BEHRING SEA MATTER.
1T rs ATTRACTING ATTENTION OF
THE GOVERNMENTS INTERESTED.
Canada Shows Evidence of Becoming
Somewhat Frantic-The Imperial Gov
ernment to be Asked to Interfere at
Once-Blaine's Eloquent silence as to
the Future.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Inquiry at the
department of state this morning is met by
the statement that absolutely no informa-
tion lie here respecting the seizures OF the
Triumph and Black Diamond, except that
contained in the Associated Press dispatch.
In conversation with prominent official,
he said that whstever may have been the
policy OF the last administration, it was
evident that the present administration
did not look with disfavor upon the seiz-
ure of British or other vessels suspected Of
poaching on United States seal grounds.
The case OF seizure and search OF the Tri-
umph, which was afterwards released be-
cause no sealskins were found, the official
intimated might be more OF q ser.
ious matter than the seizure and de-
tenrion OF the Black Diamond, for it in
volved the right OF the United States to
seize and search suspected vessels outside
Of what it concluded to be the limit OF the
Jurisdiction of the United States. The
government, he said, claims that right
within the limit not yet acknowledged by
England, and the settlement of the
question after all is to be one OF jurisdic-
ton.
CANADA DEMANDS WAR VESSELS.
OTTAWA, July 3O.-In the cabinet meeting
held yesterday. the seizure OF the British
vessels by the United States cruiser in
Behring sea was considered. A demand
win be made at once on the British govern
ment for two war vessels to proceed to
Behring sea to protect Canadian vessels
from the United States revenue cutters.
Bonnel believes several Of the sealing
schooners that sailed from Victoria are
heavily armed, and will be able to protect
thems elves. as they started with the inten-
tion OF not being taken without making q
desperate struggle.
OTTAWA, July 31.-The report that the
cabinet is considering the Behring sea mat
ter is untrue. The minister OF customs tel
egraphed to Victoria for report. As soon
as it comes to hand q strong remonstrance
will be submitted to the imperial govern
ment.
MR.. BLANE's ELOQUENT SILENCE.
BANGOR, Me-, July 31.-As Secretary
Blaine passed through the city this even
ing reporter called his attention to the
OF a Boston saper to the effect
that it would be impossible for the ma
tional government to sustain the preten-
sions OF Secretary Blaine that the Behring
sea is distinctly American waters. The
secretary simply remarked it might be well
for the paper jim question to indicate the
occasion, officially or unofiicially, where he
had said any ytLing at all on that point.
Mr.. Blaine further stated that every thing
done on the fur seal question since the 4th
OF last March was in literal compliance
with the directions contained in the act of
Congress approved by President Cleveland
the last day of his term. -

THE MOST GIFTED OF MoRTiLs
Is the Man Who Knows How to Get Along
with Everybody.
Yankee Blade.

The dazzling genius may startle and
ments, but the man who knows how to
get along with people is very apt to reach
the heights, while the dazzling genius,
like an eagle with broken wing, is
tloundering in the valley below.
Put the dazzling genius and the man
who knows how to get along withSpeople
side by side on the race track of lite, and
then let them start abreast. The dazzling
genius will excite the curiosity of the
crowd by the brilliancy of his CREATIONS
and his involved and intricate
evolutions. He will leap like an I'M
broken colt and prance like one-year-
old filly. but the man who. knows how to
get along with people will come swinging
down the home stretch, past the judge IS
stand, with his brilliant, but cratic,
competitor far in the rear.
The faculty of getting along with speo-
pie is, perhaps, the most fortunate gift
with which nature can endow man.
The whole secret consists in liking people
and taking an interest in them. So many
men are armed with dislikes like porcu-
pine quilts, which they shoot in all direc-
tions, letting them strike where they
Will. InSy are Ike LnOS0 DlVOGdl guns
which we see in the navy, which turn on
a swivel and shoot toward every point
On the compass. They keep their bat
ferries loaded, ana every man who APP
proaches them they regard
as an invader and an enemy.
They scrutinize their. acquaint-
ances as a proof-reader examines his
proof to see what errors he can discover.
Their lives are perpetual quest for the
vices of their nelghbors. They never get
along with people, for people object to
having a perpetual inventory taken of
their faults and weaknesses.
Opticians tell us there is one little spot
in the eye that is entirely blind. The
mental eye of the man who knows how
to get along with people has large
spot that is blind to all his neighbors
vices, while his vision is unusually
keen in regard to all their good qualities.
Everybody likes him because he likes
everybody. No wonder he climbs high
in the world, for everybody stands ready
to give him 'Fboost. -

A CHIRoPoDIsT HAS HIS SAY. =
He Gives Some Adsics to People Who are
Worried by cOrns.


