a Whale Factory In KnOc County

Steamer Hurricane, which was
fitted out for whaling cruise short
time ago, has already caught and
landed one large whale, and has two
more buoyed. The animals are kill
ed with bombs, shot into them from
a gun on the steamer, and explod-
ing among their eternal apparatus
in q manner that makes short work
of them. When struck and killed, a
whale sinks, but rises after about
nine days, when it can be secured.
The shot that carries the bomb also
fastens q lance into the animal, to
which is attached a long line with a
buoy at the other end. When the
whale has sunk he can be located by
the buoy. The hurricane towed its
whale to Green's island, where
Gen. Tilson has works for extracting
the oil from the blubber. His fact
DRY there is 40 by 25 feet. The blub-
bier is tried out in boilers 8 feet
wide, heated by steam, furnished by
a large stationary engine. Gen. Til
son intends to erect another build
ing soon. This whale is expected to
yield about $4OO worth of oil. A
gang of men is now engaged in try
ing out the blubber. There is no
difficulty in finding the island. The
smell of whale is peculiar and far
reaching, and one gets the odor afar
off and has only to follow his nose to
reach the place.-Cor. Rockldnd

WOODEN SHIPs.-"There is a great
hue and cry that wooden ships are
going to be done away WITH" said
an old Bath shipmaster, "yet l see
they are running the rating up on
them. Why is thatF Because they
carry freight better, not being so
susceptible to change of tempera-
ture. Iron ships are not so thick as
wooden. Three-fourths of an inch is
all the thickness there is in some
places between water and cargo.
Iron Is a conductor of heat and cold,
wood is a non conductor. There it
is, In going through Arctic waters,
frost goes through vessel the same
as frost goes through a cellar. 1t
doesn't take great while to run
from the Arctic to the Gulf stream
forty eight hours does it; then comes
dampness and sweating of the cargo.
If an iron ship strikes anything she's
gone. If they rub down they go.
An English brig was brought in here
for repairs. She met with disaster
Oh the Maine coast. She was carry
ing de lis. She had long iron knees
every other beam, thus giving more
room. Not single wooden knee
was broken, but every iron one
was."-IndWstrial Journal.

ture at Springfield, ILL.,, Tuesday,
there was great jam both on the
floor of the House and in the CALLER
les. There were present 81 Senators
and 1853 Representatives. When
the vote was taken a dead silence
prevailed. The Democrats refused
to vote. Republican Senators all
voted for Logan, giving him 26 votes.
Rugers vote was received with
cheers. When Settig was called he
made long speech, explaining his
position. He voted for Logan under
protest and the announcement was
received with the widest cheers.
This gave Logan 1O3 votes. On a
call of the absentees the Democrats
voted solidly for Judge Lambert
Tree.
After the roll call Messrs. Baker,
McNary, McCalleny. Caldwell, Irwin
and Crofts changed their votes to
Charles B. Farwell. Barry, Demo
crat, changed his vote to John A.
Logan and the widest confusion pre-
vailed.

got some Republican votes, Barry
withdrew his vote from Logan, but
stated he would allow any other Re
publican than Logan to be elected.

