Did you come after cabbages, too?"

At that question Old Mr.. Toad for

he chuckled he let out the air with
which he had puffed himself up, so
that he was no longer swelled. but
was back to his proper shape. THAT
question sounds just like you, Peter
Rabbit. What under the sun would
want with cabbages? Did you think
that could swallow one?"
Don't be silly" replied Peter. "Of
course didn't think you could swal-
low one. I can't swallow one myself,
but I can, and do, eat the leaves, and
I didn't know but that you might

gang" to do likewise. Then they
race together, and in short time you
may observe them going into q
"huddle."
Cape Hatteras is the only place in
North America where there Is q por-
poise fishery. Here these animals are
taken close to shore and brought In
with drag seines.
For about 200 years this fishery
has been conducted. There Is little
capital invested. The greatest num-
Der of porpoises taken in any given
year is about 1900.
The porpoise Is rich in blubber and
jaw oil and the hides are also valuable.
However, the jaw oil is the most
valuable part of the porpoise and Is
worth about $40 gallon when refined.
This oil is needed to lubricate the
machinery Of delicate mechanisms.
For all you know, your fine clock or
valuable watch is running today for
the reason that it was given few
drops of porpoise oil.
Along about 1887 a catch Of over
5000 porpoises was made off the coast
of North Carolina. The hides of the
animals were tanned and about 10, AGO
gallons Of body oil were secured.
Fewer porpoises were taken as the
years passed by.
The oil is pale yellow, sometimes
shading to brown, and it has a fishy
odor which soon disappears.
The Passamaquoddy Indians on the
Maine coast at one time made their
living catching porpoises. Some of
the porpoises were Z feet long and
very fat. The blubber was stripped
and cut into short pieces and then
placed in a pot over fire. The hot
oil was skinned as it rose to the
surface. 1t makes clear light when
used for that purpose. The making
of this oil was known as "porpusia"
and, as there are so few of these In
dians now, the making of this oil, that
once was sold for high prices to the
watchmakers, has been abandoned.

Porpoises are so blubber- coated that
they give off lots of heat. That Is
why they must have cold water in
which to swim. 1t is also why it is
so difficult to keep them in tanks, un-
less cold water can be pumped in.
They are such restless, nervous crea-
lures that you can never drain their
tanks to clean them, for in their ex-
citement of having the water lowered
they would beat themselves against
the sides of their tank homes.
In the ocean they love to speed the
high waves. AS they rush through
the water they often kill many fish,
and they have been seen playing some

to 13 tricks. 1t was obvious to me
that my partner held six-card suit
headed by the ace-king and the king
Of spades. However. the four queens
were all unaccounted for. I realized
my partner would need either the
queen of my suit or the queen Of his
suit and one other queen for 13 tricks.
and my final decision to bid seven

Is one place where Peter cannot keep
away from. Temptation is too great
to be resisted. With the best inten-
tions in the world Peter will start out
from the dear Old Briar-patch, re-
solved not to go near Farmer Browns
garden, and the first thing he knows
there he is, right in the middle of it..
Sometimes he actually is surprised to
and himself there. You see, there are
many delicious things growing in
Farmer Browns garden, things he
cannot get anywhere else. Sometimes
In the Spring Peter does lot of harm
there. He doesn't mean to. but he
does do lot of mischief. In the Fall
he doesn't do rluch harm because,
you know, the crops are grown then
and such leaves as Peter eats are not
wanted, anyway.
Peter was over among the cabbages.
He wasn't, am sorry to say, looking
where he was stepping or, should I
say, hopping? His eyes were all for
the cabbages. He was feeling cab
bage hungry, and he was looking for
rabbages whose outer leaves were not
TOO coarse and tough. So it was that,
to his startled surprise, he felt some
thing squirm at his feet He made
hasty little hop forward and then
turned to see what he had stepped
on. There, just beginning to puff
himself up, was an old friend of
Peters. It was Old Mr.. Toad. Yes,
sir, it was Old Mr.. Toad. He puffed
himself up and kept right on putting
himself up, way he has of doing
when he Is angry. He was angry now.
He had lost his dignity. OF course.
No one can be stepped on and retain
his dignity.
