It waa in consequence of a chant;*' of haunt on the part of the aperm whule that the South Seaman Splendid in w hi rli I waa fourth mate, waa fixed to spend a season in the Vauvau group of the Friendly lalands.

At the calving season, however, the gravid cows seek shallow waters and sheltered bays for the purpose of bring- ing forth their young, instinct teaching them that there they will be safe for the time of their distress from their naJ ural eueiiiiea. Of ...ur.s the whale- men early discovered this interesting and have often turned it to the most profitable account. Either just before or anon after parturition, the cow humpback is languid and deliberate in her movements, and consequently un- abJe to avoid or resist the attacks of the destroyer.

We were soon joiner by the other Uus. hut all combine/: made no great progress, and we bac seven hours of heavy lalnr before we got the carcass home. Securing il alongside, we went to a hard and well- earned meal, and a good night's rest. Cutting into the blubber next day waa comparative an easy task for us after our experience of the same opera- lions at sea. During the progress of the work the ship was surrounded by an excited crowd of natives in their dugout outrider canoe.s, waiting until we should have dune with the mountain of meat. At last the final cut was given, and the mass sent adrift, at- tacked on all sides by the natives, who made the surrounding islands ring again with their rapturous yells. Grad- ually they got it to the nearest leach, and the feat twfron. From far and near came the hungry ones, and fires innumerable blazed around where i-'r. ni|.o, of natives, unable, to wait, till they reached their homes, gorged them- selves to repletion with the unaccustom- ed food. The following day we resum- ed operations with three boats only, leavings "trying-out " gang onboard '.. I toil down the oil and dispose of it below. Our next encounter waa one after noon aliout seven miles from the ship. We had seen ami unsuccessfully chased several bulls, and were getting very weary of a game where the fun was all on one aide.

Then a watch tackle was clapped on and all b.iinl.s laid on it until we had start- ed him upward. Once he was on the move the work became lighter, and at last the gleam of hia white belly light- ened the depths beneath us But oh. our chagrin when we saw him Truly the MONSTROUS SHARKS had been busy at him all night long, for ceratiiily they had devoured quite one-third of the hard-won blubber. A whole week juusvil without get- ting a fiah or hardly seeing a spout, and we were all a bit weary of the m >n- otony of our day-lung cruaing, beau- tiful though it wa. Sometimes as the lioat glided gently through the lagoon- like paMagea. the whole crew, with the exception of the coxswain, would strip to their hats and take to the water, like so many tritons and nereids at- tending the progress of aome ancient .stvt god, or they would slip nooses of line over their nlioulders and be gently drawn through the limpid, tepid wave- lets without effort and attended by every sensation of a languorous bliss. During one of these periods of boyish enjoyment we suddenly opened up a l>ay whorte shores seemed unfamiliar. The cliffs were very precipitous, but. as usual, heavily wooded. Feeling that we might he approach- ing some new hiding place of the whales, all hands climbed on board and threw on each the two garments that completed his dress. Every uook was eagerly scanned fur spouts, and hardly a glance was wasted upon the mar- vellous scene below. For here, indeed, waa one of the loveliest of nature's pic- tures spread out in all that extra va- About the House. The Oil Stove In the Cellar. Not many cellars ran go through the winter without some of the content* freezing unless extra protection is given. Many people take it fur grant- ed that the cellar will freeze, and so expect to annually dump out a few bushels of potatoes and other vege- tables. And quite frequently canned fruits and apples come in this loss. Now, if you will do a little figuring you will see what this means. A few dollars worth freeze*) one winter, a few dollars the next, and the next and the next. It take* Imt a few years to dmp a hundred dollars' worth of frozen stuff from the cellar. It is done just little at a time so that it is hardly no- ticed. But it is one of those deceitful little leak holes that id industriously sapping the farmer's prosperity, while be is just as industriously swearing at hie general bad luck in not getting along. We onoe had a neightar who had a large crop of potatoes one fall, and as the price was low he put them all in liis cellar, anticipating a better spring price. He lianked up the house and took unusual precautions in pro- tecting the cellar. But it happened that the winter was a very cold one, the thermometer hanging far below zero for days at a time during January and February. Well, his cellar froze in spite of everything, and be lost a great many of his potatoes, near 9100 worth. Now, all such losses and annoyances from the cellar freezing are no longer necessary. They should be classed with the evils of the past. And the remedy lies in the little oil move. Yes, blessings on the little oil stove t Two yean ago we purchased one and nave used it now for two winters in heating our cellar, so I know whereof have your hands floured ; rub tb meat into lutlls; dip into heatea ecg. them in- to finely pulverized cracker, and fry in butter; garnish with parsley Croqueu Use cold veal, chicken or sweetbreads, a little of each or separ- ately.

Suddenly a semicircular opening in the cliff wall opened up.

There appeared to tie a natural channel below corresponding to the ad whaling in south sea doorway above the water, for the sea was here of the earthen floor, with all burnable materials removed from near it. When tbr bricks near the bulkhead begin to look frosty we take warning. We light the stove during the evening, burning it (or two or three hours lfore bed time. By that time the cellar a *uf- fii-ii-nlly warm that all danger of freez- ing for the night is over. As a rule we find that this one lighting of the stove is sufficient for the day. unless the weather is very cold say from 20 toSO degrees below zero, with a pleasant lit- tle north breeze on dock such as we enjoy up here in Minnesota occasionally. At such time* we light the stove again early in the morning and burn it for an hour or two. Previous to getting this stove we used Iepper, salt, and a liuie d Knead, adding a lit- tle .-ri-ain , form in any shape, dip in egg. then roll in cracker crumbs; fry in lard till a light brown. Dry them in the oven. Celery and mushrooms ran be used if liked. Chicken Croquets This is a Boston Cooking School recipe: A four pound fowl will give a little less than three cupfuU of chopped white meat. Dress the fowl and put it into a kettle with several slices of carrot, two slices of turnip, one small onion, a stalk of cel- ery, one liay leaf and three sprig* of ihyii.e. Add three pints of boiling water and cook until tender. Remove the fowl, strain the liquor and coal. Take off the fat and make a sauce, utiing two talilespoonfuls of butter, four tal>lespoonfuls 01 flour, one and one- third i-iipfuLs of the chicken stock and one-half cupful of cream. Add a few grain* of cayenne, a alight grating of nutuieg, salt to taste, and one beaten egg. This makes a thick sauce to bold the chicken together. Take the white meat from the breast and second joints and chop, but not so fine as to be a paste. Moisten with some of the juice and .spread on a plats and chill. Shape into little rolls, roll in dry bread crumbs, dip in an e..-.' beaten with* two taldeNpoonfuls of water and then roll tightly again in the cnunlw.
