Mental Preparedness.

start to self-expression enter school

prominent educator. '4They know how
to tell what Is in their mind. In asso-
ciating with other children they get
more Joy from 1t because they know
how to make themselves understood.
Older people find them more charm
ing and interesting.
Effective training toward self-eI-
preston in the young child means that
characteristic of life, and there is no
training more effective than telling him
stories and teaching him how to tell
them.
Asking about childs doings will
encourage him to tell you about them.
For instance, when your little boy
comes home from walk get him to
tell you all that he has seen while
out. When he comes in from play
get him to tell you all about the fun
he has been having.
Always make him feel your vital
interest In his thoughts and actions"

At q popular seaside resort two
rows of seats stood back to back. One
Of these faced the ocean. A silver
moon threw a luminous path across
the water, and touched with strange
radiance the breakers as they broke
in foam on the sand. A red signal
light in the distance blinked Its warn
ing. Overhead the stars looked down
silently. Seated there one forgot the
the noisy jostle of the busy world, and
felt life's beauty and majesty.
The adjacent seats faced in the op-
posite direction. The occupants looked
on a merry-go-round and a screen on
which moving pictures were being
thrown. This bench was crowded. The
young people who sat there saw many
colored electric lights, in place Of the
moon and the stars, and listened to
the boisterous music of steam piano.
rather than to the laundering melody
Of the waves. They laughed over the
fantastic pictures on the screen, un-
mindful of the sublime scene over their
shoulders.
These young people, so close that
their garments touched. carried very
different impressions away from their
evening. They had been together, but
they had been facing different ways.
Some had seen the petty and belittling,
others had looked on the majestic and
uplifting and beautiful; and the life
of neither could be quite the same
after that evening.
The seaside episode has its counter
part in everyday life. We can see the

the degrading. Which way are we

Accordingly, two years ago. he decided to In

these home that he made the discovery which he
has since turned to such good account
Along the road near the Mansfield farm the
salt-bush grew In abundance and to Mr.. Mans

upon 1t greedily. He figured upon the spot that
he had destroyed $500 worth of good sheep feed
that year, besides wasting great deal of labor.
In trying to get rid of the weeds.
Last summer he pastured his entire flock of
1000 sheep on the salt-bush with the most
tonishing results The sheep were not only ex-
ceedingly fat, but their wool was of a superior
quality. Several neighborng farmers with small
hocks Of sheep followed Mr.. MansHelds expert
ment and their sheep, also, were in much better
shape than those that were taken to the noun
tans during the summer.
During a period of two weeks last summer Mr..
Mansfeld's flock Of 1000 sheep kept on less
than five acres Of ground that was growing Aus
tralian sat-bush, and they did not clean the feed
all up at that. These five acres of land were two
feed yards where he had fed stock for years and
consequently they grew immense amount of

words, % per cent of Canada is still

THE SEWARD GATEWAY SEWARD ALASKA WEDNESDAY, MAY9

The number that returned in 1915 was so large in comparison with the total number of seals under observation, as to indicate a lower mortality in the first three years of a seals life than had ordinarily been assumed.
 The plan of marketing the seal skins in this country, instead of send ing them abroad, has been a marked success, according to government ex- perts, who point out that a reliable market now exists at St. Louis which is we'll supported. This home market idea was first given definite impulse in 1915. Seal and fox skins are now dressed and dyed in St, Louis and the annual sales are attended by many home buyers.

1917 INCOME FROM SEALS
 TO BE $75O,OOO

The probable income of the govern ment from the seal herd in the fiscal year ending June 30 next will be up- ward of $75O,OOO, according to Hugh H. Smith, United States fish commits sioner, and it will increase steadily thereafter. It is the belief of Smith that the time is coming when the gov ernment will derive a net income of a million dollars year from the herd without any impairment of it,
 In addition, there is the income from foxes in Alaska, now amounting to about $6O,OOO a year. From seals and foxes the government is now mak- ing two or three times as much as is appropriated by congress for the Alaska work of the department of commerce.
 The total number of seals eStimat- ed to be in the herd in 1915, when an official count was made, was 36S,- SIP. as compared with 294,6S7 in 1914, 26S,&O5 in 1913 and 2l5,73S in 1912. The number in 1916 was 4l7329.
 
 In 1912 5,22S pups of the season were branded on the Pribilof islands. Subsequent observations made on these branded animals have been pro- ductive of valuable information in re- gard to the natural history and growth of seals. Some of these ami mals were observed in 1913 when they were noted in large numbers.
