Our lioata rimliud in and picked up tho crow of tho sloven bout and took them to their nliip; while tho rent of tho bonta went in jutrnnit of tho whalo. No ono was badly injured. Tho whalo had mndo his grand dive in search of wifely, taking out some tux litiuilrctl lutliomH ol lino. For como minuteH wo saw nothing of Sim.

Then ho rolled upon hm luft aldo, with bia flu out of water, Lin head pointing to tho aim, and sank. Tho Iioatn returned to the ahip and called it I bad beginning, The next morning I wu awakened by the cry from tho mnHthend, "Tliero aim blows thero slio blows I" and quickly mndo my way on deck, "Wlieroawiiy?" from tho officer of tho dock. "Tlirea points npou tho lee bow, three tulles oft" "Whnt dncait look like "A pod of three Polar whales." "Keep her off," to the man at the whoel. "Sing out from aloft when tho Hhips hoada for thorn." "Aye, ayo, air." Everything waa bustle and exolto. mont. Tho line tubs wore placed in the boats, tho boats cleared away and mndo ready for lowering, the orew standing by, ready to lower and jump in at word of oommand. Now the order enme: "Lay tho mainyards square and lower im'hv Ilio boats I" The whnles wore to tho leeward of the stnp ami seemed to be quietly footling, i'hey turned flukes to go down, to ro niaiu leu or fifteen minutes. The boats wero so placi.nl aa to bo as near to tho whnles as poasiblo whou thoy should como up. J waa in my own boat that day and told tho first oflioer to keep handy to mo. We wore all on tho look out to outoli the first glimpso of the whales. Hoon one of them came upoloso to my bout.' I ordered my orew to lake their oars and pull easy, as we wero ex peeting to see tho otbors break water loon, close by. "Now, spring hard to your oars, spring liard j it is a noble follow.

"Pay out the lino, pay ont the lino, Soon ono tub rau out and I gave tho ortler: "Bend on tho other I" Still ho took lino. "Now, bend ou ilio tub to tho end o tho line." Out went tho eiiil of tho lino, tub and nil. lfe remained down some miunfos enmo up, and tho boots wont after him, hooked up Ilio lino and soon had the milliliter of tho deep alongside of the eliip and niado fust with a chain around his flakes. Hardly had the work com menced cutting in when the nnwelcome wind increased. The sea rose with fear ful rapidity, tho land was under our lee nnd fur out extended tho gront icy bnr rier. Cutting in was out of the question, and equally impewiblo was it to lie with the whale aloiigi-ide of tho ship. So his flukes wero unjoitited and slowly he I drifted atern, and with him, to 'our I great chagrin, one hundred and seventy barrels of oil nnd three thousand pounds , of Ixme. 13 ii t wo hud no timo to grtini j bio ; our top-nils wero to lie close-reefed i nnd stormsiiils set. With wntehftil nt i teiition wo cleared the land and ico and j rode out the Btorm. i Tho next whalu was captured and cut in; everything fnvored us and the cm tract wbh delightful. Not a cloud ob scured ti e bright, blue sky. The rug ged cliiTd of Kiiinti'hutka were fur oil' in the western horzon mountains towrr- ing above mountains until they pierced ; the nreh of heaven. The scene wm glorious, but quirk! v parsed awuv. The eoM noit Invest uiudH swept down from the mountains and H meridian sun tvmhl not nrrect the continual formation of ice.

