Alnjrnlar RITeot of the Noon on a
Wtul<y? Kyee-The Crew Usually
Humanity's Odds and
Stories of tho sea always lmvo a
fascination for the landsman,
and so it was that a group of
Arctic blubber hunters had n
lot of Interested auditors.
How would you liko to hare eight
or ten thousand dollars on a string?"
asked one of tbem, knocking his pipe on
the edge of tho stringer and addressing
the group of landsmon collectively.
Well, I've had that much many a
time," he went on without waiting for a
reply, 'and it makes a fellow rathor
nervous guessing whether he's going to
land his fish or whether he'll get Hipped
overboard, l'vo been to sea now thirty*
four years and I expect I've struck about
as many whales as the next ono, but it's
pretty exciting business yet. Why, last'
season one of our boats stnick a big s|>erm
whale and he started down. Our ship
had tire bouts sod each boat carries 287
fathoms of Hoc. That whalo took dowrv
tho. whole five of'oin?1400 fathoms iu
all. It begun to look as we had lost tho'
wholo thing, but he was too tired, and
when ho caoic up?we leathered into
him." \ ?,*
41 You wouldi^t^tfolfove that fish?at
least s|>outlngHfnT~are influenced by tho
moon?" said another ol the group.
"Woll, thoy arc. I'ro sooi\ it time and
again, and I've cs'/:d othor poople's attention
to it, too, -~>ot I never found any
I ono olso who had iiotir.-ad it. Sometime*
when you are at s v wk? whales aro to bo
seen frequently?it may bo at tho full
moon or at new inoon?-1*011, all nt unci*
they will disappear and you won't seo
one for two weeks. Then juntas suddenly
the wntor wilt bo full of them.
I've compared notes witli other vessel".
Maybe they wore sixty miles or more
away nt the time and thu whales then*
would be numerous just nt the soma timu
tliey appeared near our vesso". Oh, you
fellows noedu't laugh. There is something
in it.
'And then I've noticed nnothor thing
about this same class of fiali. Whoa you
catch them you wPI always Had that
they liavo thu pu of thu eye thu same
shape as thu moou at that timu. If the
moon is full thu pupil will bo round, nnd
i( it is a half or a quarter the sight will
bo liku a crescent."
Tlwj Captain ntop|>od to light a freih
pipe and another ono of the wlmlurs
spoke up.
'I've had some experience myself,"
snid ho, 'bat two yours ngo I came too
nearest taking after Jonah that a man
over did. Wo had made a strike all
right and tho wlmlo went down, not
very far, but when ho caino up lie liad
his mouth open, and some how or other
ito cainu up will) 0110 jaw on tho port and
the other ou tiio loa aide of our boat.
(Surprised! Well, that whale looked
very much as if ho was ready to rocoivo
company, hut I wasn't invited, so 1 made
A streak for auothor boat."
' You would l>o surprised," said tho
first speaker, changing tho direction of
tho talk, 4>what queer mixtures there
are in a whaler's crow .sometimes. Why
I've had lawyers and doctors and any
uuiber of young men with a degree of
some kind. And once I shipped a follow
that turned out to bo a preacher,
and I wish I could, get him ngain, for
we got eight whnlcs<that season. I !>oMcve
he was a inasost. One poor fellow
who went ovorboard,jn agate, had in his
trunk a physician's diploma, and any
number of letters with high recommendations,
hilt 1 guess he had goue wrong
s >ino how, aud wanted!to get out of the
way for a whilo. He. succeeded better
than ho intended. I guess they won't
think of '.coking for him at the bottom
of the Aictic.
>Yo gel lota .01 men lor a season s
cruise that way. If it follows wants to
hide himself for a while I don't know of
any place ho could do it better than on
board a whaler. Noltody would think
of looking for such a man in this business,
and then they couldn't look much
if they wuutcd to. That kind of a seaman
never makes you any trouble. It's
the shiftless follow you pick up here on
the whurf that you've got to handle
pretty roughly bctore no learns r.ow to
keep a decent tongue in his head."
