ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

TIE GAZETTE, chronologically
is in the NINETIETH year Of its ex-
istence, and is not only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness Of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast Of the times
in all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage of and used for the benefit Of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, fl
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given tomat-
tiers concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference TO
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, it's commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
Try where Virginians have located,
here will the GAZETTE generally
De found, and thus as an adVertls-
ng medium it has few equals out
ide the large cities.
In the household, counting room

have always held that women dress
women better than the male creature
can, writes celebrated woman of fash
ion from Paris. Men have no sense of
the chiffon. They know how to outline
fine figure. But there are so few
really statuesque beauties in the worldl
Female dressmakers understand best
how to amuse the eye, to draw it from
defects of face and figure, and they are
full of tricks and stratagems which the
masculine brain is unable to evolve. A
dress made by a clever dressmaker we'll
up in her business is designed with a
view to manslaughter. The other even
ing was astonished at the fine art of
which Mme C., the milliner, gave
proof, explaining to me how best to hide
the invasion of embonpoint, and to
seem slim when slimness is a thing of
the past. The dress should be loose and
the draperies be kept as much as possible
In vertical folds, the straight line being
here and there departed from merely to
avoid monotony and stiffness. And the
sleeves ought to be of exaggerated
length, not wide, and pushed up so as to
wrinkle like the mousquetaire glove. II
they are made to wrinkle all the way up
to the shoulder, SO much the better.

Whaling has been carried on in the
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 i'll the cargo of whale
products were fillel; but since the intro
duction of steam vessels, in about 1860,
the seals have been so completely ex-
terminated that it no longer pays vessel
to go in search of chem. Steam has also
been to a great extent the ruin of the
Greenland whale fishing. The whales
are receding farther and farther into
the ice, where it is impossible to
follow them. So far as can be
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 viii only appear III
the neighborhood of field ice. and in open
seasons the ice is constantly broken up
by the swell. In some seasons the whales
are later in appearing than in others; hIt
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 few years in fishing for
the small ''bottle nose' whale. These
whales yield no bone, but give about a
ton each of an oil equal i'll lubricatng
power to the southern sperm whale oil.
Since they began to be hunted more than
300 have sometimes been killed in sea-
son by single ship; but there are Signs
that the trade is being overdone. The
oils, formerly tho mainstay of the fish
cries, were at one time largely used for
lighting collieries and street lamps, but
for good many years back they have
been principally employed by iute manu-
facturers for lubricating purposes. Since
the discovery of the great Russian petro'
leum wells at Baku, however, the de-
mand for the seal and whale oils has
greatly fallen off, but whalebone' is now
at higher price than ever. Capt Gray
regards the prospect of finding a new
and lucrative whale fishery in the Antarc-
tic seas as very hopeful. York Star.

A GRIND nnke.

In the year 1909 Ferdinand, grand
dake of Tuscany, lay dying. Under
him Florence had maintained its com
nlerce and Tuscany held its own. in
spite of emperor and pope Indeed,
dinal's hat for the Tuscan throne this
prince had given proofs of the resolu-
zion, fire and will which served to
maintain his state III those disjointcd
times The early occasion that called
these qualities into play is SO typical
of the time as to be worth recording
here. The story is recorded by Napier.
He says:
I'm the year 1890 Pope Sixtus for
babe small arms should be worn on
pain of death. Yet one day from
Prince Harnesses pocket tumbled a
small pistol at the very feet of the
pontiff, and the prince was ordered to
be hanged at the same hour next even
ing.
Ferdinand, hearing of this, deter
mined to save his kinsman, and, to
this end, found means to retard all
the clocks of Rome one full hour, ex-
copt the pontiff's. At the moment

of his friend. Sixtus, seeing that the
time was passed, and the execution,
as he thought, over, most graciously
signed an order of release, and Ferdi-
nand repaired to st. Angelo and car
ried off the prince in triumph.
''Incensed at this trick, the pope de-
termined to arrest the cardinal, whom
he summoned to the Vatican. Ferdi-
nand, cognizant of the popes inten,
ton, armed himself with a cuirass and
short weapons, made his adherents
guard every entrance to the palace,
and then boldly entered the audience
chamber. Sixtus, informed of all,
and cautiously assembling, received
him as usual Ferdinand bowed pro-
foundly, and, purposely letting fall
his robe, showed glittering cuirass.
On seeing this the pontiff exclaimed:
My lord cardinal, my lord car
dinal, what is this2
