Strange times are coming in En-
glish politics. Democracy will play
fanastic tricks with that ancient Con-
stitution. But nothing that it will
effect will be more remarkable than
its apotheosis of the farm laborer.

Tho Tell and Muscles Of the Whale.

The power Of ibis tremendous pro-
pulsory apparatus is almost beyond
whale may be appreciated when the
reader reflects that the famous elephant
''Jumto" would have to be multiplied
many times before his weight would
equal that Of a largo whale. Yet tho
late Capt. Scott, Royal Navy, told mo
that when on the quarter deck of his
own ship he repeatedly saw the whales
leaping in mere play so high ont of the
water that the horizon was clearly Wis.,
ible under them. Now, Capt. Scott
lived 70 be nearly 100 years old. and
when he vas in active service tho quar-
ter deck Of a inan-of-war vas at least
50 feet above the water; add to this
measurement his own height. Che being
rather a tall man, and the reader can
then appreciate the terrific power Of the
animals tail. l may here Mention that
this habit of ~springing out Of the water
Is called preaching" by whalers. Be-
sides the great muscular apparatus
which has just been mentioned. the
whale possesses another muscle which
surrounds the body; j. as scientifically
and happily called the '.pannieuims
c0rncsas"- or ''ieshy rag"-and is de-
eeloped il various WAYS, according to
the animal. It is with this muscle that
the dog shakes his skin when he comes
out of The water. Tie hedgehog has it
very powerfully developed in order to
enable il 20 coli itself into The spiky ball
with which we are SO familiar. The
manis, armadillo. and echidna also pos
eess it and use it for a similar purpose.
Man has but very little of it. the chief
vestige being the muscles of the face,
which give to the human countenanco
its changing expressions. The whale
wants it for two purposes. He wants It
20 enable him to bend his body--a func-
ton easily observed in the dolpbins as
they curve their graceful course through
the sea; but chiefly ne needs it because
by contracting it nc can mako his body
heavier than q corresponding bulk Of
water. This De has nc difficulty in do.
ing, and when he wishes 20 seek tho
surface he las only to relax tie pres.
sure. when the body regains its original
size and becomes lighter than the pro-
portiouats bulk of water. BY means Of
this muscle the hippopotsmus, the ele-
pr Tart, snd the seal can sink themselves
below the surface and rise again with
out moving 3 limb. For want Of it msn
cannos perform this fest, anG the best
swimmer ia The world would not be
able to sink and rise again to the SUI.

He Couldn't Make 1t Ont.

The proprietor of a tannery having
erected a building on the main street
for the sale of his leather. the pur-
chase of hides, ETC.. began to consider
what kind of a sign would be the most
attractive. AT last what he thought a
happy idea struck him. He bored an
auger-hole through the door-post and
stuck a calf's tail into it, with the
bushy end Haunting out. After a
while he noticed a grave-looking per-
son standing near the door, with spec.
tacles on, gazing intently at the sign.
So long did he gaze that finally the
tanner stepped out and addressed the
individual.
Good morning!'
Morning" replied the man, with.
out moving his eyes from the sign.
You wantto buy leather?"-.No.n
"Want to sell hidesp"-"No.n
care you a farmerp"-"No."
"Are you a Observation-Disclosures"

calf got through that auger-hole, and
for the life of me, Ican't make it out!'

Daniel WehSter's Fees.

In view OF the protracted trial in our
Superior Court last week it is Of inter-
est to note the fees which Daniel Webs
ter received for his services. For
many years he kept a regular account
of his professional receipts, and for two
OF those years the accounts have been
published. In the first of the two,
when he was about 81 years Of age, his
receipts, emitting several small af-
f~airs,' amounted to S15,lS1. The
number of items, mostly against diff
ferent clients, was 1919. The largest
charge was 80 1000. There were "a
retainers in the years, amounting in
the aggregate to S1,31O. The largest
was a retainer in patent cases. of
$3.50; but most of the retainers were
of 800 and $50. The second published
accounts covered the years 1923
when Webster was 80 years old. The
amount of receipts for this year was
SS,212, but out of this is to oe deducted
1892 as Congressional pay" This
leaves for his professional receipts 81
22O. The largest fee this year was
$500. There were only AZ items, and
of these 18 were retainers, amounting
to 1880. One of them was 500 for
cdr Motifs patent causes" IA very
poor years work. says Webster.

Supreme Court all the last winter"

The Arabs Never Surrender.

AS at Teb and Tamai, the wounded
Arabs refused to be made prisoners.
and great caution had to be exercised
in moving ABOUT the field, not only to
avoid the covert stabs dealt bv the
bleeding Arabs, but the rushes and
cuts of the fanatics who slammed
death in order that they might the
more surely get chance of burylng
their weapons in one of us.
Exploring along this wadv a party
OF our NE came upon six dead and
four wounded Arabs lying under a
hushy dwarf mimosa tree. The SOL
diers had an interpreter with them,
and the Arabs were called upon to
surrender and come out. That they
said they could not do would the sol
diers therefore come and take them.
The four wounded men still held their
spears in there hands. VERY good"
said our soldiers. put down your
spears. and we will see you are well
treated, and do all we can to cure
your wounds
The answer of the four Arabs came
fierce and concise: Put down our
spears, intidel dogs! By God and the
prophet, never!!" There was a crack
of Martini-Henrys. You can guess
the rest. Ii was again, as at Teb and
Tamai. almost impossible to take
prisoners, and we secured but two of
their wounded alive.
The third prisoner l assisted to
bring in, but he was hardly a capture,
for the man gave himself up. He
had a Remington and over one hum
dred rounds of ammunition. His
story was that he had been one of the
Berber.Egyptian garrison, and since
the fall of that place he had been
forced into the Mahdi's army. He
was glad to escape from them, he de-
clared, and | must say the fellow
looked cheerful at being taken. A
trooper Of the Nineteenth conducted
him to General Stewart. He was our
n unwounded prisoner!-Loudon
