NET AN AWFUL FATE.
Forty Eight Seal Hunters Froze to Death
In Gale or Greenland.

St. Johns, N. F., March 2S.-The
Greenland has sailed into the harbot
with grewsome cargo. twenty-five
IS men were groaning with terrible suf-
fering in the holds from the pain Of
frostbitten limbs and bodies. The little
sealing steamer which sailed for the
hunting grounds three weeks ago re-
turned as an awful charnel house. The
dead bodies were in tiers on the decks Of
the steamer, disdgured and almost I'M.
recognizeable from the effects Of the ter
rible suffering which they had endured,
presenting one of the most horrible
sights human eyes ever beheld.
The Greenland set sail from St. Johns
about March on her awful voyage.
She was commanded by Captain George
Barbour, and carried a crew of nearly
800 hunters. The steamer proceeded
northward, but after couple of days
she diverged on a separate track and
reached the hunting grounds not long
after. All went well until Tuesday
last, and seals were quickly encoun-

ers left the ship about z O'Clock as usual,
when the lookout In the crows nest re.

men were clad in light clothing, for the
slaughtering Of seals is exhausting work.

steamer. Long ere the storm subsidized
many Of the unfortunate fellows had
succumbed to the terrible cold and ex.
pqsure. Those who did not were terri
bly, frostbitten and suffered excruoiatins
pain.
The long night passed but morning
brought no help for the storm still ragged
and the atmosphere was thick with
snow driven by the gale. Snow con-
tinued nearly all day and the evening
brought no cessation to the high wind.
Another night, one which seemed to
the helpless, drifting sufferers, who still
lived, thousand times longer than the
first, was passed In untold agony. Some
Of the victims had already given up hope
and in dispair lay down and died, and
every hour witnessed at least two deaths
on that awful night on the ice foe. To
ward morning the storm subsidized and
clear weather enabled the survivors to
see that the Greenland was not far away,

He Was Not So Smart.

"No," said the man with the large
head, II can't say that think very
much of the fox in the old fable of the
fox and the grapes. 1t is recorded of
him that after trying to get the grapes
by every way that his ingenuity could
suggest he finally turned up his nose
and said, oh, don't care; they re
souri,
Now, if that fox had had any COM
mendable wisdom in his triangular skull
he would have looked at the grapes
blandly and then announced to the
world that they were sweet, but that
sweets didn't agree with him; that,
owing to the condition of his stomach,
he considered it inadvisable to eat any
thing containing saccharine matter, and
that, besides, a properly philosophical
fox believed in self denial and in taking
things that were easily at his disposal
instead of trying to climb a trellis to
secure attractive but deleterious grapes.
IF he had done that, instead of being
the laughing stock OF succeeding genor-
atoms he would have stood a good
chance Of being appointed professor OF
philosophy at the varsity and of living
On yellow legged chickens the rest OF
his natural life. "-Strand Magazine.

In the house where ferns are kept in
duce by means of evaporation, syring-
ing or spraying as much moisture to the
air as possible, for they generally do
not successfully withstand dry, parch-
ing atmosphere. For the purpose of
retaining moist air about the plant
Wardian cases or ferneries are often
used with good success or glass bell
placed over the plant part of the time
It is we'll to bear in mind also that
ferns, with the exception of the hardy
upland sorts, grow in moist, shaded
places. 1t is therefore essential that
they never dry out and that they be
kept in partial shade. 1t is not wise,
however, to soak the plants daily,
whether needed or not. When new
fronds are unfurling, avoid placing the
plant in a position where it will be OK
posed to the full power of the sunlight,
as it will sometimes burn or L-.sst the
