WORLDS LARGEST BEAST.
Whale Eighty-seven Feet Long in

Whale Eighty-seven Feet Long in
New Zealand Zoo.
Prom ths London Globe.
What is claimed as the largest animal
in the world is represented by a colossal
skeleton in the museum Of Christchurch.
New Zealand This is the remains OF
large specimen Of the blue whale strand
ed on the coast Of that country. This
whale is probably the largest of all living
animals The length Of the skeleton Is
eigthy-scven feet. and the head alone is
twenty-one feet. The weight Of the bouss
il estimated at nine tons. This gigantic
whale gets It's name of blue whale from
the dark blush gray OF its upper surface.
The tinge OF yellow on It's lower part has
led 10 the name sulphur bottom" By
which It is known on the western side OF
the Atlantic II is otherwise known as
Sibbalds rorQual (Balenoptera sibbaldiD.
The chief food Of this gigantic animal
is a small marine crustacean (ThysanO-
poda inermis). known TO the whalers as
"kril" Another species Of the same
shrimp-like group has been obtained IN
thousands from the stomachs Of mackerel
caught on the Cornish coast. The nearly
related opossum shrimps, found in enor-
nous numbers I'm the Greenland seas,
form the chief food Of the common whale.
Some of the thysanopoda are phosphor

of the sea.

THE COUNTRY'S WEALTH.

names are popularity associated. Approx

moderate. Some OF the persons hold a
large number of shares-larCer than doz-

sate-but the great bulk OF them are
very far from being plutocrats. More
over, the bonds OF all these interests are
also distributed among a large number or
persons. Many thousands OF owners OF

Many millions Of dollars OF bonds and
stocks are held In trust for women and
children. The number so held. and the
number held I'm small sums by lndlvidu-
ais are constantly and rapidly increasing
This is especially true az the present
time Speculation Is relatively dull The
operations on the great exchanges are
small compared with those Of recent
times. This shows that a far larger num-
her Of the stocks have been bought out
night and are held as investments than
was the case in any previous time More
than a third OF the 10000 persons who
hold stocks OF the United states Steel
Corporation are employees OF the many
scores OF mills and mines which are rep
resented In that combination. In the ap-
proXimately 100 national banks. with a
capital Of $l,00O00o00. there are about
400 900 stockholders, fourth OF whom are
women. Yet. according to the popular
view. the national banks are owned by
their officers and directors.
The 100000 stockholders OF the various
corporations OF the United States were
only about 100000 ten years ago. They
are likely 10 be 100000 ten years hence.

DOGS AND TRAMPs.

Give the dogs and tramps a chance
To get some food ard lodging.
And ycu may. in time advance
In mercy without lodging
Give the dogs and tramps their due
When hunger gnaws their bowels:
Often torture comes % you
Too keen fer verbs or novels
Give the dogs and tramrs word
OF nassipg. honest kindness.
And So may be gladly heard
By struggling brutes in blindness
Give the dogs and tramps some bread
To turn aside their RFieYing.
And when they are housed and fed
They'll drift away from thieving.
Give the dogs and tramps cold drink
From kitchen. hail, and fountain.
And they may quickly sneak and sink
Into some vale OF mountain

Pleasant the days of the fall with an
atmosphere hazy,
Though ripened verdure may change
unto hues brown and yellow
Ere the frost's touches have painted it
scarlet and bla2y,
Ere the sweet pawpaws are black
ened and luscious and mellow.
Keen is the chill of the morn when
you're reused from your slumber,
Reused by the faithful alarm of the
clock o. the table,
Reused wit feeling the darned thing
has stru.k the wrong number.
And that TO rise from your couch
you're surely not able.
Shivering into your clothes, you make
progress toward breakfast,
Thinking of coal in the bin. and the
need soon to burn it:
How that old furnaces tantrums will
then make a wreck fast
Of the sweet temper you've gained in
the summer. Oh, dUrn it.

Not TO sIame Himself.

According to all accounts the Cam
eron Highlanders' militia are a fine
body of men physically. Not long age
four of them occupied the last crowded
seat i'll full compartment on a Scot
land railway. Just as the train was
moving off a diminutive little clergy
man jumped into the compartment and
tried to edge himself in between two of
the Highlanders. Not finding it very
comfortable, he turned to the one on his
right and said:
"Sit up, please. You know that ac-
cording to act of parliament the seat
SOLIDS five"
The Highlander looked at him for a
moment and then replied:
THAT may be a RIGHT for your kind,
sir, but shairly we Gamma blame me for
no bein' constructed according to act
of acknowledging Evening Post.
