ANSWERS UNCLE SANS CLAIMS.
North American Commercial Company
Sends in a Bill.

Sends in Bill.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-In the United
States circuit court the North American
Commercial company put in its answer
to the claim of the United States govern
ment for $3.50, 1880 on account of alleged
breach of contract and handed in bill to
the government for $3.50. 125 for alleged
loss of profit arising out of the same con-
tract. The agreement in question was
entered into between the commercial
company and the United States in March,
1880. 1t gave the company exclusive
right to catch seals about the islands of
st. George and St. Paul in Alaska, for
which the United States was to receive an
annual rental of 5000 for twenty Years
and S1.C61a for each seal captured in
addition to a revenue of g for each seal
sent here by the company.
The government alleges that the COM
pany caught 1900 seals during the first
year, for which it demands $57, ,lS7 in
addition to the $4,000 for rent. The com.
pany says that part of these skins were
caught by the natives and shipped by the
company, which never was allowed the
exclusive right as guaranteed in the con-
tract. They offer S15r, 200, the amount of
revenue tax and no ore. The company
alleges tnat it had a right to seize &C, COO
seals the first year and 100, 900 each sue
ceeding year, but while the negotiations
with Great Britain were pending it was
prohibited from catching any SEALS and
thus suffered loss Of S2S3. .725 1t was to

All Was Beauty in the 0ldsn Days.

In those rose and-lavender. scented
days in the beginning of the century all
men were chivarous and all women
beautiful; at least so we are led to be-
lieve by art, by romance, and by our
grandmothers. Who ever bad grand
mother, or maiden aunt, or elderly fe-
male relative of any degree, for that
matter, who was not beauty in her
youthp And if we can trust these
sources of information, there were no
winters in those days, no clouds, no
broken hearts; there was no poverty,
no misery. Our ancestors were gay and
debonair, dressed like Brummels and
Recamiers, and drank tea out of old
fashioned china cups-whieh, by the
way, were not old.fashioned then-in
shady arbors, or whispered poetry and
high-flown compliments in garden walks
between trim hedges of clipped box.
And they were always in love, too--at
least the men were; the girls, ] am
told, were arrant fiirts. But then it
was graceful, philosophical sort of
love that relieved itself in tender verse,
and was as happy in being trampled on
as in being smiled on. We believe all
this because the old ladies that we
know have had so many love affairs,
and never strike tragic note in telling
of them, but sometimes laugh till the
tears fill the cracks and crevices around
their eyers as spring rains ill dry
bitches. eyes," we think, and sigh
"all was comedy and sunshine" -

Infant Mortality.

While the heat of the summer months.
proves fatal to so many babies, it is
gratifying to note that, during the hot
months of the present year, the death
rate of infants in the large sea board
cities has been lower than formerly.
This is largely due to the introduction
of floating hospitals. The doctors have
discovered that salt air is one of the
best medicines for cholera infantum,
and every one knows that pure, fresh
food is necessary for azure. That is
why these hospitals have been started ia
cities like New York aud Boston. The
floating hospital is barge, fitted up
with co.'s and hammocks, and supplied
with plenty of fresh milk. Daily, hun
dreds of sick babies selected by the
doctors from the very poorest families,
go on board with their mothers and are
taken down the harbor where the fresh
sea breezes blow. Trained nurses
teach the mothers. to sterilize milk so
that it will not spoil. The pure air
does magical work for the little ones.
Babies that were almost dying when
taken on board frightened up in two
or three hours, and many little lives
were saved by this humane charity.
Every city on the sea board ought to
have its floating hospital.

The woman violinist is still sufficiently

com paratively few of such musicians tho
soloist Miss Bertha Bchrends, is conspicu-

At the early age of years the golden
haired little girl tried to initiate the mu-
steal proclivities of her elder sister with
such success that short time later, before
she was indeed, she was duly provided
with music master and the violin select.
ed as the proper instrument to develop her
decided talent. Much of the young girls
success is due to the careful training Of
her mother, a lady of fine musical taste,
whose encouragement to her daughter was
invaluable. No hour was too early to find
her risen that she might sit by the prac-
ticing child, listening and criticising while
she knitted or embroidered.
Miss Behrends' first public performance
was at the age of at church CONGO =.
Her childish appearance as she stepped on
the platform in white DRESS her long
golden curls falling about her shoulders,
amazed the audience, whose wonder soon
gave way to delight as the little girl began
to play.
When she was IL years old, her teacher,
Mr.. G. A. Allen of Boston, the famous VIC
linist, was obliged at the last moment to
give up playing at a musicale for which he
was announced. Rheumatism of the wrist
had seized him with disastrous result
His young pupil, however, was selected to
take his place. and before a critical audi
ence she gave the selection that was to
have been rendered by her teacher, win
ming the highest praise 1t was at this
very early age, too, that she had the dis
tinction to play with Camilla Urso.
Miss Behrends has made her homo lat
terly in New York, where her delight i
talent has been much appreciated. she can
justly be called one of the best Of Ameri-
can woman violnists.
In personal appearance she is of a pure
blond type, tall and graceful, and gifted
with modes y of manner that is most at
tractive.-New York Mail and Express.
