Decline of the Seal Industry.

In his report on Alaska the Governor says
OF the seal industry: THE international COM
plications regarding the taking Of the seals in
the ocean and Bering Sea outside of the three
mile limit has added to the embarrassment of
the lessee company in their business upon these
islands, which had already become seriously
impaired by the wanton destruction of seal
life by pelagic sealing. Only $500 seals were
authorized by the Government TO be killed Oh
the island in 1891. but some 5000 had been
slaughtered before the order was given, so that
in all 1880 were actually killed. 1T was
deemed necessary to allow this number for the
purpose of securing the carcass for food for the
natives, who otherwise, it was feared, would
suffer-"
In again speaking of the sealing industry
the Governor says he believes it is not an over
estimate that the So 0S7 seals taken in the ocean
in 1891 indicates the destruction Of 100000
more, three fourths of which were females. OF
the whole catch the Victoria fleet is stated to
have taken 43502. and the American feet

black silk. The coat fastens little TO one side
with three large black buttons. The fitting is
done without darts-that is, the goods is drawn
right across and fastened. The lining UNDER
meath is fitted with the regulation number of
darts and seams. The coat effect is further
carried out in the moderately long eoat-tails
decorated with one or two buttons. This is
gown that some people muchly prefer either to
the coats with long fronts or to the round
waists and it is not difficult to make. The
cuffs are very stylish with the double edging Of
fur. Black ribbon, or rather moss" trim
ming, could be used instead of the fur The
style Is one also that would make up nicely in
one of the dsrk-reds so much worn this Fall.
The skirt Is plain, with only narrow braid
trimming few inches above the hem OF

There Is quite deal Of difference OF opinion
among housewives as to the best material for
work dresses. 1t seems we'll to have one that
can be easily washed. and many who dislike
the wool gowns because they are heAyy, sx-
psnsiye, spot easily and absorb so much of the
kitchen odOrs, choose prints or calicoes. They,
in their freshness, certainly fill one of the re-
quirements. However, there is great argu-
ment against them. They are not warm enough.

quently while cooking meal, trips must be
made for water or wood or food, either out doors
or to the cellar. In Winter the Sudden change
from the heat of the kitchen to the outside air
must be guarded against. Many women cam
not stand it to wear cotton gown. 1t seems
IS though some of the outing cloths might
make an excellent medium. They are warmer
than cotton, easily washed, inexpensive, light
in weight, and they come in dainty stripes and
checks. 1t is q subject that might prove in
teresting to the "Better Halves" both the
material and style for neat, comfortable

q pleasing lock, for one does not want an ugly

gowns we will gladly publish them for the

Ribbons innumerabie. made into big bows or
little ones. into girdles or sashes, into belts or
collars, are everywhere. Satin, velvet, gros-
grain, brocaded, striped or plain are all so
much used that it is not easy to say which Is
most fashionable. A very pretty girdle can be
made out of ribbon and whalebone, or it can
be bought ready made, but it is apt to be
cheaper and more becoming il fashioned at
home than the store productions. First, the
whalebone is covered with the ribbon-red
watered silk makes a particularly pretty ore.
The silk is sswed very fatty and firmly, and

To bake apples is not difficult, and the,
make a mos. delightful dish for any meal,
whether they be warm or cold, and yet some
housekeepers never think of preparing them.
Children are usually fond of apples in any form
whatever, and apples are good for them. To
bake apples, take five or six large ones, core
them, and put them in pan. Put enough
water in the pan TO completely cover the ap-
pies. In each apple put sugar down the core
and on top. Let them bake thoroughly.
Served with cream and sugar they make
very simple dessert, but delicious one.

plotting walk of 2I0O miles from John Day,
Grant County, Ore Maj. Magone undertook
his long tramp in July last and with tho excep-
tion of swimming river in Oregon on mules

Chicago TO attend the dedicatory exercises of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition. He is SO

with Q robust constitution, as his feat bears

then four, five or six bows are sewed down one
side of it. Under each one of these bows ribbon
straps are fastened. These come together at
the side and end there, except tho lower and
uppermost straps. They are continued to make
the belt, which fastens in the back under a
bow. The number of straps to the girdle may
be varied. As shown in the cut it is rather
long, five or four straps being more generally
used. The ribbon used is about half an inch
in width.

az to be awkward aud bunchy. 1t is matter
that requires careful handling to trim skirt
as shown, and even then is not always satis-
factory becoming. The bow and the band
that connects with another loop in the back are
here made of silk of brown shade to match
the skirt.
Another method of trimming with ribbon is
shown in this picture. A bodice, with q round
neck. has trimming of finely pleated chiffon.
Three resets OF velvet ribbon made with four
short loops make very pretty combination
with the lighter-coored Almy material. The
bodice itself is of fine heliotrope- colored crepe
cloth, made plain and close-ftting, and the
skirt ia plain. The sleeves are of velvet match
ing the velvet bows, and wide girdle or sash
is also of the velvet. 1t is the neck and shoulder
trimming that give the dress its odd, pretty
look.

is trimmed with brown velvet ribbon and .
velvet ruffie for the skirt. At the waist is .
girdle-shaped wide belt of velvet. and the deep
cuffs are of the same material. The gown can
be made to fasten down the front under the
velvet ribbon or in the back. The dress is
very simple one, the fitted waist has little full

is made with plain waist without darts their
fulness being gathered at the waist line. The
skirt is fitted with cores and darts, and has .

edges and dark ceuters. The resets are
made with four wide, short loops of silk ribbon,
with shorter, narrower loops of darker velvet

CATCHING A WOLF.

Dearly.

Dill Burns Won tho Bet, but 1t Cost Him
Dearly.
One cold. windy day party Of live
ly young fellows driving across the
prairie saw prairie wolf making q
meal from dead horse. Bill Burns
offered to bet ten to five that he could
catch the wolf and the bet was taken.
Bill directed the driver TO get as close
as possible under cover OF low ridge
some 800 yards from the wolf With
the wagon concealed by the ridge and
crawl through the knee-high dead
grass, which was nearly the color OF
his canvas coat and old felt hat. The
horse lay with his back toward Burns.
and as it was frozen the wolf was eat
ing from the inside OF the carcass
going almost his whole length into
hole eaten in the horses abdomen.
He would go In and snatch a mouth.
full or two then quickly back out and
look around. 1t was evident that he
considered eternal vigilance the
price OF liberty"
Each time the wolf went in Burns
crawled rapidly toward It, lying fiat
in the grass whenever the wolf came
out In half an hour he had got
within a few feet OF the wolf and
watching for a favorable moment
rose to his feet jumped over the horse
and caught the wolf by the hind legs
TO the spectators it did not look as
though Burns had more than touched
the wolf. when it was rods away and
went oil with such grand burst of
speed that one OF the boys declared
he could hear it whizz long after 1t
was out OF sight Although Burns
held the wolf but an instant he was
severely bitten on both arms and on
one leg. His opponent claimed the
stakes because Burns did not hold the
wolf but Burns said he did not agree
to hold it but to catch it; that he did
not intend to hold it long enough for
it to bite him. but found he could not
let go quick enough. The bet was
decided in Burns favor Forest and
