A GREAT FUNMAKER.
The Big West India Seal at the New
York AQUARIUM.

3 - 5sa X @
Easily continuing to be the star
attraction at the New York aquarium
is the big West Indian seal that squirts
water on the unsuspecting TO the rap
turous enjoyment of those who know
its tricks. The big seal appears clear
| II to have increased its intelligence
BY its enforced association, in eaptiv-
ity, with the human kind. This is
shown BY its general conduct, its com
ing when called, as dog does, and 80
on; and it grows slyer and slyer all
the time.
It used to rely mainly for success
il hitting its object upon Unexpected
ness and suddenness of attack; to
these methods, says the New York
Sun, it has now added what appears
ito be deliberate deception. Aiming
at and seeming about to discharge a.
stream Of water at one person il will
suddenly shift its aim and fire at an
/ other.
| The only thing to do, as those famil-
| lar with the seals antics very we'll
know, is to stand back when the seal
raises its head. But those unfamiliar
with the seals ways don't do that, and
sometimes when a man has been vet
he is 50 hnstered, or SO occupied with
| drying himself, that he doesn't t stand
back far enough even then, and gets
wet a second time. This happened to
q man one day last week.
This visitor, a stranger to the aqua
rum, who evidently had never heard
of the seal, stood looking down at
the big fellow, swimming smoothly:
and silently around, with great inter-
est. Pretty much everybody else
drew back, but this visitor remained,
and presently. on one Of its turns,
the big seal lifted its head quietly
above the surface Of the pool and dis
charged a stream of water square IN
| this mans face.
Then the man jumped back, as they
all do, but only a step; and bending
! forward he held his face down toilet
the water run off, while he felt for his
handkerchief. And while he was dry
ing and wiping his face with his head
and body well bent forward toward
the pool, the great seal, coming silent
II around again, raised Its head above
the water once more and threw
stream of water, this time squarely
Idown the back Of the mans neck.
And then the onlookers did ex-
plodel
There are signs on the pool can
tioning visitors, and the attendants
ladd their warnings: but strange visit
ors eitherdon' trealize what it means,
Ior they don't like to be told what to
dc, seeming 10 think that they ara
liable to look out for themselves. Al.
most invariably the victims take their
Iwetting down with real or assumed
good humor;; and after being thus
initiated they take their place with
the throEg always found watching the
seal.

We sincerely regret that the down
pour of rain had to come on last Fri
day, the day set for the Sunday school
picnic here, and thus caused it to be a
complete failure. Had it not been for
this we are positive that we would
have had large crowd to entertain !;
and this would have been well done,
too, as the Sunday school superin-
tendent, Mr.. E. W. Breland, had
gone to a great deal of trouble in
getting us an unusually good program
of its kind. For this, the great pity
is that the people at large did not get
TO hear such a treat. Despite the in
clemency of the weather though sew
eral came into town in the evening,
and were entertained in various ways
by our hospitable townspeople. To
satisfy the children who had parts in
the exercises that were to have been
had on that day, on Sunday morning
Rev. W. L. Blackwell omitted the
regular II O'Clock service and instead
had them to recite their several selec-
tions. This was very creditably done.
