An Abstract Iden,

At a card party at Charles Lambs
Hazlitt aud Lambs brother got into a
discussion as to whether Holbein's col
orlng was as good as that Of Vandyke.
At length they became so excited that
they upset the table and seized each
other by the throat. In the struggle
Hazlitt got black eye, but when the
combatants were parted Hazlitt turned
to Talfourd, who was offering his aid,

A Tsper story.

There is a story current at Kuloang,
central China. about a tiger which gave
trouble in that quarter. a missionary
and his wife had been worried by the
tiger prowling nightly around their
home. They determined to be rid Of
it and one night tied cow up in the
back yard and a dog at the front of the
house. Then they armed themselves
with guns and kept watch. The tiger
appeared. The missionary fired and
killed the cow. The wife rushed to
see what had happened, and in her abb
sence the tiger ate the dog.

SOME QUEER NOTIONS
odd EeIicfs About Animals That
We're Held b. our Ancestors.

ODD EeIIcfs About Animals That
We're R~ld b. our Ancestors.
Our respected ancestors had some
queer notions In regard TO natural his
tory. Old Sir Thomas Browne, in his
Enquiries Into Vulgar and Common
Errors, dlsensse7 maay OF these THAT
a brock or badger hath the legs on one
AIDE shorter than. on the other" he
says. though an opinion perhaps not
very ancient. is yet very general This
bclaf was received not only by theo-
ri3is. but by most Of those who had
daily opportunity 70 behold and hunt
them; yet Sir Thomas could not nc-
cept this belief, because II seemed mo
easy anront into reason and generally
repugnant unto the course OF nature
Wherever lac looked he saw that the
limbs of animals on the opposite sides
OF their bodies were OF the same length
and number and that none Of them had
an odd leg. one would think that the
question might have been put beyond
cavil by simply measuring the limbs
Of the animal. but perhaps they never
thought OF that
The worthy knight, however, could
accept the basilisk. though II does moi
seem that hc ever saw one and did not
question It's power 20 kin by "inhictlng
lts eye,p as old DR. Parr would have
expressed It, upon its enemy. And
why not? "For IL plagues or pestilen
tinl atoms have been conveyed In the
air from different regions, If men at q
distance have infected each other, II
the shadows Of some trees be noxious
II torpedoes deliver their opium at d
distance and stupefy beyond them
selves, we cannot reasonably deny" h'
says. "that there may proceed from
subtler seeds more agile emanations
which contomn those laws and lnyad'
at distance unexpected" But Their
was limit TO the creduliiy OF Sl
Thomas. and as for the generation o

HUNTING WHALES
Exciting as Well as Dangerous
Sport.

Sport.
Hunting bottlenose whales in droves
Is an entirely different sport from or
dinary whaling. but it is almost as ex-
citing and quite as dangerous.
The sport is practically unknown
outside Of the Shetland ana Farce Is
lands. but there it is almost a regular
occupation and yields a handsome
profit A whale drive may produce
So. 600.
The deep woes. or bays. Of the
islands are the scenes of the hunts.
land the time Is usually In late summer
or autumn.
The animals are called Gazing
whales by the islanders, and they are
from 10 to "a feet long with shiny
black backs. They go in herds, and as
many as 300 have been driven ashore
at one time.
No cry produces in the Shetlander
greater excitement than that Of
''Whalesi Whalesi" AS soon as a
shoal is seen near the coast the news
spreads like wildfire, and every able
bodied man-and sometimes women,
also-is on the scene armed with old
guns. harpoons, scythes. long knives, or
any other lethal weapon that comes
handiest
Boats are speedily launched and
LOADED with small stones and rowed
out till they are brought to seaward OF
the whales Then when the boats have
been ranged in something like a semi
circle a noise as of pandemonium is
raise. Everyone shouts and yells TO the
utmost extent of his voice. The whales
are playing on the surface of the water
coming up to "blow" or spout.
Stones are thrown at the frightened
creatures. which are gradually forced
toward the nearest and shallowesi
beach. where they ground IL their pur-
suers have been successful in keeping
them together.
Whale Drive Means Valuable Prize.
, For wild excitement, utter disregard
for personal safety ruthlessness in th'
attainment of the object the Shetland
whale hunt is perhaps unequaled b!
any other form Of sport--if sport i
can be called. The hardy northern
r fishermen will dare anything and d.
anything to be in at the death at
e whale hunt. This keenness is prob
} ably not so much due to the sporting
) instinct as to the fact that a whal
drive means a valuable prize.
The whales. after being killed. ar
drawn up on the beach and fiensed-
that is. the blubber is cut off and pu
i'm casks and sold for the oil which
0 contains and which is extracted b
+ subsequent boiling. The carcasses ar
t left on the strand to drift away wit
u the tide, or used for manure.
+ Whale steak does not at first seel
Y very appetizirg morsel, yet it is sal
to be not unpalatable. The flesh whe
raw resembles coarse beef, becomin
very dark in color when cooked. 1t i
i however, tender and digestible, and
taste resembles beef with a game fla
vor. Shetlanders would spurn such
dish. but the people Of the Farce is
lands eat whale flesh to this day, an
even dry it for consumption durir
"a the winter months.