nniiARs APPEALS TO ALL TIE
COURTS WHICH WILL ENRICH

QUEBEC, May l6-ln the year
1888 IL wealthy member OF the Iluu,
son Bay company named Alexander
Fraser, then living in the Canadian
northwest, took rs his wife dark
eyed Indian girl. Angellque Meau'
ows. of whom he he had become ell
.mored Notwithstanding the TACT
that this union was never sanctlohca
by any legal or religious ceremony,
if constituted i'll the territory III
winch it occurred at that period a
legitimate marriage, and was so rec
oenized by the tribe to which the
dusky Angelique belonged. Wheh'
after the lapse of many years, Alex
ander Fraser was gathered to his
fathers, he left behind him an enor'
nous sum of money, together WIN
the valuable seigniories OF Iemls-
conata, Madawaska, River du Loup,
and the "Six Thousand Acres"
Welding thousands of dollars annual
iy in rents. Fraser made a will III
1888, bequeathing some few partlc-
ular legacies, but instituting no uni
yersal legatee. After his death in
1888, Mr.. J. b. Bouliot, of River du
Loup, was appointed curator to his
vacant estate. Being called to ac-
count for his administration OF the
estate and sued by William Fraser,
of River du Loup, who claimed to be
legal heir of the deceased, Mr.
Bouliot replied that he was ready to
render an account, but that the late
Alexander Fraser, having no unlver
sal legatee and no known heir, he
did not know to whom he had tC
pay.
Mr.. Thomas Jones INTERVIEWED III
the case by an opposition, which de-
MED that William Fraser had any
right to any part of the succession,
and claiming to the same himself,
on the ground that his mother, Mar
guerite Fraser, was daughter OF AL
exander Fraser, and issue of his So
called marriage with Angelique
Meadows. The validity of the union
was attacked by William Fraser
while Jones' case rested upon the
pretension that the children of the
Indian marriage was legitimate
Judge Carrow, presiding in the sr,
perior court, having given judgment
in favor of the pretensions OF cues
and declaring the Indian marriage
valid, the case was taken to the
court of appeals, which reversed the
decision of the court below. Jones
has instructed his attorneys to APP
peal from this last judgment to the
English privy council, which he ex-
poets will decide that the marriage
of his grandmother, Angelique
Meadows, was valid and Legitimate.
The judges of the court of appeals
admitted that there was a strong
presumption of such marriage, but
no legal proof, although both par
ties to the supposed contract evil
IDENTITY acted in good faith through
out. The amount at stake is bellev'
ed to be $2,000,00O.

Are You Ready for Cholera ?

The family wastes are of three
sorts. l. Garbage-the kitchen sol
id refuse, including ashes. 2. Liq-
uid waste-kitchen Stops, washing
water, etc. 3. The wastes of the
human body. Leaving the wastes
to another time, we call attention to
the wastes of our bodies as the most
dangerous of all, and at the same
time the most readily disposed of.
Nothing can be more inadequate for
the purpose than the ordinary privy
vault. 1t is not only constant Of
fence, but a continuous source of
danger, it's contents often contami-
mating wells at the distance of hum
bred feet or more, and bringing
disease and death into the family.
Dangerous at all times, the privy
vault is especially to be dreaded in
time of cholera. There is but one
thing to be done with privy vault
abolish it , Do this at once before
hot weather. 1t is impossible to
mend, improve or make it tOlerable!
Fill it up and be done with it. The
substitute for the vault is the earth
closet. use it. If the small house
that has stood over the vault is more
convenient than any other place for
the earth closet, use it. Such build
ings are usually eye-sores, and the
filling up Of the vault removes all ex-
cuse for the unsightly presence. An
earth closet may be placed in any
convenient room; one may be par
titioned off in shed, in barn, or
other out-building, or the closet
may occupy small room in the
house without unpleasant results.
The material required is dry loan,
not sand, but good soil, the sitter
the better. Dry this earth thor
oughly, by spreading it on a plat
form Of boards in the sun. When
dust dry, pass it through sieve to
remove Jumps, stones, ETC., and store
in barrels or boxes, in dry place.
Where coal is burned, sifted ashes
will answer in place of dry earth,
but,wood ashes must not be used.
For the closet, self-acting ones, in
which the weight of the person lib
crates the dry earth from a hopper,
may be purchased if preferred. but
simple and inexpensive closet may
be made at small cost, that will an

Didn't Look s Veil as Some. "

They tell good story of a recent
horse trade in the near suburbs OF
Lewiston. One OF the parties was a
French Canadian and the other a To-
cal horse jockey whose forte was and
long had been, sharp bargains. The
French Canadian had horse that
he wanted to swap and the horse
man was the first who appeared to
talk business with him. 1t is said
that of course this horse trade was
not smooth. 1t seemed at times to
be practically extinct and then the
chances for trade seemed first
class. Finally Peter the owner of
the horse, took his solemn affidavit
as follows: :.
"He ees is good horse and pull
we'll and good horse to go, but he
don't look as well as some horse do"
He repeated this several times in
the trade and then the bargain was
struck and the horse trader drove
away. A little way up the road the
horse stumbled. 1t was short road
then to discovery that the horse
was blind. In less than an hour
Feter was confronted by a mad
horse jockey. The words OF the
trade were repeated again.
Il said," reiterated Peter, shat
he was good horse, and pull we'll
and he ees good horse to go but
he don't look as we'll as SOme."
"But," was the reply, ''he is stone

reply. "He don't look so we'll as
some. That's what say to you
That ees what l mean. What you
call it, See 7 He don't see 90
