Imagine whales fencing with one
another for amusement.
1t seems as if such a thing could not
be; and yet there are whales Of a certain
species which not only fence with one
another but use their teeth Tor swords.
1t is the narwhal that fences. One of
the teeth of the male narwhal always
grows through the upper lip and stands
out like spear, straight in front of the
animal.
1t seems as if all the material that
should have gone to fill the narwahl's
mouth with teeth had gone to the one
tooth that grows out through the lip; for
sometimes this tooth is eight feet long
The animal itself, from head to tail, is
seldom more than sixteen feet in length
OF what use such an enormous tooth
is to the narwhal no one knows. Some
persons say it is used for spcaring fish :;
others, that its use is to stir up the mud
in the bottom of the ocean in order to
scare out the fish that may be hiding
there; and one man says the tooth is for
the purpose of breaking holes in the ice
in winter for the narwhal, like all
whales, is obliged to come to the surface
at intervals to breathe.
Whatever the tooth is intended to be
used for, it is certain that when the mar
whal wishes to play it finds another mar
whal of like mind, and away they
charge at each other til the long tooth
swords clash together.
They are active as well as frolicsome.
and sailors tell of seeing them crossing
swords in this way, thrusting and parry
ing, and rolling and darting about with
marvellous agility and grace.
The narvhal is light gray in color, and
covered with black spots. For a great
many reasons it is valued by the Green
landers. 1t furnishes very fine quality
of oil, its flesh is used for food. and its
skin, made into Jelly, and called mattak,
is considered a dainty too choice for
ordinary occasions.
This "swordsman of the deep" as l
have called HIM, is warm blooded ami
NAL, and must not be COMPOUNDED Sith
the saw-iish or sword fish, both of which
are entirely different from the narwhal. -

Killed His Child.

That there may be Il world of pathos
in the apparently prosaic life of a police
man is shown by the following incident,
related in the Chicago Herald.
Odd you ever shoot any one" The
speaker was a visitor at the armory, and
the person addressed was a patrolman
who looked up hurriedly and walked
away without an answer. "You see, {"
said another officer, in explanation, "he
had an experience once that he does not
like to think or talk about. lie used to
walk in the Twelfth street district when it
was called the terror district, and when
they had the murder bell there. When
ever there was n shooting or killing in
that precinct the bell was rung, so as to
notify all patrolmen that crime had
been committed, and make them more
vigilant, if possible, in their search for
desperate characters. One dark, rainy
night this officer obtained permission
from the roundsman to step over to his
home, few blocks away, to get his rub
Der coat, and while he was in the house
he looked into the room where his chill
dren were sleeping. Wishing to have
one revolver outside of his coat he took
off his belt and laid the weapon on bu.
reau. Just as he was about to strap it
on he noticed that the hammer was down,
and some way in trying to put it at half
cock the thing was discharged. A little
girl jumped up from the bed with a red
blotch upon her forehead, and crying,
"Oh, papa" fell flat on her face. At
that instant the murder bell rung, its
tones coming into the little house, deep,

Lepers in India.

Lepers are met with in every stage of
misery in India, says a writer in the Nine
teeah Century, They flock to the Dor
ders of The Gauges to end their hopeless
lives on 'holy ground" Pilgrims, they
crowd to Pooree to make prayers and
propritiatory offerings to the idol Loke-
nauth; and then, failing of their cure,
they continue to haunt the neighbor-
hood, and form fresh centres of vice as
vile ana detestable as the foul corrup-
ton that pollutes and makes havoc of
their bodies. Often herded by them
selves at night, they are scattered during
the day along the roadway and in the
bazars begging of the pitiful, and filling
with horror the unaccustomed stran ger

Heart Beats.

DIR. n. B. Richardson, of London, tho
noted physician, says he was recently able
to convey a considerable amount of con-
viction to an intelligent scholar by sim.
pie experiment. The scholar was sing
ing the praises of the ruddy bumper, and
saying he could get through the dav
without it, when DIR. Richardson said to
him:

"Iour pulse says seventy four"

him to count it again. He did so, and
said: "Your pulse has gone down to
seventy"
l then lay down on the lounge, and
said: "Will you take it again =
He replied: why, it's only sixty-four;
what an extraordinary thing!"
l then said: "Whcn you lie down at
night, that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon it up it is
great deal of rest, because in lying down

ounces of blood at every stroke, it makes
difference of 30, 900 ounces of lifting

"When lie down at night, without
any alcohol, that is the rest my heart

influence of alcohol is TO increase the

A prize fight came off at Hyndman,
Pennsylvania, near the Maryland State
line early Saturday, between a Hunga-
rian named Nick Vest, formerly OF st.
Louis port, and an unknown. alleged TO
be Kilrain, the Boston pugilist. The
fight was arranged short time ago. and
the party left Huntington, Pennsylva-
via. in coal cars, arriving at Hyndman
Saturday morning. During the trip
melee occurred on the train, in which
several persons were injured. Arriving
at Hyndman, the ring was pitched, and
the fight began. Fifty-three rounds
were fought, with the advantage about
even. when a cry Of Foul" was raised.
A terrible riot ensued, in which pistols
and knives were freely used. The riot
lasted some time, and at the conclusion
three men, including Nick Vest, were
stretched out on the ground dead, and
several others were badly wounded.
Nick Vest was shot through the head.
No arrests made.

Two hundred men were at work in the

they may have escaped with the rest
and gone away unperceived during the
excitement, which was intense. Some
