wnx DO seals Swallow stonesf

No nature student seems yet to have
discovered for what reason seals swal
low stones, though the fact is we'll
established one Certainly the stones
are nor taken IN for ballast. for the
empty seals keep down as easily as the
others. They are not swallowed for
he purpose Of grinding up food, for
they are found in the stomachs OF
nursing pups. They are not taken in
with the food because they are found
IN the stonachs of both young seals
and In those that live in the open sea
and feed OH squid. Yet it is evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphazard but are selected with con
siderable care from the articles strewn
along the shore. and that preference
Is exhibited for roun,.ed objects. This
h shown by the fact that. as rule.
only articles of one kind are found In
any one seals stomach.

IN PRAISE OF THE L0AFER

Confidence and the Friendship Of
His Fellows.

AS q profession, of course, loafins
Is not to be thought of, for the loaf.
er then becomes an object of con.
tempt and there is something wrong
with the man who courts contemnt
But loafing as an avocation is an.
other thing; and the successful loafer
In that sense is person of parts. n
source of wonder and an example for
beginners. Loafing should not be con.
fused with apathetic inactivity. Your
true loafer is honest with himself and
the world, loafing deliberately and
openly, never apologizing for his aver
sion to labor; and his thoughts never
descend below devising new schemes
for pleasant loafing. The loafer who
merely sits inert is loiterer and will
bear watching, but the loafer who is
alive to what is going on about him
and takes a healthy interest in life
and affairs seldom arouses distrust
or suspicion.
On the contrary, he usually invites
confidence and the friendship of those
less abundantlr gifted. The social
qualities are his particular hobby. He
applies himself to the business of be-
ing useful to those who do not nat
urally claim attention; he cultivates
I pleasant view of life which makes
his smile sincere and his handclasp
cheering.

Uses Eat TO Best BURGLAR.

A baseball bat was used by John
Kearney Of West Philadelphia, to sub.
due burglar who attacked him in the
cellar Of his home. After pummeling
the intruder until he howled for mercy
Kearney turned him over to the po-
lice.
Kearney awakened before daylight
and smelled gas. After careful daylight
examination of the rooms Of the first
noor, he made his way to the cellar
At the bottom OF the stairs a man
jumped on Kearney's shoulders and a
struggle followed. Jars Of raspberry
jam, tomatoes, pickles. and other pre-
serves were smashed during the COM
bat. At last one of Kearney's hands
closed on baseball bat as the two
men rolled about the floor
Wrenching himself loose, he swung
the bat against the burglars head and
repeated the operation until the man
