Intelligence of Whales,

Whales arc very human and very knowing,
t o. have seen those gigantic whale moth
ers sporting with their calves and rolling in
clumsy play with them within pistol shot Of
the schooner. A whale has some senses finer
than ours. They seem to have some sort of
electric communication between them,
though far apart. AT times, if ono whale,
though half n mile from his companions, is
struck, the rest seem instantly to know it,
and dash nadly Off A whale in swimming
leaves slight ooze or streak Of oil behind OH
tho waters surface The whalers call it tho
"slick." Now, this "slicl" does afford some
sort OF communication to the whale when it
is touched by any foreign substance, and the
whalcmen i'll their boats will avoid crossing
it when they sec it, for it seems as if it con-
veyed warning to n whalo they are desirous
of approaching.
The "calf' sometimes Jagged few yards
behind the "cow" while our boats werc in
chase, and if by accident our boat header put
his iron into that calf tho mother instantly
knew it, and then, and not till then, would
she turn furiously on the boat When she
was reused man was no match ut all for
for her. For wounding her calf "cow'
chased onc of our boats ashore, and for an
hour she lay con and off," block4ding their
port of safety and waiting for them to put
off, that she might have another whacl: at
them. They did not put off until She had
gone.-Prcntico Milford i'll New York Star.

The Prince Of Wales, n child of about or 6

like other boys of that age, being of de

manner that threatened to detnch it.

Wouldn't Ec Out,louc.

Another story which Gen. Sheridan was
fond Of telling ut tho dinner table, after the
coffee had been served and the ladies had re-
tired, went somewhat like this, l am told:
There was Jealous chaplain of the Army
of the Potomac, who had called on a colonel,
noted for bis profanity, to talk Of Tie re.is-
ious interests Of his men. After having been
politely mctioned to a seat on the chest, tho
chaplain began:
"Coloncl, you have one of the finest rcgi-
mcnts in the army"
81 believe SO" said the colonel i'll reply.
"Do you think" pursued the chaplain,
'that you pay sufficient attention to the re-
ligious instruction of your men!'
"Wcil, don't know" doubtfully replied
tho colonel.
"a lively interest has been awakened in
the - Massachusetts," the parson welt Oh
to say. "The Lord has blessed the abors of
his servants, and ten have already been bap-
tized."

Deepest Coal Mine in tho World.

Tho Hasard collcry was opened in 1S4o by
nj. d'Andrimont The area of its concession
is 4,l7o acres Tho collcry employs 06l
workmen underground nnd 273 at the sur
lace. Its output in 1856 was 232T42 tons.
Tho seams worked vary from 9 feet to 4 feet
inch i'll thickness and tho coal is of a semi
bltumnous character. A notable feature in
the working of the mno is the use of tho
flom and d'Andrmont cxcuvator, an IN
genlous contrivanco for increasing tho useful
effect OF blasting. The SHOT hole is drilled in
tho ordinary manner and the cxcavator is in.
troduccd, which hollows out u space at tho
back OF tho holo much greater than the di-
amcter OF tho hole. This enlarged powder
chamber is found to greatly increase the use
ful effect OF blasting and also the proportion
OF round coal. 1t is used in six seams in tho
colllcry, aud has also been adopted at Lens,
Franco. Tho coas are not brought to tho
surface Of tho shafts, but only to tho level of
4uO feet, whence an endless chain road, two
miles long, extends to Bay Bonnet
The Saint Andre du Poiricr mine claims to
be the deepest coal mine in the world. 1t
has royalty of SCI acres, and yearly pro-
duction of 100000 to 100000 tons There are
two coal drawing shafts, the one 9, ,953 feet
deep, tho other 3,DS;' feet deep Tho first
shaft is being dccpcnei to 3, ,l49 feet Each
OF the pits is ventilated by II Guibul fan work
ing i'll second shaft. A remarkable feature
Ill tho working at these mines is the coinpara-
lively low temperature experienced. The
maximum temperature is Is dcgs Fahr, and
it is very often considerably lower; the air

tends to show that elevation of temperature

EXERCISES FOR TIE LUNGS

Here are n few movements:
Take strong, full breath, as nearly right
us may be, through the rostrils, hold a
second, and expel the same way. Repeat
several times
Now, inhale strongly, hold, then, making u
small aperture with the lips, as though YOU
were going to whistle, blowit out vigorously.
inhaling again the second it is out. Repeat
several times, and you will probably find, by
the time you have taken the third or fourth
breath, you are breathing properly; the lower
part of the chest will move normally at first,
while the upper chest will move later with
out thought on your part.
Next, take a strong breath, and hold it
while you count twenty, then gradually in
crease the count to forty or fifty. Do not
repeat this more than twice
Again, take a full breath and exhaust very
slowly Then initiate as slowly as possible.
Count while You are at work, thus diverting
your mind and giving you an opportunity of
testing your gain. After working Oh your
back long enough to know you are working
in the right way, try the same movements
slowly over the head.
WhsQ the blood is circulating freely by
this process, rise vigorously on the toes
twenty or thirty times, increasing as you
can; then lift the toes strongly, keeping tho
heels firmly down; then stoop very low sep
arating the heels, throwing the knees we'll
apart and out and keeping the back as
straight as possible. This will keep up the
circulation and develop the legs.-Aary E.

Plenty of Pure Air-A Few Exercises

Some of our readers who may be far re-
moved from any opportunity of gymnastio
work in regular gymnasiums may feel that
there is little use i'll their trying to undertake
such work, however much they may need
physical development. But they are mis-
taken. If one really is in earnest, much can
be done 1t may be something like taking
medicine, for certainly there is less fun in
home exercise than in the gymnasium, but it
VIII soon become interesting and enjoyable.
One OF the first and most important things
tor any one to do is to put into your lungs,
several times day, as large an amount of
pure ar as possible. On this depends so
much the absolute oxygenizing of the blood,
"nicn carries nutrlment to every part of tho
body. The amount of impure air which
people arc willing to take into their lungs is
perfectly marvellous. Half a dozen people

An earthquake always begins with small
vibrations, according to Professor j. a.

stands out remarkably abrupt from the rest.
The motion is scarcely 'shock" at all, but
