SHOE BUTTONS CURED HIM.

What are shoe buttons made of:'' shouted a Taunton citizen, rushing into a local drug store. The propri. etor informed the excited man that they were usually made of paper. and asked concerning his desire for infors rnatiotl.
 Well, I will tell you said the man, evidently very much relieved. II have an occasional headache, and awoke this morning early with one. I not t1p iii the dark to get some pills which keep handy for just such cases and by mistake got my wife's button box and swallowed two. I did not discover fhe mistake until this morning. when I remarked to the madam how quickly the pills re- lieved me. Then she informed me that I had taken two Of her shoe but tons instead of tho hea daehe remedy. But as long as they are nothing but paper I don't care. They cured the ache, anyway"

WORLD'S FUR-SEALS
It Is Proposed to Stock Lake supe-
 rior with the Animals.
where the supply Is Now Lccateds-. Most oa Them B'ound In Behrfng Sea-PecuIta arities Of tho
 Great nerds

The recent formation or company to stock Lake Superior with fur-bear- ing seals sets one to inquire concerning the regular haunts of these valuable creatures. and concerning the outlook for their preservation or extinction.
 Some one has aptly said that the question of the Behring sea fisheries is B matter Of natural history rather than international law. Neither Eng land nor America is so blind to indi- vidual or general interests as to wish to evade or prevent laws making for the preservation of the seal; and neither of the nations should count as q victory the grant of right to indulge In undue slaughter of the s'sea-bear."
 At present but few fur seals dwell in the south. There are some in the South Shetlands. in various small is- lands in the vicinity of Cape Horn, and near the naouth Of the La Plata. but the main supply of skins comes from the Conainaiader and Pribilof is- lands of the north.
 AS it is thought these islands in the Behring and Okhotsk seas had never been visited by man previous to the discovery of Behring and Medini is- lands by Vitus Behring in TAI, and of St George island in 17s6. it Is believed the seals up to the latter part of the eighteenth century had been uamolest- ed by the Iaan-Ainter, that probably few seals were captured prior to l78o.
 In the northern Pacific there are three distinct herds; the most import ant Is the American or Pribilof herd, which lives on two islands of the Prib- ilof group, St. George and St. Paul; the Russian herd of the Komandorski or Commander islands; the third, also belonging to the Russians, inhabiting Robben island in the Okhotsls sea- These seals do not spend the long cold winter in the islands dominated their homes, but all of them travel south into warmer waters. The American herd leaves the Pribilofs In November and December. going into the open sea as far south as the latitude of San Francisco. but in the spring inevitably returning to the retreats peculiar to it's members.

Furnishing One Brother on Anotaerfs
 Account.
 It was reported at the headquarters of the Building Trades Employers as soeiation yesterday that Contractor Thomas ]. Dunn has q strike on his hands unique even in the present year Of remarkable building strikes. The Bluestone Cutters union has ordered out It's members on all his paving and other contracts in this city because, It is alleged. his brother, Bartholonaew Dunn, d general contractor, refuses to pay S2Oo as wages for eight men sitting around doing nothing for sev eral days at a city contract he has in Sunset park, Brooklyn. Charles l.. Eldlit5, president Of the Building Trades Employers association, iti tell. ing the story Of this strike yesterday, said:
 Bartholomew Dunn had contract for 2.Uo0-foot wall at Sunset park, the coping Of which was. .bluestofae. By rule of the union the stone. if it comes i'll the ordinary coping lengths of twenty feet or SO, can be dressed at the quarry, but blocks of eight feet or less Iii length must be dressed where the men are working. The wall runs In a curve for about eighteen feet at one end, and for this curve ten blocks eight feet long were used. MT Dunn did not think 1t Worfa while to get these dressed here or perhaps dld not think about 1t at all.
 "A walking delegate came around, however, and told NIr Dunn that the union rules were violated. Tn order toe avoid trouble it was agreed that the union should send two men around fo dress the eight blocks over again, which, it was thought, would take about two dsys..''
 The foreman was surprised, Mr Eld- litE saia, to see eight n1sn coming around the next day to do the work. They told him that they were to spend three and half days on each block. The foreman denatafred at this, and said there would be nothing left of the stones if they spent this time on thsnai but the eight men were not to be moved. They said they had their in st4uctions, and the foreman declined to allow them to work. Then they built 3 ire and sat around it, chatting and smoking for several days.
 The walking delegate. with a coI1a- EHiEtG9s EaiISV hTOWffQ auN OE EWW iater MT Eldlitz said, and said that Mir Dunn would have to pay S20O for the time spent by the eight men sitting around idle. Mr Duan enphaticalb refused to pay anyone for doing roth4 ing especially such high rates, wherey upon he was told that the union would order strikes on all the contracts or his brother. Thomas J, Dunn, until the S200 was paid.
 The strike against my brother De cause I refuse to pay $2o0 to eight men for sitting idle Is preposteFous , said Bartholomew Dunn Inst evening. "I won't pay it. and 1t is safe to sny my brother will not. proved to the delegate that my brother had absolute ly nothing 10 do with the contract We are not in partnership.

