The Clergyman and the Bows.

In n Kansas town one of the churches
gave an ice cream and strawberry festi.
val. the price Of admission TO which was
a dime; but the dime covered the privi-
lege of a plate of ice cream in addition to
the admission. The idea in charging an
admission fee was TO exclude certain
boys who might possibly be rude, and
who were not likely 10 have money
enough in their pockets TO make them
large purchasers. Several boys hung
around the door begging for admission
without pay, but were refused. An
elderly clergyman who happened to see
the refusal quietly handed two Of the
bows a dime each. and told them to go in
and be happy. Presenting their dimes
at the door, the boys were surprised to
be refused again. T~hedoorkeeper gruflly
remarked: -G'way, boys, g'way; we
don't want no bows here" The elderly
clergyman, who is fond of q bit of quiet
fun, then collected all the boys he could
find in the immediate neighborhood OF
the church. They numbered seven In
all, including the " originals. Several
of them were barefoot, and none wore
full dress suits.
Being well known to the people Of the
church, the old clergyman thought lie
had a right to invite such guests as he
pleased 10 the festival. SO he marched
the boys in and paid their fare. The
doorkecper snarled as politely as he
could and said: 1--WE don't admit boys,
sir" Said the clergyman: These boys
are my guests; you will admit them if
you admit me- The whole party passed
in. Then the clergyman saw the boys
seated at a table and supplied with ice
cream. In order not 10 emltarraSs then

Whaling has been carried on in tho
Spitzbergen seas during the last forty
years, according To Capt. Gray, of the
steamer Eclipse, of Peterhead, by the aid
Of the traffic in seals, with whose pro-
ducts the gaps in the cargo Of whale
products were filled; but since the intro
luction Of steam vessels, in about 1860,
the seals have been so completely ex-
terminated thatit no longer pays a vessel

been 10 a great extent the ruin of the
Greenland whale fishing. The whales
are reccding farther ana farther into
the ice, where it is impossible to
follow them. So far rs can he
judged, there are probably no fewer
whales now than there were forty years
ago, but they are more inaccessible, as
they are being yearly frightened farther
back by the noise OF the steam engines.
Notwithstanding the greater difficulty of
penetrating the ice at such a time, a
"close season. is welcome to the whale
fisher, for the whale will only appear in
the neighborhood of field ice. and in open
seasons the ice il constantly broken up
by the swell. In some seasons the whales
are later in appearing than in others; but
the usual time is about May 90, and
from that time the fishing is prosecuted
till about the end of June, when the
whales disappear.
Anew branch Of enterprise has been de-
veloped within a few years in fishing for
the small ''bottle nose" whale. These
whales Weld no bone, but give about a
ton each Of an oil equal III %lubricating

for a good many wears back they have
been principally employed by iute manu-
facturers for %lubricating purposes. Since
