Killing- Seals
' Droves of cattle, sheep or swine on
their way to market are common sights;
a rarer spectacle is a drove of turkeys,
though this is now and then seen at some
western shipping point, but it could
hardly be imagined that seals could be
driven to market. Yet, according to a
recent bureau publication, this is the
practice in Alaska.
The seals are not found on the coast of
the mainland; but they frequent the
Pribyloo Islands in the Behring sea.
The seals caught here are not like those
of Labrador, which are taken more for
their oil than for their skins, but arc the
genuine fur seal, whose soft, warm
coats eventually enfold the forms of so
ciety belles. The islands are cold, bleak
desolate places, bare of timber, and in
the Bummer time almost always over
flowing with thick fogs or clouds
' shutting out the rays of the sun, but yet
they are pleasant to the seals who like a
cool temperature. The seals begin to
appear at the islands in May, the first
comers being invariably bulls. They
select for themselves plots of ground on
the bench, and as later arrivals attempt
to dispossess them, desperate combats
take place. They fight entirely with their
mouths, and while their bodies writhe
with exertion and rage, their heads dart
out and back with surprising swiftness
Their teeth tear out deep gutters in one
another s sides, tne blood streams down.
and a furious roaring mixed with whist
ling sounds, never ceases while the bat
tie lasts. These fights are always be
tween males, and ends as soon as one
gives up the coveted position to the
other. Last May, one old bull fought
between forty and fifty battles, and when
th3 fighting season was over he lorded it
proudly over his family of fifteen or
twenty females, although one of his eves
had been gouged out and hi3 front wa
covered with gashes. When the males
take up their positions they must remain
on guard day and night, so that they
have no opportunity to go after food un
til the end of the season, in the early
part of August. Hence they fast for
three months or more. When they
come up from the sea they are so fat that
the blubber is packed about their shoal
tiers in unsightly masses. At the end of
the season they are lean, limp, abject and
spiritless, hardly able to crawl back into
the bea. .
The cows or ffemale seals generally
make their appearance about the middle
of June. The bulls then have their last
desperate fights, and those who remain
iu possession of eligible portions of the
beach monopolize the society of the fe
males. As a result of this arrangement
abont two-thirds of the youthful male
seals are cut off from female companion
ship. These seals are known as the
bachelors and herd together by thousands
away from the breeding grounds, some
times miles distant. These seals are the
ones captured for their furs, and they
are actually driven along over the ground
to the slaughter fields. The Aleuts em
ployed by the company which has a
lease of the seal fisheries slip in between
the dozing seals and the water. The first
impulse of the seals when they see men
in the way they turn and scramble up
the land. The Aleuts follow keeping
the seals together and driving them
ahead as if it were a herd of swine they
were directing. Singular as it may seem
in view of the unwieldliness of the seal
when on land, it is asserted when hard
pressed, a seal can lope along as fast as
a man can run, but it is soon exhausted
and falls down helplessly Ordina
rily a drove of seals can travel
at . the rate of half a mile an ; hour.
Three or four men can manage as many
thousand seals. There are frequent
halts to allow the seals to rest. The
jan ting animals fan themselves with
their hind flippers, and when they have
gotten their wind again, a shout and the
clatter of bones from the Aleuts starts
the herd on its shambling, shuffling way
again. The young males are as docile as
sheep; an old bull will fight sooner than
be driven, and if such a one is caught in
a herd he is allowed to drop, behind, as
his fur is of little or no value.
The author of this report, Mr. Henry
W. Elliot, is a naturalist attached to the
Smithsonian institution, and writes from
personal observation. He thinks that if
only the bachelor seals are hunted and
the breeding places are not disturbed,
the seal lands of Alaska will remain a
regular source of support to the fur
trade. But if the breeding grounds are
hunted, the seal will be exterminated or
driven away. Many years ago the shores
of Patagonia and the Antarctic islands
swarmed with millions of fur seals, and
now they have become rare animals
where once they abounded.
