The vessels composing the Victoria
sealing feet Of 1895 have now sailed for
the future scene Of their operations, but
with an outlook before them entirely diff
ferent from that Of past seasons. Fifty
four vessels have sailed. and OF this fleet
twenty-six vessels have cleared for the
Japanese seas. leaving the rest to hunt
in British Columbia and Pacific coast
waters. On the latter half OF the fleet 1SS
whites and $50 Indians are employed.
whilst In the japanese fleet out Of Cos
hunters only 100 are Indians. The number
OF Indiana on the coast vessels Il. OF
course. due to the fact that spearing only
Ia permitted under the international reg
uiations. but In several cases entire white
crews have been signed to use the spear.
OF course on vessels on which the gun
will be allowed white hunters receive the
preference. Seals are reported very plen-
tiful on the coast, but even this does not
dispel the gloom under which the present
season opens. Last year hunters In many
cases received $3.50 per skin. and in no
instance did they get less than S. Owing
to the small prices realized In London at
the autumn sales, owners absolutely re-
AuseO 10 oiISE = uASu price 10 LHetf huut-
ers this season, and. after two months
hagglIng. the best the latter could get
was the one-fifth lay. Taking 50 as high
average price last season, hunters will
not this year get over $50 per skin. and
probably not more than $3.50. The wages
OF boat pullers and boat steerers have
correspondingly decreased. and had not
times been so hard on the Coast. 1t would
have been impossible to man the fleet: but
to most of the men It was a question of
go or starve. Many of the best hunters,
who In past seasons made from 1900 to
$3.50 and saved their money, have quit
the business for the present. In several
instances. owners, even at the present
low prices OF wages. could see no possible
profit in the venture, and have let out
their schooners TO the captains upon a
similar lay agreement, rather than go 70
the expense Of Quitting themselves. The
whole seasons catch of the Victoria feet
could have been contracted for at 50 a
skin, but though rumor was current
here for some time past that Liebes &
Co. had offered to take II at So no foun-
dalton for II could be traced. and In fact
mono OF the dealers seemed anxious to
take il at the lower price.

THE COUNTY TREASURES.

The resignation OF DR. Mstten from the
offiea OF county treasurer was the only
proper thing under the circumstances.
Whether Il would not have been better
for flsm 20 have resigned tusuediAkeiy
at the expiration OF his term Is q ques-
ton FRAT II 10 not now necessary to
consider. The people at the polls had
that they were certainly entitled.
1t is also true that J. w. Maple was
duty srd legally elected 10 the once.
He had an undoubted right to assume
control Of the ofsice had he fled a good
and sufficient boud. as required by law
on or before the 1sth day OF January.
This he failed TO do.
Even under the circumstances. how
ever. IL - at least an open question
as to whether or not he 10 not now en-
titled TO tbs Office whenever the bpnd
Is fled and approved. The county com
uiissioners gave Mr.. Maple every op-
poFtunaty 20 die q good bond, and II
was only when the attorney for Mr..
Maple practically admitted the INSULT
cierry Of the FIRST bond offered that they
rejected that bond and at the same
time the bond offered by DIR. Mitten.
Las soon as the bond OF DR.. sMitten
was rejected he insuediately rendered
his resignation. which was promptly
accepted. THIS left a vacancy. which it
was necessary. 10 fill The mat
ter has now been satisfactorily
cleared up to this extent Dr.
Mitten has voluntarily relinquished all
his rights to the Office. All that now
remains TO be done Is for the commits
sioners to investigate the new bond
offered by Air. Maple and IL 1t Is legal
and sufficient to approve 1t.
The prosecuting attorney has given II
as his opinion that the failure OF Mr..
Maple TO qualify within the term pre-
scrfbed by law did not work a forfeit
ure OF the Office. II that Is the law,
then Mr.. Maple is entitled TO the Office
and should have II. IL 1t did work a
forfeiture. then Mr.. Maple would be de-
prived OF the Office by operation OF law
and not by reason OF anything done by
the county commissioners.
This is the entire situation. and the
question at issue should be speedily
settled. In order that Mr. Maple may
secure every right to which he Is legally
entitled In ahe meantime the people
OF King county are entitled to have
their interests protected by the tenn
rorary appointment at least OF u treas
urcr as To whose legal status so hong as
he fills the position there can be no
question.

