1t has not been commonly supposed
that the ruthless killers Of seals at sea
carefully examined the animal for
trade marks before shooting 1t. Ac-
cordingly it is not quite clear how DR..
Jordan's proposition to brand all the
female seals is to save their lives as
they go swimming through the water
with the tips of their noses sticking out
and the greedy hunter eagerly watch
ing for a chance to shoot. If the skin
prove valueless that does not prevent
them trying again.

A new pest, a moth more destructive
than the gypsy moth, with which
Massachusetts is having such costly
experience, has been imported into that
state and is now busily at work denud-
ing the vegetation in Somerville. More
appropriations, more scientists. The
outlook is not encouraging. How would
1t do for women to establish the fash

upon their bonnets. also for the gov

The man who claims he has a process
for making gold and silver declares the
test made by the government was not
conducted as he ordered it and was
worthless; also that he shall carry the
process to foreign governments. The
question suggested is what does a man
with process for making gold and
silver want of government patent.
He ought to get rich enough for all hu-
man purposes before anyone else can
flood the market with those valuable
metals.

One can hardly expect troubles t,
come singly and if they did some people
would be in distress the greater part
of the time. Still the message that
went from Portland to New Bruns-
wick family few days ago must have
been received much like the last straw.

daughter who had gone to Portland to
earn money for the family of which the
father is apparently hopelessly sick
with kidney troubles. two children died
recently, and the wife and mother is
in failing health.

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
Just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or

ExAcTING DISCIPLINE.

Spartan Severity Ruled Philip Gilbert
Hamerton In His Childhood.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhood, the victim of severe
and cruel discipline. His father was
man Of ungovernable temper and irregu-
lar life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles and whose only idea of
educating boy was to make man of
him. -
His method of teaching the lad to
ride was to accompany him on vicious
black horse, and when little Philip erred
in any of the observances of good riders
to punish him with his heavy hunting
whip The whip had steel hammer at
the end of a long handle, and if at any
time the owner fancied that the child
was turning out his toes he would not
say anything, but with cruel dexterity
deal him blow on the foot, sharp
enough to make him writhe with pain
Yet this Spartan severity had its val
liable side. The elder Hamerton under
stood the Importance of concentration,
and if he saw the boy occupied with
several books would say:
Take one of those books and read it
steadily. Don't potter and play with
half dozen"
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow of a lie, and SO bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes
punished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumbbells g minutes ev-
cry morning. This exercise was taken
In the garden, but before beginning he
always looked at the clock in the sitting
room. One day the father met him and
asked:
Have you done your 10 minutes?"
Yes, papa.
'That is not true" said his aunt
from the next room "He has only prac-
ticed for ten minutes. Look at the
clock +"
The hand stood at 10 minutes past II,
and though the boy protested that he
had begun at ten minutes before the
hour the additional lie'' put his father
in fury, and he was ordered to prac-
tice continually for two hours And,
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 100 minutes
were over, not one of them was remit
ted. Youths Companion.

And the dumb throngs that on the deaf thrones
gaze;
The common, loveless lust of territory;
The lips that only babble of their mart,

Rabbits That Climb.

A correspondent writes to the London
Field that while he was hunting rabbits
with ferrets in January he found rabbits
on three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water of mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. Some months ago
The Field told of other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons or opos-
sums. out of trees in England. In re-
cent years cases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story of rabbits as climbers.
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out Of certain tracts of land in
Australia was by the building of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump over. The rab-
bits have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top of the
fence had to be bent over like ] up
side down, with the hook out, so that
the rodents could not get over the top.
Australian rabbits are said to be learn
ing to climb trees for the leaves

He Had Fallen OF.

Patrick was new man in the light
horse regiment, but his cheerfulness and
witty replies had already established
him as favorite. He had one draw
back, however, and that was his awk-
wardness when on horses back. Nat
urally his position required the opposite
of this, and Patrick worked hard and
faithfully to acquire the ease and natu-
ralness of his comrades when riding. He
congratulated himself that this was at
last accomplished. But one day when
on parade his horse SHE'D and threw him
with considerable force. When he re-
gained consciousness, he found that his
arm had been broken with the fall With
his usual characteristic good humor the
poor fellow smiled in his pain as he said:
well, well, it's too bad. I thought
I had improved in my riding great
deal, but instead l have fallen off. -
