has been
going on in the London papers with re
ference to some features of the game of
football as played at Rugby School. One
of these, which is peculiar to Rugby, is
termed hacking" and consists in a
vigorous and vicious kicking of an an
tagonist's ships when the opposing
sides come to close quarters, or, in the
school parlance, indulge in eight
scrummage." A surgeon who has been
attending Rugby boyn aimed by hack
ing, writes to the papers to protest
against what he considers brutal and
dangerous practice which has crept into
an otherwise manly sport whereupon
a crowd of old Rugbeians rally to its de-
fence, and insist that, because they have
survived the process, the boys who come
after them are also likely to escape

Life and Time.

Life Ia 10 cheap and yet 40 dear
We prize II, but we soorn II too,
And plod our round nom year to year
With little or to hope or do
Each day brings frotful cares and coil,
And sorrows come, and joys depart,
And We grow old with weary toll,
Or else nom listlessness OF heart
What matters which, what matters how
Time hcedeth not our titiul moods,
But stamps it's signet on our brow
In city life or sohtudes
And we grow old yet scarcely feel
Tho incesssnt whirling Of the wheel,
Nor heed the traces that declare
We are not now what once we were;
The world has sworn us 10 its ways,
ado this" il SAWS, and we obey;
There IN no freedom ip our praise
And little courage left to pray.
At moments with sudden pain,
We gasp and cry for youth again,
And wonder whence the joy has gone,
Which We were wont to feed upon;
When Love with Life walked hand In hand,
When twas boundless bliss to dare
The mighty peaks that guard the land
Where wisdom dwells serenely fair
Dear heaven how strong and rich we We're
For Joy breeds strength, and hope give
power,
And knowledge IL tho young mans dover,
And youthful dreams are fair domains,
And happy thoughts are golden gains.
The dreams are gone, the rapture past,
Each year moves calmly like the last,
The sea that foamed with dearning roar
Creeps laggard-like along tho shore
We tread the footsteps Of our sires
With petty aims and mean desires,
And idly act our little part
Like puppets fashioned for a show :
Teach US, o Lord how great Thou art,
That we our greatness, too, may know.

SKATING COSTUMES, Freedom of act
ion and movement being indispensable
to skating, ordinary street or parlol
costume is not suited to it for ladies'.
Neither are the heavy furs and wrap
pings Which are otherwise required as
protection against cold necessary where
constant exercise produces natural
warmth. Hence lady-skaters have
adopted style Of dress which, while it
enables them to move about with grace
and ease, suflices also to retain the
warmth, produce exercise and to coun
teract any ill-ctfects from cold which
would otherwise result from change to
any less rapid and violent motion, and
presents withal happy picturesquness
of appearance in style and color that add
greatly to the life and gaiety of a skating
scene. The fashion for this season will
be tight jackets of Astrakhan, or other
material, trimmed with fur, small hats,
dress looped up short to display the
feet, which will be incased in strong
leather boots, we'll lined, instead of be-
ing trimmed with fur, as that gives an
awkward appearance to the pedal ex-
tremities. Brilliant colors will be one
of the distinguishing features of this
winters skat ng costume.

Danger from the Waste Gas Of Furnaces.

Attention has just been called by DR..
Percy, an eminent metallurgist. to the
danger of using the waste gas from the
blast furnace. A principal ingredient OF
this gas, as is well known, consists OF
carbonic oxide, the inhalation of which,
in very small quantities, whether pure
or mixed with air, is sufficient to destroy
life. The employment of the waste gas
of blast furnaces for heating of steam
boilers, etc, is extending daily, and DIR.
Percy fears that deaths from its inhala-
ton, may become frequent, unless nose
who use it are fully aware of its physio
logical action. Numerous cases OF pois-
oning of this kind are already on record.

The HORROR OF WAR-Ten DAYS ago

soldiers were drinking together, when
one proposed to attack Prussian picket
of thirteen men. The leader agreed.
and, gathering twenty-five men, he crept
up upon the post. The sentinel was shot,
and the twenty-five burst into the hut
where the relief was sitting about the
fire. Before the Germans could rise
they received a volley and were bayonet-
ted before they could recover their arms
Twelve men, without arms in their hands
to defend themselves, were killed the
