Appetite Of the Whale.

A whales appetite is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists of jellyfish.
He has simply to open his mouth and
paddle along leisurely in order to take
in jellyfsh by the wagon load Such
is the method adopted by the whale
bone whale. The sperm whale, on
the contrary, captures huge sQuids
weighing often several tons. Like his
brother, the whalebone whale, he
must be constantly on the lookout for
food; otherwise he would starve. As
many as fourteen seals have been
taken from thirty-foot killer"
Other fishes Of enormous appetltes are
not uncommon. The bluefish, for ex.
ample, thrives on sardines and other
small fish. Assuming that one blue
fish eats ten small fish a day, II has
been figured that 1t requires 10000
million sarlines to feed the 1000 mil.
lion bluefish on our coasts every sum-
mer Most curious of all eaters Is
the HYDRA strange creature that
can be turned inside out without i'm.

And Worried Mother Doubtless Knew
Whereof She Spoke.
To illustrate a point he was making

year OF Hartford. Conn. told this
story:

long TO get aboard. and. as the mother
finally reached the top step and the
car began to move, the conductor ven.

En- Enormous Expense.

The expense of tuberculosis to the
people Of the United States, after
careful estimation by DR.. Biggs Of
New York. is placed at 100000. 900
says the American Medicine. He first
calculates the loss to New York city
by putting a value Of 81 500 upon each
life at the average age at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value Of the lives lost
annually of $1.500.00O. But this is
not all, for at least nine months prior
to death these patients cannot work.
and the loss Of service at 81 day
together with food. nursing, medi-
cines, attendance, etc, at $3.50 a day.
results In a further loss Of $4,000, 900,
making a yearly loss to the munich.
pality of s23,000,000 From the
whole country the 100000 deaths
from tuberculosis represent In the
same way loss of $3.50, O0OO 900. DIR.
Biggs also says that the total expen.
diture in the city of New York in the
care Of tuberculosis patients is not
over 100000 year, |. e., not to ex-
coed per cent of the actual loss by
death, etc. "If this annual expendi-
ture were doubled or trebled, it would
mean a saving of several thousand
lives annually. to say nothing Of the
enormous saving In suffering" Fur
Their evidence of this is shown in the
fact that In the last twenty years the
total deaths from tuberculosis in New
York have been decreased instead Of
increased, noty i'hstanding that there
has been an i.crease of 70 per cent
In the general population.

When little more than a boy George
Francis Train visited Washington and

introduction to the president. Gen.
Taylor. Train says In his autobiog.
raphy: II was at once ushered into
the presence Of Gen. Taylor, who sat
at his desk. The presidential feet
rested on another chair. At his re-
quest I seated myself opposite him
and from this point of vantage made
a hurried study Of his appearance. He
wore a shirt that was formerly white
but which then looked like the map
OF Mexico after the battle of Buena
Vista. 1t was spotted and spattered
with tobacco Juice. Directly behind
me. as | was soon made aware, was q

turned the flow of tobacco juice. l was

Two western young men happened to
be In New York at the same time, and
they invited the girle to go to the
theater. with little supper to follow.
The girls promptly accepted.
The hostess, in whose charge they
were, raised her hands In horror when
she heard OF It.

must be chaperoned on any such coca.
sion as that"
"Chaperoned!" exclaimed one Of the
girls. Why, Of course we will be
chaperoned. You don't suppose we'd
neglect such an important feature as
that, do you? We're not entirely ig.
norant Of social usages."
Then It's all arranged7"
"Of course ita all arranged"
I'm glad OF that" said the hostess
with relief, but 1t would have been