We had just goi ten through with onr stowing, it 1 in;; calm, when the mate reported phut vol whales around the ship. Although' the fog was very thick I ordered him to lower away the boat., and we wwuld line the big signal gun evi ry liflieu minutes, so they should not et too f.ir from the whip. Kneh boat was supple si wild f. horns, so there was little danger of get ting lost. Suddenly the fog lifted and the land wiih in full view. Wo had drifted live hundred miles, most of (ho timo through a thick fo;;, without one observation of the sun. We were nt the mouth of liehring's Straits, a number of ships iu sight, ull of them boiling and Ift all iippenrimces had been taking oil rap idly. Our boalH wero fortunate enough to capture a whalo about the timn the fog lit up. Wo hooii had him alongside and commenced cutting in. Ko far wn had been very sueeesidiil in taking oil. I now concluded to pass through Ilio straits into tho Arctio Oec an. Wo kept along close to tho Asiatic shore, having frequent visits from tlio unlives, Tho Straits nro only about forty miles across from tho Asiatic to American shore. The Dmtnoiio IhIiuiiIs being in the middle of the Straits it is not difficult for the nativea to pass from ono continent to tho other. In passing along wo wero surprised to see a boat ipproneliing tho ship from the shore. Hikiii a lieutenant of oueof her Majesty's shipH, tho Plover, was alongside nnd'oii board. Wo saw the ship at anchor in St, Lawrence Hay, whero wo had pnssetj tho wiuter. Sho belonged to tho licet Mint was iu senrch of Sir John Franklin. The olllcor expressed great surprise nt jvcing us thoro and was moro aurprisml t ill when wo iiiformod him that thero would bo at least fifty whalers in tho Arotio thnt souHon. "Well," said ho, "if Sir John Frank lin is over found yon whalers will bo tl r ntiiia li fowl lum " ones to Ond him. Aftor remaining on board somo timo, giving mo a full uccoimtol the winter ho hud passod thoro, ho returned lo his ship, got her under way nnd went North, Wo were visited by ilio natives every day, they bringing nit ducks nnd ail kinds of wild fowl and wo giving them in return needles, tobacco and tho like. For ono needle wo could get a rair of canvas-hack ducks. Wo often secured as nm li r as a hundred at a time. We landed at ono of those nativo vilhip. a near iyutt Uane. it wns a summer vii. luge, tho pooplo remaining thero during tho tlshing season, Whales at that timo was so plenty and tamo that tho iiuliwn hot! no trouble in eettiim their winter supply of twelve or fourtoon whules to the village.

Tho nativaa wore vory friendly and very fond of tobacco ond whisky. Thoy bad furs of different kinds, salmou, dueks and reindeer, but wero unwilling to sell only for whisky. Their food consisted al most entirely of fish. fowl, rein.lenr anil walrus, never having tasted broad. Their boats had frames of wood oovereu with walrus hides. Somo of these boats would carry thirty or more people.. Wo counted about a hundred and fifty lodged in that villago.

Tho sun was ahovo tho lioriwm th0 'twotity four hours nround, so that I often got my latitHiln by tho aim at twolvo o'clock night. Wewero now getting well fitted up, having taken three thousand barrels of oil and sovonty thousand pounds of whalebone. It was getting lute to rcmuiu in tho Arotio Sea much longer. Tho northwest winds were driving tho ice to tho south L T u!th ,,1,e RKwtesttlimeulty we kept tho ship dear of it. Tho davs were getting abort and tho nights grow. Jug longer. Every day tho thermometer warned us thnt winter whs at hand. .Doing off tho mouth of tho straila.'with fair wind, in company with three other ships, wo kept awny forawarmerclimate.

We kept elf run down for him und fouud such to Ik' the case, lie had struck a lerg, knocked in eeveu timbers sml ns ninnv planks. Tlic ship did not leak badly, as the damage was mostly abovo water; still it would not 1k safe at that season of tho year to attempt the passago to tho .Sandwich Isl mds. Tho captains of tho different ships went on board tho wreck, held a survey and condemned her as being uiiseaw'ortby. The ship was sold at auction, likewise tho oil and material und equally divided among tho threo ships. Tlio ship was taken in shoro to n lafe plaeo and anchored, the oil taken out and she was stripped of everything valuable. Wo let In r go on to tho bench and made lu r a present to .tlio old chief. When we left the bay we saw him walk ing his quarter-deck. Our three ships started in company for Honolulu.

