Have YOU any idea of the size of the
common Greenland whale? Nilsson.
he z%oologist, estimates the full-grown
ANIMAL to average 100 tons. or 224.OGO
pounds. That is to say. Il whale weighs
rs much rs about eighty elephants or
100 bears. OF course some run larger
han this. There are tales among old
mhalers of whales 40 feet long and
weighing at least $50 tons. But such
ire rot to be seen in these days. A
'eventy-foot whale is q big II now.
Still it may give some idea of what
monsters are occasionally killed when
re mention that Il ton of oil has been

A UNIQUE PROFESSION:

g1es Cor the Curious in Orchids.
"During a summer that l spent in
Baltimore several years ago." said a
New Orleans rlceman, II made the ac-
q%uaintance of a very quiet young fell
low of the name of Jamison, who was
staying at the am family hotel. l
had known him for several months be-
fore l discovered his occupation, and
when he incidentally mentioned it one
evening l was genuinely startled. He
was a professional collector of orchids.
There gro only two others in the Unit
Ell States and less than a dozen in the
world. Jamison's customers were
wealthy orchid faddists, and he made
regular trips for them to South Amer
lea He had also been to Africa and
Java, but the Amazon country was his
favorite stamping ground. 1t was a
strange life. and after the ice was broil-
en- he told me some wonderful stories
OF adventure. The plants he collected
were not the kind we ordinarily see at
greenhouses and esteem as such great
iarlties; his prizes We're freaks of iii"
floral world, far too difficult to secure
to ever get into the open market. Ii
yol have ever given any attention to
the subject you know. of course. that
the variations of the orchid. both as
TO shape and color. are almost infinite.
Jamison told me he had seen them
aping nearly every form of insect life.
Some would resemble enormous dragon
dies, with gorgeously tinted wings; 9th
ers would take the shape of beetles.
and still others seemed like magnificent
moths. The region where the finest
specimens We're found was rank With
fever and alive With all.sorts of venom
Gus reptiles. Jamison described ii as
the most beautiful and most horrible
country in the world. The business
was o or less of a gamble, he said,
and tho collector was never absolutely
certain about what he brought home.
The net result would be n lot of dry,
shriveLed bulbs which might develop
into superb blossoms and might put
forth nothing but a few insignificant
lHnls. Three-fourths of the find WAS
usually lost in transit. Jamison's health
had broken in his queer trade and he
WAS resting wlen 1 met him. About
the time l left Baltimore he wen TIC
New York to arrange for another trip
to the tropics, and l have never heard
from him since. If lie is alive | sup
pose he is still securing the jungles for
the plutocratic conservatory.s-New

Observation-Disclosures.


AT a recent meeting of the Anthro-
biological Society in Washington, DIR.
Matthes described the snake worship
of the Navajos, a New Mexican. tribe.
A Navajo, he said, never kills a snake.
If he finds one coifed in his path he
gently lifts it with u stick and losses it
aside. The Navajos think snakes are
very wise and understand the language
of men. At the same time they believe
snakes are evil, and will employ the
information they get by listening to
men for their disadvantage. Accord
ingly, the Navajos hold their most sa-
cred rites, and recite their myths only
in winter, when the snakes are hiber-
mating and cannot overhear them.

is undoubtedly made by the w. l.. Doug
las Shoe Co. of Brockton, Mass. The one
idea of this company has always been T.,

of there being no middle mans profit, as
the goods are sold direct from the factory
to the care In sixty of the principal
cities OF the country they have their W
retail stores. The goods are made in all
sizes and widths. and few shoes equal
them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs over
1.100 hands. and all labor troubles are
settled by the State Board of Arlitra-
ton. Nothing but union labov is en-
ployed. and pay about the best average

Hens That Eat Their Eggs.

We see every week directions for
teaching hens not to eat their eggs.
Most of them consist in filling an egg
shell with something that the hen will
not like to eat, such as soft soap and
carbolic acid, cheese curd and cayenne
pepper or some other nauseating dose.
We never had n hen that acquired this
habit, although we Were in the habit
Of giving the hens the shells of all the
eggs used in the house. A nest so
made that the hen cannot stand up In
1t, and so placed that she cannot stand
outside and reach in to break the egg,
should be an effectual cure for this egg
eating, but we think feeding the egg
shells and ration Of beef scraps
every day, with plenty of oyster or
clam shells always where they can
pick them as they please, is sure pre-
ventive. and to that we attribute our
never having the trouble among our
hens. If an egg is accidentally broken

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Prices Encourage Business - Stimulating
Features Of the Iron and Steel Trade.
Wheat Shipments.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade says: 1t is often hard to read
encouraging symptoms of general busi-
ness in declining prices OF commodities,
but just now it is reasonable to look
Tor them. Some raw materials and
some manufactured products, one stage
removed from the raw, are selling at
lower prices than at any time, since last
years advance set in; but there is con-
hdence among buyers that the down
ward swing is rearly over, while sellers
are adopting a cautious policy, which
until recently characterized the attitude
OF buyers. Iron and steel markets were
startled by reports OF sales OF steel bars
at 90 cents per 100 lbs, but business at
the same time was the largest in months
at Chicago on basis OF about SI25.
Increasing demand for bar iron from
makers OF agricultural implements and
car builders was a feature, contracts
placed being estimated at 10000 tons
in bars and plates. The trade believes
that orders will increase as the season
advances and that total needs of iron
consumers will compare well with last
year. Heavy bids appear for foundry
iron, buyers being uneasy, with output
reducing and selling prices OF many de-
scrlptions approxmating cost. Export
orders increase and makers do not fully
accept reports of purchases of foreign
rails for delivery in the South. Some
traders are not satisfied with the result
OF the Chicago conference pointing to
the report OF production OF pig iron in
the first half OF the wear, exceeding all
records and contrasting il with recent
dull markets. The foreign demand for
bituminous coal is heavy but producers
hesitate to contract shipments with
home prices tending upward.
