Catching Whales In the Faroea.

Tho FARGO Islands lie In region OF
the North Atlantic which Is much fire.
quentcd by whales. Among tho limited
resources OF these island tho profits OF
the local whale fishery have to be taken
into account. No other branch of In
dustry carried on there possesses greater
speculative interest. In one year a
couple Of thousand Of whales may DO
driven to their death up one or other Of
the different sounds; In the succeeding
year perhaps q couple Of hundred only
are killed.
So important Is tho whale industry
that 1t affects every member of tho
community. The sysselmen, or pro-
vincial judges, look to their percentage
ON capture as matter-of-fact addition
to the small stipend allowed by tho
Danish Government. The parish priest
has his legal share also, as a matter of
course -thirtieth of every catch
within his district, and even tho Crown
itself does not disdain to participate in
the proit--receiving share equal to
that Of tho priest This profit is con-
siderable.
1t will be seen, therefore, that Farce
may we'll be grateful to tho ocean sur.
rounding 1t. Ever since records were
kept at Thorshavn q. O., since 1884,
nearly one hundred and twenty thou
sand whales have been slaughtered in
the isles; and to this day tho whales,
with predictions about tho luck or ill
luck of tho actual season, furnish the
most exciting topics of talk in Farce.

Don. XIII TN Old Hen..

When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider
fat sign of health The fattening of moult-
ing hens, however, as with some people, pro-
duces debility rather than health. Many If
the worst cases of roup are contracted, while
the hens are moulting.
The fond Of moulting hens, If largely vegc-
tablets fat-forming, and not required for grow
ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very
fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate
elements in their food when moulting,w which II
not supplied they stop laying, because the
growing feathers have used all, and left no nj
trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season,
killing old hens and relying on young pullets Is
great mistake, where people have few hens
and late pullets. Because, If properly fed. the
hens will have their new plumage and lay well
all winter; while the pullets unless specially
treated may not commence laying until spring,
when high Prices for eggs have fallen one-half.
Again an old Lens egg will hatch more Wig
orous chickens than pullet's egg.
John R. Jones, Sulfleld, Conn, a breeder Of
prize winning mottled Javas, says:
u find Sheridan's Condition Powder, fed once
daily in the food, very valuable for moultine
hens. Ihave used 1t two years for exhibition
birds. 1t assists In growing new feathers
makes the combs bright red, and gives a rich
gloss to the plumage. 1t will also make hens
lay and the eggs hatch well. l find when the
other egg foods are used in quantities to force
egg production the eggs do not hatch"
The above is the experience Of many people
In using Sheridan's Powder. Ii fed to young
pullets now as directed, they will begin to lay
using Sheridan's Powder. 1t helps old hens
through moulting, and gets the pullets in lay
ing trim before the season of high prices. Eggs

He Is,uea O Prote,t to tho English
People Against American Justics.
Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, was
hanged at st. Louis on the 10th for the muir
der of c. Arthur Preller. Maxwell slept
part of the night but rose haggard and pale.
He still had some hope of respite. as the
British government had male trief final
appeal This hope was nourished by a post
ponement of two hours, in accordance with
an agreement between the sheriff and the
pr soner's counsel. Maxwell ate sparingly
at breakfast and was manifestly in state OF
great alarm. Early in the morning he issued
the following:
To the people of England NV English
countrymen will doubtless remember the
great boasts that have now and Mt all times
been made by the American people in regard
to the fair and just way in which they treat all
people. am satisfied that you are not &C.
qu4inted with the unlawful, unjust and I'M
fair way in which have been trested, since
you are accustomed in England to see justice
administered impartially in courts. An ex-
animation of the records in my case will
show that the prosecution resorted to every
unfair means in their power, even to crime
itself, for they procu' ell check to be
forged, had the man arrested who presented
it and placed him in Jail. Afterward The
prosecution placed him on the witness stand
to testify. His evidence was tissue of lies
from one end to the other, in fact, upon the
witness stand he said he would lie as far as
he considered necessary, and the prosecu-
tion said in open court that they had
paid $50 for such services. This
Is one specimen Of the boasted
American justice. This is only one Of the
means used by the prosecution, and had l
time could give you numbers of them. The
trial has been denounced as a travesty on
and a miscarriage Of justice by leading
lawyers here Proof that one of the jurors
said that be was going on the jury to con-
vict was presented to the governor. The
British government interf red and requested
an inquiry, but was refused by Gov. Moro
house on the ground that he had no right to
do it. and that it did not really intend TO in
terfere. On the fact aSto the prejudiced juror
being made known tothe governor he said the
fact did not amount to anything. So am
made to suffer the penalty of the law with
out having a fair trial rs guaranteed to
everyone by the state constitution. The
prosecution stated in the papers That the
governor ought to disregard the request of
the British government on the ground that
am an Englishman and that the British gov
eminent had not taken any notice of the
United States interference in the ODonnell
case Csigned) HUGH NJ. BROOKS.
Maxwell murdered Preller, fellow Eng
lishman, at the Southern hotel in March,
1885; cut up his body, placed it in a trunk
and ned to Australia. He was easily traced
and brought back He was convicted with
reasonable promptness but by various
devices the execution Of his sentence was
delayed. He protested bis innocence and
said that he killed Preller by accident in
treating him with chloroform for an illness.

