ElizabethKnowles.of Bogtown,about four miles from Ballymena, met her death, through, it is feared, incautious- ly venturing out from her home, in the deep snow. The poor old lady, who, it appears, was never married, and lived by herself in a lonely and moun- tainous district, and who, for a consid- erable period, was a recipient of out- door relief from the Ballymena Union, left her cot on March 7, for, it is be- lieved, the purpose of procuring some food and fuel, and was not afterwards seen untfl her dead body was dug out of a large wreath of snow. A neighbor who discovered her missing from home raised the alarm, and searches were at once made for her. These proved fruit- less until Constable Perry, of Martins- town police barrack, succeeded, by the aid of his walking stick, in discovering the poor old creature buried up in a huge wreath of snow, and quite dead, in a field belonging to Mr. Wm. Ar- thurs, and contiguous to the residence of the deceased. DUBLIN. Our Australian exchanges c«nvey the information that on February 12 there was killed accidentally while engaged at the erection of a bridge at Auckland, New Zealand, William Athol, second son of the late John Athol, formerly of North Wall Foundry, Dublin. On March 5, the body of a man, name j unknown, was found on the strand at the wharf road. The deceased was about fifty years old, and in his pockets there were found Na- tional League tickets of the Lusk branch and a rate receipt with the name Stephen Bryan on it. The body appeared to have been about eight days in the water. FERMANAGH. At the Fermanagh Assizes, on March 6, Thomas Crozier, who was charged with the murder of his wue, at Annamullen, was found guilty and sentenced to death by Jus- tice Murphy. The prisoner, who was much affected, hoped that the Lord would forgive him, and look after his little children. Fermanagh Assizes were held in En- niskillen on March 0. Justice Murphy congratulated the grand jury on the peaceful state of the county. There were only two bills to go before them— one for murder and the other for lar- ceny. In the murder case Thomas Cro- zier was sentenced to be hanged on March 30 for killing his wife at Anna- mullen on January 2. The tenants on the Castle Arch dale estate bavins demanded a reduction of 20 per cent on their rents, Laud-thief Archdale writes along and lachrymose letter in reply, which he winds up thus: —"Tenant farmers must bear in mind that, if they are suffering from bad times, landlords, whose business en- gagements will brook no delay, are suf- fering also, many of them having be^n utterly ruined." KERRY. The Rev. J. O'Leary, P. P., Bally- macelligot, addressing his parishioners from the altar on March 7, strongly de- nounced the recent moonlight outrages which were bringing shame on the country. He appealed to the large number of respectable young men in the parish to band themselves together and kick those vile wretches from among them. Mr. D. J. Sheehan, M. X'. for East Kerry, has been obliged to return home from London, in consequence of the state of his health. He went to vote on March 4th, although he had been con- fined to his bed until a few days before by an attack of congestion of the lungs, which supervened on a cold caught by him during the election and neglected. Acting on Dr. Kenny's advice he left London f«r Killarney.

