Remarkable Whale Story.

A curious story. which comes from
Caen, is told by the Paris correspond
ent of the London Morning Post. A.
NJ. Dubosq was duck shooting at the
mouth of the River Orne when n whale
rose near his boat. He fired both bar
rels of his gun into the animal, which
dived. The water being very shallow,
the whale soon rose again, whereupon
NJ. Dubosq jumped upon its back and
began stabbing it with large knife
He was tossed into the sea, but returned
to the attack and finally succeeded in
driving the whale ashore. NJ. Dubosq
has sold his capture to a company and
it has been towed to Caen. 1t is Is
years since whale was captured ON

on Newspaper Work.
A bright little boy who attends one OF
the city public schools was told by his
teacher few days ago to write an essay
on Journalism" says the Atlanta
Constitution, and the next day he
handed in the following: Journalism
is the science of all sorts of journals.
There is heap of kinds of journals.
Journals is a good thing 'cept when
they is not journals and then they is
just awful. My ma, she takes fashion
journal what is always full of pictures
of horrid old maids with the ugliest
dresses on I ever saw. The fashion
journal Is heap gooder than the hot
journal, cause the hot journal stops
the train and the fashion journal starts
it. The fashion journal don't stop moth
in but the broken window light and
pas bank account.
There is sheep journals and hog
journals and brass journals, too, and
pa has got Journal downtown at the
Gtore and writes things in itabout folks
he don't want to forget. Then we had
n woman t cooked for us named Sally
Journal. She was the funniest journal
ever saw. She was a baldheaded
journal.
''They amt no more journals that
know of.

Electricity and Baiky Horses.

Ono of the recent extensions of the
use of electricity is in conquering a
balky or lazy horse. A western Penn
sylvania gentleman owned horse
which he said was worth $1,000, pro-
vided he could cure him Of baking 1t
was suggested that he try electricity.
He purchased three volt storage bat
terry and connected it by wires with the
bit and the erupper. Tho battery was
placed in tho road cart to which the
horse was attached. At first tho horse
refused to move, but stood with all four
feet braced Then the owner touched
the button connected with the battery.
When the horse felt the shock, he snort
ed, jumped and began to move off at q
lively pace. Every day for week he
was given the same lesson. His owner,
who does not care to sell him, declares
that now he never balks, bites or kicks.
The West Pennsylvania Humane So
ciety, which Investigated the method,
came to the conclusion that small
| amount Of electricity used upon horse
was moro humane than whip, ,--Ex

ABE LINCOLN'S CHlVALRY.
Helped Lawyer, Now Famous. to VIII
His First Case.

His first case at the bar will never be
forgotten by ex-senator John c. S.
Blackburn of Kentucky, for Abraham
Lincoln played conspicuous part in
helping the young Kentuckian to win
his suit. Lincoln was merely an attor.
ney, waiting for one Of his cases to be
called, when the incident occurred.
Ex-senator Blackburn was only 20
years old when he began the practice Of
law, having graduated at Centre col
lege, Danville, KY. His first case was
in the United States court in Chicago,
presided over by Justice John Mclean,
then ON the circuit. The opposing coun-
sci was Isaac N. Arnold, then at the
head of the Chicago bar, and subse-
quently a member of congress and au-
thor Of the first biography Of Lincoln.
Young Blackburn had filed demurrer
to Mr. Arnold's pleadings in the cause.
and when the case was reached on the
calendar the young Kentuckian was
quite nervous at having such formida-
bic and experienced antagonist, while
the dignity Of the tribunal and the pres
ence of a large number Of eminent law
yers in court served to increase his IT,
midity and embarrassment. In truth the
stripping barrister was willing to have
any disposition made of the cause in
order to get rid of the burden Of em-
barrassment and "stage fright. " He was
ready to adopt any suggestion the OPP
posing counsel should make.
Arnold made an argument in which
he criticised the demurrer In a manner
that increased the young lawyers con-
fusion. However, Blackburn knew he
had to make some kind of an effort. He
proceeded with few remarks, weak
and bewildering. and was about to sit
down when a tall, homely, loose joint.
ed man sitting in the bar arose and ad-
dressed tho court in behalf Of the posi-
tion the young Kentuckian had assumed
in a feeble and tangled argument, max
ing the points 80 clear that the court
sustained the demurrer.
Blackburn did not know who his vol
unteer friend was, and Mr.. Arnold got
up and sought to rebuke the latter for
attempting to interfere in the case,
which he had nothing to do with. This
volunteer was none other than Abraham
Lincoln, and this was the first and last
time tho Kentuckian ever saw the rail
splitting president. In replying to Mr..
Arnold's structures Mr. Lincoln said he
claimed the privilege Of giving a young
lawyer a helping hand when struggling
with his first case, especially when he
was pitted against an experienced prae-
titioner. Chicago Times Herald.

great deal has appeared in the news
papers at different times about aluminium,
It's properties aud its uses. 1t was recent
ly announced that contracts had been
signed for the delivery in England OF 900

its subsequent application in manufacture

nent comments on the recent shooting OF

Lattimer, Pa. He shows that the local pre-
judice against H. ese forelgnborn laborers
was intense, that many Americans who had
worked in The mines before the foreigners
came had Irifted into other occupations
Ia the p nnsyvana towns and villages Of
the coal regions, and that the mine own
er had brought in more laborers than
were needed, which helped to keep wages
close to the starvation point. These condi-

New Orleans is troubled by a veritable
plague OF beetles from the gulf coast.
During the last few years the birds which
formerly fed upon these creatures have
been killed off by hundreds OF thousands,
in order that the demand for feathers for

beginning TO take her revenge, and only
beginning. The penalties that she will
exact IL the extinction OF bird life be not