Prices Of Persian Brides.

A young girl in some Of the Persian
tribes costs her first husband one hun
dred tomans, or about three hundred
dollars. Should the first husband die
the second suitor must pay two hundred
tomans before he can make the widow
his own, and so on each time she
marries, up to her tenth time. This
ascending scale is because her value is
supposed to increase as she gains
greater experience as a carpet weaver
and housewife. The money is paid to
her father, and if he is not living, to
her nearee+ male relative.

IN OLD SCOTLAND.
How The People Got About Ono Hundred
aud Fifty Years Ago.


Theproduce was carried in sacks on
horseback or on sledges, or Gater in
Che century, on tumbrils, which were
sedges on ''tumbling" wheels of solid
wood, with wooden axle trees, all re-
volving together. These machines,
says the Scottish Review, were often so
small that in narrow passage the
carter could lift them bodily, for they
held little more than a wheelbarrow.
They had wheels foot and a half in
diameter, made of three pieces of
wood pinned together Ike a butter
frl1in, and which quickly wore out,
and became utterly shapeless. so that
load of six hundred pounds was enor-
nous for the dwarfsh animals to drag.
Yet even such vehicles were triumphs
of civilization when they came into use,
when the century was young.
Carts are a later invention still, and
when one, in 1928, first carried its tiny
load of Goals from East Kilbride to
Cambuslang, crowds of people,. it is
reported, went to see the wonderful
machine; they looked with surprise,
and returned with establishment. In
many parts OF The lowlands they were
not in ordinary use, even till 1859,
while in the northern districts sledges,
or creels on the backs of women, were
chiefly employed to the end Of the cen
tury. The wretched condition Of the
roads was the chief cause Of the relue-
tant adoption of carts.
In the driest weather the roads were
unfit for carriages, and in wet weather
almost impossible, even for horses
deep in ruts of mire, covered with
stones, winding mp heights and down
hills to avoid swamps and bogs. 1t
was this precarious state Of the roads
which Obliged judges to ride on circuit,
and practice began as physical ne
cessity was retained as a dignifed
habit, so that in 1874 Lord Dun re-
signed his judgeship because he was no
longer able to ride on circuit.

Jack Tar's Roughness Never Manifested
Toward Religion

1t is not the sea that makes sailor a
vulgar animal, but the vices he takes
to it. The life of the sea is bitter and
hard, but it is not so bitterly hard as of
itself to vulgaTize man. THE spirit,
Of the Creator is never so close to one
as at sea, = says Mr.. w. Clark Russell,
the writer OF sea roInances,. and he tells
this anecdote to illustrate how a rough
seaman may be subdued by feeling
of reverence:
A sailor, rough, hectoring, swearing
fellow. asked one of the ship boys to
lend him his Bible "I'm afraid you
VIII make fun of it" answered the boy.
NO, no, my lad" quickly replied the
sailor, Il don't ridicule God Almighty"
The sailor, in common with many lands-
men, has schoolboy fear of derision.
He cannot endure being laughed at,
and therefore hides even the crude re-
ligious feeling which may be in him.
When, however. he stands by his COL
ors, and shows. that a man may be d
good sailor and good Christian, he is.
not likely to encounter derision from.
hls shlpnates.
Il remember being a shipmate, y
writes Mr.. Russell, with fine, INTEL
lectual sailor, man with as refined a
face and as gentle and expressive an
eve as ever met. who during the voy-
age made practice in one Of the dog
watches in fine weather to read the
Bible in the forecastle to such as chose
to listen to him. He could get no hear
ers for a good while, but do not know
that the toughest, most unfeeling fell

He was universally known as a smart

sympathy and of such help as the poor.