How the Singer's Cold Was Cured.
In the reign of Frederick II, of Prus
sia there was at the Berlin theatre a
greai vnu.uiriva wuu uevuieu a great
portion of her time to colds and fits of
hysterics. For the merest trifle she
would have the performance postponed
and the publio sent away disappointed,
and one night when the great king him
self was already in his box, the stags
manager advanced to the footlights and
spoke thus: "Ladies and gentleman, the
management is grieved to have to an
nounce that our prima donna is hoarse,
and that there will be no performance
this evening." Thereupon Frederick
the Great turned to his aide-de-camp,
gave hjm an order, and then leaning
toward the orchestra, made a sign to
have the musicians to remain in their
places. . A quarter of an hour elapsed,
during whioh the public were in a state
of painful suspense. The certain
then rose and the stage manager ad
vanced to the feotlights once more and
. r T t - il T
naU : jjacues aim gcuueiuBu, 1 m. am
happy to inform you that our prima
donna has suddenly recovered from her
cold, and will have the honor of appear
ing before you." Thereupon the prima
donna entered. She was very pale, but
she never sang better. The king had
cured her instantly, and here is his majes
ty's recpie for the benefit of all whom it
may concern. The cantatrice was sitting
cosily by her fireside, no more hoarse
than you or we, and exulting over the
trick she had played her manager, when
suddenly the door of her boudoir was
thrown violently open, and officer, fol
lowed by four dragoons, entered.
"Mademoiselle," said the officer, "the
King, my royal master hm sent me to in
quire after your precious health."
"I am very hoarse."
"His Majesty knows it, and has or
dered me to take you to the infimary of
the military hospital, where you will get
well in a few days.
The actress grew pale. "Iti3 a jest,"
she murmured.
"An officer of the King never jests."
The Lieutenant made a sign to his
men, who lifted the artist with the deli
cate attentions that distinguish dragoons
and carried her down to a coach waiting
below. They then mounted their horse3.
"To the hospital !" cried th officer,
and off they went.
"Wait a little!" cried the cantatrice,
after a few minutes. "I think I am bet
. ter."
"The King desires that yon should be
perfectly cured, and that you should
sing this very evening."
"I will try, murmured the prisoner.
"To the opera house!" commanded the
Lieutenant. -
The cantatrice dressed in haste, and
then as she was about to appear on the
stage she said to her jailer:
"Sir. since the King demands it, 1 am
going to sing, but Heaven only Knows
how!"
"You will sing like the great artist you
are." "
"I shall sing like an artist that is
hoarse."
"I don't think so."
"And why?"
"Because I am going to place a dra
goon at each wing of the stage, and at
the first falte note the troopers will sieze
yon and carry you oft" to the hospital."
The Scold was then thorouhiy cured
and the prima dona sang divinely.
I A Tramp's Philosophy.
In the hip pocket of an old vagrant
was a memorandum book full of his own
writing with a pencil, and some of his
philosophy is good enough to be pre
served. His first paragraph reads:
"Drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting in the way of
bullets purchased by an enemy."
A second reads: ,
"Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second best.
It is hard to be honest on an empty
stomach.
A third says
"A dry plank under a rain-proof shed
is better than a leather bed in lail, and
one isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing
in a square breakfast.
A fourth says:
"Pay as you go. If you haven't any
thing to pay with, don't go. If you are
forded to go, record every indebtedness
and let your heirs settle the bill
The fifth explains:
"We should have charity for all.
Whpn winter winds blow cold p,nd
drear, we vags should pity the poor
fellows in India who are having red-hot
weather.
A sixth recorded:
".Politeness costs nothing, but it is
not expected that you will wake a man
up at midnight to ask permission to go
through his hen house. it is far more
courteous to let him enjoy his needed re
The seyenth and last we noted down as
follows:
"When you pick up an apple core do
not find fault because it is not the apple
itself, but be satisfied with the grade of
descent. Do not be ashamed of your
occupation. We cannot all be lords,
nor can we all be vagrants. As I connot
be a lord, I shall not lament at being a
vagrant. Be truthful and outspoken
that is, tell them you are a Chicago
fire sufferer. Keep seasonable hours,

