its Young alive and suckles it as a COW or sheep
would. The cub IS often ten or twelve feet long
at birth. Parental oversight is sometimes exer-
cised for a year During that time, should her
offspring be attacked. the mother will give strik-

obvious reasons the true fish never exhibits the
latter emotion.

wonderful and unique contrivance. From the
roofs of their mouths depends a series of thin
elastic plates. composed OF horny material, and
provided with frnged edges These plates ex-
tend crosswise, and in some specimens more
than three hundred of them are packed away
in that enormous cavity The brushlike lower
surface of this apparatus called "baleen," sep

is taken into the whales mouth in huge Gulps-
For many years it proved useful to the maker
of umbrellas. corsets and horsewhips on

creature, sometimes called the Greenland" and
"bowhead" whale, haunted Arctic seas. 1t
rarely exceeded sixty feet in length The ror-
quail the largest Of all whales, is also equipped
with baleen.
1t is conceded that the whale is derived from
some terrestrial mammal, and that it has un-
dergone considerable notifications Of structure
to adapt it to its present environment. Two
lines of inquiry have been pursued to determine
it's ancestry though neither Of them has yet
afforded very satisfactory results. One of them
is a comparison With aquatic animals that re-

COURT HOUSE FEE SYSTEM.

The fee system in paying for the SER
vices of county officers ought to be abol-
ished. 1t is fraud and a cheat. We
presume that this system was adopted as
a measure of economy, and was intended
to measure the pay by services rendered,
on the theory OF no service no pay. That
was good enough when there was COM
paratively little business transacted in
the county offices. 1t is all wrong now
wher the volume of business make the
system burden by increasing the pay
for services out OF all proportion to the
value of the services ren Tered. An
illustration Of this occurred during the
present term OF the couri. In case lie.
fore the court it val necessary TO prove
the real estate holdings Of a defeIdan .
To do this the court called
upou Recorder OF Deeds Clark TO bring
the necessary records OF his office into
urt. This meant that he should carry
these records from his office on the first
floor Of the court house up one flight oi
stairs to the court room. The
selection OF the required records
was the work of but few moments; the
transfer from his Office to the court room
was service such as persons outside of
public office render for very small pay.
MIR. Clark took into the court room
seven books, for which his fee, ii we are
rightly informed, is seven dollars-one
d lllar for each book. The service was
ivial. The pay was enormous. Here

order the public servant, in whose Gus.
tody these public records are, to produce
them in court. This public servant car
ries seven books from one room in the
court house and up one flight OF stairs to
another room in the court house, ser.
vice requiring only few minutes for its
performance, at least not an hour, and
the charge for this brief service is equal
to two days pay OF skilled mechanic.
If this charge lies against and must be
paid by the loser in this case, it is an ex-
tortion; if it is paid by the county it is
inexcusabe wa tie Of public money.

Sweetheart Suspected of Murder.

Altoona, Pa, June 1.-THE authorities
here are investigating the mysterious
death of David Brown, brass molder,
who died suddenly last Monday and who,
it is believed was murdered. Suspicion
is directed against his sweetheart, with
whom he quarreled on the day before his
death and who has since made several at
tempts at suicide. She was in Browns
company on Sunday night, and after his
sudden death his body at once turned
black. She was notified to attend the
inquest and drank laudanum. Prompt
attention saved her life.
