Worship of the Handmade.

The ancestral mahogany bedstead
that is now an honored ornament in
every family had but its age and as
sociates to recommend it, but of the
bequeathed bedstead or the future it
will be said not only that sit belonged
to grandmother, but that cit was
made by grandmother The making
of ones own furniture is now a recog
nized domestic industry, and in these
days when one wants a new hall seat,
instead of going to the furniture deal
er's to get one, it is customary to re-
tire to the workshop and create one.
1t is all but a part of the modern
democratic craving for self express
sion, and, whereas, but limited num-
ber of people can pour forth their
souls in sonnets, there are many who
can express themselves in settees. Of
course this new worship of the hand
made is regarded by many as but
passing fad, while these high-class
workshops are looked upon as safe
places where kindly angels find en-
ployment for idle hands. But in
reality there is deeper significance
behind this new interest, and those
who have given themselves up to it
confess to an enthusiasm in their
work ard a new zest to life in general
that argues well for the future success
of arts and crafts societies and the
future Punishment of that dreaded foe

the shore and remain while the bells
continue ringing, look about wonder
ingly. but never alarmed
In appearance the seal is unique Its
skin is clothed with thick, downy
wool. But as this would impede swift
motion. it is covered with an outer
coat of close. strong, shining hair. The
nostrils are closed at will. The orifice
of the ear can also be closed and the
eye is furnished with a third eyelid,
which can be drawn across it as a
defense. The limbs are short and al
most enclosed within the body, little
more than the feet projecting.
A Creature of Commerce..
Though little known to science, the
seals have been long known to com
merce and the pursuit of the animals
for their oils and skins forms no in
considerable source of national wealth.
Fleets OF vessels OF various sizes,
manned by expert and hardy seamen,
annually leave the shores Of Europe
and America, bound either for the Arc

land, or the desolate. shores Of extreme

credible hardships. loaded with the

sealing craft generally start out about

Old Masonic Hall, Neosho, Confederate
Capitol of Missouri.
During the Civil War Neosho Mo-,
was the scene of many stirring events,
Situated on the line between the North
and the South. it would be one day in
the hands of the Federal forces
next in the hands of the ConfederateS.
1t was here that the seceeders met,
and on October p, 1861, in the old Ma
sonic Hall building, of which we give
an illustration, and which is still
standing, signed the articles of seces-
sion. The body was composed of the
deposed Governor Jackson and 80
members of the Confederate wing of
the House and 10 members of the Sen
ate, and the following is the title Of
the bill passed: "An Act declaring
the ties heretofore existing between the
United States and the State of Mis-
souri, dissolved" During the consider
alton of this measure the town was
defended by Prices army, which was
stationed ON the hill tops surround

HABITS OF THE SEAL
AN INTERESTING CREATURE OF
COMMERCE.
For the Fur and Oil Thousands of
Men Every Year Imperil Their Lives
The Romance of an Unfortunate
Seal.

Not the least interesting sight wit
nessed by the visitor to San Francisco
are the rocks covered with seals.
which lie not far out in the bay and
are easily discernible from the Clif
House. At times the piles Of stone
and earth projecting above the water
are so filed with the smooth furred
creatures that none of the rock is vlsi-
bic. The bay itself swarms with the
animals, which assemble on these Seal
Rocks, as they are called. to hask in
the sunshine Should the visitor at
tempt to study the animals at close
range he would find them extremely
interesting. OF American animals
there is none more valuable or sought
after than the fur-seal and no Great
ure of the numerous American animal
family is more interesting or intelli-
gent. They live in the sea but always
in the neighborhood of the coasts,
where they wage an incessant war
fare on the fishes, which constitute
their principal food. They enjoy
climbing upon rocks and beaches along
the shore. When out of the water
they are exceedingly watchful, and APP
pear to have sentinels to give notice
of the approach of an enemy, plung
ing into the water the moment any
danger approaches them. On land they
are very awkward Their movements
are performed by the actions of the
strong muscles of the back. The crea-
lures take hold by their forepaws,
while they curve the back strongly
and thus draw forward the hind feet.
The latter then form the point of sup
port and the head and forepaws are
pushed on by the Strengthening of the
body. The mode of progression is
plainly laborious, and the seals never
travel any great distance on land.
In only one genus is an external ear
present and that genus inhabitS the
southern ocean. Yet the northern seals
hear well when under water and are
easily attracted to the surface by
noise. They generally travel in shoals

Athlete and His Stomach.