natured. Growling won't cure a sore

Widish Railways.
Of Swedish railways I was told that
some are managed by the state, while
others,: like our own, are private under
takings for the benefit of share holders.
In either case the motto "slow and sure"
seems that adopted by the management.
The trains are always slow, and gener
ally sura to be behind at the terminus.
In either case moreover, the arrange
ment of the trains seems specially adapted
to the public inconvenience. The time
tables appear to be constructed on the
plan of discomforting the traveler as
much as it is possible, and giving him
the fullest chance to exercise his patience.
As a rule lie has the option of a couple
of trains a day, and must be thankful for
the privilege. He may take, say an ex
press, which starts at five a. m., to carry
him half way, with the chance of his just
missing a train that may convey him the
remainder of his journey; or he way elect
to wait till somewhat later in the day,
when a through train is provided, which
will go at a snail's pace, and land him at
his destination abont midnight. If he
wants 'to catch a boat, which nominally
plies in conjunction with the railroad,
his fate may be worse, and a day or two
pass ere the transit be completed. Seen
simply on the way and studied in the
time-tables, the journey may be facile and
feasible enough, but when put in execu
tion the plans which have been formed
with an infinitude of trouble may prove
of little profit. Obstacles start up at
every stage along the route. Trains are
so delayed that they fail to fit in as an
nounced, a rattle-trap vehicle breaks
down between the hotel and the boat;
or some ingenious misprint is discovered
when too late, which is fatal to the hope
of accomplishing the journey within the
time appointed. Grumblers who growl
over the bewilderments of Bradshaw,
should set themselves the task of work
ing out the problem of a short cross
country trip by the figures which are
furnished in a Swedish time-table; the
travelers who complain when the tidal
train from Paris is some five minutes late
should learn to exercise their patience by
a little tour in Sweden.
Talnning Frn t.
Thinning fruit is one of the practices
which will repay the culturist for the
time and labor expended in the opera
tion. The more valuable the fruit, the
better it pas to thin it while young.
Peaches and pears, being more valuable
than apples, better repay the cost of
thinning. The best varieties of apples,
however, will well repay the expenee in
curred. The fruit should be thinned
soon after it sets. The sooner the young
fruit is removed, the less of the energies
of the tree will be consumed in its use
less growth, and the larger and finer will
be the development of the fruit that re
mains. The practice of thinning fruit is
commended by some of the best Ameri
can frnit culturista, such as J. J.
Thomas, President Wilder and many
others. The cost of thinning is not so
great as one might imagine it would be,
and is trivial in comparison with the in
creased price obtained. Hon. A. S. Dyck
man of South Haven, Mich., it is said,
estimates that the cost of thinning his
peaches does not exceed 5 cents per
basket of those remaining. From one of
his trees he removed 10,000 peaches and
the ripened crop amounted to fifteen
baskets. Mr. George Parmelee, of Grand
Traverse county, is said to have sold
peaches one year from trees where the
fruit had been thinned, for 2.50 per
basket, while the fruit which had not
been thinned sold only for $1.25. The
advantage gained in thinning pears is
equally great.
The flowing gowns for little girls are
very pretty made in flowered surahs or
cambrics, with a long fichu of muslin
and lace brought under the arms like a
cut away jacket, and the ends tied in the
huge bow at the back.
One cannot always convert common
sense into ten dollar bills.

"My dear," said Mr. Spoopendyke,
examining the baby's feet critically to
see if they were both alike, "my dear, I
see that one of the strikers, or capital,
has been hurt; do you know the facts
about it?
"How hurt? what did it say?" asked
Mr. Spoopendyke, turning from th
glass and strapping his razor.
"I don't remember exactly, but he
went down to a slaughterhouse to get
something for his family and somebody
shot him in the legs."
"That's the way it happened was it?"
demanded Mr. Spoopendyke, grinning
through his lather. "He didn't go to
his family for a pair of legs and some
body bhot him in the slaughterhouse,
did he? Nor he didn't go down to his
legs for a slaughterhouse, and somebody
shot him in the family ! That wasn't the
way it read, was it?"
"No-o o, I think not," replied Mrs.
Spoopendyke, dubiously, "I'm sure it
was something about a slaughterhouse
and legs. Do you know how it hap
pened?" "Yes, I know how it happened,"
mocked Mr. Spoopendyke, pegging away
at his visage with the razor, "if I hadn't
found out away from home I'd always
been puzzled about it, though. Two gen
tlemen fought a duel, and one got shot.
That's all there is m it."
"I knew there'd be some trouble as
soon as I read about those strikes," con
fidently continued Mrs. Spoopendyke.
"What's the strike to do with it?"
vociferated Mr. Spoopendyke. "Think
he struck for another shot? Got a notion
he st Tick for more legs, haven't ye? It
would have been a bad idea, that, solilo
quized Mr. Spoopendyke, rather im
pressed with the combined originality
and utility of that class of strike.
"Did he get shot in both legs?" queried
Mrs. .Spoopendyke. It must have been
a cannon ball, or elso he held his legs in
front of each other."
"That's the way he did it," moaned
Mr. Spoopendyke. "They always do
that. When they are fighting a duel
they sit down like a tailor or a Turk.
What d'ye think they fight with, forts?
Got some kind of a vague idea that they
fight with a line of battle ships? Who
said anything about cannon balls? Pis
tols, I tell ye! They fought with pistols,
and one of them hit the other! Boll that
information around in your ten acre in
telligence!" "Certainly," faltered Mrs. Spoopen
dyke. "But tell me, dear, why should
one man shoot another for going to the
slaughter house?"
"Holy herring!" ejaculated Mr.
Spoopendyke. "He went there to get
shot. It was agreed up. The man who
shot him had reflected on his honor and
he went there to satisfy it."
"And did it satisfy his honor to shoot
him in the legs?" asked Mr. Spoopen
dyke. "That was as near as I could get to it.
I tell you that when a man fights a duel
he wipes out an insult, when he gets
shot in the legs or the ear. It makes no
difference."
"I should think it would," murmured
Mrs. Spoopendyke. "It would to me.
So his honor is all right now, is it?" ;
"Of course it is," replied Mr. Spoop
endyke, wiping his face. "Suppose you
can reason on the subject without any
further information from me?"
"I guess so," ruminated Mrs. Spoop
endyke. "As I understand it,
if a man's honor is hurt all
he's got to do is to get shot in the legs,
though I don't see why he didn't shoot
himself, unless, it was that he couldn't
reach around."
"That's j ust the reason!" roared Mr.
Spoopendyke. "He shot at himself in
the looking-glass all the morning, and
couldn't make it work, so he hired a
man to do it for him. It took your shot
tower intellect to see into it! What you
want now is a squint in one eye and
some dod gasted friends to interfere
to be a revised edition of the
measly code! If you only had somebody
to chalk off six paces on you and a squad
of police with a bench warrant, you be
a regular Bladensburg! I'm going out
to fight a duel and get shot! Think you'd
understand it then? If I had a bullet
through both legs would you want any
more information?"
"No, dear," sighed Mrs.Spoopendyke,
and as her husband tossed his shaving
brush into the baby's crib and slammed
out the door, she began to think that a
man shouldn't keep his honor in his
legs if they couldn't take care of it.

