A Gain of 2l0 Daylight Hours.

With the close of summer we all
look back upon hours of wasted
sunlight, hours when air and light
abounded without being put to use.
We rose according to our winter
schedule, worked our accustomed
day, and found ourselves in the even
ings blessed, not by three or four
hours of extra daylight, but by one.
Now it is impossible for most of
US to play before breakfast. It
makes US late to our desks, and we
find that the work suffers from the
early physical exertion.. So we go
on, year after year, promising our
selves more play next summer, and
never getting anything but the
promise. Yet New South Wales and
Cape Colony have found a means Of
giving all their people 21O hours of
extra daylight every summer. They
do so simply by beginning the
workday earlier. At o'clock in the
morning of each Of the first four
Sundays in April the hands of the
clock are set forward twenty min
utes. BY the end Of the month,
therefore, the living time of the
people has been advanced an hour
and twenty minutes ahead of me-
ridian time Then, on the first four
Sundays in September the clock
hands are put back. The effect is
manifest:
BY gradual changes the day is set
forward earlier into the period of
sunlight. The factory opens at
twenty minutes of 6, not o'clock;
more important. STILL it closes at
twenty minutes of ;, not 6 o'clock.
The bank clerk reaches his desk st
twenty minutes of :, and leaves it
AT twenty minutes of 4. The mer-
chant throws open his front door at

In the United States. that of Mr.. and
Mrs Michael Hoffman, who live on a
farm in Brookline county
Eighteen members of this remarkable
family are still living. The father died

Three children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs Hoffman when they were residents
Of Minnesota, and the storlS came sew
enteen times after they arrived in South
Dakota.
OF the eighteen children who still sur
vive. nine are boys and nine girls. All
have received a good education, four
now being employed as teachers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoffman were also for
tunate In their financial affairs, and
accumulated large amount OF property
One interesting feature is that the
stork brought the children one at a

There She Bl0WSl"

That bulky old cetacean who first
made himself a subject of house
hold gossip by swallowing Jonah,
the son of Amittai, has been getting
a bit careless, with the result that
the New England town of New Bed
ford has begun to talk about the
revival of the whaling industry.
The good brig Sullivan has arrived
home with a catch of 1890 barrels
of oil boiled out of the blubber Of
eighty-fve monsters harpooned here
and there in the Atlantic. Although
the vessel was cruising for more
than two years. over a tenth Of the
catch-375 barrels Of oil-was OBJ
tanned in five days. This is a rec
ord, the whaling sharps say.
Indeed, the cruise of the Sullivan
skaters the idea that whales are
scarce. A few days before the Sui
livan came back the banks Bertha
and Josephine sailed away 10 the
whaling grounds; and, two days
after the Sullivan had locked, the
schooner Margaret passed out in
charge of a captain and a mate
who, after several years retire
ment, had yielded once more to the
lure of the sea and the prospects
of a return of the golden days of
yore.
Surely, there never was a more
fascinating business than this whal-
ing. 1t has been celebrated in
rhyme and novel. The daring ven
ture into the distant seas, the eager
search for sight of the spouting
giant, the combat. with its chances
Of life or death, as we'll as profit or
loss-all these elements have made
the name of New Bedford known all
over the world. Even the whale,
apparently, i keeping in working
order the old saying that fishing is
as good as ever. There she blows"
