WHALE STOLE THEIR LINE.
The Monster Also Made Away With {
Good Harpoon.

The Monster Also Made Away With a
Good Harpoon.
Up among the torn bergs of the
Arctic a monster whale is cruising
about with a harpoon embedded in his
thick back and something less than
half a mile of stout hempen rope
trailing after him.
The crew Of the steam whaler
Thrasher, which returned Sunday
night from an eight months cruise
in the icy north declare that Mister
Whale got all that was coming to
him.
HE got away from u.s." muttered
the mate, splitting viciously into the
scuppers, "but we will get him next
season. 1t was good rope we used,
and he'll get tangled up on something
so we will be one whale to the good
when We get back there.
HE was a bad one though. You
see Silva, the boat steerer, slung the
hook into him when we were in open
water between two big bergs. Off he
goes with the stick in his back, and
the rope went out like a man tum-
bling from the loft. He ducked and
dived until one tub of rope was gone,
and he did the same with another.
He was making for the nearest foe
and when he reached it he spit lot
of water into the air and took deep
dive. The edge of the ice cut the
rope like a knife and he was off for
good, with 1000 feet of the Thrasher's
line and a good harpoon with him."

Three Best Farm Machines.--I con
slider the three best machines for the
farmer to-day, writes a correspond
ent of Farm and Home, are the disk,
that sows the grain and turns the
earth all one way, thereby saving the
farmer half his labor and doing the
work better; the manure spreader,
which saves labor and does better
work, and the Irvine binder, which
does the same thing. They are trip
lets that have never been duplicated
on the farm. Of course, the thresh-
ing machine is also a special neces-
sity, but that is neighborhood ma
chine instead of being for the indi-
Vidual farmer.

White Deer and a Black Fox.

Something unusual in the animal
kingdom has just been killed by
Prince Edward hunters and brought
home. 1t is a deer pure white in col
or, save for two small black spots
back of it's ears. The animal is fine
looking stag and weighs about 200
pounds. It has a magnificent pair OF
antlers. The hunters were reticent as
to which member of the camp cap
tured this very unusual species, but
it is understood that Grant Sprague
of Big Island was the lucky shot. The
animal was found in the northern part
of Hastings or LennoX and Adding
ton.
Another unusual kill made by one
of the hunters was a black fox, now
a very rare animal, whose skin is very
