able part of the seal, are shipped to
London, where very large percentage
of them, virtually indeed the entire pro-
duct, are first sold in the raw state and
then dyed. This dyeing of seal skins is
purely an English industry, and Eng
lands government always protects Eng
lands industries. She realizes only too
clearly that seal poaching can never be-
come a source of profit to more than
handful of her citizens, and will there
fore interpose no objections to its sup
preston.
The animal about whose preservation
so much has recently been said is properly
more widely and ut the same time less
intimately known than any other Of
natures creatures. Every woman who
wears sealskin coat knows in gen.
eral way that the skins of which it is
made are scarce and hard to procure.
Her husband or father knows in specific
way that they are expensive. But how
many of them know just why they are
scarce and expensive9 How many of
them know, for instance, that there are
two kinds of seal, the hair seal and the
fur seal2 That the skin of the hair seal
is absolutely worthless when compared
with that of the fur seal, and is never
made into cloaks. 1t is coarse and
rough, and is generally tanned and used
for the manufacture of pocket-books,
satchels, handbags, gloves and coach
mans capes. The hair seal is found
everywhere, while the fur seal are prac-
tically confined to the Behring Sea.
Hundreds of thousands of hair seals are
captured every year in the Northern At.
lantic Ocean, while so far as is known
the fur seal has never been seen there.
There was time, however, when the fur
seal was found almost everywhere else.
Seals formerly abounded in the South
ern seas. Ships were laden to the waters
edge with the skins only to bring nomi
nal prices in the glutted markets of the
world, but for all that the butchery never
stopped until the victims were virtually
extermiuated, so far as the Southern seas
are concerned. Whether those perse-
cuted, helpless creatures were all killed
off, or whether they took refuge in Beh-
ring Sea, is not known. Certain it is,
however, that Vitus Behring and his
venturesome crew, having been ship
wrecked in 1741 on the then unknown
Commander Islands, found there millions
upon millions of seals.

With the advent of the COWS is pre-
sented a strong contrast between the males
and females, not only in size and shape,
but in disposition. The cow is as dove
like and amiable as the bull is saturnine
and ferocious. The cow seal is much
smaller and much more shapely in its
proportions than is the bull. They are
not more than one-fourth as large nor do
they show any of that terrible emancia-
ton in the latter part of the season dis
played by the bulls. The reason for this
lies in their going to sea every few days,
leaving their young to take care OF them
selves while they are gone for several
days at time in search of food. Their
coat is much more beautiful than that of
the bull, being of rich steel and maltese
gray luster on the back of the head and
neck and along the spine, blending into
almost snow white on the chest and abb
domen. The head and eye of the female
are exceedingly beautiful. Her express
sion is really attractive, gentle and intel
ligent, and as she perches upon rock
she is the perfect picture of benignity and
satisfaction.
The seal pup, when born is little
mite of thing, but within few minutes
after its birth finds that it has powerful
voice which it uses in giving vent to a
most pathetic and never ending bleat.
They receive but little attention from
the mother seal, who only approaches
her offspring at twenty-four hour inter
walls. She cares but little for it allowing
it to be removed or even killed under her
very nose without protest. The pups,
left to themselves, get together like a
great swarm of bees and spread out on
the ground, in what the sealers call
s'pods," keeping well away from the
water at first, for pup can swim no
better than can bar of lead.
The killing completed, the task Of skin
ming begins. The labor here involved IS
very severe demanding long practice be-
fore the muscles of the back are so de-
veloped as to permit man to bend down
to and finish we'll fair days work. The
body of the seal preparatory to SHINING

its back. The native then makes sim
gle swift cut from the lower jaw to the
root of the tail. A circular incision IS
then made around the fippers. Seizing
flap of the skin on one side of the ab-
domen the workman cuts the skin free
from the, body, lifting it as he goes,
rolling the body out of the sksn on the
sand as the operation proceeds.
A good hand can strip seal IN less
than minute. No skin is left on the
carcass save small patch at the muzzle'
and tail. The skins all gathered, they
are taken from the field to the salt house,
.5,ere they are laid out one upon the
osher chair to fat" with salt profusely
spread upon the heshy sides. Thus they
lie for two or three weeks, when they
become picked and are ready for ship
ment. This, however, does not usually
begin until the last week of the season,
when the skins are corded into packages
of two each with the hair outside. These
packages are in turn packed into hogs
heads containing twenty to forty skins,
in which shape they are sent to London
to be dyed.

