WHALE WORTH A FORTUNE it Carried a Chunk of Ambergris That Sold for About $100,000. Pacific Commercial Advertiser. More than 5100,000 is what Captain James Earle, a New Bedford whaler now x'lsltlng In Honolulu, realized in 1SS3 from one sperm whale. In fact, the whale was one of the most valuable ever caught In any ocean. It was not the 90 barrels of oil which gaV,e the leviathan Its ex traordinary value, for that was sold for something lie 54000. but within the whale's vast interior tnere was found a solid piece of ambergris weighing 780 pounds. This was the largest single piece of ambergris ever found according to tho records, and that It came from one lone whale made tho rich discovery the more Interesting to the scientific world. This 7S0-pound piece of ambergris was sold In chunks In all markets of the world for about 25.000 sterling, and It laid the foundation of wealth for almost every man Interested In the whaling expedi tion, which originated In New Zealand. Captain Earle came here In 1867 on tho whaling ship Europa as a 'cabin boy, his father then being the first mate. He later went to New Zealand to Join the whaler Splendid, which he fitted out. ob taining thereby a bounty of $10,000 offered by the New Zealand Government for the first whaler fitted out for service. Ho went as second mate and rose by promo tion until he, became master and part owner. It was In October, 1SS2, that the Splendid while cruising about the Chat ham Islands east of New Zealand came upon the sperm whalo which was the biggest bonanza of the sea on record. Ninety barrels of oil were taken from It and while delving Into the qarcass the huge piece of ambsrgVIs was. found. Ambergris is a concretion formed only In the intestines of the sperm whale and Is sometimes found floating on the sur face of the 6ea like pumlco stone, near where this animal cruises. In It are often found Imbedded the horny beaks of the squids upon which the whalo feeds. It was formerly used In medicine, but is now dissolved In -alcohol and used as a base in perfumes, rendering them more lasting. It affords about S3 per cent of a peculiar fatty and crystalline substance called, ambreln. Thcvoyage4Cthe Splendid In that season was a fortunate one In every respect, for she came Into Littleton port. New Zea land, with the big piece of ambergris worth Its weight In gold and H00 barrels of sperm oil. "When we arrived In port." said Cap tain Earle. "I telegraphed to the agent of the Otago Whaling Company to come l. up. xie came ana ine amDergrjs was iu.- en ashore. loaded into a car, which was locked and the key stowed away In the agent's pocket, and he stood- guard there, too. until the stuff was safely placed. The first year that I had brought any am bergris Into port we got 25 a pound for 21 pounds, but when this big piece came In the nows so astonished everybody that cablegrams were sent all over the world, and the result was that the price dropped. Some went to London, but as for my own share. I took It In bulk and carried It home with me. I wasn't in a hurry announcement of the for men as well as for boys to sell It, but thought by waiting the market for it would rise. I got $18 an ounce for the gray and $8 for the black, while In London It had only brought 312 and $4. The last of my share was sold In 1891. I remained with this company un til 18S6. when I went home. I have taken more than 1000 sperm whales since then and have never found In any of them a piece of ambergris." Salisbury's Illness Is Gout.

Few People Know How Useful it Is In Preserving- Health, and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier in nature, but few real ize Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It Is nqt a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and Im purities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels; It dis infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form ot large, pleasant tasting lozenges, tha charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweetjer breath and purer blood, and tha beauty of It is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in 3tomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."
