Mysterious Work Thai Resulted In the Boy.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH,
know OF one house that is not troubled
by tramps. 1t is the boarding house of Mrs.
K, which has been singularly free from
these pets ever since one beautiful spring
morning, in 1887. On that morning a di-
lapidated pedestrian applied to Mrs. K for
"a bite to eat.'' and that lady, feeling the
inspiration of the joyous day, and the exhil-
aration of the acquisition of the new
boarder, had given him cup of coffee and
some bread and butter. He slipped the
coffee, took nibble OF the buttered bread,
thanked Mrs. K, and, remarking that there
were times when it seemed pro anation of
ones spiritual nature to eat, slowly departed,
with a far-away look in his eyes and a mel.
ancholy lassitude in his steps, pausing long
enough at the gate to cut an odd-looking
hieroglyphic on the bark of tree.
Since that day Mrs. x. has never been
bothered by a tramp. Occasionally one
would reach the gate, but on seeing the tree
would turn and pursue his pilgrimage. u
This naturally excited curiosity among
the boarders o. Mrs. K, as we'll as in the
bosom OF that good lady herself-a curiosity
which was not gratifed until one evening
last week. 1t was just after supper, and
Mrs. K. and most of her boarders were sit

enjoyed the attention and gave every assist
ance in his power by drawing up his lips to
give free access to the gums, and laid bare
bristling array of teeth. When one side
was cleaned the planter gave the whale q
slap between the ear and eve and bade him
turn the other side. Immediately the great
head sank, passed under the boat and came
up dripping on the other side. When this
one had been picked clean the whale sculled
quickly ahead until it was 600 or 700 eet
away from the boat. Then it began series
of antics, and displayed an agility scarcely
to be expected from so great an animal. 1t
darted straight ahead, it suddenly backed
water, it swan in circle, it gamboled like
dolphin, it threw itself clear from the
water, making great splash and dangerous
waves when it fell back; last of all 1t put its
head down and fukes up, throwing nearly
half its length into the air and rose quietly
beside the boat. The chopped meat was
thrown overheard, and we rowed back to
shore while this odd pet was feeding.
A CORAL BOUND PRISONER.
Glow did get;him?" said the planter, in
answer to my food o. questions. ut might
be more accurate to say he got me first. One
day some years ago ] was sailing up the
lagoon with barrel full OF chopped meat to
bait pool in the reef beyond. All at once
telt the boat lifted up. and overturned, and
when l had rigbted her ami clambered
aboard, there was the whale feeding on the
meat which had been scattered all about.
He was only 20 ieet long then, but that was
quite long enough to give me a good scare
in addition to my ducking. Somehow or
other he never seemed able to fnd the pass
back into the sea, and now he is so big that
he could not get out even ii he wished to.
From being afraid oil him grew reconciled
to his presence in the lagoon. One day he
came up close to the boat, and though was
very much frightened, began to pick these
crabs out of his eye.
From that time he attached himself to
me, and found that he relished being
petted. Once when / was i'll
left HIM unattended for several weeks. He
came down the lagoon much further than
usual, and at last ran himself aground just
below my house and had to wait several
hours for the tide 10 float him off. That
shows that he missed me. Here is another
sample of his intelligence. When the boys
drum upon the bottom of the boat he hears
the sound a long distance under water and
at once comes to the surface. Then if I
blow the horn he knows that I have come
out to iced HIM and comes quickly up to the
boat But if 1 do not blow the horn he
long range. 1t is not easy to say how much
sense whale has, but this ought to con-
vince any one that my big pet is possessed
of considerable intelligence"

as the figure of woman rose gradually into

satisfied with the salaries they receive.
Every year some of Piltsburg's best school

COOKING AND CHEMISTRY.
When the cnoking school opens tomorrow
the pupils will find new coat of paint on
its walls, its little gas stoves and the cook
ing range nicely polished, and the pots and
pans newly Japanned. Many of the little
girls who will here don the white caps
and aprons have been spending
their vacation in the country. They
have entertained many an old
fashioned farmers wife with an account of
this modern city cooking school, and heard
it denounced by Aunt Rachel as new fang
dangled nonsense" On the other hand the
little misses come home wondering how
cooking school can possibly be complete
without COW 10 milk without milk to

can she learn in city cooking school to be

Up at the High School the laboratory oil
the class in chemistry has been refurnished

will be apt to interest the boys there for the
next ew weeks will be the best mixture OF

the best formulas for amateur photography

Berlin Letter 70 The Dispatch.l
Lam told by one of the couriers Of the
Emperor who has just returned from Rus
sia, that the Empress is now entirely deaf.
When the courier, carrying messages from
Her Majesty, Augusta Victoria, appeared
before the Czarina, lady in waiting secret
ly wrote down his message on a piece OF
pasteboard, which was handed TO Her
Majesty under cover of fan, and alter she
had read it she answered in quite an uncon-
cerned manner. So il seems that the royal
comedy, which was once played by the
blind George Of Hanover, who endeavored
by sundry tricks to keep his terrible afflic.
tion a secret, is to be repeated to-day ut
Petershoi and Gatschina.
In Russian court circles it is whispered
that the Czariua's deafness Is q conseo uence
of the terrible railroad accident Of Borkum
when the detonation Of the explosives which
we're intended to destroy Alexander and his
family injured the muscles of her ears. The
affair was not made known at the time for
good reasons. The story seems plausible
enough, but In the face Of the lamentabie
fact that the Czarina's lovely sister, the
Princess Of Wales.is likewise ata icted the
question arises, whether the Borkum incl
dent does not serve ~ q convenient excuse
for an hereditary disease. However, the
Czarina has trouble enough without this ad-
additional one and general sympathy viii
