in the trough of the sea, apparently I'M
aware of the approach of his enemies. Sc
well-umed was the approach OF the canoes
that they were all within easy reach OF the
whale when the leader gave the signal to
throw the harpoous. In a moment at least
thirty harpoons were sticking from the
shiny back of the whale, and the canoes
shot back out OF reach of the big fukes in
less time than it takes to tell it.
And here comes the strange part of the
performance. Attached to each harpoon
were about 200 feet of line and on the end
of each line were reindeer skins inflated
with air. In one or two instances casks
were attached to the lines. You can i'm
agine the situation. Here was the whale
with enough buoys attached to him to
float a ship, and when he attempted to
sound he would be brought to the surface
again only to receive shower of hand
lances from the canoes. The sport did not
last long, and four hours from the time
the canoes left the beach they towed the
whale in and men and women were at
work cutting him up. ''-Sanf Francssco

Curing n Cold.

The following is the advice given by a
prominent doctor for getting rid of cold
When the first symptoms manifest them
selves is the time for action, and this
should consist OF hot mustard foot bath
before going to bed and a hot draught of
milk. The covering OF the body should be
in linen and wool, the former in the way
of the sheet and the latter in the blanket.
No attempt to get up an active sweating
should be made. The foot bath and the
warm drink will give a sense of warmth
and facilitate the natural excretion of ma
terials which should pass away by the
skin, and any effort to aggravate this viii
be not only superfuous, but harmful.
The blanket should never be worn next
to the night-robe, and should not be so
thick as to confue the air next to the
body. 1t is, indeed, osten advisable to
tighten the covering OF the feet, and to
preserve a certain amount OF weight over
the loins, and to have the shoulders pro-
tected from the external surroundings in
general. The last measure is not to be
moderated. A sensitive lung carries
with it Susceptibility to take to itselfany-
thing that could possibly affect it to its Diet

riment. Lung diseases belong to sensi-
tive persons, and may or may not be the
sequence of s'cold. The majority of
them, however, can be traced to impru.
dence in dress and exposure. Pneumonia,
pleurisy and consumption are partners of
carelessness in the dressing of the chest
and back, and 'scolds,' which might
stop at the throat by little prudence,
are their apprentices. Ii you have uncon
sciously contracted cold and want to get
relief from it, you must, in the first place,
avoid too much medication. A properly
clad skin and a clear digestion ought to
shorten the life of the Hcold.'' If little
comfort can be secured by wearing a
light covering on the head during indoor
hours, it should be respected. Ventila-
ton OF apartments comes in for a slight
amount OF attention, and it should be
simply sufficient to furnish fresh air and
not to produce currents which can be APP
preciated. Nothing is more fallacious
than the belief that health is promoted
and life prolonged by air in excess, and
this is proved by tombstones. There are
a lew good remedies which appeal to us
as matters of tradition. Our grandpar-
ents used them with effect, and we might
follow their example without injury One
of these is sassafras tea, another is bone
set tea and another is SIENNA tea. Zach
has It's office, and each is of value in its
peculiar line, and at the same timd is
harmless. -NelC York LedQer

SIBERIAN HUNTERS.
They Catch Whales by Reindeer Skins
Used as Floaters.

Captain E. j. Clifford of the whaling
bark Triton, which arrived in port on
Friday night, relates the particulars OF an
interesting whale hunt OF which he was a
witness while lying at anchor in small
bay on the east coast. The natives of that
region are people OF low grade ictelli-
gence, their chief employment being the
chase, and this is coafned chiefly to the
pursuit and capture of Inhabitants of
Attic waters that wash the Siberian coast.
While ignorant OF all the attributes of
what we are pleased to call civilization,
these people have become experts in the
vocation that furnishes them with the
necessaries of lie, and their manner OF
capturing the whale might prove profit
able study to masters of the whaling fleet
which annually visit those waters. The
story as told by Captain Clifford is as fol-
lows:
''We had been lying at anchor for sew
eral days in a small and almost land
locked bay, and had done some little
trading with the inhabitants of native
village situated about half a mile inland.
One morning just at daybreak all hands
were awakened by a great hubbub on
shore, the cause of which we soon ascer-
tanned to be the presence of a school of
sperm whales in the offing three or four
miles outside the entrance TO the harDOr.
In an incredibly short space OF time ten
canoes, each containing from six TO eight
natives, put off from the beach and made
straight out toward where an occasional
jet OF water marked the spot where the big
fellows were sporting.
i was good deal puzzled to know
how those fellows were going to capture
one of these huge animals, which is by no
means an easy prey to the best trained
boats crew, supplied as they are with all
the modern appliances. Consequently l
watched their movements with no little
interest.
1.-The boats kept close together and ap-
preached the school with great amount
OF caution. When within about 500 yards
of the nearest whale the canoes separated,
and as the big fellow came up to blow they
rapidly closed in from three sides at once.
The whale by this time was lazily rolling

man who had not been willing to be

Were not deemed too heavy for an old man,

and regeneration their own part could be
but brief one.
For his own share he was there 30 teach
modern history, and he was reminded at
the outset that this was changed too,
that there was no such thing as modern
history. History was one and continu
Gus from the beginning of things. He
never supposed that the human race was
created afresh at the Christian era. Still
ne thought the distinction was a harmless
one. He considered that, without Of
fence. he might still regard the Northern
Invasion as a period when old things
were wound up and new order begun.
Yet, divide history as they would, the
surface was still immense. The modern
side of il embraced the fortunes of man
kind for ], 800 years. Event piled on
event over the whole area of the globe
with no visible adherence or visible pur
pose. To examine it all over in detail, to
learn what the mill ons of millions of
human creatures really did and what
they We're really was obviously impossi-
ble-impossible from the extent of the
subject, and more impossible from The
nature of it, because the inquirer himself
had no fixed period to stand upon.
1t was now seen clearly that each gen
Grafton was necessarily wiser that the
gen Grafton preceding, having inherited
all that there was before, and added it's

say it might be SO. Indisputably, there
was progress OF kind, but he was OBJ
liged to ask, whether? progress nom
what to what? Was it so certain that in
things most essential they were so much
wiser than those who went before them?
He did not believe that the condition of
the people in medieval Europe was so
miserable as pretended. He did not be-
lieve that the distribution of the necess-
aries of life was as unequal as it was at
present, OF liberty. no doubt, there was
a great deal more going now Than there
used to be. In his reading of English
history, there was once warmer relation
between high and low, when each class
thought more of It's duties than its inter-
esUs. and religion which was The same TO
all, was really believed in. Uuder such
conditions inequality was natural and
wholesome. Human society was in
healthy condition when the wise ruled
the ignorant-ruled with equal-handed
authority over high and low, rich and
poor.