KING'S COUNTY. * For the past two months the Guar- dians of Tullamore Union did all in their power to cope with the distress, and while affording employment at sanitary work, etc., in Philipstown, Clara, and other towns /through the union Vthev retained about forty labor- ers from the town of Tullamore and its vicinity on the workhouse farm, as well as at necessary sanitary work; but tiiey wete obliged, on March 6, to re- fuse further employment, as they bad got nothing more to do. The unfortu- nate men, afier unavailing efforts to : get work, and after they had wandered listlessly about the town for days, at- tended the last meeting of the guard- ians to seek a continuance of work or assistance. The men said they want d work, and that they and their families were starving. LIMERICK. Died—March 9, in Dublin, Mrs. Su- sanna M. Abraham, daughter of the late Dr. E. Homan, Limerick; March 7, Mrs. Elizabeth Coll, Maidstone Castle, Limerick; March 12, John J. Ulery, Mount Vincent Cottage, Limer- ick, 20 years. Rathkeale town commissioners ou March 9 and Limerick board of guard- ians on March 10 declared in favor of Irish independence by unanimous and enthusiastic votes. At the Limerick Assizes, on March 8, a man named Flynn, among others, was indicted for participating in a riot at Abbeyfeale, on the 30th June last. It transpired in the course of the evi- dence that the man had been sentenced to a month's imprisonment for what was practically the same offence, but yet returned for trial on the technical ground of obstructing the police. His Lordship commented strongly on the attempt to punish a man twice for the same offence. He directed the prisoner to be discharged. This finished the criminal business. LONGFORD. Died—March 5, William Farrell, Carnan, Edgeworthstown, 25 years. Col. King-Harman bad 16 applica- tions for fair rent to fight against be- fore the land commission court on March 8. He lost them all, his rack- rents being reduced from 10 to 32 per cent. All came from the union of Ballymahon. LOUTH. The Rev. James Moonan, P. P., Tullyallen, died on March 7, at the pa- rochial house. The rev. gentleman contracted a cold in the discharge of his sacred duties, which he did not heed at the time. Father Moonan was a native of Tymullen, near Monaster- boice, county Louth. He commenced his educational studies in what was known as the "Primate's Seminary"— au excellent school established by the late Rev. Dr. Dixon, and now for many years past defunct. He went through a course in the Diocesan Seminary, Ar- magh, and from thence he went to Maynooth, where, after finishing his collegiate career, he was ordained in 1866. His first curacy was in the par- ish of Clogher Head, and the next in Togher. From thence he went to Ardee, from whence he was trans- ferred to Drogheda. In this town he officiated for some years, arriving here in 1870, and in 1877 he left for Forkhill, and after a short time went to Dromin- tee. While in this latter place he was appointed by his Grace the Primate to the pastoral charge of Tullyallen; va- cant by the death of the Very Rev. M. Kearney, P. P. MAYO. Three deaths from famine have oc- curred near Newport, county Mayo, and it is reported that many persons have been stricken with famine fever, and that all the seed potatoes have been consumed by the starving people. The shopkeepers are on the verge of bankruptcy, and refuse credit ndt only to the peasantry, but to the priests themselves. At Acliill numbers would have died of starvation but for the re- lief fund raised iu New York. Mrs. Sarah McEvilly, of Tuam, relict of Mr. Bunown, Louisburgh, and mother of the Archbisbop of Tuam, died on March 5th. Although the good lady's life has been prolonged be- yond the usual span of years, her death necessarily rends a bond of family union. During the protracted period of her delicacy, caused alone by the weakness of old age, she was tended with a tenderness that bespoke true filial piety, and which was inspired by the exalted reverence in which she was held by her family. She lived to the great age of 100 years. ROSCOMMON. An eviction took place near Dona- men, on St. George Caulfield's property, on March 10th, Mr. Garret Farrell, treasurer of the Oran and Donamen branch of the Irish National League, being the unfortunate victim. In con- sequence of expecting a settlement, the meeting was very small. After the sentence of death was carried out, a meeting of the committee of the Oran and Donamen branch was held in a field, Mr. J. Hanley, president, in the chair. Died.—On March 11, Jamgs, p'Far- rell, tioMommon, 56 years. V . W-w •' -s sLiGOi - On March 8th, over one hundred po- lice, accompanied by the sub-sheriff, made an attempt to carry out some thirty-six evictions on the property of the late Mrs. Kingly.

On March 7th, a scutch mill in Coal- island, county Tyrone, wa3 found to be on fire, and before the flames could be extinguished the entire place was gutted. A large quantity of flax be- longing to the Roan Spinning company was destroyed. The proprietor of the mill, named Eckliss, has sworn an in- formation that the fire was malicious. WESTMEATH. .

