Whale ISutchery.

The progress of our age has played
havoc with many time-honOred indus
tries, but ON the other hand has caused
new ones to spring up and take theiI
places. Whaling in bygone times was
q dangerous business. Sailing vessels
fitted out for the purpose had to take
along not only crew Of hardy whale
hunters, but also men skilled in cut
ting the lard from the leviathian'S
sides, cooking it and placing the blub
Der into oil barrels, carried along for
the purpose. A large quantity of fat
and other materials was always vast
ed, no matter how careful the captain
and crew went to work. To-day whal-
ing is carried on differently Steamers
fitted with all the modern appliances
and covering ten times the ground of
a sailing vessel are out after the great
cetaceans. When they catch a whale
within a couple hundred knots from
North Cape they do not stop to cut
up the big fish at sea. but tow the ami
NAL to Vardoe or Vadsot, where enter
prising Norwegians have started a
quite novel business-a whale butch
cry. They work ON a partnership ar
rangement. paying the Ship-owner pro
rata of the whale oil rendered and the
amount of whale bone secured. Be-
cause of their improved facilities they
obtain more than twice as much oil,
and since the meat Of the whale makes
a splendid fertilizer and they derive
another large source of income by sell
ing whale hides and skeletons for mu-
seums to dealers in curios, they are do
ing very well. They employ at the
present 100 men, most of them In
former years sailors on board of the
whalers.- philadelphia Record.

1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of suffering to which young
children are condemned by the fads of
their parents. The poor little things
cannot care for themselves, nor can
they protest against the well meant
cruelty of those whose charge they are.
Societies exist for the prevention OF
cruelty to children, but their right to
interfere stops short of the control OF
the hygienic heresies of parents.
Fortunately for the succeeding gen.
erations Of mankind, says the Youths
Companion, these hygienic faddists are
not in the majority and most parents
let their children grow up under a COM
mon sense method of health training,
or perhaps under no method whatever.
which is the next best thing.
Mistaken parents may be roughly de-
signated under two grand divisions
the coddlers and the tougheners-and
1t is hard to say which do the more
harm.
The theory OF the coddlers Is that a
breath of cold air is death dealing to
the tender child, and that the chief end
Of man is the avoidance of draughts;
and so they bundle up their children
with layer upon layer of heavy wooden
garments, from the soles of their feet
to the crown of their head.
Their children are apt to grow up
weaklings, If they grow up at all, but
their sufferings are light and their
perils few in comparison with those
that beset the victims OF the toughening
or hardening process.
The child of this system is brought
up in accordance with the belief that
all that is necessary to health and long
life is to defy the elements and common
sense. Deluded parents think they
are creating a strong constitution, and
point triumphantly to some robust lad
who has survived the process, forget
ting that it is only children of natur-
ally the strongest constitution who
come through it at all
Formerly fashion aided the tougher
ing faddists, and tiny tots went around
in the house, and often out of doors
cut dresses hardly reaching to the
knees Nowadays the dress of young
children perhaps leans in the direction
Of coddling, with its unhealthy neck
wraps and ear mufilers.
1t is hard in this changeable climate
to keep the mean between the two ex-
tremes, but parents do not go far
wrong who clothe little children in
light fannels, in all but the hottest
weather, and who vary the outer cloth
ing in accordance with the temperature.
The child should wear clothes enough
not to feel cold. but not enough to keep
1t perspiring, for then cold-catching Is
inevitable.

HER EYE BROWS
dow . Man Ca@ Choose ., wife
Successfully.