The agricultural authorities at Bar
BADGES have been carrying out inves-
legations to ascertain the effect pro-
duced by falls of volcanic dust on in
sect pests and other parasites of the
field. The first examination was made
after the fall on October 16 last to
study the results. Taken or the
whole, the dust appeared to have ex-
ercised but little effect, most of the
insects having hidden themselves dur
ing the actual fall. Observations on
the following day showed that the
greater number of insects had escaped
unharmod Two-winged flies suffered
severely, there being notable alb
serce Of them after the dust. "Cow
bees" wild BEES" and other hymen-
optera suffered in the same way
Other groups practically escaped. sc
that the dust had little, if any, effect
on the pests. The destruction of two
winged flies, "cow hees," etc., is not
regarded as beneficial, as many OF
these serve to keep caterpillars and
other pests in check.

M. De Witte, who now holds the most
powerful portfolio in the empire of the
car. is a remarkable example of the
self-made man. AS was<perhaps to be
expected of a porter, he made his sue
cession in connection with railways,
and rapidly rose until. he obtained a
post as government director of rail
ways. He became minister of finance
some II years ago, and since then has
grown more and more powerful. A sim
pie and unostentatious man, M. De
Witte does not lack impressiveness. He
is a big man. He stands six feet one
inch in his stockings and his fraMe is
strong-limbed and muscular. His fore
head is very high and full and his hair
rises from it combed straight back with

HERE is only one good way to
bathe a baby. That only few
A mothers know about it is no
fault of mothers as a class, but is due
to the fact that there is only one ply
sician in Chicago whose nurses are
trained in it. For (the truth must
be told) it was a father, not mother,
who thought out this bit of nursery
wisdom It's as simple, too, as it is
good This is how you do 1t:
Add to the furnishing of your nur-
sery a small table. An ordinary kitch-
en- table, with a few inches sawed off
it's legs will do, although one that is
lighter and more easily handled is bet
ter. The only real requisite is that
The Starkville news., 1903-08-28

it be oblong and large enough to hold
the baby.
When it is time for the bath draw
the table up cozily to the open fire,
If the day is chill enough to warrant
q fire. Cover it first with a small
wooden blanket and then with a big
bath towel. Arrange the towel length
wise, so that one edge comes just to
the edge of the table nearest you,
while the rest falls over the edge next
the fire, so that it may be warming.
The best kind of tub is made of rub
Der cloth, draped on a folding frame.
This is so soft that the tender skin
cannot be hurt by contact with it's
surface. But it is likewise expensive,
and an ordinary tin or enamel tub an
swers every purpose. Whatever kind
your tub may be, bring it to the right
of the table, conveniently near. Have
at hand a bowl containing pure cas-
tile soap and a soft sponge and a soft
linen towel. Last of all, bring in the
water-and the bath thermometer! 1t
will tell no lies about the temperature
of the water, and a hand-even care
full maternal hand-sometime does, as
the howls and shivers of many mis-
erable infant have borne witness
When the Thermometer says that
the water is just 100 degrees hang it
up and close the door. You are ready
to begin.
