JAPANESE WHALERS.
The Curious Way They Do Thein

The Curious Way They Do Their
Work With Nets and Knives.
Whales are captured in nets by the
japanese. The whalers put or from
the shore as quietly rs possible, and
when they come within the proper dis
lance of their objective the boats,
which have hitherto worked in couples,
separate and. dropping their nets as
they 30, work around to the rear and
TANKS of their expected KILL Tie nets
are made III lnrce squares, each side
being about forty feet long One net
is composed cf six squares in line, and
lightly. When ali is ready the boats
which have been worked around to the
rear of the whale then commence to
drive him gently toward the nets. Nov
ing along laZily at first. the whale soon
realizes that something untoward Is
happening and, .hurryins forward,
dashes on to one of the nets This is the
critical moment, and when the fisher
men see that the whale is well in the
center of one of the squares they raise
IL great shout and charge in upon him.
When the whale is about spent man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck,
GOODNESS and general fitness for his
work then leaps upon his back and
with n great triangular shaped knife
proceeds to cut two great gashcs In his
body just bnck of his head Through
the underlying blubbcr and these two
gashes he passes rope and, knotting
1t, makes loop of it. He then repeats
the same operation as far back on his
body as he can. When the fight has
been completely knocked out of the
whale, boats range alongside OF him,
and by the help of the loops already
mentioned the hapless. cetacean is
slung between them in such n manner
as to minimize the danger of his car
cass sinking.
Then the boats form in procession,
and making for the shore, there COM
mences the most curious part of the
whole affair The Hhalers, with real
fervor and in Tie Lost solemn manner
possible, begin chanting prayer for
the ease OF the departing spirit by call
ing out "JoTaiSa. ,raku! Jorakuw in
low, deep tones Upon the third day
after the kill II memorial service is
held in the village temple, and prayers
are offered for the 'cpose of the dead

ALTERING a PICTURE.

Why, surely, madam said the
second painter. And lie took the pic

and returned it the next morning.
Later, meeting Alarkheim, he said:
"'"I had the audacity to alter a

was the landscape you sold the Count

to oblise her painted an old peasant

Marlheim frowned.

"'"oh, yes. there is road," said
the other.
"'"I can't recall It," said Markheim.
Finally, 10 settle the matter, they
went to the house of the countess and
stood before the picture.

CULTIVATE TACT.


it recognized that tact should

A SYMBOL OF PEACE.
The Dove Has Had This Distincssss
In All Ages Since the Flood.

The Dove Has Had This DistinotSea
In All Ages Since the Flood.
The dove has been pictured as the
bird of peace by writer's and artists in
all the ages since the time Of the food,
for the dove has figured In the SYM
bolism of mnny races and of count
less generations. According to the
Century Dictionary, the dove is the
bird of peace because of the Incident
recorded In the eighth chapter of Cen
esis: And 1t came to pass at the end
OF forty days that Noah opened the
window of the ark which he had made,
and he sent forth Il raven which went
to and fro until the waters We're dried
up from Off the earth. And he sent
forth dove from him to see If the
waters We're abated from off the face
of the ground, but the dove found no
rest for the sole Of her foot, and she
returned unto him in the ark. And
he stayed yet another seven days, and
again he sent forth the dove out of the
ark. and the dove came to him In the
evening, and, 10. in her mouth was an
olive leaf pluckei Off so Noah knew
that the waters We're abated from off
the earth"
Proper names derived from the dove
have always been used in the orient
as descriptive of lovelmess and were
especially applied to beautiful wo-
men. The dove was woven into the
pagan worship of ancient northern
Europe, and it has great place in
early Christian life and symbolism.
From imnemorial time the dove has
always been type of innocence to
the Jews. Elsewhere 1t has been as
ISOLATED since the Olymplan age with
the higher idea of Venus rs the SYM
Dol OF natural human affecton-the
love that goes with purity and sim
plicity of heart. 1t had part in mar
riage scenes and was naturally intro
duced by early Christian painters into
pictures Of the Madonna and child and
of female saints. These qualities of
gentleness and affection combined with
their mournful notes made doves
equally appropriate to moods of sor-
row, and they We're Il. part OF the furni.
ture Of most pagan funerals. This
passed on into Christian usage and
their likenesses, generally combined
with the olive branch, were carved
on the tombs in the catacMnbs be-
meath Rome and elsewhere, emblematic
of eternal peace.
In the Sporting Magazine for 1926
this appeared: pigeons are rarely
seen at the table Of the Russians, who
entertain II superstitious veneration for
these birds because the Holy Ghost as
sumed the form OF dove" Comment
Ing on this. a writer says, This GUS
tom of the abstinence from the flesh
of the dove is far older than Christian.
ity, being indeed in all probabilityseon-
nected with The same class of feelings
as those which marked it out as the
KlVan death bird"
Sir Richard F. Burton remarks: CIV
er since Noah's dove every religion
seems to consider the pigeon as the
sacred bird. For example, every
mosque swarms with pigeons, and the
same exist In most Italian market
places. The Hindoo pundits and the
old Assyrlan empire also have them"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

How many men work too hard? How
many do you know!
Every good husband is henpecked.
That's all there Is to it.
Classical music is like some people
very hard to understand.
1t is said that a farmer gets the best
work out of farm hand who Is aspir-
ing to be his son-in-law.
Perhaps one reason why poor man
lives longer than rich one is that the
doctors don't take SO much interest In
him.
When an economical man suffers a
ten dollar loss he cuts off expenditures
reaching to $50 before he feels right
about 1t.

humiliate yourself by acknowledging
them to your enemies, but to get over

King William LII. of England was
passionately fond Of the chase and
made it point never to be outdone In
any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted to the exiled
family, took advantage Of this to plan
the most pardonable design which was
ever formed against a kings life. He
regularly joined the royal hounds, put
himself foremost and took the most
desperate leaps in the hope that VIII
liam might break his neck in following
him. One day, however, he accom-
pllshed one 80 imminently dangerous
that the king when he came to the spot
shook his head and drew back. 1t is
said that Mr.. Cherry at length broke
his own neck and thereby relieved the
king from further hazard.
