How Whales are Killed.
TFrom the Boston Herald. |

From the Boston Herald.
The present system is an improve
ment on the old style of killing with
harpoon and lances. 1t is more GER
tain and less dangerous. The steam
er runs up close, and, with a heavy
gun, a bomb inches long by / : inches
in diameter, charged with dynamite,
is fired into the whale near the dorsal
fin. The bomb has a time fuse, and
explodes, producing almost instant
death. 1t is related as an curl
Gus fact that after the whale has
plunged downward far into the green
water the dull, muf1led explosion may
be heard in calm weather. If the
passages through which the air is ex-
hailed are destroyed, the fish, it is
claimed by it's hunters, will rise i'm
mediately to the surface; if not, and
the air is exhaled, he sinks to the bot
tom and remains there, as does q
human body, until the formation of
the gases brings him to the surface.
In warm weather he is expected to
rise in four days, in the cold water of
winter it may be ten days or more be-
fore he comes to the surface. Mean
time the steamer does not wait for
him. She is off in pursuit Of fresh
game, and aims to return about the
time he is due above water. When re-
covered, marks on the bomb suffice
for Identification, if there are oppos-
ing claims Of ownership. It is an I'M
written law that any coasting vessel
finding a dead whale adrift land they.
often drift many miles from where
they are shot) shall moor him, and
notify the first whaling steamer that
is met, or the nearest whaling station.
For this serviceit is usual to pay $25,
so that the small coasters plying up
and down the New England coast have
an incentive to keep sharp lookout.
On notice, the steamer promptly
heads for the whale and tows him
to the oil-works, often long and
hard pull in rough water with a great
seventy-foot hulk dragging like so
much dead weight astern. But many
a whale supposed to have received his
quietus at the hands of these dyna-
miters of the seas is never heard from
again. He may be driven by gales far
to sea, out Of the track of coasting
vessels. Or the bomb may not have
touched q vital part, and beyond the
sensation Of having a pretty sharp
twinge in some part Of his system, the
whale is none the worse for it. Usual.
~ one Or two bombs are fatal. But
one tough old whale took an allo-
pathic dose Of eight this season, with
no more effect upon him than so many
bread pills. This is expensive for the
dynamiters, when bombs are costing
So each.

A Jamaica Trick.
From the Detroit Free Press,


There was a large crowd of excur-
sionisUs in the depot at Savannah, and
this made considerable bother for the
people going out on the evening train.
There was a pale-facad, slim-waisted
young man, weighing about 1O5
pounds, who paid q colored man a
quarter to get some baggage checked.
The man didn't appreciate the situa-
ton, and took his time for it. Indeed,
the young man hunted him up to dis
cover that he was gossiping with some
of his color, and that the baggage was
still uncared for. He spoke his mind
pretty freely and was promptly
"sassed'' IN return. Just what led to
the climax [ didn't see nor hear, but
all of a sudden the burly colored man
drew razor from his pocket and
started for the lightweight with the
remark that he'd make bloody carpet
rags of him.
1t would have been a good time for
the young man to pull revolver, but
he made no motion. In such crowd
no one knew exactly what was happen
ing and so the rush of the negro was
not stayed. He took two skips and a

Cure for SIeeplessness.

A simple cure of sleeplessness has
been advised by a Partisan physician
for an American travelling through Eu-
rope who suffered from wakeful nights.
The remedy was complete cessation OF
mental exertion in the evening, and
the formation of habit of retiring at
the same time each evening. No letter
writing, no reading of excitable books
were allowed, and the mind was placed
IN as passive state as possible. The
American, who had been q victim OF
sleeplessness for years, returned home

He had watched all day, he would write all night

A Campaign Secret Given AWAY.

In the campaign of 1884 the two candi-
dates Tor Governor in a 'pivotal' Western
State arranged for a series OF Joint discus
slons. Both men were popular, both OF
me appearance, and were SO well matched
IN mental force and as orators that the
contest between them promised to be a
magnificent one. For several weeks the
scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican can
dldate came up aiing. He seemed over
come, and spoke laboredly. The next day
he was even less effective. Later he was
compelled to ask his opponent for post
ponement OF certain appointments, which
was granted. Before the campaign ended
he had abandoned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-
dnued his canvass, seeming to grow strong
er, cheerler, and more effective with each
succeeding week. He was elected. One
evening in December while entertaining sew
eral gentlemen he said:
Il VIII tell you a campaign secret--which
gave me the election. With the opening OF

1.-THE only act his guilt to cover,
To hide his shame from every eye,
To bring repentance to his lover,
A Family Rapidly Enlarged.


Many years ago there lived near Port
Robinson, Canada, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Bell. Mr.. Bell was a brother of the
father of Officer Hugh Bell, of the police
force of this city, and of the mother of
Can't. William Deyan, of the Life Saving
Service. When nature bestowed its first
gift in the way of children to the happy
couple twins were born, and the parents
were as much delighted as surprised.
Two or three years later twins came
again to bless the household, and the
happiness of the modest home was in
creased accordingly. The second occur
renee created some comment among the
friends of the family, but their reputation
did not become widespread until In the
course of time, a trio Of fat, heal
thy babies came rollicking into the
world. Then the Bells became
famous and throughout the Do
miniOn their praises were sung. The town
OF Port Robinson, the people in it, and
the citizens in many parts of Canada
made up purses or sent valuable presents
to the happy and prolific couple. In time
their fame spread to England and reached
the ears of the Queen. Her Majesty testi-
fed her appreciation of this rapid increase
in the number of her subjects by sending
substantial presents of money and
valuables. These numerous gifts placed
above want, and in their case at least
came wealth with their children. They
invested their money safely, and in
short time were quite wealthy, but Mr..
Bell did not live long to enjoy his good
fortune, dying before another increase in
the fsmily came. Mrs. Bell did
not wear her robes of mourning
long. She was an attractive lady,
had no lack Of admirers and suitors,
and in time listened to the wooings
of a Frenchman of good family, and again
assumed the ties Of wiiehood. The first
interesting domestic event which followed
this union was the birth Of four babies in
a bunch, well-developed, hearty young
sters, evenly divided as to sex. The
father did not long survive this unex-
pected and very extraordinary event, and
after his death the mother, with her in
teresting family, came TO the States, set
Ting in Philadelphia, and afterward re-
moving to Washington, D. c., where she
resided up TO the time Of her death, less
than two years ago. Her surviving child
rem remain in Washington, and all but
two have married. They are all thrifty,
Woodworking people, and credit to the
country Of which they have become cltl-
Zens.
