CARRIED A HARPOON IS YEARS
Inscribed Weapon Found In the
Flesh of Boring Sea Whale.
New York Sun)

A few weeks ago Senator Perkins of
California. in a lecture before the Ma
tional Geographic society of Washington,
exhibited a harpoon head which had been
found buried in the flesh of u whale
caught in Boring sea. The harpOOn, which
he donated to the society, bears this in
scripJIon:
:-.................. .........'.-'. .''....'....:
MON 10000 ::
He said that the first four letters were
the mark of the American whaler Monte
yuma, which was engaged in whaling in
Boring sea and the North Pacific about
1S50-54 The five circles represent the
number of the boat to which this particu-
lar iron was assigned. Taking the latest
date, 1854 as the time when the whale
was struck. 1t appears that the animal
must have carried it thirty-siX years. The
harpoon head was found in whale taken
in Boring sea in August. 1890, by the
steam whaling bark Beluga. After her
whaling experiences in the north the
Montezuma was sold to the government
and was sunk in Charleston harbor during
the civil war. Senator Perkins added that
ever since whaling became an industry it
has been the custom for each whaling
firm to have the name of the vessel
slammed on each harpoon. This is done in
order to show, if two or more boats from
different vessels surround an animal
which of the vessels struck it in case the
whale gets away and is afterward found

CIGAROLOGY.
Some Indications of Character in
the Manner of Handling
the Weed,

When you see man grip cigar be-
tween his teeth and hold it fast, careless
of whether it burns or not, you can set
him down as an aggressive, calculat-
ing and eXacting, not to say canny, in
dividual.
If man smokes cigar deliberately,
just enough to keep it lighted, and de-
lights in taking it from his mouth and
watch the blue smoke from it curl up
ward, he is likely to be an easy-going
man, good-natured and honest, says an
exchange.
There is another fellow who smokes
intermittently, takes a puff and then
rests, and fumbles his cigar about.
He is apt to have little decision of char
acter, and to be easily affected by cir
cumstances. A man may be nervous
and tumble his cigar a good bit, and in
this event he is would-be swell, vain
and frivolous.
He invariably tilts his cigar upward,
while a sensible, level-headed fellow
will hold it straight out from his mouth.
When you see a man chewing up an
unlighted cigar, and twisting it about,
he is nervous, but of great tenacity.
a man who cannot keep his cigar
alight has a whole-souled disposition.
He has lively nature, is hail-fellow-
well-met, glib of tongue, and usually
a good story teller.

THIS CROWNED HEAD IS IRISH.
King O'Keefe l., Though Born I'm Ire
land, Is an Anne rican Citizen
His Kingdom.

David b. O'Keefe, king of the small
islands zap, Ola and ST. David, which
are about 300 miles from Pelew, has
had an adventurous career, says the
London Leader.
He is by birth an lrishman, by nat
uralization an American, and is 6S years
of age. When he settled at zap he mar
ried a native princess, who is shrewd
woman and rules when he is away.
The islands over which he rules are
his by right of discovery and the ac-
quiescence of the native rulers, and may
become the cause of complications. He
holds them against the rival claims of
Spain and Holland. Over his islands
he floats the stars and stripes, and on
his single trading schooner he flies the
union jack.
O'Keefe is known in Hong-Kong as
the copra king. He has accumulated
an immense fortune in the cocoanut
trade, and is a millionaire aside from
his claim to the islands. He wishes to
sell his territory either to the United
States or England.
OKeefe has complete control over his
chiefs, and has suppressed the slave
traffic which used to be carried on.
