GENEROSITY EXEMPLIFIED.

The announcement in today's PRESS
by Messrs. G. d. 3. Fisk & Co., the pop
ular clothiers, Middle street, is worthy of
the careful perusal of our readers. That
this firm is an enterprising one and
hustlers for business and original in their

zens. That their goods and prices are al
ways satisfactory to the buying public
goes without saying. They now propose

upright, rosewood z 1-3 octave concert
grand, sterling piano, and chair and

Drab In Favor.

Drab is one of the seasons favored
colors. The French call it winter sky"
but this is too poetic n title for its I'M
compromising dull, metallic tone. It is
not like soft nuns gray, swallow gray,
silver, dove, fawn or any thing as deli
cate and dainty. Drab is not q becoming
color ON its own merits. We associate
it with the coats and gowns OF the
Quakers, when far stricter in sectarian
and dress matters than they are now,
and with the old Puritan drivers OF the
defunct stagecoach, with their many
capped, long, drab coats. But French
modiste can easily make a gown of
beauty out Of even drab cloth. She COM
bines it with black and Danish or Span
ish or British red so artistically and
deftly that the dowdy dress of tf.sS be-
comes in the hands Of this sartorial pres
tidigifator n triumphant success. Set it
against, for example, one of the brick
red gowns Of cloth. with black and
white vest and n brick red velvet toque
en- suite, and rivalry there is none be-
tween the two. The one is vulgar and
provokingly aggressive, the other suffi-

night Dougherty had been trailing in

he caught pair of skies about the

Nearly All the Valuable Sea MonsteRo
Have Left the North Pacific.

Have Left the North Pacific.
The valuable whales have about all
disappeared from the North Pacific.
Behring and Okhotsk seas no longer
contain them, and the Arctic ocean is
the only recognized whaling ground
left. There are but fifty whalers now
afioat in the western ocean, while
half century ago there were six hun
bred such ships. There are ten steam
vessels in this fleet and the rest are de-
scribed by Harper's Weekly as relics
ancient barks and briggs that date
from the long ago, are seldom insured
and with difficulty secure crews. The
captain and crew 60 on shares or are

credit the former with four or five
thousand dollars and the sailors with
q couple Of hundred dollars each. For
three seasons one of the whalers has
not secured single whale, while one
crew captured twenty-one whales in
the summer of 1891.
In 1891 Sitka was surprised by the
visit of whaler, the first in the many
years since the Fairweather grounds
of Mount st. Elias were abandoned.

There had been time to clean and
slightly deodorize the ship during its
sail into port, and it fell disappointingly
short of the traditional whaler. But

whalebone six and seven feet in length
stacked mp like cord wood; to see the
boats, harpoons, knives and tackle and

are little regarded in this day, as
whalebone at six dollars pound is the
most valuable part of the monster.
Catching their whales so fast. this
crew had not time to cut up one whale
before another was sighted, and the
hold was filled with the blubber of the
first whale while they were busy har-
pooning and cutting the bone from the
later catches. They had only four
hundred and thirty barrels of oil, and
the tongue of one whale yielded thir.
teen of those barrels. From nine whales
there came ten thousand pounds Of
bone.

whale passed within few feet from

feet in length. Quite a number OF
shots were fired at it, but took no

Bells mills got into boats and gave
chase, but before they could get near
it it took to fight and was lost to view.

THE FADING DECLARATION.
Glass, Signatures Almost Gene.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Declaration of Independence is
kept between two great plates of glass,
the edges of which are Theoretically
sealed. At intervals and as a special
favor the custodian pulls out drawer
in a huge steel box and shows the
treasure. But most of the time the
two plates, with their sheet of parch-
ment between, rest were burglars can
not break through, where fire cannot
reach, and where daylight cannot
complete the ravages already wrought
by exposure. Visitors to the State de.
partment who want to see the Declare
ton are shown a perfect facsimile
which hangs in handsome frame
and looks old enough to be the
original. They 60 away none the
wiser for the substitution. The truth
is that the Declaration was fast be-
coming a tradition when the extra
ordinary steps for its preservation
were taken about three years ago.
In the administration of John
Quincy Adams, copper plate Of the
original was made. To get the copy
for the engraver the surface of the
parchment was moistened with wet
cloth. A print was taken. 1t re-
moved about so per cent of the ink.
For some years the original was ex-
hibited under glass ut the patent Of
fee. It hung where the sun reached
for short time each day, until the
discovery was made that the script
was fading. Better care was taken
when the Declaration was hung in the
library of the new State department
building. But for some reason never
satisfactorily explained, the signatures
suddenly seemed to be fading. John
Hancock's name, one of the boldest
on the sheet, in the space of two or
three years became too dim to dis
tinguish. Then the officials having
care saw that if lett in the light the
original would in q few generations
entirely disappear. The strong box
was built. The plates of glass were
obtained and sealed. In the drawer,
underneath the Declaration, the cop
per plate made in Adams time is kept.
The Declaration can be deciphered
with the aid of q glass, but the
signatures are almost entirely faded
out. What is left of the revered in
strument will, with present precau.
tions, last long time.

LIKE THE SUMNER OF '79.-The
country is at present undergoing pre-
cisely the same experience that it
went through in the summer of 1870,
when the great crops of that year
opened food of sunshine after the
long season of gloom and prostration
that followed the panic of the autumn
of 1873, and ushered in an era of new
activity and enterprise. The cheer
fulness and the improvement now
everywhere visible are but the begin
ming. Hereafter there will be steady
progress and increasing confidence,
and the closing years Of the century
are altogether likely to be marked by
the greatest prosperity the United
States has ever seen.-Philadelphia
