Va, June 2, 1866 on the back of a Confed-

And naught in the waters below it;

To the tale that this paper can tell
OF liberty born of the patriots dream,

Too poor to possess the precious ores.
And too much of a stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promises to pay,
Hoping to redeem on the morrow
But days flew by weeks became years,
Our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce our treasured quake
If dollar would drop in the till.
We knew 1t had scarcely a value in gold
Yet as gold the soldiers received it;
1t looked in our eyes promise to pay
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But the faith that was in us was strong in
deed
And our poverty well we discerned;
And the little checks represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
But our boys thought little Of prize or pay,
Or of bills that were overdue;
We knew II II brought US our bread to-day
Twas the best our poor country could do.

From the birth of the dream TO its last;
Modest and born of the angel hope,
Like our hope OF success 1t passed.

Will you please give a brief history of
the Boring sea controversy between this
country and England?-Senior.
The Boring sea controversy began more
than ten years ago. In 1890 the North Amer
lean Commercial Company succeeded the
Alaska Commercial Company in the lease
of the PribyIoff or Seal islands, with the
right to take 100000 seals on those islands
each year. Meantime the Canadian sealers,
many, If not most, of whose vessels were
owned by Americans, carried on the cap
ture of seals by shooting them while they
were swimming; it has been claimed that
five seals shot were lost for every seal
picked up In 1891 the United States claimed
that Boring sea was a mare clausum, or
closed sea, in which only Americans could
enter. The Canadians objected to this claim
and England supported them. Both sides
agreed on a close season from May 1891, to
May, 1892, this was extended and both sides
agreed to arbitrate the matter, and a modus
vivendi was arranged. Under this $500 seals
could be killed by the natives; no one else
could kill any and both sides were to keep
patrol vessels in the sea to prevent poach-
ing. The court of arbitration met in Paris
on March %. 1858, and on Aug. Is handed
down its decision in favor of Great Britain
In every case. 1t drew up regulations "ror

SHARK HOOKS.
Fitted with n Length of Stout Chain
That the Shark Can't Bite Through.

Fitted with u Length of Stout Chain
Thntthc Shark Can't Bite Through.
Shark hooks are made in various
sizes, ranging in length from five inches
TO IA inches, and in width from ia
inches to 3H inches. They are pro-
vided with o. chain and swivel, the
chain of the various sized hooks rang
ing from 10H inches to 90 inches sin
length. Shark hooks with chains sell
from 80 cents to two dollars, says the
New York Sun.
Shark skin and shark oil are utilized
for some purposes, and in NIediter-
ranean countries young sharks are
eaten; but the catching of sharks for
profit is mostly confined to Europe.
Here they are taken mainly for sport.
Every coasting vessel is likely to carry
a shark fishing outfit, and every fisher
man is sure to, and shark tackle is
often carried on yachts. Fishermen
may catch sharks to get them out of
the way so that they will no longer pur-
sue and disturb the fish. On a coast
er if they run across sharks the men
are likely to fish for them just for fun;
and shark fishing from the yacht would
also be q diversion. 1t may be that
in shark fishing from a yacht the owner
will try his skill ON the shark with
rifle, killing it before it is hauled
aboard.
Sharks are sometimes mounted by
the taXidernist as show pieces for ex-
hibition purposes, but they are never
mounted whole as trophies. Occasion

SEEING AND BELIEVING.
Some of the Tricks the Eyes Play on
the Understanding.


1t is an old and wise saying that "sec-
ing is believing" yet everybody knows
that very often what you see, and there
fore believe, proves to be not really true
at all. As we grow older, says writer
in ST. Nicholas, finding that our eyes
have so frequently deceived us, we are
often not satisfied until we have verified
it by touch or smell or hearing or taste,
or by looking at some doubtful thing
from different points of view, or under
q different lighting.
We are not willing to believe that a
conjurer actually draws rabbits from
a. mans ear or coin from the tip of his
nose just because our eyes tell us such
tales. Sometimes our deceptions are
so lasting that things must be. made
wrong in order to look right, which
seems rather contradictory. If we look
at the letter S or the figure as care
fully as we can the upper and lower
halves seem to be almost exactly the
same size. If we turn them upside down,
the difference in the size of the loops is
quite astonishing, and we wonder how
we could have been SO mistaken; vet
perhaps the truth is that the loops are
neither so different nor so much alike
as they seem to be, as we see when we
look at them turned upon their sides.

Mr.. L: e. Smith, of this City, Shares in a
Splendid Well.
The many friends of Mr.. l.. E. Smith,
of this city, are congratulating him
upon his luck in being a part owner in
one of the finest wells yet drilled in
the Elk Fork field. The well in
question is known as the Crawford and
Treat on the Hawkins farm and was
drilled through the sand on Wednes-
day and shows for 25 barrels an hour.
1t is certainly a beauty.
