Caught on q Fishing Line.

The coast of southern California Is pa
trollcd, especially In summer, by several
varieties of whales. which add to the pleas
ure of sightsccrs along shore. Among
these harmless monsters the California
gray whale is conspicuous 1t attains q
length of from 40 TO so feet. In the Santa
Catalina channel these huge animals are
almost always to be seen, their big heads
rising from the water or their black tails
being tossed aloft in the games and ganl-
bols in which they indulge. One of their
curious oaprices exhibited on rare occasions
is to follow vessels. A ship bound from
san Francisco TO a South American port
was followed three weeks by a whale that
played about 1t, attempting no injury, but
swimming alongside and receiving many
bullets In It's blubber without resenting
them. When the ship was drydockcd, the
copper was found strangely discolored by
the breath of this curious companion.

A PHILOSOPHICAL HUSBAND.
How He Got Square With the Grocer Who
Sold bad Goods.


There Is a grocer In the Ninth ward
whose one aim is underselling the trade.
That he does this in many instances Is
made plain by comparison of his prices
with those of other grocers IL the vicinity.
His stock is not nice to look at, and much
of it appears to be shopworn. 1t is said
that he buys up job lots from fire sales,
goods damaged in transit and consign-
ments that fail to come up to expectations.
8 However that may be, a woman bought
a can of tomatoes from him, and when
she took it home and opened it the con-
tents We're unfit for use. She brought it
right back and requested that 1t be ex-
changed. The grocer refused to listen tc
this proposition, and when the woman's
husband came home she told him oil about
it. The next day the grocer was surprised
by a visit from the food Inspectors. They
made raid on his canned goods, and after
their departure the grocer could not have
given the woman a similar can in eX-
change, even had he been willing to do So
The news of the raid attracted quite a
crowd, but no one enjoyed it so much as
the woman's husband, who arrived early
on the scene and was last to leave. When
the inspectors wagons drove off, the man
entered the store, and addressing the gro
