WHALE FISHING.
Rules Regarding this Sport That Every
Boy should Know.

Rules Regarding this Sport That Every
Boy should Know.
!. Never fish for whales in trout streams,
unless you have n good strong derrick
with which to land such OF the monsters
as may nibble at your hook.
III. Never attempt to catch whales with
hooks made of bent pins. They only ag-
gravate the whales.
Ill. Angle worms are not considered
good bait for whales, but IL you can find
no other bait, see to it that the worms
are mt least sixty-eight feet in length, and
weigh not less than two tons.
Nv. When you have landed q whale, do
not, under any circumstances, attempt to
preserve ii alive by putting 1t into pail,
which only necessarily prolongs its suf-
ferings.
V. Whales weighing under four tons
should be thrown back, in order that they
may grow larger. The reason for this is
that the larger a whale grows, the more
valuable he becomes.
vi. II a whale when about to be landed
manages to get away from you, do not try
to restrain him by throwing a net over
him, or by jumping into the stream and
climbing on his back.
VII. When a whale blubbers, do notthink
he is crying because he is afraid of being
caught. That isn't why whale blubbers
at all. 1t Is only a sign that he is laugh
ing at you. Boys blubber when they are
unhappy. Whales do it because they are
amused.
VIII. Do not go hunting for whales
simply because you are out of kerosene
oil. There are no kerosene-oi whales,
and IL this is your purpose, your are sim
ply wasting time that might better be
spent learning how to read Latin and
Greek.
TX. Do not think because a whale wags
his tail that he is pleased to see you. Just
as his blubbering is sign of his amuse-
ment, SO is his wagging tail sign OF his
wrath.
X. To attempt to catch whales with
lasso isgreat folly unless you are anxious
to get bath, and know that you will
neverenter the water of your own accord.
XI. Don't fish for whales, anyhow. 1t
is dangerous sport for boys.-Harper's
Young People.

IL was Father. Whipping. Hurt.

IL was Fathers Whippings Hurt.
We used to sneak of swimmin' in those
careless, boyish days,
And come back home OF evenings with
our necks and backs ablaze;
How mother used to wonder why our
clothes were full of sandl
But father, having been a boy, appeared
to understand.
And, after tea, he'd beckon us to join him
in the shed,
Where he'd proceed to tinge our backs q
deeper, darker red;
Say what we will of mothers, there Is
none will controvert
The proposition that our fathers lickings
always hurt!
For mother was by nature SO forgiving
and 80 mild
That she inclined to spare the rod
although she spoiled the child;
And when at last in self defence she had
to whip us, she
Appeared to feel those whippings great
deal more than we!
But how we beloved and took on, as II
we'd like to die
Poor mother really thought she hurt, and
that's what made her cry!
Then how we youngsters snickered as out
the door we slid,
For mothers whippings never hurt,
though father always did.-Eugene
Field.

Handy and Econ omic.

II there is any economical woman who
has not yet bought q soap shaker-a little
wire cage with a handle, into which
scraps of soap too small for ordinary use
may be kept, let her be about the pur-
chase at once. The thin shavings Of soap
left over from the washboard and scrub
bing brush can thus be saved and util-
lied. When the little wire ball is dipped
into pan of warm water ready for wash
ing dishes-much in the same manner
that a silver tea ball is dipped into its
cup of hot water-a delightful state Of
s1dsiness results, and who can compute
how much soap is saved?

A MOTHERS 'SPONSIBILITlES.

'Tis dreadful 'sponsibility
To bring up dollies right,
And reilly thought this mornin'
My bang was turnin' white.
My Della Carolina
Is a very lovely child,
But her brother, Alessander!l
He nearly drives me wild.
Now that nau ghty Alessander
Called his sister " Red head twice;
So sat him down emphatic,
And gave him this advice:
Respeck your sisters feelin's;
You're not behavin' we'll"
But he made funny face, and said,
"Then I'll call her Auburn DELL"
And when Sisted firmly
He should call her Caro-my
He said that's short for carrot-top,
And he's 'fraid 'twould make her cry
But made him wear his sisters dress
Until he went to bed,
And he promised that he'd never 'lude
To auythin' that's red.

