PoLy1toT wAt..lNo Crews.
Queer Crowds That Tackle Months n
iIard work In the Arctic.

The crew of Il Mbaler is one OF the
curiosities of the sea, and is composed
of almost every nationality under the
sun except Americans. When cap
tain is shipping crew for whaling
cruise he never inquiries for sailors.
The class of men he looks for are those
who can be broken in 10 boat-pnllng
and who win be content with usage
and rations that he knows no sailor
would submit 10 for single day.
Young. strong. able fellows, who have
been steering mules and working on
ranches all their lives, are the men the
whaling skipper prefers, and the ones
he generally gets, if he can. Enough
of these are taken on board at San
Francisco, says the Chronicle, to work
the ship down to the Hawaiian Islands,
when most Of them desert, and then
the real work of picking crew is
done.
South Sea Islanders. negroes, In
dians from Alaska, Germans, Russian
Fins, Mexicans and Chileans are the
men drawn upon TO fill the crews In
Honolulu. OF course, many of them
have been whaling before and are good
oarsmen, but not one in twenty can tie
a reefknot or steer ship within half
a dozen points OF her course in any
weather.
The dress of the men is as varied as
their nationality, and while not very
clean is often picturesque. Deerskin
coats and caps, with canvas trousers
and sealskin sea boots, is favorite
costume with whaler when he can
secure them, but nearly every man in
the forecastle Of blubber hunter car
ries his entire wardrobe on his back.
even while the vessel is in the tropics.
The men who landed from the
whaling fleet at San Francisco recent
ly attracted attention even on the
city front. Every whaler that came
in had from twenty to thirty men in
her forecastle and they lost no time in
getting ashore, for there is little or no
cooking done on whaler after her
anchor il let 90 inside the Golden
Gate and a whaler's crew is always
hungry. They roamed about the city
front in squads, clad in their heavy
skin coats and queer-looking Indian
boots. Big, powerful fellows with
dark, swarthy faces and little or no
money coming to them walked from
clearinghouse to clearinghouse in
search Of proprietor who would
take them in. Some succeeded in find.
ing quarters. but those who had ma
hi jney coming to them had hard
time Of il, for sailors are drug on the
market at the present and the whaling
feet viii not begin to fit out again nm
til next spring. Those who have mon
ey coming TO them found any number
Of boarding masters ready TO take
them in, but rs most Of the vessels had
poor season. il will take no great
amount of money to pay off the crews,
and it is safe TO say that not one man
out Of every ten will receive enough to
pay months board. and that, OF
course, will go TO the boarding mas
t1rs.

waste leather, no matter how old. de-

ing to be utilized in the making of
yarn, says the BaitctiR. a process has
been introduced by Fitchburg inven-
tor for reducing old leather 10 pulp,
aud then drawing the pulp down to a
thread. The work Is dene by the use
Of a vacuum bleacher, grinding ma

leather strand frompulp. Theyacnum
blearher is kettlealrangenlcnt, from
which the air is pumned after the
leather is put in. Then ingredients
arc introduced which cleanse the oil
and other foreign matter from the
leather The next process consists in
running the cleaned pieces Of leather
through machine made like Il grind
er. In this the pieces are ground to u
pulp by revolving blades. Next the
powder-ike stuff is mixed with water
and allowed 10 stand till 1t becomes
about he consistency Of melted glur.
Then it is poured into a tank in which
there are series OF holes side by side.
As the pulp energies from these holes

The rubbing process serves to separate

rub rollers they are run through
grooved wheels, in which press

strands, thus further solidifying the

wound upon a bobbin.

JONES KNOWS NOW.

Gov.Jones Of Alabama is evidently a
true Bourbon with all the instincts and
the insolence of the Southern slave
holder before the war; In Gov.Jones's
opinion elections in Alabama, though
the representation of the State in both
houses of Congress be involved, are
purely local affairs, and for an outsider
to interfere in them by way of presenting
arguments to the voters or in any 9TH
er manner, is an impudent performance
calling for rehuke. 1t seems that the
Home Market Club recently determined
to assist Kolb in his Fl ,ht against the
straight Democrats of Alabama. Senator
Hoar wrote a letter approving of the
movement and extending to it his SYM
parhy. The letter came to the ears of
Jones, whereupon Jones Immediately
took his pen in hand and demanded" of
Senator Hoar to know if the letter was
genuine. Evidently Jones hoped that
the Senator would evade answering or
would make some apology for expressing
an opinion in regard to the politics of
The Portland daily press., 1894-03-29

the realm over which Jones is now
ruling. But he has found out that
he was mistaken. His letter had been
public but very few hours when Sena-
tor Hoar telegraphed to him the follow
ing response:
The letter printed in the New York
Sun is genuine. l have no concern in
your local affairs. But when Alabama
elects senator's or representatives whose
votes may bring ruin to the industries
and misery to the homes of New Eng
land we have the right as American
citizens. to address arguments to Ala-
bama to show her that her interests are
the same as ours and to urge her that
her better, truer voice shall be uttered
and not stifed. We claim the same right
to do what we honestly may to submit
our cause to our brethren of Alabama,
as to the people of Massachusetts. No
person in Massachusetts, as far as [
money for any other purpose than to
submit arguments to your people on
national questions. Whether your seat
was gained by other means than an hon
est and fair vote of your people, you
know, and Alabama must settle for her
self. I say nothing in my letter Oh the
subject.
Jones's attempt to bulldoze Senator
H oar has proved, as even Jones himself
will be able to discover, fat failure.
Not only does the Senator acknowledge
the authenticity of the latter, but he
maintains it's propriety on unanswerable
grounds. At every campaign Southern
Democrats perambulate the North tell
ing the people how to vote. Nobody
accuses them of interfering with mat
tiers that do not concern them. But
when Northern man attempts to offer
advice to Southern voters he is accused of
interfering with matters that are none
of his business 1t is high time that the
South learned to he tolerant. 1t is high
time that bumptious Bourbons like
Jones of Alabama were taught that
Southern States, like Northern States,
are merely parts of the Union, and
that the character and results of their
elections are matters that rightfully
concern not only themselves but North
ern States as we'll,

About two months ago, at Mr.. Glad
stones request, his medical adviser
made thorough examination of him.
According to the Lancet the physician
was able to report at it's close that the
ex-premier is a wonderfully strong and
healthy man for his age, with a vigorous

In reply to questions Mr.. Gladstone said
he sleeps we'll nights and takes the live

The Prince of Wales is still fond of
Paris Labouchere reports, but since the
death Of his Oldest son seems to have lost
relish for most of his old amusements
there. Nowadays he strolls along the
boulevards, looks in the shop windows,
has good dinner. and goes to the
theatre. He retains his old admiration
for Sardou, but does not despise the
lighter work of the younger playwrights.
The celebrated Colonel Fitzhuah of
Dallas, Tex, who years ago slipped up

"A friend of the late r. M. Ballantyne,
the well known author of boys books
of adventure, says that he always got
his material from first hands. His first
story, "The Young Fur Traders" he
wrote after spending six years in the
wilderness of North America. He went
to Algiers and wrote 1.-The Pirate City;"
he spent couple of weeks on the North
Sea with the deep-sea fishermen, and
wrote "The Young Trawler;;" he sat up

Prof. Victor Horsley of London asserts
that trephining was done in the stone

there was nothing better than bone
