THE STORMY PETREL.
The Remarkable Endurance of ar
Ocean Bird.
New YORK Commercial Advertiser.

New YorE Commercial Advertiser.
During recent Tip across the Atlantic
the passengers on one steamer had vivid
Illustration Of the endurance of the stormy
petrol. Shortly after the ship left the Irish
coast two or three of these birds were
sighted OF the stern OF the ship.
One had been caught at some previous
time, and its captor tied bit of red fam ell
or ribbon round its neck and let it go. The
bit OF red made the bird very conspicuous
and il could be easily Identified.
That bird, with others that could not be
so easily distinguished. followed the ship
clear across the ocean. Rarely, during the
daytime at least, was il out of sight, and II
for an hour or two it was lost to view while
feeding on the refuse cast overheard, it
SOou reappeared, aud the last seen of it was
within few miles of Sandy Hook. when il
disappeared, perhaps TO follow some out
ward-bOund steamer back TO Ireland.
When the fact is considered that the ship,
day and night went at an average speed of
twenty miles an hour, the feat performed
by the daring traveller eau be better appre-
ciated. When or how 1t rested is inexpli-

The Use of MentIroi.

The medicinal use of menthOl in China
and Japan goes back into the dateless ages.
Isolated references TO It's application in the
East are met with here and there in the
records of western travellers in those parts,
but, SAYS the Chemist and Druggist. we
shall probably never know the name Of Its
discoverer or the early history Of its intro
duction. We 10 not even know with abso-
lutte certainty when and by whom menthol
crystals were first brought to the notice Of
European pharmaco logists. 1t is said that
they were used pharmaceutieally on the
Continent as long ago as the end of the last
century. but if that statement is capable of
proof the drug must have fallen into OBJ
livion shortly after its Introduction, for IL
was certainly utterly unknown, even by re-
pute, to most persons in the drug trade

Postage Stamps in Russia.

was explained quite inadequately by a

Clerical Positions.

Rightly or wrongly, it seems to be as.
sumed that the Germans, partly because
of their plodding habits partly on ac-
count of their linguistic accomplish
ments, are more fitted for clerical posi-
tions than tine average Euglishmen. Well,
why not accept that fact? If the Ger
mans want to be clerks then by all
means let them be clerks, and leave the
Englishman under the pressure of neces-
sity TO carve out some nobier career for
himself. For what is clerkdom, what
are its prospects and its influences? |
speak from experience, and assert that
it is a wretched leveling down, ambition
crushing existence. Sooner than be a
clerk would say to any young man be
ginning life, be an artisan-whose honest
toll offers future of happiness wholly
denied to the down at heel clerk. Yet it
is not difficult to understand why young
men become clerks
1t is supposed to be gentlemaHly pro
fession, but the black coat, the top hat
and the incipient mustache may all be
taken rs the signs of shabby gentiiity.
The veneer of responsibility is very thin.
l remember once being sadly taken down
by a vender of razors who stood with his
stock in trade outside the bankers clear
ing nouse in passage off Lombard
street asked him for strop. Said
he grufiiy: lit viii cost you shillings,
A steak would do you more good" And
the man was right. did not forget the
lesson, and | ceased to be a clerk as soon
as could, but it was trial to my feel
ings to be deprived of the genteel air of
the city and to earn my bread amid less
pretentious surroundings,-Cor. LaSlon

famous eccentric character of Widow

Tuesday, April IL, supported by one of
the largest company of players now
upon the road.
Aside from Mr.. Sheridan, in his in
comparable specialties, will be seen
the Yum-Ki-POo troupe of japanese
dancers; Messrs. Marion and Post, the
popular grotesque song and dance
artists; Miss Grace Whiteford, whose
reputation in England and Australia
as soubrette of excellence and ability
is unparalleled; Mile. Blanche Siegfist,
the famous Partisan vocalist and
danseuse, and one of the handsomest
costumed ladies upon the stage. Mile.
Siegrist's costumes are marvels of mil
liners art and science. She is also con-
sidered the peer of the celebrated
French artists, Vanoni and Fougerre,
to whom she is related.
Other members of this large cast dis
play their abilities in numerous special
ties entirely new and novel in this
country, and the entertainment, as a
whole, adds new life and brings once

There are stores ia the city where even
ing dresses are rented. They are made
up handsomely. with the skirt all I'm
ished except the waistband, and with
the waist itself basied together instead
of stitched. The woman who desires to
rent the costume can have the waist
fitted. 1t is fitted and prepared for her
in way that does not preclude the pos
sibility Of its becoming retitted for others
for other occasions. She rents it for the
evening, paying $40 or Sl5, returns it in
the morning with the consciousness that
she looked at the ball Just as well as her
millionaire neighbOr
1t is rather a severe thing to assert,
but these trades people do not hesitate to
say that men are responsible for the
starting in of this custom Of renting fin
cry. They say that wives caught the
idea from their husbands, who make a
practice of renting dress suits instead of
owning them. Everybody knows that it
is quite common thing for man to hire
dress suit for the one or two times a
year when some occasion demands of
him this respect to conventionahty, yet
suppose this same man would be the first
to condemn this folly in his wife--if he
knew it.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Black Cat Farm. .

II had heard of skunk farms, rattle

farming line, d" said Nick Hansen yester-
day TO a party of friends who were con-
gregated about the stove in the court of
the Exchange building. but l never
heard of black cat farm until l went
out TO Washington. The year that |
went out there Jim Wardner, an old
timer who used to stage it with Fred
Evans in the early days, and who is quite
well known to many Sioux Gtyans, con-
ceived the idea Of raising black cats for
their fur, and proceeded TO organize a
stock company to push the enterprise
"A company was organized with a cap
ital stock Of 100000, and an island of
about 1000 acres in extent located in
Bellingham bay in the upper part of
Puget sound was obtained to carry on
the farming. Then a grand skirmish
was made to get black cats. The Pacific
coast states were ransacked, and nearly
every incoming train was loaded with
black cats, which were Immediately TAX
en- TO the island or cat factory, as we
called it. They were in charge of a num-
Der of men, who furnished them with
food by seine fishing in the bay, and a
certain number were killed during the
year TO pay the current expenses. When

s., and the company was making a mint
of money. Cats furmakes up elegantly

Carrier Pigeons

A French army surgeon, NJ. Stroebel,
recently read paper before the
Academic de Medicine, demonstrating
that one carrier pigeon is capable of
carrying five or six tubes of vaccine. If
an epidemic of smallpox should break
out in besieged city, deprived Of all
communication with the rest of the
country, the advantage of thus utiliz-
ing pigeons can well be imagined. In
Edinburgh the evening papers have a
trained service of carrier pigeons for
use at 0ut-Of-the-way meetings.
