THE PLAYFUL SEAL.
Lots OF Fun In Juggling Things In the
Water with It's WhisLers.

Lots OF Fun In Juggling Things In the
Water With Its whiskers.
Seals have ON either side Of the nose
a little scattering bunch of whiskers or
bristles something like cats whiskers.
The bristles Of the hair seal-the species
at the aquarium at Battery park-are
not so long as those Of the fur seal, but
they are three or four inches in length,
and they are white and slender and fiex-
ible. The older of the aquarium seals,
which has been there about 2% years,
gets lot Of fun out Of its whiskers. It
juggles things in the water with them
for hours at time
There may be floating in the pool a
fragment of fish skin, for instance, left
from the last feeding. The seal will
swim under this and raise it on the tips
of its slender bending whiskers. The
fragment floats away or lodges off with
the agitation Of the water caused by the
seals motions. and the seal swings its
head under it and raises it again on its
whisker tips. If it slides down a wave
that the seal has raised, the seal swims
after 1t. The seal is u very rapid and
graceful swimmer. Sometimes this seal
when it has tossed up the fragment Of
fish skin In this way will turn over in
the water with swift spiral movement
and catch the fish skin ON its bristles
again when it comes up. 1t is some
thing like a man tossing things up In
the air and then turning round and back
in time to catch them when they come
down.
For hours at a time, as kitten plays
with ball, the seal juggles this frag-
ment floating in the water.-New York

slOpinE Shoulders.

And now, says a New York fashion
writer, comes the disagreeable news
that In foreign fashion centers sloping
shoulders are to reign. We have it
ON undoubted authority that the leop-
ard cannot change his spots nor man
add one cubit to his stature, yet will
the modern exponent Of fashion ex-
ercise her ingenuity in the alteration Of
the anatomy above the shoulders. For
many years we have worn cur shoulders
up to our ears, so TO speak. Now all is
to be changed, and the fashionable
woman must assume the virtue Of glop-
ing shoulders, though she have it or
not. Seams from neck to shoulder point
are to be heightened, and all fullness
that remains in the top Of the sleeve
will tend in a downward direction. The
shoulders proper will remain where they
are, but will look as If they had received
direct impetus toward the elbow.

THE MOST ICY SPOT.
WerkojanlS, Siberia, Is the Coldest Regio
of the Globe.


of the Globe.
The coldest region Of the globe, that
of Werkojank, in Siberia, where the low
est temperature Of go degrees f. has
been observed, and the mean Of January
is -48 degrees F., is inhabited by about
10, 500 persons of the Jakut and Lamut
races. In large part Of the region, ac-
cording to the representation OF Mr..
Sergius Kovalik, in the bulletin Of the
Geographical society of Irkutsk, the air
is so dry and winds are so rare that the
intensity of the cold is not fully realized.
Farther east there are sometimes terri
BILE storms. In the summer time the
temperature sometimes rises to SO de-
grees F. in the shade, while it freezes
at night. The latter part of this season
is often marked by copious rains aud ex-
tensive inundations
Vegetation is scanty. There are no
trees, only meadows. The people hunt
fur bearing animals, fish and raise cat
tie and reindeer. 1t requires about
eight cows to support family, four be-
ing milked in the summer and two in
the winter. The cattle are fed hay in
the winter and are allowed to go out Oo-
oasionally when it is not too cold, their
teats being carefully covered up with
felt. Milk is the principal food, occa-
sionally supplemented with hares, which
are quite abundant. The houses are of
wood, covered with clay, and consist of
one room, in which the people and their
animals live together. The wealthier
classes are better provided with lodging
and food. The people are very hospita-
BILE, but excessively punctilious concern
ing points of honor, such as the place at
table.-Popular Science Monthly.

ONE OF THE OLDEST SHIPS.
An American Bark Built In 1704 Still

An American Bark Built In 176A Still
Doing Duty.
The bark True Love, built in Phila-
delphia in 1854, has been found upon
search to be yet aflOat in the capacity Of
a coal hulk, engaged in active trade.
This discovery was made through cas-
ualty recorded in the Maritime Exchange
as follows: True Love, barge, was in
collision with schooner Gravesend of
London, off Gravesend, and had port
quarter damaged to such an extent that
it was found necessary to tow her into
Rochester, and she arrived at that place
in charge Of the tug Commerce. The
true Love has not only Outlived her
builders and their successors, but has
also Outlived every craft that was built
in her time and for many years after
ward, and this fact, coupled with the
report that the historic craft is still en-
gagged in active pursuits, places Phila-
delphia at the very top notch as a ship
building center.
In 1854, when this famous old craft
was launched OH the banks of the Della
ware, although her length was but 90
feet 8 inches, she was then the largest
vessel of commerce that the Delaware
had ever flOated. Contrast this with the
dimensions of the huge Hamburg Amer
ican Packet company steamship Penn
sylvania, whose length is 587 feet, and
one will be amazed with the magnitude
Of the modern ship of commerce. The
True Love, upon being completed, sailed
away from Philadelphia early in 1895,
and no record is had of her return to
this city until Aug. 20, 1878, when, at
the age of 100 years, she came into port
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with cargo
of kryOlite in command of Captain
Thomas Nathaniel, consigned to B.
Crowley. She was discharged here and
surveyed by the American Lloyds in
October, 1878, and sailed away, never
to return again. Upon her arrival short
ly afterward in London she was sold
and turned into a coal hulk, in which
capacity she still serves.
The dimensions of this famous True
Love are: Length, 96 feet inches;
beam, 26 feet inches; depth Of hold,
II feet. She measured 296 tons register,
and, like all old craft, carried very lit.
tie more cargo.
The discovery that there was still
afiOat a Philadelphia built vessel of such
an age has caused much comment OF
the floors of the Maritime Exchange,
and some shipping men are of the opin.
ion that this old craft should, if posi-
BILE, be purchased as a relic. Records
show that the True Love was for time
owned in Hull, England, by G Dab
previous to her purchase by John s.
Ward Of London, and during that time
she was engaged in the Baltic trade

THE RAINBOW IN THE SPRAY.

The tide is foul that sweeps about the town
A yellow, turbid Disseminating flood
OF city refuse mixed, and oil and mud.
But when a ferryboat, big, ugly, brown,
Against the gale of March comes numbering
down.
The waves she filings to either side are bright
With spray as dazzling in the SUMS keen
light,
As white, as fair, as pure as snow at dawn.
And in the spindrift from each chopping crest
The colors of the rainbow meet and play.
So in each life, however dull and gray,
There comes some breeze of fortune at It's best,
Cheering tho heart with love or hope or rest
And shining like the rainbow in the spray.
