PELAGIC FUR -SEALERS,
THER :DOMING SEASON PROMISES TO
BE VERY DESTRUCTIVE.
The British and American Fie e t—Mothods
of the Open -Water Hunter—A Typical
Sealing Schooner and Eter Crew—Whea
the Start ifade.
Tke coming summer season in the Bering
Sea and the Northern Pacific Ocean bids
fair to he the most active and destructive
ever known in the brief history ot the
open -water hunters of the fur seal; a larger
fleet of vessels, a larger number of hunters,
and larger knowledge on the part of the
hers how and where to kill the .swim-
ming or sleeping seals, causes the operations
of these pelagic sealers to be far more effec-
tive than ever before, provided they are
not checked; and they should be checked
before the middle of June next, or not
much later at the most, if the Pribylor
eeed herd is to be isa.ved, from substantial
ruin.
Over 100 vessels, American and British,
manned by sotne 2,000 white men and In-
diaus, are now hunting the fur seal in the
open waters of the North Pacific Ocean ;
and as that animal leaves the Pacific and
enters- Bering Sea by.the end of June and
the lOta of July, these sealers will, if per-
mitted, follow it up to those islands of its
birth in Bering Sea known as the Pribylov
group.
Thernethods of the open -water hunter are
the methods of indiscriminate slaughter of
all ages and both sexes (90 per cent. fe-
males,. The fur seals are shot by the
white hunters as they deploy out from their
echooners over the surface of the sea.
A typical sealing schooner is of about 50
to 60 tons, and manned with some 15 to 20
Indians (recruited at Victoria, British
Columbia, principally) and six or seven
white men.
These hunters start in every year off the
Strait of Fuca and the coast of Oregon by
the middle of February, since the fur seals
appear off there for the first, time after leav-
ing the Seal Islands, in Bering Sea, during
October and November of last, year ; the
schooners then follow the seal hard up as it
travels north and west, back into Bering
See, keeping well abreast of the movements
of the animals. Were it not, for severe
gales and thick fogs, the seal herd would
never get out of the range of these vessels.
As it is, they are followed, in spite of.these
difficulties, very closely, a.nd shameful de-
struction wrought among them.
When the wind is not fresh and the sea
not over -rough, the fur seal sleepat times
by lying on its back, with its noee and
heels only just projecting above the water.
When thus napping, the Indians rseldom
fail to secure it, by spearing; the Indians
do all their sealing in this manner, not
taking well to the rifle or shot -gun.
But the aleeping seals are not the only
class. When not sleeping, they are feed-
ing, and then show themselves, head and
neck out of water, at irregular intervals.
These scale thus engaged cannot be ap-
proached by spniring, so they are shot at.
The niunber killed and wounded by shoot-
ing in generally said to be four or five times
greatet than the number secured after
shooting, since a peculiarity of the seal is
to sink inatantly after being clean shot;
and, also, being wounded, it will at once
dive and, swim away, unless wounded in
the head so as to daze or derange it ; then
it flounders about on the surface, and is
easily picked up by the huntere. The
hunters can secure and do get a number of
their clean -killed seals, if they happen to
be near enough to get over the wake of
the settling bodies before they sink too
deep for gaffing. Every boat is provided
with a long pole, with hooks at one end,
called a. "seal gaff."
Last year these pelagic sealers secured
nearly 63,000 fur seals in this manner. It
is said by those who have carefully consid-
ered the question that three adult seals are
lost to every one secured ; therefore the
63,000 represent a loss of at least 150, -
and as most of therm seals are females
tr advaneed in pregnancy, it points with
ereat rertainty to a real loss of inore than
leo orso meale. --Harper's Weekly, April 9.

might lust as well drink at home. A doctor
was saying the other day that bars have a
peculiar fascination for men who are not by
nature born to inebrity that is most deplor-
able. One case was cited of a in who was
free to drink as he choose, who hail no
family, and who lived alone in handsome
apartments. In his own room he had every
kind of choice liquor. Yet, except when
the friends came to see him, he never
brought out his liquor but bought all he
drank in public bars. If he were about to
enter his house and desired a little whiskey
he would turn -about and go as many blocks
as was necessary to fled a bar -room. Then
it got so he would go out in the stormiest
of nights, and on more than one occasion he
rose from his bed, dressed himself and
went out in a freezing cold when he might
have helped himself at his own sideboard.
It is 9. distinct development of a certain
moral character that is not uninteresting.
Questioning a man pdsaessed of the habit, I
received an explanation that is suggestive
if not satisfactory. .
"I have met many hard -drinkers," says
he, "who prefer to shut ahemselve np alone
in a room and empty bottles swiftly with-
out anything to distract their attention
from the exercise. The nervous imbiber,
however, who is not a drunkard, but a very
common product of these hard -riding days,
feels depressed when he helps himselfito a
drink in his own bowie. With such a man
whiskey and silence are not compatible..
The act of entering a 'handsome bar -room,
and giving his order, of receiving a strange
bottle, and of pouring out the liquor while
there is life and movement all about him,
brings him up and gives him a trifle of
enthusiasm. Then he really loves to pay
for his drink. It does not gem precious if
he gets it, as it were, free at home. Then
there is the pleasure of catching -up a ker-
nel of parched corn from the end of the bar,
or an olive from the lunch table. There is
the rush of faces, the bustle of agile ser-
vants in their white coats, the glitter and
click of glassware and the pungent flavor
of lemon in the air. It is all a distinct
fascination, and I have no doubt an im-
mense trade has been bnilt up by the bars
of this city among a class that would well
nigh be teetotallers if the town was pro-
hibition. I don't believe in prohibition
myself, and I think the record shows that
it never prohibits ; but I am sure that if
there were no bar -rooms in New York we
should at least do away with the nervous,
imaginative drinker who get n some romance
from the experience of going up to a bar
and receiving stimuleut amid joyous sur-
roundings."—New York Letter in Pittsburg

