Hair Seals and Fur Seals.

The fur seal has a sharper nose than
the hair or harbor seal, and both its
swimming fiippers and its tail fiippers
are, proportionately to its body. much
longer than those of the harbor seal.
The harbor seal, when II rests or
sleeps. climbs out on the rocks, or. in
winter, on cake Of Ice. The fur seal,
a far wider traveller. sleeps more on
the water, and when 1t sleeps it folds
the long tall fiippers up on the body
between its side fiippers, presenting
thus a curious appearance. quite IN
like the harbor seal

OUR RIGHTS.

Our rights extend just to the place
where others nights begin and not
an inch further. Before we begin
to talk about them it is well for us
to examine the boundary lines close
ly. The man who stands upon
his nights" is not always a pleasant
or well poised figure; he often has
one foot upon his neishboris ground.

CHEERFULNESS.

Cheerfulness means a contented
spirit; it means pure heart; it means
a kind and loving disposition; it
means charity; it means a generous
appreciation Of others and a modest
opinion Of oneself. Stupid people.
people who do not know how to
laugh, are always pompous and
self conceited-that is, bigoted; that
is. cruel; that is. ungende, unchan-
table.
