THE SEAL FISHERIES.

At last the Behring sea difficulty is
about 10 be solved. The British and
our government have decided to form
compact, prohibiting the indiscriminate
slaughter of reals in Behring waters.
and to that end will patrol the northern
sea in search of pirates. In plain words,
England and America have formed
tacit agreement TO preserve these
valuable fisheries from extinction.
Hitherto, Behring sea has been a rem
dezgous for seal pirates of all nationali-
ties. Whyf Because England had, TO
certain extent, claimed the use of
these waters, and upon this assumed
right enterprisng individuals from all
parts OF the Globe hied themselves IN
to the North Pacific and helped the de
vastatIon of one of the most valuable
fisheries in the world. In future these
poachers will be compelled 10 seek
new field for their unlawful pursuit.
Now comes loud prcteE;atioms from
Canadian fshermen--and some vino
have, for divers reasons, holsted the
British ensign over their smacks,-de-
nounciDg the action OF England in this
matter, and. at the same time, pleading
for continuation of their unlawful puT-
suits. They are class who have made
millions at the expense CT our seal in
dustry, and no doubt feel hurt-fnan-
cially-at the present aspect OF affairs.
Now that England has seen fit 10 adopt
a course she should have done long ago
and would, 10. doubt, had she fully
understood the situation --Rehring sea
will be practically closed to all seal
pirates, as the poaching business will be
too precarIous for profit, and Victoria,
B. C. Will no longer be port of entry for
seal laden schooners.

THE ELMER.

The Arizona miners, the men Of rough
exterior whose general makeup would
be slim passport to Gilded circles of
society, Whose labor-tanped hands
grasp yours with grip that would send
shiver through the delicate frames of
the cultured" male gender, are not the
coarse men they would seem. They are
honest and very often highly intelligent,
these professional prospectors, and de-
spite their over -sauguine temperamepts
and msny mistakes, must be accounted
a very useful class of citizens, The world
being indebted 10 them for the mineral
discoveries they have made. Like tie
frontiermen, the noun taineer and the
trspper, they are the outgrowth OF cir
cumstancas-R necessity CT the age-and
beng so ussful and indispensable, it is a
pity they should so often be doomed to
Experimentation sanguine expecta-
tons being blighted by the inevitable
DEGREES of science. Happily, however,
they are not tie kind OF men to be
easily discouraged. Being naturally en-
thusiastic and hopeful they never give
up. II one trip TO the mountains fails
Of reward, they are ready to undertake
another. They know of another good
place to prospect, or have overlooked
something that they would like to 90
back aad examine, anyhow, and SO they
are kept on The tramp, these brave and
hardy men, light heart within and a
hopeful future before them.

ART GLEANINGS.

IN the society of the Red Cross a spe-
cial archaeological department is form
ing, the mission of which will be to
prevent the vandalistic destruction of
old monuments and works of art in
time of war.
IN Altorf, Switzerland, the Tell
monument committee is making every
effort to press forward its work. Four
prizes of S625, 1915, $3.50 and 500 have
been offered for the four best plans for
the monument.
THE historical gray coat of Napoleon

In former DAYS our most powerful
weapons were the 68 FOUNDER or s inch

iron sea service mortar, used for bom-
bardment, for which the spherical shell
weighed POT h., and the projecting
charge was &c ID. OF powder. The posi-

AFTER all the buster of Italy, relative
10 the New Orleans Accident" it has
transpired that only one of the victims
was an Italian subject and he was an
escaped convict. If Italy could have
shown that this one man was a law
abiding citizsn Of his country. she
would have some basis upon which to
make substantial claim for indemnity.
but all she can now expect from this
country is q copy of the grand jury re-
port, rendered liz the state OF Louisiana
a few days ago. 1t may be said to be an
unusual proceeding for grard jury TO
publicly assert its refusal to attempt to
investigate charges of lynching, but the
action OF this jury will be approved by
all who want to see law and order pre-
prevail. All We now have to do with
the matter is but TO accept the result of
the inquisition of the grand sury. and
inform Italy of that fact, as a final
answer to her demands, which are no
less absurd now than they were az the
beginning.

