Salisbury, was tho concurrent action

beautiful, he takes a position in May
among the basaltic rocks which are
washed by the surf in storms, braces his
broad chest upon his fore fippers,
stretches his heayily-maned, glossy, un-
dulating neck, throws his tapering head
aloft and roars forth horse below of
defiance to the world. He closes
with a gutteral growl that sounds
like two quarts of pebbles rattling
in his throat, while down the
corners of his threatening mouth,
stockaded with ivory fangs, droop the
long, gray lines Of his aristocratic
mustache. Here he takes his stand,
and here he will meet his expected fam
ily or death"
In June comes his multitudinous
bride. The male fur seal is hugo but
symmetrical brownish bulk OF six TO
eight hundred pounds. The female is
meek, modest, submissive-l looking little
creature, averaging about hundred
weight. She creeps up ont of the water
with demure, downcast countenance.
The shining hair neatly brushed back
from her pretty little head, and-ar-
rayed In brown sacque, think you?
Not at all. She is quakerish-loolsing
matron in an unpretending steel gray,
but sleek aud tidy without wrinkle in
her dress.
''Therc could not" says Mr.. Wardman,
''be a greater contrast; he, aggressive,

Some Interesting Facts Ceaeernfng Its

The blood Is in a state of constant

force TO all the tissues, the venous cur

tissues, and conveys II 10 the different

The propulsive action of the heart Is
due TO its successive contractions.
These contractions occur about seventy
times minute in a healthy male adult,
more frequently in women, and much
more frequently in infants and chill
drcn, being at birth from one hundred
and thirty 10 ono hundred and forty,
and gradually sinking 20 about one
hundred at the sixth year, and 10 ninety
or eighty-five at the tenth.
The arteries are unlike the veins in
that they share in the beating of the
heart; but the beating of the heart is
readily perceived only where an artery
