BRANDING FEMALE SEALS.
Uncle Sam Will Spoil Their Fur and
Make Pelagic Sealing Improbable.

San Francisco, Cal, May 27.-Dr. Da-
vid Starr Jordan, who will be the Amer
lean scientific representative at the
Pribylov Islands this summer, says
that as the British government has not
come to satisfactory terms with the
United States for the protection of
fur seals in Behring Sea, the United
States will begin this summer, through
the fur seal commission, the work of
branding the female seals on the Pri-
by1Ov Islands.
This will spoil the skins of branded
seals, and so stop pelagic sealing by
making it Improbable.
One of DR.. Jordan's assistants, Elmer
Farmer, expert electrician. has invent
ed an electrical machine for branding
seals. and if it proves satisfactory, it
will do a great deal toward settling the
seal question.
There is a possibility that the female
seals may be corralled on one of the
islands during the sealing season. This
will necessitate building about two
miles of board fence, and it is not GER
tain yet whether lumber can be pro-
cured It will be done if possible.

of loaf sugar and one pint of stock
Cover the pan tightly and simmer the

Make a good plain crust with half n
pound of flour, quarter of pound of
lard, n level teaspoonful of salt, and
ice water enough TO mix together.
Have all your materials as cold as pos
sible, sift the -four into bowl. add
the lard aud salt and chop it with a
knife. When thoroughly mixed,
moisten with the water, little Mt q
time. Take the dough out on a
Toured board, cut it in two pieces and
roll ont one of them for the bottom
crust. Line your plate with the crust,
dip small five-cent paint brush,
which is kept for that purpose, in the
white of an egg, and brush the crust
all over. This will keep the juice of
the berries from soaking into the crust.
Put in your huckleberries, one pint,
and small piece of butter and u
quarter of cup of sugar, cover with
the top crust and bake in a very quick
oven. When rolling out the top crust,
cut hole in the middle of it so that
the steam may escape, or the juice will
run out of the pie into the oven. For
a plain family pie, tuck the top crust
under the bottom all around the edge,
and press them together with the
thumb, and this prevents the juice
from escaping. All fruit pies should
be eaten the day they are baked, or the
under crust will be heavy.

Irons that have once been red hot
will never retain the heat so well again.
All housekeepers should know the
value for household purposes of pow
dered borax.
Morning headaches may frequently
be avoided by having the bedroom
properly and thoroughly ventilated.
Irons should never be allowed to
remain over the firelonger than is nee.
essary, but should be put at once in q
cool place free from dust and smoke.
Red pepper tea is very good for car
pet pests. If the floor is washed in O
solution of one-quarter of pound of
red pepper to one gallon of water it
will do much to drive them away.
Colors that have been taken out can
be sometimes restored by sponging
with weak vinegar. If the color has
been taken out by an alkali, sponging
with chloroform is often effective.
