long-drawn work and worry
of tedious "a.
The year has been pecu-

look for it.
To begin with, there was
no sign of extraordinary

the pace of general trade

some at . rate little short of
the comical.
Having sold we bought as
freely, and gained a season.
We sold what belonged to the
hurrying winter, and bought
what belonged to the coming
spring. The hardness, of
selling made buying easy;
and again we sold in a way
to keep trade moving. Sum.
mer found us with trade en-
Iarged though profits d.
minished.
Again we had our choice.
to go on or slacken pace.
The times were still more
critical. Merchants were
falling goods were falling;
buyers of all sorts TAX

ing less, though at advanta-
geous prices. Again we
overran Europe. But the
sword of Damocles was
hanging over us. We
bought with caution and
made your money go as far
as we could.
H0nr money we say adj
visedly. Your money at
last has paid the bills.
We need not go over the
tale of the last half year.
In the midst of your Christ
mas revel you scarcely care
to stop to weigh our share in
bringing about the present
abundance. But what we
have done is SO apart from

that we are disposed to think
It over; and, because our

because We look to you for

Faith in a chronological Chart.

He pays his dollar, or two or three,
or five in a dazed way, and with an en-
phatic feeling that he never got SO much
for so little money before. His mind
dwells on that chart all the way home,
and the way he will surprise everybody
who thought they knew him and didn't.
For, be it known, that though he doubts
his own knowledge Of himself and the
verdict of his father and mother and all
the neighbors, he never doubts phren-
ology nor the perfect honesty Of its
apostle, whom he just patronized. He
will doubt that the earth doth move,
doubt that the stars are fire, doubt
truth and all the virtues, but he never
doubts that the man who filled out his
chart can read heads as clear as he can
read signs on lamp-posts. In years to
come he will look over that chart-it
will become a habit to look over it and
talk about it and he will ever believe
in it. To be sure he travelled different
road from that which the chart said he
was adapted to illuminate; he has not
achieved the measure of greatness
| which phrenology assured him he
should; but that does not shake his
faith in his favorite science. Circum-
stances, not phrenology are to blame
for his falling short of his chart. In his
inmost soul, to his dying day, he be-
lieves in that awful map, that repre-
sents him as he would have been if be
had not been handicapped by fate

Seals in an Iceberg.

Capt. Laarsen, of the Norwegian
bark Firga, which is now at the Noble
street wharf, discharging her cargo, told
the following story Of his trip to this
port to PHILADELPHIA Times reporter:
1--WE were in latitude so degrees north,
and longitude As degrees west, within
perhaps three hundred miles of the
eastern coast of Newfoundland when
we sighted an iceberg. The weather
had been foggy and we had been creep
ing along with short canvas. Suddenly
a mountain of ice doomed up and we
drifted toward it. The iceberg was as
clear as crystal, with the exception of a
great dark mass in its center, fathOm
or so above the waters edge. From a
cleft in the side of the berg slender
column of vapor assembled. I at once
directed my binocular glasses upon the
crystal mass, and discovered that the
lack blotch in the center was moving.
soon it could plainly be seen with the
:aked eye, and my men became greatly
xcited. In half an hour we were near
Tough to get at the truth, and you may
:arcely credit it, but that iceberg was
asst swarming with seals. There must
nave been $4,000 worth of scalskins in
that berg. The vapor that came from
the top Of the iceberg was caused by
their breathing. Without exaggera-
ton, / think there was between two
and three hundred seals there. The
berg was evidently hollow, and the
water we could Sc the seals plunge
into now and then was the ocean. The
wall of ice that separated us from the
seals appeared to be but few feet
thick, and I think it had only been
there short time. Very likely it
formed after the seals were there, for it
is not probable that they would have
come up in such numbers from below
and voluntarily made place like that
their home. They no doubt gathered
there from different parts of big foe
and had been floating around for
months unable to change their quarters.
After sailing around the berg without
finding an opening, we have the bark
to and lay off that iceberg as long as
we dared, hoping it would split or
crack in some manner to give us a
chance to get at the seals; but nothing
happened, and we had to sail away.T

seal fisheries of the North. and to last
good deal longer. The Ceylonese
pearl beds have been productive for
many centuries. and so have those of

product being diminished, and there is
no reason why those of the California
waters should not be equally fertile and

Cost Her Weight in Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag,
IN the Santa Catalina Mountains, is
perhaps the only woman who, literally
saeaking, ever cost her weight in gold.
It is said that in the early gold-dig-
g!ng days of California she was resi-
dent of Sonora, in which state she was
born and grew to womanhood When
about the age of seventeen paternal
uncle, but a few years her senior, re-
turned with his companions, gold-lad-
en-, from the FL Dorado of the West.
He sought her hand in marriage and
was accepted, but the church refused,
because Of the near relationship exist
ing between them, to solemnize the
marra age. Persuasion being in vain.
ne tried the power of gocl to win the
church his way, and succeeded only by
the payment of her weight in gold.
She at that time weighed III pounds,
and against her in the scales the gilt
tering dust was shoveled. Her affianc-
ed husband still had sufficient of this
worlds goods to provide comfortable
home, and they were married. The
above is fact. and not fiction, as liv,

Eoly Tattooing.

The custom of tattooing the body
formerly existed in all parts of Poly
oesia, bat is now generally abandoned,
except among the rudrr islanders. The
process was substantially as follows:-
tern on the body of his subject; then
taking a tinc-toothed comb, made Of
shell or bone, he dipped it into liquid
composed of the pulverized coal of the
candlc-nut and oil, and placing it on
the spot caused it to puncture the skin
by blow with mallct. Soon blu
ish color appeared under the skin,
which did not fade for many years.
The first marks were made about the
time Of puberty, but so painful, and
even dangerous, was the process that
It was not finished at once, but the
pattern was elaborated Year by year
up to advanced age. i|.. designs were
mostly arrangements OF curved lines,
showing great artistic skill and APP
pearing to the eye like q ,'rapery OF
fine lace work. Often figures of men,
birds, dogs, fishes or other objects
were pictured. The extn.it OF tho per-
son covered by tattoo varied on differ
cnt groups, bat the thighs were inyari-
ably marked. High cl.ie.s were exempt
from the custom, as wc:c the lower
classes of frecmen, slaves. and to a
great extent women. Various theories
have been proposed to account for the
practice, but the only satisfactory one
finds its ground in religion. Tie fig
ures of living objects, so common, are
the totems Of the ind!>;<i':>l or tribe in
which guardian spirits are believed to
reside. The operator is always a
priest, and the patient is t;sbu ''holy''
during the pro css. The primitive
idea seems to have been at by draw
ing the visible emblem OF !, deity upon
the person his favor was thereby Sc
cured. Later, this conception faded
out, and the custom came to be simply
q mode OF ornamcntation or mark 81

tattoocd because, themselves partaking
of the divine nature, the; d q not re.
