The following are measurements of
a sulphur-bottom whale, the largest

of jawbone, q feet; length Of longest
baleen, 4 feet; girth, 80 feet; weight
of baleen, 800 pounds; yield of oil,

(calculated), LAT tons. One 90 feet
long was taken at Monterey, CAL,
some years ago, and the capstan that
had rolled many large animals was
torn up, the falls gave way and the
body fell back. The sulphur-bottom
is found on the entire Pacific coast at
all times winter and summer, coming

Grapes.

Spirit of the Farm.
Why every land owner does not set
out grape vines in his garden or yard,
is something incomprehensible to us.
1t cannot be from laziness, because
the farmers work hard every year on
the farm to cultivate crops, and with
far less remuneration than he would
receive from the grapes. Nor yet can
it be from want of means to procure
vines, for any man, even the humblest
citizen can get for the asking as many
slips as he wants, and set them in a
fence corner and thus get the stock
for large or small vineyard. Then
what is it? Vines can be run on the
side of the dwellings, on porch, or
gallery, on an clubhouse, or even on
the yard fence. A handsome trellis
can be made in the yard, between the
house and gate, or on garden walk.
So it will be seen the grape occupies
less room, take less space than any
other fruit on the place. 1t shades
no ground, destroys no other crop,
save by its roots, and there is abso-
lutely no excuse for a failure to pro-
vide this delicious food for family.
1t is healthy, nutritious, and great
luxury as well. No fruit equals it in
consistency of bearing. There is sell
dom failure of crop, and in this res
pect it is superior to the other fruits,
which are subject to so many contin-
gencies.
We therefore recommend every
land owner to provide a vineyard
large or small. 1t makes a rented
place more eagerly sought after, so
when the owner rents it every year
it would pay him to set out vines.
Nor is the fruit the only advantage.
1t is an easy matter to provide wine
for family use when there is surplus
of fruit. Almost anyone with COM
mon intelligence can make a very
good wine, and in sickness it will be
found a very great advantage to say
nothing of its benefit to weary man
at nightfall, when he comes in worn
out with the heat and fatigue of a
summer days work.

Woman's Best Friend.

"A hair pin lisa wOman's best friend,
says the Buffalo Commercial. 1t fits
multiplicity of uses, and she is never
without one. If her hair is short you
can depend upon it that in a recess of
her purse or pocket of her reticule
you will find the hair pin. If she
buttons her shoe she uses her hair
pin, and who ever saw a woman but
ton her gloves with anything else :?
If her head itches does she scratch it
with her finger? Nonsense. She
whips out her hair pin and relieves
herself. Suppose a nickel has drop
ped between the bars of the wooden
foot CRATE in the street car. Does she
soil her fingers as a man would, and
then not get it? Certainly not. Out
comes the hair pin, and the coin is
lifted out without trouble. If her
shawl pin is lost, where so good a
substitute as the hair pin? If she
eats nut does she use a nut-pick /?
Most assuredly not. The hair pin
again. 1t is with hair pin that she
rips open the uncut leaves of book
or magazine; it is hair pin with
which she marks her progress in her
favOrite book; if her trunk key is
missing hair pin opens the refracto-
ry lock as neatly as burglars skele-
ton key would; with it she cleanses
her finger nails and, if it is a clean
one, even picks her teeth.

The Girl That Everybody Likes.