4,On one of my cruises I had a big,
black West Iudiau in the crow,'' said tho
llrst speaker. "Ono day for some reason
he jumped overboard. The sea was a
little rough and it was quite a while before
we got tho boats lowered, and we
lost sight of him. Hut we pulled hack
a little way and I soon saw him, swimming
with all his might, hut in the opposite
direction from the boat. I yelled
to hiiu, and when ho saw he was discovered
ho made no further clTort to get
away. And where he was going i9 more
than I know, for it nil hnpponcd in mid
ocean. We hauled him into tho boat,
and made for the ship. It was four
months before we made port and yet in
all that time, Sandy, for that was his
name, never spoke a word. No one ou
hoard could get a sound from him. So ne
times ho would lio down on tho tlcck
and seem to he asleep and sonic of the
crew would slip up and stick him withn
pin. At first lie would twitc'i a little
aud then would not move at all. We
made a bed for him down below and
kept him away from a knife or other
weapon. You could tell him ti take the
wheel and he would steer right enough,
/nit iT you asked him what course the
'ship was making he was silent as too
gravo. Aud when we made tho first
port he went ashore and I never saw hiin
again. But some of the crew said ho
regained his tongue on land and thought
he had been 'playing' us all tho time.
Hut it was a strange case."?Sua Francisco
Examiner.
A Curious Irish Tradition.^
Ireland is a county rich ir\ traditions,
and in places every inch of tho ground
has its queer history and somo quaint
story attached to it. For instance, not
far from Belfast there is a romantic old
well in a curious hollow of tho hiils
called Hamas gap. The woll is known
as Hamas well and Is tilled at tho bottom
with white stones, the heather around
being covered witk pieces of r.ig.
Close, |
too, is a 'large mound, composed of
stones, which is sni(| to cover tho bones
of a holy friar long since dead. Every
visitor to the well appears to#^kc >t a
practice of adding a stone to s* h?n?>
already there, but for what rt* _ ;.

POTATO BUR AD.
There arc many person* who are very
fond of bread in ado with potatoes, but
very few people seeui to have the knack
of making it.
It is very simple, onco one gets the
hang of it, so to speak, and tho result ,
is a loaf which will keep fresh much
longer than any ordlnnry bread.
For four regular si led loaves of bread
take about eight or ten large potatoes,
poet thorn very carefully so n* to leave
spots or eyes, put thorn in water sufficient
to cover them, with a little salt and b ill
them until they bogln to hroik up. Then
with n potato-masher crush them, water
And all, nx linen* possible. Tlioy should
then bo passed thtnugh a sieve And
added to n sponge which has meanwhile
jbecn rising. Mix this potato pulp and
mho bread dough thoroughly, set aside
to riso for a short time, thou mold and
put in pans.
Tho flavor, flncnois of grain and
general quality of bread nro greatly improved
by this addition, nnd while it involves
quite a little additional work, it
is work that pays very well. Tho bread
will remain fresh much longer uud not a
crumb need bo wasted.
it must be borne i.i mind, however,
that it is much more likely to mold, if
exposed to dampness, after the addition
of potato, and mint bo carofully watched,
as even the slightest symptom of mold
in potato bread makes it unlit to oat.?

No accident occurs more frequently in
most families than tint of scaldiu * or |
burning. For an accident of this kind >
a good reliable domestic re nc ly is
needed, that may ba used imui'i tiatoly
before a physician arrives. This remedy
I have found iu so simple a preparation
as alum curd. To mako it, take a gill
or more of sweet milk, put it in a tiu
vessel and placo it on the stovo to warm.
Add to the milk a lump of alum about I
the si/.is of a thimble, or larger, according
to the quantity of milk. Stir tho |
alum about till the milk curdles. Skim j
out the curd anil apply It to the wound
on a soft cloth. The curd will stop the
pain utmost. insiuuuy. urcss uie wound
at least twice a day, wetting the cloths lit
the meantime with the wltoy its often us
they heeome dry. Make fresh alum
curd dully und continuu to dress the
wound till it is completely healed.
The remedy has been successfully used
in my own family and by my neighbors
for no Tern I years. It ha-* cured st.eral
eases of sovere scalds and burns, healing
the wounds without leaving a scar,
which is an important matter. For all
the numerous little burns frcipicnlly occuring
in a family of cldldreu, the alum
curd is a panacea, giving immediate
comfort. As compare)I with carron oil,
collodion, soda, starch-paste, llour-hatter
and many otiier salves, ointments and
liniments used as dressings for hnrns
throughout the country, the alum curd
Is by lar the best remedy. A lump of
a'um should he kept in every family
medicine closet ready for use whenevor
accidents occur by burning or scalding,
thus saving much paiu and many a deformed
hand or scared face so common
in country places.?American Agriculturist.
