New Seal Fisheries Discovered.

In answer to a letter of inquiry in
regard to a return from the Custom
House at Stonington, Conn the Bu-
reau OF S atistics, IT Washington
has received IRON Mr. Hubbard, Cot
lector of that port, an interesting
statement with regard to a group of
uninhabited islands situated south
and east of Cape Horn, IN latitude
81 to G3 degrees south ; longitude 81
to 63 degrees west, and known as
the New South Shetland Islands.
These islands had not been visited
for about twenty years until within
year or two past, during which
time thousands of sealskins of a very
fine quality, as well as thousands of
gallons of elephant oil, have
been obtained. Mr.. Hubbard ex-
presses the opinion that ii these is
lands were properly surveyed and
their positions were well defined a
very profitable business could be
done there. He says the nature Of
the voyage is such as to require
large crew, being somewhat like
whaling voyage in this respect.
The vessels carry three or four
seal-boats twenty-six or twenty
eight feet in length, each requiring
crew of five or six men. After reach
ing the islands they cruise about the
proup very cautiously, and often
leave a BEATS crew where they find
''rookery' of seals or sea elephants.
These the crew Kill as they deem
proper or hold possession of the
''rogkery" in case Of competition. 1t
sometimes happens that the seals
are not III a proper condition to be
taken, or that not enough have col
Iected to warrant an attack. as the
season is extremely short, not ex-
ceeding six or eight weeks, it Is ne
cessary to have strong gang TO
take advantage OF this kind of bust
ness. The voyage is usually Of about
ten months duration from the time
of leaving port.

Truth in a Household.

Miss Martineau truly observes
that of all happy households that is
the happiest where falsehoCd Is
never thought of. All peace is
broken up when once it appears
there is liar In the house. All
comfort is gone when suspicion has
once entered when there must be
reserve in talk and reservation in
belief. Anxious parents, who are
aware of the pains of suspicion, will
place general confidence in their
children, and receive what they say
freely, unless there is a strong reason
to distrust the truth of any one. II
such an occasion should unhappily
arise, they must keep the suspicion
from spreading as long as possible,
ard avoid dIsgracing their poor
child, while there is any chance of
.his cure by their confidential assis-
tapce. He should have their pity
and assiduOus help, rs if he were
suffering from some disgusting
bodily disorder. II he can be cured,
e will become duly grateful for the
treatment II inc GuO6HNOE 1dlIy
means must, of course, be taken to
prevent his example doing harm.
We fear, that from some cause or
other, there are but few large fami-
lies where every member is alto
geIher truthful. Some, who are not
morally guilty, are intellectually in
capable of accuracy but where all
are so organized ami so trained as
to be wholly reliable in act and
word, they are a light to all eyes
and a Joy to all hearts, They are a
public benefit, for they arc point of
general reliance; and they are
privately blessed within and with
out. Without, their life ii made
easy by universal trust /; and within
then home and their heerts they
have the security of rcctiCude and
the gladness of innocence. II we
invoke Wisdom, she will com e, and
multiply such homes IN our land.

The POstOffice and the Express Com
panies.


By the new postal law which came
into operation on the 1st of July, a
great benefit has been conferred up
on the general pnblic and a severe
blow struck at the monopoly Of the
express companies. According to
the new regulations, packages of dry
goods, hardware, drugs Except
liquid drugs, and other merchan-
disc not exceeding twelve ounces in
weight, can be mailed to any part of
the United States at a charge of two
cents for each two ounces or fraction
of two ounces. Much time and
money will be saved by this arrange
mant. The express companies de-
mand at least forty cents for the
transportation of a package, however
small, for any distance The post
office authorities, on the other hand,
will forward a twelve ounce package
to San Fran cisco for twelve cents.
For instance, u pair of boots, if
neither boot weighs more than the
specified twelve ounces, may be
wrapped up in two separate parcels,
and sent across the continent for
twenty-four cents; whereas, under
the old plan, the transportation of
goods of this description would
have cost almost more money than
they a;e worth.
Up to the present time the post
Office has lost money by the new sys-
tenn, simply owing to tho fact that
the general public has not taken ad-
vantage of it to such an extent as
viii make itremunerative But it is
confidently expected that when the
advantages of the system are thor
oughly appreciated he scheme will
prove as profitable to the Govern
ment as it is beneficial to the public.
It Is, In fact, nothing more nor less
than an adaptation of the English
parcel post, and although the charges
in England are somewhat less than
the rate adopted here, } ct when it is
remembered that the distances are
as nothing compared with those IN
this country, it VIII be seen that
there is no cause for dissatisfaction.

