AN EDUCATED SEAL.

He PERI rms Feats That Woul Make
Trained Dog Ashamed of Himself.
The Republique Franchise gives a
long account of the life and adventures
of singularly learned seal that has
just made his debut ia Paris at the Fer

came from Russia when he was quite
young, having been sent to a fish.
monger in Orleans. Instead of killing
him and selling him in pieces to his
customers the fshmonger took compass
sion on the queer little animal and made
a household pet of him. At the end of
six years Phopho, as the seal is called,
grew to be big, fat fellow. He always
came when he was called, and cheerful
ly gave his paw, or rather, his ripper,
to every body that he was introduced to-
In addition to this evidence of good
breeding, he displayed remarkable
talents and skilfully performed feats
that would make an imperfectly edu-
Gated terrier ashamed of himself. When
the fishmonger decided to leave Orleans
for Paris, he, of course, brought his pet
along with him, placing him in large
water tank and sending him as

monger. So he hired apartments in a
hotel in Montmartre, including a room
for Phopko, adjoining the one in which
he lived with his wife. Phopho's bed
chamber is furnished with a water tank,
and that is all. In this way the happy
family are able to continue the pleasant
mode of life which was commenced five
or six years previous in Orleans. On

MAC...rlO Ai4 SYRACUSE.

What Is Left of the Famous Capital of
Sicily's Athenian Empire.
There are few cities in Europe, there
is none in Sicily. so replete with classic
al interest as the once magnificent city
of Syracuse, against whose walls was
shattered the prowess of the brilliant
and mighty Athenian empire. Sadly
fallen. indeed, are the fortunes of the
Syracuse of to-day. The resistless
progress of devastation caused by the
action of man and OF time is probably
nowhere more effectively witnessed
than at Syracuse. The five suburbs
which we're included within the ancient
walls have shrunk to the modern town
which covers the site of the old Oltygia,
the spot where the Corinthian advent
urers settled in 734 b. c., and from
whence rose 1.-The greatest and fairest
of all Greek cities" Of these four towns,
containing superb public and private
buildings, nothing, comparatively speak
ing, but few large stones remain.
Since the time when the city was pill
LACED and fired by the Saracens in S78
the ruins have wasted and nodded away,
the crumbling dust being swept by the
sirocco into the sea, and the site upon
which SO many world important actions
have taken place is now converted into
corn-fields rudely titled, whilst here
and there farmstead dots the lonely
and desolate expanse. The leading feat
ures of the suburbs of Syracuse still re-
main the same, and any student of
Thucydides can easily trace for himself
all the varying movements of the great
Athenian siege. The magnificently-
sheltered harbor is still, as on the mem
orable day when Nilsias and his Cen
erals in the Athenian triremes hurled
themselves with desperat ton against the
vessels of the Spartan Gylippus, who
having blockaded the entrance to the
harbor with chains, held the Athenian
navy as in vice. The two land
armies watched the engagement
from the hanks and stimulated
the combatants with loud shouts
described by Thucydides as resembling
the surging of a dramatic chorus. How
the Athenian power was overwhelmed,
and how, after few days of misery,
Nikias and his blood stained and broken
battalions surrendered, and Demos
themes capitulated; and how the seven
thousand prisoners were taken to the
stone quarries to die dogs death OF
disease, hunger and thirst, are facts toe
well-known to need recounting. Oddly
enough, when | first entered the har-
Dor of Syracuse it was occupied by
more powerful, though less picturesque
fleet than those of ancient Athens or of
derous black ironclads, with a horde Of
waspish, spiteful torpedo boats fitting
across the blue waters of the expansive
harbor, which twenty-three centuries
before had been beaten into bloody surf
by splashing oars and the clashing OF
mighty triremes.-Art Journal

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiop, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition OF the nucus sur.
