Seal Hunting a Brutal Industry.

From the Illustrated American.
Seal hunting in its legitimate form upon
land is brutal beyond other industries be-
cause it depends for success upon qualities
that we admire in animals, tractability and
tameness. Attached to the herd there is
a contingent of youthful bachelor" seals.
Their celibacy is enforced by the gruff old
dogs that keep all the love-making to
themselves. 1t is the unfortunate bachelors
that are doomed to lose life as well as
love. They are not needed in the propaga-
ton of the species. The world will not
miss them dead, and women desire their
furs. Aleut Indians, who share the islands
with the seals, separate a few bachelors
from the herd and drive them up the hills,
inland. The docile creatures flop pain
fully along-no movement is as awkward
as the progress of a seal out of water
proceeding by short rushes and long pauses
at the rate of about half q mile an hour
In six hours they reach a secluded killing
ground" The Indians separate them into
groups, select the finest animals, and beat
them to death with clubs--taking care not
to break the furs, lest they be unaccepta-

THREE BRAVE GIRLS.
The Heroic Conduct of Three English Young
Women.

From the London Standard.
The report of the Royal Humane Society
is more than usually interesting this
month. If evidence be wanted of the
strength and courage and hardihood of
our young women, here it is-with ven
geance, old-fashioned folks would add. The
silver medal is granted to Miss Fullerton
of Dudhope Terrace, Dundee; of such he
roine every detail is worth note. Miss
Fullerton was stroling on the Forfarshire
coast, apparently, when she observed a
manufacturer in great distress out at sea-
We are not told whether she threw off any
of her clothes, but since the man was
seized with cramp and was drowning, it is
to be supposed that she did not. The dis
lance was 800 yards and the sea heavy"
but Miss Fullerton swan out, and, Tex
horting the manufacturer to preserve his
presence of mind also .'holding him up
she conveyed him safely until boat
picked them up midway. This is some
thing like record Our fathers would
not have believed it possible for girl to
swim quarter of mile in her clothes
through a heavy sea, but this brave young
athlete actually supported manufacturer
who run to weight as q rule-in the agony
of cramp.
Miss Joan Harris of Belfast also plunged
into the sea without undressing and res
cued grown girl; further circumstances
are not given, but swimmers know that it
was feat, anyhow. Miss Louisa Bright
of Reading, too did not waste time in
preparations when she saw a schoolboy
drowning in the Kennel. 1t is not many
years since swimming was. regarded as q
