A baby seal has just arrived at the

series of thrilling adventures. 1t was
first sighted near Heligoland from an
English yacht, and large killer-whale
(grampus) was in full pursuit. With

somehow or other the seal made for a
passing steamer but the killer-whale
headed 1t off. 1t then made for the
yacht AS 1t came alongside, practi-
cally exhausted, the crew slipped a
couple of ropes around it and hauled
1t on board: The owner of the yacht

Hygiene of Churches.

1.-THE poet tells us that the groves
were Gods first temples. From a
health standpoint they were far supe-
rior to our magnificent modern edi-
fees, where the worshipers come in
contact with countless germs lurking
in the upholstered seats, and in the
dust-laden carpets, and their minds
are stupefied by being compelled to
inhale the poisons that are constantly
exhaled from the lungs of others, be

Italy, is a good one to follow in this
respect. A circular was recently is
sued by him in which he asks the
priests of his diocese to comply with
the following rules:
81. In every church the floor must
be regularly cleaned with sawdust,
saturated with a strong subHmate
solution. This thorough cleaning
should take place particularly after
holidays when great masses of peo-
pie have visited the church.

Tobacco.

Since Jean Nicot discovered Nico-
but recent chemical investigators tell
us the world has been on the wrong
track for generations, and that nico-
tine has nothing to do with the trem-
ors, the nervousness, and the other
ills that aff1ict the habitual smoker.
The injurious property is, it seems,
carbon monoxide gas, which is the
very constituent that is dangerous in
common water gas. The smoker
should know, then, that in consuming
one ounce of tobacco he produces one
whole pint of carbon monoxide, which
is very fearsome thing. The cigar
cite, the object of execration by all
good men and women, especially wom-
en-, produces very little of the monox-
ide, but IL the practice of inhaling is
followed, the deadly gas goes straight
to the blood in the lungs, turns it
pink and poisons 1t. The cigar is the
great producer of the obnoxious gas,
and would be more harmful than the
pipe, were 1t not for the ordinary
pipes incurable filthiness.
Scientists are agreed that there is
something bad about tobacco, what
ever its name may be. Yet the sales
are growing at so rapid rate all over
the world that the people seem to be
rushing blindly to their own destruc-
ton, unmindful and regardless of their
doom. And the hardened smoker be-
lieves that this is case where ignor-
ance is bliss.
