short time ago bought some very ex-
pensive dollhouse grapes for member
of the family who had been sick, but
they were not fancied at the time, and
l asked the maid to take them away.
The next morning l went to her and
told her to take the fruit to the sick

Instances Of These Leviathans Throwing
Themselves Out OF Water.
Speaking of jumping" said an old
seaman who had been watching some
boys playing leap-frog on the sands, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Times, let
me tell you of the greatest jump ever
seen. 1t was many years ago. when l
was little more than lad. but was
bow oarsman on whaleboat belonging
10 the ship Henry Staples. We had bad
luck for several weeks, when one dag
we sighted big whale, and two boats
set on IN race to see who would get
there first. 1t was fairly smooth. what
the sailors call a white-cap breeze, and
our boats fairly flew over the water.
FINALLY the whale rose not 100 yards
away. heading directly for us. The har
pooner stood with his iron all ready
10 throw, while we grasped our oars
herNously, prepared to jump at the
word stern all, that nearly always
came when a whale was harpooned.
Not word was spoken and suddenly a
mountain Of black appeared it seemed
TO smut Off the entire horizon. Up it
went until | distinctly saw a seventy
foot whale over twenty feet in the air
lowering over US.
The mate was the first to regain his
senses and gave the command: Stern
all, Just as we We're ready to spring
| overheard the boat shot back several
ieet and the next second the gigantic
animal dived into the ocean, just graz
ing us. having completely passed over
the boat in the biggest leap ever heard
Of"
such gigantic jumps are rare A sim
ilar one was recorded by DR.. Hall, who
at the time was midshipman on the
ship Leander. They were lying in the
harbor of Bermuda, when all hands
were attracted by the appearance of a
very large whale that suddenly ap-
peared in the harbor and seemed very
| much alarmed by the shallow water,
Numbering about violently. The young
mldshipman Joined boats crew that
started in pursuit and just as they were
ABOUT to strike the whale disappeared
SINKING out of sight, leaving deep
whirlpool, around which the boat shot
Before it stopped up came the whale
having in all probability struck the bot
ON. and went into the air like rocket
so complete was this enormous leap,
says DR.. Hall, that for an instant we
saw him fairly up in the air, in hori-
zontal position, at least twenty perpen-
dicular feet above our heads While
In his progress upward there was in his
spring some touch of the vivacity with
which trout or salmon shoots out OF
the water, but he fell back again in the
sea like huge log thrown en- it's broad
side, and with such laundering crash
as made all hands stare with aston
ishment, and the boldest held his breath
for a time. Had the whale taken his
leap one minute sooner he would have
fallen plump on the boat"

A Generous Child,

A few days ago ran in to see a
woman friend of mine-one OF those
dear conventional women who take life
seriously. and wouldn't do an unusual
thing for half your kingdom. While
we were talking my friends little
daughter came into the room. She
sidled shyly up to her mother.
Mamma, she said, ''may 60 down
to Mamie's just minute?'
The day was cloudy and the mother
demurred. The little girl insisted.
Il have to 90. mamma" she said.
"Why. dear?" asked her mother.
The little girl hesitated n moment
and then, to her ultra particular moth
er's dismay she cheerfully explained:
Why" she said, IL lent Mamie my
chewing gum last night, and want il
