Catching Whales In St. Lawrence.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
 The St. Lawrence river whale fish ing industry is now running in full blast in the vicinity of Seven Islands. It seems that the company engaged in this work is now taking on an ag- craze whale every day. There arc so many of these animals in the gulf that these engaged in the industry are able to select one out of the many which are seen disporting themselves in the water. They are quickly dis patched by lance which is fired into them out of gun on board the fish ing steamer, and to the lance is affixed a bomb which explodes inside the whale after entering its body. Some are eighty feet long and weigh as much as 120 tons. One whale will often yield fifty or sixty barrels of oil. and a large quantity of whalebone, which is worth $500 per ton.

Zulu Etiquette.

From the English Illustrated Magazine
 One of the most curious Zulu ideas is that expressed by the word "hlonipa." :" This originally meaning Ito be ashamed. |" or Ito behave modestly," Is synonymous with 'propriety'' or etiquette" and covers variety of curious customs For instance, woman must always ''hlonipa" the names of her father. her husband. the head of the family, and the chief. i. e. avoid uttering them; and in the case of a great chief the prohibition extends also to the men of the tribe. If the name happens to have meaning of it's own. some substitute must be found for it in ordinary conversation. It is as though English women whose family name was Smith were not allowed to talk about a blacksmith, but must call him worker in iron. Thus the women of the family whose name is "mtimkulu.' "The Great Tree" are obliged to find some other word for "a tree' or medicine" both of which are "mti' in Zulu.

From the New York Herald.

 He's a speed merchant, your honor answered Bicycle Policeman Jack" flag gerty, of the West Tooth street station.

 "A speed merchant, a shadow chaser, a Long Island humming bird a.
 Stop, stop!' yelled the magistrate. You'll have me blowing horn In a minute"
 Back in the court room some one booted "honkl honk!" and the bridge policeman shouted "Orderl orderi'
 Well, what was this-er-Standard oil consumer doing?" asked the magistrate
 Haggerty finally explained that Walsh had been speeding an automobile at 1ooth street and Central park west. Walsh was held in s100 bail for trial, and flag gerty was advised to be George Ade.

No More Women Clerks.

Hamburg Letter to the London Mail
 No longer will the traveller on the Prus- sian railway lines buy his ticket from young woman clerk at the booking office. By an order of the minister for railways the female clerks are to be superseded by men, The women who have been with drawn from the booking offices will be transferred to the telegraph and telephone services
 The change is due to constant disputes between the women and men employees These quarrels frequently ended in hys- terics and much weeping on the part of the women. and it was found that this had tho effect of disorganizing the ser vices
 Even in their business relations with the pubic the women clerks had a way of displaying 'nerves," which led to frequent complaints from passengers. The men have proved themselves far more equable, and are not so apt to insult ticket pur- chasers through the booking office win dows.

Cave DweIIers.

From Bulletin of the American Geo.
 graphical Society.
 Grottoes and caverns are used, more or less, as shelters by primitive peoples, and thus inhabited caves are, of course, most frequent In Africa. A consider able number of natives make their home In caves along the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar, and In some of these caves are found the polished stones and arrow heads of the stone age. Troglodye villages are frequent in the Tebessa ter ritory of Algeria, one of which, at Djeurf. 25O feet above the gorge of the Wado Hallail, Is reached by steps cut in the rock. The inhabitants of the Tunisian Island of Galite are cave dwellers, their habitations being grottoes which they have dug out of the limestone, or ancient burial caverns that they have enlarg ed The subterranean villages of Matmata and of Medenine, hewn out of the rock are in southern Tunisia. Christian monastery built under ground in the twelfth century still exists at Goba, Abys- sinia. The explorer, Chevalier found many troglodytes to the north of Bagu- irmi. The enormous cavern discovered several years ago within two hours walk of the part of Tanga in German East Africa contains rooms whose roofs are from 120 to 250 feet above the floor. Only a few of these vast chambers have yet been explored. for the entire cavern seems to be inhabited by millions of bats One of these, killed with a stick, meas ured nearly five feet across It's extended wings. The stories about the grottoes of Katanga, Congo Free State, which were said to have been dug by the natives as dwelling places, are now declared to have no other foundation than the fact that the natives often retire to openings in the dolomitic rock which serve as nlaces of refuge from their enemies Many troglodytes are living in caverns in Brit ish East Africa to the north of Mount Kenia.
