Nearly Sunk by Spouting Whales.

Capt. Mitchell of the steamer tug
Thomas J. Smith, which arrived
here yesterday from sea having in
tow the bone.laden Italian bark
Oreb, from Buenos Ayres, which
she picked up to the southwark of
Fenwick's Island reports having
been attacked by a tremendous
school of whales at II o'clock in
the morning on Monday last while
cruising 40 miles southeast of Cape
Henlopen. The whales surrounded
the tug for a period of four hours,
blowing large streams of water into
the air, which completely shut out
all view of the surroundings.
Capt. Mitchell says that in thirty
years service at sea on tugs he
never before saw such large
whales, nor were they ever known
to congregate in such numbers so
close to the land.
1t was a serious time on board
the frail tug, and all hands were
badly scared, as these monsters
seemed infatuated and dashed along
the sides of the boat with great
force. Capt. Mitchell ran the engi-
mes full speed and attempted to get
clear of the school, but the b ge
marine animals followed the tug,
almost swapping her with the i'm
mense volumes of water they threw
on board.
Finding that any attempt to get
away from them was futile, Capt.
Mitchell loaded up a large horse
pistol he had on board and began
firing into them, but the bullets
took no effect. One monster he
put six shot into, but it only infu-
rated the animal still more. 1t
was about 3 O clock in the afternoon
when the leader of the school head
ed off shore, and soon the whole
number followed and disappeared.

Members of a New Secret Order.

The travelling men whos journey
through Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory selling goods and making
friends for their employers have a
hard enough time without an y ex-
tras. Trips off the line to small in
terror towns, living on the lean of
the land in country where there
are a few hotels and no baths, is not
any fun to speak of. But when
struggling members of the Cook and
Dalton gangs and all sorts of Dick
Turpins got into the habit of stop
ping them on the road at the point
of their pistols and drinking up all
their samples and dividing their
expense money, they thought it
time to do something or other. So
they formed a society called the
Oklahoma Commercial Mems Mu-
tual Anti-Robber- Drink All-the-
Samples Ourselves Association,
with secret ritual and signs and
passwords.
No one outside of the organiza.
ton knows the ritual or the pass
words, but the signs are frequently
seen by persons closely observant.
The hailing sign is given whenever
a travelling man meets customer.
1t is given by raising the hands OPP
posite the shoulders and extending
the hands in a horizontal position;
the hands are then waved back and
forth. The signal Of distress is also
known and frequently seen on the
road in that country. 1t is very
simple. The arms are suddenly
raised at full length above the head
with palms empty to the front.
The ritual not being known, it
would be difficult to say in what
manner they propose to stop the
division of the samples. -Kansas

The MIX Tester.

The English agriculturist is slow
to take advantage of modern scien-
tihc discoveries and inventions.
Even the cream separator, the prin-
ciple and utility of which are uni
versally understood, has not yet
come into general use in this coun-
try. AS for the milk tester, its
very name is unknown to thousands
of English farmers. Yet the value
of this simple and inexpensive ap-
pliance to every one who owns
mich cattle is incalculable, and its
employment is doing more to adj
vance the dairying industry in
America and elsewhere than per-
haps even the separator itself.
More quantity of milk does not give
any clue as to the butter producing
capability of a COW. But by the
tester the percentage of butterfat
in each cows milk is ascertained,
with hardly any labor, and with
absolute accuracy, before the milk
is poured into the common recep-
tacle for butter-making purposes.
The dairyman who has no tester
merely knows the quantity of but
ter his cows produce in the aggre-
gate; he has no clue as to the value
of each individual COW in the herd.
With the tester, on the other hand,
he knows exactly how much butter
each individual COW produces from
each gallon of its milk By this
means he is enabled to Gull his herd
replacing poor butter producers by
good ones. The poor COW costs
just as much for food and attention
as the good one, but the annual
monetary returns of the two ami
mails show wide margin of differ.
ence. Moreover a good butter COW
produces good butter stock, and so,
from his knowledge acquired from
theuse of the milk tester, the breed
er of dairy stock is enabled to select
the proper calves to rear and the
proper ones to reject.
In this way it becomes perfectly
possible, as has been actually done
on farms in Vermont and elsewhere
in the United States, to grade up
dairy herd from all average produc-
ton per COW of $50 pounds of but
ter per annum to an average of 900
pounds and over. With these fig.
ures before him, even the layman
will grasp the value of such an in
vention to each individual farmer
who uses it. But let us reflect
what are the money advantages of
the system when spread over the
1000 farms that contribute to such
a creamery as that of st. Adams,
VT; what the gain to the whole of
that great dairying State; what the
enhanced profit to the vast dairying
industry of America. Were the
milk tester in universal use
throughout Great Britain and Ire
land, the capitalized value of our
dairy herds might be increased in
few years time fully IS per cent.
f,then, the British farmer does not
eagerly avail himself of snch an in
vention, can he fairly grumble at
being ousted from his own markets
by his foreign competitor?-The

New Light on the Subject.

