Maternal Love of the Whale.

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention Of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike calf if posi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware of
the snaring of her young she rushes to-
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing the whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless of the hsr-
poons that are hurled at her and enter
her hesh.-Detroit Free Press.

Big Guns In China.

The Pekin Gazette contains curious
memorial from the viceroy of Canton re-
specting 102 73-centimeter guns manu-
factured by Krupp on the order of Chang
Chihtung, the late viceroy of the prov
ince. The viceroy says the guns are
excellent in every respect, but they do
not suit the Notifications for which they
were intended. The damp climate of
the province and the white ants, (which
eat anything and everything" would
destroy them; the district is SO hilly that
they could not be moved, the coast is
composed of wet sand, in which the
wheels would get fixed Immediately; the
guns are too long for the embankment
on which they were to be placed and
could not be turned around; there are no
horses in the province to drag them, and
if there were there is no forage for them;
finally, the horses in the adjacent prov
inces are SO small that if they were i'm
ported they could not drag such heavy
guns. The obstacles being SO numerous
and insurmountable, the memorialist
asks that he may be allowed to transfer
the guns to his brother, Lii Hung Chang,
for use in the north, payment to be made
for them when he can. Should he re-
ceive any money from his brother on
this account, the memorialist promises
to report the fact. The emperor author
ICES this course to be followed.

Death Above Her and Death Below.

Clinging for her life to a rough beam
while flying express train thundered
and swayed above her head! Swinging
in midair, with death above and below
her, until almost exhausted by fatigue
from the terrible strain!
This was the dire predicament in
which Miss Norah Oldham, of Nashville,
was placed, and it was only due to her
cool judgment and calm presence of
mind that she was saved from death.
In attempting to cross the railroad
trestle which extends from Cedar street
to beyond Line, she was run down by an
express train, the engineer of which,
Dickson, was trying to enter the Union
depot on time and had been running un-
usually fast for some minutes. She was
compelled to let herself down on the
outside of the track and hang on until
she was rescued. - Memphis Appeal

A Peculiar PRAYER.

In a Maine town near the seacoast
was one of many communities where the
men We're, so to speak, cross between
farmers and sailors, and where, as a
natural consequence, the cultivation of
the soil was somewhat neglected.
The minister of neighboring town
exchanged with the minister of this
community, and as drought was upon
them the people sent him a request that
he would pray for rain. This he did,
as follows:
80 Lord, thy servant is asked by this
people to pray for rain, and he does SO.

To Protect Lives of Railroad Men.

~ Litcs Ol haiAioao HAChe
An ingenious and simple instrument
has been devised for the protection of
surface men at work on the railways.
The inventor, Sir William Arrol, was
led to apply his mind to this matter in
consequence of the numerous fatalities
which have lately occurred among that
class of railway servants in England.
The instrument consists of steel spring
connected with portable electric bat
terry and bell by coil of wire two Or
three hundred yards long. When the
spring has been bolted into position on
the inner side of the rail and almost flush
with the top of the rail the battery is
carried to the neighborhood of where
the workmen are engaged, the connec-
ton being kept up by the coil of wire,
which is unwound to the necessary
length.
When train comes along the spring
is depressed by the fanges of the wheel
as they pass over and two metallic but
tons, one on the under side of the spring
and the other on the upper side OF the
sole plate, are brought into contact and
complete an electric circuit supplied
from the battery, ringing the bell at the
battery and thus warning the workmen
of the approaching train. The instru-
ments are to be kept at the signal boxes
along the line SO as to be readily avail
able by the workmen. Sir William Arrol
does not intend to patent the invention
His sole desire is to render the surface
mans life less dangerous one and he
gives all railway companies permission
to manufacture as many as they please.

How the Natives Treat Gorillas.

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as human
beings Of inferior types. and it is for
this reason that for long time it was
found impossible to get hold of an entire
gorilla skin, because the savages con-
sidered it religiously necessary to cut off
the hands and feet of the animals when
they killed them, just as they do with
their enemies, possibly for the purpose of
rendering them harmless in case they
should by any chance come to life again.

What Il a COwbOyl

Where the cowboy comes from is a
mystery. He is often of Mexican
origin, and more than half Indian. He
is democrat always; he lives under
the flag of Il republic, and knows it,
lie recognizes no social superior in
any man; but, on the other hand. to
those he considers his interiors, as the
Indian or negro, no aristocrat or ars-
tOcrats could be laughter. He is
brave to fool-hardiness, and will take
chances of his life that it would seem
none but II crazy man would He take )
no manner OF care of his health. When
long way from the camp or ranch
he sleeps where night finds him on the
open prairie. with only the stars for
light. He bathes when he has time,
and eats and drinks anything he can
get, and all he can get. He can be de-
pended upon to do his work well, be it
at camp or when driving in big
bunch of horses from the ranges to the
ranch. He is strong rs an OK. has an
unbounded love for gay trappings. and
is generally gay and free from care.
His chief characteristic is profound
contempt for the denizen of the east,
whom he calls a tenderfOOt. The cow
boy might not shine on Fifth avenue
says Harper's Weekly, but he is found
just the proper person for the ranch,
and he is withal very picturesque.
very useful, and very natural man.
The wages paid him are small, and are
usually expended as the first oppor-
tunity presents itself. He thinks not
