Description of a Berne Which Is DupU cnteri Mnny Times In a Year Some thing for Klml-IIearted Touuc Ladles to I'onder Over. Several years ago there wns a cry raised all over the land against tho cruelty of skinning birds alive to mako feather ornaments for hats. It Is not generally known that atroc ities' fully as cruel aro committed by tho fur seal hunters who provido tho peltries from which seal-skin cloaks aro made to envelop the fair forms and tho tender hearts of American wives 1 apd daughters. E. n. Wells thus describes an inci dent which ho witnessed lost spring while crossing tho North Pacific from Kadiak Island to Sitka, Alaska, In a scaling schooner. ' "We wcro drifting slowly eastward one warm April evening, the light 'causing scarcely a ripple on tho surface vi hih uccan. tur seals wero lymg asleep on every side of us, their mo tionless, dark bodies half out bf water, appearing like pieces of 'drift wood It was the. time of tho annual seal migra tion to tho I'rybllofl Islands, tho ani mals coming northward from tho vast expanse of southern waters. "Tho captain and his alert crew wero provided with ' hoavy rifles and shot guns for killing seals, and it was not long before I had an opportunity to wit ness tho operation of taking seals in tho Pacific a method totally different from that employed on tho shores of tho Prybiloffs, in Behring sea. "Standing with an Aleut nativo In the bow of our littlo vessel, I spotted a seal asleep several hundred yards ahead. It scerned probable that wo would run over tho creature If nothing occurred tJ disturb its slumber. T 1,., 1 ..... 1 . . 1t. . . picking up a heavy four-boro shotgun 1 11,. , , 1 . . . . iuuuuu wnn uucKsiiot returnea to tne bow Intent on getting that seal. Then noticing tho Aleut hunter still standing there, I concluded that ho could doubt less do better shooting than I could on the deceptive ocean, and I turned tho weapon over to him with tho advice to shoot that seal. "AS ho slowly poised tho ponderous weapon containing unknown quantities of volcanic energy I stepped briskly be hind to be out of rango of possibilities. My experience with pot-metal Indian guns had been sufficient to make me skeptical as to their cohcslvcnoBs. "Tho Aleut pulled tho trigger and "a mighty bodm rolled out over tho 6ca, whilo the shot went whistling over its surface, and with a dull 'plunk' entered the bbdy of tho sleeping seat "Thero was a wild thrashing of tho waters. " 'We'vo hit a seal,' eselaimod some body, and thero was a rush for tho life boat towing astern of tho schooner. Tho Bcal must bo reached quickly be fore It sank. Several men jumped Into tho boat, seized tho oars and paddled desperately away for the seal, which still lay floundering on tho water, not a hundred yards from the vessel's bow "Thoy reached It In timo and an Aleut, by dexterous manipulation born of long experience, flooped tho slippery animal Into tho boat. "A few moments later wo all gath ered round tho gasping creaturo as It lay upon the dcclc, whilo ,ono of tho hunters, an experienced hand at skin ning seals, bared his long, bharp knifo and prepared to remove tho poli "Ho made soyoral cuts about tho flip pers, when 1 Interfered. The seal was breathmg'hbafsely, its chest rising and falllng spasmbdically. 'Kill that beast,' I exclaimed, 'beforo you skin UP "llo obeyed, or attempted to, by cut ting a long gash across tho creature's throat. "Blood flowed forth In torrents and covered tho deck. Tho struggling ceased and I thought that death had en sued. Tho hunter proceeded with his skinning operations and the pelt was about ono-th!rd removed when I was horrified by another loud gasp from tho seal and a renewal of tho heavings of tho chest, Evidently It was not dead and was undergoing torturel " 'Kill it!' I cried, and tho man with one long, slashing cut ripped the ani mal open and partially disembowled 1L Then, witli dexterous movements of tho Iralfe, he rapidly continued to re move the pelt and had almost separated it from tho body when another noiso came from tho seaL Its mouth opened and it breathed hoarsely onco more. "1 could scarcely beliovo my eyesl Thero lay a creature alive, yet skinned, disemboweled and its blood lying in pools on tho deck. , " 'Cut Its heart outl' I ejaculated,- un able longer to bear the sight of tho ap parent suffering. "Thd hunter1 reached his hand Instdo of tho carcass and plucked fortli the heart. ' It was warm and throbbed regularly. Cut loose from tho body and held out in tho hand it continued' to pulsate, tho valves opening and 'closing for fully three minutes with unfailing regularity. It was a grewsomo sjgbL "But the seal wuVnow dead. lie no longer breathed .nor moved. A feeling of relief swept over mo. " 'Do thpy usually die that hard? I demanded; 1 " 'Oh, yes, replied the hunter, coolly 'They always act that way when wo skiu them.' "Thousands of seals are taken 'every year by schooners in tho northern 1'acifio and Behring sou and aro skinned alive by their heartless captors, who will pot take the troublo to kill thero. Tho creaturo dies harder thun almost any other animal, and, as It is warm blooded and sensitlvo, no doubt under goes a torture equal to any that could possibly bo (nfllctcd. , Thero Is no sem blance to unconscious muscular uctlvity In its cas.e, as'li) jjw .turtle,, "The poll of that fur bco! whoso cap ture I witnessed has by this timo been dyed, and probably uow adorns tho Bhouldcrsof soma fair girl or matron who would shrink from Inflicting pain even updna' mouse."'

