4 FAMOUS CARPENTER.
The Late President of France Was
Tradesman.

q lradeSman.
Not many people knew that M.
Carnot, the late president of the
French republic, was o carpenter
by trade. 1t is true that he did
not, in his mature years, practice
the trade Of q carpenter, but in his
youth he had been taught that hand
icraft, and no doubt might have
exercised it if it had been necessary.
The family of Sadi Carnot's mother
came from the little town of Chaba-
nais, in the Charente, department
of western France.
Though they were people of
means, they believed in Jean Jacques
Rousseau's doctrine that every
child should be taught handicraft,
in order that, in case of adversity,
he may make his way in the world,
and not be burden upon anyone.
In pursuance of their mothers
belief in this principle, young Sadi
Carnot and his brother were put at
work every summer, when they went
to Chabanais, to learn the trade Of
carpentering and joining. 1t was
on mere play, for they we're put
in the midst of working carpenters,
aud their helpers, on actual "iobs, {"
and had to do their share Of the
work.
Nine. Carnot not only insisted
upon this but gave the boys no pref
erence over the other workers, while
they were with them in the matter
of food. They had to eat at the
same table and partake of the same
plain fare.
In this way both boys became at
last practical carpenters. At the
same time they learned to enter into
the feelings Of the laboring people,
and to appreciate their situation;
and there is excellent reason to be-
lieve that the liberal opinions Of the
late president rested in large part
on his practical acquaintance with
the working people.
1t is worth noting that these
working vacations of young Sadi
Carnot were o most agreeable time
to him. He remembered the days
spent at Chabanais with feelings of
delight, and always went there for
rest when occasion offered.
His mother, who is still living,
looked forward with great pleasure
to the expiration Of her sons seven
years Of presidential service, when
she expected to take him to Chaba-
nais, as if he were boy again, and
give him a ''good rest" there. 1t is
quite possible that, if the assassin's
hand had spared him, he might have
found at the carpenters bench de-
lightful relief from the cares of state.

OLD WHALING DAYS.

MOSt OI NeW OoutOTQ 1IooI "eoi''
Comes from, Bones and Blubber.
Down at New Bedford the other
day was much interested in a lot
of old whalers like that we had at
the exposition, which are there tied.
up to the docks to decay. The.
whaling industry was the source Of
great riches to that city until about
1865 or 1866, when the discovery of
petroleum destroyed demand for
fish oil, and the long rows of fine old
colonial mansions down the shaded
streets still furnish evidence of
many profitable voyages. The
whale money that was laid away
still furnishes large incomes to the
heirs of hardy old sea dogs and the
descendants of those who provided
their outfits and shared the results
of their perilous cruises in the Arctic
seas.
New Bedford is said to be the
wealthiest city of it's size in the Unit
ed States, and most of it's capital,
which is estimated at 500, 900, 900,
came from blubber and the bones of
whales. The business began as ear
ly as 1855. and reached it's height in
1860, when there were nearly six
hundred vessels going out from that
port, with more than 10000 sailors
and representing an investment of
more than 100000. The catch
that year was worth nearly s7,0OO,-
900, for then oil sold for $2.75 gal
lon and whalebone for $500
pound. But now the whales in the
northern Atlantic are almost exter-
minated, and the only places where
it is worth while to hunt them are
down around the antarctic circle and
among the seal islands of the North
Pacific.
Many old whalers have been turned
into sealers and now sail from San
Francisco and Portland instead Of
New Bedford. Now there are only
thirty-fve ships from this port en-
gagged in the trade, and less than
nine hundred men. With the COM
petition of petroleum, oil is worth
only 673 cents o gallon, and whale
bone has been largely replaced, as
most of you know, by metallic ap-
pliarlces that make the form divine
diviner still.
The most valuable catch ever made
by whaleship was that of the On
ward, Capt. Allen, which arrived in
New Bedford after a forty-one
months cruise with cargo worth
over $275, 900, of which the captains
share was $3.50 The total value
of the whole product of the whale
brought into New Bedford during
the fifty-two years for which a rec
ord has been kept is more than
$145, 100000.
The average ship, carrying crew
of thirty hands, used to cost about
s35, 1000. The ships were owned by
companies, which supplied pro-
visions and clothing and all the
necessities of the voyage and ad-
vanced certain sums of money for
the captain and his crew to leave
for the support of their families
while they were away. No wages
were paid to either the officers or
the sailors, but each had his share
in the proceeds of the voyage, and
the balance was divided among the
stockholders when they returned.
The captains and mates were hardy
New Englanders, but the crews were
mostly Portuguese from the Canary,
Madeira and Azore .islands.-Chi-
cago Record.

THOUGHT HE WAS A WOMAN.
Why Cardinal Lavigerie Began to Guilt
sate Glowing Beard.


Sate q FLOWING Beard.
An interesting story is told by the
New York Tribune regarding the rea-
sons which led the late Cardinal Lavi-
gerie to allow his great beard to grow,
to which, it has been said, much
of his authority in Africa was due.
When the famous prelate arrived at
Algiers to take up his duties as arch
bishop he saw with regret that the
faces of all the priests were covered
with hair. At the reception of the
clergy the cardinal showed his dis
pleasure at this, and virtually ordered
them to visit the barber'at once. There
was great excitement among the long
bearded priests, who dislilxed to sacri-
fee the facial ornaments, which were
their chief pride. But Pater Girard,
the popular superior of the seminary
in Algiers and the possessor of the
most 1om bard-like beard, Gained them
by saying that he would persuade. the
cardinal to rescind his order. On the
day following the prelate's arrival in
Algiers Pater Girard accompanied him
on his first official journey. As they
arrived in village inhabited exclu-
sively by native Africans, the Oldest in
habitants, who had long known the
superior, came to pay their respects to
the prince of the church. They looked
with surprise on the freshly shaven
face of the cardinal, and lively con-
versation followed, accompanied by
gestures illustrative of astonishment.
s'What are they saying?'' asked Car
dinal Lavigerie,. with impatience.
%'Oh," answered Pater Girard, pre-
tending to be greatly embarrassed,
"they are great childrenI You need
pay no attention to their nonsensical
talk
But tell me, as I should like to.
know" continued the cardinal, unable
to suppress his interest and curiosity.
WELL" came the reply, ''they can.
not understand why man shaves him
self. They think you are woman,
and very beautiful one''
1t need hardly be added that the
archbishop of Algiers allowed his
priests to retain their long boards. In
deed, a few months later the cardinal
himself appeared with great beard,
which soon became known throughout
the northern part of Africa
