that he was amazingly clever in his
professionally amateur capacity At
the first ducal mansion to which he
was invited 1t was a matter of discuss.
sion whether he should dine with the
house party or in the housekeeper's s.
room. His knife and fork having been
ultimately laid in the dining room a
precedent was established, and to this
lucky accident must be really attribut-
ed his social success, for his talent is.
undiscoverable. He himself, however,
is quite unaware how nearly he was
relegated to the housekeeper's room, or
how often the duke and duchess now
wish he had been. En-
On the strength Of having once
shown people to their seats at per-
formance witnessed by Mr.. Tree or
having spoken half a dozen lines at
charity ertainment kindly attended
by Mr.. Forbes Robertson, he will con-
fldentially assure you that they offer
ed him on the spot lucrative engage
ments. 1t is way great actors have
according to amateurs. Fortified by
this experience the amateur goes
further, and remarks loudly-he always
talks more loudly than any one else
when he is not acting, being inaudible
on the only occasion when he ought to
speak up-''as I was saying the other
day to Alexander" or last time i was
in Cyril Maude's dressing room I told
him my reading of his part. and he
said it was quite different from his. of
course it is, my dear boy I replied.

AN ISLE OF SAFETY FOR THE
SEAL,

SEAL
The suggestion that Boulder Island,
the newly discovered seal rookery, be
made reserve, in order that the herd
which resorts there for breeding pur-
poses may be protected, is a good one.
1t could probably be supplemented in
the same direction by making the
Pribilof Islands also sanctuaries for the
seal herd.
When it comes to sealing, the man
who hunts the fur seal on the high
seas, who, in a frail boat, braves the
storms and the fogs of the Northern
Pacific Ocean, and who kills his quar-
ry by his skill in the use Of weapons, a
pursuit which requires the highest
qualities of skill and daring, is brand
ed as a poacher; while the only Iegiti-
mate method of sealing, over which the
protection of the law is extended, is
the clubbing of the seal to death in
his breeding sanctuary; where, being
on land, the seal is unable to escape or
to put up the slightest resistance to his
assailant. ,,
It is strenuously asserted that the
seal herd will be extinguished if seal
ers are permitted to hunt in the open
waters of the ocean, where each seal
has fair chance to evade his pursuer;
and that the annual murder of all of
the vigorous young males of the herd,
on land and in sanctuary, leaving but
the hoary old veteran bulls to per-
petuate the race, has no influence to-
ward weakening the herds. Scientific
gentlemen of high standing so assert;
and the whole sealing question revolves
around these points.
Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, if
the Government of the United States
should try the scheme suggested, the
truth or falsity of these theories would
then rest on practical demonstration,
and not upon theipse dixit of some
scientific gent" 1t must not be for
gotten that the large pecuniary inter
ests of the lessees of the Pribilof ISL
ands, the men who have always aimed
at an absolute monopoly of the market
for seal skins, are involved in the re-
tention of the present system whereby
they and they alone are permitted to
butcher helpless seals on the islands to
which they resort for breeding pur-
poses. The American people have had
some recent experiences which have
created a distrust of expert opinion ON
matters at least as important as the
preservation or extinction of the seal
herd
There is no question of the right of
the Government of the United States to
protect the breeding islands of the seal,
and the waters adjacent thereto. Now,
if the Government should simply re-
frain from granting to any handful Of
spectators the privilege of butchering
fur seals in sanctuary, and should rig
idly protect every island to which the
fur seals resort for breeding purposes
from intrusion under any pretence;
while permitting American citizens to
do what the citizens Of every other
country can freely do, hunt the fur seal
on the high seas, outside the jurisdic-
tional limits Of any country, there is a
fair reason to believe that the fur seal
fishery would last as long as the cod.
fish industry, or any other pursuit car
ried on upon the waters of the ocean,.

SMALL FIRE YESTERDAY.

Benjamin Grannito, thirteen years
old, living on the top floor at 81 Union

and FIRE box rs was run. The fire was
quickly extinguished and there was
about $40 damage done to the room.

HOW to Prevent erann.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse This is soon followed by be-
crlliar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse,. or even after the
rough Group appears, and it will dispeI
all symptoms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thou
sands Of mothers and has never been
known to fail. It is. in fact, the only.
remedy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists.

nese crews, 427 FiIipinos, 427 japanese
seamen, 39I Pacific islanders, 1s7 Aus
traiian blacks and 246 Torres Straits Is
landers.
Politicians have been asking one an
er whether this position is a good
one, and whether-just as the Kanaka
is to be banished from the Queensland
sugar plantation-the japanese diver
and Pacific Island seamen should not
be dismissed from the pearling trade.
As preliminary step the federal gov
eminent appointed two commissioners
to investigate the trade, the first, Judge
Eastwood, being sent to the northeast
coasts, and the second, n. S. Warton,
a magistrate, to the northwest coasts.
Their reports have just been published
Both commissioners arrive at one
conclusion, viz, that the Australian
pearling industry cannot, by reason of
its conditions and hardships, be made
to Fay with white labor. This means
that if it is to continue to thrive there
must be some relaxation of the provi-
sions of the Alien immigration Restric-
ton act, which forbids the admission to
the commonwealth of contract labor
over one thousand of the west Austria
Ian Asiatics came from Singapore I'M
der contract-and which bans all alien
immigrants who cannot pass a stiff
language test. Judge Eastwood sees
no reason why white diver, with abil-
ity and dash, should not make between
three and four hundred pounds year
at the work, but he frankly declares
that to substitute white crews for the
black men now employed would mean
ruin. The conditions of life and en-
ployment are such that few whites
would venture on the experiment long.
Why is this so?
The riches snatched from ''fathoms
deep" must, one would think, amply re-
pay all these efforts. But the truth is,
this industry is well-nigh as much a
lottery as the life of the adventurer of
olden days. A pearler cannot estimate
the value of the pearls he will get in
any season. For instance, one fleet av-
eraged forty-one pounds worth of pearls
per boat one year, and the next the
same boats averaged over three hun
dred pounds per boat. Generally
speaking, however, it is safe to say the
average yield per boat for a season can
be put down at one hundred and TWEEN
ty-fve piunds for pearls and six hun
dred and seventy-five pounds for pearl
shell per season. At last years prices
the total profit per average boat works
out as follows:

All this, of course, forces upon the
Australian statesman the necessity for
extreme caution in deciding whether an
as described is to be forced to
employ white labor or quit Australian
waters.
Australia cannot afford to lose any Of
her Industries just now, and even If a
departure from the logical complete
ness of her white Australia policy is |
involved, he might see her way 10 make
a nominal sacrifice to retain the pearl
ing enterprise Correspon-
dence of the London Chronicle.
