that Professor Thompson secured from
C. NJ. Simpson & Co. figures which were
so strongly in favor of the American con-
tention that he suppressed them. Most
of the natives and old residents on the
islands testified to Professor Thompson
that the dead pups found in such large
numbers died because their mothers had
been killed by the traders, but this sub
ject, he AYERS, was touched upon very
lightly. although admitting that half of
them died from that cause. The state
ment that many pups are killed by bulls,
drowned in the surf or smothered in the
sand. he contradicts, and he indorses the
contention of Professor Jordan, who
made the investigation for the American
government, that only two pups per-
ished from other causes than from loss es
of their mothers.

Bering Sea with $4,000, of which 1000

lector was imposed upon by masters of

Had he examined the returns, as is now
done in the United States, and according
to the Paris treaty, he would have found
the returns to have been false. as could
have been proved by London dealers.

YOUNG MEMS POPULARITY.
Amiability, Kindness, rlanIiness
Integrity, Are Its Foundation.

To the query, Are young men who
cannot from religious convictions play
cards, dance or attend the theater, apt
to be popular with young women of re-
flnement and education who do indulge in
such amusements?' Edward W. Box, in
Problems for Young Men, in the La
dies Home Journal" responds:
why certainly; why not? The
amusements in which a man indulges
have nothing to do with his outward at
tractiveness or popularity. 1t is the
way in which a young man carries him
self in his department that makes or
mars his popularity with girls or men.
One of the most popular and delightful
fellows l know in New York has never
been inside of a theater, although he is
30 years of age. Nor has he ever
danced or played cards. He was a per-
sonal friend for ten years before
knew that his religious principles pre-
cluded his indulgence In these amuse-
ments. His secret is that he does not
carry his convictions on his sleeve for
everybody to rub against And of his
popularity with women. young and
mature, can assure you absolutely. He
reads about the new plays, and can,
therefore, talk about them If they come
up in conversation. If asked If he has
seen certain actor or play he merely
replies in the negative. Never does he
force his convictions upon others. y
young mans popularity with either sex
rests upon something more than his
forms of usement--amiability OF
manner. kindliness. a pleasant address.
manly outlook on life, honorable prin-
ciples-all these go far toward insurins
popularity

Canadians, and he was proud to say it.
that Colonials though they were they
did not believe the sun shone on freer
country than this, and they felt graft