Tho Fickleness of Fortune.
Learn how quickly , turns the wheel of
fortune; from how high up to how far down
went Nebuchadnezzar. Those now in places
of position and power, even though they
should live, will in a few years -be disregard-
ed, while some who ere this day 8bscurio
and poverty-stricken will ride up on the
shoulders pf the people to take their turn at
admiration and the spoils of office. Oh,
how quickly the wheel turns! Ballot bo ers
are the steps on which men come down
. often as they go up. Of those who wer a
few years ago successful ina the accumula-
tion of property, how few have not met with
reverses of fortune, while many of those
who then were straitened in circumstance
now hold the bondsandthe bank keys of
the nation and win the most bows on the
exchange. Of all fickle people in the world
Fortune is the most fickle. Every day
changes her mind, and woe to that man
who puts any confidence in what she prom-
ises or proposes. She cheers when you
go up and she laughs when you come down.
Oh, trust not a moment your heart's affec-
tions to this changeable world. Anchor
your soul in God: Froni Christ's love gather
your joy. Then, come sorrow or gladness,
success or defeat, riches or poverty, honor
or disgrace, health or sickness, life or death,
time or eternity, all are yours and ye are

mind—a drum and fife struck up in the
street. To a man the audience turned their
heads and looked ont of the open doors and
wiudwa s. It are 'red iny self-esteem in a
moment. I • atr't he much of a fellow,
anyway,' thouga t 1, • if these people think
more about a orun. and life in the street
than they do alteut my poem ;' and I finish-
ed,' flaid Dr. Ileltnee, • in a more humble
frame of mind."
But in the mind of Dr. McKenzie, of
Cambridge, Dr. Holmes need not have been
chagrined at thie incident. Not long ago
Dr. McKenzie was lecturing in a euburban
town, and in the course of one of bis bril-
liant passages the Church stood in need of
ventilation. The sexton approached a win-
dow with the apparent intention of opening
it, when the reverend doctor paused in his
sermon until the operation was completed.
"1 always pause," he explained, "When an
interruption of that sort ocours, for it is
second nature for people to turn and watch
the operation. I believe that if Demos-
thenes himself were speaking before an
Athenian audience, and some one ehould
rise to open a door, every man would turn
and look toward the door."
Dwight L. Moody had a different way of
dealing with such matters. When he was
preaching once before an immense audience,
the cry of a ohild was heard in the gallery.
Instantly every head began to turn about,
when Mr. Moody, in his magnetic way,
cried out: "Now don't do that please.
Don't turn round and geze and mortify that
mother. She has brought her baby because
she wants to hear the Gospel and can't
leave the baby at home. Let the child cry-;
I will try and hold my own." And he went
on with his discourse regardless of the wails
of the baby,which soon ceased. Dr. Holmes
need not have considered himself crushed
by a drum and fife if the opening of a win-
dow or the cry of a child are more 'Meetly()
to an audience than the eloquence of Dr.
McKenzie or the magnetism ot Mr. Moody.

Nitrate of Soda for Small
Fruits.
In considering the subject of manures for
the coming season, it will interest many of
our readers to note the testimony of Joseph
Harris, of Moreton Farm, the well-known
writer and author of "Talks on Manures,"
etc. In his essay upon the use of nitrate of
soda for manure, he says : "The strawberry
grower knows the value of water. if he
will try nitrate of soda on strawberries, he
will find it wonderfully efficacious.
"The effect of nitrate of soda on straw-
berries in the dry climatei, of the United
States is very beneficial. not only -doubles
or trebles the yield, but the strawberriee,
are larger and handsomer, and consequently
command a much higher price in market,
No ordinary amount of manure will pro-
duce so great an effect, for the reason that
the plants grow and form their fruit early in
the season. The nitrate of soda furnishes
the plants with nitrate acid before
the nitrogen of the manure Can be con-
verted into the essential ingredient of plant
food.
"A few years ago we publialsed a state-
ment .in regard to the astonishing effect of a
large dressing of nitrate of soda en an old
strawberry bed. The bed had been neglect-
ed and was full of grass and weeds. At
that time we had never used nitrate of sods
on strawberries and did not know but that
it might injure them. The bed we alluded
to was run out and so evorthlesS that we did
not care whether the nitrate killed the plants
or not. We gave the bed two or three
heavy dressings, sown broadcast early in
the spring and a few weeks later. Instead
of killing the plants, the nitrate made them
grow so vigorously that witb a little a,ssis-
tance from a sharp hoe and by pulling out
the large weeds, the strawberries killed out
nearly all the grass, and we had a remarka-
bly fine crop of fruit. Since then we have
used nitrate of soda and superphosphate on
all our strawberry plantations, and find this
dressing far more effective and econorriival
than ordinary manure.
" Nitrate of soda he at least, equally as
good for raspberries as for strawberries. On
currants, with clean cultivation, we have for
several years raised large crops of fine fruit,
with a top -dressing of nitrate of soda alone,
applied on each side of the rows early in the
spring.
"On poorer land, it would be desirable
to apply superphosphate and potash in
the autumn, and plow or cultivate them
in, and the following spring, and in fact
every spring, give a dressing of nitrate of
soda."
Professor Messey records tome very amaz-
ing results from the application of 300
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, upon an
exhausted and foul strawberry bed in its
fifth year of bearing.
