Caught Two Whales and a Wife.

One of the whaleman on the schooner
La Nina has a little romance. His
name is William Stevens, and he has
been sailor on coasting vessels for sew
eral years. Ten months ago he fell in
love with pretty and estimable young
lady at Yaquina bay. Stevens wanted
to get married, but his funds were low,
so it was arranged between the two low
ers that William should go on a whal-
ing cruise and ON his return the nuptial
knot should be tied.
William came down on the next
steamer, but found that sailors who had
never been on whaling voyage were
regarded as green hands, and that when
old timers were clamoring for a chance
to ship a new man had very little show.
However, Stevens persevered, and per-
suaded Captain Worth to take him on
Whitelaw's whaler, the schooner La
Nina. The green hand proved the mas
cot of the trip, and he killed the only
two whales taken on the voyage. They
were big fellows and produced $500
pounds of bone.
Stevens has consequently come into
funds, and more funds than usually fall
to the lay of a whaleman.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

thoroughly, put into three one quart
faucy molds with tight covers and

heated by steaming for an hour at any
time and will keep indefinitely. If the
flavor of almonds is not liked they can

An interesting feature has arisen with
respect to the Inauguration of President
Cleveland. March 4 next year occurs on
Saturday. The discovery of this fact
has led to some discussion regarding the
propriety of holding the inaugural ball
on Saturday night, when Sunday morn
ing must necessarily be ushered in with
the first stroke of -. Inquiry of those
who have been prominently identified
with the inauguration ceremonies of pre-
vious years shows that this question need
not occasion concern.
In the first place, the event known as
the inaugural "balp is in reality re-
ception merely. The throng in attend
ance is always so great as to prevent
dancing. In the second place, it has,
with rare exceptions been brought to a
conclusion by midnight, even when no
considerations of respect for Sunday en-
tered into the case. A ball ON Friday
night would be inappropriate, and a
postponement to Monday night would
be an injustice to the thousands of visit
ors who would be compelled to leave
the city before that time. There is no
likelihood, therefore, that the time hon
ored precedent of an Inauguration ball
on the evening of inauguration day will
be departed from when Mr.. Cleveland is
inducted into office.-Wa ashington Post.

The imperial German health authori-
ties have been engaged in experiments,
the object of which was to ascertain
whether a healthful bread could be made
of mixture of rye -four and peanuts.
Incidentally it was discovered that the
refuse left after the oil has been ex-
tracted from peanuts contains 80 per
cent. of albuminous matter. Such being
the case, bread made with an admixture
of peanuts or peanut refuse would GER
tainly be highly nutritious, inasmuch as
the nutritive element of any kind of
bread is mainly albuminous.
Wheat and rye fiours have only about
II or 12 per cent. of albuminous matter
in them. When oil has been extracted
by pressure or otherwise from vegeta-
BILE substance, the residue is called ''oil-
cake" All oilcakes are largely albumi
nous. Flaxseed oilcake contains more
than 40 per cent. of such elements, and
the oilcake of cotton seed is about the
same. 1t is generally supposed that pea
nuts are very indigestible. Another
question involved is whether they could
be grown more cheaply than wheat,
which would seem to be very doubtful.
Perhaps, however, peanut bread is to
be looked forward to as luxury of the
future. w Washington Star.

All Hallow Even, or Halloween, the
evening before All Saints Day, the 1st
of November, has yet another title in the
north of England-namely, Nutcrack
Night, the derivation of which is OBJ
vious enough. Impartially weighed
against the others, it is perhaps the very
best time of the whole year for discov-
ering just what sort of husband or wife
one is to be blessed withal.
Of old time, to go back to the usual
source of such things, the Romans had
feastrof Pomona at this time, and it
was then that the stores laid up in the
summer for use in the winter were
opened. The appropriateness of the use
of nuts and apples at this time thus be
comes apparent. But when festival
fiourishing in the British isles has fires
connected with it, look sharp for a
Druidical origin and it will not usually
be necessary to look far. Now Hallow-
cen has fires connected with it and a
Druidical connection, if not actual orr
gin, seems highly probable. York

There are people living in Mars, they say,
Enjoying the lease of a longer year,
And starrer night, and a SUMMER day,
And steadier climates than we have here.
Are their winters blighted by want and woe
Their summers by pestilence, plague and
thunder
Do they suffer there as we do below,
Iwonder2
Do they plant and water their rosy fields,
And struggle with sorrow and fight with
fears,
While the thorns and thistles their red earth
yields
Are choking the seed that they sowed In
tears2
Do they trust in idols of stone and wood,
And trample the meek and lowly under2
Do they love the evil and leave the good,
wonder?
Or happier world may 1t be than this,
Where sin has not entered, nor death by sin
Which is bushing still from Creations kiss,
Whilst never serpent has slidden in?
And If we may wander amongst the stars
When body and spirit are riven asunder,
May we live life over again in Mars,
wonder?
Shall we find what here we have sought in
vain
Fulfilling ideals where once we failed?
With the crooked made straight and the rough
made plain,
Will difficult mountains at last be scaled?
Repair the old wastes and retrieve each
blunder?
Shall we meet in Mars all we missed on Earth,
wonder?

eAlDUK AND THE MlSTLETOE.


