Whale Steak.

The sea contains not only an mex
haustible supply Of food in the form
Of fish and crustaceans but also vast
quantities Of an almost-neglected form
OF nutriment, the ocean mammals or
rm-blooded animals, such as whales,
porpoises and dolphins. The Bureau
OF Fisheries advocates the use OF the
meat OF these animals for human food.
Their flesh is real "meat" and not
"fsh"; il is very much like beef, al
though the color is darker red.
Through the efforts Of the Bureau OF
Fisheries it is probable that fresh,
corned and canned whale meat can
soon be obtained in the market. Whales
are taken at several shore stations on
the Pacific Coast, where the blubber
is rendered for oil and the bones and
flesh are used TO some extent for fer
tilizer; the skin seems to be adapted
for tanning into leather. The Pacific
Coast stations take considerable num-
Der of the animals, each Of which
furnishes about FIVE tons OF excellent
meat. Last May one whaling company
placed fresh whale meat on sale In
Seattle and Portland al ten cents a
pound, and many Of the hotels and res
taurants served it under its proper
name.

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test Of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, II Is the spring
time that brings III health. One OF the
chief reasons why the run down man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, Is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
FIVE months penned up within the walls
OF house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea.
son for our diminished resistance that
Is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the rclinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
hapS once a week such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, alOeS, (sugar- coated,
tiny, easily taken), which has stood the
test Of fifty years Of pproval-namely,
DR.. Pierce'S Pleasant Pellets. But for
the "Spring Fever" the general rundown
condition, the lack Of ambition, the
blues" one should take course of
treatment every spring such a standard
covery, now TO be had in tablet form in
sixty-cent vlalS. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
Spring, no vitality. A vtalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract OF DR.. Pierces
gives you the power to force yourself
into action. The brain responds to the
new blood in circulation, and thus you're
ready to make fight against Stagna-
tion which holds you in bondage. Try
it now Don't wait To-day is the
day to begin. Gain little "pep," and
laugh and live. Vim and vitality are the
natural out-pouring OF healthy body.
1t does not spring up in night. Try
this spring tonic, and you gain the cour-
age that comes with good health

A Good Name.
BY Lawrence Ambrose.


"A good name is better than great
riches"
When a man has good name, all
things are his. With it he can accom-
plish all things. 1t matters little where
he may go, he will be held in the
greatest regard and respect if he has
good name. 1t gives to a man pos
sessed of it courage, and if the testmo-
ny of all sacred writings be true, favor
with his God 1t gives to the man
possessed of it courage in time of dan
ger, self-respect in hours of adversely
and confidence when "the mortal hope
burns low on the hearth of life" 1t
is that which gives to society its
strength, business its ability and to
education its opportunity. That his
boy may be the inheritor of a good
name, many a man has seen the error
of his ways and entered the path of
sobriety and purposeful endeavor.
That her son may be possessed of a
good name, many a woman has re-
nounced many of the desires of her
heart, and, turning from her frivolity,
has so lived that her life, instead OF
being a reproach, has been a blessing
to the community.
That the youth of our land may have
a good name, we provide costly educa
tional institutions, provide teachers and
instructors of repute. The church pro-
vides religious instructors and insists
that those who seek to train up a child
in the way in which he should 90 must
be men and women of character. With
out a good name you are not wanted in
any State reformatory, penitentiary or
asylum. These institutions may be
compelled by the law to give you shell
ter, food and clothing, such as it is, but
you are not wanted there. You can not
find a place in all the realm Of social
life where a man without good name
is wanted at any price.
No business house will give employ
nent to youth or man, girl or woman,
who is known to be without character
Thinking these things over, consider
ing them honestly and well, We are
forced to the conclusion that the man
without a good name is not wanted
anywhere. A moments indiscretion,
the yielding to lfe's primal instincts,
the desire for gain, all of these and
thousand other things may in mo-
ment's time vitiate or destroy that
which it has taken years to establish.
Knowing these things, how safely
men should guard against the evil that
lurketh in the darkness and the error
that walketh in the noontide.

Letter From Lieutenant Fairall.

A KNITTING SONG.

