Yet a few years and the sealskin cloak will bo a thing- of the past for all save the wives of millionaires. The returns from the last sealing season nro now complete, and if there is btill anyone who doubts the utter failure of the Paris tribunal to prevent the ex tinction of the seals let bim rend the figures and hold his speech. In place of the annual catch of 100,000 "bach elor" seals taken by the government lessee for a quarter of a century from the Pribyloff islands the company has this year with difficulty secured the 15,000 seals necessary to provide sub sistence to the natives of the islands. The total catch of the American seal ing fleet was 17,703 skins, and adding this to the take of the Canadian and Japanese fleets we have a total north west coast catch of 90,000 skins, against 125,000 last year. The diminished catch of 17,520 skins taken by the Rus sians on the Copper islands completed the world's stock of sealskins. SHIPMENTS of oil from Philadelphia last year exceeded the expots in 1894 by probably 0,000,0000 gallons. During the financial depression last spring, when the price of oil advanced rapidly, the foreign shipments fell off largely, and it seemed likely that the business of the year would show a decline. Hut with the revival of trade, the decline in the price of oil and the depletion of btocks abroad the foreign trade has re vived, and shipments have been heavy in the last six months. Up to the end of Inst week the exports for the year amounted to 319,183,795 gallons, and for last week the shipments were 7,353,- 4GI galons. There is likely to be a still further increase before tlio end of the year, as a large lleet of vessels is in Philadelphia under contract to load oil. A prominent family residing in the business part of Wnyneport, Monroe county, Pa., possesses a dog which, having reached old age, they decided to put an end to. They procured a quan tity of chloroform and the wife pro ceeded to administer it. The handker chief saturated with the fluid was held to or near the dog's nostrils, but tlie applicant, watching closely to hear the dog draw his last breath, inhaled the chloroform in much larger quantities than the dog, and promptly went oif into an afternoon nap, which was awakened by the dog's quite lively voice. The dog still lives, and the family has decided to let him die a nat ural death. SCIIOMBURGK, whose lino has made him famous in two continents, once lived in the United States and worked as a clerk in Boston and Philadelphia and afterwards engaged in the tobac co business in Richmond. Probably r.o one dreamed at that time that he would set the world on fire or get two nations by the ears. It was after sev eral years of unsuccessful work that lie drifted to the West Indies and then to South America, where he made some botanical discoveries that attracted the attention of the British government. He was commissioned to suggest a boundary line between Venezuela and Guiana, and was knighted for his serv ices.

Dearnenn Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed deafness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrah, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Rend for circulars, free. F. J.

They would repeatedly back off from each other to a distance of about 40 feet, and then dash madly forward qntil their heads collided. This plan they continued until one ram dropped dead.

Commencing with Monday, February 10,189G, and continu ing through the year, the TRI BUNE proposes to publish a series of able articles upon subjects of vital and general V interest to our readers. Emi nent thinkers and writers of national reputation on Social, Economic and Industrial Prob lems have promised contribu tions upon topics of universal interest. The list of authors, and the comprehensive group of "Live Questions" that will be treated by them, can be seen on this page, and will, we confidently believe, merit the hearty interest of readers who are already interested in these themes, and are anxious to receive the most rational opin ions obtainable. All articles will be prepared in an inquiring and scientific spirit, ana will be non-sectional and non-partisan. Vigor and simplicity of statement will be aimed at, and all phases of re form thought will be fairly and impartially presented. Upon subjects about which there is a *•< variety of candid opinions, all sides will receive an equal op portunity to be heard, that the truth may, if possible, be ar rived at. This is the first co-operative attempt upon the part of able writers to thoroughly discuss all the interesting phases of social and industrial life for the masses who would be the beneficiaries of substantial re forms, and the arrangements made by the TRIBUNE give us thesole privilege of publishing the articles in this town. They can be read in no other Free land paper, and those of our readers who are not subscribers should have their names placed on the list without delay. CONTRIBUTORS, Hon. Carroll D. Wright. B. O.