How Seals are Killed, and. how their Skins are Prepared. It is unsafe to drive the seals more than five or six miles during any one day, as they easily become overheated, and the skins are thereby injured. When night comes on the driving ceases, and sentries are posted round each division to prevent the animals from straying during the night,occasional whistling being sufficient to keep them together. In the morning, if the weather.is favorable, the driving is continued until the killing ground is reached, where the victims are allowed to rest over night under guard, and finally, as early as possible in the morning the sealers appear with their clubs, when again small parties of twenty or thirty seals are separated from their fellows, surrounded by the sealers, and the slaughter com- mences. Even at this last moment an- other selection is made, and any animal appearing to the eye of the Aleut to be either below or above the specified age is left unnoticed and allowed to go on its way to the shore. The men with the clubs proceed from one group to another, im- mediately followed by the men with knives, who stab each stunned seal to the heart to, insure its Immediate death. These men are in turn followed by the skinners, who with great rapidity divert the bodies of their valuable covering, leaving, how- ever, t he head and flippers intact. A few paces behind the skinners come carts drawn by mules, into which the skins are rapidly thrown and carried away. The wives and daughters of the sealers linger in the rear of the death-dealing column, taking away the blubber, which they carry on their heads, the oil dripping down their faces and over their garments. The skins, yet warm from the body, are discharged into capacious salt-houses and salted down for the time being. This treatment is continued for some time, and after the application of heavy pressure, they are ; finally tied into bundles containing two skins, securely strapped, and are then ready for shipmen t. The following is the process by which the skins are prepared and dressed in New York: When the skins are received by the furriers, in the salt, the latter is wash- ed off, and the fat removed ;from the in- side with a knife, great care being taken that no cuts or uneven places are made in the pelt. The skins are next thoroughly cleansed by being stretched upon beams and dried. After the drying process they are soaked in water and thoroughly wash- ed with soap. After this the fur is dried again, the pelt being kept moist, and the workman pulls out the long hair with the assistance of a dull knife. This operation, a very delicate one, is repeated several times until nothing but the soft fur re- mains. The skins are then dried again and moistened on the pelt side, and shav- ed until a fine even surface is obtained. Then follows the process, a slow and tedious one, of working, drying and soft- ening the skins by treading them with bare feet, in a hogshead, with fine sawdust to absorb the grease. In dying, the liquid is put on with a brush, the points of the standing fur being carefully covered. The skin is then pulled so as to make the points touch each other for some little time, and partially dried. The dry dye is removed and another coat applied, and the same process is repeated a number of , times. A few of the coat« of dye are put on, heavily pressed down to the edge of the tnr, from eight to twelve coats pro- ducing a good color. The skins are then ^wa^ted, again and cleansed with sawdust. memory and Nutrition. ' ! The editor of "Herald and Health," in disenssintr the subject of "Memory and Nutrition." gives an interesting reminis- cence of Agassiz. He says: Memory is also, to a large extent, de- pendent upon a perfect circulation of the blood In the brain. The following Case il- lustrates the effects of impeded circulation of the blood on the memory, and is alas a very interesting account of the workings of the mind in sleep, as given by Mrs. Agassiz in the life of her husband. "He [Agassiz] had been for two weeks striving to decipher the somewhat obscure impression of a fossil fish on the stone slab in which it was preserved. Weary and perplexed he put his work aside at last, and tried to dismiss it from his mind. Shortly after, he one night awoke, per- suaded that while asleep he had seen his (Mi with all the missing features perfectly restored. But when he tried to hold and make fast the image, it escaped him. Nevertheless, he went early to the Jardin des Plantes thinking that on looking anew at the impression he should see something which would pnt him on the track of his vision. ^Tn vain, the blurred record was as blank as ever. The next night he saw the fish again, but with no satisfactory result. When he awoke it disappeared from bis memory as before. Hoping that the same experience might be repeated on'the third night, he placed a pencil and paper beside his bed before going to-sleep. According- ly, toward morning, the fish reappeared in his dream, confusedly at first, but, at last, with such distinctness that he had no. longer any doubt as to its zoological char- acter. Still half dreaming, in perfect darkness, he traced these characters on the sheet of paper at the bedside. In the morning he was surprised to sfee in his noc- turnal sketch features which he thought it impossible the fossil itself should re- veal. He hastened -to Hhe Jardin dec Plan tea, and, with his drahtfng& Is'guide, succeeded in chiseUhg'afrisy the surface of the stone under whk3? frortfcma of the fish proved to be hidden. c -When wholly ex- posed, it corresponded wfSiliis dream and Ma drawing, and he ifne^eided in classify- ing it with ease. fcfftfn ^SDOke of Ifiia as good illustration of the %eH-known fact tbat when the body is at rest the tired brain will do the work ft refused before.

