ahead of the supply. To Injure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from tba blood cer
tain materials and return to It certain
others. It is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what la necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for. the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet cer

These are: Golden ;.! root. Queen's

By MARK SULLIVAN.
H'
E was a Norwegian, but hia ea
English waa aa good aa the king.
lie waa big and muacular, with a rare
combination of weight and wirineaa.
Hia fare and eye were atern enough
when he shouted orders from the
bridge, but, when playing the host In
his cabin, as merry as a Santa Claua
without the whiskers. Hia skin waa
tanned by the salt spray and burned by
the sun of every degree of latitude
where ships have ever been. He had
caught whalea in every era, from the
Persian gulf to Itaftin'a bay; and a few
year ago he abandoned the old way
of New Bedford and all romance the
three-year-long, round - the - world
cruise in a aniling vessel a try the
adaptation of steam to whaling. Por
the big brick oven on the deck to boil
the blubber (which all remember who
know The Cruise of the Cachalot) he
substituted a permanent factory for
refining the oil, located on the north
ern ahore of Newfoundland. From this
he steamed out to the whaling grounds
each morning and back at night, rare
ly without a prire. Fortheold method
of throwing a harpoon by hand from a
small boat he substituted a harpoon
gun from the bow of hi whaler; and
with these improvement conducted a
buainrsa that will soon make the few
urviving New Bedford sailing whaler
aa obsolete as wooden plows.
I lay in his spare bunk, acrosa the
narrow cabin from his own, and
dropped to sleep aa he finished a tale,
strangely like Kipling's "Three Seal
ers," of a fleht bet ween rival crews for
a dead whale in the Okhotakaea. Only
a minute later, it seemed, I bumped
my head against the top of th bunk
to the quirk awakening of an excited
Norwegian craft cry from the top of
the companinnway. Thecaptam leaped
from hia hunk. He waited not for
shoe nor for other clothea than thoae
he selpt in. but bounded up the step,
shouting orders as he ran. While I

the other he was making signnl to the
engineer to stop, t.i itm foward a little,
or to go bock. Following hia eyes, 1
mm: M sight of our game. It looked
like a huire. ricar-ahaped piece of
smooth, shinv- sinte-cniored India rtib
lr, rising at regular internals m that
four or five feet of his diameter and 40
feet of his length showed like a mound
on the sniiMith water. With alternnte

smoothly forward, without apparent
exertion, but with tremendous eed.

were approaching him from behind at

were the aide of a V.

The crew were grouped behind him as
eager and expectant as if thev had
never caught a whale before. One of
trcm touched me on te shoulder snd
pointed silently a mile away, where a
doren other whales were spouting fine
columns of vspor. When I turne.
again to our whale he had risen once '
more, and we were within l feet of
him. Every peraon on the ahip was in
a Mate of tiptoe alertness. Suddenly
came the crash of the gun. I saw a hid
eous red tigrag sash on the broad side
of the whale; I heard the rumbling
roar of the time bomb at the point of
the harpoon exploding In the whale's
vitals. On deck there was a convulsive
pandemonium. The captain, in the de
lirium of the hunter at the death of his
qusrry, was shrieking shrill staccato :
orders. The crew were leaping to their
poata. Suddenly 1 felt the bow of the

reached the end of hia alack rope with
a Jerk that shook the ahip from atom 1o
tern. There waa an inateat tug of
war between th whale and the re
versed engine. Then th whale won
and for a minute palled the vessel for
ward with him.
Again the windlass whirred and
whizzed, but with diminishing speed.
Far out at the end of hia t wo mile of
rope, the whale churned and laahed the
water and blew big blast of hot vapor.
Thecrew saw the end and relaxed their ' agreeably. And thus doea the typ
tenaeneaa. They gave him half an hoar leal hotel clerk of the big city Con
or o to end hia convulsion. Then the duct himself always, doing more by

A the whale felt the pull he gave one
fecbl. dying jump. The men (topped
a minute, th en continued alowly to pull
in. Finally, the huge, inert, flabby
body floated belly upward, just eff tbe
bow. They lowered a boat, passed a
ohain about the narrow circumference
where the tail widen, and grappled
him to the aide of the vesael. I could
see a doren quarreling porpoises eat
ing the tongue of the monster that
had been an hour before alive and, to
thoee scavengers, invincible. The rap
tain gave a aigh and a smile of content
snd leaned over the side to measure
with hia eye the sire of his prize. The
crew busied themselves with loading
the harpoon gun again and putting
thinira in order.
All this waa before Ave in the mora
ind and before breakfaat. After the
meal, when we came 41 deck again,
there had risen a heavy Iceland wind.
The captain sniffed ft and glanced at
the choppy sea. M 'Twill be a bad day
for the feeah," he said; and went aloft
to hia bridge to watch with his glass
ea for another "blow." With the wind
"ame rain, and tbe two did. indeed,
make bad fishing. Not that the whales
went in out of the wet, as an irreverent
tailor muat tell the guileless lands
men; there waa scarce a time when we
could not eee a doren "hlows" within
a five-mile radius. Often, when we
were not prepared for them, they
would swim right past us with all the
dignity of an ocean liner apeeding past
a bobbing fishing craft. Thev never
eeemed to be merely browsing idly
around they were always swimming
in a straight tine, and always very fast.
a if they had important buaineas
aomewhere on the roast of Sweden
When they were close by we could fol
low them readily with the eye. and see
them risinir and dipninir at reeiilar in
tervala. Farther off. milestones of
their course were their "blows." It is
the one conspicuous mammal charac
teristic remaining to thia expatriated
land animal who ha chosen the en
vironment of fiah for hia abode: once
In ao often he muat breathe. And as
his takinir breath involves blowing a
rO-foot hiirh pillar of white vapor into
the air. it is this "mark of the beast
and of the beast's natural habitat that
betrays him to hie enemies.
Ijite in the afternoon the captain on
the bridge swept the ea with his
irlasea. and saw no sicn of a "blow."
He glanced at the ainkinc sun and
measured with his eye the 10 miles tc
the harbor. He dropped hia glasae
and gave a quiet order thM meant the
day's work was done. The deck was
put in order, and the stocky little
whaler, with her trophies grappled
close to her side, set her how towards
the mainland. It wss not for the want
of "fish" that we had fisherman's luck
that day. Put the whaler was no
larger than a tugboat. The heavy sea
tord her about like a cork, and aim
ing a cannon with so unsteady a haae

Three timea he fired and miel; ami j

and puffed a loni? ripar in profound
content. ' I judjred. bv what he had

"Mr. A, I'm glad to see you. Will

Good! It's vacant, fortunately.
How do yoa do, Mr. B? There are

"I have the vaudeville habit," said a
diffident, mild man. relates the Phila
delphia Record. "Every week you may
see me bi-aming in a box at some vaude
ville performance, but I tremble with
fear when I see by my programme
that a magician is to come on.
"For my nature is retiring; I love to
blush unseen, but magicians invariably
single me out and make me help them
in their tricks.
"Last wt-ek, for instance. I stood in
the front of my box for quite tw o min
utes, holding at arm's Hngth a huire
paprr ba; containing an egg. My hand
and wrist looked extremely red ad
bony; the thought that tbe audience
was regarding their ugliness filled me
with shame.
"Yesterday a femaJe magician at this
theater made tea out of sand, and be
gan to pass it around to assure the
audience of its reality. World .he

but her eye caught mine somehow, and
she advanced to the box rail frcm the

awkwardly and took one of the cups.
In full view of the audience I drank it.
and felt iike a fool.
