The Arctic whaling Fleet.

The twenty or more whale-ships
which came down from the Arctic last
autumn have mostly started again fol
the same destination. These vessels
viii not arrive in the Arctic before some
time in May. They fish by the way,
making long stretches out of direc,
course, sometimes getting well over
toward Japan, and sometimes nosine
about the OkhOtsk Sea, for any chance
to strike 8 few whales in this latitude.
Besides the fleet of sailing ships, there
viii be three steamers in the Arctic this
season-viz. The Belvedere and North
Star, of New Bedford, and the new
steamer now on tie stocks at this port,
which will be completed inside of the
next two months. The sailing ships are
all old-fashioned, short, oak-built ships,
which have done good service in other
business before they were sent around
to the Arctic. Some of them were pack
cts fifty years ago. They are stin strong,
weatherly ships, and seem to be indie
pendent of all decay. the cold weather
of the Arctic and the saturation of oil
have tendency to preserve ships. I'm
less these old vessels get nipped IN the
ice, they may be good for at least a quar-
ter of century more of good service.
By that time there will probably
be no use for anything but the screw
steamships in whaling. Even now an
other use of steam in whaling has been
introduced-the steam tender, or small
boat with steam, strong enough to tow
q dead whale long distance and tow
the whaleboats to the fishing grounds
Steam can not be used in following
whales, on account of the noise. But
it can be used as an auxiliary in the
ways suggested, and, it is said, with
substantial advantage. A great many
whales are struck and lost. But a steam
tender to hitch on and tow thirty Of
forty miles is the latest improvement in
whaling. The old sailing vessels will
wear out in the business. They do moi
represent great deal of capital. Now
and then an old ship worth five or SIX
thousand dollars, and twice that sum in
the matter of outfit, viii come into port
with thousand barrels of oil, and as
much bone as can be stored away. The
interest on capital is small. The profits
are large. That is why these old bluff
toweo ships soaked with whale-Ol are
SO dear to the hearts of their owners.
The steam whalers, with outfit, cost any
where from $4,000 to $4,000, &C.
cording to size. These must come into
port with large fares, or the venture
would be a losing business.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

A Stranger to Liberty.

That incorrigible and aged scamp,
Charles Langheimer, who has spent
about one-hak of his fourscore years OF
existence behind prison bars, will short
" be released from the Eastern Peni-
Tertiary. The old man has attained q
notoriety under the sobriquet of 'tDick-
ems Dutchman," the great novelist
having employed his pen, in his Ameri-
can sketches, to inveigh against the SOL
itary confinement system followed in
the penitentiary, and selecting Lang
heimer, who was undergoing a four
years. sentence when the romancer Wis
tied the Jail, as special case to Illus
trate the misery of the prisoners. Lang
heimer was first sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary on May 15, 1910, having been
arrested for some thieVing operations.
He served his term out and was re-
leased, but was soon sent back again.
His history since that time has been q
series of repetitions. A release from
prison, a short freedom, and an
other long term of imprisonment
made up his life. In March, 1877, he
was caught in the act of stealing silver
watch and was sent back to his old
quarters at Cherry Hill. Soon after his
release in 1879 he again went back to his
old habits, and for the theft of some
money from the office of Messrs. Adams
Il Story, Ninth and Girard avenue, was
taken back to prison. 1t is this last
term which he is now about completing.
During his long confinement Langheim-
er painted the walls of his cell quite
beautifully, using eolors extracted from
the warn with which he was obliged to
work.
On being released from prison in 1877,
the old man went to Michigan to work
on farm, but shortly after the inspect
ors of the penitentiary received note
asking that they send him some money
to return and receive him back into the
jail No attention was paid TO the letter,
but shortly after Langheimer turned up
in the city and found his way into the
house of correction. After his release
he committed a crime and was sent back
to his quarters at Cherry Hill.-Phila-

A Good Breakfast.

Food aud Health gives this timely
advice on the above subject: "The
breakfast we take in winter will de-
termine our efficiency for work during
the day, and will 80 influence our
whole being for that length of time
that no after meal can correct it. It
must contain more heterogeneous food
than in summer; it is absolutely
needed. You must store heat to fur
nish material for absorbtion and for
maintaining vitality; add to this nj.
trogenous food something that will
disengage heat from the blood and
keep up temperature. and you may
defy the coolest day. Your face may
feel it, your hands may feel it, but
your body will be impervious ia. it
and 60 on disengaging that inward
heat which can alone withstand the
lowered temperature without. # this
first meal has been properly attended
to, we may presume thAsEvital action
can be maintained in I'LL force for
Ave hours at least before It needs re-
plenishing,
