Destruction of Seals.

From the Saturday Review.
When the Southern Ocean was first open
ed to British enterprise by the discoveries Of
Capt Cook, it teemed with animal life. Flu
seals and hair seals abounded on the coasts
of Australia and New Zealand. They were
at once set upon and killed, the slaughter
being conducted without regard to sex or
season. The result was the total extirpa-
ton of several species. "One might as soon
expect to meet sea- lion on London bridge
as on any one of the islands in Bass's
Strait, " was the reply of q New Zealand
naturalist to an inquiry about the ea-life
that early voyagers had observed. The
same result has happened at the Falkland
Islands, at Cape Horn, and on the Pacific
sea- board of South America. A vessel
called the Betsy took ,0O0, 900 skins from
the Island of Masafuera at the beginning of
the century, an exploit which left no sur
vivors for future Adventures; and the Is
land of Juan Fernandez, where, in Anson's
time, there were seals in abundance. has
now only few stagglers to show. The
same thing happened at the South Shet-
lands. In 1922 British sealers took away
100000 skins for tho two years, killing
males and females Unfortunately, leaving
the young to die, The fate Of the sperm
whale might furnish useful lesson in the
same d reotion. 1t was once abundant in the
Southern Ocean, but is now all but extinct,
from the very same causes that we have
pointed out above in the case of the SEALS
The American whalers observed its matern-
al affection, and found it easier to kill q
mother and her cub together than mother
alone. A few years Of this policy, added
to the use of steamers aimed with projec-
tiles of GINNING continuance, and the fish.
cry had to be given up as no longer profit
able.

Negro AristOcrats.

In study of an old southern borough"
in the Atlantic Monthly we find the fol-
lowing: In the newer towns and the
larger cities, the negroes have by this time
forgotten their old masters and their old
homes, or do not care for them. But in
an old burough there are always some who
have passed their whole lives there. Thele
they were slaves and there they have lived
| since their emancipation. Their old mas
tiers they always address as ''old marser,
and his sons as MARS James," or Mars
Thomas" or what ever their christian
name may be. At their old home they feel
that they enjoy no slight privilege, and
even that they have sort of right to
on we'll These old negroes have sort of
contempt for those who have no such old
attachment 1t is common phrase
among them, in speaking of negro who
did not belong to an aristocratic family:
dat niger amt got no manners, neber
had no raisin'-poor folks Niger" Some
times these old negro men preserve the
lordly manner of their masters. Their ne
gro dialect does not seem to detract from
their gentility and they are noticeable as
men of particularly fine manners.
A Virginia lady in Louisville had en-
ployed a genteel old negro man to nurse
her son, who was suffering with broken
limb. She noticed at once the dignifed
bearing of the old negro; and one day she
asked him, Uncle Ned, where were you
reared?"
"In old Virginny, madam, with polite
bow.
Il ANA Virginian myself" she continued.
From what part of de state, madam
From Fairfax Uncle Ned. My maiden
name was Morson."
Il knowed dat we was related, madam.

Poultry The Selection of Eggs.


AS the best time for setting hens has ar
arrived, deem few words on the above
subject appropriate.
Among almost every lot of hens, it may
be observed, that some are better layers
than others. Now, if you desire to raise
chickens for laying purposes only, you
should carefully obtain the eggs which
have been produced bygood layers, and
place them under any setting hen. The
hens thus obtained will be equally as good
layers as those were which produced the
eggs. Many people are unable to tell
whether an egg will hatch rooster OF
hen chicken. Such persons, 1 am in
formed, can find an almost infallible rule
to be guided by, in the shape of an egg. If
it is desired that females should be pre-
dominate, select such eggs as are
mostly rounding, being careful to avoid
those that are very oblong. If cocks are
desired, select and set such eggs as are
most oblongated.
Eggs intended for setting should be
gathered every night and placed where they
will neither be chilled nor heated. Care
should be used in handling the eggs. Those
that are much jolted should be avoided in
setting.
Thirteen or fifteen eggs are enough fol
almost any hen to sit on. If chicken lice
are feared, it might be well to place some
tobacco stems in the nest. After the hen
has Matched throw away the old straw and
refill the nest with clean straw, after hav-
ing washed the nest.
Place clean straw in the coops "a few
ashes might be sprinkled on it) for the hen
and little chicks to sit on. Do not permit
the grass to grow to any height around the
coops. or you will have to keep them cooped
up until the dew disappears or loose some
of them by their becoming drahbled

Should We Marry Where We Do Not
Love!

From Harper's Bazaar.
Idly read the old familiar score,
Wistful touch the sweet responsive keys;
l feel the breath of days that are no more,
hear the night winds whisper in the trees.
This yellowing sheet in every bar and line
Reminds of happiness that once was mine.
Each note recalls roseate vanished hour
So full of pleasure that its ghost is pain;
Each weird repeat is perfumed like a flower,
That pressed whitman albums page had lain.
Were to sing, melting baritone,
A voice superb, would surely join my own.
All let me try. The strain is meant for two
never practiced it alone before
The witching melody that was not new
When courtly couples trod the polished floor
In grandma's youth the soft arpeggio
Evoked for her the bloom Of long ago.
Alas. the quick tears blur the words to-day
had not thought myself 30 very weak.
What! grieving for friend who did not say
81 love you," though he saw on brow and
cheek
Shy tokens of secret unconfessed.
tenderness often fear he guessed.
IT'S passing strange what little things may start
A sleepy world to vivid waking life
Within the soul what titles send dart
To pierce wound concealed; what sudden
strife
OF yearning, anger and intense self scorn
May of drifting random thought be born.
I'll fling the letters Of this mood aside
Last eve answered yes to one who sought
In manly fashion for his chosen bride;
And though my heart to love must yet be
taught,
I'll keep his troth when shall wear his ring;
But this old song for him I'll never sing.

dressy suit for girl this spring, the pic
turesque beauty of such head coverings
can well be imagined.
The prevailing style for carpets is one
resembling the Persian rugs, in which rich
coloring is blended with dark and neutral
tints so as to give q subdued and harmon
lous effect. The figures are small and in no
wise glaring and geometrical. Curtains or
shades OF holland are in various tints, with
q bar Of gilded work near the bottom of the
shade. For drapery curtains there is
great variety of material-scrym, muslin
and lace. Harmony Of tint is sought in the
furnishing of all rooms. Some carry it so
far as to have the china of the dining table
correspond in the color of it's decoration
with the prevailing color of the room.
Bright bits of color are introduced in en-
broidered chair cushions, lambrequins for
the mantlepiece and other needlework.
1t appears, from various experiments with
the oil lubricants now in use, that a mineral
oil which flashes at less than 800 degrees
Fahr does not possess the best qualities
for fabrication, and is unsafe in proportion
to the lesser degree at which it flashes
mineral oil evaporating more than five per
cent. in ten hours, at heat of 140 degrees
Fair. lis found to be hazardous in proportion
to the increased percentage of volatile matter
and is also more unfit to be used as lubri-
cant the more rapidly it evaporates- because
the remainder will either become thick and
viscous, requiring high heat in the bearing
to make it operate at all, or, if the oil does
not contain such residuum liable to be-
come thick and heavy,it will leave the bear
ing dry.
