ANTl-SEALlNG LAW.
Works a Hardship on Residents in the
Vicinity of Niagara Falls.

Works Hardship on Residents in the
Vicinity of Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls, Jan. lathe United
States customs officers stationed at both
bridges have been notified to seize any
thing that looks like sealskins. Nearly
all of the Canadians were notified to
leave their sacks, gloves and caps on
the other side if they did not want
them confscated.
The situation at Niagara Fails is
probably different from that at any
other point on the frontier. Both sides
of the river are thickly settled, and the
Canadian and American populations go
back and forth daily. OnSthe Cana
dian side, back of the high bluff, a
number of wealthy American families
have country seats, and great many
of the women in these families, as we'll
as Canadian women, who wear sealskin
coats, pass over the river to the Ameri-
can side daily, while out driving and
making calls. Several sealskin hats of
Canadians were seized belonging to
gentlemen engaged ON business to Buff
falo and New York, and many a man
went on to his destination tonight
wearing a little travelling cap, after
having left his name and something by
which he could identify his confiscated
headgear.
The law also affects the Canadian
railroads running from Chicago east
ward. These include the Michigan
Central, the Grand Trunk, the Cana
dian Pacific, the Wabash and the Lee
high Valley.
The sealskin garments taken from
their wearers are turned over to the
appraisers at custom-houses, where the
owners, after filing an application, must
wait until notice has been sent to the
secretary of the treasury for decision
in the matter.

French women as Business Helpers.
Miss Anna L. Bicknell writes an ar

Miss Anna l.. Bicknell writes an ar
ticle on. French Wives and Mothers"
for the January Century. She says
In the families where the father con-
ducts any business the wife becomes
his best clerk and usually his cashier.
The wives are exceedingly intelligent
and acute, extremely sharp at driving
bargains, and accurate in keeping ac-
counts They are their husbands part
ners in every sense of the word, and it
is wonderful to see how they acquit
themselves of such a multiplicity Of
duties. Self is completely annihilated;
and if weak health is mentioned, it is
never an impediment to what they have
to do for their children OR their hus-
bands, but is mentioned only as a dis
agreeable accompaniment to necessary
fatigue, without an idea of using it as
IN excuse for shortcomings.

bacco. including cigars and cigarettes, has

patent medicines and nostrums, in all
probability, will also be added to the list.
A rough estimate of the receipts to be
derived from these sources is that the in
crease on these articles alone will approx
innate, If not exceed, $lO0, 100000 a year.
Beer, 1t is thought, will produce an in
crease of s35, 600, 900; manufactured tobacco
an increase of S33,0OO.OO0 or more, and
commercial paper and patent medicines
$32, 100000.
Another source Of revenue which It Is
said Is almost certain to be availed of is
transactions in railroad and other listed
stocks. 1t is believed that the returns
from this source will be large. In all the
figuring so far, the remaining industries
and the professions which were taxed for
strictly war revenues during the rebellion
have been left out of the account. An in
crease Of from to 8 cents on letter post
age and tax on gas and electric lights
have also been suggested to the depart
ment but these items have not yet been
considered. The increase of 1 cent an
ounce on letter postage would probably
augment the receipts by $50. 1000 year.
