SEAL PROTECTION.
1t Is Thought Great Britain VIII Aid
In The Work.

1t Is Thought Great Britain Will Aid
In The Work.
New York, Dec. 23-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
AS result of the investigation
made into the sealing question by the
British and American experts, it is
expected by treasury officials that
Great Britain will be more willing to
agree to changes in the award regula-
lions. having in view the better pro-
lection of seal fisheries, than she has
hitherto been.
Negotiations are in progress be-
tween the two governments. Data
bearing upon the report Of the Brit
ish commissioners has reached the
State department and also the final
report of David Starr Jordan, who ex-
amined into the state of the seal herds
for this government.
Prof. Jordan's report says, 1t is said,
that more stringent regulations must
be adopted, If the fur seal is to be pre-
served. He states that the decrease
In the herds is due to pelagic sealing
and he urges that the several govern
ments interested in the industry agree
to regulations which will give thor
ough protection to the seals. In case
no change in the regulations can be
agreed upon Prof. Jordan suggests
that the patrol maintained by the
United States be limited to Behring
sea instead of covering the waters of
the Northern Pacific.
Washington officials have not given
mn hone that Great Britain will con-
sent to the propositions submitted by
Secretary Olney some months ago,
which she rejected at the time, provid-
ing for the appointment of an interna-
tional commission to be composed Of
representatives Of Russia, japan, Great
Britain and the United States to con-
slider the whole question. The secre-
tary also proposed that during the
consideration of the subject, the Beh-
ring sea be closed to fishing.

Rev. Sam Jone says he never

what he thinks OF a little boy. He was
the good boy of the town, and all the boys
recognized him as a good, upright youth,
and set their trap to get him drunk. They
sent one OF the bad boys to him, and he
met him on the street and said !:
"Johnny, come into the saloon and
have a mint julep."

THE AFTFRGL0W.

TITS a witching hour when the sun has set
And the cattle homeward go,
Across the meadows, dewy wet,
In the twilight afterglow.
A hush falls over all the land
As the softly fading light,
Like the lingering clasp of a friendly INT
Bids the old world goodnight"
A nameless some4hing fills the air
That seems to promise rest
TO weary hearts, bowed down with care,
And souls with grief oppressed.
Fen as the roseate western skies
Give promise of new day,
So hope the minds horizon dyes,
And troubles flee away.
In That mystic time, when day and night
Mingle and meet as one,
When they seem to pause in their restless
flight
At the gates of the setting sun.
Then the world seems touched with a wiz
ards wand,
And above, around, below,
Is a glory that neve a painters hand
Was given skill to show.
All nature seems to wear a smile
Beneath that witching spell,
And fancies bright our minds beguile
That tongue nor pen may tell.
Lite is a symphony divine, .
That no discord doth know
In that tangled woot of shade and shine,
The twilight afterglow.
Each life will nave Its afterglow,
And in that hour so dread,
When those who softly come ard go
Shall whisper "He is dead"
May the light of kindly actions done
Hume mem'ry's sky,
And clothe the path of our last sun
With immortality.

small articles of clothing over his

began to pull on one small stocking.

"WelI. how does 'Gumma' do it ?"
asked papa, pausing for instruction.
"Dis-a-way," said Jack. taking up one
foot, and then carefully grasping a fat toe
in his chubby hand.
"Here, Mishter Toe, you an your bruz-
zers mus go into your little black hous'.
Now don't begin to wiggle. One, two,

stockings over his five toes and up to his
knee. Then, looking up into his papa's
face, he said, "See?"
"Yes," said papa, smiling. "Here goes

"Of courth," said Jack, looking at
papa with surprised eyes.
"Well, papa hasn't the time. So let
me get you into your clothes quick,
before the breakfast bell rings"
So Jack had to submit to being dressed
in a hurry, without his grandmother's
pleasant ~romancing.
The minute he got down stairs he went
to his mamma and asked:
"Fen's my gumma comm homer"
"She's coming home tomorrow" said

.'Ave, Maris Stella"

Slowly the procession moves on till il
reaches an altar built up against the
ramparts of st. Malo, a mass of rocks,
a boat dashing up against them, the
foot draped with long grasslike seaweed
and on the rock the Virgin standing
with hands outstretched, as If in greet
ing. The boat is filled with tiny boys,
dressed like the others in white and
blue as sailors, and as the crowd presses
up and the procession passes along slow
ly the boys in the boat kneel, and lifting
their hands toward the Virgin they be-
gin to sing, cave, Maris Stella, Del
Mater Alma!'
The sun shines brilliantly ON the
white wells Of the girls, ON the banners.

shines on the upturned faces of the
crowd, ON the rocks and the boat, on
the white Virgin and the little children
that kneel and sing to her. And beyond
1t shines on the sea, SO blue today, so
infinitely calm.
There was a schooner came home
lately bringing with it some men from
a goelette wrecked in a storm off the
Newfoundland Banks. They had been
picked up half dead floating on spars,
and they said that in the storm, them
selves beyond hope, they had seen an
other boat sink near them. She had
gone down with her crew kneeling on
her deck and singing: cave, Maris
Stellal Hail, Star of the Sear' The
name of her was not known. Only she
was lost, she and her crew that sang as
these children were singing now, and
who, perhaps long ago, when they were
little lads, had themselves been chosen
to sing and kneel in the boat dashing
upon the mimic rocks at the feast of
the Rosary. She was lost, she and her
crew. These are the Terreneuvas, or
Newfoundland fishermen, Who do not
come home. -Macmillan's Magazine.

The old man who looks ont at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought
that his children have inherited from him
no weakness nor tendency to disease.
The healthy old man is the man who has
throughout his life kept his digestion
good and his blood pure. Not one in a
thousand does do i5. Germs go through
the healthy body without effect. Let
them once find Judgment or let them find
a weak spot. they will develop by the
million and the blood will be full of them.
Instead of giving strength to the tissues,
it will force upon them inDutritious mat
ter, and the man will lose flesh and the
more susceptible he is to disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
only medicine that absolutely and infalli-
bly, cures all blood diseases, and almost all
diseases are blood diseases. 1t isn't a
medicine for some one particular so.called
disease. 1t is a medicine for the whole
body. It forces out all the germs of
disease, and replaces impurities with rich,
