ANOTHER ALASKA.


Now Sealing Grounds soutD, Of Cape
Horn.
In answer to letter of inquiry in
regard to a recent return from the Gus
tom House at Stonington. Conn.,, the
Bureau of Statistics has received from
Mr.. Hubbard, collector of that port,
an interesting group Of uninhnbitcd
islands situated south and east of Cape
Horn, in latitude 81 to 63 degrees
south longitude, 81 to G3 degrees west,
and known "a 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
very fine quality, as we'll as thousands
of gallons of sea elephants oil have
been obtained. Mr.. Hubbard express
es the opinion that if these islands
were properly surveyed and their posi-
tions we'll defined, very profitable
business could be done The nature Of
tho voyage Is such as to require o large
crew, being somewhat like whaling
voyage in this respect. The vessels
carry three or four eeal boats. twenty.
six or tweuty-eight feet in length, each
requiring crew of five or six men. AT
ter reaching the islands, they cruise
about the group very cautiously, and
often leave q boats crew where they
find "rookery" of seals or sea Gle
plants. These the crew kill as they
deem proper or hold possession of thu
"rookery in case of competition. L
sometimes happens that the seals arr
not in proper condition to be taken
or that not enough have collected tt
warrant an attack. As the season il
extremely short, not exceeding six o.
eight weeks, it. is necessary to have {
strong gang to take advantage Of thi
kind of business. The voyage is usual
| ~ of about ten months duration from
the time of leaving port.

Emily Faithful and Her Work.


Miss Emily Faithful, who will soon visit
America for the purpose of furth cring the
philanthropic objecte with which she has
long been pro minently identified in Eng
land is tho daughter Of the Rev. Ferdi-
nand Faithful, and was born at Headly
kectory, Surrey, in 1885. She was edu-
Gated ut IN excellent school in Kensington,
where she displayed not only remarkable
intellectual ability, but that firmness and
independence of character for which she
has since been noted. She was presented
at Court when twent one years Of age,
and for sometime afterward entered into
all the gayeties of the best London society
but becoming interested in the condition Of
her own sex she abandoned PLEASURE
seeking and devoted herself exclusively to
the advancement Of women. Believing
that this advancement would be most
easily and permanently 'seoured by en]arg-
ing the sphere of female labor, she found.

Irish Wit-Ireland's Heart Not Yet
Broken.

The London Daily News says book of
" modern" Irish anecdotes has yet to be
written. There is not town or city in
the leland without its budget of contom.
p orary witticisms, applicable not only to
local, but to national occurrences. Cork
would be famous district to beat up for
this purpose 1t still retains number of
wits in whom tho faculty racy of the soil
has not become impaired or dagensrated.
And throug hout the rural parishes a
wealth of novel and modern stories might
he picked up by the skilled chiffoner who
would give HE mind to the task. 1t is a
mistake to accept the account of the
national Journalists that the heart Of Ire
land il broken. The heart Of Ireland Leafs
healthily and heartily enough under an
improved commercial prosperity, and
although there may be an absence Of that
unrestrained joviality typifed by Mr.
Boucicault or Mr.. Edmund Falconer, the
people of all classes in tho country remain
as hospitable and as bright-humored as
ever they were in the days of Buck Whal-
ley or Bully Egan. The Bar of ireland
does noe engage in prolonged word com.
bats With the bench, hard drinking is less
frequent, and picturesque poverty and
raggedness is not common enough out of
Connemara or Gweedorc to pay the ex.
penses of any enterprising artist on tour

The SKEPTIoAL CONvINCED.-Every

Almost q Fairy Tale Revived.

