A TERRIFIC ENCOUNTER.

acute. Relentless is the hold of the
jasper, and equally as cruel are the
darts of the swordfish as that mighty
weapon enters deep into the vital parts
of the doomed whale, for not one in ten
thousand ever escapes from this en-
counter. The spermer at first simply
lashes the water in Indignation, but the
lashing increases in fury until the sea
becomes milky white. This was the
condition of affairs between the fight
ers when the Mexican stopped within
hailing distance of the fight. With sub
dued excitement the crew and passen-
gers watched the proceedings.
Faster and faster became the lash
ings of the sperm whale, and louder
echoed the strokes on the water. Sew
eral times the spermer, with a mighty
effort, rose clean out of the sea, half
dragging the jasper, that had hold of
his jaw, out of the water with him. He
was out but for an instant, giving him,
however, an opportunity to gain
breath of air sufficient to allow him to
renew with greater energy the struggle
for life. On went the combat. 1t
seemed as if some unseen power of ma
ture was forming mighty eddies and
whirlpools around these great occu-
pants of the sea. Long was the fierce
and undated struggle. The last time
that the sperm whale rose from the
water, which must have been an her
culean effort to accomplish, the whale
bled profusely from the sides Down
again he went with dash. A few more
terrible lashes were dealt the water by
his tail, and then there was gradual
diminishing of the strokes.
Fainter and slower became the
struggle for life. All could see that
the great leviathan, that had fought
nobly and bravely to escape his deadly
enemies, was now rapidly passing
away. Death was near. From milky
white color the sea was fast turning
into a blood-red hue. A few mighty
gasps were made by the doomed fish
and the fecrocious sea battle was over.
He lay on the surface of the Bay OF
Biscay, surrounded by his own blood,
bereft of life after as gallant tight as
was ever made by man, brute or fish for
the preservation of life.
So impressive had been the scene
that it was some moments before any
one moved from the position they had
occupied for the past hour. The SOL
emn silence was broken by the captain
ringing the engine-room bell, which
signaled the boat TO start on her voyage
at full speed ahead. That ocean fight
will live in the memory of those who
saw it as long as life shall last.

FOUGHT FOR HIS LIFE.
True Whale Attacked by a Jasper
Whale and a Swordfish.
After a Terrible Struggle the LevIsthap
succumbs to Its Fierce Antag-
onists-A Neyer-to- Be- Forgot
ten Encounter.

A whale fight is one of the most re-
markable sights seen by sailors and
ocean voyagers. The combat of the
mighty leviathans of the deep is grand
and impressive. In fact, those who
have been fortunate enough to witness
a whale fight will ever remember the
unique scene.
There are three actors in a whale
combat-a true whale, jasper whale
and a swordfish. 1t is necessary for a
true, or sperm, whale to come to the
surface to breathe and blow, while the
jasper whale is like any other fish in
that respect.
The Bay of Biscay, that generally
turbulent sea, which has swallowed
thousands of ships, was, on a recent trip
of the Union steamship Mexican, as
smooth as a mirror. 1t did not seem
possible that this peaceful sea would
ever lash itself into the furies of the
gale. The passengers of the Mexican
were startled early in the morning
by the lookout crying out: "A whale
fight, right on the starboard bowl"
Everybody became at once excited.
The captain eased the speed of the boat,
and headed directly for the
The steamer was stopped when within
a short distance, from whence all could
view this tragic scene of ocean life.
Twas a wondrous scene that met
the gaze of the on-lookers. A mighty
sperm whale was lashing the sea with
its tail until for yards around the water
had become milky white. Fiercer each
moment became the struggle between
the sperm whale and his two deadly
opponents. The manner by which the
jasper whale and swordfish attack
the spermer is a rather peculiar one,
and as to why there is that deadly
hatred between these monsters of the
deep remains unsolved.
The jasper whale grasps the sperm
whale by the lower jaw, while the
swordfish is dealing deadly blows to the
victim underneath. AS the moments
pass and it becomes necessary for the
spermer to come to the surface to
breathe, the struggle becomes more

DAINTY POWDER PuFFS.
Thousands OF Cygnets Are Killed Each

Year to supply Them,
A new count in the indictment

An English journal warns the Lon.

those airy necessities of the toilet. are
heavy with the blood of slaughtered in
nocents.
It is stated that as many as 10000
young swans-cygnets, as they are

One cygnet will make nearly dozen
average-sized "puffs,''. which shows
how many women must be, to a greater

powder:
The puff trade is highly profitable, as
may be judged from the fact that the

MRS. SARAH MALLoY.
First Woman Chosen for Presidential
Elector In This Country.


EIector In This Country.
Mrs. Sarah Malloy, of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
has been chosen n presidential elector
by the republicans of Wyoming, being
the first woman in the United States
to attain that high position. This is the
most pronounced victory for the cause
of womans suffrage so far recorded,
and marks an era in the political prog
ress of the female sex. 1t realizes the
widest dreams of Mrs Susan B. An
thony and the other pronounced advo-
Gates of woman's rights.
From this nomination 30 the choice
of a woman for governor of a state is
now only step, and the possibility of
a female president seated in the white
house at Washington looms up with
startling clearness.
That Wyoming should have been the
first to break down the bars that kept
woman out of the electoral college was
TO have been expected. twas here that
the political equality of the sexes was
first recognized. Mrs. Malloy has been
active in politics ever since Wyoming
adopted woman suffrage. She was one
of the first workers in the cause in the
west, and helped materially to secure
the adoption of what was then the ter
ritory of Wyoming of the law giving
women the franchise.
IF we are good enough" she argues,
''to raise and train the boys who are to
go up to the polls and vote, then we
ought certainly be good enough TO vote
ourselves"
From the first Mrs. Malloy has
worked with the republican party.
Every election day has seen her at the
polls, and she has taken a steady in
terest in every campaign. But, despite
this public activity, she is by no means
considered the NEW woman" the funny
photographers have pictured her to be.
For, while participating actively in pol
itics, Mrs. Malloy has shown no incli-
nation to wear divided skirts or to
throw the care of the baby on her hus-

Decoration of the Pier Glass.

On the occasion of some social func-
ton the old-fashioned pier glass is
often tho most difficult object of artistic
decoration. A useful hint may be
found in the following direction: Bank
up the lower part with palms, so that
you may have a good foundation of
green tc work upon. Then tack four
thin wires from the top of the mirror to
both ends. Irvine some vines in thick
profusion up each wire, and on top of
the glass festoon greens to the ceiling.