The French for a year past have been having a very lively time with tho pi rates in Tonkiri Some months ago tho newspapers dcscrlbod these roving bunds of outlaws, most of them com posed of criminals from China, who flock over the border to prey upon tho natives of the adjoining country. France decided a year ago to wipo them out, for they wcri keeping tho country in constant alarm, and wero cmbolded to invade not only the settle ments of the interior highlands, but al so to push down to tho very coast and to attack small' bodies of' the' French soldiery. Most of tho pirate bands aro well armed, and although they havo met with very serious reverses thoy are still unsubdued. The French have met them repeated ly In parties of twenty to a hundred men, and fierce fights have generally occurred In tho cumpaign against tho pirates, which began in April last, two thousand French soldiers took tho field. Within three months eleven hundred pirates were killed, .of whom about seven hundred and fifty met their fate in battlo, whilo the others wero cap tured and executed. According to tho latest reports hardly a day has passed sinco Juno 1 without some encounter. Tho pirates havo been almost Invaria bly worsted until recently. Kecent re ports say, however, that tho pirates appear to havo received largo re-en-forccmcnts. A detachment of soldiers who wero protecting a party of worklngmen en gaged in building a French fortifica tion were attacked, and thirteen of tho French, Including Llout.

JACK IN A FIX. Borrows of a Dog That Climbed a Tree After a Squirrel. At dusk ono day lately Jack, a fox terrier belonging to Jason Fellows, of Green township, got after a gray squir rel (n a pasture or Mr. Fellows' farm, says a Scranton correspondent of tho New York Sun. Tho squirrel skipped up tho trunk of a mammoth maple tree just as Jack was about to seize it, and tho plucky dog shinned up the tree also. Mr; Follows" tried to' call him down, but Jack stuck his nails into tho tough bark and tugged apd clung until he had climbed to tho crotch, fifty-two feet from tho ground. By that time the squirrel was chattering on ono of the topmost limbs, nnd Jack couldn't get any further. Ho couldn't get'1 down, either, nnd he began to howl aud whino for his master to help him. ' t was soon dark', and Ir. Fellows ' hustled around to find some way of reaching Jack and lowering him to tho ground. Ho and his sons' tried in vain to climb' tho tree, and thon they went among1 their neighbors and got sovoral volun teers. No ono was ablo to climb It, and Jack continued to whine up thero in the dark. By nine o'clock all tho near by farmers had heard of Jack's pre dicament' and "wero undijr tbd tre? with lanterns. Thero wasn't a ladder in tho neighborhood .lqng enough to rcaqh' nan way io dacic, ana along toward midnight threo ladders were taken to tho spot, lashed together and hoisted against the tree. Then Albert Fellows started ta climb up with a surcingle and a long' ropo. Tho bottom ladder broke and gave him a pretty hard fall, and tho 'attempt to rescue Jack was postponed till daylight Mr. Fellows and his sons worked until two o'clock to mako a new ladder and then they Went to bod. Jack howled mournfully all night up in the big maplo, and tho members of Mr. Follows' household got very little sleep. .When daylight camo Jack was'ptill begging to bo'6aved, and the men fastened the new ladder to tho other ones. Then Ansil Fellows climbed up, buckled tho surcingle around Jack nnd lowered him at the end of a ropo. When ho reached the ground ho began to bark for joy and tho saucy squirrel chattered at him from tho treotop. Annie Cervi'o Acquittal. Elizabeth, N.

( Powder 'EV PURE THE GIRL BACHELOR. How She Secures tho Luxury of an Inde pendent Home. It Is getting to bo much the fashion for unmarried women now to have homes, rather than to live in hotels or boarding houses, says a Boston corre spondent of tho New Orleans Time Democrat. Apartments of nil kinds and at all prices are to bo found, from tho two rooms nnd bath to tho house keeping Buite, but it develops tho homo feeling to have one's own suite, cne'a own furniture and arrangements. Near ly all tho now apartment hotels provido small suits for ono or two persons, where steam heat and hot water go with the rooms. The tenant pays for his own gas and provides for himself (or herself) furniture, sorvico nnd food. The expense, of course, varies with tho locality. For Instance, In ono of theso hotels, located on Copley square, tho finest part of the city, a lady has a sulto of two rooms and bath, with private hall and two very largo closets for trunks, etc., of which tho rent is five hundred dollars a year. Having her own books, pictures, brlc-n-brac, bookcases, mirror and writing desk, she required only furniture for the bedroom nnd a rug, sofa and chairs for the littlo salon. Window draperies and portiors Wero got up out of tho pretty and inexpensive "scrim" at twenty-five cents a yard -and tho entire cost of furnishing was within ono hun dred dollars. Tho hotel had a dining room on the European plan, and sho also had a gas stove, on which It was easy to make tea or coffee in the morn ling, and with cream, rolls and fruit tho dainty breakfast is very easily ar ranged. Her rooms aro tasteful and charming, and the entire cost of living does not exceed eighteen dollars a week, while such a suite In a hotel on the American plan would not bo less than fifty dollars a week.
