The WHALES.-Our announcement of the
arrival of two whales in this city created quite
a curiosity to see these rare specimens of the
finny tribe. Early Saturday morning large
crowd f1ocked to the Grand Trunk yard and at
one tune the number of children was so great
that the yard master scarcely dared to run
trains for fear of causing injury to some of
them. AT last remedy was devised. A pla-
card reading admission to the whales 49,"
was posted, and after that they were not troub-
led much. Yesterday large number of the
curious obtained admission through the polite
ness of Messrs. Harper and Coup. They are
worth seeing, but those who have them in
charge are anxious to keep them as quiet as
possible. Mr. Coup, who went to Labrador for
them, gives a very vivid account of his adven-
lures. He went to Quebec on tie Goth of last
March, and from there went to Murray Bay or
Malhaie, small fishing village about two hun
dred miles to the north. AT Malhsie he char
tered a schooner of twenty-five tons, and pro-
cured a French captain and a crew of thirty
five men. 1t took two weeks to reach the coast
of Labrador in the schooner. After arriving
they proceeded as follows In the capture:
Stakes, or pins, as the fishermen call them
are driven into the water in semi-circle, some
distance from the coast thus forming a sort of
bay. The young whales come close to the shore
in pursuit of minn6ws which form their food,
and the fishermen wade into the water after
them, while others approach in the opposite d.
rection in the boats. The stakes, which are
placed at intervals of foot apart from each
other, prevent the escape of the whales, and
they are lifted into the BOATS by the fishermen,
Immediately taken ashore and placed in tanks.
But it is not every day that whales swim into
these enclosures, and for three weeks the party
waited in vain. Finally two fine ones, male
and a female. were secured, placed in tanks
made of wood, put on board the schooner, and
sail was made for Quebec The whales will
leave for New York tonight.

The herring is now used as food fish to a
considerable extent, both smoked and picked,
but the menhaden very little, solely on account
of its great abundance of fine bones so numer-
Gus as to give it common name in some Sec
tions, "Bony Fish,. Both belong to the same
family, (the clopeidae), which includes also the
shad, alewive, sardine, anchovy and others.
The juices of all Of them are remarkable for
abundance and richness of flavor. In view of
this fact Mr.. Goo1ale incines to believe til at
the true function of the manhaden in the econ
omy of nature is now first recognized. How
ever this may be, it is safe to say that the
amount of raw material at command for max
Ing his extract is practically withoutlimits,
and the yield of oil and scrap (the only products
before sought is not at all affected by the
utilization Of the juices, these having uniform
formy been allowed to flow back into the
ocean. His plan, therefore, puts to use what
has been entirely wasted hitherto, and promi-
ses 10 furnish valuabls and extensive add.
ton to the food supply of the world.
Its manufacture, although costly compared
with articles possessing only ordinary nutritive
power, will be cheaper than that of beef,
pay for taking the fish.
When Baron Liebig first announced his
discovery of beef extract and its remarkable
properties, nobody anticipated beyond a very
limited use of it. He, himself, ventured, ow-
ing to its great cost only to recommend it to
the government, to be made in sufficient GUAM
titles to supply to wounded soldiers on the
field of battle, weakened with the loss of blood
to enable their safe removal to the nearest hos
pital, but its extraordinary merits gradually
won for it much wider employment notwith,
standing the great expense attending it, So
that when its manufacture, about 1864, was
undertaken in South America and other coun
tries where beef was plenty and cheap, the de-
maud increased rapidly and at the present
time hundreds of thousands of cattle are an
nually slaughtered for this purpose, and the
extract is sold in all parts of the world. The
new extract from the juices of fish as yet has
only been made in an experimental way but
we understand that preparations are in pro-
gress for larger operations during the present
year.

TO ALL, particularly invalids, spring is a trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be at
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated and the system
to remain in disordered condition. until the disor-
der has time to develop itself. An of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled
with the complaints NV very prevalent headache,
indigestion disordered liver, want of appetite, nau-
sea- or feverish skin to take without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action. 1t at strikes at
the root of the disease and produces healthy tone to
the system. People never need suffer from any dis
ease arising from disordered condition of the liver
if they would take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady. Families
leaving home for the summer months should take
three or four boxes OF these pills with them. They
have an almost instantaneous effect. They will re-
lieve the patient of headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding
bile, and will effectually prevent bilious attack
