THE LAWS or NATURE.
They Are Intending and Must Re
Obeyed.

Nature has no pardon for ignorance
or illusions. She is no rcspecter of
persons. Her laws and her penalties
consider only what is, and have no deal
ings with semblances. BY this expert
ence we come to know what reality is,
that there is an external world 10 the
demands OF which our senses, our rea-
son, our powers Of action are all con-
cessions. The safety Of each chain of
life is proportional 10 the adaptation
of its links to these conditions. This
adaptation is in its essence obedience.
The obedience of any creature is con-
ditioned on its response in action to
sensations or knowledge. Sense, per
ception and intellect alike stand as adj
visers to its power of choice. The
power of choice involves the need to
choose right. For wrong choice leads
to death. Death ends the chain of
which the creature is a link, and the
life of the world is continued by those
whose choice has not been fatal. That
"the sins of the fathers are visited
on the children" is, in the long run.
the expression of Infinite Mercy, 1.-THE
goodness and severity of God" Sc
verify of condition and stress Of com
petition are met in life by the sur
vival Of those adequate to meet these
conditions. Thus Sin creatures sore
bestead by the environment" when in
stinct and impulse fail, reason rises TO
insure safety. At last with the civilized
man reason comes to be a chief ele-
ment in guiding the choice Of life

THE FUR SEAL.
Some Interesting Information AbOut
the Amphibian.

The male fur seal, or "beachmas-
ter" reaches full maturity at the age
of seven years. At that time his weight
is about 400 to 500 pounds. being con-
siderably heavier when first in from
the sea in the spring, or after feeding
IN the fall, than in. the intervening
period, when he fasts on land and
grows gradually lean and werk. The
males vary considerably in color, the
general shade being black or dark
brown, with longer hair or bristles
of yellowish white. These are espe-
cially long and numerous on the thick
ened back of the neck, forming the so
called wig" The wigged males have
o rough, coarse coat, and their skins
are without market value. The animal
makes its home on the rocky shores
of the islands, in large, closely massed
bands, forming what are called "rook-
cries" 1t is extremely gregarious; in
dividuals seldom venturing far FROM
the main body while on land, though
wandering about singly in the sea. The
female fur seal is much smaller than
the male, and has soft, smooth hair Of
varying shades of brown, under which
is the dense, short, brown fur. The
female bears her first offspring al the
age of three years, but her full growth
is not attained till two or three years
later. The average weight Of the
grown female is about so pounds. The
young of the fur seal, called pup,
is born soon after the arrival of the fe-
male. Its weight at birth is about ten
pounds. The fur seal is polygamous,
each male capable of holding a place
on the breeding grounds having from
one to one hundred females in his
charge, constituting what is known as
a "harem," the average number being
about 3d. But the size of each family
is subject to variation, depending not
chiefly on the strength of the male,
but on the preference of the female for
location, and on the topography OF
the ground. The young male is very
similar TO the female in color and app
pearance. lie is not permitted to enter
the rookeries in the breeding season.
The old males are very particular ia
this regard, and the Bachelors as
they are called, are forced TO herd by
themselves on what are known as the
hauling grounds" located near the
breeding grounds, but distinct from
them. Forum.
