law now In force it
IS illegal to kill seals adjoining
United States islands off Alaska but
the government kills several thousand
seals each wear to provide food for
natives.
Heretofore the skins of these gov

ship on the American trade and the
American consumer because there
has been a so per cent duty on gar

field has abolished the plan of selling
the government procured seal skins
in London and hereafter they will be

Apropo the subject of seal hunting
it may be mentioned that many scien-

NIT of the killing of more male seals.
This because of the fact many male
seals become injured fighting over
desirable mates. The seal is a poly
gamist. The larger and stronger
males have from 20 to 40 COWS, ac-
cording to the fighting strength Of
the head of the family. This state of
affairs naturally produces many bach
elors and there is constant war be-
tween those who have harems and
those who have none. The warfare
results in frequent fatalities. 1t is the
contention of those who favor more
seal hunting that 1t would tend to
conserve the seal herds to kill off the
troublesome bachelors. Whether that
contention is right or is prompted by
selfish motive on the part of fur
traders Is a matter for doubt. Con-
gress took the other view of the mat
ter and has placed a five year taboo
on all seal killing save where seals
are slain to provide food for natives.

SHOULD WE CELEBRATE
ON THE I'd OF IULY7

On the Sd Of July, 1778. John Ad-
ans, then one Of the representatives
of Massachusetts, in the Continental
congress. wrote to his wife. Abigail:
Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated In
America, and a greater perhaps never
was nor win be decided among men,"
In a second letter, written the same
day, he said:
But the day is past The I'd OF
July will be the most memorable
epoch In the history Of America. 1
am apt to believe that 1t will be cele-
brated by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival. 1t
ought to be commemorated as the day
OF d~eliverance by solemn acts Of devo-
ton to God Almighty. 1t ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows. games, sports, guns, bells.
bonfires and Nominations, from one
end of this continent to the other. from
this time forward, forevermore."
When the resolution was taken up
on the I'd all the states, except New
York. voted to accept 1t. Thus on the
I'd day of July. 1776, the independence
Of the thirteen united colonies from
the throne of Great Britain was def
nitely decided upon. The I'd and not
the 4th may be called the true date of
the separation. We could with pro.
priety celebrate the Fourth two days
earlier. That the participants In the
work considered the I'd as the true
date is shown by the letters written
by John Adams, quoted at the begin
ming of this article. The popular fancy,
however. seized upon the Fourth. the
date of acceptance of Jefferson's more
dramatic declaration of the reasons for
the separation, as the proper day to
celebrate. The debate upon the docu
ment was continued until the after
noon OF the Fourth and, says Jefferson.

other season of the year.

thick and fierce. allghting on the legs
of the delegates and biting hard

Treason was preferable to discomfort"
and at last the delegates were brought
to such a state of mind as to agree to
the Declaration without further amend

It Is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. 1t Is improbable that any
signing was done ave by John Han
