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.

TtHOJB ISLAND CROW STOBT. 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.

TALUABLE TOOD CURE!
Ripe fruit and berries. Blight ly acid
will rtmove thf? orinary. diarrhoass of j
summer.
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. Hall's

Til E TIME SPENT ON TUF.M AND WHAT
THEY USUALLY COST,
In the top loft of a building down on i
the East River front, the other day. a
man was bending over a loc; of wood, j
lie chopiied and chiseled and gouged I
and cut until th shnpeless block 1-jrau !
to assume form. It whs the lec'n' i"a ;
of a piece of woik that the toi'er sail
would take a week and a half to finish. I
The man had started to fashion a nier- ,
maid out of wood, which was to serve as ,
a figure head of a schooner. 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 ? That a little wa
ter in butter will prevent it from burn
ing when used for frying ?
That a little saltjetre worked into
butter that has become sour or laucid
will render it sweet or palatable ?
That pennyroyal distributed in places
frequented by roaches will drive them
away ?
That wild mint will keep rats and
trice out of the house ?
That lime, sprinkled in fire places dur
ing summer months is healthful ?
That spannish brown, mixed with a
little water, will make hearths look
pretty ? a pound costs ten cents and
wil last two or thre months ; u a lit
tle at a time,
That leaves of parsley, eaten with a
little vinegar, will prevent the disagree
able consequences ot tainted breath by
onions ?
That flowers and shrubs should be
excluded from a bed chamber y
That oil paintings, hung over the
mantlepiece are liable to wrinkle with
the heat.
To Prevent Cfiicken Cholera.
Keep the drinking water for fowls in
old, rusty iron vessels and occassionally
throw a small quantity of sulphur and
quicklime into the vessels, and do not
let them get filthy, but wash them out
every few days.
