SHOT x WHITE WHALE.
Entered English Salmon Net and Was
Shot by Fisherman.

A correspondent Of the London
Daily Graphic says: A specimen OF
that somewhat rare cetacean, the
white whale, or beluga, actually en-
tered salmon net recently at Naburn,
near York, in the river Ouse, some
thirty-ive miles or SO from the sea.
1t made short work of the salmon
net, but one Of the fishermen loaded
gun and fired at the unfortunate
whale. On the following day 1t was
found stranded in shallow water at
Cawood, not far from Selby. 1t was
then hauled up on to lorry and ex-
hibited round the countryside by its
captors. 1t weighed ten hundred
weight, measured a little over II feet
in length. and the expense Of the tail
was feet s inches. 1t was beau
tiful creamy white color when I saw 1t
stick. 1t had evidently come up SO
far from the sea in pursuit Of the
salmon. According to Bell" in the
White Sea 1t is very common, and
regular fishery Is carried on in the
spring and summer at Sofia, near the
mouth of the river Dvina. 1t pos.
sesses no dorsal fin, and, like most
members OF the family, it is gregari-
Gus, sporting, feeding and migrating
in herds of moderate numbers. Its
skin affords very useful leather, and
its blubber yields oil Of excellent quail
ity Its flesh is said to be much val
ued in Greenland. In the quaint Ian
guage of EGsde, ut has no bad taste,
and wher marinated with vinegar and
salt, 1t Il - well tasted as any pork

TOOK THE SHEEP BACK.
Collie Dog Evidently Had His Own
Conception Of Duty.

A story OF Scotch collie is cur
rent on the Derbyshire border, says
an English exchange. A farmer in
the Peak district, having purchased
a small flock of sheep in the Low
lands, drove the flock the whole way
from Scotland to his farm in Derby
shire with the aid of collie dog
which was lent to him by the Scotch
farmer from whom he purchased the
sheep. when you get TO your home
with the sheep" said the Scotchman,
'let the dog fill his belly; then tell
him to go home" The Derbyshire
man duly arrived at his farm with
the sheep, and was so pleased with
the collie dog and its performance
that he decided to keep 1t few days
before sending 1t back. One day he
was away from home during the whole
of the day, and on returning In the
evening he found that the Scotch col
lie was missing, and also the flock of
sheep. In few days tidings came
that the dog had arrived at his Scotch
home and had brought the sheep back
with him.

Medieval Ideas Of Women.

John Nevisan, who died in Turin In
1910, stated the medieval notion of
women in his sylvia Nuptials," when,
after remarking that the Author of
Good had made women entirely with
the exception of her head, he added
briefly: "Permisit Deus illud facere
daemonio" Good let the devil make
that''). In the same century Jean
Raulin preached that man, composed
of clay. is silent and ponderous; but
woman gives evidence Of her osseous
origin by the rattle she keeps up" 1t
was another Frenchman. Henrion, the
orientalist, who was gracious enough
to allow woman the supremacy in one
respect at least. With minute accur-
acy he fixes the height of Noah at 1O3
feet, OF Moses at 13 feet, of Hercules
at 10 feet, of Alexander the Great and
julius Caesar at and feet, respect

New Hyde Park, L. I.
Recently some wheels for farm wag-

have tires nine inches wide and the
hubs, spokes and felloes are heavy
An express bound east rushed past
the depot and the vibration caused one
Of the heavy wheels to roll from its
position against the freight house and
along the platform in the wake of the
train, and then out upon the rails,
where 1t fell. 1t lay SO that 1t was
difficult to see it because OF the sta

hap except the boy, who was looking
out of the door. His mother was sit
ting in the waiting room.
After the train had passed he re-
turned to his mother and told her
that one of the big wheels had rolled
of the platform. She told him he was
mistaken, but he insisted and said it
was out on the track. Mrs. Biedlinger
finally went out on the platform TO
see what the child meant and at once
saw the danger. She first tried to
lift it, but was unable and so called
out Station Agent Ferrant. Less than
a minute after the wheel was removed

trout, with which he has, partly at
least, supplied the local market, be-
sides furnishing thousands Of small

not pressed closely and were not COM

court not being out of the blue and