The Hudson Register gives the account
Of - couple Of lost children, which sounds
like the Babes in the Woods" which
our little folks love to read Of. and to hear
the story told them, when the twilight
deepens una the shadows lengthvn on the
walls:
A worry touching story, similar 10 the
old tale Of "The Babes in the Woods"
comes to us from Green River, in the town
Of llillsdnle. A few days since three
children Of John Foley, residing on the
mountain East Of that place, aged respec.
lively four, six, and eight, become lost in
tho mountain woods. Tho first was little
girl, the other two were boys. They went
cut to play near the house and strayed
away after huckleberries into the woods
The mother missed them, and blew her
dinner horn all around for mile near the
house, but could got no answer. THAI
night it rainsd very hard. Tho next day
word was sent to the village Of Green
River by the frantic mother, and all the
people turned out and went in search Of
tho children. Every man was fitted out
with bread, meat, and stimulants in case
they should find them. All was q vast
wilderness for miles around, 30 the mrn
went in different directions.
Fears were entertained that the children
might be attacked by wild beasts, Us Mr..
Charles Jones, while hunting ON this
mountain, had discovered three wild cats,
which escaped before be could ret near
enough to shoot tbem. The mother stood
in the door wringing and twisting her
hands, encouraging the huaters to be val.
liant, for she said they were barefooted
and bareheaded,, and would soon :starve
they were never away from home before,
and the nearest house was about three OF
four miles distant, and even to this thew
had never been.
About three O'Clock titles SOD vf Mr.
lngsrsoll, while hunting in the woods 70,
lost cattle. discovered the three little
creatures huddled together under 4 tref
and covered with le.vs, They nut ur
their hands and began to cry when tbejj
discovered tho boy lngersoli. He LED
them along to tho open fsid, ard 90 ON t
tho house, and the joy Of the mother ms,
we'll be imagined. She ran to meet then;
screaming and crying, and, catching th,
first one in her arms, hngging that for
moment, then letting it down and takin,
another one and pressed that to her hear,
and 60 on for nearly an hour before Oh
became calmed. By this time all tn
hunters had returned from the search, an
they, too, had to kiss and hold the children
and unbidden tears came to tho eyes q
great stalwart men who had never know
t:ars since their childhood.
One Of the men took tho little girl in hi
lap, and asked her if che had slept an,
She replird, laughing:
Yes; l put on Johnny's cap, and p,
my feet ON Pat, and the rain "a me riggl
down on me-"
When found they were wet to the Ski,
and would most likely have died in Ii
course Of another day if they had n,
cen found. They say they heard the
mothers dinner horn that night, but do,
DO. leave tho tree that they were und,
for fear Of getting further away.

Mosquitoes.

The poets have sung, and The scientists
have been puzzled, and the New Jersey
people have exhausted their best-read
savents upon the mosquito question.
But tho Minneapolis Tribune gives the
origin Of the dear, darling little buzsing
insects in the following:
The Red River Indians have a legend
respecting tho origin Of mosquitoes. They
say that once upon time there was & .
famine, and the Indians could get no
game: Hundreds had died from hunger,
and desolation filed their country. All
kinds Of offerings were made to the Great
Spirit without avail. till one day two hunt.
ers came upon white wolverines very
rare animal. Upon shooting the white
Wolverine, an old woman sprang out Of the
skin, and saying she was q Manito,"
promised to 60 and live with the Indians,
promised them plenty Of game a. long as
they treated her well, aud gave her the
first choice of all the game that should be
brought in.
Tho two Indians assented to this, and
took the old woman home with them
which event was Immediately followed by
an abundance of game. When the sharp
ness Of famine had passed, the Indians
became dainty in their appstites, and com
planned Of the manner in which tho old
woman took to herself all tho choice bits !;
and this feeling became 20 intense that,
notwithstanding her warnings thst if they
ylola.ed their promises terrible O .lamity
would co.ae upon the Indians, they enc
day killed her ~ she seized upon her
share ola fat rsindeer which the hunters
had brought in.
Great CONSERVATION Immediately struck
the witnesses Of The deed, and the Indians
to escape the predicted calamity, boldly
struck their tents and moved away to =
great distance.
Time paesed on without any catastrophe
occurring, and the game becoming even
more plentiful, tho Indians again began to
laugh at their being deceived by the old
woman. Finally bunting party on I.
long chase of raindeer, which had led
thsm buck to the spot whore the old
woman was killed came upon her skele-
ton, and ono of theu in derision, kicked
the skull with bis foot. In an instant q
small spirsl.like body arose from tho eyes
and ears or the skull, which proved to be
insaats. They attacked the hunters with
great fury, and drove them to the river
for protection. The skull continued to
pour out it, little stream, and the air be-
came full of avengers Of tho old woman's
death. The hunters upon returning to
camp found all the Indians suffering terri
bly, from the plague, and ever since that
time tho Red men have been punished by
tho mosqitoes for their wickedness to
their prcserver, tho Mantle.
