TIE HEAD oF A WHALE.

The head is one-third the entire length of
a sperm-whale, and in obtaining the valuable
spermaced which it contains, the whalemen
divide it into three parts-the "case,n the
Junk" and the bone. The 'junk' is first
hauled on board and slowed away, and then
the fcase" is bailed. The "case' is mas
sive part of the head, cellular in the interior,
the walls of cells running vertically and
transyersely, 1t isfilled with oily substance
of faint yellow tint, translucent when
warm. The oil-bearing flesh forms about
one-third of the mass, and in a large whale
it has yielded three and half tons. The
case also contains the respiratory canal, and
cavity of extraordinary depth filled with
oil. An opening is made at one end for the
purpose of bailing, and it is next hauled
to yerticle position beyond the reach of the
water A deep and narrow bucket attached
to line and pulley is then lowered, and
brought up full of transparent spermaceti
mixed with silky integuments, having the
odor Of freshly drawn milk. The sore hands
of the crew bathed in this rich substance,
are relieved and healed, and the greenhorns
dabble in it with the inehable satisfaction
displayed by the city youngsters in a mud
puddle.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

An interesting incident has just occurred
at Bucharest, and has created profound
sensation in theatrical circles in that place.
1t seems that the proprietor of the Suhr
Circus, anxious to provide amusement for
the public, lately published an announcement
that a challenge given by Jules Rigal, a
wrestler attached to the circus, had been
accepted by gentleman who, wishing to
preserve a strict incognito, would appear be-
fore the public in a week The amateur
athlete, who, it was stated, was a person oc-
oupying high social position, was rumOred
to be no other than Prince Stourdja, a
Moldayian noble who has the reputation of
possessing hercIiean strength. On the even
ng when "the great unknown made his
first appearance in the circus, the stalls were
filed with eager spectators long before the
commencement of the performance, Rigal
and his masked opponent having made their
bow to the audience, at once commenced the
struggle, which was, however, Of short du-
ration, for the distinguished unknown in a
few minutes, amidst frantic applause, doored
his professional antagonist. So great was
the success Of the spectacle that the manager
announced to the admiring audience that
the nobleman wrestler had condescended to
appear again before them on the following
evening, when the performance was accord
ingly repeated, and was continued for sever
al successive nights, until one evening, an
indi~creet member of the troupe unfortu.
nately diyulged the fact that the masked
wrestler was not distinguished nobleman
but only one of the clowns attached to the
circus. This led to a disturbance, the "grea
unknown narrowly escaped being torn t.
pieces by his late admirers, the manager anC
his troupe had to fly for their lives, and tn
circus building would probably have beer
dismantlcd and destroyed but for the exertion
of the police, who, with great difficulty, sue
hceeded in repressing what promised to be
serioIs riot. -. nr

the woods one noon when one Of the party
a young man named Dougherty, stretched
out on his back, pulled his hat over his eyes,
and gave his mind up to tue work Of assist
ing his body to catch little rest. The re-
mainder ofthe party havingan understanding
before hand quietly Withdrew, one by one.
One Of them passed uround to a bash, near
Doughertys feet and took tin rattle-box
from his pocket Another stood close to the
young man 5 legs, and, in a suppressed voice,
when the signal was given, whispered
''For Heavens sake Dougherty, don't
move as much as sa finger a big grattlcsnako
is right under your leg ~ .I-..
Dougherty was fat on his back, eyes
covered arms sprawled out, and his voice
tremblsd as he replied
my God what shall do?'
"Koep perfectly quiet 1t is your only
hope If you even raise finger he will
dart his langs into yoan'
The man with the Iattle-box gave it a
shake, and reached out and laid club across
Doughertys legs, while the other man moved
of about twenty feet and exclaimed:
Heavens. what can we do? five shoot
we may kill Dougherty."
The club was rolled off on the ground and
the victim whispered
For mercy sake kill lit"
The club was rolled over his legs again
the box shaken, and the man whispered
back
''Be quiet or it is instant death! l think
the snake wants to go to sleep, and if yor
will keep still you will be all right"
The box was shaken, the club moved
around, and finally the snake" seemed Il
Dougherty to settle down on his breast. II,
dared not whisper for fear of rousing it, bu
one of the men called out
"There it is asleep. Wen move ava,
and wait for it to glide of %
The whole crowd moved off behind banl
and laughed and rolled and tore up the dir
until they were exhausted, while poo
Dougherty lay there like log, not evel
daring to draw an ordinary breath. Tn
sweat ran down his face, and started ou
from his body until his shirt was wringin
wet. The fellows took their guns AM
tramped away, leaving him thus, and wer
gone Tor an hour and half. When the
returned Dougherty was sitting up, havin
discovered the joke about FIVE minutes prev
iously. He did not have word to say, bu
there was a whole unabridged dictionary i
his eye. They spoke to him, but for answe
he rose up, shouldered his gun, made bee
line for the highway, and none of the part
has met him since.

Dear Anna, when brought her veil,
Her white veil, on her wedding night
Threw DER my thin brown hair its folds
And, laughing, turned, me to the light
"sce, nossic, see! you wear at last
The bridal veil, iorsworn for years"
She saw my iace-her laugh was hushed,
Her happy eyes were fned with tears.
With kindly haste and trembling hand
She drew away tn gauzy mist;
"Forcivc. dear hoartr' her sweet voice said
Her luyiag lips ny forehead kissed.
We passcd from ont the searching light,
The summer night was calm and fair;
did NOS see her pitying eyes,
] felt her soft hand smooth my hair.
Her tender love ualocked my heart;
Mid falii tears at last said,
"Forswon, indeed, tonne that veil,
Because ! only love the deadw
She stood one moment statue-still
And, musing, s,ake in mdertone,
"The living love may colder grow
