The committee found that these
people practised free love, marriage
being unknown to them. The chill

unions are cared for out of the COM

and become. lost to their own parents
at an early age, becoming the free
wives of the rest of the community.
Such conditions were found to exist

MURDER OF THE SEAL.
The Way the Animals Are siaughtered
by the Hunters.

by the Hunters.
The ice echoes no footballs, SO the
murder Of the seal Is a stealthy act.
Yes. it seems like murder. On the pan
lies whitecoat alone. Up to 1t bur-
ries one of the hunters. Lifting his
bat above his head. he measures the
distance; then, swinging downward the
iron shod point he strikes the skull of
the seal such blow that it is crushed
In as If of pasteboard. Tossing aside
the bat and whipping out the scalping
knife. while the creature is still CULVER
Ing. with a swift undercut and two or
three side strokes the keen blade has
severed the hide and the layers of fat
beneath so they can be rolled into a
pelt the hide holding the fat In its
folds. The next whitecoat Is with its
parents. Their hide is coarser, but
worth having. so the gunner takes q
quick aim. lodging a charge of shot in
the head Of the growing mate just at
the base of the brain. Here the skull
Is thinnest. One of the batters stands
guard over the blowhole to prevent
the mother from escaping, while an
other bats the cub. Then the female
who would desert her offspring to save
her own life. is dubbed on the head
A few strokes of the knives and three
more bloody carcasses crimson the ice.
The pelt of the first seal is piled with
the other three in pan. The fiagmau
sticks flag by Its side, and the hunt.
ers hurry forward, leaving the pelts to
be towed back to the ship when the
hunt Is ended.
Thus the slaughter continues hour
after hour until nightfall only ends the
stroke Of the bat and thrust of the
knife. If it began at daybreak the
Held may be strewn with thousands OF
dead seals, for If the pan Of ice Is
thronged with them, as is sometimes
the case. hundred men will kill ten
times their number In a day, since most
OF the seals are harps. which seldom
try to protect their young, and are
slain without attempting to defend
themselves.-Day Allen Wiley in Met.
