Luck In Seal Hunting.

Seal hunting around the island of
Newfoundland is proverbially lottery.
Steamers are fitted for the voyage at
great expense, carrying crews of 2OO or
more men. If successful strike is made
no venture in the world is more profita-
BILE. But there are always as many
blanks as prizes drawn-thls year more
of the former than the latter The steamer
Resolute brought in this spring in two
trips over 40, 900 seals, which at $500
per seal makes the voyage worth $685.
900, beth trips being made inside of six
weeks. The total number of seals brought
in varies from $50, 095 in 1871, to 200, :
500 in 1882. This year it is feared the
take viii not much exceed that of 1882.
The captains who have returned all agree
that there is no lack of seals, but owing
to the closely packed ice they were una
BILE to reach them. One immense patch
of seals was seen by several vessels, but
only one had been able to approach
them. There are cases on record
where vessels have got in CLOSE
to the seals, and the fortune which
seemed to DO within their grasp has been
denied them. One instance Is given this
year, that of the Neptune. This vessel
fell in with a huge herd of seals. which
were lying thick on the ice as far as the
eye could reach 80, 900 at least being
in sight. The crew bounded on the ice,
formed q semi-circle with distance of
five miles between the extremities, and
advanced to the attack. In an hour
they had killed 5000, when fierce
snow-storm set in; the ice began to open
in all directions; the men lost sight of
the ship, many Of them iound themselves
on floating pans of ice in immense lakes
of water. At times, owing to the storm
il was impossible to see twice the length
Of the ship. The men were scattered
over an area of five square miles, and in
great peril. The seals had to be aban-
doned, and all efforts directed TO picking
up the men. So skilfully was this &C
cOmplished that before night closed in
every man was safe on board; next
morning the seals were gone. Had the
day continued fine the Neptune would
have had from 10000 to $4,000 on
board or s'panned. ? Such are the for
tunes of war in eal-hunting. Baston

party Of Buddhist monks from Afghanis-

to Asia after an absence of fOrty-one

The oldest bank note probably in ex-
istence in Europe is one preserved in the
Asiatic museum at st. Petersburg. 1t
dates from the year 1889 b. G. and was
issued by the Chinese government. 1t
can be proved from Chinese chroniclers
that as early as 2697 b. G. bank notes
were current in China under the name of
"fying money" The bank note pre-
served ut st. Petersburg bears the name
of the Imperial Bank, date and number
of issue, signature of mandarin, and
contains even list of the punishments
inflicted for forgery of notes. This relic
of 4, 600 years ago is probably written,

Boys at 4 certain iransit0ry age are
apt 10 be awkward Outdoor exercise
and sports do much ID make them strong
and straight; yet il Is very common
among those who arc growing fast (es-
pecially il they read Of study good
dcal), to find the head thrust forward,
the shoulders round and STOPPING. and i
slouching. ungrnceful carriage. Until
these things are corrected, no boy can be
thoroughly strong and vigorous Biting
the nails is one Of the most annoying
habits, and yet one which almost any boy
will fall into unless his mother ssnips il in
the bud. Not only is it almost unen-
durable for a nervous person to sit in the
room with one Of these nail-biting boys,
but the young mans hands are injured In
appearance, and, il the habit be carried
to excess, they will become almost de-
formed. In these DAYS of professional
manicurcs, mothers ought, at least, to sec
that there are no ragged nails and raw
fingers among their children. A habit Of
snuhing, or Of scraping the throat, OF
tapping the floor with the foot, or the
table with the nuckles, comes on gradu-
ally, but, once fixed is exceedingly diff
cult to overcome. Eternal vigilance
should be mothers watchworll, for the
true secret of curing bad habits is in
never allowing them to be formed The
ounce of prevention" IS worth more than
the '.7ound OF cure. would not take
away anything of boyishness or natural
ness. A real boy is worth half a dozen
fops or dudes. But | do not see why
boys should not be as graceful and we'll
hammered as their sisters; why they can
not sit down ut table without hitting it
and jaring the dishes as well as the tenn
pers of the whole family; why they can
not eat slowly and noiseIessly; why they
cannot cross room without stumbling
against the furniture; or close door
without slamming it; or sit quietly while
reading or listening. 1t should be per-
fectly natural for boy to lift his hat to
his mother or sister when he chances to
meet them on the street; to rise from a
comfortable chair when older persons en-
ter the room; to entertain a visitor when
the rest of the household is occupied.
Do you say it is too much for boy to
think Of all these things9 If the mother
has trained him from babyhood constant
~ and carefully. he will do them without
thinking. Good manners are a growth,
and boyhood is the time, and home the
place, in which they should grow.