Mabtha Washington. Immediately
after the death of George Washington,
at Mount Vernon, the room which he
and Mrs. Washington so loDg occupied
the most spacious of the second-story
apartments, opening upon a varanda, or
balcony, and commanding a fine view of
the surrounding country was closed
and carefully guarded for many months,
no one being allowed to enter. In the
mean time his wife selected a much
smaller room immediately overhead,- in
what might be called the attic, but which
gave her an excellent view of the Potomac
and the tomb of her husband. Hsre
Martha Washington remained in almost
perfect seclusion until her death, about
eighteen months after his demise, no one
being admitted to her presence there
except one attendant and a favorite cat,

of which was made in the single door of
the apartment, and which is now pointed

Dr. Moody, of New York City,
A Graduate of the Xw Yot k. School of MedU

A word to the public-Consultation free.
I invite the pick, no matter what their diseases may
be, to call and investigate for lliemselves before aban
doning all hopes, fur it will eest you nothine. I rive
no eneouragt-nient enless there is a fair priHject of
making a cure. I will endeavor to be -undid in my
opinion and reasonable in my chaitres. 1 claim not to
cure everybod v, but to cure all that can be nireti. I
have had twenty years' surcesfcful practice In the
treatment ot ootu acute ano enronic aiscase. l nave
located in Portland, iindall I ask is that you (five me a
fair, unbiased trial, by which 1 hope to merit your con
fidence, and Rive f-ntire fMUisfneilou to ail suffering
humanity. My reputation has teen acquired by being
candid with my putienti?, through years of successful
practice, both in Eurojie and in this country, and
studiously keeping up with the age. 1 know t lie cause
and remedy needed, not by guesswork, but by years
of experience.
In my treatment of many diseases T make use of a
new method of cure. The treatment ts simple and the
most feasible of all. There fat no unpleasant sensation
w hatever attending the treatment. 1 Invite all persons
alHicted to visit and freely convince themselves, leav
inff me to verify the a-s-rtkn that there has never
existed a remedy so startling and immediate in its
effects. 1 hese noted curative ais, a handled in my
practice. ar? endor ed and apin'oved by the faculties
of both Kurope and America. The beneficial effects
are jH-rceptible almost from the start. Ciases reirarded
incurable, and of years standing, yieid to its mild but
wonderful Influence. And in no ease can the treat
ment be attended w th the least danger, thereby tes
tify insr it to be the most harmless agent in hf-rleu-tics.
Those who wit-h to apply for advice or I reutment
mav confidently do so without hesitaiinn or diftideiice,
as the most timid may rely on that inviolable secrecy
wht h has already trbvel the basis of an extensive
professional reputation abroad.
Cases can be treated by coriespcnd'-nce when a per
sonal interview is impossible, providing the patients
will minutely detail all of their bodily ioflrmalies and
mental disturbances written in a simple aud natural
style, and in accordance with the nec. ssary de iii.sof
their own feelings. Oi.e personal interview, however,
even with patients residing at a it-tance is highly le
sfraide when practicable, and will more than rca.v
the ltuttent the expense and trouble of a trip to Port
land. The advantage of even a visit are apparent and
manifold. A sinele visit in mtmt cases will ensble the
doc! or to form an accurate opinion and note particulars
which might be lost sigtit of in merecorrespondence,
particularly when a microseopic and chemical analy
sis is absolutely necessary. I'atierts not resid
ing in the city who wish to transact their busiiuss
throiigli the mails or by express can have the neces
sary remedies sent to any address or left at any rail
way station or coach oflice in C)re,r or Washington
Territory until called for, cartfniiy packed and se
curely sealed. Otlice and Ttesidcnee. SI1 First trft,
