SEALING IN LABRADOR.

Fields Many Mile* Square fairly Teeming With Seals.

Late in February tba Newfoundland sealing steamers break through the ico in St. John's harbor and make their •way to some northern outposts, lying there until March 10, the earliest date on which the law allows them to "go to the ice. They stand out to sea until they meet the immense fields of ice from the Arctic ocean. These fields are often many square miles in extent and fairly teem with seals. A great 6eal hunter told me that the sea seemed suddenly converted into an ocean of seals and ice. The 6teamer breaks into the jam and floats with it or skirts along the edge, the crew, 200 or 800 in number, taking to the floating ice and living there for days and nights.

The young sealB fatten so rapidly that sealers say you can actually see them grow while you are looking at them. The poor creatures are easily killed, a blow with the butt end of a gaff finishing them. The hunter then "sculps," or skins them, inserting a sharp knife under the fat, and with marvelous dexterity taking off the "pelt"—skin and fat together—in about a minute and a half. A party of men will "pan" their pelts—pile them up to the number of about 1,000 and thrust a gaff with the Bhip's flag into the pan. When there are pans enough, the steamer breaks into the ice and hauls them aboard with a donkey winch, or the men drag them to the vessel's side.

The Newfoundland sealy hanters always speak of seals as "swiles," and for our word carry they say "spell. A schoolmaster who had been listening to a seal hunter's story said sneeringly: "Swiles! How do you spell swiles?" "We don't spell 'em," replied the hunter "wo most genorally hauls *'em!"—Gustav Kobbo in St Nicholas.

Kleptomania.

To believe a French writer, there are no few or than 4,000 women caught every year in stealing during tbeir shopping expedi tions, a habit euphoniously styled kleptomania. The lwmbor of titled ladies noised with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tolls us, is almost incredible. Among the most recent culprits wore a Russian princess, a French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of a reigning sovereign. As a rule, these more distinguished offenders are let off on tho payment of a round sum for the relief of :.he poor, and when the shoplifter is known to be rich the sum exacted rises to as much as 10,000 francs. The police authorities consent to this sort of condonation. —Baltimore Sun.

Where the Best Horses Are Found.

The best driving and carriago horses come, I think, from Maine and Vermont, being tougher, as a rule, than the Kentucky horses and no less intelligent High steppers for the mo6t part are natives of Maine or of Canada. Western horses, especially those from Indiana, Iowa and Ohio, are corn fed and soft, and they often lack that "quality" which the Kentucky horses derive from the thoroughbred strain in their blood. The best hunters, perhaps the best combination sad lie and harness horsete, come from the Qenesee valley, where there is a great deal of good blood, and where real fox hunting is pursued.— Century

RAIN INDICATIONS.

Why Olmu CHmda Tell Wltk Atmool AVwtata Certainty of Coming BUms.

In order to better understand the tola plaoed by cirrus olouds as rain indicators, we must first discuss the causes of these occurrences. A study of th« weather indications and barometrical readings, as they appear in our daily papeza from the report of oar "Weather Bureau, shows that areas of high or low air pressure are constantly passing over the earth's surfaoe in irregular suooession. The areas of high atmospheno pressure—or barometric maxima, meteorologically expressed—stay longer in one locality than tho areas of low pressure— the depression or barometrical minima. These last are more or less dofined currents of air, which circle in the form of wind around the region of tho lowest atmospheric pressure, moving always from north to west or from Eouth to east—tho reverse of the hands of a clock. It must not be imagined, however, that tho air simply moves around this aroa of depression, but rather that it is constantly being drawn into its center and is carried upward in great whirls or spirals. As tho air rises, it

difference

ex­

pands and becomes colder. The vapors it contains condense into clouds and finally are transformed into rain. The center

of

the barometrical depression ia

thereforo marked by cloudy, rainy weather. Tho wind which encircles the depression

becomes

more active as the

tho atmospheric pressure

becomes more marked, or, in other words, as tho barometer falls. In brief, therefore, barometrical depressions are caused by huge ascending spirals, or whirls of air, which are carried upward to extreme heights, and from thero aro wafted in any direction. In theso heights tho humidity of the atmosphere is frozen and is wafted away in closed forms which are composed of ice crystals. These aro nono other than cirrus clouds, and they may float several hundred miles from tho seat of tho depression. It will now bo soen why cirrus clouds may be justly regarded as forerunners of rain, even when they make thoir appearance in clear weather. They tell with absolute certainty of an approaching atmospheric* depression, and this is substantiated by a gradual falling of the barometer soon after they make their appearance.—Home and Country.

THE WILDEST LAND.

Oregon Has the Honor of Having the Roughest Tract Known to Man.

Assistant Chief Goode of the United States geological survey, who visited Oregon last summer, says that the wildest region of the entiro United States is an area of 1,000 square miles lying in the mountains between Roseburg and Coquille in Douglas and Coos counties.

He describes it as a mysterious undiscovered country, in which roams undisturbed wild gamo, and whose brooks and rivers are filled with wild fowL It is nearly all oovered with a dense growth of pine, fir, hemlock and other trees. Many of the trees aro of enormous size and stand so closely that it is difficult for men to make their way between them. Where the trees are not so thick tho heavy growth of bushes of vn rious kinds takes their place.

It is a country that is filled with nil kiods_ oj v?ild game, including, as reported to him, elk, different kinds of bear, mountain lionp, doer and othor animals, includiug lynx and others. There are also the varied kinds of fowl. The utreams all H.ve an abundance of trout and other kinds of fish. Ho penetrated into the wilds a dozen miles and saw things that filled him with wonder at the voatnees of the forest, and that any one should attempt to live in it.— Northwest Magazine.

A ooat buttoned down the front, with a deep oollar or small capo reaching to tho shoulders, is a good style fo? a boy. B« snro to protect his feet with overshoes and long gaitera when he goes out. It is very important to have tho feet warm as well as dry. Neglect of this precaution^ apt to bring on an attack of croup in children who aro predisposed to it, and it is a'fruitful source of colds. A woolen Tam O'Shanter is a pretty head covering when it is not necessary to cover the ears. In that case have a felt hat trimmed with velvet and broad Btrings to tio under tho chin. The three cornered continental hat is still worn and is very picturesque.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Mining In the Arctic Circle.

Jew pouple are probably aware of the fact that modern industry has already got a foothold in the arctio regions, and that mines are worked on a largo scale and a railroad regularly operated in

Buch

high latitudes. Thia ia

the case in Sweden, where the LuleaGellivare railroad, built for tho purpose of carrying iron ore from the Gellivare mines to tho seaport at Lulea, extends 50 miles above the arctic circle and enjoys the distinction of being the first railroad to open up the frigid zone. GelMvaro excursion trains will yet be running to arctic summer resorts. In the meantime explorers will keep on bunting for lecture material and returning to civilization to peddle it out on tho platform.—New Orleans Picayune.
