SEALS AND SEA-LI0NS.
The Seal Life of the Alaska Waters.
San Francisco Bulletin.


San Francisco Bulletin.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Sloss,
of the Alaska Commercial company.
we have been able to examine Prof.
Henry w. Elliott's observations on
the life history of the seal and sea-lion
of Alaskan waters. Prof. Elliott tells
us thai the fur-seals which repair to
the islands of St. Paul and ST. George,
of the Pribylov group, are in numbers
shed fur and hair and TO breed. The
seal life of that region is classified
under the head Of fur-seal, sea-lion,
the hair-seal and the walrus. Of the
true fur-seal, the professor goes so far
as to say that there is no other animal
known to man superior to this from a
purely physical point of.view, and few
creatures exhibit so high an order of
instinct, approaching even to intelli-
gence. A male is in his prime at six
or seven years, measures 81 to z! feet
in length, and weighs at least 400
pounds, some reaching 600 pounds.
The comparatively small head is al
most all occupied by the brain, the
large, blush hazel eyes alternately
burn with reyengeful, passionate light,
then suddenly change to the tones of
tenderness and good nature. When
it seeks the land it IS IN its latest con-
dition. In from six weeks to three
months the superhuous fat Is consum-
ed by self absorption, and the homes
show under the shrunken skin. 1t
does not seek the place of its birth,
but aims for laid without regard to
special location. The seal-weather is
'ithe foggy, hunid, oozy damp of
summer" and about the 1st of June
the males select their positions, after
tie most extraordinarily brutal con-
tests which man can witless. The fe-
males arrive few weeks later. The
body is covered with two coats, the
short, crisp overhair concealing the
soft, elastic fur In contrast with that
of the males the behavior of the fe-
males is described as of exceeding
peace and dove-llke amiability." The
females are four to four and half
feet long. and more shapely than the
males. They do not have protracted
fasts like the males, and have no great
masses of blubber to sustain fasting.
Soon after they give birth they leave
t.eir young on the ground and go to
sea for food, returning perhaps next,
or not for several days, in the mean
time speeding to distant fishing banks
to sstiate their hunger. The head and
eye are exceedingly beautiful; the ex-
preston is really attractive, gentle and
intelligent. The large, lustrous, blue
black eyes are humid ard soft with
the tenderest expression, while the
small. wcIl-formed head is poised as
gracefully sn her neck as can well be
imagined. She IS the very picture of
benignity and satisfaction when she
is perched upon some convenient rock
and has an opportunity ID quietly fan
herself, the eyes half closed, and the
head thrown back on her gently-swell
ing shoulders. Prof Elliott declares
that he never saw any driving of the

Reported Dead at Andersonyille.
Waterbury Comm American.

The following story is told of one
of the bravest soldiers of the old 9Th
Connecticut volunteers, named Sam
uel Walker After a service of two
years, so the story runs, Walker was
taken prisoner by the confederates,
and as he did not return with his reg
iment, it was believed that he died at
Andersonville. In the catalogue of
Connecticut volunteers he is so re-
ported. No one in these parts ever
heard of him afterward. What was
the surprise of Walkers old comrades
of the 9th regiment, then, when he
turned up in Hartford alive but by no
means we'll on Buckingham day.
Walker, it appears, escaped from his
prison few weeks previous to the sur
render at Appomattox. He kept to
the mountains, and, after undergoing
terrible privations, reached Nashville,
Tenn, after the war had ended. He
was taken very sick, and fingered for
months. Finally recovering, he went
to Kansas, and has lived there ever
since. For some reason he never
claimed his back pay, bounty or COM
mutation of rations. There is con-
siderable sum due him, and he came
on here Buckingham day to procure
evidence to establish his identity so
that he can get his due and also pros
ecute claim for pension, to which
he is entitled, as ke is completely
broken down, the result of lis long
confinement and hardships.

