Cease Worrying Over the lnevitahlo
and Court Contentment.
How full the world Is Of grumblefs!
Many Of the same people who scold Ia
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because 1t Is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter Neither is wanted. IL skies
are clear somebody's cistcrn needs
rain. II the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old if VIC would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
evitablc. The truly happy arc the hap
by 90 lucky, who take everything as 1t
comes and make the lest Of it.
II 1T rains. all that is left to do Is to
put up oar umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as TO have one. and trudge along.
Wet feet and betlraggled skirts wont
kill amy one any more than poverty ana
drudgery will. If there is something
within us too s.nshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudyery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't SO to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned cS-
actly for the comfort of the fly. but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The lest tactics for flies and gislMhlers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and be glad 1t is 10 worse.

Odd Plight Of m Deer.

Strange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes IL Scotch hunt
er. IA hind in Caithness came to some
crofter's hut near the forest and was
polling about to see If there was any
thing she could pick up when she found
IN old tin pail lying in some out of the
way corner. In went her nose and
down came the handle behind her ears.
Then somehow the whole pail slipped
down her neck, and there she was.
caught. She was seen several times
with her strange necklace. which pre-
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly. The clattcr when she got
under way was tremendous, and tho
other deer We're frightened for miles.
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made OH her life, but never heard the
sequel. Anyhow. she must have died
soon from nervous prostration, coupled
with the shock, or from some ladylike
disease of that sort"

and faces that after having seen Il
criminal once and learned his name he
never forgot him, but would often iden-
tify him undcr the most subtle dis
guises. \ French forgcr once escaped
from custody, went abroad aud remain
ed for eleven years. In the meantime
he became quite bald and lost AN eye
and part of his nose in drunken
brawl. Fancying that no one could
detect him, he returned to Paris and
went boldly about the streets; but, be-
ing arrested on suspicion. he was
brought before Nidocl, who at once
recognized him and sent him back TO
work out his term.

Slaughter of the Baby Seals on the
differing lee FlOcs.
Never shall Il man who has once
watched the slaughter of fur seui
herd forget the CHASTITY sight From
the deck of the blunt nosel sealing
steamer you cam count thousands upon
thousands of seal families stretched
out OH the glistening ice foes, the dark
notified bodies of the adults standing
out in high relief against the blue white
ness of their loating homes, while the
snow white fur of the baby seal blends
almost imperceptibly into the back
ground. Out from the ship, hurrying
over the ice, rush nearly 200 men Of
the crew, each armed with an iron
tipped club. From near and far go up
the agoniZed cries of the terrified seals.
Hopping along over the ice, the adults
rush frantically for the water, doing
their best to hurry their young with
them.
In most cases their way of escape il
cut off by the sealers. With a blow OF
the iron bound club the skull Of the
seal pup is crushed, its blood staining
the Wilderness of the foe, while its
parents are allowed to get away in
safety.-Technical World Magazine.
