TOO MANY BACHELOR SEALS
Reserve Increasing at Rate of 1000
Unnecessary Bull Seals Every
Year.

A complete count of the pups born
to the fur seals Of the Pribiloff islands
has been made each season since 1912,
the year after pelagic sealing was sus-
pended by international treaty. The
count for 1915 shows a total of 103.-
527 pups. which means 103,527 moth
ers. This shows that the herd is being
restored to normal growth.
But Prof. George Archibald Clark OF
Stanford university, California, points
out in an article in Science that there
has also been an abnormal increase in
the number of young males, what he
calls the reserve" increasing at about
1000 unnecessary bull seals every
year. Of these there are about $1,000
now. The danger lies in their attacks
upon the massed rookery portions as
they desire to set up harems CT their
OWL. This keeps the breeding grounds
in continual state of battle, result,
ing in injury to maRy mother seals and
the trampling of the pups.
It also means that when the fishery
is resumed the grounds will be over
run by hordes Of savage fighting bulls.

Early to Bed. Early to Rise.

Who wouldn't be farmer II ne
could choose his occupation? in ad-
dition to the assured wealth that
awaits the agriculturist because OF the
high prices Of his products it now ap-
pears, from statistics Of the depart
ment of labor, that he among ali CALL
ings attains the highest average age,
fifty-eisht years six months. Book
keepers and Office assistants. on the
other hand, die very young, at thirty
six years six months, whGn they have
hardly begun to live. The moral OF
these figures is obvious. Let the BOOK
keepers forsake their stools and hle
themselves to q farm. Thereby they
will be greatly prolonging their own
lives and helping to support their tel
low beings. In the city they are doomed
to tuberculosis and other diseases

nslsvery" In South America.

Timid, cringing, taking off his hat
respectfully to every white man ne
meets, the Indian Of the west coast
OF South America is pitiable OBJ
ject, says World Outlook.
In the cities he shares with the
burro the honor of being everybodys
burden bearer. No one but an Indian
will be seen with even the smallest
package and you can engage a descend
ant of the children of the sun" to
carry home anything from half a
nound Of tea to 200-pound trunk. You
nav him what you will, he dares not
chatter about price with awhile man.
On the great plantations and in the
mines the Indian is virtual Save.
There is no free agricultural labor on
the west coast. -Four days a week,
the peon must work for the great land
holders at the munifcent wage of ten
cents q day. The rest Of the time he
NAV devote to his own acre or two
which must feed and clothe his
family.

Girls PLAY Hockey.

The fair sex has taken up the game
Of hockey in earnest in New York and
q girls league has been formed in
the metropolis. A call was sent out
not long ago to those who wished to
play the game and 800 responded.
Hockey has long been recognized as
one of the most dangerous of the
strenuous sports and only the hardest
of men care to take the risks in
volved. There is always the danger
Of having your cheek laid open by q
slash from hockey stick or your
teeth removed by a swift flying puck
or shins barked, Tot to mention the
thousand and one different kinds of
falls that are always imminent, when
a sheet of Slippery ice is your only
support.
But the girls do not seem to mind
the dangers involved. Those making
up the different teams in the league
have become quite proficient in the
game and many exciting matches are
played By them. Now they are ready
to meet the best Of the girl teams Of
Canada, where they have been play
ing the game for a long time.

Ship and It's Gender.

The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese and possesses no sex IN Ieutonlc
and Scandinavian, remarks the Marine
Journal.
Perhaps it would not be an error to
trace the custom of feminiZing ships
back to the Greeks, who called them by
feminine names, probably out OF defer
ence to Athene, goddess Of the sea.
But the English-speaking sailor, as
signs no such reasons. The ship to
him is always a lady, even though she
be man-o'-war. She possesses waist,
collars. Gays, laces, bonnets, ties, rib
ocI.s. chains, watches and dozens Of
other distinctly feminine attributes.

GRIsT MILLS OF OLD GONE
Hardly More Than Generation Ago
They Were to Be Found Within
Few Miles of Zach Meighborhood.

The report published in Bridgeport
newspaper that the owner CT q grtSt
mill at Sandy Hook, Conn.,, having Sc
cured a few bags of wheat, ground it
up and sold it to his neishbors, to be
mixed with Western flour, the result
being a cheaper material for bread,
brings us back to the days OF hardly
more than a generation ago, when
Northern farmers produced grain On
their farms and had 1t ground in the
neighboring grist mill, then an insti-
tuition to be found within q few miles
of every neighborhood, says the Provi-
dence Journal. There was no lndica-
ton in those days that the ground
product Of the grain, whether corn or
wheat, was inferior to any produced
elsewhere. But now with the advent
of modern machinery our civilization
seems to demand flour from which
every particle Of nutritious gluten, so
far as it tends TO discolor the flour, is
eliminated. AS for homegrown, home
ground cornmeal, that is rarity
known only to few old-time epicures
and secused by them with considerable
difficulty.
In the southern Appalachians, how
ever, the old-time grist mill is still in
use. The farmers there raise their
own corn, and the miller grinds it as
they desire it, usually. a bushel at a
grist,' from which the miller reserves
measure for his toll. In the Pied
mont section of North Carolina and
Virginia, where wheat is grown. there
are flour mills for grinding the farm
ers' wheat, and the product is every
bit as. good as that Of our Western
mills, although it may not be quite up
to their staptlard Of whiteness. Be-
fore the Civil war entire cargoes Of
Virginia flour were shipped from Rich
mond to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and
their values returned in shipments of
coffee, but the war ended that trade
and it never has been revived.

TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
cur;csity, Greed and Initiative Faculty
Of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.

When we see in the street an Or
gan-9rindcr with his little rcd-capped
pet monkey. we seldom stop to think
OF the animals native home or how it
vas trapped. AS matter Of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The aforementioned
have noStriIs widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with a narrow nasal septum.
Ona might readily imagine that the
trapping Of monkeys is difficult op
GRAFTON. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this hy-
pothesjs. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps, but by
sheer ingenuity aud the simplest SORT
Of actiGces. A monkey has various yul-
nerabTe points Of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidity, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and truly Won
derful initiative faculty.
a trapper can take a pair of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight Of a monkey and soon have
that monkey in 4 cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here is where
the monkey is mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
scends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast;
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain a gourd,
filled with corn or some other eatable,
to a heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relishes it, and
wants more. There is no limit to his
greed. He thrustS his hand into the
Smalt opening in the gourd and his
fingers close around large supply OF
the food. Then he finds himself I'M
able to withdraw his hand. The trap
Per advances and captures Mr.. Mon
key, because the animals thinking
cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedieEt of releasing
the food never occurs to him as a
means of escape.

"s'lIv ~ iNEEa IS DYING HARD
That Enornity CT Crude Social Con.
dt:onS IS Still practiced in
Some Places

That cnor,aity OF crude social condi-
;ionS, the c1l;.riv;ri. o.. to follow the
popular pronunciation, 'shivaree,
seems TO die hard in the dominion.
Some weeks ago a number of young
men Of Il district near Woodstock, in
Ontario, entered the home Of a recent
~ married couple, bound both hand
and foot and carried them to the barn
on Il wheclbarrOw. There they re-
moved the clothes of the husband and
sineared his body with oil and chaff.
They had no excuse to offer in court
except that they were "shivareeing'
the young man and his wife. Small
fi:>s We're imposed on them, which ac-
ton suggests .tliat at least a little
progress toward a Dig,ler civilization
is b2ii;g made in the neck Of the woods;
of which they are denizens. Beside
such conduct as that described, the in
antics so often practiced at weddings
are insignificant, yet they should be
consistently discouraged. Guests at
these ceremonies ought to keep their
pleasantries from marring the happi-
ness of the bride and groom and their
families; especially, Of course, should
they refrain from practicing such friv-
OlitieS as place the victims in peril of
positive bodily harm.

ONCE BUSY CITY NOW QUIET
Wisby Has Little to Show That It Was
at One Time Live!iest Place OF
Its Size in Europe.

To. the eastward of Sweden, in the
inhospitable Baltic, lies the great
island of Gothland, with it's capital Of
Wisby. Little visited and little known,
Wisby is one Of the most interesting
cities of northern Europe. 1t is in the
track Of half the Russian and Scandi-
naviap sea commerce, but few ships
make the land today in which was once
the busiest of northern harbors.
Land at Wisby and you fnd q quiet
little city with Uncovered houses and
gardens Of roses, going about its unlm-
portant affairs IN an atmosphere Of
placid calm. It takes a considerable
effort OF the ina magination to call up a
picture of the times when Wisby was
to the Baltic and the North sea what
Venice in the height of her power was
to the Mediterranean. Wisby in those
days was the wealthiest and Hyellest
city of it's size in Europe.
The men Of Wisby seem to have been
traders from the beginning. Back in
the ancient Morse chronicles there is
mention made Of Wisby galleys that
went all over the known globe and
traded the treasures of the Levant
with Morse kings. Today they are still
digging about in a desultory fashion
on the island in search Of historical
relics and the shovelS bring up coins
Of all the ancient nations coins OF Old
Britain, Of barbarian Russia, OF the
numberless German states, Of France
and Spain and ncrth Africa. Wisby
gathered the gold Of every land with
her venturous trading keels, in times
when little business trip had as much
romance and danger as the forays OF
knight errant fighting over his iady's
eyebrow.

The County Fair.


From The Daily tern, Nov. 20.
The attendance at the Couny Fair
this morning was not up to expecta-
lions, although there WAS a large
crowd in town and the streets had an
animated and busy aspect. Thus far
the attendance at the fair has been
considerably less than last year, bu:
there are indications that the crowd
on the grounds this afternoon will be
considerably greater than during the
morning. The poultry exhibit is es-
pecially fine this year, although not as
extensive as IN previous years. The
quality of the birds shown is unusual
ly high, evidencing that the fanciers

The agricultural machinery dis
play is large and particularly inter
esting-one which every progressive
farmer in this section should inspect
with careful thoroughness, for it is
only by the use Of up-to-date labor
saving machinery that farming, car
hereafter be made profitable in this
section. The day Of cheap and abund-
ant labor has passed and no longer
will the farmer be able to get his
work done by hand cheaper than he
can bv the use Of machinery operate<
by intelligent workmen. The farmer
who does not familiariZe himself with
the modern farming implements
tractors, cultivators. ETC.. Will fine
himself a back number and a loser in
the immediate future. Consequently
the machinery exhibit and demonstra-
tions should attract a large crowd OF
farmers.

hogs, is not as we'll filed or as good
as it was last year Put the hog eE

the hog show is as fine as can be

The farm crop display is not as
large as last year. but the quality i:
