bone and little oil; the fnback and sui
phur- whales, of large size but
comparatively little value; and the bow
head, Greenland, or polar whale The
astis at home among the ice-felds, and is
now the most sought of all the whales OH
account of the excellent quality and large
quantity of its baleen. The maximum
length is Go feet, and it's bulk is immense:
the huge head represents third OF The
length, and the tail is 16 TO 20 feet across.
The largest bow-heads produce several
thousand pounds of bone worth five to
six dollars pound, and G,0Q0 or more
gallons of oil worth 40 cents a gallon.
In feeding. the baleen whales crop the
| lower jaw and swim forward rapidly,
and all kinds of small floating animals
fish, shrimp, winged mollusks-pass
into the yawning mouth. When the lower
jaw is closed, the plates of baleen are
forced upward and backward, the water
rushes through the sieve formed by the
hairs, the food is left behind, and is
swallowed by the aid of the tongue
Some of the baleen whales are said to
attain length of more than 100feet, and
there arc authentic records of examples
measuring between 80 and 100 feet. The
largest species of whale, and therefore
the largest of all living animals and the
| largest creature that ever existed, SO far
as we know, is the sulphur-bottom whale
of the Pacific coast. One of these was 95
feet long and 80 feet in circumference,
and weighed by calculation nearly 300,-
600 pounds. The sulphur-bottom whale
is further Distinguished by being the
swiftest of all whales and one of the most
difficult to approach; it glides over the
surface with great rapidly, often dis
playing it's entire length; and when it
respires the immense volume of vapor
which it throws up to a great height is
evidence of its colossal proportions

of brown, and a belt of kid to match.
a fiat brown silk braid with few
killings of taffeta, with faint tracery
of gold thread.
The high collar of the shirt was fin
ished with a hem-stitched cravat, and
the bolero was tied with brown
crepe de chine, tied with knotted
fringe ends. The smart little hat of
the Breton shape was tilted over the
eyes and was made entirely of two
shades of brown straw, with clusters
of green leaves and bows of straw at
the back l need not add that tha
smartest brown boots and suede gloves
of the same tone completed this ex-
tremely neat toilette.
Quite delightful are the old-fash-
toned embroideries which are used Oh
queer taffeta trimmings in pastel
shades. A very smart cloth frock IN
palest pastel pink, arranged with full
plated skirt, had panel of old-fash-
toned trimming up the center of the
skirt and bodice, which also formed a
yoke-piece over the shoulders. This
embroidery was carried out in soft
pastel pinks and blues, and was fur
Their decorated with some quaint braid
ings and shaded pink roses in raised
design. The neck and inner sleeves
were finished with rows of Valen-
ciennes lace on finely plated cream
batiste.
This particular toilette struck me as
being an excellent example of the pastel
cloth frock confined to subdued color
ings. 1t is mistake, which even we'll
dressed women are apt to make, when
adopting subdued tones, not to keep
to them throughout the toilette l dis
like even the contrast of the generally
becoming black hat.
The best trimmings, except those OF
oriental make, used on the harsher
stuffs, are of faint old-world, subdued
and neutral tones. Some of them re-
semble the work seen in old samplers,
but these, of course, are expensive and
are only used on beautiful cloths OF
fabrics Of Silllen texture.
One of the features of the late spring
will be the embroidered blouse in var:-
Gus fabrics, from very coarse linen to

it's great Importance first under Speak
er Reed with the adoption of the new
rules of the house, under which all the
most important legislation was enacted
under special orders adopted by the
committee, of course with the speakers
approval. Under Reed the rules COM
mittee was kept busy all the time. In
the Fifty-frst congress Cannon and
Mckinley We're the majority members
of it.
When Reed came back to the speak
ership he had with him Henderson and
Dalzell. Under Henderson the other
republicans on the committee were
Dalzell and Grosvenor, and they are
now Cannon's associates, but it is no
ticeable that these two members who.
with Henderson. were regarded as the
whole thing are not seen in the speak
er's room now nearly as often as some
of the younger members of the house
who, under the old regime, were not
highly regarded by the powers in con-
troll
Speaker Cannon is getting to lean
more and more upon Hemenway of In
diana and Tawney of Minnesota, one of
whom, now chairman of the appropria-
ton committee, was in the last con-
gress of Importance only as Cannon's
lieutenant, and the other of whom was
regarded as "kicker" altogether out
of favor with the men in control For
that matter. Cannon himself was out
side the breastworks and nothing but
his powerful individuality and his po-
sition as chairman of the appropria-
tions committee. which could not be
well taken away from him, gave him
position of standing and influence in
the house.
AS for the committee on rules it has
had very little to do during the present
session. 1t has hardly been necessary
to bring in a special order for the pur-
pose of putting through any measure
of Importance. and without special or
ders the committee on rules becomes
somewhat superfluous body.

SURPRISED WIDOW BROWN.
True Story of How Some Boys Had
Real Fun Which Made Several
Persons Happy.

''Now, boys, I will tell you how we
can have some fun" said Frank to his
playmates, who had come together one
bright moonlight evening for sliding
and snowballing.
What is it?" asked several at once.
you will see," said Frank "Who
has wood saw"
Il have" so have L." replied three
Of the boys.
Get them, then, and you and Fred
and Tom each bet an ak, ald will get
a shovel. Let's be back in ten min
utes.'
The boys all started to go on their
several errands, each wondering of
what use wood-saws and axes and
shovels could be in play. But Frank
was much liked by all the boys and
they fully believed in what he said.
and they were soon together again.
Now" said he, Widow Brown, who
lives in that little house over there,
has gone to sit up all night with sick
child
"A man brought her some wood to-
day, and heard her tell him that, I'M
less she got someone to saw it to-
night, she would not have anything to
make fire with in the morning
Now we could saw and split that
pile Of wood just as easily as we could
make snowman on her doorstep, and
when she comes home she will be
greatly surprised"
One or two of the boys said they did
not care to go, but most of them
| thought it would be fine fun
| 1t was not long and tiresome job
for seven strong and healthy boys tc
saw, split and pile up the widows half
cord OF wood and to shovel good
| path.
When they had done this, so great
was their pleasure that one OF them,
who had at first said he would not go,
proposed that they should go to car
penter shop near by, where plenty OF
shavings could be had, and that each
| should bring an armful.
| They all agreed to this, and when
they had brought the shavings, they
went to their several homes, more
than pleased with the fun Of the even
| ing.
The next morning, when the tired
widow returned from watching by this
sick bed mad saw what was done, she
was indeed surprised, and wondered
who could have been so kind.
Afterward, when friend told her,
how it was done, her earnest prayer,
God bless the boys!" was enough of
itself to make them happy.--Our Dumb
Animals.

THE WHALEBoNE WHALES.
Their "Baleen" Is the Most Valuable
Product Obtained by Arctic
Sea Fishermen.

Another group of whales have no teeth,
but the mouth is provided with several
hundred closely packed horny, flexible
plates or slabs suspended from the roof
of the mouth and hanging on each side
like curtain, so that when the mouth
is opened as wide as possible their ends
are received within the lower jaw. These
plates, which in some whales are nine
or ten feet long, have pointed, frayed
extremities, and are lined with long, stiff
hair. This peculiar substance in the
mouth of whales, which is called baieen,
or whalebone, although it is not bone, is
now the most valuable product which is
yielded by these creatures; and to obtain
it thousands of men brave the dangers of
the seas, of the Arctic ice, and of the
chase, killing the whales by hurting har-
poons and shooting explosive bullets into
them from small boat
Among the various kinds of whalebone
whales is the right whale, which reaches
a length of 60 feet and yields 200 barrels
of OIL and 1000 pounds of long, valuable
baleen; the humpback whale, which is
sometimes Is feet long, but has short

Game Bird Won the pav.

A game cock and bull terrier pup had
rounds all to themselves on the side
walks of New Haven recently. The bird
was walking up and down in a stately
manner, now and then inspecting an
apple that lay on the sidewalk, when the
pup spotted it. He looked the situation
over carefully and drew near to the bird.
Once or twice he circled about and then,
after having INDUCED in round of look
ing, jumped forward. The game cock
met him fairly and, ruffing up his feath-
ers, made jab at the dog. The terrier re-
treated. Again he repeated his maneu-
vers, but the bird went up in the air foot
or two and landed on the dog, who re-
treated hastily. BY this time the game
bird was become quite excited and wos
forcing the fight, while the pup SCENE /. to

