Two Letters.

An industrious young man who looks
after the correspondence in a Wall street
banking house is an adept and enthusi-
astic manipulation of a typewriUing ma
chine. His sister, self reliant girl of
more than ordinary cleverness, is en-
ployed as a stenographer and typewriter
in a large manufacturing establishment
in Buffalo. The young man mailed a
bulky letter a. isss sister, with whom he
is fond of joking, and as smart re-
minder of April FOOLS day he inclosed two
large sheets of foolscap paper. On one
sheet he wrote, "Ha! ha! He! he. April
l." and the other sheet contained the
words, Now you owe me a good long
letter-a long one, mind you" A few
days ago this funny young man received
an express package on which 40 cents
charges were due. 1t looked like small
can of tea, but when opened proved to
be a roll of ribbon paper about 10 yards
long, on which, in closely written char
acters, was long and friendly message
from the sister in Buffalo.-New York
Times.

In a Whales Belly.

A correspondent who says that he once
spent three-quarters of an hour in a
whales belly thus relates the strange
adventure: The good ship Europa, on
which l sailed as cabin boy, was an
chored off the coast of Lower California.
We had taken a number of whales and
were at work trying the oil out of the
blubber cut from the whales lying along
side. To get at the fat inside the whales
we were cutting off the ends of two or
three ribs and hosting them up from the
whales body.
This left an opening large enough for
a person to crawl into the whale and
strip off the fat, which was sent on deck
in buckets. We were short handed, and
the captain told me to go down into the
whale and strip off the fat. Boylike,
jumped at the chance.
had not been at work long before
heard one of the sailors sing out: ''Pull
the boy out of the whale. The tackle
falls are stranding"
l had a small monkey rope" tied
around my waist. The other end was
on the vessels deck. At the sailors cry
the captain jumped and grabbed it to
pull me out, but it was too late. The
tackle fall snapped in two, the ribs
closed together, and 1, like Jonah of old,
was shut up i'll a whales belly.
When the ribs came together, they
closed upon a toggle or pin used ON the
tackle. This pin had come out and
caught between the ribs. Through it
small hole for reefng rope had been
bored, and solely by means of this hole,
which enabled me to breathe, my life
was saved
All was confusion on the ships deck.
The men dared not use their sharp cut
ting spades to make another incision for
fear of injuring me. The tears were
rolling down old Captain C-'s face.
One of the men jumped ON the whale,
and shouted through the hole in the
toggle that was all right. Then there
was great rejoicing. The old captain
jumped ON the whale himself, and with
small sheathknife cut away at the
flesh until he came to my body.
Great care had to be exercised not to
disturb the toggle, for they knew was
breathing through it. At length the
hole was large enough for me to crawl
through, and came on deck, sick and
weak from my experience. - Youths

A Model of All the Oceans.

A miniature representation Of all the
oceans and seas as well as their tides and
currents is feature of the photographic
display at the Worlds fair This model,
which all must confess must be of great
practical value, if not of scientific inter-
est, is huge tank, made so as to repre-
sent the surface of the earth spread ont
over an area of about 30 feet square. The
oceans, seas and lakes, which of course
are the main objects thus displayed, are
represented by real water Through
these at proper intervals smaller streams
of water are elected, the idea being to
represent the different currents just as
they flow in nature
The direction of these currents is shown
by streaks of white powder ON the sur
face. In order that the whole may be
better understood, Il large map will be
placed within handy reach, with a man
to explain the force, volume, etc, of the
various ''arteries of the deep" 1t is ex-
pected that this display will be an in
valuable object lesson to those who have
never looked into such matters and whose
time and opportunities will not admit of
personal investigatiOn.-St Louis Re

If for anybody, life must be a horrid
grind for poor old Peter Bennett of
Plymouth, the miser whose $32, 800 was
spirited away by burglars two or three
years ago. Poor old Peter has been in
hot water ever since and is now poorer
than ever. After his wife died Peter
decided his farm and stock to his stepson
on the condition that he peter should
have good care and support during the
remainder of his life Now the old man
claims that he has been neglected and ill
treated and the bargain has been broken.
He has gone to the home of relatives for
shelter for the present and promises to
appeal to the courts. "A Humble Trag-
edy'' might be made of the singular ad-
venture of Peter Bennett, and it would
be one of the most peculiar stories ever
told.-Lewiston Journal.

THE ICE CREAM CURE.
sSnatched From the Brink of the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.

;snatched From the Brink of the Grave by
This Easily Taken Remedy.
A man who is run down in health or
who fines disease fastening itself upon
his vitals usually tries to save himself by
some form of exercise that yields no
profit. Hunting, fishing, boating, box
ing, lawn tennis, horseback riding and
swinging the dumbbells are frequently
tried in vain endeayor to regain the fast
decreasing strength.
Jim Tobin, one of our most industri-
GUS farmers, was confined to the house
for some weeks last summer afflicted
with stomach trouble that almost baf-
fled medical skill. 1t was found that no
food except ice cream could be retained
long enough to be digested. He confined
himself to that diet and was soon able to
take some exercise. But he engaged in
none of the unremunerative fashionable
fads mentioned above. He preferred
something financially profitable as well
as physically beneficial and used his
muscles in performing the lighter forms
of farm work. For several weeks he
continued this sensible course, combining
himself strictly to an ice cream diet. He
soon found that his former strength and
vigor had returned, and he was able to do
asmuch as ever-an amount more than is
accomplished by the average man.
At the Tobin home gallon of rich ice
cream is frozen regularly as morning
comes. This work is part Of the regular
routine of breakfast getting. The amount
mentioned is sufficient for the day. Mr.
Tobin never eats IS than quart of the
dainty food at q Zeal and frequently re-
quires more than nat amount, although
seldom indulging in so much as half a
gallon. He diges it readily and enjoys
it. He could probably take other kinds
of food now, but has suffered so much
from indigestion that he thinks it best
to leave well eno,- III alone
Since the 18th { last July he has eaten
nothing but ice c.. am. On that date he
weighed 40 pounl,s and was hardly able
to walk. Now he tips the beam at 210
and works early and late. This gain of
20 pounds of flesh and the complete res
toration of his strength on diet Of fro
zen cream, eggs and sugar is something
remarkable, but it is the simple truth as
we got it from Mr.. Tobin's own Iips,
Those who see him-the perfect repre-
sentative of man in rugged health, with
sinewy build and almost tireless strength
would hardly suspect the modesty of
his meals and hardly credit the story
when it is told them.
Of course there is much monotony in
his meals, but he contents himself with
his dish of cold comfort, and for dessert
shifts the aroma and odor OF the victuals
on the table. He is satisfied with health
and strength and says the medicine is
not bad to take.-Lagoda Leader.

New Gun For the British,

A new wire quick firing 6-inch gun
has just been adopted for the British
naval service. 1t has successfully passed
exhaustive trials. 1t is long gun of
about 40 calibers and weighs seven tons.
1t carries an elongated shot of 100 pounds
q distance of 1000 yards and will strike
an enemy's ship or fortifcation four
miles distant. 1t is so rapid i'll its action
that, fired with cOrdite at long range
it has three or four shots i'll sc air at
the same time. Each weapon contains
several miles of wire, it having been
found that gun made up of this wire is
stronger than when manufactured Of
homogeneous metal. Wire is also found
to stand the first shock of the elastic
force of cordite or gunpowder better
than iron or steel, while the long bore
enables the whole of the charge to be
consumed. Chicago Tribune.
