secure the cooperation of Great Bri-
tain being vain. The trouble has been
made worse of late by the entrance Of
japanese poachers upon the scene.
They have actually gone so far as to
make raids upon the rookeries, land
ing upon the islands, Strengthening the
animals, and making off with the skins.
Incidental to one such piratical raid,
they killed several hundred seals, and,
being in a hurry to escape, did not
hesitate to skin them alive. On this
occasion two or three of the japanese
were shot, and others were captured
the incident giving rise to some con-
troversy between our own government
and the authorities at Toxic.
The problem, taken as a whole,
presents two unfortunate aspects One
is the wanton destruction Of property
the other is the cruelty and barbarity
of the methods in wiping out one of the
most valuable of fur-bearing animals.
AS for the property, 1t is practically
gone. There seems to be no hope Of
saving it, even in part. The only way
to put a stop to the cruelty is to ex-
terminate the herd, and to this last re-
sort our government is on the point of
having recourse as may well
be imagined, with utmost reluctance

WHISPERS OF THE CAT.
Relic OF Jungle Days, When They
Protected Him.

Relic of Jungle Days, When They
Protected Him.
It Is perhaps not generally known
that cats power of discernment, espe-
cially at night, is due almost as much
to his whiskers as to his eyes. To any
one who goes to a menagerie, and looks
at the giant cats Of the forest lion
vibrLssW, as science names the hairs
that project from the muzzle and from
above the eyes, is evident enough.
They are delicate organs Of touch,
wonderful mechanisms Of warning
Each one grows from a follicle, or
gland, nerved to exquisite sensibility.
It's slightest contact with any obstacle
is distinctly felt by the animal, though
the hair itself is tough and insenslble.
Those exaggerated whiskers on the
muzzle often project to each side of
the animal so far that from point to
point they stretch to just the width of
his body.
Imagine, now, lion stealing through
jungle at night, tracking his prey,
where the stir of a twig gives alarm.
His long hairs indicate, through the
incest nerves, any object that may be in
his velvet path. A touch stops him
short before pushing through some
close thicket where the rustling leaves
and boughs would tell aloud his pres
ence. Wherever his head may be
thrust without a warning from the
vibriss@, there his body may pass
noiselessly; and it is their aid, in con-
junction with the soft cushions of his
feet, that enables him to travel as
silently as, the snake.

ROD Of the year when those who have
wandered far from their place Of birth
are invited to return and take part in
a general celebration. Rhode Island,
small In extent but mighty in its pride
of tradition, has set apart its week,
appropriately opening with Roger
Williams day." when it's absent chill
dren may come back to renew old as
sociations, and every New England
State has followed suit or is preparing
so to do. As the years go by it is
likely that a custom which was at
first peculiarly associated with New
England will spread over the CONT
nent The southeastern States, from
Virginia to Georgia, have every rea-
son in point Of age and time of settle
ment to adopt the pleasant custom.
The eastern States Of the central west
have begun to take notice of the wis
dom of the parental feeling, and If
the week is not recognized by action
Of the commonwealth as a whole the
''old home" movement has been adopted
by many counties acting on their own
initiative. There are thousands of
sons and daughters Of these States
who have gone to the far west and
who, 1t may be easily believed, think
tenderly Of the ''old home" 1t is
hardly to be denied that the asso-
clifton of many years and generations
has much to do with the real, under
lying sentimental feeling for old home
week. In the older States the home
stead may have stood for a century
and a half, the family may have lived
in the neighborheod more than that
period Of years. 1t means something
more than a mere visit to the scene Of
his childhood when the man goes back
to Virginia or New York or Massachu-
sets and participates In the formal
exercises that may be held. He Is a
part by birth not merely of the little
community In which he may have pass
ed his early years but of the whole
State, with It's accumulated wealth Of
history and tradition, to which his
ancestors have contributed. To this
extent, therefore, old home week in
the central west could not have a deep
and significant meaning. The years
are too few for celebration OF much
historical and general interest to the
returning ones. But the precedent es-
tablished by the older commemorative
is a good one, and as time goes by
more equal conditions will be present
ed, and what Is true Of New England
and the Atlantic States to-day may be
true of the younger commonwealth.
There is much that is alluring in the
expression "old home week" 1t speaks
of early happiness, of youthful ambi-
lions, of cherished associations

EMMANUEL KANT right TO InOSe VINO
considered themselves their superiors
by birth would have seemed incredible
to the feudal lords.
Rants father was saddler, a strap
maker. Emmanuel had been studious
as a child, but his people had not be-
lieved that it was within their power
to give to their son the advantages for
which he craved. Kant had made up
his mind that he would attend one Of
the universities. What sacrifices he
made in order to be able to do this
has never been disclosed. He was a
man not given to narrating his per-
sonal triumphs.
He managed to enter the university,
where he at once became noted for his
magnificent scholarship This, however,
proved of little material advantage to
him. He found that supporting him
self and studying as he had to study
was difficult work. But he managed
to succeed in both fairly well, consid-
ering the mental strain which he Ia
bored under.
His life was for the first ten years
Of his career after he left the univer-
sity one of constant keeping of the
wolf from the door. Only at the end
Of his life did remuneration come to
him. But the reward that proclaimed
him one of the greatest philosophers of
the world was great enough.