used by the agri- LOOKING LOT bulto-
cultural depart hs sue
ment. 1t was provided that it should
be situated in the Mall near the pres
ent department and the selection Of
the site has been left with the secre-
tary of agriculture, who has caused a
sensation by picking out place which
will cut off large portion of the vista
between the Washington monument
and the capitol that has been one of
the greatest beauties of Washington
for hundred years. If congress could
get at the thing it would pass law,
with little or 10 opposition, which
would prevent the location of the new
building in the place selected by the
secretary and would compel it to be
moved back hundred feet or SO, thus
saving an architectural blurder which
could never be remedied. But Speaker
Cannon refuses to let any bill of this
kind come up in the house and Repre-
sentative Powers, who has introduced
the bill, finds himself helpless So do
the senators who are deeply interested
in the matter.
Uncle Joe" has an aversion for ar
chitects and all their works. He is es-
pecially out-of-sorts with the scheme
of the so-called park commission,
which would fix permanently the archi-
tectural development of the city along
the lines of L'enfant, the French genius
who first laid out the map OF the cap
ital. He is filled with Indignation
whenever he thinks of the work of
Architect McKim, which has made the
white house thing of beauty, and he
is determined that so long as he has
anything to say about it the architects
shall not be given any further leeway
in the development of the city
Uncle ice" is in a decided minority
numerically. in this position, but it
happens to be about the only one in
which the great majority of congress
does not gladly follow his lead, Sc that
he is likely to have his own way about
it SO long as he remains at the head
of the house.
In the meantime Secretary Wilson
will doubtless go ahead with his plan
and will erect on the Mall magnif1-
cent public building, which will de-
stroy for all time one of the most OK
traordinary attractions of the capital
from an artistic point OF view.

house will adopt the committees re-
port. If this happens the house will
present the case to the senate and then
will follow trial which may occupy
the senate for weeks
The last case of impeachment was
that of Secretary Belknap in the Grant
administration. The house Of repre-
sentativcs in 1876 voted to impeach
Belknap, but before the trial came to
q conclusion in the senate, Belknap re-
signed from his position as secretary
of war and that was the end of it, al
though question arose as to whether
the resignation Of a government official
could properly be accepted in such
circumstances.
The most famous Impeachment case
is that of Andrew Johnson in the For
tieth congress, the result of which ev-
serybody is supposed to know. John
son was impeached by the house, but
after long trial the senate failed to
convict him, the vote standing 35 ayes
to 10 noes, one less than the two-thirds
majority required by the constitution.
The first impeachment case was that
of William Blount, United States sena-
tor from Tennessee He was impeached
for violating the neutrality laws of the
United States in instigating the Creeks
and Cherokees to aid the British in
conquering the Spanish territory of
western Florida. He was found guilty
and expelled on July s, 1897, but during
the trial he was elected to the state
senate of Tennessee and chosen It's
president.
All other impeachment cases have
affected federal judges, as follows:
John Pickering, district judge of New
Hampshire, 10000; Samuel Chase, as
sociate justice of the supreme court of
the United States, 1SO4-05; James Peck,
United States district judge for Mis-
souri,, 1S26-1831; West w. Humphreys,
United States district judge for Mis-
souri,, 1861.

was over and all was still again. While
the Alliance was in the China seas Beep's
master received his discharge, but as the
crew had become greatly attached to
the dog he left her behind with his ness
mates when he returned to America.
She was, however. a dog of deep affec-
tons, and pined for him so much that
she sickened and died while the ship
was at Nagasaki, to the great grief of
all on board.
Owing to her 20 years in the navy it
was decided to bury her with all the
honors accorded to dead comrade, so
the tiny body was borne to grave in the
public gardens by guard of sailors and
marines and buried tothe mournful notes
of the dead march. A volley was fired
over the grave and taps were sounded by
the ships bugler.-N Y. Herald.

say that canvas, hopsacks and rather
hard makes of alpaca will be used.
These harsh materials form direct
contrast to the clinging crepon de
sole, and crepe de chene which are
more than ever to the fore for recep-
ton froclls and afternoon toilettes
Coarse alpacas and rough canvasses
are excellent for hard wear, and wolfe,
too, of substantial make will be used
for the new kind of plating, killing,
etc.
Canvasses bid fair to take the place
of the regulation serges, and they
really are admirable for the bolero and
skirts for every day wear. think they
are better when made up into the full,
plated skirts than when used plain,
for here they show directly any pulling
or rubbing. But closely killed or
plated with a bolero style of coat to
match, and worn with neat shirt, the
canvas toilette becomes feature OF
the spring.
