VICTORIA, B. G., April 1s.-Sealers are
much coneerTsd over the announcement from
Washington that all vessels sealing in Behr-
ing sea waters will be seized Hunters and
sailors object TO going on a cruise under the
present circumstances. It is thought here
that war ships will be sent to Behring sea to
protect British sealers but nothing definite
is known on the subject. Sealers call atten-
tion to the fact that while the president o.
the United States has issued proclamation
closing Behring sea, England and Canada
have said nothing as TO whether they will
protect the interest Of British sealers. Sealing
schooners, it is said, will go armed, and the
men say they viii not submit to the piratical
attacks of American cutters.

that Mr.. Huston, the newly appointed United

OCEAN POSTAL SERVICE.
A Proposition Made by Ger
man Government Official.
UNITED STATES TREAsURERsHIP.

Why Mr. Huston Delays Taking the Oath.
Appointments by the Pfesldent-Con-
suIships In Great Demand - Serious
Trouble Not Feared e. Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Mr. sachse, sec
retary of the imperial German postofii e, in
letter to the postmaster general, dated Ber-
lin, March 8, proposes the establishment
jointly by the United States and Germany Of
sea postofiices on the vessels plying between
the United States and German ports, which
carry the mails. Attention is directed to the
fact that much delay is occasioned in the
prompt delivery Of the mails owing to the
fact that they have to be assorted and dis.
tributed after being landed at the port Of
destination Of the steamer.
The suggestion is made that postal clerks,
similar to railway mail clerks, be employed
jointly by the two governments for the dis
tribution Of the mail while crossing the
ocean, so that when the mail arrives at the
port Of destination it will have been dlstrib-
uted for all the large distributing offices
either in Germany or the United States The
cost Of this service, Mr.. Saehse computes, win
be about $4,000 per annum, whicn to each
country viii be s22,50O per annum. The
matter is now in the hands of the postmaster
general, who is giving it consideration.
Superintendent Bell of the foreign mails
service, who is familiar with the laws, inter-
national and domestic, pertaining to the
service, expresses doubt as TO whether the
United States could under existing laws
enter into such an agreement with the Ger
man government as is suggested by Mr.
Sachse. He is, however, thoroughly in nc
cord with the suggestion, which he regards
as an excellent one, and thinks if it can be
put into operation it will greatly facilitate
the prompt delivery of mail matter between
the two countries, and could, with like profit,
be employed between the United States,
Great Britain, France, Spain and Italy.

Hints To Housezssnsrs-

TIE yolk of an egg is good to keep
hatirOns smooth and clean.
CEILINGS that have been smoked with
a kerosene lamp should be washed off
with soda water.
For dyspepsia pour one quart of cold
water on two tablespoOnfuls of unslaked
lime; let stand a few minutes, bottle
and cork, and when clear it is ready for
use; put three tablespOOnfuls in cup
of milk and drink any time, usually be-
fore meals.
IT Iightens cares so much when a
littIei fOrethOught is expended. In the
CO OF months one can buy enough to last
several days, and breakfast should al
ways be planned the night previous,
and everything laid convenient for the
mornings work.
NOTHING is more thoroughly mistaken
than the idea that a woman fulflls her
duty by doing an amount of work that is
far beyond her strength. She not only
does not fulfill her duty, but she most
singularly fails In it; and the failure is
truly deplOrable.
