Perhaps it is too much to say that

campaign against feminine traditions.
but 1t is certain that from Leeds and
Birmingham blasts have been sounded
upon the trumpets Of the anticorset

within the last few months has been
seen in large numbers. is already work
ing a reform in teaching women to be
careful how they walk. says the New
York Herald.
Leagues have been formed for the
suppression OF that first mentioned ar
ticle, which has so long been regarded
as essential to feminine dress, and men
are being enrolled among the members.
That women are bad wall1ers-many
being pigeon toed-is declared to be
one revelation Of the new skirt. Phys

say the greatest offender is the man

SEA LIONS AS PeTs.
Great Demand For Them Both Here
and Abroad.

Great Demand For Them Both Here
and Abroad
The latest California product in con
siderable demand ID eastern and Euro
pean cities IS the sea lion, says the SAN
Francisco Examiner Captain j. r.
Mullett Of Detroit, Mich, who arrived
at San Francisco recently, is the au-
thority for the statement He says he
has orders for more live sea lions than
be can GIL
1t has become quite the fad among
New York milllonaires 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 70
its size and attractive appearance. Cap
tain Mullett has gone to Santa Barba-
ra, where he viii take gasolina
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. Tie seals mako des
perate fight for their liberty. but after
being placed In crates they become
comparatively docile IN two or three
days,
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 sew
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 IRE in their wild natural state.
The management Of The geological
gardens at Antwerp purchased ten Cal
ifornia sen lions last spring. These airs
all doing well and proved such all al
traction that a number Of other Euro
pean cities have placed orders for them.
