The Seals.

1t is a matter of decided interest to
lind out just what the seals are doing
how many fish they destroy and the
kinds of fish they consume. These
seals make a decided impression upon
salmon, smelts, mackerel, and all the
choice fish that frequent the shores and
inland waters If 1t is true that we are
feeding our seal menagerie at an ex-
pense of 120 tons of fish day it might
be desirable that the job should be
taken of our hands. Considering the
cost, there is not enough fun to war
rant the show. As to the point made,
that the seals have always been here
and have been regular feeders on the
fish named it is said, on the other hand,
that seals about the harbor have great
ly multiplied, and that they will prob
ably go on multiplying indefinitely if
they are not disturbed. But why they
should multiply faster now than in
former times is not explained. If an
other 4,0O0-band of seals were added
to the present number, according to
the present ratio of consumption it
would require 240 tons of fish daily to
satisfy the increased seal population.
What, then, would be left for the in
habitantsP But suppose, after all the
facts have been collected, it should be
decided that the seals must 60, how are
they to be made to 9uitP Constant
shooting of them on the rocks might
worry them so that they might seek
more peaceful quarters for a time. But
when the raid had ceased, would not
there be shortly thereafter other 1000
seals hack in the old hauntsP IT will
be noted that the immense number OF
fur-seals killed in Alaskan waters, and
within limited district, does not per-
ceptibly decrease the number. just
about as many frequent the shores OF
the same islands every year.-Sdn

SO, Lor' Hit i'm AGain!"

In the early days of Methodism in
Scotland, certain congregation,
where there was but one rich man,
desired to build a new chapel A
church meeting was held. The old
rich Scotchman rose and said: ''Breth-
ren, we dinua need 4 new chapel; I'll
give f5 for repairs"
just then a bit of plaster falling
from the ceiling hit him on the head.
Looking up and seeing how bad it
was, he said: Brethren, it's worse
thon THOUGHT; I'll make it 80 pun"
''Oh, Lord exclaimed a devoted
brother on 4 back seat, ''hit i'm again"
There are many human tabernacies
which are in sore need of radical build
ing over. but we putter and fuss and
repair in spots without satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is only when we are person.
ally alarmed at the real danger that we
act independently, and do the right
thing. Then it is that we most kecnly
regret because we did not sooner use
our Judgment, follow the advice born
of the experience of others and jump
away from our perils.
Thousands of persons who will read
this paragraph are in abject misery
to-day when they might be in salts
factory condition. They are weak,
lifeless, full of odd aches and pains,
and every year they know they are
getting worse, even though the best
doctors are patching them in spots.
The origin of these aches and pains is
the kidneys and liver, and il they
would regeuerate these they would be
well and happy and would bless the
day when the Lord ''hit 'em'' and in
dicated the common-sense course for
them to pursue. .-Lond0a Press. -

Still We Grow.

Twenty-Five years ago we were
80, 900. 600 of people; now We are near
ly 60, OOO, 900. Then we had 141 cities
and towns of over 5000 inhabitants,
now we have 2S6 of such cities and
towns. Then the total population OF
our cities was 5000, 600, now it is about
10000
Our coal mines then produced H.
600. 600 tons, now $1,000, 600 tons, or
six times as much.
The iron product amounted to 9OO,-
600 tons of ore; to-day it foots up over
5000, 600 tons year, almost a nine
fold increase.
In 1860 our metal industries employ
ed about 53, 600 hands, consumed S1OO,
OOO, 900 worth of material, and turned
out about $3.50, 600. 600 in annual pro-
ducts.
To-day these industries employ 300,-
900 hands, consume $3.50, 600, 900 OF
material, and their annual product
amounts to $500. 600, 900 year.
In 1860 the wood industries employed
13O, 900 persons; to-day they employ
$40, 900, while the value of their annual
product has trebled.
The wooden industry employed 60C
persons then, and now employ 16O, 600,
while our home mills, which produced
goods of the value of 80, 600, 900 in
1860, now turn out an annual product
worth $270, 900. 900.
Finally there is cotton. In 1860 we
imported 22O. OOO, 900 yards OF cotton
goods; in 1881 we only imported 7O,'
OOO, 900 yards.
In the meantime the number oi
hands employed in American cotton
mills has increased TO 200, 900, and W,
export over 150, 900, 900 yards of cotton
| goods a year, instead of importing
! 227, 900, 600 yards as we used to do.
Finally, the total of our exports has
! doubled. In 1860 it stood at S4OO, 600,
600, and now it stands at about $500,

Great Mems Sons at a Disadvantage.

Sons of great men seem to remind
US in these days chiefly that they can
not climb to fame upon their fathers
greatness. 1t is a somewhat curious
fact that outside of a few families,
of hereditary bar to public succession.
Perhaps it is as well illustrated by the
fortunes thus far of Robert Lincoln as
by those of any other man. Mr.. Lin
coin is not only the son of his father.
but he is really able Ean. He has
shown himself such in his profession
He showed himself such in the cabinet
to which he was called. And yet the
name of Robert Lincoln is one un-
familiar to the politics of the day, and
his ability is neither properly measured
nor appreciated. The first reason, of
course. is that such men have applied
to them an altogether different standard
from that in ordinary use. 1t is not
asked if they are abler or wiser than
their associates, but if they are as wise
and able as their fathers or uncles.
To require uf a young man that he
should display the qualities of a Lin
coin or Grant in maturity, and placed
in the forcing atmosphere of a great
crisis, is to depreciate him in advance
He is not a weakling because he can
not carry the giants armor, yet that is
the test set for him. 1t is one of the
consultations of mediocrity to believe
that the world is run by favoritism.
To bear an illustrious name is, there
fore, to become a target of certain
species of envy. And if any scion of a
house still honored rises to greatness,
he will have achieved it. He will not
be born to it or find it thrust upon
him, but he must be very great, in-
deed, to overcome the disadvantages
of standing in the shadow of the colos-
sal dead.-St Paul PioHeer-PTeSS.
