rookeries have been. The fur seals resort
to the Alaskan seal islands fivo
months in the year to bring forth and
rear their young, the females leaving
their young upon the shores and going
out into the waters of the Belrring irea
daily for food. If marauders are allowed
to pursue and kill the females whilo
they are searching for food, not only do
the females perish, but also their young.
More than that, not moro thau one out
of seven females killed in the water is

Moonshiner Miners.
Some of the rugged moonshiners who
nro brought down to Atlanta from tho
mountains of North Georgia and jailed,
whose lawlessness consisted in making a
little contraband whisky, know something
of crude metal. In their search for
hidden places to screen their operations
from the keen eyo of the revenue agent,
in the mountain gulches and the beds of
shallow streams they often find glitteriug
f>articlcs of gold, and sometimes nuggets
arge enough to be of considerable value.
While they live ^from hand to mcuth,
these little piebos of gold are treasured
and frequently carried about for years in
the pocket of the finder. Sometimes in
the Fulton County Jail, when they have
fallen victims to Uacle SjmjVs vigilance,
their own wants or thoughts of the helpless
ones at home bring out the little
treasured pieces of gold and the jewelers
get them. The United States Deputy
Marshnls act ns the middlemen in these
transactions, as the relation between tho
deputies and the prisoners Here is often
quitb friendly. ? Times-D. inocrat.

One of the strangest pieces of artillery
in Europe is at Uletz, Germany, and is
known by the name of the "Griffin,"
from the figure of the fabulous animal
which is to be found among the ornamental
portion of its workmanship. Tho
gun was cast in 152!? at 1- hrenbreitstein,
near Coblentz. It is seventeen feet in
length and three in diameter. The bore
is ten and one-half inches; weight, 22,500
pounds. Its carriage is twenty-four
feet in length, and the weight of the
ball which it carries is 157 pounds.
Forty-two pounds of powder is required
for the charge. Napoleon intended it

A little duorlpttt* piece entitled "Ow
ie Guns," from the Detroit Fr? Frew, of
hlch we give paragraph, reminds as that
reat advertisers, like H. H. Warner A Co.,
roprUtors ot Warner's celebrated Safe Care,
Ught get a hint from it
Here is the paragraph:
"Shoot to the right or left, orer the gans
r under them. Strike whexv you will, bat
Hike to destroy. Now the In 11 surges down,
ran to the windows of the old farm-house?
ow back under the apple trees and beyond
iMm. Dead men are under the ponderous
rbeels of the guns, mad devils are slashing
hd shooting across the barrels. No one
ems to know friend from foe. Shoot, slash,
ill and?
"But the hell is dissolved. The smoke is
fting, shrieks and screams grow faintsr,
n?l twenty or thirty living men pull the
ead bodies away from the guns. Three
undred dead and wounded ou the single
ere. They tell of war and glory. Look
ver this hell's acre and find the latter." And
n just as deadly a strife, though noiseless,
re men falling at our right and loft to-day.
s it war? Yes, war of the blood. Blood
jaded with poison through imperfect kldK
action. And is there no power to stop
awful slaughter? Yes, Warner's Safe
'are, a tried specific, a panacea that has
fought life and hope to hundreds of thouands
of dying men and women.
Be enlisted, therefore, in the great army
f living men and women who have been
escued from disease and premature death,
ind be eternally grateful that the means of
ife can so easily be yours.
