The method followed by the natives of St. Paul's and St. George's Islands, off the Alaska coast. In capturing the fur seals is curious. During the summer season the seats frequent the shores of these islands aod jratber on the beach in vast numbers. The yonnjrer male or bnll seals are the only ones that are killed, and they are found by themselves away from the brooding rookeries. The native eoes down to the been in the ear ly morning and quietly surrounds a group of a hundredor more seals, get ting between them and the water. The seals are then alarmed with shouts and cries, and. terrified, flee inland along the only way left open to them. They are driven in this way to the killing place near the village on the shores of the island. Driving them is a very easy thing, although it takes them sometime to accomplish the distance; but they blunder along, stimulated by the cries of their captors. The old bull seals that may be in the drove are apt to show fieht, but if they do they are allow ed to drop out of the crowd, as their skins are worthless The younger ones are as easy to drive as a flock of sheep. The seals, when finally driven up on the'flats between he east landing and the village, and almost under the. win dows of the dwellings, are headed there until coo and rested. The drives are usually aiade very early in the morning at the first break of day, which is half past 1 and 2 o'clock of June nd July of these latitudes. They arrive and cool off on the slaughtering grounds, so that by 6 or 7, after breakfast, the able-bodied male population turn out from the village and go down and engage in the work of slaughter. The men are dress ed in their ordinary working garb of flannel shirts, stout cassimere or canvas pants, over which the "tarbossa" boots are drawn : if it rains they wear their "kamlaikas" made of the intestines and throats of. the seal lion and fur seal. Thus dressed, they are each armed with a club, a stout hickory bludgeon, which have been made particularly for the pur pose at New London, Conn., and im ported here for this especial service. These sealing clubs are about five or six feet in length, three inches in diameter at their heads, and the thickness of a man's forearm where they are grasped by the hands. Each native also has his stabblng-kife, his skinning knife and his whetstone ; these are laid upon the grass convenient when the work of braining or knocking the seals down Is in progress. This is all the apparatus which they have for killing aud skins ning. When the men gather for work they are under the control of their chosen foreman or chiefs; usually on St. Paul, divided into two working parties at the village, and a sub-party at a northeast point, . where another salt-house and slaughtering field is established. As the signal of the day begins by the men stepping into the drove, corralled on the flats, and driving out one hundred and one hundred and fifty seals at a time, make what they call a pod, which they surround in a circle, huddle the seals one on another as they narrow it down. until they are directly within reach and nnder their clubs. Then the chief, af ter he has cast his experienced eye over the struggling, writhing mass, passes the word that such and such a seal :s bitten, that such and such a seal is too youug, and that such and such a seal is too old ; the attention of the men being called to these points, he gives the word strike, and instantly the heivy clubs comedown and every one that is eligi ble is stretched out stunned and motion less in less time really than I take to tell it. Those seals soared by the chief now struggle from undei and over the bodies of their dead and unconscious compan ions and pass, hustled off by the natives back to the sea. Then the carcasses are skinned and the pelts prepared for shipment. The common or popular notion in re gard to sealskins is, that they are worn by those animals just as the appear when offered for sale ; that the fur seals swim about, exposing the same soft coat with which our ladies of fashion so delight to cover their tender forms during inclem ent winter. This is a very great mis take ; few skins are less attractive than is the seal skin when it is taken from the creature. The fur is not visible ; it is concealed ent:rely by a coat of stiff hair, dull, grey-brown and gnzzed. It takes three of them to make a ladies sacque and boa. Fitting them for the market is a tedious, costly process, re quiring great skill. As the summer wanes the seals for sake the Islands, and old and young take to the sea, aud it is supposed spend their intervening mouths, until next season, on the Ssbing- banks of the Morth Pacific.

Thft following remarkable facts concprninjr tha visit of a crow to the premises of Dr. Round, of Norton, was told us by a member of the family. A few mornings ago the household was awakened very early by a stranire chattering that seem ed to come from the roof, and on look ing through a skylight, a crow was seen perched there upon the housetop, and very earnestly talking to itself. Now and then it would call '-George Shaw," very distinctly, and at other times the word "boy" wonld be clearly heard. It tried its vocal powers also at imitating the hens, and, after the family were as tir, it flew down into the yard and took the house dog to task, and gave him a sound scolding. While there it seized a cocoantit shell dipper from the pump, dropped it on the grass and it seem ed a good deal vexed because the dish fell bottom up. On observing a team driv en rapidly past the house it cried out : "Whoa, boy ! whoa, boy I" The story of this remarkable bird spread rapidly throughout the neighborhood, and many people came to see it, and several un succesf ul efforts was made to capture it. At last it was secured and placed in a lien house, but seemed to think the im prisonment an insult, and was silent uu til liberated, when it flew away, and has not been seen since, Providence Jour nal. Ccttino Hay. But a short time will elapse before bay harvest will be upon us, It is a well settled fact, that fodder attains its greatest value when nearest in value to mature grass. Atter a certain point has been reached the 8eeds begin to form at the expense of the nutritious juices of the stalk, and the sugar and starch contained in the stalk are converted into woody fibre. Evly cutting is becoming more general everv year, and the antiquated notion ! that grass must ripen and attain its ereatest bulk to give its greatest value has been abaodonad Besides the fact that grass contains more nutriment when cut green, it is cerfain that the roots are in a better condition than where it has leen allowed to ripen ; the after-moth spring up and uhades the f ground from the scorching rays of the ' 8'imroer sun, where, when the grass is allowed to produce seed before leing cut for hay, the soil remains bare. It is important that when haying has begun, the crop should be gotten into the barn in the shortest time possible to cure it properly. Mowers, scythes, rakes, forks, etc., should be in readiness, that when the time arrives advantage may be taken of every hour of good weather.

