Tb Principal Henna of Support of. th PamuMuaquodtly Trlbo -Primitive Meth ods of landing the Ills; Fish and Trying Out the Illubber. Along the coast of Maine there are several places where porpoiso catching is carried on extensively and affords the principal means of support for many of the people living in thorn localities. The Bay of Fundy ia an esecially good fish ing ground, and Indian Beach, bordering on the waters of the bay is occupied the year round by whites and Indians who do little else. For years the Possuiuaquoddy Indiana have mode a practice of camp ing on the beach and applying them selves assiduously to porpoiso harpoon ing and shooting. The winter fish are the fattest and give the most oil; that is the valuuble part of the catch. FROM "HAND TO MOUTH." The largest porpoises are about seven feet long, will girth live feet, weigh 300 pounds and over, and yield from six to seven gallons of oil. The blubber is an inch or so thick in wurru weather, but in the winter double that. A fat fish's blub ber will weigh about one hundred pounds. The Indians do their work t- ?--' :' same way now iu ilu-y uiJ i.j .j years, the most primitive methods pre vailing. In trying out the blubber the appliances are of the rudest kind. The fires are built among piles of stone, over which iron pots are hung. The blubber is cut in small pieces and 6lowly melted. The oil is skimmed into jars and cans, and when pure is worth ninety cents a gallon. The best oil comes from the jaws of the porpoise. The jaws are hung up In the sun, and the oil drops down into a vessel, each pair producing ' about one-half pint. Watchmakers and others using a very fine oil take it in preference to all other, and it commands a big price. The blubber oil gives a good light, and for years was burned exclu sively in the light houses along the coast In a good season an Indian will catch nearly two hundred porpoises, each yielding about threo gallons of oil; but most of them fall a good deal below this, as they are not over partial to labor, and as long as the returns of one catch will lost, will loaf around the camp rather than go out again. The custom is to get a few gallons or oil, go to tne nearest market and sell it, then "rest" till forced by necessity to make further exertions. The porpoise's flesh is much like pork when cooked, and is a staple article of food. HOW THSy ARE CAPTURED. The bravery, skill and endurance de manded of the porpoise catchers in their work is almost unknown to the outside world. In the morning, when the men are going "porppuunV" tne women and children turn out to see the canoes off. Each boat has two men, and when a storm comes up while they are out, or they are unusually, late getting in, there is great anxiety among those on shore. It takes years of training to make a good porpoise hunter, and the big boys begin by going put with the experienced men. No matter what the water's condition, be it rough or smooth, if there is a trip contemplated the start is made. In calm weather the blowing of the por poise can be heard a long way, and guides the Indians in the right direction. Shoot ing is the most successful method of kill ing the fish. Long, smoothbore guns with big charges of hp powder and double B shot are, used. ' A9 the fish is floating, swimming and diving about the water, first on the surface and then below, the canoe is paddled as near as possible. Then, as the porpoise lifts himself to dive, the gun's charge Is let fly. There is seldom a failure to make a sura shot, but the fish is speared. k stop his floun dering about in the dying struggle. It is then landed in the canoe by grasping the pectoral fin with one hand, sticking a couple of fingers in the blow hole and dragging it over the side. In still water, this is easy, but when a high sea is run ning the undertaking is hard and dan gerous. Sharks are plenty, and their fins are almost always visible cutting the water as soon as a porpoise is wounded, the blood attracting them. No, end of sto ries are "told of men having had their arms bit off by the sharks while thev were reaching into the water to secure porpoise, but old fishermen scoff at such a thing, and pay no attention to the dread ocean monsters as they almost rub their noses against the sides of the ca noes. St. Louis Globe-Democrats Novel Advertising. Original and "taking" advertising dodges are cropping out every day. I witnessed the latest in the vicinity of the city hall yesterday. Two well formed young women, bearing between them a small banner which set forth in golden etters and catchy phrases the merits of a certain rat poison and ladies' face pow der, were the features of the new dodge. Each young woman, besides wearing be witching smiles and long, luxuriant gold en hair, was adorned in attractive cos tume. Over their shoulders and, press ing their bosoro diagonally were red, white, and blue ribbons. ' Rosettes, em blazoned with the national colors and the spread eagle were pinned each shoulder. A broad brimmed straw hat, fastened with lettered ribbon, sat jauntily on their heads. Each carried a small satchel, which contained alluring handbills and samples of the advertised wares. The advertising couple walked, slowly down Broadway, attracting universal atten tion,. They distributed their handbills right and left. Accompanying each hand bill was a "sample. Many gentlemen and ladies stopped and questioned the young women relative to the article ad vertised, and In each instance tne in quiring one was met with a smile, a ready, effective answer, and an extended hand, which held out a sample and the inevitable handbill. The scheme' '-caught on. New York Star. - A Surprised Clotuyman. The following