ITS all very well for a girl to plume
nerselt upon her pretty eyebrow"
SAID an expert phyBiognomist to the
boston Globe man, but l, who. have
been studying character for years; have
perhaps rather different point OF
view. Eyebrows show character, and
the wise man will take note of them
when choosing his friends. Eyebrows.
Tor instance, that are wide apart denote
frank, generous, unsuSpicious and i'm
pulsive nature.
When they meet one may be pretty
sure that their owners temperament is
ardent, but jealous and suspicious.
Eyebrows which are elevated at start
ing and continue in long, sweeping
llnes over the eyes, with a downward.
tendency, indicate artistic feeling.
straight eyebrows, forming firmly
defined line close to the eyes, denote.
great determination and will power.
Those which begin rather strongly and
terminate abruptly without passing. be-
yond the eyes show an impatient and
lrasc1ble nature.
Sensitiveness and tenderness are in
dicated by slightly arched eyebrows,
and firmness of purpose and kindness
OF heart by those which are straight at
the beginning and are rather arched at
the temples. The eyebrows Of people
utterly devoid of mathematical power
are raised at the termination, leaving
wide space between them and the
corners of the eyes. On the other
hand, If they are close to the eyes at
the end. mathematical talent may gen.
orally be safely assumed.
Eyebrows of the same color as the
hair show constancy, tirmness and res
olution; if lighter than the hair they
denote indecision and weakness; while
II darker we may probably be right in
our surmise that their owner is Of an
ardent. passionate and inconstant dis
position.
An energetic and easily irritated ma
ture is shown by the hair growing in
different directions; while short. close
ly-lying hair, growing in one direction,
indicates firm mind and good percep-
tons. An ardent but tender nature
is shown by the hair being soft and
fine.
When the hair Of the eyebrows has
a downward droop so that it almost
meets the lashes when the eyes widely
opened, tenderness and melancholy are
betrayed. The nearer the eyebrows are
to the eyes, the frmer and the more
earnest the character, while the more
remote the more volatile and Eighty
is the nature of their owner"

A diver engaged In Moyne River in
Australia had a terrible experience
with IA sea-devil. Having fired off a
charge of dynamite and displaced q
large quantity of stones, he went to
the bottom of the river and while en-
gagged in rolling over large stone he
saw something moving about in front
of him. This dark object came in con-
tact with him and coiled about his
arm. The diver walked slowly and
painfully along with the sea-deviPs
feelers twined about his body ana legs.
He made tracks for the ladder and
gained the boat, a curious looking OBJ,
ject, indeed, with this huge, ugly thing
entangled about his body. With the
help of the sailors he was in time
freed from his submarine companion.
The body of the octopus was only
about the size of a large soup plate,
with eyes like sleeps, but possessed
nine arms, each four feet in length,
at the butt as thick as a mans wrist
and tapering Off at the END like pen
knife. All along the under part of the
feelers of this strange sea creature
are suckers every quarter of an inch,
giving it immense power.

In no other part of the world Is
kissing SO much in vogue as in Rus
STA. From time immemorial It has
been the national salute; indeed, 1t Is
more of a greeting than a caress.
In public affairs, as In private, the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss; old generals with rusty
mustacheS kiss; whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On
receiving day there are almost as
many kisses as shots exchanged. II
liliputian corps of cadets have earn
ed the imperial approval, the imperial
salute is bestowed upon the head boy,
who passes it on with a hearty re-
port to his neighbor, he in his turn to
the next, and so on drought the whole
Juvenile body.
On holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of house will
not only kiss all her maid servants
but all her men servants, too, and il
the gentleman does not venture above
her hand she will stoop ana kiss his
cheek.
To judge, also, from the number of
Salutes, the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must ne one Of uninter-
rupted felicity. A gentleman scarcely
enters or leaves the room without kiss
ing his wife, either on her forehead,
cheek or hand.

They should gain in weight, increase

If there IS stand-still, just holding

When the body is weak and you wish

Why not digest the oil before taking II,

Four Lions Weigh y Ton.

what does lion weight" Those
who know the look of the king OF
beasts best, and how small his little
body really is, will probably come
farthest from the truth. About 300 to
$50 pounds is usual estimate. But
a full-grown lion will tip the scales at
NO less tLan 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record
for an African L on. His bone Is solid
and heavy as ivory.
The tiger runs the lion very close.
A Bengal tiger, killed two years ago
by an English officer, scaled 500
pounds. A tiger this size has, how
ever, considerably more muscular
strength than the biggest lion.