SULLIVAN AND THE MINES. ffce history of the tour of the John L. Sullivan Combination in the wild West is an interesting one, but the chief actors in ;nuay of the occurrences are not anxious :o make them all public. Sullivan's busi- ness manager, however, is fond of relating the story of how the. great pugilist came nenr meeting his match in Colorado. "It was in one of the mining towns," the manager said. "You see, wheneverwe ^avfl an exhibition we advertised that if .mybody in the country wanted to spar ,vith Sullivan, with or without gloves, he would be accommodated. Well, when we arrived in this little place we found a chal- lenge already waiting. There was a min- er there who was anxious to meet Sullivan on the stage and spar four or five rounds with bare fists. I found that the other miners had made up a purse of $500 and were wiliing to back their man to that amount. Of course, I covered it. perfectly confident that Sullivan would win. We were going to exhibit that night and Sulli- van had been drinking pretty heavily for two or three days, though he had not missed any performances. Our rule was to have some of the other members of the combination give exhibitions of wrestling and sparring; and then conclude by letting one of them wind up with Sullivan, unless there was somebody in the audience who wanted to try it—which did not occur very Often. Upon making inquiries in the vil- lage during the day, I heard so much of this man the miners had backed against Sullivan that I made up my mind to go and have a look at him. They called him the 'hairy man.' "I found him training in a whiskey sa- loon, and for the first time on that tour I was scared. He was six feet three inches tall, weighed 220 pounds without having an ounce of superfluous flesh, and he was covered over with thick black hair like a Newfoundland dog. His arms were as hard as bars of iron, and all the miners said that he had a great deal of science and struck a terrible blow. I found that he had a reputation for miles around, and that there had even been talk about rais- ing money to send him East to challenge Sullivan. Sullivan had been drinking so much that I feared he would meet his Wa- terloo, unless I could induce the other to give up the fight. So I told him that Sul- livan had been drinking, that he was very ugly, and that it would not be safe to fight with him that night. »The hairy man only laughed and said that if Sullivan could stand it he could. His confidence scared me, because every pugilist—no mat- ter who he is—who has ever fought Sulli- van has been very nervous about meeting him, and this fellow was happy about it. I finally told them that I'd forfeit the $500 if they'd keep the hairy man off the stage that night, of course putting it on the ground that Sullivan might kill him. But it was no use; they said Sullivan must fight or they'd all get together and tar and feather him. " When I told Sullivan that I'd tried to get the fight off, he was furio us, and I ac- tually thought he'd assault me. He ac- cused me of trying to destroy his reputa- tion, and said that he was never in better fighting condition in his life. He was so ihad that it sobered him, which was one good effect anyway. We gave the exhibi- tion in a hall that was made to hold 2,000 persons, but more than 3,000 were piled into it, and hundreds of persons had come scores of miles for the occasion. I found that all the betting was on the hairy man and I was entirely prepared to see Sulli- van get whipped. When they came on to the stage Sullivan could hardly wait for time to be called, and he glared at the hairy man like a tiger. The hairy man was as confident as ever, and his friends yelled themselves hoarse in admiration. When time was called Sullivan made a furious rush at the hairy man, struck him just once between the eyes, and knock ed him senseless off the stage into the audi- torium. I was so sure he was killed that I made Sullivan get out ofthe hall and prepare to leave the place in a hurry for fear he'd be lynched. It took us twenty minutes to bring the hairy man to him- self, and we only managed it then by cut- ting off his thumb-nail and making incis- ions in the quick of the thumb under- neath. And if you ever saw a humbled and admiring gang, it was the friends of that miner. They were all down at the train to see Sullivan off in the morning, and the hairy man shook hands with him without sayiDg a word, absolutely speech- less with admiration. This was the only time I feared tbat Sullivan had met his match." A Menagerie In HI* Stomach. A Marine Hospital surgeon tells of a remarkable case that came under his ob- servation. It was that of a tall, lank, cadayerous sailor who complained that he suffered almost perpetual pain in the stomach. At times he would be seized with fright- ful convulsions, and nothing seemed to al- lay his sufferings but food. He bad a rav- eftOus appetite, and could eat a hearty meal a dozen times a day. The doctors, after a long course of treatment, succeed-' ed . in taking from the man a tape worm and also a snake 13 inches long resembling a monstrous angle worm. The physicians were somewhat astonished at finding so strange a resident as the snake in the man's stomach, but they were quite dumbfounded by the startling phenome- non that presented itself soon after. While 'examining the reptile, the physicians fotlhd tbat it Was actually giving birth to another claimant for the vast quantity of food devoured by the unfortunate Jack tar. They could account for the appear- since of the snake in the man's stomach, but that a reptile, which when quite small had found its way there should in- crease to its present size, and also have young was a problem which they were un- able to solve. Elizabeth Thompson'# Opinion. " » People have come to look upon a kitchen as only a place for hired girls. I would exalt a kitchen; I would make it a ladies' schoolroom and a children's school- room. In every home there should be a place in which'to study kitchen matters, jost as a chemical laboratory is to the ooUege, and it should not be turned over lo an uneducated person. It should be a place of instruction, a place to train for practical work. . In the kitchen should be demonstrations before the children, in which they should learn the occupation of coc&ing^ 'and providing fbod for the table, tine rtason why ao many women dislike kHcbftt work is because their kitchens are' 3o Miserable provided, so devoid of con- vetjiettce imd domfort.