Year before last 1 had two women
patrons to one man, - said chiropodist.
But last year and so far this year, the
falling off in the former patronage has
been no decrease in the number of my
male customers. How do l account for
this? Easily. Fashion in shoes is re-
sPonsible for it. A year and half ago
the high, narrow French heels were the
fashion in women 8 shoes. and they are
one of the best friends chirDpodist can
have. They are REGULAR and rapid
breeders of corns. No woman can wear
pair of such shoes long without looking
up q corn doctor.
'tBut the low fiat heel is now HE fash
ion. If the rest of the shoe fits tife. foot,
these heels are the natural enemy of
corns, and the chiropodist has to suffer.
It is generally believed hat
women are more vain of their fact
than men are of theirs, but my exps-
rience has shown me that quite the cont
trary is the case. Men will insist OF
making their foot look small, and any
shoe that will do that is the fashion for
them. The narrow-toed or the tooth
pick style of men IS shoes, worn now as
much as ever, will always insure the corn
doctor living, especially if the shoes are
patent leather. A patent leather shoe for
some reason, viii call corn into being
much quicker than an ordinary leather
shoe.
''The fellows who don It have corns are
those who wear roomy toed shoes. But
they musn Il be too large. A shoe too
large is as bad as one too small. An
bottom of the feet, and they are
the worst kind. The late war was
the greatest corn ourer ever known. /
never knew of single case of soldier
IN that war who suffered from corns, and
I was all through it If a law should be
passed that no shoe should be worn in this
country but the pattern army shoe of the
rebellion the corn DOCTORS occupation
would be gone. -

JUST LIKE THE GIRLS.
A Story that viii Go, Now the Sweet Things

Story that viii Go, Now the Sweet Things
are Graduating.
Andover Mass Letter IN Kennebec Journal.
a good story is told at the expense OF
one of the young fellows of the academy,
who conceived a strong liking fer q
bright-eyed seminary girl. The lady
teachers never permit boxes from home
or elsewhere containing appetite tempt
ers to be received by their fair charges.
The young fellow 1 speak of evil
IDENTIFY did not Know of this rule,
or else he had forgotten. AT any rate he
sent his lady-loye box contalng a va
riety of dainties, cakes, PIES and an as
sortment of confectionery that would
have tempted the eyes of a connOisseur.
OF course the box was intercepted by the
argus-eyed lady teachers. and good Miss
McKeen seated herself to write the young
man a note, at the same time informing
the recipient of his favor that the box
must be returned.
But, alasi The dear old lady knew not
the wiles of those sweet girls, and while
she penned her curt letter informing the
young man-very pointedly, we may be-
lieye-of the full enormity of his offense
the fair charges extricated the contents
of the box, filed it up with old shoes and
did it up again with a skill that avoided
detection, and while the good lady
principal was peacefully snoring in her
bed that night it is safe to assume that
they did full justice to the good things so
oibortuneIy secured to them.
when the expressman brought the box
bac9l to the young man it is safe to say
ne Hzas mad He concluded, however,
t would be a shame to lose so many
Ahings and accordingly redirected it
Gna6Seasttpt it to kind, older brother at
college,. Just what the elder brother s
feelings were when he opened it is one of
the things which curious public has not
yet been able to discover.

The Richest Legacy.


The richest legacy that parents can
leave their children is not a matter of
silver or gold or bonds or real estate. 1t
is not thing of cash but of constitution;
not of good investments but of good
health. The young man or young wo-
man that has inherited from his or her
parents a sound constitution and its
concomitant of perfect health has no
earthly reason to complain of parental
shortcomings in the matter of a legacy of
dollars. They have received capital
which is far and away of greater
value than money, or of any
thing which money can buy. They have
received that which lawyers cannot melt
away or financial storms destroy. The
superb pricelessness of this legacy should
not be lost sight of, either by parents or
by those whom they have brought into
this world of weaklings, of sick and suf-
fering men and women, whose burdens
of i'll heal tn are traceable to their an
cestors.

