 WASHINGTON, April 19.-An agreement between the United States and Great Brit ain for 8 modus vivendi in relation to the fur seal fisheries in Behring sea for the pres ent season has been signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, and by James G. Blaine, secretary of state, and transmitted to the senate for its action by the president.
 The modus is in the form of a supplement- al convention to the treaty of arbitration recently ratified It states that both gov ernments will prohibit during the sealing season the killing of seal in that part of the Behring sea lying eastward of the line of demarcation described in article l of the treaty of 1867 between the United States and Russia.
 The vessels of the United States or Great Britain or citizens of either country offend ing against this agreement may be seized by either of the high contracting parties, but as soon as practicable shall be handed over to the authorities of the nation to which they belong, who shall have sole jurisdiction to try the case and impose pen alties. The document is renewal of the agreement of 1891, with the addition of a clause providing for the settlement of dam ages sustained by the Canadian sealers through the interruption of their business, in case the arbitration goes against the United States.

The Christian Endeavorers may well be
proud of their last (the 11th) Annual Conven.
ton. The continual increase in numbers and
enthusiasm and the consequent increase in in
fuence and importance are very encouraging.
To person particularly interested, who has
watched its development the rapid growth of
the Association is not SO amazing as to
stranger who suddenly realizes that the young
folks are working and working we'll. For dig
nifty the Society can claim high rank. and yet
there is no lack of interest among the men,

realization of the fact, and the newspaper &C
counts of the proceedings at New York were
almost as generally read as the news from
Homestead, if not quite. Among the " En-

from China and Spain; from Africa, India,

A photographer in some Western city who
discovered that when taking ful-fgure pho
tograph of the ladies, they had to hide their
feet, bought several pairs of assorted sizes
all small-of wooden feet, neatly shod. Now
when feet are necessary in the picture he
adjusts pair of these to the skirts of the sub
ject, and she tries to keep her own out of
sight. Now this may be true story, and
again it may not. However, the idea may be
of use to photographers, for of course there
always will be some women who have larger
feet than others.

Odd combinations of color are talked about
great deal, but they are rarely perfectly har-

better to use in rubbing ON the salt than the
