Seals. Salmon, and Sea Liona.

A. K. Peterson, who has been fishing
in the Fraser river, says hat the pack
of fish there and in Alaska is large,
and that the cannery men have already
more fish than they know what to do
with. On the sound fishing is still 60
ing on, and the amount of second-grade
fish packed will be enormous. Mr.. Pc
terson says the fishermen on the Fraser
river and in Alaska attribute the in
creased amount of fish caught yearly tt
the killing off Of the seal herds by
pelagic sealing. AS the fish seem to be
increasing instead of diminishing, not
withstanding the vast quantities
caught, there may be something in this
theory. The hair seals, which frequent
the mouth of the Columbia, eat salmon
and kill lots of them, and probably the
fur seal does the same. A good, healthy
seal should eat a salmon a day, or two
or three of the bluebacks they catch
In the Fraser and in Alaska. The i'm
mense herds of seal which go up to the
Behring sea every year consume vast
numbers. If the herd of sea lions,
which have their headquarters at Seal
rocks, just south Of False Tillamook,
were exterminated the number of fat
hinook salmon coming into the CO.
lumbia would be greatly increased

airy, 1859, Elizabeth issued from the
tower, radiant in the happiness born
of conscious possession of her peoples
love, loyalty and devotion to her per-
son and aims, says the Nineteenth
Century. Her presence animates with
new life the whole mass of human be-
ings crowding the th%oroughfare, and
the air is rent with exultant acclaim
as cheer upon cheer greets her appear
ance among them. Remarks pass
from one to another that she looks
right queenly; that a true daughter OF
great King Hal has come to her own.
There she stands in her sumptuously
appointed chariot, in the full glow of
maidenly beauty; 25, close upon her
26th birthday. She is strong limbed
and well proportional, rather tall than
Of middle height; her hair is light gol-
den and her forehead is high and we'll
rounded; her eyes are brown and live
ly, full of self-restrained life and fire.
The whole of her splendid physique
is harmonized by ~gentleness, grace and
majesty, such as fascinated Essex and
Raleigh and all who came into her
presence. No brighter vision had ever
before broken upon the nation than
now appeared before the admiring gaze
of the %swaying multitude, eager to get
a glimpse of their new queen; and in
the eyes of the old she was Aurora,
ushering in the dawning of a new and
brighter day for England. A new and
imposing feature of her retinue
through the city was a cavalcade Of
"goodly and beautiful ladies, richly ap-
pointed. = y Both they and the
lords were habited in crimson velvet,
with which their horses were also
trapped" This troop of fair eques-
TRANS shed luster upon the procession
and heightened it's interest in the eyes
of the populace, who saw in the alli-
ance of power with grace and beauty
something of romantic charm drawn
from the courts of chivalry.

says Household Words, is disapproved
by the British authorities. Yet the
name, it is alleged, really had an Off
cial origin. Years ago a form was
sent round to regimental offices to
show how a soldier who could not
write was to sign his name, and the
illustrative name was Thomas At
kins. X. His mark" The name caught
on, and eventually became the affec-

No More WhistIing.

There was whistling, whistling by
every bright young lad you met" Be-
ing asked how he accounted for the
change in this respect, he replied:
well, l will tell you one reason. Our
young lads can't whistle now because
they have cigarettes in their mouths"
And there is too much truth In that
remark.
