 The Manafee fin Washington.
 From the Washington Post-l
 The manatee or sea COW, two specimens of which have been on exhibition here, is now almost an extinct Species. The two seen in Washington were captured in the Indian river, Fla. last July The larger of the two weighed about 500 pounds and was feet long, The other was a foot shorter and weighed 750,
 The two in washington are said to be the | only specimens that lived more than week after capture, and they were apparantly in good health.
 Capt. .Zellers said he hunted several weeks | for these specimens, following them for anumber of days after he discovered them. They usually are found in herds, which combine for mutual protection when at- tackled, placing their young in the center. They are great towards, always trembling in fear of danger. Nature has failed to provide them with any weapon of defense | except the power to outswim sharks and | whales.
 The disappearance of the sea COW is &C., counted for by the fact that the hide is valuable and the flesh held in high esteem for food. These specimens were driven in | to nets and pulled aboard with rope which the captain looped about their tails. | He says he will make an effort to catch 6 | couple for the National Geological Park. l Specimens of manatee have been harpoon- ed which weighed four tons and were twen- ! ty feet long.

Uncle Sans Timepieces.

1t costs Uncle Sam thousands OF
dollars yesr to have his clocks
wound. Every Monday morning you
see men going about the departments
carrying little ladders like those used
by the lamplighters. their business
is to wind and keep in order the clocks
in the departments. Each man has
in his own department or a section OF
the department to look after the
clocks, and this is his sole business.
In some places men are employed by
the month for this purpose, while in
other cases the contract is let by the
month or year to some enterprising
clock ropairer, who sends a Courtney
man" around to wind the clocks and
see whether they IRE in order, and
then goes himself to make such re.
pairs as are necessary.
The cost of winding and caring for
the clocks in the departments runs at
the rate of $75 to 800 a month in
each department.. There are in the
Treasury Department nearly four
hundred clocks. Some OF these are
expensive ones and cost away up in
the hundreds OF dollars, though the
average value departmental clocks
is not more than perhaps SIS or $50
apiece. A good many of the clocks
in the halls Of the public buildings,
and also those in the rooms occupied
by the heads of departments are very
valuable, costing away up in the
hundreds.(

The Metric System Spreading.

The Metric System Spreading.
Although the metric system Of
weights and measurements has made
no Roadway in this country outside
of school arithmetics, it is stated to
be steadily spreading. 1t is now le-
gally recognized in countries having
population Of almost 100000, 900
more than half the population Of
the world. 1t is compulsory in coun-
tries which contain more than one
quarter Of the entire population OF
the world. The strange part OF the
spread of this superior system of
weights and measurements is that
such half civilized countries Us Rus
sia, Turkey and British India seem
to be more alert to realize and take
advantage OF it's admitted superior
ity than England or Americn, with
oil their boosted genius Tor adopting
the best methods and systems.
Shall the turbaned Turk nimbly
reckon up his accounts and meters,
simply arranged OH the decimal scale,
while the highly civilized American
laboriously figures over the irregu-
lar proportions ofounces and pounds,
feet and yards, gallons. bushels and
barrels? How much easier is it to
soy, 10 mills make cent, 10 cents q
dime, 10 dimes or 100 cents make
81, than to struggle with grains,
ounces and pounds. Why don't the
American people adopt the same sim
plicity in weights and measures that
il followed in money?-Omaha World
Herald.

day and night. Shortly afterhe was
buried lie showed himself ut night in
the places where lie had been used in
his lifetime to sit and play. and when
his mother wept he wept also, and
when the morning came he departed.
Since his mother never ceased weep
ing. the child came one night in the
little white shroud in which he had
lain in his coffin, and with the chap
let upon his head, and seating him
self at her feet upon the bed, he cried:
"Oh, mother. mother give over cry
ing, or else ! cannot stopin my coffin,
for my shroud is never dry because
OF your tears, for they foil upon it,"
When the mother heard this she was
sore afraid, and wept no more. And
the babe came npon another night,
holding in his hand n little taper, and
he said: "I.ool:, mother, my shroud
is row quite dry, and lean rest in my
grave" Then she bowed to the will
of Providence and bore her sorrow
with silence and patience, and the
little child returned not again, but
slept in his underground bed.-Ger-

A California RABBIT Drive.

Inc rabbit scourge, which has re-
duced such large tracts ofland in Aus
traila to barrenness, is now threat
ching parts OF California with similar
effects. In Fresno county these YER
min have become SO numerous and
destructive to the farmers that the
wholesale determination of them is
imperative. 1t is estimated that five
rabbits consume as much as one
sheep. They are particularly fond of
the grape vines, fruit trees, corn and
other grain. A drive has been made
by stretching fine wire netting about
three feet high and seven miles in
length, F-shaped. terminating at the
smaller end in circular corral. One
of the drives resulted in the death of
$4,000 rabbits.-New York Tele-

While some men were Mt work near

it became quite warm, and they dug

similar to the rooms of a house.
The first cave is about 20 feet long
and 10 feet wide, and the ceiling
about 10 feet high. The men had
been in the cave only u few moments
when they became uncomfortable

A Happy Medium,

The ultra~flat, bustleless, wireless,
steelless gowns now worn by extrem.
lists are just az iudicrous, inartistic
and unbecoming as the insane-look-
ing, exaggerated, wobbling tournure

tions. There is no gown, however
rich or elegantly adorned, that
looks well when it hangs wholly limp
and fiat ut the back. Fullness Of
skirt aids in giving IL better effect
than narrowness, but even with full
ness in excess, there is still q certain
unfinished, milkmaidy look, wanting
both in elegance and aplomb. 1t is
quite impossible to understand why
1T is always necessary to go from ex-
IRENE to extreme in fashion, and in
the case of the tournure it is q par
ticularly puzzling problem. Nobody

A Whale Breaks q Cable.