Long Hunt for Happiness.

Amsterdam, Ny, is somewhat noted
for matrimonial eccentriclties the latest
heing the record of one lady, given in
the Recorder as follows: She eloped
with her first husband when she was
eighteen and he sixteen. His father
followed the pair and waltzed the
young man home on his ear. Then he
secured a divorce for his son on the
ground of undue influence. The wife
never saw him again. Her second nus
band was a widower, sixty years old ),
wealthy and consumptive. He died in
year. She loved her third husband ;,
but he married her for her money 1t
did not take her long to discover this,
and then she paid him for letting her
get a divorce Her fourth husband
married her for love, but she merely
wanted companionship. They lived
happily together until he was killed on
the railroad near Albany few years
ago. She married again about year
ago and only recently became mother.
1t was her first child; too. Her present
husband seems to love her and she him,
and may be she has found her affinity
at last.

Poisoned by Sour Milk.
Hartford Times

The investigations INTO the ice cream
poisoning at Glastonbury, at st. Luke s
church festival, on the evening of May
16, show that it was neither lead poison
ing nor the vanilla fiavoring that caused
the trouble. The chemists trace other
similar cases to the same cause, viz.
to tyrotoxicon in cream "a term mean
ing, we suppose, the beginning of
poison by sour milk or decaying vegeta-
bles or meat. 1t was found that those
only who ate of the vanilla cream were
taken i'll, and about seventy persons
were affected. The state board of health
sent Professor Fl e. Smith, chemist of
New Haven, to investigate the case. He
was assisted by DR.. H. NJ. Rising of
Glastonbury, who had attended the
patients. 1t was found that the
milk used for the vanilla cream was not
allowed to cool at all. TWAS put into q
covered pail when warm and left stand
ing in warm place for an hour or two.
This treatment of milk has been found to
be favorable to the generation of the
poisonous ptomaine of tyrotoxicon. Then,
after the custard was made, it was left
FIVE hours before freezing, thus giving
the opportunity for the whole
quantity to become charged with tyro-
toxicon. The woman who made the Gus
tard ate some of it before it was frozen
and she was affected, thus showing that
it was not the condition of the metal
freezer nor lead poison that brought
on the sickness. 1t was the poison gem
Grated by the decaying milk and custard
that caused the sickness.

REASONS FOR INSOMNIA.
Thousands Bored to Death by the Stagnation
of Domestic Life"

Christian at Work.
Are you inflicted with insomnia? Per-
haps you have too much time for sleep.
Perhaps you depend too much on sleep
for rest and recuperation. For sleep
is not the sole rest Of used-u D
nerves. Sociabihty, congeniaiity and the
enjoyment of good company rest the
body quite Gs much as sleep. The dreary
monotony of life in many household,
involving this tumbling into bed with the
mechanical regularity Of a machine at
or 10 o clock in the evening, does not
always rest weary bodies. ''Early to
bed and early to rlse'' does not always
make a man healthy, wealthy, or wise
Numbers of organizations are only ca
pable of five or six hours sleep ut
time, and their early lying down to rest
is often succeeded by au early waking up
and a consequent restless tossing for
hours proceeding daybreak. The prac-
TIGERS OF punctuality are often surprised
after breaking their own cast iron rules,
aud passing two or three later hours of
mirth and 5olity passed their usual bed
time, TO find themselves even more re-
freshed in the morning than usual.
The relaxation or sociability has
sleep or an attempt to sleep. But these
are conditions not so easily reached in
the average family In fashionable life
we have formal, exhausting and me-
chanical evening of more or less dissipa-
ton. On the other hand the evenings of
grea numbers of families are monoto-
nous humdrum. They involve the same
surroundings, the same paterfamilias
yawning over his paper, and the same
querulous mamma overladen with family
cares.
Fresh people with fresh thought, fresh
atmosphere, anything to stir up and agi-
tate the pool of domestic stagnation, are
sadly needed and sadly scarce. There
needs to be also constant succession of
such fresh people TO bring about these
results. The world is full of men and

thing to make them both happy, and
that was an heir to inherit the blessings
