Peter Warner, an experienced sports
man, armed with Winchester rifle and a
shotgun, accompanied by veteran fisher:
man, says the LES Angeles Times, started
in small boat in pursuit OF the game
which fre1uents the lagoon. They had not
been out long before two bottled.nosed
whales were discovered close by. Ashot from
Mr.. Warmers rifle wounded one OF them,
when they made furious attempt ia
reach the boat. Two more shots were fred
when one Of the monsters was Killed. The
other was then attacked, but, though
wounded, It seemed impossible to disable
il. Itmade the most furious attacks upon
them, and with distended jaws seemed al
times as Il about 10 engulf boat and all.
Twelve shots were fired into it, and still Il
continued its onslaught. II slsshed and
foamed, spreading heavy spray in all
directions, and nothing but the most
skillful management kept the boat
at safe distance from its fury. Finally
the cartridges III the rifle were exhausted,
and 1t was necessary to reload. While do
iHgthis the whale made sudden onslaught,
and 1t was necessary to use the shotgun.
Both wads were discharged into the face o.
the monster, and, fortunately, taking effect
in the eyes, blinded it. The whales efforts
were now futile, and It was an easy matter
to row safe distance, when the rifle was
reloaded, and the beast killed at leisure.

In speaking Of chronic diarrhea in stock
Professor L. B. Arnold says: at is best
cured by removing the cause, which must
be known in order TO be avoided. In
horses II may come from over-driving, over
feeding, or imperfect mastication from de-
iective teeth, or from eating too fast from
an unnatural and too greedy appetite. II
the friend who has trouble in this direc-
ton will carefully look over all the habits,
treatment and surroundings Of the animal,
he will be very likely to tlnd the cause him
self. In the meantime, let the exercise be
gentle, the food easy to digest, and, il pos
sible, in q shape to prevent swallowing too
hastily. Tonic stimulants are useful in all
such cases, as tincture Of spice, cloves, gin
ger or peppermint, given steadily in modera-
ton. Medication will be lees effective
than looking closely to feed and exercise. "

What are you reading? The ulti-
mate success of the teacher in any
high sense depends largely upon her
reading. She shows the effect of her
books hourly in the school-room, In
her converse with her committee, and
with all intelligent parents. A most
judicious committeeman recently said
to us, that he always knew the charac-
ter of the literature INDUCED in by the
teachers of this city without asking
them question relative thereto. The
tone and manner of their conversation
revealed it. A gentleman of culture
SAID recently that he could tell what
the teachers of his children read,
through his little folks, for the illustra.
tions and references of the teacher, as
reported at home, showed the charac-
ter of her literary habit of mind. One
teacher recently received fine offer,
by way of promotion, because of the
recommendation of a parent who was
delighted to find his child's mind
charged with the results of her reading
i'll history and science, imparting to
the child a love for such reading.
Every teacher should select some
course of good reading, sufficiently
varied to inspire her as a teacher and
scholar. 1t is of no use to plead lack
of time; there must be time for self
improvement, or the authorities Will
give more time than is desirable
american Teacher
