PisCatoriaI DaInties.

A writery in Chambers Journal says
L have tried both whale and porpoise
and found porpoise liver excellent, and
and not to be distinguished from that of
pig. Of the flesh, however, can hardly
speak so highly, as it requires both good
cooking and long abstinence from fresh
meat to make it all palatable. Our an
cestors, however, were of a different
opinion, as in olden times it was highly
esteemed and we generally find the
"porpuss figuring at banquets of the
middle ages. But If the flesh of the
of his big cousin, the whale, is still more
SO; and the only time tasted it / found
the meat exceedingly coarse and tough,
as we'll as permeated with nauseous
taste and smell of train OIL The tongue,
however, is said to be much better, but
it never has come under my observation.
Whales milk is by no means to be de-
spised.
Shark, the full-grown fish, is detest-
able-tough and Of terribly rank smell.
1t IS rarely eaten by white men except
under pressure of extreme necessity; but
the natives of the South Seas view it In
different light, and look upon the
monster as special luxury. Moreover, a
New Zealand Maori knows no greater
treat than a shark that has been kent
until high enough to be unapproachable
within twenty yards of any one but
native. But with young shark of
brown variety the case is different, and
I well remember, during a five months
residence at Opara, having many good
meal of fried outlets cut from young
sharks about four feet long; and at last
we came to look upon it as the best there.
In taste and appearance it reminds one
more Of sturgeon than anything else.
1t likewise resembled the latter fish in
having gristle instead of bones, and was
much superior both in frmness and
favor to the British dog-fsh, which I
afterwards tried.

A Herder's Lot.
ICorr, New York Times,1

There is an impression prevalent
among Americans who are not engaged
In sheep-growing that herder's wages
are easily earned, that his life is a per-
.fectlY lazy one, If not altogether idle.
That impression is far from correct.
When there is abundance of grass and
water In convenient proximity to each
other, the herder is at his ease. The
sheep Craze in the morning and toward
5Tening, and the herder must then guide
and guard them, but during the summer
the flock 70 at rest for large part of the
day, and the herders can hunt the shadi-
esq place attainable, sleep, smoke, or
Kill time as best they may. Grass being
scarce and sheep hungry, and in cold
and stormy weather the herder's work is
constant and harrassing. The sheep are
on the move throughout the day, always
going where they are not wanted to go,
climbing hills, breaking up into detach-
ments,. some tagging behind, while
others run far ahead. Than the herder's
legs-are in motion from daylight to dark
ness In vain he hurls his strongest
epithets against his apparently tireless
charge. In one direction or the other
the sheep are bent on travelling, and the
herder must travel with them, be his
feet never so weary. At night, too, IN
the flock is secured IN a corral, which is
seldom done in New Mexico, the sheep
require much watching. During the
long winter nights they become hungry,
and are apt to wander off the bed ground
unless checked. The night watching is
supposed to be done by the ''major-
domo," and very trying and difficult
work it often is Of a winter night in the
thick of a whIrling snow-storm. 1t
happens frequently, sometimes through
carelessness and sometimes despite the
hardsmen's best endeavors, that a flock
will ~split " during storm and many
of the sheep be lost. These must be
hunted up as speedily as possible, lest
She coyotes should kill some and scatter
the others. The major-domo should
be able to tell, after very brief inspec-
tion, whether any considerable part of
his flock is missing. By the unaccus-
toned eye the loss of 200 or 800 head
out of flock of l,500 or 1900 would
never be noticed, but in every herd there
are number of sheep with distinguish
ing marks of color or shape, and the al
sence of one or more of these " known -
sheep indicates that there has been. q
cutoff from the herd. Some of the
Mexicans have really surprising ac-
Guaintance with the individual members
Of their floeks, and are very ready at OBJ
serving the loss of ''known " sheep.

tFrom the Youths Companion ]

[From the Youths CompanionJ
The guides through the great wilder
nesses of the Southern hileghanies have
much to say of what they call the
"wOods craze" The most expert hun
ter, they declare, is liable to become sud
denly bewildered in the interminable
forests, and once having lost his reckon
ing, is seized with kind of frenzy.
Mr.. Henry Forde records the same
fact in It's relation to travellers through
the mountains Of West Virginia. "The
most experienced wOodsmen," he writes.
care subject to these injuries: the argu-
ments of companions; the position of the
sun; observations of known landmarks,
fail to convince them of their where
as well aAtn body" ~
Old wcodsmen usually recover in
short time, but men unused to vast
wildernesses have been known in their
madness to fly at sight of the parties
sent to rescue them, and to bury them
selves In the thickets, where they starve
to death.
Catlin was told by the Indians that a
man lost on the prairie invariably travels
In circle, moving to the left. An old
hunter who lived nearly a century ago in
West Virginia, and left an autobiography
behind him, full of adventure and keen
observations, tells us Of a madness which
seizes the hunter after long pursuit of
his prey, and which he calls the " deer
fever"
Il have gone for two days and nights
through the deep snow, stripped to my
hunting shirt, and absolutely without
food" he says, land felt neither cold
nor hunger. l was burning inwardly,
and as everybody knows, man never
cares to eat when fever is upon him,
and is stronger then than any other
time"
These random facts are worth noting,
as they really index important truths in
the science of the mind and it's ailments.
The rancheros in New Mexico, and
the cowboys of Arizona, have some
curious traditions and customs, which
are founded upon natural laws that: are
but little understood. One of these, is
their belief that isolated cattle can and
do find their way to their birthplace
across the plains, if released after a
journey of hundreds of miles upon a
railroad train.
This ie after all no more singular than
the coming back of fish to spawn in their
native waters, phenomenon which 90
ours every year. They return even as
far as from the Gulf of Mexico, to some
obscure little stream In Kentucky.

SINGING IN THE DARK.

On my life, too darkly Swallowed,
Once there flashed a vision bright
Now the image sweet has faded;
am wrapt in utter night.
Little children, left in darkness,
Feel their hearts With dread oppressed,
And their childish fear to Danish,
Sing they loud in strange unrest.

While grace, in streams for thisting souls,
Even so, bereft of light;
Though my song be harsh, is frees me

He Goes It Alone.

The funeral obsequies, to use the vernacu
lar of the swell society toady, Of the late Ed
ward Morrison, took place from the store Of
Mccarthy & Donnelly yesterday afternoon
At this point, however, the occupation of the
dealer In vanished phrases. In this connection
must end, for there was an absence of those
affecting incidents that form such interesting
reading In the average accounts Of the conven
tional funeral. In this instance there was nc
lingering over the rich and costly casket, nc
last looks or final leave taking, no Wanting
from ministerial lips Of the virtues OF the dear
departed, no anthems by a picked choir, nc
rare exotics or lavish display Of Grape or other
habiliments Of woe, and, as the cynical dame
Mrs. Harris would say, there was no occasion
for any OF 1t.
In prison cell alone and uncared for because
he was a sick tramp sent up for thirty days
for being sick, there was a good worm proof
boz and quick screwing down of the lids,
for there is nothing lovely, taking the under
takers word for it. about tramp who has
been dead for three days. There was this and
the rafting over the stones and quiet inter-
ment in the potter's field, with the undertaken
az the chief mourner.
OF course there was no inquest. Coroner
Davenport inquired into the matter yesterday,
and as death is supposed to have resulted from
natural causes, it was decided that an inquest
was not necessary. The whole business looks
sad, and after all it is perhaps as well that the
case was not brought up to be whltewashed,
as no doubt 1t would have been. Let us have
peace, by all means; this world and then
most anything.
