Protest a Happy Ending.

The Paris correspondent Of the Pail
Mall Gazette recently reported a curl
Gus suit that should interest the read
ers of Flaubcrt's romance of Carthage.
The action was brought by the niece Of
Gustave Flaubert against the adapters
of "Salammbo" for the cinema.
Flaubert, it will he remembered,
finishes his novel with the mObbing
and death of MathOs before the eyes
of his mistress, who seems entirely
indifferent to his fate. This would not
do for the film. The adapters not only
save the generals life, but ring down
the curtain with the marriage of the
lovers, who olive happily together ever
after" and have a multitude Of chill
dren to grace their old age.
This platonic and commonplace end
ing to masterpiece" Mortified the
dilettantes, who made so much fuss
about the caricaturing of the story
that Flaubert's literary executor felt
compelled to take the matter up, and
has appealed to the courts for redress.

HOW ESK|NOs HUNT THE SEAL
Pursuers of Rich-Furred Animals
Sneak Up Close Enough to Shoot
, Arrow Into Their Head.

Today the Eskimo method of hunt
ing seals is primitive calling im-
proved to five art. writes natural-
list. When a seal is discovered the di-
rection of the wind is at once noted.
Then the hunter, keeping himself to
the leeward of the seal, walks up to
within about quarter of a mile Of II.
Beyond this he begins to crouch and
advances only when the seals head is
down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wide-awake of animals and has the
habit of throwing up it's head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, It follows that the Eskimo has
TO be extremely alert If he would get
his seal. When the seals head is down
upon the ice its eyes are shut, and it
is said that in these brief intervals it
takes its sleep.
The hunter, by carefully watching
the seals movements, is able without
much difficulty to get within about 200
yards of it, but at closer quarters he
is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head is down the
hunter, who keeps keen eye on his
prey, is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his ell
bows. This maneuvering continues for
some time, until the distance between
man and beast has been reduced to a
few yards.
When near enough to make a sure
shot, the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends swift
shaft through the head of it's outwitted
companion.

Shoes Worn in Early DAYS.

! High-heeled boots were worn by
ladies' for three parts of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes of
wood, reeds and untanned leather.
The Highlander made broganS out of
untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and Slip
pers. 1t was not until the year 1900
that an Englishman invented rights
and lefts;" previously both shoes were
shaped, exactly alike. SO far, as we
can discover, the aboriginal tribes Of

always made and wore moccasins, the
easiest shoe ever invented.