THERE is no greater power for the good
of a new country than the newspaper that
faithfully writes up its resources. The
information thus scattered abroad is like
good seed sown in rich soil, which event
ually bears an abundant harvest. South
ern California is an excellent illustration
to the point Not many years ago it was
regarded by people abroad as a country
too dry for agriculture. A few thought
1t might be profitable for cattle-raising.
Irrigation was an art unknown among
those who depended On the tickle heavens
for moisture for their crops. 1t was not
known how to save the waters Of the
sunken rivers or tunnel the hills for fresh
supplies. Now every drop of water in
the small streams is used to spread out
upon ground hitherto supposed to be I'M
productive, but which, under the magi-
cal influence Of water, produces such
garden spots as Riverside, Pasadena,
Santa Ana, and hundred other similar
localities. The same thing can be Done
for Arizona and produce the same happy
results. In this work the local press will
be the mightiest magnet in drawing
people hither. People will read, believe,
and come. L is SO in all countries. A
country that is rich in natural resources
will not remain long uroccupied by an
enterprising people. The newspapers ad-
vertise its resources. The people come
and develop them.

In the death of Sir John A. Macdon-
aid, Canada has lost the ablest states
man in the history Of that country. Sir
Johns political life, though not all times
pleasing to us, was patriotic. and the
whole Of his enormous energies were
bent toward the advancement of British
interests. The annexationists Of Canada,
through tia death OF the ''Chiaftain,"
have now comparatively clear fitld, for
while be lived unity with the United
States was out of question. Macdonald's
death is a sad blow to the Canadian
Conservatives.

THE GAME OF BACCARAT.
How sEngland's Ariseocracy y hiles
Away its Idle Moments.

There Is Widespread interest just
now everywhere in the game called bac-
arat. 1t has not only convulsed fashion
able and questionable London, but it
has set this country to talking and be-
fore it is over baccarat will probably re
ceive a tremendous boom in public
favor. In fact, the great American five
card game may need 10 look to it's
laurels, says the Kansas City Times.
OF course this great interest IN the
game is attributable to the Sir William
Gordon Cumming libel suit which is
now in progress in London.
The facts of the case are we'll known.
There was quiet party at the country
place of of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Wilson,
one member Of which was the Prince OF
Wales; there was game of baccarat and
Sir William Gordon Cumming was
winner the first night, but his method
of play was not liked. He was thought
to be cheating. 1t was decided to
watch him more closely the next night.
Sir William was ready for the fray next
evening and played the game for blood.
He took the limit off, and rumor has it
that he made his royal highness hit the
csiling more than once. He SHE'D his
chips or counters into the ring with a
careless wave of the hand that made
the heir apparent's hair stand on end.
Sir William, in other words "eat up the
game" as an ordinary American would
say, and about the time hie feet were
getting cold he was called down and
charged with cheating. Hence the
row.
Baccarat is French game. If there
is form of gambling eXtant that the
French people didn't devise except poker
and ''crap," both home productions, it
isn't known. The game was introduc-
ed into England and became fashionable
with the upper classes. 1t is combIn
alton of faro, rouge ct noir and zingt-et-
I'm. Any number of players may parti-
cipate IN the game, which is generally
played with six or seven decks OF cards.
More decks are used as the number Of
players increase. The bank is bid for
and the highest bidder gets it. In the
case in question the Pince of Wales
bluffed out the crowd and did the bark
ing. The aim Of every player is to count
nine, nineteen or twenty-nIne, or near
it as possible. The face cards count
ten, the others count for the spots on
them. IL player gets over twenty
nine, he forfeits his stake to the banker.
AS in vingt-et-un everybody plays
against the banker, although but two
cards may be bet on. The following
table will serve to explain the game:

WHILE the Prince of Wales may have
the right to amuse himself as he pleases,
even to playing cards for money, he has
nevertheless placed himself in an I'M
enviable light through his prominence
in the Gordon Cumming affair. The
princs himself is a self acknowledged
gambler, and according to testimony
given, what Americans would term a
"squealer" when he does not wIn. He
very much resembled the faro and

The professional gambler, however,