4 StOne-Age Man.

Professor J. S. Newberry lately
exhibited to the members of the
Lyceum of Natural History of this
city a photograph Of the skeleton of
a stone-age man recently discovered
at Mentone, near Nice, by Dr.. Rivire
The remains were found IN the
cavern of Barma, which was partial
ly destroyed by the cutting of the
railway from MentOne to Ventimig-
liza. Formerly its entrance was con
cealed by an immense carOb tree; af-
terward it was Obstructed by lime
Kiln. From time immemOrial the
cave has served as a place of shelter
for Mentonese fishermen, from the
smoke of whose fires the roof has be-
come entire blackened. The skele-
ton lay in an inclined position and
in an attitude of repose. It's legs
were crossed; its arms folded near
the head; its ribs being too weak to
resist the pressure of the earth were
broken, while all the other parts
were complete and entire. The testh
and lower jaw were in perfect pres
ervation, also, the welcomed skull,
which was of deep brick-red color
and of extraordinary size. The
thigh bones, too, were of unusual
length-eighteen inches-and with
the rest of the bones indicate the
subject to have belonged to a large
race. A necklace of perforated teeth
a1d shells was fund, with other or
naments that may have formed q
head dress. In a line around was
a great quantity of flint
tools, some Of the largest size ever
such as knives, punches,
needles, la chefs, and bodkins of
bone of curious workmanship. Near
by lay bones and lower jaws Of her
biverous animals. at the head a
stone was erected, an indlcatian of
interment. All were reached at a
depth of ten feet below the surface
by DR.. Riviere, who has been engag-
ed the pat winter in the excavation
of this grotto, and who has sent a
on the subject to the

Extracting Poison from the Rattle
snake.

The process of extracting the
poison from the attlesnake (cTOtG-
iltS hOr7 idus for medicinal purposes
whilst the reptiles were still living,
has been successfully accomplished
Icy Mr.. J. G. Thompson and DR..
Hayward, of Liverpool. The follow
ing was the moduS operaHdj, if any
of our readers care to do likewise
TIE reptiles were in separate com
partmeuts of large case, fitted
with n double lid for extra
security. A long staff, fitted
at the end, with a thick india
rubber moose which could be loosen
ed or tightened by the hand at pleas
urc, was inserted through the par
TALLY opened lid, and the opportuui-
ty quickly seized of slipping a nooze
loop over the snakes head, the loop
beiug immediately drawn tight by
means Of the cord attached thereto.
With similar con 'rivanca the tail
was next fastened, and the snake, be-
ing thus securely held, was lifted out
Of the box on the floor OF the room.
A pickle bottle containing chloro-
form was then thrust over the snakes
head, and carefully held in it's place
by keeping time TO the animal S ef-
forts to extricate itself. AS the rep
tile became stupefied, the moose was
gradually relaxed to enable the lungs
to have full play, and when it ap-
peared pOwerless, the snake was
laid in long narrow box, made for
the purpose, with an aperture at one
end. out of which it's head projected
while the after operation was per
formed. It's jaws were then opened
and fixed, and the poison glands
were pressed with forceps, then with
the gloved finger and thumb, while
small blown graduated phial was
held to receive the drops as they
slowly oozed out through the poison
fangs. Twenty drops were the aver
age quantity yielded by each snake.
The venom is of 4 straw color, thick
and gummy in consistency, and de-
cidedly acid in its reaction on litmus
paper. 1t IS readily soluble in gly-
cerine or water, but it is precipita-
ted by strong alcohol, the preciri-
tate being redissolved, with the ad-
ditiou of q little water. It's toxico-
logical properties were fully tried
on a variety of animals. H4lf a
drop produced dea.h in a hnnet
within three minutes after being in
jected under the wing.

Life bears us on like the stream of
q mighty river. Our boat at first
glides down the marrow channel
through tie playful murmUrs of the
little brook and the winding of the
grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our young heads; the
flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our young hands; we
are happy In hope, and grasp eager
" at the beauties around US; but the
stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along a deep
er and wider food, and has objects
more striking and magnificent We
are animated at the moving picture
CT enjoyment and industry passing
around us-are excited at some
short-lived disappointment. The
stream bears us oD, and our joys and

may be shipwrecked-we cannot be
delayed; whether rough or smooth,
the river hastens to its home, till the
roar Of the ocean is IN our ears, and
the tossing of the waves beneath our
