Gnll Hunflng.



The gulls, and there are millions of them
about the mouth Of the 81. Croix, furnish profit
able sport for the Indians. They take their
soft, beautiful breasts to the watering places
and sell them at 10 cents to 81 so each to the
ladies' for millinery and decorative purposes.
Gulls are easy game to bag but for some un-
known reason they stay on the Canadian side
of the line the most of the time, and the Cana
dian authorities have forbidden Americans to
shoot mt them in the Provincial waters. This
is a great grievance to the gull hunters, who
have petitioued the Governor of Maine and his
Council to take some action in the matter. The
course of the Canadians is believed to grow out
of the fisheries imbroglio.

Chinese Sailors Food.

Son FranciscO CdH
The statement has been made by Capt Brown,
of the British bark Omega, that the crew of his
vessel are entirely Chinese. and that on trip of
the Omega, from Puget Sound 10 Shanghai and
back. his expenses were only one-sixth as much
by employing Chinese in preference to white
men. Capt. Brown states that he pays his
Chinese sailors 50 per month. and their food
costs about Sl.50 per head. While in the Sound
the Chinese crew dragged up out Of Victoria
harbor 500 pounds of keIp and caught 1000
pounds Of dogfsh. He also says that the
Chinese use the kelp for soup. and are very
fond Of dogfsh. These two partiaIities Of the
Chinese still further reduce the expenses Of
their board.

The Paris Census.

Lucy Hoopers Letter.
The work of taking the Paris census is now
completed, so far collecting the papers left in
each household to be filled up is concerned 1t
is reported that the result will be anything but
satisfactory, and that nothing like complete
numbering OF the population Of the city will be
attained. Oddly enough, there has been devel-
oped, amongst the upper as well as the lower
class, strong feeling Of opposition to the meas
ure. Many of the Partisan aristocrats positively
refused to have anything to do with the obnox-
ious papers because the government that pre-
scribed the taking of the census is Repub-
lican On the other hand the lower orders
look upon the proceeding an unjustifable in
vestigation into their private affairs. Some of
the papers were sent back with 1T is of
your business" or "You are q great deal too
curious" appended reply to each and all of
the questions. In many cases the incorrigible
French propensity for joking had come into
play, and nonsensical answers were given. such
as "Ask my mother-in-law," IF ever knew
have forgotten" ETC. In some of the city depart
ments as many as 40 per cent of the papers were
thus rendered practically useless. 1t is hard to
understand why so intelligent a people as the
French should thus find pleasure in obstructing
the action Of the government in matter of pub
lie utility.
