THE WHALE.
Once Upon n Time II Had Four Legs
and Lived Upon the Land.

Australia is set i'm the midst Of whale
frequented sea, and il IS but natural,
therefore, that Sydney should have the
best collection of whales in the world
An observer Of the natural history OF
the whale writes from there: The whale
is not a fish at all It Is warm-blooded.

NAL 1t has descended from a family
which ''oncc upon a time had four legs
and lived upon the land The law of ma
ture is that if any organ IS not used II
becomes atrophied. useless and finally
disappears. If 2. man uses his tongue too
much and neglccts his brain the latter
will become atrOphied. We can sec that
law working today in New South Wales.
The whale family found the life was
too hard on shore. SO the members took
TO the sea 4 tail was of more service
there than hind LEGS. 80 the hind legs
gradually went out of fashion, and tho
tail deve loped enormously Then the
fore paws were gradually modified into a
monster fin.
The first time 7 noticed anything pc
c1lliar about a whale was Off the coast
of Peru a good many years ago We
had harpooned a large sperm whale that
had a calf with her. and the whole de-
sire of the mother whale appeared to DO
10 save her babe. which was between
twelve and fifteen feet long. When the
mother rose 10 the surface. gaspines for
air she tried TO get the baby onto her
great fin and carry her away from the
cruel hunters. but the rope attached to
the harpoon kept her back. She had to
give way 10 the merciless power of her
pursuers. and her frantic efforts on be-
half Of her babe only FASTENED her own
doom. After she had covered the sea
with blood and foam and lay Fin up in
death the little one came alongside Of the
dead mother and rubbed its nose against
the smooth. black skin and whistled pitt
fully TO the one that would answer
nevermore.
When we had planted our flag on the
dead mothers body and cut loose from
our harpoon it became necessary to kill
the little one. y protest arose from all
the crew, for we were human beings,
with hearts as tender as other people,
and we were touched at the sight of the
| baby whales grief, but we had 10 sub
nit to see il harpOoned. for its own sake
Il had lost the school of whales now
to which its mother belonged and il
would be starved 10 death on the track

to the swOrdfish. thrashers, sharks or
other pirates of the sea.

How English Women Dict.

Over in England, where for six months

ing at each others houses the fatal pen
atty Of obesity follows the luxurious
style Of living, and nobody can keep
slender except by artificial means. The
women rise late. and perhaps are driven
TO the race course or to luncheon with
the shooters. Returning home, they do
a little needlewOrk or write letters or
play some light game until teatime, after
which they read or talk until dinner,
where the inexOrable custom Of cham
payne, the temptations thrown in their
way by an excellent chef, the fatal fruits
and lqueurs, all tend toward their ruin.
And after dinner il is quite on the cards
that a belated game of poker may lead
10 the further indiscretiOn of a little
supper before retiring. OF course the re-
suit Of all this feasting IS one which

Table Screens.

Small table screens of threefold form,
with panels Of celluliOd, are the newest
invention for the preservation of the
eyes. They are very dainty, charming
trifes, with white enameled frames and
panels, on which flowers are painted. and
they serve to shield the eyes without en-
tirely cutting off the light. They can be
easily shifted and moved about TO suit
the varying necessities of the individual
who never occupies a single chair for
any length of time. and they are ex-
tremely pretty in themselves, so that
they serve a double end. The very fact
that they stand upon the table and are
not connected with the lamp is an adj
vantage, for they so shield the eyes Of
one without robbing others of the group.
