The reduction from 100, ,OoO to 60,O0O in the number of seals that will be allowed to be annually taken in Alaska for their skins, under the new contract with the government, points to greater scarcity of sealsklns in the near future. This is cheerful for those who expect to have to buy sealskin sacks.
 An interesting idea has been suggested as solution of 8 difficulty which has besst congress for some time, in the matter of se- curing reading clerks with penetrating voices that can be heard above the buzz and bubble of an exciting session. It is to employ lady readers. It is stated in advocacy of this plan that the quality of their voices to meet this need is shown in the practical experience of persons using telephones. in which their voices, pitched in high key, can be heard distinctly, while the great gruf voice of a man rumbles into the ear of the listener after mass of confusion of sound.
 Since 1882 there have graduated from the Royal Naval college at Greenwich, England, six bright young Americans, who have re- turned to this country to undertake the great problems in naval architecture that may come up in connection with the design- ing, building and remodeling of government and merchant vessels.

POISONOUS WALLPAPER.
Some New Facts Prescribed by the Bos
ton Medical improvement Society.

Some New Facts Prescribed by the Bos-
ton Medical Improvement Society.
The subject Of poisonous paper
hangings has lately been discussed in
the light of some new facts, by the
Boston Society for Medical Improve
ment.
Some Of the important papers still
contain arsenic in quite dangerous
amounts, and even American manufact-
urers, though they use less arsenic
than formerly, are not yet wholly
within the limits Of safety. 1t is found
that one-tnird of a grain to a square
yard is decidedly deleterious; but
papers are in use that analysis shows
to contain ten, fifteen, and even twenty
grains.
The following are important facts in
the case:'
l. The harm varies, as would natur-
ally be supposed, inversely with the
individuals power of elimination.
This power may be fully adequate in
some persons, and quite inadequate in
others.
2 The symptoms Of two persons in
juriously affected by the same expos
ure and the results may be quite diff
ferent. Inflammation of the kidneys for
instance, may be induced in the one,
and not at all in the other.
8. Arsenic may not give rise to the
ordinary symptoms of arsenical poi
soning, but may stir up and strengthen
dormant, morbid tendencies, and thus
divert attention from the true disturb
ing cause.
4. While one-third of a grain to a
square yard is likely to harm an adult,
a young child may be injured by a
mere trace, and the cause of the trouble
may be wholly unsuspected.
5. While arsenic is not a cumulative
poison. like lead, yet it is very slowly
eliminated from the body. 1t requires
weeks, and sometimes even months, to
effect its complete expulsion after re-
moval from an arsenious atmosphere.
Hence inhaling it constantly, perhaps
day and night, may cause a very dan
gerous accumulation of the poison in
the system. This accumulation will
be very rapid if the organs of elimina-
ton, one or more of them, are feeble.
6. A new and conclusive method of
detecting the presence of arsenic in
the system has been discovered, which
leaves no room for doubt. This test
has been applied in many cases, and
has led to the removal of the paper
from the wall, or of the patient from
the room, followed by relief, and, in
due time, by full cure.
7. The covering Of arsenical paper
by non-arsenical is not sufficient to re-
move danger, for though this expedi-
ent may prevent the arsenical dust
from imcregnating the air, yet it is
surmiscd that moisture develops a
volatile arsenious compound, which
readily finds its way into the air of the
room Youths Companion.

Harry was trying a chemical expert

Il declare said Harry, looking up
with vexed frown, Il don't see why

thing" suggested Uncle Dave.
"No, | haven't" replied Harry, de-
cidedly.
"Tm quite sure you have. You have
forgotten to mix in some brains.'

"Yes, brains--your brains, Harry"

to detect some signs of insanity.

"Oh, | see!' cried Harry, flushing up

my reasoning powers to find out what
is wrong with the mixture. LET me
see," he mused-"oh, | have it! The
camphor has been exposed to the air SO
long, perhaps, it has lost nearly all its
strength. That's why the thing don't
work"
'Perhaps," said Uncle Dave. "Now
if you mix in some more brains you
will be able to make it work. AS a
general thing, Harry, the brain is the
missing ingredient when a failure is
recorded. The boy who never uses his
brains is the boy who can't make a
boat, sled or any useful object. He
goes along all right until he comes to
something not fully explained, because
the writer's space is limited or else he
thinks it is too simple to waste words
on. Instead of using his brains the
boy sits down and writes to know how
he can make this, that or the other, or
else gives up in despair"
Like me with the electrical machine
last winter" said Harry, regretfully.
Exactly; and like many other boys
who never see their way out OF di-
lemma unless some one points it out.
Such boys will never make inventors,
for you know necessity is the mother
of invention"
Don't you believe boy ought to
ever ask advice?' asked Harry.
"Not until he has exhausted all his
own DEVICES. As | said at the begin
ming, he should mix his brains in his
work, and nine times out of ten there
will be no further trouble"
IN remember that" said Harry. -

In the United States Circuit Court for the

man handed down an opinion a few days
ago in the suit of the owners of the trade
marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against Arnold Theler and Cornell Theller,
the compounders located on Vesey street,
New York City, in which it was decided
that, although the defendants made use OF
their own names on the labels affixed to the
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed TO imi-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were in
fringers, and a perpetual injunction was
granted and an accounting of damages or
dered, together with the costs OF the suit.

Old Silver Heels.

This is the true story which Aunt
Lucy often tells the children, as we sit
around the fire at twilight.
when l was little girl-seventy
years ago-we had to go more than a
mile to school. One OF tho large boys
would come for us at night. with old
Silver Heels and sleigh made of :
crockery crate on runners.
1--WE would pile in until there was
not room enough for another one,
shouting, laughing and snow-balling
each other Old Silver Heels would go
on patiently across the bridge. and
about halfway up the long hill. Then
he would turn round and take good
look at the load. II there were more
than three or four of us he would begin
to back down the hill.
"Back-back down the hill to the
very bottom. Then, without word
he would walk up again to the same
place. If we had not lightened the
load he would look around and 60
backing down again. Sometimes we
let him do so five or six times before
the boys would get out; but we never
could get home until they did so.
After they were out, and old Silver
Heels had counted the load, he would
90 gravely on to a steep, siding place
near the gate, where he generally man

for that, for it was only fun to shake off