' DOWN.

ElizabethKnowles.of Bogtown,about four miles from Ballymena, met her death, through, it is feared, incautious­ly venturing out from her home, in the deep snow. The poor old lady, who, it appears, was never married, and lived by herself in a lonely and moun­tainous district, and who, for a consid­erable period, was a recipient of out­door relief from the Ballymena Union, left her cot on March 7, for, it is be­lieved, the purpose of procuring some food and fuel, and was not afterwards seen untfl her dead body was dug out of a large wreath of snow. A neighbor who discovered her missing from home raised the alarm, and searches were at once made for her. These proved fruit­less until Constable Perry, of Martins-town police barrack, succeeded, by the aid of his walking stick, in discovering the poor old creature buried up in a huge wreath of snow, and quite dead, in a field belonging to Mr. Wm. Ar­thurs, and contiguous to the residence of the deceased.

DUBLIN.

Our Australian exchanges c«nvey the information that on February 12 there was killed accidentally while engaged at the erection of a bridge at Auckland, New Zealand, William Athol, second son of the late John Athol, formerly of North Wall Foundry, Dublin.

On March 5, the body of a man, name j unknown, was found on the strand at the wharf road. The deceased was about fifty years old, and in his pockets there were found Na­tional League tickets of the Lusk branch and a rate receipt with the name Stephen Bryan on it. The body appeared to have been about eight days in the water.

FERMANAGH.

At the Fermanagh Assizes, on March 6, Thomas Crozier, who was charged with the murder of his wue, at Annamullen, was found guilty and sentenced to death by Jus­tice Murphy. The prisoner, who was much affected, hoped that the Lord would forgive him, and look after his little children.

Fermanagh Assizes were held in En-niskillen on March 0. Justice Murphy congratulated the grand jury on the peaceful state of the county. There were only two bills to go before them— one for murder and the other for lar­ceny. In the murder case Thomas Cro­zier was sentenced to be hanged on March 30 for killing his wife at Anna­mullen on January 2.

The tenants on the Castle Arch dale estate bavins demanded a reduction of 20 per cent on their rents, Laud-thief Archdale writes along and lachrymose letter in reply, which he winds up thus: —"Tenant farmers must bear in mind that, if they are suffering from bad times, landlords, whose business en­gagements will brook no delay, are suf­fering also, many of them having be^n utterly ruined."

KERRY.

The Rev. J. O'Leary, P. P., Bally-macelligot, addressing his parishioners from the altar on March 7, strongly de­nounced the recent moonlight outrages which were bringing shame on the country. He appealed to the large number of respectable young men in the parish to band themselves together and kick those vile wretches from among them.

