SEA LIONS AS PETS.

Great Demand For Them Both Here
 and Abroad.
 The latest California product in con siderable demand in eastern and Euro pean cities is the sea lion, says the San Francisco Examiner. Captain J. R. MulIett of Detroit, Mich, who arrived at San Francisco recently, is the au- thorfty for the statement. He says he has orders for more live sea lions than he can ill.
 It has become quite the fad among New York millionaires to have one or two sea lions as pets in little lakes on their country estates. The California sea lion also has a ready sale in all the European geological gardens owing to it's size and attractive appearance. Gap tain SMullett has gone to Santa Barba- ra, where he will take a gasoline schooner and embark on hunting cruise around the Santa Barbara is- lands. He expects to capture thirty or forty of the seals with little difficulty.
 In discussing his sea lion trade Cap- tain Mullett said that he captured thir- ty of the animals last spring on the is- land of Santa Cruz. They were caught while they were on land by the aid of lassos and nets. The seals make des- perate fight for their liberty, but after being placed in crates they become comparatively docile in two or three days ....rs
 When a sufficient number have been captured they are taken to the east in a special car in charge of an attend ant, who feeds them on fish and gives them an occasional bath. In New York they are fattened, and if they are to be shipped to Europe they are given sev- eral weeks rest. The percentage of those dying is small. In fact, Captain Mullett says they thrive and grow much larger in captivity, than when they are in their wild natural state.
 The management of the geological gardens at Antwerp purchased ten Cal ifornia sea lions last spring. These are all doing well and proved such an at traction that a number of other Euro pean cities haveipIaced orders for them.

How to Take Care of Rings.


 Diamond rings should be taken to the jewellers every year or So for tightening said woman who owns many rings Were this rule followed out we wouldn't hear so much about the loss of jewels from their settings; we wouldn't read in the Lost and Found columns so many offers of re- wards for the return of diamonds, pearls, emeralds and sapphires. Gems of price, you see, are mounted in fine gold settings, and 1t often happens that the rarer the gem the purer the gold supporting it. Pure gold-all gold, for that matter-wears away with the pas sage of time; hence a setting that held a jewel perfectly from last year may be so worn this year that the jewel wabbles in it. The wabbling is so slight as to remain unremarked, but nevertheless 1t is not long before the stone is lost out of the ring, and we have another case of diamond dis aDpearing"

A VIEW OF AN IDEAL PASTOR

One to Succeed Must Be Blond and
 Blue Eyed, Says Chicago Divine.
 "The pastor with. faxen hair neat ly parted in the middle, blue eyes and a peachlike complexion, attire up to date and personality attractive and popular with the ladies is the ideal and successful minister, according to the fashionable churchgoers of today" de clared the Rev. J. B. Taitor before the Congregational ministers in /. Chicago the other day. t'#
 'It matters not if the man Is deep thinker and one who has made deep research into Bible study. If he is not attractive he cannot influence the mem bers of his flock, and his usefulness is gone.
 ''If the congregations of this decade persist in their hobby of desiring a foppish minister the old time pastor who has been useful in years gone by had better look for another occupa- tion."

New Mask For Automobiles.

The difficulty automobilists find in protecting their faces has at last been satisfactorily solved, says a Paris ca ble dispatch to the New York Herald. Ugly masks and goggles are now like ly to be cast aside for a new mask, which is strong and transparent and modifies in no way the appearance of fair compilations. It Is constructed of transparent horn. with the usual spec tacle glasses, and thus obviates the danger of fire so much feared with in dammable calluloid masks.