. From the Electrical Review,
On September 9th q fault broke
out in the Santos.Santa Catharina
section of the Western and Brazilian
Telegraph Company's system ofca-
bles, but through which signals were
exchanged up to the moment Of cut
ting by therepairing steamer Viking.
The latter, while engaged on the re-
pair on October II, picking up to.
ward the fault 50 fathoms, and
about 20 miles north from Santa
Catharina, brought to the service q
monster dead whale, measuring about
so feet long, intact, with the excep-
tfon OF the upper part (the BELLY,
from which all the skin had been
worn or eaten away, leaving only a
small portion on the neck and tail;
the cable parted Mt the fault with the
strain put upon it in lifting, and the
carcass of the whale being relieved of
the downward pressure, rose like a
torpedo and Inflated like II balloon, q
portion on arriving at the surface of
die water bursting and creating n
most offensive odor, SO that every
one was thankful when the cable was
cut, and theabnoXious object drifted
to leeward: the tail of the whale had
two complete turns round the shank
and three ur four across the fiat or
fan part. 1t would be interesting to
know how long this creature had
been imprisoned; from the advanced
stage OF decomposition it must have
been there some considerable time;
its body WIS covered with barnacles,
AM! some even on tn" %hite part,
wlnre the skin had disappeared. 1t
is v orthy Of NOT. that this cable was
laio IN 1874, - ol with the eNception
of one repair ny the contractors in
1875, has never since been touched,
and is as perfect rs the day it was
laid. The above by Mr.. Peters, of
the Viking, in the third instance in
which whales have broken telegraph
cables The first occurred in the Per.
sim Gulf some fifteen years ago, and
the second OH the west coast of
America. off the Peruvian coast, some
seven years since. In both cases the
whale was dead when brought to the
surface by the repairing vessel, and
was entangled in the cable. The
supposed cause is that the cables
were hung in festoons through being
laid too tightly over uneaven ground,
and that the whales used them MS
rubbing posts to get rid of some of
the barnacles with which there bodies
nre often covered. A swish OF the
tail can easily account for the cable
being twisted around the body, and
the weight and the struggles of the
animals can easily account for the
break. We are Inclined to think the
weight ofthe dead decomposing body
is more likely to breaR the suspended
blight than tleswimming strength of
the whale, which compared to the
observation-disclosures Of cable must
be a small matter. The regularity
OF the case Off the Brazilian coast
lies in the cable not being broken.

"That Everett resorted occasion.
ally to accessories to catch the eyes
OF the groundlings' may seem not al
together worthy of u man of such
cultivated tastes and talents; but
these studied effects, like his studied
oratory, served to bring down the
house and the banquet table; which,
after all, is the object OF the moment
with the orator or the actor, or both
combined. 1t was always successful
with Everett. A gentleman who sat
near him Mt n public dinner in Bos.
ton related a little incident in iIlustra-
tion of this. Among the ornament
ed dishes on the table was q grand
plat fancifully decorated, including
two miniature silk flags on sticks,
which were stuck into the Wand
previously to being served. The dish
stood directly in front of Everett.
Before he was aware of it it was re-
moved for the purpose of being
curved at the sidebonrd. When he
missed it he appeared to be seriously
annoyed, and, reckoning to one Of
the walters, whispered to bring back
the dish and place it where it was
before. This was accordingly done.
My friend, one OF the few who had
observed this little by-scenc. could
not mt NIL understand it, or know
why the great man had appeared SO
at tho loss OF the dish
and SO immensely relieved at it's re-
but when the cloth was
and Everett made his
speech, in response to u national
toast, the mystery was explained.
As the orator warmed with his theme
md expatiated in glowing language
upon the greatness of the Republic
md the patriotic emotions excited
~ the flag of the Union, whose folds
hey all beheld gracefully festooned
'round the wallis of the banquet hall
he seized-as if moved by the impulse
Of the moment-the two little flags
rom the dish before him and waved
hem, one in each hand, above his
lead, until his accents were drowned
n the murmurs of applause that fol-
owed the graceful, appropriate, and,
10 to speak, inspired act"
This story can be readily believed
~ all who heard Everett. He al
ways GRATED, and delivered his
speeches as though they had been
studied before u mirror.

idea was to catch another smaller
boy and hold him while they made

this, and the crane pecked out one of

the boys to jail for fifteen and thirty