Mr. D. J. Sheehan, M. X'. for East Kerry, has been obliged to return home from London, in consequence of the state of his health. He went to vote on March 4th, although he had been con­fined to his bed until a few days before by an attack of congestion of the lungs, which supervened on a cold caught by him during the election and neglected. Acting on Dr. Kenny's advice he left London f«r Killarney.

O'Heare, Monas-terevan, 25 years; March 4, Maria Ox­ford, Carna; March 11, Michael Rosny, St. Wolstan's, Celbridge, 83 years; March 9, in Belfast, John Seery, for­merly of Xaas.

KING'S COUNTY. *

For the past two months the Guar­dians of Tullamore Union did all in their power to cope with the distress, and while affording employment at sanitary work, etc., in Philipstown, Clara, and other towns /through the union Vthev retained about forty labor­ers from the town of Tullamore and its vicinity on the workhouse farm, as well as at necessary sanitary work; but tiiey wete obliged, on March 6, to re­fuse further employment, as they bad got nothing more to do. The unfortu­nate men, afier unavailing efforts to

:

get work, and after they had wandered listlessly about the town for days, at­tended the last meeting of the guard­ians to seek a continuance of work or assistance. The men said they want d work, and that they and their families were starving.

LIMERICK.

Died—March 9, in Dublin, Mrs. Su­sanna M. Abraham, daughter of the late Dr. E. Homan, Limerick; March 7, Mrs. Elizabeth Coll, Maidstone Castle, Limerick; March 12, John J. Ulery, Mount Vincent Cottage, Limer­ick, 20 years.

Rathkeale town commissioners ou March 9 and Limerick board of guard­ians on March 10 declared in favor of Irish independence by unanimous and enthusiastic votes.

At the Limerick Assizes, on March 8, a man named Flynn, among others, was indicted for participating in a riot at Abbeyfeale, on the 30th June last. It transpired in the course of the evi­dence that the man had been sentenced to a month's imprisonment for what was practically the same offence, but yet returned for trial on the technical ground of obstructing the police. His Lordship commented strongly on the attempt to punish a man twice for the same offence. He directed the prisoner to be discharged. This finished the criminal business.

LONGFORD.

Died—March 5, William Farrell, Carnan, Edgeworthstown, 25 years.

Col. King-Harman bad 16 applica­tions for fair rent to fight against be­fore the land commission court on March 8. He lost them all, his rack-rents being reduced from 10 to 32 per cent. All came from the union of Ballymahon.

LOUTH.

The Rev. James Moonan, P. P., Tullyallen, died on March 7, at the pa­rochial house. The rev. gentleman contracted a cold in the discharge of his sacred duties, which he did not heed at the time. Father Moonan was a native of Tymullen, near Monaster-boice, county Louth. He commenced his educational studies in what was known as the "Primate's Seminary"— au excellent school established by the late Rev. Dr. Dixon, and now for many years past defunct. He went through a course in the Diocesan Seminary, Ar­magh, and from thence he went to Maynooth, where, after finishing his collegiate career, he was ordained in 1866. His first curacy was in the par­ish of Clogher Head, and the next in Togher. From thence he went to Ardee, from whence he was trans­ferred to Drogheda. In this town he officiated for some years, arriving here in 1870, and in 1877 he left for Forkhill, and after a short time went to Dromin-tee. While in this latter place he was appointed by his Grace the Primate to the pastoral charge of Tullyallen; va­cant by the death of the Very Rev. M. Kearney, P. P.

MAYO. Three deaths from famine have oc­

curred near Newport, county Mayo, and it is reported that many persons have been stricken with famine fever, and that all the seed potatoes have been consumed by the starving people. The shopkeepers are on the verge of bankruptcy, and refuse credit ndt only to the peasantry, but to the priests themselves. At Acliill numbers would have died of starvation but for the re­lief fund raised iu New York.

Mrs. Sarah McEvilly, of Tuam, relict of Mr. Bunown, Louisburgh, and mother of the Archbisbop of Tuam, died on March 5th. Although the good lady's life has been prolonged be­yond the usual span of years, her death necessarily rends a bond of family union. During the protracted period of her delicacy, caused alone by the weakness of old age, she was tended with a tenderness that bespoke true filial piety, and which was inspired by the exalted reverence in which she was held by her family. She lived to the great age of 100 years.