An' what are we ketehiii'? If wo f.'it a dozen or so t' shad ev'ry haul or two we'm duni bit 1-y," The river chore at thin fishery, says I'M. Mott, who is telling the story, is a sloping bench of mini for thirty feet, bounded by a b;gh end abrupt bank, which is the extremity of the rich river bottom lands of the Ileliiwure valley. A delist! growth of elms und birches ex tend up and down the bank. A great fire on the shorn lights up the scene brilliantly, and enstH weird shadows out upon the river. Near by lies a heap of plump shad, their silver sides gleaming in the firelight. Threo men stand on the river's edge holding the end of a ciiie. 'J'ho "eluig" of nam in tho onr '.oclis comes from out on the river, and I'f.hiM'H among the Jersey rocks. A niatl with along bushy pile Htands two or three rods below the shore Heine men, thigh deep in the water. The sound of the oarlocks draws nearer, ami presently a boat appears out of the durkuess. Two men are lowing it toward the shore, towing the further end of the seine. Ah they draw within a few feet of the shore the man with the bushy polo wildly beats the water below them. With one, or two quick, strong Htrokes the oars men send tho clumsy i!at-boltoin bont high on tho saiiily beach. The net ih dragged ashore ami it contents turned out. "Two loiiesoino dii in hu Hhnd I" ox Wnimed tho old lisliermnn. "Jint one notch be'iter'n a dead haul I" Then the men arrange their Heine for another haul, and sit down disconsolate ly to wait for tho fish, if tliero rtro imy in tho river to-night, to gather agnin. "Tin's seo," suiil tho old fisherman. "That's tho fourth haul, tin' wo'vo got jist 'leven shad. When I think o' tho time that if wo didn't git fifty in a haul wo thoiiitht it wn timo to pull in an' tlig for hum, Ihem 'leven shiners lay in' tliero makes me sick, lint they're all she i .nea, lhout.fh, that's Home cons'lntion I an' this is a lectio wuss ilsliiu' than the ev'ridge.

Boys, we'll git some this trip. I've heord 'cm a skippin' fur a minute or two." Tho shad wore now in livoly-play, as sounds of musical splashing in the water, hoard at frequent intervals, plain ly indicated. Tho soino was rolled up iu the stern of the boat, ono end held on shoro. Ono boatman rowed out into tho river, with tho boat hoadod up stream. Tho other played tho net out from the etern. "When that's all out," naid tUo old fisherman, "they'll turn down stream nnd sweep arouu'd in a curve fords shore ngin." Tho old fishorman turned and walked toward the river's edge. Suddenly ono of tho shad on the pile began to movo slowly awny from it. It moved across IlioHitnd toward a clump of bushes on the bank, nt first iu an uncertain and wavering manner, nnd then, with a sud den dart forward, disappeared, Thnt was startling to u stronger. At mid night, iu a weird spot, with no sound disturbing tho solitude but the silvery plush of tho water, the shrill cry of the mysterious peeper among tho hIioio weeds, and tho eehoiui; lliud of tho oar. locks, to see a (lead Hlnut stealthily lenvo its equally defunct companions mid dart away in tho ihirknoHS, was a sight that was, indeed, startling to n stranger. Tlio old fisherman's attention wus immediate ly culled to the mysterious disappenr aliee. "Dod wollop 'em I" ho howled, and bounded along Ihe trail of that shad up tho bank ond disappeared. Instantly nnot tier shod left the pilo and traveled off into tho bushes in another direction, nnd thou the strnuger uotieed that of tho eleven shad there were only six left. Five had escaped. The stranger nroso itiul walked nearer to tho men on tho river's odgo. There was liorn of Urn knowledge thnt five dead shad had escaped from their captors by an over land route a fooling of awo siiillcient to make him fool that it wns not well to lie alone. Presently the old flchormon came bock, lie was puffing m from a hard ran. He had the shad, fifty yards ot stout fish-line, and a big fish-hook. "I ketched the dnra little pirate half way 'cross the plowed field," said lie, "on' if he's ablo to set down agiu this iveek I'll cat them 'leven shad raw, an' one, two, threo, four, five, six, an' this tin makes seven, said tlio old nsuer I man, as his eye noticed the depleted pilo. "Dod wollop ye all I" he shouted, ! slinking his fist at the darkness and tho ijUHhcs. "I'll hove ye all in jail to-mor ! rer I" I It seems, as tho old fisherman ex ! plained it, that it hi one of the innocent pastimes of tho Tike county small boy ' to lurk at night in tho bashes surround. i ing the shad lwhones. A long usu-iiuo, I with a large hook at ono end of it is in , his pocket When shod arc piled up on , the shore the suiull boy watches his op. portunity, and, crawling as quietly as a snake from his hiding place, fastens the hook in a slnnl. then ho creeps back i That shad msr lio there half an hour be fore the smnll boy dure venture to haul ! it iu. It is rare thnt ho can capture ' more than ono in an evening, and some- times ho returns shndless from the held , leit this night tho conditions weie un . usually line. While the old fisherman i was talking and tho wen wero resting, j the small boys, being ambushed in large force, had hooked live from tho pile, but only got away with fonr, thanks to the siqierstitious lenr ol tlio stranger.

