taking something for the blood.
A Spring medicine as we speak of
it. And it's a good thing to do, but you
want to get the proper medicine. If you
consult your physician he will tell you to
. GOOD LIVER
and that, btcause the liver has every
thing to do with the blood. If the liver
'. sluggish the system is clogged, the
lood becomes impure, and the whole

mended for the blood is supposed to
work on the liver. Then get at once the

Whales" Attack
and Her Calf.
An attack made by three killer
whales upon a cow whale and her calf,
in a lagoon along the coast just south
of here, recently, says a San Diego
(Cal.) dispatch, was one of the
most exciting fish fights ever ob
served here. The cow whale was
of the California gray species, the calf
being three times the bulk of the
largest of the killer whales. The latter
made alternate assaults upon the old
wliale ana ner offspring, nually killing
the calf, which sank in five fathoms of
water. During the terrific struggle the
mother was nearly exhausted, receiv
ing several deep cuts about the throat
and lips. When the carcass of the calf
settled to the bottom the three killers
descended, bringing up large pieces of
flesh, which they devoured at the sur
face. While thus gorging themselves
the wounded mother whale escaped,
leaving a bloody trail.
These killer whales fight almost
everything they see, and they fight to
win. As pugilists of the sea they are
incomparable. Strongly built bodies,
an arrow-like swiftness in swimming
and a bulldog disposition strike terror
to all their opponents. Even the terri
ble man-eater and tiger sharks will run
from a killer whale.- The heavily
armed swordfish is an easy victim to
this savage foe. Seals, whales and big
fish generally have a mortal fear of
him, and invariably run away from
him it thev can. The spectacle of a
fight between these wolves of the
ocean and the large whales they at
tack is something long to be remem
bered. When several killers attack
their gigantic prey they might be
likened in some respects to a pack of
hounds holding the stricken deer at
bay. They cluster about the levia
than's head, some of their number
breaching over it, while others seize it
by the lips and haul the bleeding mon
ster under water. When captured,
should the mouth of the victim be open,
the killers eat out its tongue.
Killer whales interfere with the af
fairs of men at times. Instances are
reported where bands of killers have
attacked the carcass of a whale as the
whalers were towing it to the ship,
and forcibly carried away the dead fish.
They destroy many young fur seal, and
often remain a long time in the vicinity
of the seal islands. In the stomach of
killer sixteen feet long were found
thirteen porpoises and fourteen seals.
Sometimes the killer attacks a full
grown walrus, robbing it of its young.
These whales are frequently found
twenty to thirty feet long. The high
finned killer has an enormous dagger-
shaped fin upon its back six feet long.
When the fish swims high this tin tow
ers above the surface, and observers
unacquainted with it have been posi
tive that it was a sea-serpent. This
ferocious whale is related to the por
poise and dolphin.

LONDON'S BURGLARS.
What They Did Last Year and the renal
tie They raid.
According to the annual report of the
commissioner of police the statistics
for the past year record Mill cases of
burirlarv in the metropolis, as com
pared with 037 in 185)2. Notwithstiind-1
ing this marked decrease in the number
of these offenses, the convictions ob
tained were 147, as against 14ft in the
previous year. In three cases, says the
Westminster ltudget, the crime was ac
companied by acts of violence against
the person. In eight cases only ilid the
value of the projM-rty stolen exceed
100. The net total loss of property by
burglaries, estimated by the owners,
was 3,310, as compared with i,VK in
lH'.l'i.
The cases of housebreaking num
bered l,a4:i. being 2:1 more than In lvj.
In none of these was any net if violence
against the person rersirteil. The net
total loss was l;i:i,:'.'.)H, ascompareil with
10,071) In the preceding year. In 7U of
these cases the criminals fouml no
property which they thought worth
carrying away. In 115 eases tho prop
erty stolen was valued by tho owners
at less than il, am! iu 4 cases only did
the loss exeeetl .V).
The vast majority of these crimes nro
Cfiminlttetl to the prejudice of the iionr-
er classes of the tnetropollH, at whose
expense gangs of profcsnioiiul thieves
Imliituully maintain tht'iiiM-lvea in idle
ness by a life of crime. Conviction
were obtained in loo caws, but In 'il
only were sentcner of jicniil
servitude awanlt'il, ami these, with
four exceptions, were for terms of from
three to live years; the exceptions were
one sentence of tell years, one of eight
years and two of six years.
The H7 conviction fur burglary wern
followed by M flteliet' of n-ittl Servi

