A Sea-Fight.

The killer" Orca gladiator, is a
voracious whale, with powerful jaws
armed with large, sharp teeth. 1t is
the wolf of the ocean, and two or
three killers will attack a sperm whale,
and mutilate and kill the huge ami
NAL. Mr.. Bullen, in his narrative of a
whaling voyage, "The Cruise of the
Cacha1ot," describes a fight between a
sperm whale and three killers which
he saw off the island of Formosa.
A large bowhead rose near the ship,
who seemed Indifferent to his proxim-
ity. Three killers were attacking him.
One 1eaped high in the air and de-
scended upon the whales broad back
with a crash. Again and again the
killer 1eaped and fell, as if to beat the
whale into submission by a succession
Of heavy blows.
The sea around boiled like caldron.
The worried whale lifted its huge head
out of the foaming water. On either
side killer hung to his lips, evident
1y trying to drag his mouth open. At
last the incessant, heavy blows of the
leaping killer exhausted the great
whale, and thre three killers, joining
forces, dragged open his cavernous
mouth, into which they entered and
devoured his tongue. AS soon as they
had finished their feast they swan
away, leaving the whale, helpless and
dying, a prey to the whalemen
On another occasion Mr.. Bul1en saw
a combat between bull sperm whale
and two killers, aided by huge sword
fish. The two killers hung on the
whales TANKS, trying to divert his at
tention from the swordfish's attack.
This terrible foe, sixteen feet long,
launched himself, like torpedo, at the
most vulnerable part of the whale,
where the heart is enclosed by the
neck. The whale, Indifferent to the
killers, kept his eyes on the long fish
and received the shock on his head
solid as a block of thirty tons of In
dia-rubber
The blow glanced, and the swordfsh
rolled over the top of the black head.
The whale turned rapidly over, settled
in the water, caught the swordfish in
its jaws, crunched him, and swallowed
the two halves. Then reversing his
bulk, he brandished his tail aloft,
brought it down on one of the killers,
and he became the KILLED" The sur
vivor fed, pursued by an avalanche of
living, furious flesh. They disappeared;
but if that killer survived, he prob
ably never again tackled a sperm
whale

chaffinches were full of ardor, the
males, all a-1utter with excitement,
following the females and with the
cuckoo-like flight, which is one of the
birds surest signs of love, and repeat

hedge The male often sung, but was
mainly intent on keeping near his
companion, who appeared to be a fe-
male bird. She was seemingly indif-
ferent to his presence and hunted for
insects with all the graceful activity
of her species. But she remained in
the same spot. The male was greatly
excited, his wings lowered and pull
sating and his call not prolonged to
scream rather than a chirp. Through
the telescope it was evident that she
also was trembling a little. Suddenly
the male darted forth, returned, and
alighted near the other. He then with
met his. The incident was so brief
that the telescope could not be used;
but it was, perhaps, fair to assume
that he had found and bestowed love
gift. She accepted it with the same
sedateness that the female f1ycatchers,
chaffinches and robin had exhibited in
the like circumstances

AmouS Wild Birds.

Returning to wild birds, my oppor-
tunities have been too limited to en-
able me to generalize; but the follow
ing observations may be not without
value to those who try to see in the
bird a sentiment and tender being,
writes a bird fancier in the Chicago
Inter Ocean. A few days after the ar

them were in a near tree. The male

and in the gentlest manner presented
to her the captured insect (Which ap-
peared to be of the size of bee). She
took it sedately. Shortly after she re-
eetyed another gift Of the same kind.
\ second pair of fycatchers behaved
in precisely the same manner. Last
April male robin gave some food In
the same way to its mate. Both birds
often used their call note.

