SLAPPED. BY A WHALE.

The Remarkable Experience of IA Portland
Fisherman on the Grand Banks
There is probably only one Portland
fisherman who has had whale rise up
under him AID slap him sky-hISh with
his tail This is John Dimmock, now
IL boatman in the barge office, says the
Lewiston Journal
Mr. Dimmock was on the Grand
Banks and was line-lishing for cod.
Alone i'll his dory, which was anchored
about Il half mile frem the schooner,
he was fishing, Illuminating and enjoy
ing life and his pipe about as thorough
ly rs any fisherman can. He had just
pulled up a shark about six feet long,
and was rebaiting his hook and wonder
ing what would happen next, when
something astonishing did occur.
The dory commenced to move, at
first slowly, then rapidly. Mr.. Dim
mock seized his knife and was just
about cutting the anchor rope, to
which the mysterious motive power
more astonishing occurred. There came
mighty crash, the dory went into tho
seemed attached when something still
air, and as the unfortunate fisherman
event down and shut the door, he
heard the ''woosh" Of Il whale blowing
near.
Dimmock had OH heavy underwear,
thick clothes, long boots, and over all
Il petticoat, such as many Of the fisher
men wear. BY great effort he manag-
Cd to kick off most Of his clothing and
struggle back to the surface. Here he
was promptly and luckily grabbed by
fellow fisherman and was dragged
into dory The skipper who had seen
the strange rumpus from the schoon-
ers deck, could scarcely believe his
eyes and brought home the battered
dory as curiosity.

A Business that Pays.

Few women shoppers in the,f rush
fl bargains stop to think Of the num-
Der of things that are lost by that great
army of bargain-hunters every day.
Pushing and pulling at each other as
they do in their attempts to get near
some special bargain, the unnoticed
dropping Of handkerchief, pocketbook
or fan Is a common occurrence, says
the New York World.
The manager of big store on Sixth
avenue says there is regular company
Of women who do nothing else but
patrol the stores on the lookout for ar
ticles and money lost by shoppers.
Most of these women, he says, are
well known to the fioor-walkers and
detectives, but as they break no laws
and occasionally make small purchases,
they are not molested.
At 6 o'clock each night, according to
his story, or when they meet at their
"office'' and make a general division
of their spoils, to the unique bard 1t

1t Is i'll CambridSeshire, and Was Filled
Up at the Reformation.
Within two hours railway journey
from London there is a catacomb al
nost as wonderful us any to be found
in the Eternal city itself, says the Mil
lion. 1t is twenty eight feet below the
level of Melbourne street, Roystan, q
reach this subterranean curiosity it is
necessary to traverse a Sloping passage
scyenty-eight feet in le1.gth, which has
been tunneled through solid chalk, right
under the famous thoroughfare known
as the lcknield way. The catacomb is
bell shaped, about twenty-five feet high
and fifty feet in circumference.
A platform three feet wide and from
six to eight inches in height runs round
the chamber, and from this, to height
of eight feet, the walls are covered
with quantity sculptured FORMS. Fig
ures recalling strange legends and his.
to1ical associations are mingled with
kings, queens, crusaders, and heroes OF
bible story. One group of figures rep
resents the crlcifiXion; another illus
trates the sufferirgs of st. Catherine
In one tableau she is represented stand
ing at the entrance of a gloomy prison
in another she is seen lying down or
the prison floor with her head upon q
pillow. Other wall pictures represen,
the holy family, the conversion of Saul
the shrines of John the Baptist, ant
Thomas Beckett.
st. Catherine reappears holding &
lwheel-emblematic of her martyriom-
| and st. Lawrence is represented will
the gridiron on which his earthly career
is said to have ended. Among histori
cal figures are representations of Henry
II. with his queen and their favoritt
son, Richard l.
! Authorities differ as to whether this
extraordinary relic is of Roman OF
British origin. 1t appears at one time

Remark able Bill introduced
Into the >enate by
Mr.. Mitchell.
Mesmerism, Etc, Punishable by
Imprisonment for Life
or $1,000 Fine.
Occult Practice Of the Orient
Being Preletrated in
this Country.

ashnSton, Dec. Ex-senator Mitch
Gil, OF Oregon, introduced, by request,
today somewhat remarkable bill. 1t
Is intended TO prohibit electromagnetic
izlns, mesmerzlns, OF hypnotizmg hu-
man beings, or effecting one person
through another by electricity" The
bill declares such practice by any per
son or persons upon the high seas or in
amy river within the maratine jurisdic-
| ton of the United States OF within the
District OF Columbia or any OF the ter
rltol1es Il crime punishable by death.
This penalty is to be imposed upon any
person who applies Il current OF cleo
tricity to another or exercises the power
OF meSlnerlsm or hypnonSm over an
| other; and those persons who have
knowledge of such Il crime and neglect
days may be punished by imprison
ncnt for life and by 4 tine OF not less
| than $1,000. The bill, il is understood
originated with S. Heylenfeldt, Jr., OF
California, and i'll Il long petition which
accompanies the bill the author OK
plains what he considers the need fol
its enactment into law. He says the
magic, sorcery, and mystery of the
middle ages have been revived in Amer
ica with Il more scientific knowledge OF
electroloSy.
There are systems,' he says, (which
prevail among lnaSnctizerS and theo
Sophical sections OF transferring 1ht
magnetism of others, thus weakening
the understanding and disturbing TIL,
concentration of thought by depicting
the brain" He says Ill the evil occult
practices of the orient, such us demon
oltgy, fetichism and dcrvishisIn, vii
soon be introduced in this country, will
ruinous results to American morals ant
intellect, unless some stringent prohib
tive law is Immediately enacted. Tha
this is why he asks the early considerl
ton of the measure introduced ut hi
request by Senator Mitchell.