there were but six Insliiiiefa In which

The United States government, as a
rule, pays higher salaries to its em
ployes than private firms pay for the
same class of work. Despite this fact
there is probably no class of clerks so
continually "hard up" as these same
ffovernmcnt employes, says the Phila
delphia Tress. This is true at least in
Washington, where the majority of the
employes are protected in their posi
tions by the civil service laws, and
where it would be supposed there would
be more opportunity for saving than in
positions less sure of tenure.
The average department clerk re
ceives what would bo considered a very
snug salary in most any other city, es
pecially in cities where metropolitan
prices for living do not prevail. It would
be safe to place the average salary re
ceived at one thousand dollars per an
num. It can be stated as a rule almost
that these clerks are iu debt from one
year's end to the other. They are in
debt to the butcher, the baker and the
grocery man, and their frequent
changes of residence are due to a habit
they have of neglecting to pay rent for
their houses. This sort of thing is kept
up until their debts are brought to the
attention of their superiors in office,
when the alternative is given of paying
off their indebtedness in monthly in
stallments to be kept, out of their
salaries or of leaving the government
service.
The faculty of the government clerk
to get in debt has created n class of Shy
locks in the various departments in
Washington the like of which would be
hard to find in any other city. They are
appropriately called "ten per centers."
They feed upon the unfortunate eterk
who is living beyond his or her salary
like vultures upon the stricken deer.
They have their spies out in every
direction, and learn of the financial con
dition of their intended victims in ways
no honorable person would adopt. To
a clerk in distress for ready money they
appear and olTer the cash to meet press
ing wants. The bait is too tempting,
and the victim borrows under the
agreement that it shall be paid back at
the end of the month at the exorbitant
rate of ten per cent, interest for the
thirty days. If not met at the end of
the time stipulated the loan, or part of
it, is continued at the same rate for
another month, and oi'ten times within
a twelvemonth the poor clerk has paid
more than the original sum in interest
alone.
Enticing circulars are sent to the
clerks by these "ten per centers." Sums
ranging from ten dollars to five hun
dred dollars are offered as loans under
the "strictest secrecy." The security
asked is merely nominal. Furniture is
usually the security suggested in the
circulars. These sharks well know
that the clerk's nominal note is sufficient
to guarantee a payment of the loan, as
the presentation of it to the chief of
ofiiee usually results in arrangements
being made for the return of the money
out of the monthly salary of the victim.
The local newspapers are full of the
advertisements of these "ten percent
ers." Their alluring offers ure ese
cially intended fur that class of em
ployes who desire to cut a figure in
Washington society, but who need ready
cash at times to indulge their ambition.
For instance, a lady in one of the de
PMrtmeiils fecis that it will add very
materially to her standing lu society if
she were to give a "pink tea" or some
function of that sort. She must tlo so
at a certain period of the year during
the social ru'iisoii. She has exhausted
her eretlit ut the grot-cry and the con
fectionery, so a little ready money in
hand is an absolute necessity fur the
accomplishment of her plans. The en
ticing circular of the "ten mt cenlcr"
is brought to her not ice, and she can
not resist the tt uiptntioii. The money
is Isirrowed, the sia inl fillU'tioli passe
off, and the iMxir victim finds herself in
the elutihes of a money shark, who
will keep her stinted fur the necessities
of life until liisteii r t i nt. a month
interest liti'l principal Is paid. 1

