ExrINGUISHING THE SEAL.

News comes from the sealing fleet in
Bering Sea that very few seal are left
in those waters. The indiScriminate
slaughter Of the seal in the open sea
has cut down the number so much that
the Bering Sea patrol has had little
work to do. At one time the seal
fiOcked to the Pribilov Islands by the
tens of thousands. But since the
slaughter of the seal has been permit
ted in the open sea, there are COM
paratiyely few left to come within the
shore limit, which is guarded by the
Bering Sea patrol.
The seal industry. from present ap-
pearances, will soon become extinct
The Boring Sea seal will in a few
years be as much curiosity as the
North American buffalo. During the
last two or three years some seallns
vessels from the Puget Sound have
gone to the Japan Sea and secured bet
ter results than they could in Berins
sea. 1t Is to the interests Of all nations
to protect the seal fisheries. Unfortu'
nately. the United States has very little
encoura cement or help from other ma
lions. Unless England will join with
the United States in prohibiting the
killing of seal in the open sea, for al
least term of years, the seal industry
will soon be entinguished.

GLADSTONE AND ARMENIA.

Mr.. Gladstone's stirring speech on
the Armenian question has the ring OF
other days. His stirring denunciation
of the butcheries and horrors perpe-
trated by Turkish soldiers, recalls his
stirring protests against the Bulgarian
atrocities some years ago. There
ought to be no hesitation on the part
of the English government in COMPEL
ing the sultan to accede to the reforms
demanded. Mr.. Gladstone pledges the
cooperation and support Of the Libcr-
ais to whatever the government may
do in this direction. 1t is not a party
question. but an issue of civilization.
How the moral sentiment of England
turned to Mr.. Gladstone for expression
at such a time as this! II the Liberal
party could have had Mr.. Gladstone at
its head during the last few months. it
would not be out of power today, hui
militia ted and diScredited.

the Breeze and now We know tnat our
hopes were built upon the sand. There
will be no slaughter. What We had I'M
agined to be the roaring Of the cannon
was but the fusilade Of opening pop bot
ties. What We took for the defiant chai-
Ienge as the gage to combat was insulting
and proudly cast at the feet OF the ad-
versary was merely the soft sougnnS OF
the zephyrs through their respective head
coverings. The Breeze contains an adj

changes of pecuniary courtesies are not

TYPHOIDS IN OYSTERS.

In England lately an epidemic Of
typhoid fever has been traced to the
use of raw oysters. This is believed
TO be owing to the propagation and
growth in unhealthy waters at the
mouth of a small river whose principal
Office was that of an outlet for sewage.
The Eagle is assured by medical au-
thorities that such an infection Is pos
sible. The slow growth Of the oyster
from a minute beginning. in unhealth-
full water. makes infection a danger.
The oyster has been a great favorite
from the remotest times. The Greeks
and Romans regarded them as nee
esSary prelude TO the hearty meal OF
the day, at which time they Were
served uncoOked. Some one has told
Us that the oyster of that date WAS
fattened by feeding them wine and
honey. They were then quite an ex-
pensive luxury. Some of the osyters
OF the East Indies have been seen
whose shells were over two feet. and
some found along the coast Of Corom-
andel. near Madras. are capable or
furnishing plentiful meal TO eight or
ten men,
An oyster begins life Ike a little
white disc about the twentieth Of an
inch in diameter, and attaches itself 10
rocks or shells. IL grows about an
inch in diameter each year until about
three inches in breadth when they
grow more slowly. Naturally beds Of
oysters occur on shelly and stony bot
toms. They have their PARASITES and
their enemies: a common one, the star
fish. sometimes swallowing them
whole. Oysters are found IN evSy
part Of the world. but require water
which contains at least 3 per cent salt.

some parts OF South America The

TWILIGHT SONG.

What Is the song that twilight sings
When IL bushes the earth child's muir
muringS.
And fires the shroud that the sunset d.nEs
Ger the dying light OF day?
What is the wonderful melody
That folds the flower and lulls the bee
To sleep and forget his minstrelsyf
And the song words. what are they7
Each sunset ray Is a music bar;
The notes OF the song esch evening star;
And tenderiy sweet its measures are.
-Twixt summers light and dark.
And the words OF the song OF the twi-
lights Groom
Are the silver hush OF the silent moon.
And the verse that the river purls In June
To the drifting thistie's bark.

Martin and his happy consort left the
court room beaming with satisfaction.
The woman occupied a seat in the rear

each other on having been the means

The decision was sound law, and
with the law on its side, and the strong
tide of human tendency in its favor.

This is the sum and substance totai

cities of the state, are with the Eagle.
Men and women members of the very
churches of the preachers who have
made themselves prominent in the

of this paper by the scores with their
Endorsements OF the Eagles course.
Two prominent prohibitiOnists Of this

and challenge any showing to the con-

little of scandal, as little of official

and answered truthfully.
