its corners grown up with underbrush
and briars and just outside the fence
thick woods.
The dog came to hard point and
Kleinmann walked ahead of him to
flush the birds. None got up. He went
on for so yards slowly, then, thinking
that the pointer had struck only an
old scent, knocked his gun and be-

Happening to glance up he saw a
quail rise 80 yards in front of him.
1t went up some 80 feet above the

side. 1t made no noise.
One after another the members of

Kleinmann stopped they thought it

WHERE FUR SEALS WINTER.
These Animals During the Cold
est Part of the Year.

Various hypothesis have been adj
vanced from time to time as to where
the fur seal spends the winter after its
departure from its breeding grounds
in the north. Some of these theories
seem rather ridiculous as for example,
the conjecture that upon the approach
of the winter the seal drops to the bot
tom of the sea and sleeps like the bear,
through the winter months. Other
persons affirm that the seals migrate
to the southern hemisphere in winter,
states the New York Sun.
Mr.. B. de ZenZinoff, Russian who
has been writing on the fur seal, says
that the most plausible of all the
hypothesis is that which supposes
that the seals never leave in winter
the limits of the warm Kuro Siwo
which is the current in the Pacific
ocean that corresponds with the gulf
stream in the Atlantic. There is con-
siderable evidence to show that a
great many of them at least spend the
cold season within the limits of this
current or in its neighborhood some
where between the Ladrones and the
Philippine islands; as the summer ap-
proaches they start north along the
Kurile islands to the northern breed
ing grounds. On this journey they
spread over large part of the ocean
and are even found in the neighbor-
hood of San Francisco and in much
larger numbers off the coast of British
Columbia.
Compared with the former enor-
nous number of seals killed every year
the present number of skins coming to
market is very small. If the seals are
allowed to recover their former num-
bers, placing the industry on its old
footing, it will be interesting to know
if we will again permit London to alb
sorb large part of the profits of the
fur seal industry. Heretofore the
skins after being dried, sailed and
packed on the Pribylof islands, have
been sent through San Francisco
mainly to London where they have
been plucked, dyed and otherwise pre-
pared for market and sold to buyers in
London and New York. In other words
most of the work of preparing seals
for cloakmaking has always been in
the hands of London furriers, though
it might just as well be done in our
own country giving to our own fur
workers the profits made from an in
dustry that originates in American
waters.

DOMESTICATED WILD GEESE.
The Tame FIOcks of Connecticut Con-
tain Many That Have Their
Wings Clipped.

I'm passing through the remote
country towns of Connecticut" said
native of one of them, 1.-The stranger
will notice now and then in farm
er's flock of prosaic-looking waddling
geese one or more different from their
companions. These apparently mis-
tit geese are GAMER and wilder than
the others. They are bulkier. The
neck feathers have the brownish hue
of game birds and there is queer
black, Tapping protuberance on the
crown of the head that resembles the
head of big long clam.
These are wild geese, genuine
honkers, which have been forced into
domestication by clipping their wings.
1t is a fact that wild geese in their
semi-annual migration are apt to get
lost if caught in a fog. Then they
plunge and dive aimlessly about, at
times barely skimming the earth,
sweeping against Instructions, often
coming down in heap on the ground,
and running about the fields or farm
yards like excited domestic fowls,
screeching frantically and with great
| clamor.
"At such times they are an easy
| prey, and a farmer with a club can
knock over half dozen of the crazed
birds before they get their bearings.
Any that are not injured too badly are
doctored up, their wings are clipped
and they are added to the flock of farm
geese to spend the rest of their days
in inforced domesticity.
"These domesticated wild geese
rarely forget the instincts of their
kind, and during the late fall and early
spring months dwell in state of con-
slant excitement and unrest. They
| honk responses to the honks of wild
geese flying over, and their efforts to
rise and go along with their free
| brethren are sometimes frantic.
81 have known farmers who have hui
namely recognized this longing in wild
| geese in their focks and permitted
| their wings to grow, so that the birds
might rise and join some passing
flock, which they have invariably done.
"a farmer who lived near Gardeners
Lake tells of a wild goose of his that
Ne permitted to regain its liberty in
this way, and which went sailing off
after a flock on its way south. This
goose was a gander and id returned
to the old farm in less than an hour
the most deplorable looking creature
the farmer ever saw. 1t was plucked
nearly bare of feathers and its head
and neck were torn and bleeding 1t
had evidently met with a lively recep-
ton from the old gander that led the
flock and had made up its mind that
liberty at that price was hardly worth
having. So it returned to captivity,
and although its wings were left I'M
clipped, it never manifested any in
clination to use them again, and lived
on the farm to green and unhonking
old age"

Crowns of the Edwards.

Not one of the Edwards was
crowned with his queen in Westmin-
ster Abbey, except the first king OF
that name, and it is furthermore re-
markable that the coronation of Ed
ward I. and Queen Eleanor was the
first that took place in the present
Abbey of Westminster. King Ed
ward ii. was crowned alone, for he
was not married at the time of his
SUGGESTIONS; the third Edward was
boy of IA when he was crowned; Ed
ward ". was unmarried at the time
of his coronation; Edward w.,
though he was born in the abbot's
house at Westminster, where his
mother had fled for sanctuary, and
was so nearly crowned that even the
wild fowl for the coronation ban
quet had been ordered, was never ac-
tually crowned, and Edward VI. was
boy of ten when the ceremony was
performed. Hence, from the auspi-
cious occasion upon which the good
Queen Eleanor went to Westminster
Abbey with her husband until the
present day, no Edward has been
crowned with his wife.-London

Few people have any idea of the enor-
nifty of the insurance business of the
United States. 1t not only exceeds
that of any other country, but is twice
as great as that of all the rest of the
world combined. At the present time
there is in the United States about
$12 900 000, 900 of life insurance in force,
including assessment business. This
means over $160 for every man, wom-
an and child in the country, or $500
for every family. The annual risks
written by the fire insurance COM
panies are estimated at 100000, 900,
which is $3.50 per capita, or $3.50 per
family. Thus it will be seen that ev-
cry family in the country on an average
has insurance assets of over $4,000.