How the God of Oratory and Poetry
Died-A Legend of the North.
The mythology of the north unfolds
to us the fatal power of the mistletoe in
the charming myth of Baldur, the young
god of oratory and of poetry.
Baldur the Good was the favorite son
of Odin, and beloved of all the gods es-
Yecially for his marvellous beauty and
courage. From a succession of terrible
dreams he believed himself doomed to
death and related the hideous vision to
the assembled gods, who with one ac-
cord determined to avert from him all
danger and to this end conjured all
things. Frigga, his mother, exacted
from the elements and from all things
in nature, animate and inanimate, vow
under no circumstances to do him harm.
Thus protected Baldur, as of yore, led
the chase and courted danger in protean
form, giving himself as target for the
other gods arrows, battleaxes and
other weapons, who, believing that, do
what they would, they could do him no
hurt, thus sported with his valor, deem
ing it an honor paid to Baldur.
Loki, the detractor of the gods and
the author of all their misfortunes, an
gered that no harm could befall Baldur
and filled with envy and jealousy at the
tribute thus paid to him by the other
gods, resorted to strategy to find some
way to work him evil. Assuming the
disguise of a woman, he sought the
abode Of Frigga, and asked her if she
knew how the gods were employed
She replied to the question, and to the
passionate love and pride of the mother
for her darling, gifted son, that they
were testing their skill and the merits
of their weapons upon Baldur, who was
unscathed by them.
"Aye, ave." Frigga made answer;
"naught can hurt Baldar. | have ex-
exacted an oath from all things to do
him no harm"
"Whatw exclaimed the deceiver;
"have all things really sworn to spare
Baldur?"
"All things" returned Frigga, Tex
cept an insignificant plant that grows
near Walhalla, called 'mistletoe;' ally
thing so weak could do him no harm"
Hastily Loki left the presence of
Frigga, and resuming his own shape
searched for and found the frail plant.
Appearing amid the gods with a branch
of mistletoe, he directed it with aim so
sure that Baldur was pierced through
the heart and expired instantly.-New
York Ledger.

as between man and man, which was

or the horses? What did the boys about
town pay dollar to see, women and
dudes or horses and ponies? Why were
5000, 500 paid for the use of box in
the horse show six consecutive nights?
Was it for love of horses, was it for in
terest in breeding, was it because of any
knowledge of thoroughbreds? 1t would

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.


Holiday Institutions.
The Christmas tree is cherished with
the same loving affection as ever. 1t
may not be fashionable in the parlors of
the aristocratic, to whom few seasons
bring any of the deeper feelings which
fill the minds of men and women whose
lives are not made up of cold formality.
But among the great majority of the
people the joys of Christmas day will
not be complete without the Christmas
tree, with its numerous tiny tapers
its oranges, apples, bonbons, gilded
crackers and the present which is to sur
prise the fond papa, who has been aware
of its existence for three or four weeks.
Nor will the day have so firm a hold on
the mind of the young were it not for
those rosy checked dolls peeping from
behind the green leaves, those watches
which are striking clicking might be
better word) proofs of perpetual motion,
and those bright little men who show
such an amount of good temper that
they repay the child who beheads them
with supply of sweetmeats which
their little heads carefully preserved
from view.
A thousand more things there are to
keep the Christmas tree ever green in
the mind of the young and even the old
According to the dealers, the middle
classes are the largest buyers of this
happy emblem of the day, and in the
matter of nationality the Irish and the
German lead the way. The trees are
pine and cedar, the former coming from
Wisconsin and the latter from Missouri.
Yesterday the hospital matron, the Sun
day school miss and great many more
were to be seen making their bargains
for the best trees they could select, and
some of them reach as high as twenty
eight feet.
Green holly, contrasting pleasantly
with red berries, is also in the market,
and there is ivy woven into tempting
wreaths by knowing traders. Most of
the holly and ivy come from the south.
For the rest the merchants and bankers
say that money is easier than it has been
for long time, and therefore it is freely
spent. With the sight of snow and a
little frost on his window pane, as one
glanced from his room in the morning,

chen he notices that it is gone. While

Yet who that prizes summers golden moon
But longs for autumn's soft, pathetic grace2
Who revels in the lavish wealth of June
Nor sighs to think of April's varying face2
Who tired Of glare but turns to the warm
gloom,
Where the great yulelogs glimmer in the room7
Why, without change, rift would deepen
down;
A passing wrong would redden to hate;
love would wither meath an angry frown,
And rash vow take all the strength of fate
Where constancy might darken, curse es-

Fair fall the sunny power of happy changel
Let times soft magic wear away the wrath
And patience do her perfect work at last
And hope SOW laughing blossoms on the path
That will outbloom the nights shade of the

Till all that lives and moves In lifes wide
range
May bless the sweet vicissitudes of change.