LIME WATER.
A Valuable Addition to MIX I'm th'
summer Season.

A Valuable Addition to MIX I'm the
summer season.
At the opening OF summer, 1t Is well to
call attention to the value OF lime-water.
This is a simple remedy for many summer
evils of the household, and is easily pre-
pared.
A teaspoonful of lime water added to a
glass of milk corrects the tendency which
milk has to coagulate in the stomach,
forming a hard, indigestible mass. For
this reason, it is frequently ordered by
physicians to be added to the nursing
bottle of children in summer. II is USE
full for rinsing out nursery bottles; and
as a mild disinfectant, it is one OF the
safest we have.
To prepare it, place layer OF unslaked
lime in a wide mouthed jar, and I'LL 1t
with pure, cold water. The druggist uses
filtered water for this purpose. Lime
makes what the chemist calls saturated
solution in water, and, therefore, there Is
no danger OF putting too much lime in
the water. The water will take up only
SO much lime.
When the water has stood few hours
1t will have absorbed all the lime 1t is ca
pable Of receiving. 1t may then be drained
of and more water added till the lime is
absorbed. II you are inclined to acidity
of the stomach in the summer, II Is q
good plan to add little lime water to the
water that you drink.-N. Y. Tribune.

DUN T MAKE NE LAUSH oO'
"The first time ever heard her speak
was one day when was talking to the
maid at the bottom OF the stairs, and
heard what l then considered to be a
child call out, Payne Cthe maids name),
am not well-I am not well!' On my
saying, What's the matter with
that chiid?' she replied, its only
the parrot! She always does SO when
leave her alone, to make me come back.
So it proved, for on her going into the
room the parrot stopped, and then
began laughing quite in a jeering manner.
1t is singular enough that when she Is
affronted in any way, she begins to cry;
and, when pleased, to laugh. II anyone
happens to cough or sneeze, she says,
What a bad coldp One day when the
children were playing with her, the maid
came into the room, and, on their repeat
ing to her several things which the parrot
had said, Poll looked up and said in a
rage, No didn't!

CHILDREN'S SUMMER SHOES.
The Best Kind for Growing Girls-How
to Restore Russet Leather.

The Best Kind for Growing Girls-How
TO Restore Russet Leather.
When brown leather looks very shabby
thin coat Of brown shellac, diluted with
alcohol, will prove to be wonderful re-
storative. This should not, however, be
applied too often, as it will tend to stiffen
the leather. Afterward it may be kept
looking very well by rubbing with vase
line.
Children have way in the summer OF
running all leather, whether black or
brown, and many a mother has sighed for
some utterly indestructible material for
ot-covering. Cowhide Is really tho
best; but even that becomes wofully
scratched by the briars, ETC., and is, more
over, very heavy for summer.
The children themselves fairly revel in
the comfortable and moccasin-like tennis
shoes; but girls, especially, should not be
allowed to wear them except on the
tennis ground, as they broaden the feet,
and are apt to give very awkward gait.
Low shoes, too, are not desirable on this
account. A light laced russet shoe is the
thing, par excellence, for growing girls
in the summer. Very good pastes, Of
various kinds, come to keep them in order,
and when they grow very shabby then
use the shellac.

To Tell Good MILK.

Good milk should have the following
properties: 1t must be Of slightly yellow
ish color, not blush, and greasy film
should adhere to the glass contaiHing it.
1t must be absolutely sweet. On boiling,
no disagreeable odor must be given of
with the steam, and no separation or
thickening take place. On standing for
some time In glass or bottle, no sedi-
ment or PARTICLES of foreign matter must
settle out.

One That Could Make You Believe IL

Among some parrot stories recently
published in the Strand Magazine Is one
which tells OF Poll who could mimic
laughter or sorrow. The owner OF the
bird says:
"Her laugh is quite extraordinary, and
IL is impossible not to join In II oneself,
more especially when, in the midst OF 1t,
she cries out, 'Don't make me laugh sol
i shall diei shall diet and then con-
tinues laug ching more violently than be-
fore. Her crying and sobbing are curious,
and IL you say, Poor Poll! What is the

such coldp and after crying for some
time will gradually cease, and making a
noise like drawing a long breath, say,
Better now and begin to laugh.