Probably the most important consid-
Grafton for an athlete in training is
the condition of his stomach. The
quantity and quality of food and the
regularity of meals and sleep are all
carefully watched, because it is nee
essary for the stomach to be in per-
feet running order if the athlete
would make the most of his powers.
For this important organ affects the
nervous system as well as the mus
cles, and the nerves and head have
as much to do with winning a race as
the sinews. There is danger IN over
eating as there is in insufficient nour.
ishment the trainers say; because,
while the latter may weaken a man,
the former produces dizziness and in
ertia. "A man with his stomach full, 2
said trainer Hirshburg, at Columbia
University. hasn't the clean, quick
nerve force that an athletic must have
to get the most out OF his muscles :"

Bird charmer of the Tuileries.

A crowd of Americans may be seen
daily at the entertaining performance
in the garden of the Tuileries of the
charmieur des oiseaux. He has fed
and fascinated more generations of
sparrows than one can count, and has
become quite a Paris institution. He
takes up his position in one of the
sidewalks facing the Arc du Car
rouse, and as he whistles and twitters
the birds fly to him from all parts
of the garden. Then they range them
gelves in a semi-circle on the ground,
squatting down, each one afraid to
move until his name is called, for the
charmer knows them all by name. AS
soon as the audience begins to collect,
the old man takes few crumbs from
his pocket and in each hand, and sig
mailing to one or the other of the spar
rows, or calling out few names, they
flutter up, and perching Gu his fingers
help themselves to the bread. They
then return to their proper places,
like so many school children, and
others are allowed to come in turn.
The other day a pathetic incident oc-
Cured The old man, in stepping
back, accidentally trod on one of the
birds and killed it. This seemed to
upset him, and as he held the tiny
dead thing in his hand he was unable
to go on for few minutes, and shook
his head sadly as he said. Now that
is going to bring me i'll luck; such a
thing has not happened for years."
but the pathetic side of the scene was
considerably spoiled a few days later,

"Oh, it was very easy. We were sit

ont piece of paper and pencil. Then
he set down a dollar mark, and after it
placed a figure 1. Looking at me out

he began making ciphers after the dol

had made four ciphers which with the
other figures meant $4,000, he stopped.

Then he made another cipher. That
meant 100000. l nodded my head
again. He made another, which raised

making it $10,0O0,000.

CARNEGIE STUDENTS.
Effects Upon Character of the Dona-
ton to Glasgow University.

Principal Story. in the course Of
his address to the students at Glas-
gov University graduation ceremon-
piaI recently, said that they did not
know as yet what permanent effect,
If any, the great Carnegie benefaction
was, through its payment of fees, to
have on the number of students at
tcnding the University. What effect
it was to produce on their character
was, he feared, less uncertain. In
the winter session of I901-1902 the
fees paid by the students (male)
themselves we're G6510; those paid
by the Carnegie trustees were e6239
In the session of 1902-03 those paid
by students were G6359. and those
paid by the Trust E7350-showing
an increase over the previous year of
about $1,000, and also showing that
the majority of the students had be
come beneficiaries of the Trust and
had either been living hitherto in UNI
suspected neediness or were now
reaping the harvest of a crop sown
for such as they. The same downward
grade from independence to indebted
ness marked the summer session of
last year. In it the fees from stu
dents were e150o and from Trustees
92923. The elemosynary system
seemed to grow in attraction for the
ingenious youth, and it could not go
on long and yet leave the honor OF
the students untarnished and their in.
dependence unsapped. Better meet
with courage and hardihood all the
blows that circumstances could deal
than lapse into the dependent content

know the bracing discipline of self
denial. The University existed to lit

deYstand that its function was not to
i1culcate knowledge only, but to in

character, to train its pupils not to
struggle merely through the easiest
option of a degree which should pay
them for their trouble; but to love
learning for itself, to seek for truth
for its own sake, and to know their

in the northern seas as to appear like
a continuous mass. For the sake of
respiration they appear now and then
on the surface, springing up with their
whole bodies out of water. Fishes,
crabs and aquatic birds disappear
when the seal gets hungry. Before a
gale of wind the seals are full of frol-
&c, jumping and tumbling about, some
times throwing themselves entirely out
of water and performing many awk-
ward gambois. AZ last they retire to
their wonted rocks or caverns and
there remain till the storm is over.
