A WHALE’S REVENGE FOR THE HAR POONING OF HER CALF. ... la Her Mad Fary She Saeceeded la Killing Six Men and Injuring Fifty Mere aad Splinterinc Fifty Flahina , Boats. A widely known and feared devilfish has its headquarters in the northern Pacific, mostly along the American coast, especially affecting the gulf of California. This huge creature is a mammal, one of the great whale fam ily, really a rorqual of medium size and moderate yield of oil. Only the elite of the Yankee whalemen, dexterous and daring as are all the tribe, can hope to get “to windward” of the diabolically cunning giants whom they abuse with such fluent and frequent flow of pictur esque profanity. It is a peculiar characteristic of this animal that it seems ever on the alert, scarcely exposing for one moment its broad back above the sea surface when rising to spout and generally traveling, unlike all its congeners, not upon, bnt a few feet below, the water. For this reason, and in thia fishery alone, the whalers arm themselves with iron shafted harpoons, inorder to strike with greater force and certainty of direction a whale some distance beneath the sur faej. A standing order, too, among them is never by any chance to injure a calf while the mother lives, since such an act exposes all and sundry near the spot to imminent and violent death. Neglect of this most necessary precau tion, ,or more probably accident, once brought about a calamity that befell a fleet of 13 American whaleahips which had been engaged in the “bowhead” fishery among the ice floes of the Arctio Pacific. In order to waste no time they came south when winter set in, and by common consent rendezvoused in Mar garita bay, Lower California, for a month or two’s “devil fishing. ” The whales were exceedingly abun dant that season, and all the ships were soon busy with ns much blubber as they could manage. The ease with which the whales were being obtained, however, led to considerable carelessness and for getfulness of the fact that the whale never changes its habits. One bright morning, about three weeks after the opening of the season, the whole flotilla of 52 boats, four from each ship, had been lowered and were making their way as rapidly as possible to the outly ing parts of the great bay, keeping a bright lookout for “fish. ” Spreading out fanwise, they were get ting more and more scattered, when about near the center of the fleet some one suddenly “struck” and got fast to a fish, bnt hardly had the intimation been given when something very like panic seized upon the crowd. In a moment or two the reason was apparent. From some cause, never definitely known, a harpooner had in striking a large cow whale transfixed her calf at her side with his harpoon, killing it immediate ly- The mother, having quietly satisfied herself that her offspring was really dead, turned upon her aggressors like a veritable demon of destruction, and while carefully avoiding exposure of her body to attack simply spread devasta tion among the'flotilla. Whenever she rose to the surface, it was but for a sec ond, to emit an expiration like the hiss of a lifting safety and almost al ways to destroy a boat or complete the destruction of one already hopelessly damaged. Every blow was dealt with an ac curacy and appearance of premeditation that filled the superstitions Portuguese, who formed a good half of the crews, with dismay—the more so that many of them could only guess at the original cause of what was really going on. The speed of the monstei was so great that her almost simultaneous appearances at points widely separated made her seem übiquitous, and as she gave no chance whatever for a blow it certainly looked as if all the boats would be destroyed seriatam. Not content with dealing one tremendous blow at a boat and reducing it at once to a bundle of loose boards, she renewed her attentions again and again to the wreckage, as if determined that the destruction should be complete. Utter demoralization had seized even the veterans, and escape was the only thought governing all action. But the distance to shore was great, and the persistence and Vigor of the furious le viathan, so far from diminishing, seem ed to increase as the terrible work went on. At last two boats did succeed in reaching the beach at a point where it sloped very gradually. The crews had hardly leaped overboard to run their craft np high and dry when close behind them in the shallows foamed and rolled their relentless enemy, just too late to reach them. Ont of the large number of well equipped boats that left the ships that morning only these two escaped undam aged, and the loss of the season’s work Was irremediable. Over 50 men were badly injured, and six, one of whom was the unhappy origin of the whole trouble, were killed outright. The tri umphant avenger of her slain offspring disappeared as silently as she had car ried on her deadly warfare, as far as could be known unhurt, and with an accumulated hoard of experience that would if possible render her more of a “devil” to any unsuspecting whalemen , who should hereafter have the misfor ftine to meet with and attack her than she had proved herself to be already. Dejected and crippled, the fleet lost no time in getting away from the spot and fleeing north to San Francisco, there to refit for other and more profitable fish ing grounds.—Cornhill Magazine.

