STELlER'S SEA LION.
In Temper ne Is Moro Lioniike Than the
Lion Himself.

In Temper nc Is More LionIike Than the
Lion Himself.
Steller's sea lion is the king of the
pinnipeds. Unlike nearly all other sea
animals that have been gloriously mis-.
named after familiar land quadrupeds,
his appearance is quite lionlike, partic-
ularly his massive head and ferocious
countenance and his pow5 . 'ul neck,
covered with long, coarse hair of q
tawny gray color. While he does not
roar quite so thunderously as the king
of the desert, he roars much oftener
and moro universally. In temper he is
more lionlike than the lion himself, for
the old males are continually fighting
and cutting each other with their long
teeth in way that real lions never
dream Of. They arc timid and afraid in
the presence of their master-man-
but so is the lion also, for that matter
though he is not stupid idiot, like the
sea lion.
Steller's sea lion is at home in various
places in North America, from tho Far
alone islands and Point Reys, near San
Francisco. northwnrd along the Pacific
coast to the Pribilof islands. He loves
the most rugged and rocky shores, where
the breakers thunder increasingly
against the foot of tall black cliffs. 1t
is OH the Pribilof islands, however, that
this animal may be seen in the greatest
numbers and. mt bis best. The herds that
make that wild spot their home number
many thousand individuals. The herd
that frequents the northeast point of
st. Paul's island is drawn upon by the
natives for food and other purposes as
regularly as IL il were big herd of cat
tie. In Mr.. Elliott's time that one herd
Is said to have contained between 49,.
600 and 20, 600 head. ST. Nicholas

A Good Place to Rest.

A man went into store in neigh

rest four or five hours. The proprie-
tor, who had just found nest OF
newborn mice in the coffee grinder,

him why no didn't go to the hotel.
The man answered: Il am suffering
from nervous prostration, and the
doctor said to get quiet place to
rest, and ] sec you don't advertise.

should Young Minds BE Fed Upon Fact
or EIhn Fiction?
Magazines and newspapers fairly
teem with copious instructions ON
the mental training of childhood.
The mother, distrustful OF her own
Judgment, picks up an article in
current monthly which bids her
e.ead fairy stories TO the children. "
The author goes on to say that fairy
tales develop the imagination, and
that it is cruel to deprive childhood
Of its natural mental environment,
which is certainly the realm OF fam
cy."
This is palatable advice, and the
reassured parent forthwith supplies
her children's library with Grimm
and Andersen.
She is charmed with the prospect
of gathering the little ones around
her and hearing their exclamations
Of pleasure as she reads to them the
lovely tales which have been the de-
light of children for ages.
But, very happily, before she has
fully embarked ON this wild career
of mental dissipation, her attention
is arrested by the statement OF so
eminent an authority that she dare
not treat it lightly:
"The English language scarcely
contains words strong enough TO de-
nounce the folly and crime of parents
who tell their children fairy tales
Little do guardians Of infancy reek
of the frightful effect on the imagi-
nations of children; of the sleepless
nights when they cover under the
blankets fearful of the possible ap-
proach of Bluebeard or a probable
attack by Jack the Giant Killer"
Then, too, the enemy of the fairy
story claims it has an unwholesome
influence on the morals of the chill
dren, familiarizing them with deeds
of bloodshed and giving them a light
regard for truth.
1t cannot be denied that the heroes
and heroines of fairyland will occa-
sionally quibble in order to extricate
themselves from the dangers into
which their love of adventure leads
them.
1t must be admitted that they
teach IAN eye for an eye and tooth
for tooth" rather than the gentler
precepts of the golden rule.
In fairyland the arch offenders al
ways have their heads cut off or are
boiled in oil or dance in redhot shoes
till they drop dead. or some other
equally tragic end awaits the con-
summation of their crimes. The
average child, however, has strong
sense of poetic justice, and this is
only satisfied by the complete tri-
umph Of virtue and the entire de-
feat of vice.
The opposer of fairy tales recon-
mends facts to the unspoiled palate
of youth--historica facts, scientific
facts-diluted, if you will, and sweet
ened TO suit the immature mental
taste, but still substantial facts.
There is modicum of wisdom
and common sense in both these
views and much that is neither.
Who that had a heart would de-
prive childhood of that exultant
thrill when Goldilocks jumps from
the window of the little brown house
and escapes the fury of the three
bears? Realistic writers would
doubtless wish us to explain how a
little girl could alight without injury
from a second story window or why
the three bears did not pursue her,
but childhood asks no such ques-
tions. .-MargaretJ. Church in Dona-
hoes Magazine.

Brine on Your Trees.

EDITOR NEWS: Thanks, many
thanks, for your timely suggestion
as to tree planting on Arbor Day
(the 22nd) for the benefit of the
children's home. We have a lovely
block of ground donated by Mr..
Waller Baker and the College
Heights company on the hill, about
half mile northwest Of the Metho-
dist college, bat it has no shade
trees or fruit trees, and there is
plenty of room for both, with good
rich soil TO plant them in. And
now, while we are putting forth our
best efforts TO build q homs for the
little ones, 1t will b. a great help to
us, and great encouragement in our
(sometimes) arduous work, to think
that others, too, feel an interest in
our friendless and destitute children,
and would help TO shelter their
defenceless heads, even with shade
tree, or add to their (all to- poor
luxuries by tho donation of q fruil
tree. Again thank you, and hope
that many will respond with their
offerings. will cheerfully answer
any questions, aud give any assist.
ance In my power to those wishing
TO bring or send trees.
Very respect fully,