Middletowu, O., Sept. 3.-A startling story came to light this morning. It is that the Hatch referred to so often by H. H. Holmes was one time superintend- cnt of public schools in this city. The description of the Hatch mentioned in Colorado dispatches tallied exactly with the man, who in the school year of 1S56- 57, was elected as superintendent of schools here and gave the name of Clark w. Hatch. Though young man he had previously taught school at Oxford, O., and produced fine recommendations. Af- ter he had been here a year rumors of immoral conduct were circulated against him, leading to his expulsion. It was proved that he had jeopardlzed the good names of several girls and made a nasty flight. He was afterward heard of in Kentucky. where he figured in several grave robbing escapades. It was finally given out that he was dead, and great amount of insurance was collected on his policies.

THE PROBLEM OF "PURITY."
Ii Is Poor Rule That Wont Work Both Ways, as lively Conversation De-
 yeIopes.

Slverite-We demand that silver at the rate of 16 to 1 shall be kept on a parity with gold
 ity?"
 S.--I mean on an equality, equal value.
 G. B-Silver is worth about G6 cents an ounce; and its value is measured by gold the world over. Do you think any law or international resolution would bring the price of pure silver up to 125A?
 S.--I do not see how the law or reso- lution could affect the commercial price of silver.
 c. B.-Then how are the two metals to be kept upon an equality in price?
 S.-By d law making d coined ounce of silver legal tender for all debts, public and private; an ounce of gold being worth about $16. let that amount of coined gold also be a legal tender for all debts.
 G. B.-Then if you owe me 5000 you could pay me with silver worth only $666 and I should be cut out of $334 that were honestly due me.
 S-Yes, that is about 1t; and the la boring man could pay all of his debts by rendering 66 cents on the dollar.
 G. B.-But what would the laboring man get for his labor? Workingmen and women in this country earn $7500.000 a week. It Is due to them by their em-
  are creditors and gold bugs. This silver legal tender would wrongfully take 34 per cent of their wages away from them, and deprive them every week of $225, ,000 which honestly belong to them. Does it not appear that your silver legal tender theory would work Its hardest results among the laborng people?
 S.--I had not understood this to be so; but had supposed the laboring people were in. debt all the time, and that the cheaper the money in circulation the bet ter for them,
 G. Bon. no! The laboring people are not the debtor class, at all. Their em- ployers are indebted to them $7500, GOO every Saturday evening. and twice that sum if the laborers are only paid once in fortnight.
 S.--I acknowledge this is worth think ing about.
 G. B.-Gold measures values. The yardstick and wet and dry vessels measures quantities. Suppose we mske two yardsticks and two sets of weights and bushel and gallon measures? One set of each to, be 34 ger cent smaller or shorter than the others. how could you keep them on parity? The seller of wheat would use the smaller bushel measure, and the coal dealer would use the lighter weight. But make a law that sixty-six bushels of wheat shall be legal weight for the purchaser of 100 bushels. what would be the result? No one would contract for any speci- fled number of bushels or tons. The puIk chaser would require contract for the delivery of a certain number of cubes or square inches, or so many yards of 36 inches each. Your parity" law would be trampled under foot by the more pow erful laws of commerce.
 S.-I am not sure that Is not so.
 G. B.-I am sure it is so.-Hartford tConn.) Times.

The Eclij e at Washington.

Washington, Sept. 3-From the early hour of evening, when the moon entered the partial shadow, until 1 o'clock a. m., when there is total eclipse, there has been as clear a sky for observing the spectacle as ever happened before, and many watched with interest the changes presented from the entrance into pe- numbra until thorough eclipse. Such a common astronomical event as an eclipse Of the moon caused little, if any, extra ordinary attention at the naval observa- tory, but many laymen in the science and numerous others, attracted by the cool and clear September night, fingered long beyond their usual hours for rest ing and watched the display in the sky from the early tinging of shadow until the total eclipse
