We often hear from some old seafaring
friend an expression of wonder amount
ing almost to incredulity, as he meets
with an item something like this in ono
Of the New Bedford papers: ''We hear
of sales of 5000 pounds Of Arctic
whalebone for export at &3. 10 a pound.
His memory goes back 70 the time when
he himself used TO bring home cargoes of
whale oil and bone from the Southern
banks, or the Tristan and Crozette
grounds, getting very small price for
the oil, and as for his share Of the whale
bone he thought himself pretty fortu-
nate il he got the odd ten cents on the
pound for IL, let alone the 3d. He is
thinking of the time and labor he has
spent in securing so many tons Of stuff
which hardly paid for the handling
when it was finally brought to market,
and of the exceptionally big catch 10
the Lively Sally, which would have
made him almost million
aire il the present price current had ruled
In his younger days. We can well re-
member the time when a large proper
tion of our whalers were fitted expressly
in pursuit Of the sperm whale, and when
the owners and officers of such ships
held all whalebone whales in contempt,
as hardly worth wasting their time upon.
Those who went on right whaling voy
ages brought home the bone too, for it
was worth something and served to exc
ont the earnings, enabling them to esti-
mate the proceeds Of the whole catch at
a rate few cents higher on gallon. 1t
was regarded as q kind of subordinate
attachment to the oil, like the straw to
the wheat, or the slower to the corn crop,
but who in those days could ever have
supposed that the commercial value Of
the two commodities would be revolu-
tionized9 For the expensive and dan
gcrons venture now being made into the
arctic regions BY 3 comparatively few
ships each summer might well be called
q voyage for bone and oil rather than
for oil and bone. ~ Nantucket (Nass.) I'm.

A WelI.TOld Fish Story.

This little village (Greensburg, N. ].
is excited just now over Billy Benson's
trained eel. Billy Is the sixteen year-old
son of Farmer Benson, who has q g0odly
number of acres right along the banks Of
the Delaware. He has been famous eel
catcher for several years. Old Assembly
man Wildrick, upin Warren county, who
had an eel dinner given him by his fell
low members of the house last year,
hasn't an eel, nor can he tell of one that
equals the Benson eel. Billy is young
naturalist as we'll as an angler. He made
up his mind some months ago that an eel
could be trained. Accordingly, he spared
the life Of the first one that he caught.
He took it home and put it in box With
glass cover over it.
After the reptile became quiet Billy
fed it from his own hand. Gradually
the eel took liking to the boy. It
would wind around the lads arm and
rub its head gently over his sleeve. Then
it got so it would conc out of the box
and coil itself at Billy's feet and 90 to
sleep. It made no effort to escape. Tn N
it learned to follow the boy around.
First it followed him around the room.
Then it glided upstairs after him, and
early in the spnng took to sleeping oD
the pillow beside him.
Billy became as fond Of the eel as the
latter was fond of Billy. The boy
named the reptile Faithful. In short
time the eel knew it's name. Il will
awaken when Billy calls it and start
after him. So thoroughly educated has
it become that it goes all over the farm
with the boy. The rapidity with which
it can move is remarkable. It keeps
right along side of Billy when he walks
at q quick pace. But the funniest thing
the eel does is to 20 fishing with Billy.
1t will lie on log or in little pool of
water and watch the lad haul in any
number of other cells and kill them. 1t
never makes any attempt to get into the
river. 1t is, moreover, cannibalistic
eel aud is very fond of small portions Of
eels meat, which Billy cuts up with his
jack knife. The neighbors 60 daily to
the Benson farm and watch the reptile.
Many Of them wonder how the eel man
aged to live out of water. but Billy says
natural history is full Of instances. There
is plenty of water. however, in Faith
fu!'s box, so that he is in his native ele-
ment most of the time. Philadelphia

An old man must clothe warmly. AT
ter the ace of sixty, any idea of hardi-
hood and Of facing weather must be laid
aside, neither the skin nor the lungs bear
cold. Cold is, in fact, the great enemy
OF old people, and it is fact that, il a
man OF sixty or siNty-iive goes to
warmer climate than that TO which he
has been accustomed, his life is pro-
lonred. Warm flannel clothes should be
worn next the skin day and night, and
there should be plenty of winter gar
ments. If there is the least tendency to
asthma or attacks of bronchitis, two or
three folds Of a silk or wooden handker-
chief should be worn over the mouth,
and il the weather be very cold, over the
nose also. Rooms also must be kept
warm, for the animal heat in the man
past seventy is often deficient, and in
very old people even drinks should be
taken warm, as thesourccs of animal heat
are being dried up Old people will
often like rooms kept ut temperature
of seventy degrees or higher, when
Younger people are half stiiled in them.

Medical Record number Of cases in
which acute articular rheumatism was
cured BY fasting. usually from four to

10 fast more than ten days. Less positive
results were obtained in cases of chronic

TO drink freely of cold water, or lemon

fercd. No medicines were given. DR..
Wood saws that from the quick and
almost invariably good results obtained
BY simple abstinence from food in more

after all, only phase of indigestion, to
be cured by giving complete and con.
