Norwegian Table Manners.

Table manners are at low ebb in
Norway. Consistency does not seem to
be regarded as jewel. The same peo-
pie who bow so tremendously to each
other and express sympathy and interest
in the veriest tritles of life, and who
dance and glimace fully five minutes at
an open door before they can determine
which shall enter first, are exceedingly
ill-bred during meal time. Their knives
wander SO far down their Threats that
one must at least admire their courage,
though failing to appreciate its object.
In these feats they rival the professional
knife-swallowers of Bombay. They hold
their forks like pens. Even four-tined
fork is not considered too unwieldy to
use as a toothpick. All knives are put
promiscuously into the butter dish,
which, indeed, is never provided with a
separate implement. Also when spoons
are furnished for public dish Nor
wegian generally prefers using his own.
Eggs are sucked from the shell. The
people eat most voraciously, displaying
the appitites of tigers, and making dis
agreeable noises with their mouths.
They rise and reach across the table for
something you could readily pass them,
and sometimes a person gets up and
walks to the end of the table for some
particular dish he fancies. When the
plates are changed at the end of a course
the knives and forks are apt to be simply
wiped by the waiter upon towel in full
sight, and then complacently returned
to you. And yet it was the Scandina-
vians who won from Voltaire the praise
of being the "Frenchmen of the North, "
on account of Interpretations politeness.
Kind hearted and well-meaning, but
surely somewhat deluded old man.

A Fighting Whale.

Joseph w. Mead, of Poughkeepsie, n
Y, is now on board the bark Hercules
on whaling voyage. His ship was off
st. Helena. on the 2oth. of October, 1881,
from which place he sends an interest
ing letter to one of his relatives in
Poughkeepsie. From it we make the
following extracts: "On the 9th of June
last we raise whales and got them all in
favorable positions, when we lowered
our boats and in a short time
our second mate struck one. In
few minutes after the whale caught
the boat about in the quarter and com
pletely chewed it up. Mr.. Luce, the
chief mate, when he, saw our signal from
the ship. sent boat. and had the crew
picked up, took the line and still had the
whale fast. The third mate also came
up and went on the whale three times.
The fourth time the whale caught and
mashed his boat into firewood, The
steerer was killed, but the rest of the
crew were saved. In the meantime the
boats did not dare to getnear the wound
ed whale, but fired at it from distance
with guns. About this time we received
help from a, ship named Milton, which
sent two boats to the rescue, for we were
in very weak condition. Before you
could hardly think it possible, however,
the Milton's boats were both mashed and
their crews swimming in the water.
They were soon rescued by our boats.
The boats hung about the whale until
dark, when we cut'the line and let the
huge monster go. The next morning,
howeyer,-we saw him again and took
hold of him, and about live o'clock in
the afternoon we succeeded in Dispatch
ing him. 1t was the largest whale taken
in this section for many years and made
$50 barrels of OIL Its length was sixty
feet and jaws nineteen feet.''-Pough-
