THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

TIE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The monetary conference to meet
in one of the continental cities in
October, has been called at the re-
quest of President Harrison; and will
be ono of the most important CON
veations ever held on finance. This
country is particularly interested on
accounted tho divided opinion held
ON the silver question here.
II the conference can adopt any
systom whereby gold and silver will
be on par with each other, and held
in that condition, it ought to end the
discussion about silver. But if silver
is to be deprecated currency, hav-
ing an intrinsic value of 20 cents
worth OF gold, then gold will soon
disappear from circulation,
President Harrison has appointed
five of the most distinguished finan-
ciers in the country to represent the
United States at the conference, re-
gardless of their politics, and we
may safely hope that all will be done
that can be to settle the question
right.

MALARIA GERMS.
FIJI the Air and Poison the Drinking
Water.

Each season of the year has it's
special liability to disease. The
months of August, September and
October always bring with them
more or less malaria, according to
the locality. Malaria is due to lit
tie organism which is generated in
water, producing millions of spores
or eggs, with which the water is
filed. People drinking such water
have malaria. Everyone is liable to
have malaria at this season of the
year. Malaria does not always pre-
duce distinct chill and sweating,
but far oftener manifests itself by the
following symptoms: Slight, chilli
ness and flashes of heat, furred
tongue and loss Of appetite, continu-
Gus dull headache and sleeplesness,
biliousness and dyspepsia.
For malaria in all its forms there
is no remedy equal to Pe-ru-na.
This remedy eleanses the system
of the malarial poison and arouses
each function of the body to healthy
action. No matter how many failures
one may have had to get relief from
other remedies. Pe-ru-na promptly
restores the system to health. The
beneficial effects of this remedy are
felt at once, although it may have to
be continued some time to rid the sys-
tenn of the malarial poison.
For sale at most drug stores, each
bottle accompanied by complete di-
rections for use. Any one desiring fur

the truth was he was simply biding

SKINNED ALIVE.

Eerl Hunter Do Not Tale the TroE;Ns
to XII the Poor Animals.
f. Il Wells thus describes an
incident which he witnessed last spring
while crossing the North Pacific
from Kadiak Island to Sitka Alaska,
in sealing schooner:
I'VE all gathered round the gasping
creature as it lay upon the deck while
one of the hunters an experienced
hand at skinning seals barred his long,
sharp knife and prepared to remove
the pelt.
He made several cuts about the
flippers when enterfered. TIE seal
was breathing hoarsely. its chest rts-
ing and falling spasmod ;cally. Kill
that beast exclaimed before you
skin it.
He obesed, or attempted to. by
cutting u long cash across the crea-
tur's throat
Blood flowed forth in torrents and
covered the deck. The struggling
ceased and thought death had ensued.
The hunter proceeded with his skin
ming operations and the pelt was
about one third removed when was
Mortified by another loud gasp from
the seal and a renewal o. tho heavings
Of the chest Evidently it was not
dead and was undergoing tortured
Kill it' / cried, and man with
one long, slashing cut ripped the an
tlnal open and partially disamboweled
it. Then. with dexteruus movements
OF the knife he rapidly continued to
remove the palt and had almost sep
arated it from the body when another
noise came from the seal. It's mouth
opened and it breathed hoarsely once
more.
Il could scarcely believe my eyes!
There lay a creature alive. yet
skinned 'disemboweled and its blood
lying in pools on the deck.
Cut its heart out! l calculated,
unable longer to bear the sight of the
apparent suffering.
The hunter reached his hand in
side and piucked forth the heart It
was warm and throbbcd regularly.
Cut loose from the body and held out
in the hand it continued to pulsate,
the valves opening anu closing for
fully three minutes with unfailing
regularity. It was u grewsome sight.
But the seal was now dead. He
no longer breathed nor moved. A
feeling Of relief swept over me.
DO they usually die that hard9'
demanded.
Z" Oh, yes" replied the hunter cool
~. They always act that way when
we skin them.'
Il felt like inning the cold blood .
ed wretch then and there He had no
computations when cruelty was con-
cerned. He told me the truth, how
ever. -
THOUSANDS of seals are taken every
year by schoopers in the Northern
Pacific and Bearing sea, and are
skinned alive by their heartless cap
tors. who will not take the trouble to
kill them. The creature dies harder
than almost any other animal and as
it is warm hlooded and sen siti've, no
doubt upder2oes q torture eIual to
any that could possibly be inflicted.
There is no semblanee to unconscious
muscular activity in its case as In the

DR.. R. W. St. Clair, of Fort Wayne,
Ind, tells how, few years since, he
was riding On an engine and caught
a cinder in his eye that caused the
most exc~uc;atiag pain. He says
that he naturally began to rub the
afflicted organ, when the engineer
called out, 'Let that eye alone snd
rub the other one" The doctor
looked incrodulously at his adviser,
but the doctor only continued, 'T
know the doctors think they know it
all, but if you will let that eye alone
and rub the the other one the cinder
will be out in two minutes"
The doctor says that he began to
rub the well eye vigorously and
soon felt the cinder move down to
the inner corner. He was preparing
to take it out by the aid Of small
mirror when the engineer again ad-
monished him to keep rubbing the
well eye" which he did for minute
longer, and then found that the Gin
der had slipped down on to his check

'One bitterly cold day." said the
old traveller to a Seattle Morning Jour-
nal representative 'we-a shipload of
us-were lying at the wharf at Asto-
ria. The river was frozen; we were
waiting for the ice to break. Astoria

store houses and its scattered houses
struggling up the hills among the
burnt pines does not offer many at
fractions to the tourist at any tima
When it is buried in snow it is desc
late. The long days were unbroken
by any event The ice seemed to be
getting firmer. We were perishing
with ennui. That is how we got to
watching the crows. The poor things
were dying of starvation and they
could not resist the temptation to hover
about the ship.
They could not get the food out OF
the water. but stood ON the blocks of
ice and looked down into the waves
at the drifting bits of refuse. The
poor black wretches could not stand
still on the ice or their feet would
have frozen fast so they shifted from
one leg 10 another in a manner which
gave them the appearance of dancing,
'All about with screams and flap
ping of wings, few q flock of gulls,
snatching the food from the water and
fighting in fierce good fellowship.
Soon we noticed sort of understand
ing between the black birds and the
white ones. For awhile the sable
birds prarced and danced surrounding
them picking up bits of food and de-
posting them within reach of their
starving neighhors. And we all
looked and wondered to see dunn
creatures helping each other in their
sore distress and pondered on the lam
guage of those creatures we arrogant
ly call dumb"