The use of blotting-paper for clean
ing machinery is a new idea, but it has
been tried in the German workshops
and found to answer well, says the En-
cheering and Mining Journal
Tow, wooden refuse, sponge cloths
and jute waste are the materials US
ually employed for the cleaning of ma
chimes and parts Of engines which are
soiled by dust and lubricating sub
stances. The better varieties of cotton
waste are very good for securing pur-
poses, but the cheaper grades are
charged with dust, and in using them
q sponge cloth, specially manufactured
for the purpose, has to be resorted to.
In employing blotting paper for
securing purposes the use of cotton
waste is decreased, and the sponge
cloths are entirely dispersed with On
an average the German workman re-
ceived under the former system two
hundred and fifty grams of cotton
waste, one new sponge cloth, and one
or two renovated ones every week
Now he is supplied with one hundred
and fifty grams of cotton waste and
about eight or ten sheets of blottins
paper, at cost of two and a half
cents, or one-third the cost OF the cot
| ton waste.
The paper is not only cheaper, bu. il
does not soil the machinery with fbreS
and dust, as do the wooden refuse and
the sponge cloths. 1t is also less com.
bustible than other cleaning materials
and if it should be caught in the ma.
chinery while engines in motion are
being cleaned, it tears easily. and thu
workmen run no risk Of having theil
hands drawn into the machinery.

We meet meath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare,
AS they shout back our peals of laugh
ter,
1t seems that the dead are there.
Then stand to your glasses, STEADY!
We drink in our comrades eyes;
One cup to the dead already
Hurrah! for the next that dies.
Not here are the goblets glowing,
Not here is the vintage sweet;
IT'S cold our hearts are growing,
And dark as the doom we meet;
But stand to your glasses. steady!
And soon shall our pulses rise;
cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!
There's many a hand that's shaking,
And many a cheek that's sunk;
But soon. tho our hearts are breaking,
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk
Then stand to your glasses, steady!
IT'S here the revival lies;
Quaf a cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!
Time was when we laughed at others;
We thought we were wiser then;
Ha! ha! let them think of their mothers
Who hope to see them again.
No! stand to your glasses, steady!
The thoughtless is here, the wise,
One cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!
Not a sigh for the lot that darkles,
Not tear for the friends that sink:
Well fall midst the wine cups sparkle,
AS mute as the wine drink.
Come, stand to your glasses, steady!
IT'S this that the respite buys;
A cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!
There's a mist on the glass congealing;
IT'S the hurricanes sultry breath;
And thus does the warmth of feeling,
Turn ice in the grasp of death;
But stand to your glasses, steady!
or moment the vapor flies;
Quaf a cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!
Who breads to the dust returning?
Who shrinks from the sable shore,
Where the high and naughty yearning
OF the soul can sting no more?
The world is a world of lies;
A cup to the dead already
And hurrah for the next that dies!
Cut Off from the land that bore US,
Betrayed by the land we find,
Where the brightest have gone before us,
And the dullest are most behind.
Stand, stand to your glasses, steady!
IT'S all we have left to prize;
One cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies!

The First Drink.

Two boys stopped in front OF a
saloon, and an old man standing near
listened to what they said.
Lets go in and take a drink said
one Of them.
'I-I don't think we'd better" said
his companion, my fathers terribly
what he'd say if he knew I'd been in
one, and drank liquor there
Gust for the fun of the thing, you
know" urged his friend, "of course,
we'd stop with one drink. There
couldn't be any harm in that"
my boys" said the old man, COM
ing up to them, you don't know what
you're talking about. If you go in
there and take one drink, you're not
sure of stopping there. The chances
are that you won't, for I tell you-ard
1 know what I'm talking about by a
bitter experience-there's a fascination
about liquor that it takes a strong will
to resist after the first taste of it,
sometimes. Take the first drink, and
the way of the drunkard is open be-
fore you. Only those who let liquor
entirely alone are safe. I know, for
I've been drunkard a good many
years. 1 expect to be one till 1 die.
I began by taking drink just as you
propose to-'for fun'-but I didn't stop
| there, you see. Take the advice of a
poor old wreck, and that is, never take
| the first drink
you're right" said me boy who had
proposed to visit the saloon. 81 thank
you for your good advice, sir. 1 say
Tom, let's promise each other never
to take the first drink"
! Cali right said Tom, and the boys
clasped hands on their pledge.
That's a good temperance society
to belong to- said the old man. 81
