MAKING READY FOR A RUN.

A Locomotive Is Almost Is Carefully
.r- Groomed rs q Race Horse.
Running the Fast Express is the
title Of an article by George Ethelbert
Walsh in St. Nicholas Mr.. Walsh says:
The engineer comes down to his post
of duty nearly an hour before his train
is scheduled to leave. All night long in
the roundhouse the engine has been
carefully watched; wiper has spent
the whole night rubbing down the pant
ing, snorting iron horse until every rod
and cylinder shines like gold or silver;
the banked fire has been kept going, SO
that little steam has been always in
the boxes, and before he left at night
the fireman put everything in perfect
order inside the cab. The fireman ap-
pears first in the morning and inspects
the work Of the roundhouse men, and
if any part is not satisfactory he makes
after the fireman and thoroughly and
carefully examines every part. All the
bearings are then oiled. and the oil cups
are filled with oil Next the engine is
run out Of the roundhouse and tested
Fifteen minutes before the time to start
the engine is coupled to the train. and
the steam and airbrakes are tested
No race horse was ever brought to his
post better fitted for running the course
than is the locomotive OF the fast ex-
press In addition to the tests already
made, mechanic goes from wheel to
wheel. and upon every one strikes q
sharp. resounding blow to ascertain If
the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts and
bolts are examined. The engineer and
fireman are held responsible for the per-
feet condition Of the engine and cars be-
fore the start is made.

First Americas Whaler VS. Accused of
Sorcery--ValuablesC Catches
" The whale fisheries pursued for many
years with great profit to the whalers Of
assachusetts and Long Island are now
but q shadow Of their former proportions
Forty years ago nearly 600 whaling yes
sells sailed from New Bedford, Mass,
and returned with oil and wha1ebone
worth nearly $1,000, 900. Whale oil
then sold for SAFE gallon and whale
bone was worth Sc . pound Now that
the whaling grounds have been denuded
Of their riches, the docks Of New Bed
ford are almost deserted Of whalers, for
few fishermen are hardy enough to ven
ture into antarctic waters, where the
remnants of formerly vast schools of
whales fled for security.
The whaling industry is one Of the
oldest in America. It was established
in 1855. It reached it's most profitable
period 96 years later. Since 1860 it has
been decreasing in impor lance and profit
Today it adds very little to the wealth
Of New Bedford ,s@.
A writer in The Fishing Gazette says:
Zone William Hamilton was the first
person who killed whales on the New
England coast He was born in Scotland
in 164S and, coming to this country in
the early part of his life, took up his
residence at Cape Cod, where he was
prosecuted by the inhabitants for killing
whales as one who dealt with evil spir-
it's Whaling was afterward carried on
by a Mr.. Paddock, who went to Nan
tucket about the middle of 1880 for the
purpose of instructing the English in
the art of whaling in boats from the
shore, which business continued good
and profitable till the year $780, when
it diminished in consequence of the
scarcity of whales. In l718 whales were
pursued on the ocean in small sloops
and schooners of from 30 to SO tons
The blubber was brought home and
tried or boiled in try houses A few
years later vessels of larger burden were
employed and the oil boiled out in try
works at sea.
1.-The most valuable catch ever made
by whaleship was that OF the Onward,
Captain Allen, which arrived in New
Bedford after Al months cruise with
a cargo worth over $275,000, Of which
the captains share was $50, 900. The
total value of the whole product of the
whales brought into New Bedford dur
ing the 50 years for which record has
been kept is more than $145, 900, 900.
1.-THE average ship, carrying crew
of 80 hands, used to cost about $50, 900
The ships were owned by companies
which supplied provisions and clothing
and all the necessaries of the voyage
and advanced certain sums of money for
the captain and his crew to leave for
the support of their families while they
were away. No wages were paid to
either the officers or the sailors, but
each had his share in the proceeds Of
the voyage, and the balance was divided
among the stockholders when they re-
turned The captains and mates were
hardy New Englanders, but the crews
we're mostly Portuguese from the Cana
~, Madeira and Azore islands,"

Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr.. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ca,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appll-
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings we're intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.

''Those are Chinese cocoanuts."

day he was walking along the beach

Japs Want Power,

1t has been written that no man by
giving thought unto himself can add
one cubit to his stature, but the enter
prising Jap does not despair, and an
ordinance has gone forth exhorting
the people to eat more freely of meat,
with view TO increasing the average
height of the race. Whatever results
may follow the method proposed, they
are certain to be long time coming,
but it is only another instance of the
determination on the part of the
Japanese not to let the slightest
chance slip for attaining all the adj
vantages which they see, or think
they see. in Western civilization.

Speaking of a State flower for Rhode
Island, the Providence Journal sug-
gests that the violet is small enough to
be appropriate for the smallest State
in the Union, and that the rose might
be supposed to have certain philol-
ogical claim to attention on account of
ats Greek name, rhodon, which sug-
yests the name of the State, but it ex-
plains that Rhode Island derived its
name from Adrian Block, who called
it Roodt Eylandt, from the red clay
along its shores.
