PRETTY STORY OF A SEAL
IN mammals OF Great Britain and
Ireland" Author Tells Inter
esting Tale

In 1886 there lived at AberdOuIs
on the estuary Of the Forth, N. b.
a remarkable old sea captain, says
j. G. Millais, in "Mammals OF
Great Britain and Ireland" who
possessed an extraordinary pOweE
in tanning wild birds and animals.
A friend in Edinburgh, who knew
him, stated that the old gentle
man was usually to be seen walk
ing down the village streets fol-
lowed by a flock of c%anaries, which
accompanied him in his short per
ordinations in the neighbOrhood OF
his house. One day some fisher.
men surprised a half-grOwn COM
mon seal in the mud fats and took
1t to the sea captain who soon
trained it with such success that
the poor creature became a perfect
nuisance.
The seal would go every morn
ing into the estuary and hunt for
fish and then make its way home
over the mud up to the house, at
the door of which it would knock
or push with its fOre-hippers. Its
favOrite resting place was the
drawing-rOOm sofa. The daily al.
rival of mud and wet into the best
parlOr was soon too much for the
good captains tidy wife, so the
day came at last when he reluO-
family promised to get rid of the
beast in the most humane fashion.
A boat was hired; the captain
and his pet sailed away far out to
sea off PortObello, where the man
bade farewell to the seal, which
apparently had not the slightest
intention of saying goOd-by to him.
The seal swan around the boat a
few times and then dived, and the
kind-hearted old sea dog sadly
turned his boats head %hOmeward,
convinced that he would never see
his a%mphibiOus friend again. A
surprise, however, was in store,
for when he opened the cottage
door it was to hear his wife's voice
raised in anger; there was the seal
on the drawing-room sofa once
again, safe and sound, and looking
upreproachfully with his innocent
black eyes. 7 kees

WHOARs The OPPOSERsi

The ST. Louis Republic gives 40
account Of a recent meeting Of the
"Freieht& Transportation Committee
Of the Business Mems League" TO con-
s der the Speer. Dickinson maximum
freight rate bill After reading and
discussing the bill at length, says the
Republic, "It was the unanimous
opinion Of the committee that the
passage Of this measure would work
great mischief to the wholesale in
terests Of st. Louis and would iniure
still more the MANUFACTURER Industry
"Au emphatic set OF resolutions
was adopted against the passage OF
the bill. copies Of which were ordered
sent to Speaker Hin Of the House
and President Mckinley of the Senate.
In addition the committee requested
the Elk, outive Committee Of the
league IL take further action 10 order
to show the legislature how much
injury the till would do St Louis If
passed.
1T was decided that II it becomes
necessary a strong delegation repre-
senting local business Interests will
appear before the Senate Committee
on Railroads aud Internal improve
ments to work against the measure. y
1t would be interesting to know
the personnel Of this cummittee,-
whether it is composed OF railroad
men or merchants. 1t would be in
teresting TO know how the matter
was brought to this committees
attention. But certain IL is that If
this committee does represent the
interests of st Louis shippers, then
a Just freight rate bill, one that is
iair to the interior towns, is more
urgently needed than has been
thought What possible harm could
occur to St Louis shippers from a
freight rate bill framed upon a mile
ave basis as the constitution and the
statutes require, unless it be by dis
turbing 40 illegal favOrtlsm which
they now eDjcy9 But 1t is safe to
assume that these resolutions were

JEWELED BIRD Of INDIA.
Hindus Call It "Uma" and Believe
That 1t Carries Royal
POweFs

While British troops and the
recollection of British prowess are
potent factors in the subjugatiOn
of India, it is a strange fact-and
one not generally knOwn-that
Hindu fatalism and a jeweIed
bird have much TODD withholding
the millions of the Indus. ~,
The bird, says the New York
American, is one of the treasured
treasures Of Windsor Castle, and
there are many legends wcven
about it. The Hindus call II
"Uma," and they say that who.
ever owns the Una must reign over
India. 1t is supposed to have the
gift of lOcOmotiOn, and it alightS,
they say, upon the head of whom
soeveritendOws with royal power.
The truth is that the bird was
taken from the canopy above the
throne of TippOO Sahib and pre-.
scented by the directors of. the
East India company to George III.
1t is about IL inches long and is
shaped like a pigeon, with an ex-
aggerated tail. Rubies, brilliant
emeralds and pearls are sown
about the ~quivering feathers of
filigree golden work; it holds a
priceless ruby in its beak and an
emerald of great size and luster
hangs from it's breast.
The bird shares with the Kohl.
Moor the superstitious regard OF
the Hindus. The fact that both
the Una and the great diamond
are owned by King Edward makes
it almost a matter of course for
the native princes to acknowledge
him as their liege lord. 1t may be
a bitter and bewildering thing, this
rule Of an alien from the west, but
the powers above have willedit so,
and pious souls must bow in sub
mission to the fat of fate. While
the Una folds its wings in the
castle of the Thames, and while
the Koh.i-Noor blazes in the Eng.
lish crown, there is nothingelse to
do but be as good subjects Of
Emperor Edward as may be.

AUTHOR, SOLD Err AND DIPLOMAT.

General LEV" Wallace who died
at bis home IN Charlottesville, Ind
February is, aged IS years, was a
practicing lawyer when the Mexican
war broke out. He volunteered
served 10 several battles, and was
mustered out a. a lieutenant When
the war between the states came he
was made colonel Of . regiment OF

active officer In the armies Of the
West throughout the war he was

In his youth aud early manhood
General Wallace was regarded as a
"scatter Drained" fellow who would
never amount to anything, Probably
service in two wars brought him
much practical wisdom as It brought
to him the habit of systematic labor.
But though 1t is hardly to be suspected
from his successful literary ventures,
Gen Wallace was lever a very sane
man. His personality was not
dominated by native traits OF
character. He was 10 considerable
degree given over to hobbies, and
these Of the most diverse and In
consistent kind. One OF his fads was
literary workshops. One of these
was a moorish palace sort of place
that must have cost many thousands
Of dollars; another was an artificial
cave; another was a miniature feudaI