Over and under, up and through,
Stitch upon stitch in the lengthening rows
Yarn OF khaki or yarn OF blue,
Day after day the knitting grows.
Who is the one shall wear my work.
Lad OF America, lad OF France'
Pray he be young with eyes OF blue
And the eagles look in his steady glance.
Into the stitches I will weave
Prayers OF womans tenderness,
Whispers Of hope and high desire,
Holy thoughts that shall guard and bless
Till they shall fold him and shield him from
harms
Like the loving clasp OF mothers arms
Over and under. hopes and fears,
We weave our hearts with the yarn OF gray
Love and sacrifice, triumph and tears,
Row upon row the livelong day.
Who is the one shall wear my work?
Soldier OF England or Italy's strand'
Pray he be steady and strong OF SOUL
Lost in the mists of no mans land.
Pray he be gentle with madens all
For the sake OF her who is knitting here.
Kill as he must, but not in hate,
Battling with wrong till the right appear
Stitches OF mine, weave holy charms
To guard him body and soul from harms!

How The Sense Of Smell Led To
Discovery.

discovery.
Have you an ambition TO found a new
science? Why not measure a SMELL
Can you tell whether one smell is just
twice as strong as another? Can you
measure the difference between one
kind of smell and another? II is OBJ
vious that We have very many different
kinds of smells, from the odor of violets
down TO aSafetida, but until you can
measure their likenesses and differ
ences you can have no science of odor.
In the first place We have TO define
an odor. Is il an emanation Of material
particles into the air or is it form Of
vibration, like sound? ? II you can de-
eide that question, you will have the
starting point of an entirely new inves-
tigation. If odor is an emanation, it
could be weighed; if il is a vibration, it
could be reflected from a mirror. Light
and sound and heat can be reflected.
| have even warmed my hands at the
reflection of a re in a mirror of pol
ished metal. III
That a cultivation Of the sense OF
smell may be very valuable was proved
in the discovery OF the substance
selenium. In experimenting with the
waste products obtained in manufac-
turing sulphuric acid, a distinguished
chemist noticed the Characteristic smell
of tellurium-an odor that has no
counterpart on earth CT in heaven. But
the smell was the only indication OF the
presence Of the substance; all the chem
ical reactions declared that there was
no tellurium present in the powder
The chemist therefore concluded that,
II no tellurium was present, there must
ne a new substance there, as yet un-
discovered, which resembled tellurium.
When he had extracted from the mass
all the materials that he knew were
present, he found residue, which
proved TO be, as he had suspected, a
new elementary substance.
This new substance, which was named
selenium, resembled black sealing wax
in appearance In its vitreous form it
was a nonconductor Of electricity, but
when heated almost TO the fusing point
and allowed to cool very slowly it COM
pletely changed its appearance. 1t
acquired a dull, metallic look, like lead /;
and in that, its crystalline condition, ii
was a conductor OF electricity, but OF
extremely high resistance. A little
pencil OF crystalline selen!um, not much
more than an inch long, offered as much
resistance to the passage Of an electrical
current as ninety-six million miles Of
wire, enough to reach from here to the
sun. Yet it was a conductor.-Alexan-
der Graham Bell in The Youths Com
panion.

SAFE" {"

When Herbert Cosden told his pa
rents that he was ordered 10 France, il
seemed to them as if their hearts would
break. Their boy, whom they had held
with sheltering arms; their boy, whom
they had guided in his play, whom they
had urged and praised in his work;
their boy. who had left the sheltering
home few short years before to COM
plete his education in the university,
and who, answering the first call for
volunteers, had received his commission
as lieutenant in the Officers Reserve
Corps, was now to face the perils of
the enemy-infested ocean and of the
firing line Somewhere in France"
But they withheld their tears during
the days he spent at home, and felt
thrill of pride as they saw his manly
bearing and virile courage.
Then had come the heart-rending
parting and the long days of intolerable
suspense-for he had been permitted
to tell neither the time of his sailing nor
his destination. From a letter that had
been returned, however, they knew that
he had sailed Anxious days were
followed by sleepless nights. Would
he cross in safety? Would the dreaded
U-boats intercept his vessel?
Then. one day. a messenger boy came
with a yellow envelope With tremb-
ling hands they opened it, and appre-
hension gave place to joy Only one
word, but how much it meant SAFE"
Their son had escaped the perils of the
deep! Other perils would follow, but
for the present he was safe.
Then the father took the mother in
his arms and said, "Let us thank God
that our boy has been spared thus far,
and remember that he has committed
himself to the keeping of One who said,
q know my sheep and give unto
them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither. shall any man pluck
them out of my hand We will keep
this message; and if the dread news
should come that he has fallen in battle,
we shall look at ii assured that if he
could, he would again send the message
from the other shore: SAFE The
Youths Companion.
