sAYkEvlLLE'S AMAZING HUES.

symphony Of Blue.

a jersey Blasphemy In Yellow Set In \
Symphony of blue.
Probably the most remarkable bit Of
color to be found within a radius of 100
miles from this city is the little hamlet
of %Sayreville, N. J. From an artists
point of view Sayreville Is impression
istio in the nightmare sense of the word.
Its surroundings are beautiful, for it
stands on a little bluff overlooking a
spreading marsh, through the center Of
which a sparkling river runs to lose
itself in a rift of the faraway hills. The
marsh is a dull, grayish blue, the river
gives a steel blue effect, and far away
the distance of the hills blends in soft
gradations into the hue of tho sky. In
the midst Of this gem of q landscape
stands S~ayreville, yellow in every sense
Of the word. 1t is a b~lasphemy in yell
low set in a symphony in blue.
In the n~eighboring villages there is q
legend as to how S%ayreville became yell
low. They say that when the town was
first built there wasn't a painted house
in it, and that day an enterprising
peddler on his notion selling rounds
saw in this IN opportunity for money
making. He procured a large quantity
Of damaged paint at a nearby city, all
Of the paint being in various hues of
yellow, from bright orange down to the
dullest buff. This paint he carted to
Sayreville and sold at low prices, and
still with large profit to himself. Then
the town set about painting itself yell
low. Some of the people pooled their
interests and their paints and ornament
ed their houses with the combination.
Others ran to stripes, and having used
up Il tint filled in with the rest. One
man tried polka dots in chrome on q
background of greenish buff, with bril-
liant effect. When the work was done,
the peddler came back with a big con-
signmenS Of staring green, which the
t~ownspeople bought, and with which
they painted their blinds. The result
was pleasing to the ~Sayrevillers, but
startling to such few outsiders as
CHANGED TO journey to that town.
In the course of time two household
ers found courage to break away from
the prevailing yellowness. One repaint-
ed his house in robins egg blue, the
other tinted his a deep magenta, and
now these two buildings stand out con-
spicuously and give just enough color
tone to the village to accentuate its
amazing effects in yellow New York
Sun.

Orange Trees.

An orange grove in full bearing is
n Of the most delightful sights the
eye can witness. The trees are a beau
tiful shape If left as nature made them.
The limbs come nearly to the ground
SO close that an orange picker goes nm
der the tree fiat on his back and often
cuts 100 oranges from the tree before he
comes out. Oranges are never picked,
but are cut off with shears having q
spring between the handles. Ap orange

WHY NOT S2
MUTIlATlON OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
Known as "Worming."

Nar Emu laii ropping and the Operation
Known as "Worming."
The fashionable mutilations to which
the dog has been subjected are three in
number-ear and tail cropping, and the
strange operation known as worm
ing" Though the law prohibits the
performance Of the operations which
lead to these mutilations, yet at least
two of them are still carried out surrep-
titiously, and the third, "~worming,"
may also be practiced. At any rate |
have seen it done in my young days. 1t
and the tail cropping can boast of a
venerable antiquity, and they also had
their raison d'etre in q superstitious be-
lief in their efficacy in preventing mad
ness or rabies. So long as the time of
Columella, the Roman writer on agri-
culture, the mutilation of the dogs tail
was a popular and favorite procedure.
As he tells us in his "De Re Rustica'
that the shepherds believe that if, on
the fortieth day after the birth of a pup,
the last bone of its tail were bitten off,
the sinew believed to be a worm) would
follow the piece, after this the tail
would not grow and the dog could not
become rabid.
This superstitious notion has prevailed
for ages, and may still be entertained
in certain quarters. However this may
be, the fashion Of removing a portion of
the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite
common, ard ii it is done with a view
to the prevention of madness, it is at
any rate considered most, desirable Tor
these animals to have a short, blunt tail,
because it improves their appearance.
Some dogs have scarcely any tail left.
I have seen grooms and dog fanciers bite
off puppies tails as a matter of bust
| IS, and some Of these people have
shown me a fragment of sinew attached
to the amputated portion as the worn
in the tail"
1t should be noted, in speaking of this
fashion, that a mongrel dog has been
termed a "cur" (Latin curtus, or crop
tailed because it usually had the tail
shortened, and according to ancient Sor-
est laws, a man who had 10 right to the
privilege of the chase was obliged to
cut off the tail of his dog, on the plea
that, if a dog has no tail to act as a
rudder, he cannot hunt game. MING

SEALING IN
Fields Many Miles Square Fairly Teeming
With Seals.

Fields Many Miles Square Fairly Teeming
With Seals.
Late in February the Newfoundland
sealing steamers break through the ice
in st. Johns harbor and make their
way to some northern outposts, lying
there until March 10, the earliest date
ON which the law allows them to ''go
to the ice They stand out to sea until
they meet the immense fields Of ice
from the Arctic ocean. These fields are
often many square miles in extent and
fairly TEEN with seals. A great seal
hunter told me that the sea seemed
suddenly converted into an ocean of
seals and ice. The steamer breaks into
the jam and floats with it or skirts
along the edge, the crew, 200 or 800 in
number, taking to the floating ice and
living there for days and nights.
The young seals fatten so rapidly that
sealers say you can actually see them
grow while you are looking at them.
The poor creatures are easily killed, a
blow with the butt end of a gait finish
ing them. The hunter then "sculps, !"
OF skins them, inserting a sharp knife
under the fat, and with marvellous dex-
terity taking off the ''pelt"-skin and
fat together-in about a minute and a
half. A party of men will pan their
pelts-pile them up to the number of
about 1000 and thrust a gait with the
ships flag into the pan. When there
are pans enough, the steamer breaks in
to the ice and hauls them aboard with
a donkey winch. or the men drag them
to the vessels side.
The Newfoundland seal hunters al
ways speak of seals as 'swiles,' and
for u word carry they say ''spell." A
s~choolmaster who had been listening to
a seal hunters story said sneeringly:
"Swiles! How do you spell swiles?''
1--WE don't spell EN- replied the
hunter; 1--WE most generally hauls

and have been looking over the
mill, logs and camps preparatory

now and will begin saving about
March 21st, as it is expected the
mill will be repaired by that time.
They will cut some 100000

Frank Brogan had dangerous
experience Saturday morning. He
was passing through the single
mill and stepped on board over
the we'll when it gave way and let
him to the bottom, a distance of
% feet. Six punches of shingles
went down on top Of him and it
was thought be was killed. But
On removing the shingles he was
found standing straight up in one
corner Of the we'll partly uncon-
scious. He was taken to the Park
Hotel, where the doctor found a
rib fractured and the breast pretty
badly injured and his face cut up
some. He don't appreciate pneu-
matte travel very much.
