If the “killer" whale is “the tiger of
the sea," us the writer of an interest
ing article in the September Windsor
bus It, the orcas surely are the vultures
of the ocean. In connection with whale
catching the author of this Interesting
natural history article tells of the fol
lowing Incident: Home years ago a
whaler In the northwest lmd killed n
large whale and hud the nnlinul along
side when It was attacked by a school
of orcas. They doubtless were half
starved and, erased by the scent of
blood that extended away a long dis
tance, probably followed It up like
hounds. Immediately attacking the
whale. 'Die men, with spades and
lances, cut and slashed at them, In
flicting terrible blows, yet despite this
the orcas literally tore the whale from
the ropes and carried It off. This cer
tainly shows that the orcas, together
with a very fair share of Intelligence,

courage.—Dundee Advertiser.

turbed. The clattering of a horse's
hoofs broke (he silence Into a thousand

rushed Into the still liomestead and
dragged forth Farmer Brown.
"Why, what he matter, Squire Tamp-
son?” queried the worthy farmer In
sleepy surprise.
"Matter’/" repeated the squire. "Why,
tnntter enough, to he sure! Your great
lubberly son Jack has run off with my
beautiful daughter Maud.”
"Has he. really?" cried the farmer,
now thoroughly awake. "Thee'rt right
