While the right whale is not so large nor so vicious as the sperm whale, the danger of hunting it is greater. In company with a fleet of ships, also bound for the arctic whaling grounds, says a writer in a contemporary, we sailed from San Francisco in February, and early in April we encountered the edge of the ice in Bering sea. The whales live far in the ice, and thither we went to find them. Occasionally a mother seal with one or two pups would dispute our way. She would not fly because of the little ones, holding her ground quietly, with fear in her eyes, while the pups barked vigorously at our presumption in disturbing them. We had been "icing" fcr mere than a week when wc reached Cape Navarin, on the Siberian coast, a bleak, mountainous, dreary place. The next morning we saw another ship coming toward us, the dense black smoke from her try works showing she had recently caught a whale. In the afternoon we pushed on beyond the cape, and the lookout was cautioned to be extra vigilant. From his place in the crow's nest he scoured the sea with a long glass, and presently there came the r?rv "Rlfi-O-fi-W off the lee j bow!" Every man strained his eyes. On the edge of. the ice some two miles away was the familiar spoilt. The wind had died away until there was not a ripple on the sea. Boats were lowered, sails set and everything made ready. We drifted about helplessly. Every man knew that to place an oar or paddle in the water would "gaily" the whale, for the big animals have a marvelously acute sense of hearing, and the minute there is an unusual sound they disappear. One boat drifted in the direction of the spouting, which continued with clocklike regularity. Presently the sail of that boat was dropped, and the men rowed back to the ship. We had been "chasing a ghost." The spouting was caused by water spurting through a hole in the ice with each heavy swell. COOKING HINTS. Don't salt cucumbers or eggplant before cooking. It makes them indigestible and unpalatable. AYOia peeing ruaoaro wncn it: is young and tender, for it only needs "wiping with a damp cloth before using. A piece of tough meat can be very nicely stewed in a double boiler. It will take twice as long, however, as if I cooked directly over the Sre. I Fish which contain few bones may * be converted into fillets by dividing the flesh from the backbone in long, wide strips and then removing any smaller bones. Soles supply the best fillets. Crust3 and crumbs of bread left over from the table should be dried, put aside for rolling and dipping or to be used in scalloped dishes or mixed with a few sliced apples and baked and served as a dinner dessert. To prevent sausages bursting when cooking put them into a saucepan, cov er them with com water ana urmg this to a boil, after which take them out and fry them in the usual way. This, it is said, will not only prevent the sausages from bursting, but will improve their flavor. An Atchison Lynching;. Ilere is a story of a lynching in the | early days of Atchison: A man named ! Sterling was hanged first, lie was a 1 vicious fellow and did not flinch. Indeed. while the rope was around his neck he announced that he was the best man in Kansas. Sandy Corbin, one of the lynching party, was somewhat of a fighter himself and did not like Sterling's talk. "Men," he said to the lynchers, "if you will postpone proceedings ten minutes I will take the ; conceit out of this scoundrel." . The J committee thought it would not be ! proper to let Sandy whip Sterling be, fore banging him, and the lynching i ?C-i ndv ni'llirililixl I WUlIt VII. aiuiv/u^u *.u*u\*y I v*4A?.^?x.v* I loud and long because Sterling's bluff I was not called.?Atchison Globe.

"Yes." said the riding master, "I have to be a horse trainer as veil as a riding master. In fact. I couldn't very well be the second without being the first. I always have horses in my school stables here that are sent to me to train for my pupils. One came this morning, and if you have the time to spare i win snow you now i give uw first lesson in obedience." The master then ordered one of his men to bring the horse out into the "school," a great oblong space, covered with sawdust and inclosed and roofed. The horse was a fine, spirited animal, with an intelligent and kindly eye. and the master said at once that he would be a tractable and teachable subject, explaining that lie had not yet had a chance to "make his acquaintance." "Now," said he, "you must remember that this horse has never seen me before and that I am, therefore, a perfect stranger to him, and yet I think I can establish between him and myself so good a feeling that in five minutes' time lie win ronow me an auout hj? school at a word of command?perhaps without a command. Let us see." He then approached the horse, and the man stepped away. Speaking a few words gently, he patted the animal's neck and rubbed his hand over his head. Telling the man to give him a small riding whip, long and straight, with a keen lash, he placed himself with his right shoulder close to the horse's head, holding the bridle rein near the bit with his right hand and in his left hand the whip extended back horizontally so that the lash was opposite to the horse's flank. "Now," said he. "for our lesson." And he began leading the horse around the school, keeping his shoulder close to the animal's head. Presently he took his hand off the bridle, and the horse at once began to move away from his shoulder, but a sharp turn of the master's wrist brought the lash of +1^ nirolnef hie flanl: Inst hnrrl L1IC ? 11 i ?7 u^aiiiob uio - enough to make a little sting, and at the same time the master caught hold of the bridle and gently pulled the refractory head close to his shoulder again. This was repeated half a dozen times, and then the horse evidently reasoned out the situation somewhat in this way: "As long as I keep my head close to this man's shoulder it's all right, but the minute I take it away something back there jumps up and sticks me. Therefore I'll not take it away any more." That must have been the way he reasoned, for within the five minutes' time allotted by the riding master the horse was following him all around the school like a big dcg, nor did the master have to touch the bridle once.? Atlanta Constitution. Vnt n Practical Philanthropist. One day last winter when it was very cold a richly dressed woman stopped and gazed sternly at an ice wagon that was drawn up beside the curb on Walnut street, near Fifteenth. She stood there for ten minutes. Then the iceman came out of a certain house, and she said to him. "Driver, why don't you blanket your horses?" "Because, lady, the kump'ny don't furnish me no blankets," said the man. "Then," exclaimed the woman, "you should cover them with your coat." "All right, ma'am," said the driver, smiling. "You gimme your coat for the near hoss, an I'll put mine on the off one." The woman, whose coat was of sealskin. could not think of a good retort to this, and she walked away in silence.? Philadeiphia liecord. Twain and the Printer. Mary Twain once had. a tryius experience with a compositor, one of those conscientious compositors who not only know, but know that they know. According to a writer in Harper's Weekly, Mr. Clemens had received from his publishers the proofs of a story which he considered as funny as anything he had ever written, but on reading the proofs he dismally discovered that the fun had been carefully eliminated. Mr. Clemens returned the proofs, congratulating the compositor upon having consumed "only one week in making sense of a story which ho himself required two weeks to make nonsense of!"

