From the Golden Penny.

Il AOAil thC 0CloClA L NtAAJs
1t is astonishing with what zeal ev-
cry means of earning an honest penny
is piled in Paris. No city in the world
has so many queer little trades by
which those practicing them scrape to-
gether enough sous to make a living.
One of the most characteristic of these
strange tradesmen is the dog barber.
The faYorite dog of the Partisan is
the French poodle, or 'mouton," as he
is popularity called. 1t is chiefly for
his benefit that the dog barber exists.
His headquarters are the banks of the
Seine. Here the main body can be
found at all times, though in the sum-
mer some go about the city carrying
on their occupation from house to
house. In the hot days one contin-
ually hears the long-drawn- cry,
"To-o-ndeur de chiens," and meets
the familiar figure of the dog barber,
with his box of instruments slung over
his shoulder. Many of them have
their regular customers, whose houses
they visit at stated intervals to make
the toilet of those privileged poodles
for the Paris mouton is the spoiled
child" among dogs. He is clipped,
brushed, combed, perfumed and gen.
orally has his top knot fastened
with a pink or blue ribbon. Some even
wear gold or silver bracelets around
one paw.
The result has been the development
of the dob barber as an artist. He
clips and shaves his customers dogs
in most elaborate fashion. Some are
left with shaggy names, with a tuft
at the end of their tails, to initiate a
lion. Others, again, are clipped in
stripes, making them look like black
zebras, and others have their faces
clipped and nothing left but a pair
of fierce mustaches, with fluffy brace
let's of hair around each foot.

AT 2 o'clock we were leaving Adj
m1ralty Island. The sheltered sound
at this point is the play and feeding
ground for countless whales, and on
this memorable afternoon we had been
| running through a school scattered on
either hand, blowing and diving and
sleeping on the surface. Some one on
board shouted that thrasher was at
lacking a whale. The ships speed
was slackened, and as the eager pas
sengers crowded to the rail it gave
list to port. Man has never witnessed
more fearful conflict than that which
occurred the next half hour.
The thrasher is a most peculiar fish.
While it is in shape the counterpart
of a shark, its main weapon of Of
fence instead Of its mouth, is its tail,
the tips of which are as hard as bone.
Before the startled whale could get
INTO motion the long, black, flail-like
tail we had seen poise and strike re-
peated the blow three or four times in
quick succession. The report of every
| blow came to us across the water as
though man had slapped his thigh
| with his palm.
Then the whale dived, and it was
plainly his intention to sweep the en-
envy from his hold by a rush. But
neither fish remained under water
longed. With a leap like that of a
monster brook trout, the whale cleared
the surface, and for an instant formed
| hugh arch. He was free of the wa
ter from his head to the tip of his tail.
AS he dropped in again he began to
squirm and struggle and churn with
ms TAIL until the sea seemed to boil
for the space of an acre or more.
Notwithstanding that UP to this
time we had noticed only the whale
and the thrasher shark, it quickly be-
came apparent that a third combatant
was in the field. This combatant we
soon learned was Swordfish, the
thrashers inevitable hunting COM
panion. The swordfish grows to
length Of II or 10 feet, with
sword or feet long; and small as
he is in comparison with the whale, he
is capable of doing terrible execution
with his weapon. 1t is an established
fact that a large swordfish can ram
through eight inches of oak.
When the combat had continued for
fifteen minutes the shark accomplish
ed what appeared to be his objective
point He obtained a grip with his
| teeth upon the whales jaw and as he
chung there, delivered blow after blow
upon his monster enemys quivering
side. The swordfish did not leap fully
out Of the water as did the other two,
pNb ~ wac pam lIUlll Tie DSIdNiOA ~
the whale, when he dived for re-
spite from the thrasher, that he was
being given an uncomfortable time be-
low.
And so the fight ragged. The whale,
driven from the depths by the sword
fish, would leap clear of the water
and then, falling back, would dash
back and forth until finally The water
was dyed red all about. At each con-
vulsive leap, toward the end of the
fight, the whale seemed to grow weak
er, while the thrasher and the sword
fish maintained their strength. There
was only one way for the battle to
terminate, and so in the end the whale
lay still upon the surface. He was
dead. When all was over our snip
gathered way and proceeded to the
Klondike."
