About Seal Skins.

When the seals have reached the
killing-ground, they are allowed GER
tain time to rest and cool, after which
about one hundred are driven together
into an inclosure, and the fittest are
selected for slaughter. The others are
allowed to go down to the nearest water,
whence they at once make their way
back to the sea. The instrument OF
destruction Is q long club OF hard wood,
with which the animals are struck a
violent blow on the head.
One Is usually sufficient. A long,
sharp knife is then thrust into the vitals,
and the carcass laid aside; and so on
until about one thousand have been
slain, when the work OF skinning CON-
mepces. When taken off, the skins are
salted, and sent home in that condition.
On arrival here, they are properly
cured; and then comes the prepara-
tion needed for their conversion into
what is popularly called ''seal-skin."
1t is difficult to conceive how that
beautiful article of dress can ever
DC manufactured out Of the very un-
attractive object the skin presents at
this juncture. 1t is hard and unyielding
as a board, and the stiff, coarse hairs
cover the FUR so completely that its very
existence might be unsuspected. In the
trade full-aged male is called s'wIg;"
female, 'sclap-match; males not quite
SO old, "bulls| the half-grown of both
sexes, "yearlingsV the young OF nearly
a year old, ''gray" or ''silvered pups,n
and before their coats are changed to
this shade, "black pups" The problem
to be solved is how to separate the
under-fur. For many years each
individual hair was plucked out sever
ally, at, of course, q vast expenditure of
time and money, until lucky accident
revealed to the dressers the fact that
the roots OF the hair were more deeply
seated than those OF the iur. Now, there
fore, alter preliminary preparation, the
skins are laid, hair downward, upon q
wooden block with curved surface, and
pared down with knife until the
roots of the hair have been cut
through, and the skin is very little
thicker than kid glove. All the
coarser hair can then be brushed off with
the hand, leaving the fur, which is then
seen to be arranged in small curls, OF a
light brown color, varying slightly in
shade in the different parts. In conse-
quence, nearly all "seal-skin" is dyed
before it is sold, and in the process of
dyeing the curls untwist themselves, and
the fur becomes smooth and ready for
use. The profits made in dealing in furs
must be worth having.
The value of each skin that leaves the
Prybiloy Islands, now our main source
OF furs, is trifing. The Government Of
the United States imposes, it is true,
revenue tax Of " skin, to which must
be added the cost OF the maintenance of
an establishment in SO remote spot; i;
but even after all allowances have been
made for this and other expenses in Eli
rope, the price demanded for a jacket
must still be regarded as extravagant.

Divorce ana Breach Of promise,

The breach Of promise suit has ap-
but here seems to be truly novel case.
A man and his wife who lived In Brook
lyn were divorced in 1864. They
managed to get along without each other
for ten years, but in 1874 decided to try
again. They had the decree Of divorce
modified to permit their union, and then
for some reason the man changed his
mind and concluded he would not marry
her. Now she sues for damages, and
Mrs. Saulspaugh appears in court charg-
ing Mr.. Saulspaugh with breach OF prom
Use of marriage. The wife sues the hus-
band, whose name she bears, for falling
to marry her. This is about as queer an
antic as the law of divorce has ever cut.

a lovely and Romantic spot.

A number of the wealthy residents of
St. Paul and Minneapolis are erecting
cottages along the shores OF, and upon
the islands in, Lake Minnetonka. This
is one of the leveliest spots In the United
States, and the lake is one of the most
remarkable bodies of water in the world.
1t has shore line OF thousand miles,
yet it is nowhere more than two miles in
width. The old world contains nothing
equal to it, nor does the new have any
thing surprising 1t. Large numbers OF
people visit this lake every season, every
State in the Union being represented.
