Policeman Stearman was the prosecuting
witness in the Police Court today in the case of
two colored boys who were charged with
throwing stones. The officer knew nothing of
the facts. but he charged the boys With the
ofense on information received and depended
on the evidence of another colored boy Tor a
conviction. The court heard the evidence of
all the parties concerned and concluded that
the witness and not the prisoners guilty
but as there was no charge against the witness
he could not be fined The prisoners were dis
charged

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-06-28

AT a gospel meeting in Castletown,
a Manx fisherman known to be true
Christian said: sin early life / was
slave to strong drink; but through
the fundamentally of the temperance
movement | was led to give it up. l
subsequently became converted to
God, and, longing to obey His almost
last command, DO this in remem-
brance Of Me- went to the commu-
Mon. The instant tasted the wine,
so highly was it charge with alcohol,
the old longing came back, and from
that moment, nine yeas ago, l have
never once been to the Lords Table.
I dare not lead myself into tempta-
ton.

The Accomplishments of the Seal.

ihO hOCOilpl'ohlllcllb vi Uuo Dcdl'
There is no animal more affection
ate in its disposition or more intelli-
gent than the seal. We wonder if
any one knows of another animal that
can close his nostrils and ears, when
he plunges into the water and besides
has third eyelid to protect at will
that important organ.
The curiosity of seals is well
known. On the coast of the Orkneys
when the bell rings for divine service
all the seals swim directly for shore,
listen with an appearance Of great
interest, we had almost said reverence,
and they remain till the sound Of the
bell dies away in the distance.
Commerce discovered the seal long
before science did. Money making
men found out that the harp seal
when only two or three weeks old is
covered with coat Of white wool,
which after that date drops off.
These baby seals are called "white
coats" They are very fat and the
oil they produce is more abundant
and more valuable than later. In adj
dition they are easily killed by slight
blow. Often five thousand white
coats are brought in by one vessel
and its crew.
The intelligence of the seal has
been proved in many ways. They
are often domesticated on the Irish
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-06-28

shores, and 60 out fishing, and bring
in every day salmon or turbot for
the family table.
In Boston educated seals were ex-
hibited for several weeks in Horticul-
tural Hall last winter and crowds
went TO see them. We clip from one
of the dailies the following uotice:
Prof. Woodward is now teaching
Crulx Haven to talk. He is one of
the most intelligent seals in the troupe
now performing at Horticultural Hall.
He can already say eyes" "no,"
and humble few other words. Their
song, "Voices from the Deep" IS
always received with great enthusi-
assn. The houses are crowded at
every performance by delighted and
enthusiastic audiences. Many people
90 to see these wonders over and
over again. The other afternoon, a
gentleman stepped up to the box
office and said: "Give me a ticket,
please. This makes the seventh time
| have been in to see the SEALS
A very picturesque sight is the
Greenlander in his kajak hunting the
seal. The KAYAK is a light boat
formed like weaver's shuttle and
glides very rapidly over the water.
He steals silently on his prey till with
in four or five fathoms, then he throws
his harpoon. If his aim is successful
the wounded seal is afterwards dis
patched with a lance. This is very
dangerous work, and the Greenlander
is often the victim instead of the seal,
the KAYAK sometimes floating home to
tell the tale of mishap.
The seals have other enemies be-
sides the Esquimaux. The polar bear
lives on the seal and his cousin the
walrus.
He crawls stealthily up 10 the
former on the ice foes and catches
them; while of the walrus only the
young are thus caught, for an old
walrus is twice as big as bruin. Some
Arctic explorers, however-Captain
Hall and DR.. Rae among others
state that the bear sometimes sur
prises an old walrus by climbing over
him on precipitous hill, or the wall
of an iceberg, and then taking stones
or huge pieces of ice in their forepaws
and throwing them with such force as
to crack the walrus' skull as he lies
asleep at rest on thu ice. Then the
bears spring down on the stunned
walrus and finish him.-The Young
Idea.