at AmeSbury, Macs.

at Ams.bury, Macs.
Hon. Richard s. spofford died at bis home
on Deer island Amesbury, Aug. II, aged SO
years.
Mr.. Spofford had been lifelong sufferer,
but he bore up under his il firmities with
characteristic patience and courage. His
clear and strong intellect was superior to
pain, and when others would have yielded to
despair, his cheerful mind and buoyant spirit
broke through all the clouds of his sick room.
Mr.. Spofford was born in 1888. He was
the son or the late DR.. Richard s. Spofford
of Newburyport, widely known and sue
cessful practitioner in Essex county and who

sauna Rawson, one of the first prominent
American writers and the authoress of
Charlotte Temple" Mrs Fanny Trollope
was cousin, and among those in the early
family line was Christopher kilby, for whom
Kilby STREET in Boston was named, and who.
it is interesting to note in the light Of after
events, was the messenger delegated to bring
from England the p-tent of baronetcy to
Sir William Pepperell, the direct ancestor of
Harriet Prescott, later Mrs. Richard s. Spot
ford.
Mr.. Spofford early became interested in
politics, and it is through his political career
that he became prominent in the state. he
WIS always democrat. In 1858 he was
elected to toe state house OF representatives
from Newburyport and served during the
following term. Heagain became member
OF the house in 1866. TWENTY-FIVE years ago
Mr.. Spofford married Harriet Prescott, the
well known authoress, who survives him. A
man Of genial disposition and sterling quail
tiles, he was esteemed and respected by hosts
OF friends In public and private life.

Antique Slang.

'Golng tho whole hog" sThe whole
hog or none," are supposed to be Ameri-
can slang phrases OF highly metaphor
cal meaning but as a matter of fact they
came to this country with the pilgrim
fathers. By some incomprehensible
play Of fancy they are thought to have
reference to pork, but that is quito a.
erroneous as the other suggestions
They are of Scandinavian origin. s..
Barring Gould, aquarter of century
ago found their original among the Ice
landers, who are descended from the
same Norsemen who settled in parts of
England. In the Scandinavian tongue
'hogg'' or tined hoggi' means ''all at
once" and this is the origin Of 'going
the whole hog."-[Chicago Herald.

ERUPTION OF BANDAI SAN.
Bodies Numbering 4S0 Recovered
from the Japanese Ruin.

The steamer City of Sydney which arrived
at San Francisco from Hong Kong and
Yokohama. brings japanese journals with
particulars Of volcanic eruption of Bandai
San on the 18th OF July. The details of the
catastrophe come in somewhat disjointed
form. On the morning Of the 18TH at about
8 O'Clock the small er Bandit San tremblei
and roared violently. Almost Immediately
afterward ashes beganto fall, the sky sud-
denly grew dark and the rumbling sounds
continued, accompanied by violent earth
quake and flare OF dazzling flame The crest
Of the smaller Band III San appeared to be
lifted bodily upward, and then to fall again
with tremendous noise, then followed
showers of red mud, mingled with large
stones. spreading havoc around. Such indeed
was the nature of nearly all the matter
erupted-red mud without small stones but
accompanied occasionally by heavy rocks.
Above the mud fell few inches Of ashes.
In the five villages OF Twase, Yosen, Waka-
miya, Misato and Hib,ra, most Of the
houses were buried to depth Of from seven
to 20 fee Tho state of the bodies recovered
is terrible. S,me are literally cut to pieces
others are parboiled so that it is scarcely
possible to distinguish between men and
women. A few corpses wero found sus-
pended in the branches OF trees which had
caught them as they fell. Up to the 18th
the number of bodies recovered is 4,G 1t is
believed that Gl arc still entombcd.
