JOHN h. SYMONS.


The London Culver appears to take
the position that There ia no argument
valid upon a premise Of inherent impos-
sibility." In a driving argument along
that line The Culver man deduces facts
and figures from the different authori-
ties to prove that it is altogether prob
able that the story Of Jonah and the
whale is not a myth, as is now popu-
LARRY supposed. That such a piscine feat
As that attributed to Jonah's whale is at
least possible is proved by an incident
which occurred in the Mediterranean a
few years ago. A British war vessel
was sailing quietly along one day, when
q sudden lurch threw . seaman over
board. A huge shark instantly arose,
and those on board were Mortified to see
their companion disappear down its
throat. In a moment, before the fero-
cious water tiger" could right itself
and dive, the captain seized q gun aud
fred. The shot struck the creature
square in the back and was such q shock
or surprise that the shark cast the man
out, and he was rescued alive by his
comrades.
Arguing from the above incident,
The QuiverTthinks it highly probable
that the Jonah story is true in every
particular.

PLURALITY.

The Globe Democrat has compiled a
table Of pluralities received by Major
Mckinley. and comments as follows
upon the result:
A million plurality! When all the
returns for last Tuesdays election are
in and the official count in each state
is completed, McKinley's popular plur-
ality will be shown to be in the neigh
borhood Of l 1000. 900. As the count now
stands. his plurality is over a million.
and complete returns are more likely
to increase than to decrease the pres
emit figures. II this is not a landslide
there has never been a political land
slide in the history Of this country. No
candidate since the beginning OF this
government has ever received a pop
ular plurality approaching Major Nc
kinley's. The dearest TO It was Grants
plurality Of 100000 in 1872. No other

The reason why Argentine mutton

New Zealand has a threefold explana-
ton. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses today q mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the
Argentine the sheep are allowed to

that the New Zealander produces an

Will readily be noted by any
one who pays IA visit to the cattle maj
ket. Thirdly, the freezer in New Zea-
land freezes the mutton OH account Of
the breeder. and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The dis
advantage Of the latter system, so long
as the breeder has no knowledge Of the
requirements Of the market, is appar-
emf. The New Zealand breeder selects
his wethers with care, rejecting any
which will give an inferior weight or
which is insuficiently fattened for the
butcher. He RENTS them in small
droves to the freezing establishments
and takes every care that they shall ar
rive in perfect order. The Argentine
breeder. on the other hand, makes q
contract with the representative Of the
freezer to sell a given number, and the
latter binds himself to remove them
within = certain date. - New York