in the cavity, or, in other words, the
brain moves about in this cavity to a
limited extent. 1t is therefore suggest
ed that the rapid succession of losses
which the brain receives when one is
travelling on railroad or bsat, causes
sort of fatigue of brain with sensa-
ton of nausea and dizziness, Hue to the
bobblng about of the BRAN. 1t is
furthermore suggested that the fatigue
and head aches caused by carriage
riding are due to the same cause. The
brain Is more sensitive sometimes
than others-more sensitive when
it is sick. There are some forms of
headache, for instance in which the
slightest jar to the body produces an
aggravatieR of pain doubtless because
the brain is so irritable as to be affect
ed by the slightest movement. 1t is
therefore probable that when the brain
is in a sensitive condition, the disease
is really made worse by the jostllng
of travelling. On this account there
are cases of nervous disease which,
while they might be benefited in
some ways by change of residesce,
would really be aggravated by the
movement incident 10 travelling. So
sea-sickness is not always good
thing for you, as friends often say to
those about to travel.

The Decline of Beauty.
Popular Science Monthly.

Art, to reach its full development,
requires around the artist and within
him a cultivation of beauty of which
the Greeks have given an example.
This people had, for purity of form,
for the harmonious proportion of the
limbs, and for beautiful nudities, a
love that went to the verge of adora-
ton; and beauty was, in their eyes,
invested with something sacred. This
worship of beauty was revived at the
renaissance. In our days, on the other
hand, strength and beauty of body
are not the ideal. Many things seem
to show that a too exclusive preoccu-
patton with pleasing FERNS, as well as
with ornaments and decorations, are
a sign by which we can recognize
primitive conditions of civilization.
With those modern people who are
still in an inferior grade OF civiliza-
ton, as with the Arabs, the male sex
itself displays much coquetry, and
seeks to please especially with its
strength and physical beauty, its yes
ture, and its adornments. Civilization
gradually destroys these primitive in
stincts, which have been, however,
according to Mr.. Darwin and Mr..
Spencer. the germ of art. The man
of our day does not care whether he
has, under the convenient and un-
graceful vestments that hide him, a
well-developed torso and vigorous
muscles.
Coquetry survives and will doubt
less continue to survive with women,
but it too often tends to stray from It's
purpose, which is to bring out the
beauty of its members. Women, who
ought, more than all other persons, to
endeavor to preserve pure and correct
forms, take thousand devices to him
der the development of their bodies
and the circulation of their blood. So,
not only the ancient culture. bat
beauty itself, seems to be falling into
decadence, ana the principal objects

The Jews In Russia.
Boston Advertiser.

There can be no question that the
Jews have hard time of it in Russia.
The miserable scenes which have just
been enacted at Novgorod are only a
repetition of what has repeatedly
taken place during the past two or
three years in various parts of the
cars dominions. The Russian law
itself teaches the people to look with
contempt and hostility upon the Jews.
Under that law, the avocations open
to the Jew are strongly restricted. He
can not be lawyer or a doctor, or
even a merchant in the ordinary
sense He is forever forbidden to
hope for anything like social rank
or political preferment. If he
would live, he must stick to usury
and the smaller trades. He stands,
moreover, in perpetual peril of in
suit, outrage, and even death. His
appeal for justice IN the courts and
for protection from the state is often
little needed. The orthodox Russian,
however. seeks the aid and converse
of the Jew, when, as often happens,
he is in need of funds. All over east
ern and southern Russia the Jews
have been for many years absorbing
the land and other properties of the
small boyard and the agricultural
class, forecl Lsing mortgages and
grasping pledged effects. The natural
issue is the ever recurring persecution
which the government is not always
prompt to check.

RELICS OF THE PAST.
What Was Found Within the Corner.
Stone of the st. Nicholas Hotel.
New York Herald.

The cornerstone of the st. Nicholas
hotel was laid on Sept. "a, 1851. In
it were deposited, as is the custom, a
number of interesting documents.
Peculiar interest was attached to the
building of this hotel. because its
owner, Mr. D. Henry Haight, who
was member of the st. Nicholas
society of this city, called it the St.
Nicholas in honor of that veteran or
ganization, which, in recognition of
the compliment, participated In the
ceremony attending the laying of the
the corner stone. The little box con-
tanning the records of the past was
opened by Mr., Urian Welch yester-
day afternoon. The first document
taken suit was an engrossed copy of
resolutions passed by the st. Nlcho-
las society on the 18th of September,
1851, which narrate the honor conferr-
ed upon the society by the proprietor
of the new hotel, and direct that sun
dry and divers addresses delivered
during the years 1S47 to 1850, in-
elusive. by J. De Puyster Ogden, @.