incident is related on the authority of W. L, Ihight, L I: "Mr. Bright went into an agricultural district one day, and heliad to walk from tho sta tion a long way into the village. On tho way a clergyman who was driving in a dog cart camo up to him and tho two mm passed tho time of day. The cler gyman offered to drive Mr. Bright into the village, nnd Mr. Bright accepted the olTer. Tho clergyman was a Tory and he had been reading a speech Sir. Bright hud made the previous night, and turn ing to Mr. Bright he said: 'Havoyouscen the papers to-day, 6ir?" -Yen. said Mr. Bright 'What's In them?" " 'Why, that rascal John Bright has been making another sjech.' ' 'And what was it about? asked Mr. Bright. ' 'Why, so-and-so and so-and-so, and he went on to relato tho incidents of tho speeclu They discussed the topic and Sir. Bright said: "'Well, it is just possible that Mr. Bright may have been right and that he was only expressing his honest convic tions. There may bo something in it.' " 'Oh, no, there can't be, said the irate clergyman. 'If I had him hero I'd feel just like shooting him.' "Neither revealed his identity, but be fore they separated tho clergyman in vited Mr. Bright to go to his church next morning, nnd Mr. Bright promised fn .la. l.i.- ij.'i,,; u-i: i...... ui 1.. i.ioiiic- Mr. Bright's speech, and ut tho conclu sion Mr. Bright thanked him for his very able sermon. As he was going home to dinner a friend of tho clergyman met him and said: 'You have been preaching under distinguished patronage this morn ing then.' " 'No,' said the clergyman. " 'Oh, yes, you have, said tho friend 'You had John Bright among tho con gregation. You inust have noticed him in the front in tho middle pew. I know him perfectly well, and I assure you it was Mr. Bright.' " 'Why,' said the clergyman, 'I drove him to tho village yesterday in my dog cart and called him a rascal and exe crated him in all tho moods and tenses and he never said a word. He kept per fectly calm and cooL I have insulted him. I must go and apologize at once.' " St. James' Gazette. Not Real Live Fros, A good 6tory i3 told concerning the proprietor of the Hotel Bellevue and one of the well known wits of the Clover club. It appears that some time ago a private dinner was ordered in the hotel. at which frogs' Jegs a la poulet va3 to form an important course. On tho dav of the dinner, by somo piece of ill luck, it was found that tho supply of frogs had failed, and the question of where to ob tain any more became an imiiortant one, In this emergency, as the proprietor of the notel was bewailing his hard fate. our Clover club friend approached and asked what was the matter. He was told the sad state of affairs. "Ohl" said he, sweetly, "It you want frogs, that's all right. I have two dozen large ones in the fountain on my place in German town. You can have them if you like. Send your man out now and I'll give him a note to my gardener." The offer was accepted with effusive thanks. The man was duly called, given the note and dispatched for the frogs, and both proprietor and gueri Wished him god speed. In about tVQ ho;urs he returned, and his face wore a. sort of puzzled expres sion. "Have you got the frogs?" 6aid his master. "ig, eor," said tho faithful ser vant. "Weren't there any there?" inquired the Clover club man, meekly. "Shure there was, sor," said tho other, "but, sor, they were iron, frogs." "How very stupid of me not to have mentioned the fact be fore," remarked the wicked joker as be departed from the hoteL Philadelphia Times. The Work of Modern Chemistry. Some years ago, in the course of a con versation with an eminent mathemati cian, I asked in all seriousness whether he could "give me a definition of mathe matics that would convey to my mind even a faint idea of the object in view in mathematical investigation, ne replied : "It is impossible to give such a defini tion as impossible as it is in the case of hemistry." "But," said I, "I think I can give a definition of chemistry which would have some value;" and then, with a little time to think, I suggested a defi nition, which elicited this remark: "J could certainly give an, equally bald defi nition pi mathematics," I have fre quently thought of this subject since, and have wondered whether it is possible to convey .to the minds of those who are not chemists a clear idea in regard to the work chemists are doing. The difficulties, are great as great. I suppose, as in the case of mathematics, for chemists are no longer engaged in the study of famiHar phenomena, but are dealing with matters which lie far beyond the limits of ordi nary observation. The Popular Science monthly. .' j A New Alinient from Wheat, According to Lo Genie Civil, Dr. Du-jardiq-Bujnet3recently exhibited at the Jparis Academ-y of Medicine a new alimentary substance "fromentine" which is ohtained from wheat by the aid of special millstones. Fromentine is the j embryo of wheat reduced to flour and deprived of the oil which it contains. The substance contains three times more nitrogenous substance than meat, and a j strong proportion of sugar. Thus, tho amount of nitrogenous matter in it ia SI percent., while that of the richest meat, mutton, is but 21 per cent., and tho pro portion of digestible substance reaches 87 per cent, of the total weight. Hence it would appear that it might advan tageously replace powdered meat as a concentrated food, ft can be used for making soups, and even for making bis cuits, the taste of which would not bo disagreeable. Tho wheat germs employed are a by product in the Schwietzer process of manufacturing a flour which can be kept for a long time without deteriorathic. MIKE SCHNELLBACHER, Wagon and Blacksmith Shop.
