Among the tales of the whale nah.
cry told by John X. spears In "Ths
Story Of the New England whalers"
is that Of the loss OF the Ann Aleran-
der OF New Bedford. This ship wac
on the "offsbore grounds" west Of
Chile and Peru, when on Aug. 20, 1860,
a pod" Of whales appeared, and three
boats were lowered, Captain John 8.
Deblois going In one OF them. The
mates boat soon struck one Of the
pod" but the monster instantly turn
ed with jaws open, and the men fed
overheard just in time to save their
lives. A moment later the whale bit
the boat to pieces. E
Captain Deblois at once pulled Ia,
picked up the boats crew and shifted
a part Of them to the second mates
boat. Then both the captain and sec
ond mate started to attack the whale,
which had been busy meantime Biting
at the pieces of the boat II had de-
stroyed. In the usual course O whale
thus engaged would not have noticed
the approach Of the boats for Sec
ond attack, but this one had ITS eyes
open, aud IL turned to meet the enc
my more than halfway.
Rushing forward with force and
speed that no boat could escape, IL
grasped the second mates boat, as tt
had that of the mate, aud literally
made kindling wood of It, -

ed for the ship. and when there he
sent the mate to gather up the oars
and such other debris as might have
escaped the fury of the whale. In his
view ii was his duty TO All his ship
with oil and not to whale for glory"
as persistence In lighting whale OF
this kind was sometimes called.
The mate, however. was of more
reckless disposition. He managed to
get within range Of the whale ana
thrust q lance into It. Unfortunately,
however, he failed TO reach a vital
| point, and the whale. ignoring the
small boat, made a dash at the ship.
! He struck her abreast Of the foremost
and crushed in her side. She sank 90
| quickly that the crew was unable to
secure anything. and they would have
perished speedily In their open boats
but for the fact that they were picked
up by another whale ship.

NAVAL RED TAPE.
The Rssult Of Having Neither coffins
Nor Graves In Stock.

Nor Graves In Stock.
A case once occurred. which is
voucbsafed for by naval officers who
were present and who tell Of 1t as
Joke, showing the absurdities to which
red tape can 90. About twenty years
ago a certain ship was in foreign
port. One of the men was taken sick
and on the recommendation Of the sur
geon was sent to a hospital on shore.
The man finally died. and II became
necessary to bury him.
The simple and straightforward
method would have been to call IN an
undertaken and have him arrange for
O decent casket and lot IN the Gem
etery. This would be the usual proce-
dure with business man or ordinary
citizen. The regime Of economy aud
reform, however. would not permit OF
so simple q course. What actually oc.
CURED was this. ~
The surgeon made requisition on
the paymaster for one coffin. Natu
rally be did not have one I'm stock and
therefore II was forwared to the feet
pay master, who also, not being In the
undertaking business, had no ootfint
on hand. Then the admiral directed
the feet paymaster to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from sir
reputable dealers. The same course
had to be followed I'm securing the
grave. The surgeon made requisitior
on the paymaster for one grave
Strange as 1t may seem, the paymas
ter had no graves In stock Neither
had the feet paymaster. Consequent,
the commander In chief directed tn,
feet paymaster to procure bids from
six reliable dealers In graves and pur
chase one from the lowest responsible
bidder.
All this. of course, is screaming
farce. but 1t 10 the horrible exampl,

An Old World Practice That Goes Back
to Bible Times.

An Old World Practice That Goes Back
to Bible Times.
"salting" newly born infants, prac-
tice that dates far back to Biblical
times. still obtains in many parts OF
the old world. The Armenians In the
Russian government OF Erlwan cover
the whole surface of the babes body
with fine salt. especial care being
taken with the interstlces between the
fingers and all depressions. such as the
armpit and the bend of the knee, so
that no point shall remain unsalted.
The unhappy infant Is left In the
salt for three hours or longer and is
then bathed In warm water.
The Armenians of some districts,
having abandoned the practice. are
called ''unsalted" and are despised by
the others.
The modern Greeks also sprinkle
their babes with salt. II an enlight-
ened mother protests the midwife Is
ready with the objection. But II 1t
isn't salted 1t will be puny and will
never amount TO anything"
II this sailing process Is carried on
to excess the poor babes don't stand It
at all. The skin becomes as red as
0re, the irritation Is irtolerable, and
the child dies In convulslons. Yet
there Is a mountain tribe In Asia MI
nor that mercilessly salts its newborn
babes for twenty-four hours, which
shows that the limits of human en-
1urance are wide In some cases. This
ancient custom Is still in vogue IN
many parts OF Germany. but the rites
are merely symbolical. In one district
little salt Is rubbed behind the
child's ears. In others u pinch OF salt Is
put on the tongue or little paper OF
salt is inserted under the garment. II
gives understanding. the people say
and wards off evil spirits.
The action of salt In keeping meal
sound no doubt is the reason that this
strengthening and sustaining power
was ascribed to II. The usage became
common In eastern countries, and !,
was not entirely confined to them. The
| prophet Ezekiel referring to the de
generacy Of jerusalem, says:
"Neither vast thou washed In water
to supple thee; thou vast not salted al
all nor swaddled at all"
To many oriental tribes this means
grave omission Of parental duty
