Eskimo Seal Hunting.

When once lie has gone to the trouble
OF splicing fine spear handle the Es-
kimo does not wish to break it, so the
point is put on with a toggle or joint.
When seal or Walrus is harpooned
the sudden struggle of the animal
does not break the spear but merely
unjoints the point, and the more the
animal struggles the more the point
turns crosswise in the wound and the
firmer the barbs take hold. But the
animal can not escape, for with thongs
or skin the point is connected with
the spear shaft. The animal merely
swims away or dives deep into the sea,
carrying with him the spear. The long
leather thong which is attached to it
uncoils from the deck of the kyack
and plays out. 1t carries with it
drag like a kite, which retards the
animal and exhausts him, but does
not pull hard enough to break the line.
Even this drag is made of skin stretch

the line is all played out 1t is seen to

IMMENSE RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
Has Been Greatest Ever Known Dur
ing Past Six Months.

The net shortage of freight cars in
the United States and Canada, accord
ing to the report of December IA, was
1892. and as the shortage on Novem-
Der was but 81, 1859. and in other years
the hight of the traffic movement is
about November /, it will be seen by
our readers that the freights of the
country are maintaining their very
high volume for very prolonged pc
riod.
Tables are being given publicity
every fortnight as to the shortage or
surplus of cars in the railway move
ments or demands. and, while such
shortages or surpluses can be fairly
compared with dates of recent months,
yet ii is not fair to judge the volumes
of freight moving or to be moved now
by the net shortages or SURPRISES as
compared with those of former yeare,
for the reason that the numbers of
freight cars have been greatly increas-
ed in the last two years.
To give information to the public
that will enable fairly correct COM
Darison of the tonnage of the freights
of one year with those of other years
statement of the aggregate tonnages
Should be published each fortnight or
each month, for the capacity of cars
differs so much that even the aggre-
gates of numbers of cars in actual en-
ploy, ii given, would be most I'M
even basis CT calculation for tonnage.
The table that is published fort
nightly, however, probably furnishes
the railway managers needed inform
alton as to cars in a way that serves
its purpose well, and it is with no dis
position to criticize it that we call at
tention to its failure to represent the
comparisons of actual tonnages of
freight being carried by the roads at
the different dates.
These reports for the past six months
furnish enough data to warrant the
belief that the tonnages of the railway
movement in that period have been the
largest in amount ever known, and the
financial reports of the railways of the
country have never been equaled in the
aggregate showings of amounts of net
earnings.
When the railways are so prosperous
1t may be accepted that general bust
ness IS in very fine condition.-From

Nordica was discovered seated on an

were arranged in a semi-circle about
her. AS the curtain assembled the chill

to Nordica. At the conclusion of each
verse group of young girls clad in
white stepped from the circle and form
ing line kelt to the prima donna and
then marched past, strewing flowers at
the feet of the throne. While the last
verse was being sung Nordica was
showered with flowers and two little
maidens crowned her with rose gar

ed by the homage of the children.