THE CHANCES FOR SUCH A FATE ARE EXTREMELY REMOTE. In Times of Plague and Pertiianoe the Greatest Danger of Premature Burla! Exists—The Death Test That la Applied In Vienna. Most of us have a lingering love of life, and the thought that there is just the barest possibility of being buried alive sends a shudder through us. Medical men know that the human body in time of illness and at other times, too, is liable to assume all the outward appearances of death without the final separation having actually taken place. There are the coma, cata leptic and other forms of the uncon scious state, each one bringing in its trend the very simulation of death itself. ‘‘Happily, a medical man nowadays, ” said a physician to a reporter, “expe rienoes no difficulty in declaring his pa tient to be dead, as a general rule, but it may perhaps happen onoe in his life time that he may have a doubt, in which case conviction either way fol lows upon his findings, -which are sim ple and conclusive, and in which he cannot be mistaken. “It is unfortunately true that there are thousands of nervous people now walking about in fear of being buried alive, this morbid conviction coming about through reading of an isolated case happening here and there, where perhaps some one has had a narrow es cape of being subjected to a living burial “These ‘escapes’ greatly outnumber those of the actual occurrence itself. The cataleptic usually show signs of life just in the nick of time to disap point the undertakers and to relieve sor rowing friends. “Os course, much of the evidence on which the allegation of premature burial is based depends on the fact that bodies on exhumation have been occa sionally found distorted, thereby foster ing the notion that this or that occu pant of the coffin has died from suffo cation, a theory which is supported by the favorable condition of other ex humed bodies. “But the idea is altogether wrong, in fact and in principle. It is well known among those who have made it a study that the apparent distortions, instead of demonstrating a living burial, pure ly depend upon natural causes brought about by decomposition, the influence of which is sufficiently strong enough to bulge out, and even burst, leaden coffins. This phenomenon does not hap pen in every case, but it does in a great many. "No, no! I shall not go so far as to say that a premature burial has never taken place, but it has not occurred so often as is thought. I dare say it may occur in times of plagues and pesti lences, where the presumed dead are buried within a few hours of death. That is where much mischief lies. But when panic prevails where does thought come in? “In plagues, such as cholera, the state of collapse is so profound that it may perfectly simulate death Itself, but the custom of burying the dead on the day of death is fortunately on the wane, even during advanced epidemics. It is probable that in the absence of medical aid in panic times in country places abroad it has led to living burial—in deed it must have done. But the last end of all under such conditions is mer ciful, for it must not be forgotten that if you are ‘unconscious’ only while be ing hermetically sealed in your coffin you will never again experience volun tary motion or sensation. “However, where the doctor can be consulted, living burial is impassible even in . cholera panic, for there are certain bodily movements which gener ally occur after death from cholera, in the absence of which a medical man ■would hesitate to certify for burial. “In ages gone by and in uncivilized countries still it is possible that uncon scious cataleptics, or persons drugged to appa at death, may have been and perha s still are occasionally buried alive, but I do not believe that in our own country or in any civilized land such events are possible. “In Vienna the custom prevails of taking a body to the mortuary on the eve of burial, where it is ‘tested.’ Thimbles are placed on the fingers of the dead, to which are attached wires connected with the mortuary bills. “Have the bells ever rung? YtJ, once, “It is impossible for a doctor to mis take unconsciousness in its varied forms for death. “Some time ago it was suggested that a law should be passed making it com pulsory for a medical man to test bodies before giving a certificate of death. Testing by electricity was thought of, bnt it is an open question yet whether electricity kills or only stuns. At all events, we in this oountiy are not con vinced that such a test would be satis factory or afford sufficient evidence of death, although it has its value. On the other hand, I don’t think legislation of this kind is necessary. It would cer tainly reflect upon the medical profes sion. “The Viennese custom is a wise one, and I should like to see it more gener ally adopted.”—Pearson’s Weekly. The Foor Editor.

In 1712LouisXIV favored the Opera, then established in the first salle of the Palais Royal (there have been two) with a special mansion for the better accommodation of its administration, archives and rehearsals. This hotel it situated in the Rue Nicaise. The build ing was generally designated under the name of “Magaaia, ” whence the term “Fillea du Magasin” (not “de maga sin”) subsequently not only to the fe male choristers and supers, but the fe male dancers themselves. It so happen ed that the king forgot to pay his archi tects and workmen. In order to satisfy them the Chevalier de Bouillon conceiv ed the idea of giving balls in the opera house, for which idea he received an annual pension of 6,000 franca. Hewai paid, but the king’s debtors were not, for, although the letters patent were granted somewhere about the beginning of 1718, not a single ball had been given when the most magnificent of the Bour bon sovereigns descended to his grave. One day, shortly after his death, d’Argenson, the then lieutenant of po lice, was talking to Louis* nephew, Philippe d’Orleans, the regent. “Mon seigneur,” he said, “there are people who go about yelling that his majesty of blessed memory was a bankrupt and a thief. I’ll have them arrested and have them flung into some deep under ground dungeon.” “You don’t know what you are talking about,” waa the answer. “Those people must be paid, and then they’ll cease to bellow. " “But how, monseigneur?” “Let’s give the balls that were projected by Bouillon. *' So said, so done, and the people danced to pay Louis XTV’s debts, as, according to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charles Il’s coffers: The king’s most faithful subjects we In ’s service are not dull. We drink to show our loyalty And make his eoffers full. —London Saturday Review. Chesterfield Superficiality. Chesterfield’s idea of excellence was essentially superficial, for his praise of solid acquirement and genuine princi ple is always coupled with the assertion of their entire inutility if unaccompa nied by grace, external polish and an agreeable manifestation. He omits all consideration of their intrinsic worth and absolute dignity; their value to the individual, according to him, is wholly proportioned to his skill in using them in a social form. In one of his earlier letters to Philip Stanhope he writes: “What an advan tage has a graceful speaker with gen teel motions, a handsome figure, over one who shall speak full as mnch good sense, but who is destitute of these or naments. In business how prevalent are the graces, how detrimental is the want of them! If you should not acquire manners, all the rest will be of little use to you. By manners I mean engag ing, insinuating, shining manners, a distinguished politeness, an almost ir resistible address, a superior graceful ness in all you say and do. ” He would have manners overlay individuality and goes so far as to declare that a soldier is a brute, a scholar, a pedant and a philosopher, a cynic without good breed ing.—Gentleman’s Magazine. A Former Chinese Fleet. It consisted chiefly of old junks which had not been in the water for more than 30 years. During this lengthened period the sea had receded, and the land had formed to the extent of more than a mile, the consequence being that these ancient vessels were high and dry, their masts, sails and gear had rotted away tram the long exposure to the sun and tain, the paint had peeled from their sides, and, in some cases, the very planking had been stolen for firewood. —“Pioneering In Formosa, ” by W.
