Length of Whales.

Mr.. Scoresby, very high authority
ON this subject, declares the common
whale seldom exceeds seventy feet in
length, and is much more frequently
under sixty. Out of three hundred and
twenty-five whales, which he assisted
personally in capturing, not one exceed
ed fifty eight feet, and the largast OF
which he knew the reported measure
ment to be authentic came up to only
sixty-seven feet. Two specimens of the
rorqual or razor back whale have been
observed of one hundred and five feet
in length. One of these was found
floating lifelcss in Davis Straits, and the
skeleton of the other was seen by
Clarke in Columbia River, and must,
tail and all, when alive have measured
one hundred and twelve feet. Other
specimens, have measured a hundred,
and many others from eighty to ninety
feet. One cast on shore at North Ber-
wick, Scotland, and preserved by Doc
tor Knox, was eighty-three feet III
length. These instances seems to es-
tablish the average and extreme length
of these huge animals. But with con-
siderable credulity in earlier accounts
Baron Cuvier, the eminent naturalist,
says stoutly, "there is no doubt that
whales have been seen at certain epochs
and in certain seas upwards of three
hundred feet long, or one hundred yards
in length"

To q Cold.Footed Lady.

Madam, says Dio Lewis, allow me tc
prescribe for you. ! have had long
experience in the management of deli.
cate women, and believe l can give you
some important advice. For the pres
ent Iprescribe only for your feet.
lst. Procure quantity of woollen
stockings-not such as you buy at the
stores under the name of lambs wool,
that you can read newspaper through,
but the kind that your Aunt Jerusha in
the country knits for You, thick as a
board, that will keep your feet dry and
warm in spite of wind and weather.
I'd. If you want to be really thor
ough, change them every morning,
hanging the fresh ones by the fire du-
ring the night.
3D.. Procure thick calf-skin boots,
double uppers and triple soles, and
wear them from the first of October till
the first of May Make frequent ap-
plications of some good oil backing.
4th. Avoid rubbers altogether, except
pair of large rubber boots, which may
be worn for little time through snow
drifts or food of water.
9TH. Hold the bottoms of your feet in
cold water half an inch deep, just be-
fore going to bed, two or three minutes,
and then rub them hard with rough
towels and your naked hands.
9th. Now, madam, go out freely in
all weathers, and, believe me, not only
will your feet enjoy good circulation,
but as consequence of the good circu-
lation in the lower extremities, your
head will be relieved of all its fulness
and your heart of its palpitations.
Your complexion will be greatly i'm
proved and your health made better in
every respect.
