He could not do So even if he were so disposed, as his gullet is only large enough to admit a good sized herring. The sperm whale could swallow a man fl he desired to do so, but he is no more inclined to swallow a man-particu- larly with his clothes on-than you would be to swallow a small bird with it's feathers. But he will crush you in his ponderous jaws if he is a fighting bull, and eject you in detail.
 He will also chew up and spit out pieces of the demolished boat, break up the wooden utensils floating upon the water and fight every piece of wood until more than seven baskets of fragments may be taken up, and having tired himself out in this way he will lay of, angrily shaping the water with his fins, and challenge some other boats, or perhaps, in rare cases, attack the vesseL-J.

Japanese Laundry Ideas.

The Japanese washing day has many features peculiar to that pecul- jar land First of all, the garments which are to be washed are ripped apart. as they are sewn with long stitches like bGsting. expressly to fa- cilitate this operation. No hot water is ever used, washboards, set tubs and and all other fittings which are considered indispensable by the American woman, are conspicuous by their absence. The little tub, which is about as large as adish pan, sits upon the floor or the ground, and the operative, armed with piece of soap, the cold water and her bare hands. does the laundering.
 It scarcely need be said that it is not an easy or enjoyable task. Jap anese dirt is just as adherent in its nature as Yankee dirt and leaves the garment just as reluctantly. Most of the work k done beside the streams or the water supply, whatever 1t may be. and such a thing as a laundry room in connection with the dwell ing has yet to be thought of, much more adopted The fiatiron is also unknown The clothes are spread smoothly upon large boards, similar to the common ironing board, and the hot sun can generally be depend cd upon to get one article dry by the time the next is ready to take it's place. -GoOd Housekeeping.

DEATH OF A KNOWING CAT.
AConuectseut Feline That Was UniversAIl,

 Tommy Tucker is no more. Hart ford's well known cat bid farewell to earth after an eventful life of 1S years. Few cats enjoy the honorable career that had been the lot of Tommy Tucker. When a little mite of a kit ten, with no claim to pedigree and with no home, he wandered into the paper warerooms of E. Fuckers Sons, on Trumbull street. He made friends, and from that day until his death he found a comfortable home.
 Only once in all his life did he leave his home for brief interval Two years ago he was locked out one night. Not appreciating what he considered an injustice, he started for the home of Mir. Tucker on Ed wards street. He failed to reach the home of bis master, and also lost his bearings as to the location of the store. For seven days he was not seen at the warerooms, when he was returned by lady who found him and recognized him as Tommy Tucker During the seven days he lost seven pounds of flesh. His joy at finding his home was manifested as only cat can show joy.
 Tommy was a handsome cat. He was of the tiger variety, with good showing of long white fur. His nose, breast and front feet were white, which were kept scrupulously clean at all times, as well as the rest of the body. The light and dark marking was sharply defined and the features were strong. The eyes were big and bright as new Columbian half dol lars and the whiskers long. Tommy when in bis prime weighed 17 pounds. In his old age he weighed somewhat less.
 Tommy could perform many tricks and seemed very fond of his ac- complishments. He would shake the hands of visitors and sit up when asked to. He was especially fond of ladies and in suitable weather would sit in front of the store to receive the attentions showered upon him by the admiring passersby. When young Tommy was fed with milk, and each morning bowl was placed in front of the store with cents to pay the milkman, it was the custom of the cat to look into the bowl to make sure that the money was not forgot ten. At times when the dust was blowing cover would be placed over the bowl Tommy was bound to find out if the nickel was in the bowl, and would push thecover of. If the coin was seen, he would rest content until the milkman arrived, but if the bowl was empty he would make the fact known by an unusual activity be- tween the office and the store front.