Shortly after sundown the fete of San
Lorenzo was inaugurated. It was an
opening performance, as weird as a
witches' dance, with a fiend from the
Inferno fiddling out the accompani
ment, says a Bernalillo dispatch to the
Xew York advertiser. Fagot fires were
lighted in every square of the narrow,
dusty streets, and soon the town was
all ablaze with the yellow glare that
cast fantastic shadows upon the walls
of the little cubes of mud, the abode
houses of a sun-kissed clime. A shot
was fired, and there emerged from one
of the low buildings a string of as
peculiarly-garbed men as one might
see in a year's travel through foreign
countries. They came tripping out in
single file, about twenty in number,
swaying their lissome bodies in rhythm
with a two-string fiddle and a guitar
that was sadly out of tune, the while
executing a dance that was never seen
upon any stage. The costume was re
ally a wonderful affair, the headdress
being markedly striking in design and
finish. In shape something like the
French chapeau, it served the double
purpose of a mask and headgear, ex
tending to the mouth and enveloping
the greater part of the head. It was
gayly tinseled and tasseled and fairly
shone with beads and all the ornamen
tation which the Mexican fancy can
suggest. The lower part of the face
was concealed by a silk handkerchief
of brilliant color, leaving a small aper
ture for breathing purposes. Down the
back Hunted vari-colored streamers,
and capes of rich material drooped
.'vracefully from the shoulders. In one
hand they carried scroll work that
looked like the substantial side of a
paper rack, Hiid with the other they
rattled their prettily decorated casta
nets in tune witli the monotonous
movements of the dance. Some of the
lancers wi re distinguished in an origi
i;il and startling way, which, to the
iiicricnn onlooker, lent ridicule to the
.vhole imme proceeding. Over their
velvet trousers were drawn abbreviated
iiulluun pantalettes of the style so af
fected by the comic paper cartoonists
in their sketches of the auntie of col
ored society.
Around the flaming fagot fires they
formed and amid a silence as profound
;isu graveyard at night they circled
these tributes to Ihe saint, lieverchang
ing the step, but varying the move
ments of the body lit command of the
leader. Sometimes they would bow
ind sciiipe tu the Humes, and then fall
I i the i iu lli nuil Miiiriu and wriggle
'ike si i many Icrrid make. It was a
veird scene. The glow from the tires
Ircuilfully accentuated the painted
r -s of the liidians,w hostiHal stoically
ilent, with no manifestation of a
pi uviil or displeasure. They funned a
ii riil biiekifriuind to a decidedly dra
matic t-i-i inn ut v. The seliors them
selves, munt led ill their serai', were
ti it Interesting part of the stage group,
and the liiiimt and sallow faces of the
seiioras M-eiuetl to rcllecl the spirit oi
siiif rstitiou that swayed the acetic.
The dancer never appeared to grow
tired. It was "Oh, on with the dunce"
all the time, until a diversion was
created by the sudden apH iirnnc of u
evil spirit in the makeup of a bull.
This fellow wore horns, and the greater
part of his Ixitly wa incased lu Hip
hide of the animal that show ao much
antipathy to red.

Mount Ararat is the first of a series
of hills which end in the ridge upon
which Summit is located. With many
twists and turns the tracks of the Mor
ris & Essex division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad climb
up from the Orange valley to the top of
this ridge at Summit. Quite near to
the track about half a mile is Mount
Ararat, upon which stood for many
years the queer-looking structure called
the "Ark."
This ark, says an eastern exchange,
would have been a mere cockleshell
upon the broad expanse of waters, and
if its builder built it for a second deluge
he took care not to put too much of an
outlay on a useless object. It was
twenty-five years ago that 1$. F. Kissam
owned Mount Ararat and many broad
acres surrounding it. Ilis fine resi
dence stood on the east side of the
Springfield turnpike, in Milburn town
ship, about a mile and a half from the
villages of Milburn and Springfield.
Not far from his house was the base
of Mount Ararat. This spot was the
highest point on his domain, from which
a fine view could be obtained of the
surrounding country. It was iu the
year ISO'.) according to the people still
living in Milburn that Mr. Kissam
constructed the queer wooden building
which looked like an "ark," and was
perched upon the crest of this emi
nence. The craft was about fifteen
feet long by five feet wide, pointed at
both ends, and surmounted by a canopy
supported by fancy posts, much on the
Swiss style. The boat stood about two
feet from the ground and was reached
by a short flight of wooden steps.
Its interior arrangements were very
meager, consisting only of comfortable
scuts at the ends and on both sides. As
the sides were not inclosed it was ex
posed to the elements, and though kept
in repair during the ownership of tho
builder it became a prey to the Influ
ence of time and the storms, which
found it a good murk in its unprotected
position on the hilltop.
At one lime it was a favorite resort
for the schiKil children during the week
days, and on Sundays was the Mecca to
which boys nnd girls turned their steps
when out fur n walk. If any boy had
a new jiickknife whose qualities were
to be tried, the "ark" was the best ob
ject to attack. As a result It was cov
ered with all sorts of piH tic effusions,
both original and otherwise. Initials and
names were carved, cut, or scratched
iu every nook and coi ner. These pen
knife attacks helped along the destruc
tion, and each year witnessed the de
cay and demolition oi Ihe building.
The framework, which alone re
mained, was tlest royed about two years
ago by a lire w hich started in the long
irrns surro'indintr it. Mr. Kissam, Uio
builder, long ago sold tlie proerty
imiii which the "ark" stood, and after
passing through various liunds It 1 now
owned by .lame K. I'itclierof Short
Mills. It is safe to say that no object
hi that portion of New Jersey wa morn
conspicuous than the old "ark," and
nothing was more missed from the landscape.
