HCUNTIES IN SEALS.
Maine Stin Pays a Bounty and Last YeaA
Raised 1T.

Maine Still Pays n Bounty and Last yeaA
Raised 1T.
Maine paid bounties on 1862 seals
and on 305 bears in 1895. In 1894 only
3S5 seals and $50 bears were killed. The
increase of seal killing is due to so
cent increase of the bounty, making it
one dollar. The bears have been thinned
out by extensive killing. Why there
should be bounty on seals is plain,
says the New York Sun, to those who
know that in a single year seal con-
sumes $3.50 pounds of fish, which would
make 5000, 300 pounds saved by the
killing of 1868 seals in 1895. Most of
the fish eaten are grained, such
as are used in batting lobster pots
sculpins, founders, ltomcods, etc.-but
not few valuable fish, like herring,
salmon and Inackarel, are killed by
these animals. Much difficulty is ex-
perienced by seal hunters in securing
all of the animals killed. Many badly
wounded ones escape. and probably
more than 1000 seals were killed during
1895.
No one knows exactly why bounties
are paid on black bears. They are harm
less animals, according to competent OBJ
servers, feeding on beechnuts, wild
fruits of various kinds, on carrion, and
roots of plants, seldomif ever molesting
farmers in any way. Maine pays five
dollars and New York. ten dollars a
head for killing these good-natured
creatures.

DOG BURIES a CAT.

Little Psychological Speculation Con
corning the Incident
a dog and a cat, belonging to the same
master, were the best friends IN the
world, and spent their time in froliclxing
together. One day, while playing an
usual. the cat died suddenly, falling at
the dogs feet. The latter, at first, did
not realize what had happened, but
continued his play, pulling, pushing
and caressing his companion. but with
evident establishment at her inertness
After some time he appeared to under
stand the situation, and his grief found
vent in prolonged bowls. Presently he
was seized with the idea OF burying the
cat. He pulled her into the garden,
where he Soon dug hole with his paws,
and put in the body of his former COM
panion. He then reflled the hole with
dirt, and. stretching himself out ON the
grave, resumed his mournful bowling.
The idea Of burying the cat was ex-
traordinary. Whence came the thought
fulness? Could il be imitation, or,
which is a better explanation, did the
dog have vague idea Of concealiDg the
event which might be imputed to him?
But then il would seem unreasonable
for him TO call attention TO the fact
by installing himself on the grave and
bowling. However, even human Grim
inals are sometimes equally incon-
sistent. It is difficult TO form an exact
idea of what gave rise to the dogs con-
duct In this case.
