WHALING ON HORSEBACK.


| Graphic Descriptions OF . Very Strange
and Exciting Scene.
We can almost see your eyes open
wide in wonder at the heading of this
little sketch. Who ever heard of men
on horseback capturing and killing
whales? And how in the world could it
be done? Mr.. Holder tells all about it
in his delightful book recently pub
lished. Several years ago student
who was interested in whales went to
Cape Cod to spend the summer. be-
cause he knew that the animals were
often caught there. Here is his de-
scription of very strange and exciting
scene:
| The tide was dead low, and had left
big sandy fiat almost bare, on which
the sea beat furiously, and with roar
that was deafening. but inside the bar
was a stretch of water forming a little
| inclosed lake about half mile wide
and from three to four feet deep. This
was comparatively smooth, and in it
were about twenty enormous black OBJ
jects laundering and rushing about,
flashing the water into foam. and fol-
| lowed by dozen or more men, part OF
whom were on horseback like our
selves.
1t was a school of whales and black
| fish. In some way they had been
trapped inside of the bar, and when the
tide went out they were at the mercy
of the whalers on horseback. :, Every
one was greatly excited. The horses
were urged into the water, while their
riders, armed with harpoons, lances,
| boat-hooks or any other weapon that
happened to be at hand. were endeav-
| oring to capture as many of the mon
sters as possible.
In we plunged, the horses at first
snorting with terror, but, once in the
water, they seemed to share the gen.
| eral excitement and plunged madly
| after the excited sea-hunters. Here
| and there were Blacklist that had been
wounded and their tails were beating
| the water with terrific force; others
| were tearing up and down with light
| ming speed. Soon one of the horses
was fairly lifted from its feet by one of
the struggling fish and thrown sprawl
| ing into the water. A roar of laughter
greeted the rider as he rose from the
water.
The men kept up an incessant yell
ing and splashing, and SO gradually
forced the monsters up the creek, if so
it could be called. The great creatures
seemed to know that they were running
into still more fatal trap. and they
made great efforts to break through
the line of horses and men. The ap-
pearance of great black animal rush.
ing at you, floundering along, beating
the water with blows powerful enough
to kill a horse Or man, gave a strong
flavor of danger to the adventure.
For an hour this was kept up. until
finally, one by one, the animals were
driven upon the shoals and dispatched.
They were all from fifteen to twenty
five feet long. -Philadelphia Times.

STYLISH PARASOLS.

Novelties Produced fer the Coming Spring
and Summer Seasons.
The new parasols for spring and
summer are covered faille or armure
silk in plain colors or richly brocaded,
or with striped silks, plaids or bord-
cred patterns. and very dressy para
soils have thin gauze, silk muslin or
net covers brocaded with tinsel in de-
signs like embroidery. The handles
are of natural woods--hol1y, acacia,
bamboo, cherry or ebony-with Curl
ously twisted hoops or large hooks or
knobs at the end, or else they are
quantity carved and tipped with silver
or gold. Coaching parasols and those
for general use have handles that ex-
tend fourteen inches beyond the edge
of the silk cover when closed. The
Directoire parasols to be used with
walking toilettes have much longer
handles, like walking sticks, extend
ing eighteen inches beyond the cover.
and these handles are now put to-
gether with screw joint SO that they
may be taken apart and doubled
small enough to go into a very
small trunk. Rich brocades of the
last century in dull colors and with
metallic designs are appropriate COW
ers for these parasols when meant for
dress, while for morning walks the
striped and bordered silk covers are
used. A novel feature inside the new
Cleopatra parasOls is a ribbon trim
ming winding around the stretchers
that hold the parasol open as they ra-
date from the stick; when the parasol
is closed these ribbons show beyond
the tips. and cluster of loops is
formed around the stick, giving full,
bunchy effect that is considered very
stylish.
Faille parasols of green or of gray
shades are made to correspond with
many of the spring stuffs for dresses.
Striped parasols must be striped
around instead of down the breadths,
and those with wide stripes are pre-
ferred. The ferule at the top is very
long, and is pointed in parasols that
have cane handles. Black parasols
have new designs of MORE. palm, ovals,
or large balls on faille grounds. For
mourning are Rhadzimir parasols with
carved ebony sticks. For piazzas
and carriage use in midsum-
mer are white and gold bro
caded silk parasols. OR pale old
rose, or blue brocades in leaf and
ostrich feather designs, or else en-
broidered silk muslin or net is put
plainly over white. black, gray, rose
or empire-green silk of the shade as
the transparent fabric. A bow of the
silk or of the ribbon is tied on the
handle in full loops. and loop of
passementerie cord is also added there,
through which the arm is passed to
carry the parasol when it is not hoist
ed. Sun-umbrellas have a short eight.
inch handle tipped with gold or silver.
and are covered with black taffeta silk.
For the country are cotton satteen and
gingham parasOls in large figures and
plaids. with either short or long ham
dies India silk is also prettily mount
ed for parasols to match the summer
dress with which it is worn Small
turned-over shades for use in early
spring are made up of silks, or they
have lace covers all in one piece in the
fashion Of long ago -Harper's Bazaar.