ALASKA FUR COMPANIES HEADQUARTERS. cast coast Of Japan, and the herd from the OkhotsR sea passes down the vest ern coast of the inland sea of Japan. A marked feature of the life of the seal, the herds do not intermingIe, year after year each adult seal returns as nearly as possible not only to the is4 land of the preceding season, but al- most to the exact spot A wonderful autematon.''
 The Pribilof islands of St George and Bt- Paul lie in the Behring sea about 200 miles northwest Of Unalaska and about AS miles apart Here on a sl6ping hill or a broad rocky beach, the seals establish their "rookeries. ' or breeding grounds, where the ani- Inals crawd together So close the pups are often trampled to death by the lighting males. The largest breeding ground Is on St, Paul, and from the summit of Hutchison hill, up the sea- ward slope of which the grounds ex- tend. one can see a greater collection of seals than at any other place in the world.
 It Is the "bachelors" (young nnaIes) that the land hunter Is supposed to look for; and for half a century this has been the law of the islands. Ac- cording to it's original lease the com pany in possession of the Pribilof is- lands was empowered to kill 0000 bachelors season This seems large number, but authorities say 1t made for increase rather than decrease, lessening the number of fighters and therefore not decreasing the popula- tion as whole.
 The Aleutian Indians tell that the Pribilof herd reached is smallest size some 50 years ago, when many thou- sand seals lost their lives during an ice jam. There is 10 definite record of conditions during the Russian holding, but when the islands passed into Americas possession in 1868. the herd was of fair size, The greatest pros- perity was from 1872 to 's2, the esti- mate placing the number of seals of all classes on the islands at 2,500,0o0 At present there is not fifth that num- Der, and the decrease is due largely to pelagic sealing-the killing of fur seals in the open sea with firearms, clubs or spears. The Russian herds have suf- fered from the sane cause, and even to greater extent; and down in the south the Antartic rookeries have also fallen a prey to the greed Of man

EVERY CITIZEN A CAPITALIST.
Ultimate General Diffusion Of Wealth
Among the People.

Ultimate General Diffusion Of Wealth
Among the People.
The outlook may be long one, but
it is clear that consolidation is a
movement that must result in an ulti-
mate general diffusion OF wealth In
average ownership and consequently
in the average income and comfort,
and in a considerable reduction of the
difference between the average wealth
and that of those whose possession is
greatest. There is clearly visible
time when every worthy citizen shall
have become a capitalist with greater
or smaller investments in the industry
or Industries which he prefers. How
powerfully this must work toward
general contentment and the stabil-
ity of society need not be discussed.
Clearly the conception is of a much
truer industrial democracy than that
contemplated by the socialist who
crudely imagines that industrial equal
ity can be achieved by making the d.
rection of industry a political func-