tions and deposited in the box. These

dent; Jacob Anthony, William II.
johnson, secretary; L. Jones, A. j..
Van Wagner, John G.. Adams, M.
D., and Richard E. Mount, Jr,, assis-
tant secretary.
There was also deposited Mr..
Haight's certificate of membership in
the society, dated the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1888. and signed by Messrs. Og-
den and Swords, president and secre-
tary. A mustysmelling copy of the
New York Herald, of September, "a,
1851, was next taken out. The price
of the Herald was two cents. On the
first page, among the amusement ad-
vertisements, 1t is announced that
Edwin Forrest will play King Lear
in the Broadway theater, of which
Mr.. E. A. Marshall was manager;
that the Raval family could be seen
in the pantomime in Niblo's garden,
under the management of John Sef-
ton, and that Charlotte Cushman
was playing in ''Romeo and Juliet,
in,Breugham'sL yceum; that Catherine

Christy could be seen in Chrlsty

From the same Journal it would
appear that the steamship Washing
ton had arrived from Liverpool with
-four days later news from Europe, .
and that traces of Sir John Franklin

ing sentence, "WalI street affairs

The Courier and Enquirer of that
date, a massive concern filled with
interesting advertisements pertaining
to trade and commerce, was also in
the box, as were number of pam
phlets referring to the history of New
York in general and the st. Nicholas
society in particular. The st. Nicho
las hotel was a CONSPICUOUS feature on

those documents which rested for q
generation beneath its ponderous
| pile, it is thing of the past.

st. James Gazette.

Woman, owing to her proposed en-
reimbursement, occupies at the present
moment considerable share of pub
lie attention. and all that relates to her
is OF especial interest. Man, although
he has had the pleasure of her ac-
quaintance for nearly six thousand
years, is, or processes to be, entirely
ignorant as to her political tempera-
ment, and apparently knows very lit
tie about her beyond the fact that she
was originally produced from one of
Adams ribs. Some interesting obser-
vations on this point were made by
Jean Raulin in the beginning of the
sixteenth century. ''Obserye the
result, he preached; man, composed
of clay, is silent and ponderous; but
woman gives evidence of her osseous
origin by the rattle she keeps up.
Move a sack of earth and it makes no
noise; touch bag of bones and you
are deafened with the clitter-clatter. :"
Woman, however, was not without
an advocate of her rights In those
days. The following remarks made
on the 'Excellency of Woman, !"
written by Cornelius Henry Agrippa
In 1909, arc such as might have been
uttered by Mr.. John Stuart Mill:
Unjust laws" he says, do their
worst to repress women; custom and
education combine to make them
nonentities. From her childhood a
girl is brought up in idleness at home,
and confined to needle and thread for
sole employment When she reaches
manageable years she has this alter
native-the jealousy of the husband
or the custody of a convent All
public duties, all legal functions, all
active ministrations of religion are
closed against her" Agrippa looked
upon women as the practical sex

night, nor of many following days

During the days of convalescence

she was going away. l told her all,
and asked her to stay with me always:
The next week we were married; and

A strange ending to all of Paul
Eastman's early hopes; a strange
awakening from his young dreams:
From Grace, the beautiful and gifted
Grace, purified by suffering, whose
sanity life was a holy memory in the
hearts of all who loved her, to cold,
stern, practical Jane Hope, the faith

more, how great the change!

his house clean; make his Cruel and

women viii ever get into parliament
remains to be seen; but that Eve
would have found some difficulty In
entering the house as at present con-
structed is beyond doubt, if any re-
lance is to be placed on a calculation
made of her size by the French Orien-
talist Henrien, member of the Acaa-
envy. In table given by him of the
relative heights of several eminent
historical personages, he puts that of
our grSat mother at lis feet 9.75
inches The dwindling of woman's
stature is probably owing to her
wrongs. When she obtains her rights
she will perhaps regain her former
somewhat formidable proportions.