Common rice, p:uehf! brown, like coffee, and then bottled and eaten in the ordinary way without any other food, is, with quietude of Ixxiy, one of the most effective remedies for trouble some looseness of bowels. Some of the severest forms of the dis tressing ailment called dysentery, that ; is, when the bowels pass blood, with . constant desire, with vain efforts to ' stool, are sometimes entirely cured by the patient eatinz a tahlespoonTul at a ! time of raw tieef cut very fine, and re ' peated at interval" of four hours, until cured, eatinpr and drinking nothing else in the meanwhile, i If a person swallow any poison what ever, or has fallen into convulsions from ' ! having an overloaded stomach, an in i stantaneons remedy, is a heaping tea . spoonful of common salt and as much ; ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a : ; teacup of water warm or cold, and swal- j lowed instantly. It is scarcely down le- j foreit begins to come up. linnaing with it the remaining contents of the stomach and lest there be any remnant of poison, ; however sma'.l, take the white of an egg : or a cup of strong ennVe as soon as the stomach is quiet ; tx-eaiisc tnee very common article nullify a very lurce ntini ler of virulent poisons than any medi- , cine in the shops. I In cases of scsiiding or burning the body, immersing the part in water eives entire relief. Mean while, get some i common white flour and apply it sn j inch thick on the injured part a soon i as it is taken from the vsatir, and keep , sprinkling on the flour through anything . ! as a peppT Ihx lid. so as to put ii on j ; evenly. Do nothing else, drink nothing , but water, at nothing until improve- ! ment commences, except some dry bread , ' softened in weak tea of some kind, j Cures of fnehtt ul bums have len made ! in this way, as wonderful as they are J painless. ; Erysliielas, a disease coming without ; premonition, and ending fatally in t tu ne j or four days. Is sometimes wry prompt ly cured by applying a poultice of raw cranberries, pounded and placed on the part over n;ght. Neuralgia and toothache are some times speedily relieved by applving to the wrist grated horse-radish. Costive bowels have an agreeable re medy on the free use of rie tomatoes at meals their seeds actingjin the way of white mustard or figs, by stimulating the cost of the bowels over which they pass, in their whole state, increased ac tion. In the case of cholera infantum in children, the best remedy we know of is the Lactic wafers, prepared by the Health Food Co., of Xew York City. If the child is too sick to swallow with out difficulty, place one of he little wa fers on the tongue, and it will le dis solved and swallowt-d. It w ill quirt the stomach almost immediately.

When the j day was eud'.'d the, rouh outline of an object that might possibly te taken for a sirene of the sea appeared, but the task j before him had only just b-pun. 1'he ' carvinp of wooden flaures is not a new ' art, but it is one in which so ft-w jn-r- j sous are engaged that little is known of i the methods of the carvers. Ttie figur es are mostly used for cicar-stands. t Some are employed in clothing tiouses, j as models to show their suits, and cir- ! cuses adorn their cilded chariots with I them. Time was w hen no vessel sailed j without a figure at its head. Every j whaler had a Neptune, a mermaid, or a jolly Jack Tar, or some other dnsicn at : he bows to be washed by the ocean ! Spray. No fishing smack was too small to be without a titure bead ot some sort. But the good old days when ab normally shaped fisure heads distingu ished' the ships have passed. Un'.y the "down Eiist'1 shipbuilders clir.e to the custom. Modern craft built elsewhere are sent out witn carved bows, perhaps, but no figurehead appears. Now and then a private yacht constructed for pleasure will be seen a figure, too artis tic in its outlines to suit the old sailor. The wood used for fijruers, no matter for what use they are put to, is white pine. The butt end of a new spar serves the purpose lest, and is generally used. When green the wood cuts much easier than when dry, and is not s liable to split. The carving is mostly done by the eye. Chalk and eneil marks are drawn on the log 111 making the general contour. If the figure is that of a man or woman, it is eight times the length of the head. Ordinarily the imMge is one solid block of wood, hut if the arm is extended a separate piece is put on so that the grain will run the right way to prevent its breaking off. Regular car vers' tools are employed, sueh as chisels, gouges, and the like. It. takes from a wees to a month of solid work to make a figure, and the price of images range from $.j0 to $ 250, according to t heir size. A meimaid 3 feet high costs $100. The tug-boats mount eagles on their bilot houses. These are worth from $40 to $74. Figures have been known to last for two hundred years, but the average life is twenty five. If & thick coat of paint is kept on them they will last much longer than If neglected. The paint closes up checks and cracks and prevents decay to a certain extent. The figures are fastened to ships' bows with bolts. There are only four or five plac es iu New York where the figures ate carved. Do Toe Know ?