The risks that firemen in big cities j take are an everlasting wonder, and | the story of Bill Brown, as tokl by ' Cleveland Moffett in "Careers of Daring and Danger," shows that the enfinopv's hrnvorv is sometimes DUt to tests as severe as those which the I hose man or the ladder man even has to \ endure. What happened was this: Engine 29, pumping her prettiest, stood at the corner so near the drugliouse that the driver thought it wasn't safe for the horses and led them away. That left Brown alone, against the cheek of the fire, watching his boiler and keeping j his steam gauge at seventy-live. As the lire gained chunks of reelhot sandstone began to smash down on the engine. Brown ran ins pressure up 10 eighty and watched the door anxiously where the four firemen from his squad had gone into the furnace. Then an explosion of chemicals in the building sent a flame wide as a house curling across the street, enwrapping engine and man and setting fire to the elevated railway station overhead. Bill Brown stood by his engine with a sheet of fire above him. He heard footsteps on the pavement and voices that grew fainter crying, "Run for your lives!" He was alone, and the skin on his hands, face and neck was blistered. Brown knew why every one wgs running. There would be anotherXexplosion. It was tolerably certain that he must die if he stayed. But his four chums were in the fire and needed the water. If he quit his engine, the water would fail. He stoked in coal and ran the gauge up another notch, easing the running parts with the oiler. He was offering his life for his friends. In a few minutes the four firemen came out of the building. Then Bill Brown ran for his life with his comrades. A second or two later engine 29 was crushed by the falling walis. AN UNFAMILIAR TEXT. But It Was a Forcible Illustration of a Great Truth. Several years ago there labored in one of the western villages of Minnesota a preacher who was always in the habit of selecting his texts from the Old Testament and particularly some portion of the history of Noah. No matter what the occasion was, he would always find some parallel incirlor?f from tho hictow of th?? OTPtt | character that would readily serve as | a text or illustration. At one time he was called upon to unite the daughter of the village mayor and a prominent attorney in the holy bonds of matrimony. Two little boys, knowing his determination to give them a portion of the sacred history touching Noah's marriage, hit upon the novel idea of pasting together two leaves in the family Bible so as to connect, without any apparent break, the marriage of Noah and the description of the ark of the covenant. When the noted guests were all assembled and the contracting parties with attendants in their respective stations, the preacher began the ceremonies by reading the following text: "And when Noah was one hundred and forty years old he took unto himself a wife," then, turning the page, he continued. "300 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width and 30 cubits in depth and within and without besmeared with pitch." The story seemed a little strong, but he could not doubt the Bible, and, after reading it once more and reflecting a moment, he turned to the startled assemblage with these remarks, "My beloved brethren, this is the lirst time in the history of my life that my attention has been caJled to this important passage of the Scriptures, but it seems to me that it is one of the most forcible illustrations of that grand eternal truth that the nature of woman is exceedingly difficult to comprehend.?Starlight Messenger. Value of Time. The value of odd minutes is illus; trated by a story told in a curious lit! tie volume of advice printed in Eng land. A large firm required a manager for one of its departments and appointed 12 o'clock for arrangement cf terms with the selected applicant. lie arrived at five minutes past 12. to find a dozen directors waiting, the chairman watch in hand. The chairman announced that they could not engage a subordinate who had wasted an hour of his employers' time, and on the applicant deprecating such exaggeration the chairman explained that each director had wasted five minutes and that made an hour in all. Dickens Snld She "Was n Woman. It is said of George Eliot's literary style that its most marked characteristic is sympathy. And long before her identity had become known Charles Dickens, a singularly acute critic of his own art, detected her sex by this undercurrent of womanly sympathy, lie had been reading "Scenes of ClerI ical Life," which had been sent to him I v..* +1-,/% nnliHcliri!. nnrl nn nntt?Ti<? the irj lur j/uiMiouw, (uivi vi* j' v. book aside lie said, "Well, this writer possesses great ability, but I should say. despite the name, that George I Eliot is a woman."
