sentation of the case, pointed TO the
map in question and was proceeding to
dilate upon the same. wnen Justice
Gray asked him what the map was.

far-off look in his dimming eyes and
the deep-graven traces of tropic suns

There was money in whaling before
the days of mineral oil and substitutes
for whalebone," said he. But it was
Il hard life, at best. What with the
chances of a poor season and scurvy
and bad food and perhaps being ice
bound three or four winters running,
it wasn't all roses, by any means. We
got two irons in an old scragg once
an eighty barrel bull whale and down
he went to the bottom. 1t was deep
water and he took out 500 fathoms Of
line before he stopped. Pretty soon he
rose right under the boat, lifted it
about twenty feet out of the water and
tumbled us all out. The captains boat
picked us up and the old man put
lance into him and brought blood and
killed him. Another time we got fast
to a fifty-foot bowhead in the Okhotsh
sea. He got wound up in the line and
charged us. One fluke came down
across the boat amidships and killed an
oarsman. We all jumped and swan
for the other boats. leaving him to
smash ours into little pieces.
Queer things about whales, con

The widow of Orion Clemens, the
brother of Mark Twain Samuel Glen
Ems is visiting Mrs. Nantippe Saunders
of 223 West Walnut street, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Mrs. Glen
ems is always in close touch with the
movements and loings of the great hui
morist-philosopher and speaks delight
fully of the home side OF his life.
THE people. she said, do not really
know Brother Sam. They know him
as the author who prefers laugh to a
tear. But we value him infinitely
higher for his home life. Self never
seems to enter into his mind The
wants of others are always uppermost.

and more besides
"This will give you some faint ink
ling of his real value.
Even in the midst of his great finan-
cial troubles and when his health
aroused our fears. he was the same,
He only thought of how to shed sun
shine on those about him. The recent
death of his daughter, to whom. he
was peculiarly devoted, was Il great
blow to him, but he sought through il
all to ease the burden of others grief
HE has never disposed of his Hart

vest in the Cars Realm.
American capital is going to Europe,
and it is now to be seEt to Russia, where
labor is cheap and the cost of production
is now. 1t is estimated that $15,OOO,U OO
of American money will be invested dur
ing 1900 in manufacturing plants in the
Russian empire, chiefly Mt Moscow and
St. Petersburg. The Westinghouse Elec-
trio Company of Pittsburg will put up a
complete establishment at st. Petersburg
costing not less than S2,5OO,OO0. Crane
Brothers of Chicago and the Standard
Pump works will invest similar amount
in pump factory at Moscow to manufac-
ture American inventions: the Singer
Sewing Machine Company viii duplicate
one of its biggest factories at Moscow, an
investmentof between 100000 and So
GOO, 1000; the stockholders in the Baldwin
locomotive works Of Philadelphia will es-
tablish S2.000,000 plant on the railway
between st. Petersburg and Moscow. 1t
will not have any official connection with
the Baldwin Company, and will bear an
other title, although owned by the same
men. A firm of car builders, a bridge
building company and manufacturer OF
patented shoe making machinery are also
negotiating for sites near the cities nam
ed--with the encouragement of the Rus
sian Government.
All of these enterprises are going TO
Russia through the instrumentality of NJ
Routkowski, the financial attache of the
Russian embassy in Washington, who
has brought the former named and sew
eral others into communication with the
officials of his Government and secured
for them valuable advantages. Thomas
Smith. the consul of the United States
in Russia, has also been instrumental in
promoting the movement. Repeated at
tempts have been made TO induce the
Cramps to open shpyard at Cronstadt
or at some other of the Russian ports,
but thus far they have not decided to
do so.

At home are praying for us.

And straining hawsers sever,
