EDAFFPilli afHOUuUp M "Where do the fur seals go to? Certainly not northwards, for it is well known that not a single seal is to be found north of the Priby- lovs, and the floating ice of winter prevents any congregation of am phibious life. There is then the southwards, the enprmous ex panse of sea south of the Aleutian chain, 5,000 miles of water be tween Japan and Oregon, swarm ing with the natural food of the seal fish. They can have no resting-place,or it would be known; they must therefoie spend all their time afloat, seeing that they sleep at sea just as comfortably as, or perhaps more so than on land. They lie on their backs, fold the fore flippers aoross the breast, turn the hind ones up and over, so that the tips rest on their necks and chins, thus exposing only the nose and the heels of the hind flippers above water, nothing else being: seen. Hero is no poetical fancy, but a prosaic fact, "rocked in the cradle of tho deep." One cannot but think of the enormous quantity of fish they must get through. Tho common seal, sucli as we see in our aquaria, has evidently a most voracious ap petite, and never seems able to get as much as he can do with. Consider then ihe weight that must be consumed in the year by the fur seal, several times its size, roaming about under thoroughly natural conditions in its natural element, instead of being cooped up within the four walls of a tank. As a matter of fact, the hosts of the fur seal produce a notable scarcity of fish around the Priby lovs. It is perfectly hopeless to throw a line over the gunwale of a boat. You must go out at least seven or eight miles, and then you can get nothing but very small halibut. Practically, the sea for a hundred miles round is cleared of fish. It is computed that forty pounds per day is rather a starva tion allowance for an adult male, twelve pounds to a female, and not much, if any, less for tho fast growing pups. Allow an average of ten'pounds pnr individual per day, and calculate what four or five millions would consume every year only seven million tons or so. Why, all the fishing in tiie world is but a drop in the bucket compared with this. "We must ie member, too, that the seal is only one of the creatures which prey on fish. I can well believe what is asserted by many well informed people that the supply of sea fish is inexhaustible by any means known to man. W. II. Rhodes, 118 E. Gay SL, Coliim bns, O., in 1879, was taken ill with pal pitation and neuralgia of the heart, consequent on diseased kidneys. "Hor rible Dyspepsia" also afflicted hiin.

He is bound to show his true character there. It does not make any difference whether he is a winner or a loser, he will show himself just as he is before he gets through. It takes a cool head and lots of nerve to keep quiet in a game of poker, watch the players and never be moved by the jokes, growls and jeers oi fellow-players. There are some players who never know when they are being whipped around the bush. These fellows are never satisfied with the text of the game. If the ante is twenty-five cents they will invariably make it seventy-five cents when it comes to their turn, so as to make a jack pot. But it is seldom that they win one of these big pots. Some quiet dnck, who had no hand in the job, will open tho pot with two pair or better, and then one of the smart Alecks, with a small pair and au ace, or a bob-tail flush will raise the pot and attempt to steal by a reck less bluff. But he always gets a call, and in the end finds himself only the deeper in the hole. And then ho swears, and thinks he is playing in terrible hard luck. A mau who makes it a practice of bluffing in a small limit game, or who invariably comes in on a small pair when a jack-pot is opened, is nothing short of a chump. Put that in your pipe and smoke it as it fits a good many of you. There are some players you never can satisfy, no matter how you play; so the only way is to attend to your own business, keep your mouth shut and your e'es open, play your hand for all there is in it, see that the cards are well shuf fled and cut, and when 3'ou find a chronic growler or a bluffer in the game, study his game and make him your meat. ilns.