By recent act of Congress the new
lease must be made at the rate of S3.5
per skin, the annual rental to be fixed by
competition among the bidders for the
lease. The present arrangements has been
a profitable one for both the Government
and the lessees. The Government has
received during the period covered by
the lease over 81, 7,000,0 600 in taxes and
rentals, while the Alaska Company has
made fortunes for all of its mem
bers. The effect on the seal has been
beneficial in the extreme, there being
three or four times as many on
the Pribylov Islands now as there were
then. The natives, too, have profted
by it. There are less than 400 people
on both islands, their only means of sup
port being the fisheries. They are paid
forty cents for each skin and their aver
age wage is about $500 per annum, not
bad when it is remembered that they are
idle nine months in the year. The Alaska
Commercial Company has also bought
from the Russian Government the sole
right to kill seals in the Commander ISL
ands. From this source they gather
about $4,000 skins annually. Add to
this number the 10000 killed in the
Pribylov group and you have practically
the whole number of skins collected each
year. -
1t must not be supposed that the seals
are at the Pribylov Islands during the
entire year. They only come during the
breeding season, which lasts from early
in May until late in September. Where
they come from no man knows. The
first to make their appearance on the
breeding grounds are the bulls, who come
both singly and in droves from about
May until the end of the season. They
land with perfect confidence and without
show of fear. Upon their arriva. the
bulls, which are then as fat as butter,
take up their position as near the waters
edge as possible. If they prove strong
enough to withstand the attacks of those
of their fellows who come after
them, they stay where they are; If not
they must move back-'take a back seat
as it were.

Company after company was organ
izeG! in Russia for the purpose OF hunting
over these new grounds as soon as the
discovery was made known. No re-
striction was placed upon their slaughter,
with the result that in less than twenty
wears the seal was we'll nigh exterminated
from the Commander Islands. In 1876 the
Pribylov Islands were discovered. Their
discoverer, Gehrman Pribylov, was the
commander of q small sloop named the
St. George, in which he had searched for
these islands for three weary years: He
named one of them st. George, after his
vessel, and the other St. Paul, after his
patron saint. Here he found the great
breeding place of the seal.
The slaughter went on for nearly
century until, in 1868, the Pribylov
Islands became part of the United States
by virtue of the purchase of Alaska from
Russia. During this period there had
been spasmodic attempts at restriction
both at the Commander and at the Prlby-
low Islands, but it was not until the
Alaska Commercial Company was formed
in 1870, that system was adopted which
seems to have proved successful for the
protection of the seal during breeding
time. 1t is to protect this system thaf
the United States maintains that Bchring
Sea is closed sea.
In 1870 Congress passed law for the
protection of the seal, and in accordance
with its provisions placed the islands un,
der the control of the Alaska Commercial
Company, the highest bidder for the
privilege. By the provisions of the law
the Alaska Commercial Company are for
bidden to kill more than 100000 seals
annually. These must be killed in June,
July and September. For this privilege
the Alaska Company pays tax OF S2.6S5 !
on each skin, and an additional $50, ,OOO
per annum as rental. Their leases was
for twenty years aud will expire in May,
1890.

splendid complexion and wonderful
eyes. The cut which heads this article
is from a splendid photograph, by Men
delseohn, of London. The brides friends
say that even this picture did not reflect
the charms of color or the animated ex-
preston of countenance which wonder
fully enhance her attractiveness. .s
Her complexion has been ecstatically
described to be translucent blending of
pink and white. Her eyes are liquid
blue, shaded by dark lashes, dreamy IN
repose, sparkling in conversation. Her
hair is lighter than brown, with de-
cided suggestion of gold in the wealth Of
tresses, which forms contrast with the
eyes and deEcately marked eyebrows.
Her features are of classic Grecian cast.
In stature she is above the medium height,
and connoisseurs have said that her figure
is faultless, neither spare nor stout, but
symmetricalIy rounded. - e.,

Great Britain is quite as much inter-

cries of Alaska as is the United States.
Russia's interest is equal to that Of either
of them. All three of these nations de-
rive handsome revenue from the catch
of the seal, that of the United States and
Russia lying in tax on the catch itself,
while England gets hers through the
preparation of the skins for market.
The Pribylov Islands belonging to the
United States and the Commander
Islands belonging to Russia are practi-
cally the only seal fisheries in the world.
They are al under the control of an
American company, and supply more

There is popular but very erroneous

There is popular but very erroneous
idea that the skin of the seal has much
the same appearance upon the back of its
riehtful owner that it has upon that of
the fair creature who eventually wears it.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
Few skins are less attractive than is the
seal skin when first taken from the seal.
The fur is not visible, but is concealed
entirely by coat of stiff overhair, dull
gray brown and grizzled. The process OF
