The‘ "U.:( :11 :" A sight of these huge, lncll‘snslve animals is often to be had dur- ing an Atlantic voyage. They are too timid to approach near the steamer. A peculiarity about these wonderful creatures in the tail, which in 2v“: vertical. as in meat fishes, but level, is, which they are able to reach the surface or one water with grealer facility for the purpose of respiration ; and such is the strength that even the largest whales are able with its assistance to force themselves entirely out of the water. The tail is their only instrument of protection. With one stroke of it they will send a large heal: with its crew in air and shatter the wood into a thousand pieces. Sometimes the animal will take a perpendicular posi- tion in the water, with the head downward and rearing the tail on high, heat the waves with fearful violence. On these occasions the sea foams for a wide space around. The performance is called by the sailors “lob tailing.” A whale’s head is about one~third of its body, and its tongue is a soft, thick mass. which was formerly eonsldered a great delicacy of the table and a right of royalty. Their blood is red and warm like a men’s, and the females sockle their young. A whale has no external ear. Their sense of bearing is impslfect. When the skin is removed a small opening is per- ceived for the admission of sound. By a .guick perception of all movements made on “£38 water it discovers danger at a great distance. The eyes are small, but the sense of arcing is acute. A whole does not attain full growth under twenty live years. and is said to reach a very great age. They live in families rather than herds, and are of a kindly nature, with the instinct of family affection very strongly developed. Whales have no teeth, instead of which whalebenes grow down out of their ugpcrjsw. Rey 31 Signatures. The Queen's signature to State documents is still a model of firmness and legibility, no sign of her Majesty’s advanced age being discernible in the boldly written “Victoria R," which she attaches to such papers as have to bear the royal autograph. There are veteran statesmen living who will rem- ember that the question of the signing of state documents by the sovereign became one of considerable importance in the last months oftleorge 1\'.'e reign. During this period his Majesty was in such a debilitated state 211.“: the writing of numerous autographs was practically impossible for him, and under scese circumstances a short bill was hurried- Zy passed through Parliament authorizing The King to sliix a fao simile of his auto- .graph by means of an inked stamp. It was also provided, however, in the bill that leeor‘ze should before stamping each docu- ment give his verbal assent to it in a specifi- ei form. The Duke of Wellington was in adios at the lime. and it was often his duty to lay certain documents before the liicp for his approval. 2:: day the "Iron Duke," noticing that his Mrjesty was stamping the papers before him without repeating the perscribed verbal formulary, ventured to enter a respectful but firm protest. The King, much irritated. (xslaimsd : "Uâ€"-â€"it, wear can is signify 3' ‘ Only this. Sir," rt plied the Duke. “that the law requires it.’ tleorge lV. said no more. but at once began to repeat the rtqulsire formulary as be stamped each of the remaining documents. y I‘euder Corns Soft cores, come of all kinds retrieved with- on! pain or sore spots by Putnam s Painless Corn Extractor.

An Incident of Railroad havel of Which the British Public Never Heard. An interesting incident is related in connection with the career of the late Mr. Vernon Smith, C. E. who died recently at Ottawa. Early in the fifties. previous to coming to Canada, Mr. Smith was divisional superintendent on one of the great English railways. Her Majesty the Queen, on her visits to and from Scotland for many years has almost invarably travelled by this railway. and extraordinary precautions were taken by cfliolals to in- sure tho safety of the sovereign. 1: was the custom on the road with which Mr. Smith was connected for each divisional superintendent to take an engine and run over his own divismn ahead of the royal train to see that no obstructions were on the track. Mr. Smith’s division~ had been reached, and in due course he proceeded ahead of her Majesty’s.train to see that all was safe. Arrived a“: the end o.| his run, he Waitrd a little while for the royal train to appear, and as the minutes slipped by and the train was overdue Mr. Smith became anxious and decided to run back. Entering one of the many long tunnels in the Dzrbyahire district, Mr. Smith dis- covered the Queen’s train at a otsniztill about the center of the tunnel, the locomotive having broken down. Her Majesty’s party were paralyzed with fear. Ahead everything was all right,but at any momenta train might dash up from the rear. Mr. Smith’s arrival gave hope to the party, and be promptly suggested to the Prince Consort that her Majesty should mount into the cab of the pilot and be quickly placed out of denger.‘ \Vhen the Queen heard the proposal she declined to desert her maids and party. Prince Albert’s entreatien were unavailing. Her Majesty could not be induced to leave the train. 3':. Smith had meanwhile rent men back toward the entrance of the tunnel. and instructed them to place three fog signals at intervals on the rails to warn any in- coming train, signalling by lamp being out of the question owing to the dense smoke. The pilot was connected with the broken . down locomotive, and an tifort was made to draw the royal train out, but the little engine could not stir a wheel ; there was nothing for it but to Wait. Presently “crack” want the first signal and the rumv bling ointrain entering the tunnel was heard. A minute or two later a second report ftllcwed, and the rumbling, noise in- creasing. If the third torpedo did not explode, nothing could save the royal train. The third fog signal was heard, and the party were safe. The big freight ran back to the next station, and aid was quickly obtainedaud the royal train soon emerged from the tunnel. Particulars of the incident were suppressed, and the English public never knew of the narrow escape of their Queen. _____â€"-0â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" A CLOUDBURST IN CHINA. One Hundred People Drowned by a Sudden Deluge from the Sky. Advices received in San Francisco by the steamer Rio de Juneiro say that the town of Tsin Li uhow, not far from Nanking, on the Yangtze-King, China, was, during the first week of last month. visited by a cleudburst which resulted in drowning 100 people and in the destruction of much. shipping. The morning broke bright and clear on the day of the disaster, but about 10 o’clock there were suddenly heard noises like the rushing of waters, and two large black clouds use rapidly from the horizon, spreading as they progressed. and finally enveloping everything in a dense fog and shutting out the sunlight. The water in the river became lack and turbulent. Presently the clouds burst asunder with a tremendous report, and the town was deluged with water. In addi tion to the 100 people drowned fifty more were rescued by a Chinese life-saving corps in an (xnausted condition. The greatest losses were on the river, where hundreds of boats were either totally wrecked or badly damao‘ed. The heavy fall of water also occasioned the caving in of a long stretch of the river bank. A Horse That Estes Pigs. James Robinson, a farmer living near Jelfersenville, O , is the owner of a carnivor- ous horse, which wants nothing better for a good, square meal than a fat pig. Whenever the horse sees a pig that it can get as it grabs it by the back of the neck and shake: it to death, much as a dog would shake a rat. The horse then devours the pig with great relish. Mr. Robinson is very careful to keep its)?! pigs away from the honeys far as, possi. e.