Eli Perkins.
Girls, you needn't be beautiful to
become general favorites. Theplain-
est girl l ever saw was the favorite
in my native town. Everybody liked
her. Beautiful? Oh, no, she is not
beautiful--that is outside, but inside
she is an angel. Nobody thinks of
calling her beautiful. Not one of a
dozen can tell whether her eyes are
black or blue. If you should ask
them to describe her, they would
only say, "She is just right" and
there it would end, She is merry
hearted, fun-loving, bewitchingmaid-
ed, withouta spark of envy or malice
in her whole composition. She en-
joys herself, and wants everybody
else to dothe same. She has always
a kind word and a pleasant smile for
the Oldest man or woman; in fact, l
think of nothing she resembles more
than sunbeam, which brightens
everything it comes in contact with.
All pay her marked attention, from
rich Mr.. Watts, who lives in a man.
sion on the hill, to negro Sam, the
sweep. All look after her with adj
miring eye and say to themselves:
"She is just the right sort of a girl"
The young men of the town vie with
each other as to who shall show her
the most attention, but she never en-
courages them beyond being simple,
kind and jolly, so no one can call her
tiirt. No, indeed, the young men
all deny such an assertion as quickly
as she!
edo girls love her, too?" / asked.
eyes, wonderful to relate, girls like
her, too; for she never delights in
hurting their feelings or saying spite
full things behind their backs. She
is always willing to join them in
their plans and assist them in any
way. They go to her with love af-
fairs, and she manages adroitly to
see Willie or Peter and drop a good
word for Ida or Jennie, until their
difficulties are all patched up and
everything goes on smoothly again,
thanks to her. Old ladies say, she is
delightful The sly witch, she knows
how to manage them. She listens
patiently to complaints Of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia, and then sympa-
thiZes with them so heartily that they
are more than half cured. But she

eyes. A young man comes from a
neighboring town after time and
marries her. The villagers crowd
around to tell him what prize he
has won, but he seems to know it
pretty well without any telling, to
judge from his face. So she leaves
us, and it is not long before we hear
from that place. She is there the
woman everybody likes.

Tricycles in Washington.

The latest feature of Washington
life is the adoption of the tricycle. by
ladies. The broad, smooth pave
ments of the city render travelling by
bicycle or tricycle. both a convenience
and luxury. The use of these ma
chimes has long been popular for news
gathering purposes, and number of
"wheels" may be seen, at any hour
of the day or night, about the doors
of the various newspaper offices. The
telegraph companies were early in
recognizing the advantage of the sys-
tenn from business standpoint, and
furnished their messengers with BIZ
cycles. The fact that the appearance
of a lady upon tricycle. would be
likely to attract notice, and cause
more or less comment, has until re-
Gently prevented their general adop-
ton by the ladies. A number of tri-
cycle clubs have, however, been
formed among the ladies during the
past few months, and during the
course of a walk through the streets
upon moonlight evening, one con-
stantly meets these tricycle. riders.
The popularity of the tricycle. is in
fact increasing daily, and if one may
judge from the enthusiasm evinced by
the ladies who are members of the
clubs, it is safe to predict that the
machine" will soon achieve an even
greater popularity among the ladies
than it has heretofore among the gen.
tlemen.

The Man Who Laughs.

The man whose ha-ha! reaches
from one end of the street to the other
may be the same fellow who scolded
his wife and the baby before he got
his breakfast, but his laughter is only
the crackle of thorns under the pot.
The man who spreads his laughter
through his life, before a late break
fast, when he misses the train, when
his wife goes visiting and he has to
eat cold supper; the man who can
laugh when he finds button off his
shirt, when the furnace fire goes out
in the night and both of the twins
come down with the measles at the
same time, he's the fellow to have
faith; somehow he puts faith into
him. He delivers no homilies; the
sight of his beaming face, the sound
Of his happy voice and the sight Of
his blessed daily life carry conviction
that words have no power to give.
The blues flee before him as the fog
before the West wind; he comes into
his own home like flood of sunshine
over meadow of blooming butter
cups and his wife and children bios
som in his presence like June roses.
His home is redolent with sympathy
and love. The neighborhood is bet
ter for his life and somebody will
learn of him that laughter is better
than tears. The world needs this
man: why are there so few of them?
Can he be created? can he beevolved?
Why is he not in every house, turn
ing rain into sunshine and winter
into summer all around the year, I'M
til life is a perpetual season of JOY?
