we have probably discounted
the change. $3.50 to $l1

We "spongeo pongees with

fers. Sponging takes out a
little of the stiffness of the
silk, but improves rather than
hurts the lustre but, of course,
the object of sponging is to

DE CMAMBORD.

De Chambord dies hard. He is making
. gallant fight for life. He is sensible
and knows that the end is not far of.
There is something pathetic in the life of
this old man, who saw the Crown of
France almost within his grasp, and yet
had not the power to place it on his head.
Few men could have borne so well the
misfortune. If it might so be called. The
only consolation he has had for years is
the stanchness Of his little coterie Of
friends at Frohsdorff, where the Count
has held . mock court, and where his
followers considered it . pleasure to bask
in the sunshine Of his smiles.

The Dead.

Most everybody is dead, says Bill
Arp, that is, all the old folks. There
are mighty few left of the old stock
that used to move around so lively and
take the lead in business and public
affairs. Some of us are getting lone
some now. The ranks keep filling up,
but we don't know the new recruits.
Old Father Time is a conscript officer
and he won't take any substitutes mol
give anybody a bomb-proof place.
There are no quartermastere nor COM
missarles nor potash getters in this
war, but it is fight, fight, fight all the
time. Fight as they did at Thermopyla
where there were only 800 against
,0OO, 900, and there was no possible
escape. Sooner or later all of us have
to go. We can't desert nor dodge nor
play sick nor shoot finger off, and
there are no furloughs and no pensions
and no discharge. There is not even
a promotion for good conduct or noble
daring. There is nothing but to do and
die. Well, it's all right 1 know or it
wouldn't have been so. but it grieves
me to hear the bell toiling all about and
to see the old stock passing away.

step briskly to the stand. Having an

''How long have you lived in Norwich,

An interesting incident, illustrating
the maternal affection of an animal for
its young, was brought to notice during
the visit of an excursion party to Ana
capa Island. A young seal pup only a
few months old was brought away from
the island by little Ernest Whitehead,
who desired to take it home for pet
The little animal was secured by rope
around one of its fins and tied within a
small yawl belonging to the sloop.
Shortly before sailing large seal was
noticed swimming around the sloop an
chored off the cave where the capture
was made, uttering loud barks and at
times bowling piteously. particular
attention was paid to the animal at the
time or to the little captive, which at
times barked in response to the old
dams plants. The boat sailed away
making for the Ventura shore. When
off San Buenaventura calm in the
wind decreased the speed Of the boat,
when a large seal was noticed near by.
On reaching the wharf at Santa Bar
bara at two O'Clock next morning seal
was again discovered swimming about
the boat. 1t was not supposed that this
was the mother of the captive or out of
pity for its misery the pup would have
been thrown overheard. To better
secure the pup until daylight the rope
was taken from its fin and it was tied
up in a jute sack and left loose on the
deck. Soon after coming to anchor the
seal responded to its mothers invitation
by casting itself overheard all tied up as
it was within sack. 1t is asserted by
the man on Geek that the seal mother
seized the sack and with her sharp teeth
tore open the prison of her offspring
This, however, is mere conjecture.
If it did the little pup was saved other
wise it would drown tied up in the
sack.
The incident was the more interest
ing from the fact that the old seal had
to follow the sloop at least eighty miles
over the ocean in a hopeful endeavor to
rescue its young.
