Major c. Is exceedingly fond Of
the game Of whist. On one occasion
he was speaking Of the way in which
adverse luck will sometimes pursue a
man, and remarked that he once play
ell a whole season at the White Sui
phur Springs and mover held a trump.
Some one in the company suggested
that that was impossible, because he
must have held at least one trump ev-
cry time he dealt the cards. But the
major replied, every time | dealt il
was a misdeal."
He illustrated the same idea in an
other way. lie said he was once in a
party when the proposition was made

He threw several times, and every
time the dice came out ace, deuce. He
wa, vexel, and threw them with all
his might against the wall Of the
room. When he went to pick them
up from the floor he was confronted
with the same one and two spots. He
went to the window and pitched them
as far as he could into the yard.
The next day he felt like trying his
luck again, and not having another
pair of dice. he went out into the
yard TO hunt them up. STOPPING
down and peering closely into the
grass, his eyes finally rested upon the
ace. lie was 30 mad that he made n
mental resolution that if the other
die was found with the deuce up he
would swallow them. lie found it at
last, and il was the deuce. lie swal.
lowed them both forthwith. Five
minutes later, he became dreadfully
alarmed at what might be the conse-
quences Of his rash act, and took n
strong emetic The dice were soon
deposited on the grass again. "And

THE TRADE IN WHALEBoNE.-
Nearly all the whalebone used in the
United States is received through San
Francisco, but nearly every pound re.
ceiyed there is shipped directly TO the
East, where it is put up into shape for
use. Whalebone is largely used in
the manufacture of whips. The catch
of late years has been comparatively
light. The receipts for the last three
years at San Francisco has averaged
less than $4,000 pounds. The quan.
tity which was reported in 1882 was
1896 pounds. A Boston paper
says the total catch of Arctic whale
bone in 1882 was only 24l 900 pounds
and that on the lst Of November, 50,
when this bone first came upon the
market, the supply Of carry-Over stock
in first hands was only $4,000 pounds.
The foreign demand has been quite
active this year, especially FROM En-
gland, where the consumption is much
larger than either France or Germa.

The scarcity and high price of black
walnut lumber should induce farmers
to cultivate this valuable tree; in a
few years after planting they will be
fit for market. Young men, especial
ly, should pay attention to the culture
of black walnut. There are always
places ON the farm where they can be
grown that are not occupied by other
products. They of course would not
be an immediate source of revenue,
but in few years they would grow
into a considerable sum of money with.
out any expense to the producer.