In nn npple tree a few rods nwny a robin wns busying herself at tier nest, riiuldctily tliero wits n Hush of something iu theuir, and a sparrow-hawk swooped down on tho chippy, and the next instant tho hawk wus soaring ti ward with the bird in bis talons. A number of lielies were on tho hotel piuzzi, sorrowful witnesses of tho capture. 'J'ho robin seems to havo been u witness of the abduction also, and, to me surprise ol Ilio spectators, sturtetl ill pursuit of the marauding huwk. Over taking tho retreating robber, the robin at once attacked it ferociously, Sho dealt blow after blow with her beak on the hawk's body with wonderful rnniditv. each blow being followed by a tuft of leatners irotn tlio inrgo hint s jiliimiigo. The hawk seemed dazed at first, nnd rose almost perpotidieiilurly in tho nir. The robin followed persistently, and kejit up her fe rocious onslaught. Then tho hawk swooped downward und turned abruptly in another direction. Still tho plucky little assailant followed, and at every stroke from tho beak tho hawk ut tered a cry of pain. Tho mid-air contest was waged iu a nnrrow circle, so that it was iu continu ous sight und hearing of tho ladies on the jiiu.a. The excitement wns intenso among tln.ni. They loudly opplnuded every blow of tho robin on tho hawk, nod tittered endearing cries of encour ageineiit. The feathers of tho hawk Hunted thickly about in the air. For nt least a mimito tho light continued, and then the huwk released hu captive from his talons. The chippy fell liko a plummet to tho ground. To tint spectators it seemed that tho littlo thing Imd escaped from the hawk only to bo tlashed to death on Ilio ground, when suddenly it found its winga, and, fluttering an instant, gained a safe poise nnd flew to a perch near tho ono on which itdiad been seized, and snt thero ns meekly ns if nothing had oc curred to disturb it in tho least. Tho robin gnvo the hawk two or three savugo picks in imrting, nnd then returned tc her nest in tho tree. Tho cnlhuHiiism nmong tho spectators was unlKiiiiitled. Tf tho hnwk hndu't lost its head ho could have turned on tho robin and taken it along with tho chippv to tickle his jiulnto nt his leisure. All Hint could bo found of tho hnwk's leatners llmt hud been torn from it by the robin were picked up by tho eiithu siastio spectators, and will be kept as souvenirs of tho unexpected nnd ro mnrknblo rescuo of tho chipjiy by tho robin.

Before ho could bo secured he hod dischargod no fower than 57 shots, killing threo men on the spot and wounding eight more, one of whom died soon after being taken to tho hos pital, while five of the otbors are re ported to bo in a hopeless state. Making: a Queen. Bees do not usually want moro than ono qncen. In fact, they will not hove moro than one nnless the swarm has grown so Inrgo as to crowd the hivo and Ihey are going to found a colony, or "swarm," os it is colled; in which case each family will need a sovereign. As soon as it is clear to tho wiseacres thnt it will be necessary to solid off a swarm, tho bees go to work to mako a quoen. A worker maggot, or if thero hnppcns to bo none in tho hive, o worker egg, is se lected near the edge of tho comb. Two cells .licit door to tho ono in which this maggot is arc cleared out, nnd tho di fiding walls are cut down, no that threo ordinary cells nro tnmed into ono. Tho food which 1 ho worker worm Iiuh been feeding on is removed, nnd tho littlo creaturo i supplied with n new kind of food a royal jelly. Chango of food, a larger room, and a different position Ihe queen's cell hangs down instead of being horizontal these tlirco changes of In utmeiit turn the bco thnt is develop ing from a woi ker into a queen. Sho is lifferent in her outer shape, different in ilnwst nil her organs, mid different iu every single instinct. Tliero is nothing else iu iiiituro that seems to mo more wonderful than thia. For fear that one queen mnv not como out all right, tho provident littlo crea tures usually start two or three quoen ;ells ut once. It is curious to watch tho lirst queen ns sho conies out. Sho moves up and down tho combs, looking for other quccn-eells, and if ()ho finds tnc, !.hc falls upon it in the greatest 'ex citement, and Mings her rival to death. .Sometimes, by accident, two now queens como out at tho same time; then it is wonderful to sen tho bees. They clear o i-paco nnd bring tho two rival queens together, nnd htntid buck to watch the fight. Ami it, is o royal light indeed; a fight to tho death, for tbe'v never give up till one or tho other is fatally stung. The victor is then accepted as sover eign. ,yr, jXichtilax Jur June.