ROSCOMMON.

An eviction took place near Dona-men, on St. George Caulfield's property, on March 10th, Mr. Garret Farrell, treasurer of the Oran and Donamen branch of the Irish National League, being the unfortunate victim. In con­sequence of expecting a settlement, the meeting was very small. After the sentence of death was carried out, a meeting of the committee of the Oran and Donamen branch was held in a field, Mr. J. Hanley, president, in the chair.

Died.—On March 11, Jamgs, p'Far-rell, tioMommon, 56 years. V •

TYRONE.

On March 7th, a scutch mill in Coal-island, county Tyrone, wa3 found to be on fire, and before the flames could be extinguished the entire place was gutted. A large quantity of flax be­longing to the Roan Spinning company was destroyed. The proprietor of the mill, named Eckliss, has sworn an in­formation that the fire was malicious.

FOB WOMAN'S WEAK.

How Seals are Killed, and. how their Skins are Prepared.

It is unsafe to drive the seals more than five or six miles during any one day, as they easily become overheated, and the skins are thereby injured. When night comes on the driving ceases, and sentries are posted round each division to prevent the animals from straying during the night,occasional whistling being sufficient to keep them together. In the morning, if the weather.is favorable, the driving is continued until the killing ground is reached, where the victims are allowed to rest over night under guard, and finally, as early as possible in the morning the sealers appear with their clubs, when again small parties of twenty or thirty seals are separated from their fellows, surrounded by the sealers, and the slaughter com­mences. Even at this last moment an­other selection is made, and any animal appearing to the eye of the Aleut to be either below or above the specified age is left unnoticed and allowed to go on its way to the shore. The men with the clubs proceed from one group to another, im­mediately followed by the men with knives, who stab each stunned seal to the heart to, insure its Immediate death. These men are in turn followed by the skinners, who with great rapidity divert the bodies of their valuable covering, leaving, how­ever, t he head and flippers intact. A few paces behind the skinners come carts drawn by mules, into which the skins are rapidly thrown and carried away. The wives and daughters of the sealers linger in the rear of the death-dealing column, taking away the blubber, which they carry on their heads, the oil dripping down their faces and over their garments. The skins, yet warm from the body, are discharged into capacious salt-houses and salted down for the time being. This treatment is continued for some time, and after the application of heavy pressure, they are

; finally tied into bundles containing two skins, securely strapped, and are then ready for shipmen t.

The following is the process by which the skins are prepared and dressed in New York: When the skins are received by the furriers, in the salt, the latter is wash­ed off, and the fat removed ;from the in­side with a knife, great care being taken that no cuts or uneven places are made in the pelt. The skins are next thoroughly cleansed by being stretched upon beams and dried. After the drying process they are soaked in water and thoroughly wash­ed with soap. After this the fur is dried again, the pelt being kept moist, and the workman pulls out the long hair with the assistance of a dull knife. This operation, a very delicate one, is repeated several times until nothing but the soft fur re­mains. The skins are then dried again and moistened on the pelt side, and shav­ed until a fine even surface is obtained.

Then follows the process, a slow and tedious one, of working, drying and soft­ening the skins by treading them with bare feet, in a hogshead, with fine sawdust to absorb the grease. In dying, the liquid is put on with a brush, the points of the standing fur being carefully covered. The skin is then pulled so as to make the points touch each other for some little time, and partially dried. The dry dye is removed and another coat applied, and the same process is repeated a number of

, times. A few of the coat« of dye are put on, heavily pressed down to the edge of the tnr, from eight to twelve coats pro­ducing a good color. The skins are then ^wa^ted, again and cleansed with sawdust.

memory and Nutrition. ' !

The editor of "Herald and Health," in disenssintr the subject of "Memory and Nutrition." gives an interesting reminis­cence of Agassiz. He says:

Memory is also, to a large extent, de­pendent upon a perfect circulation of the blood In the brain. The following Case il­lustrates the effects of impeded circulation of the blood on the memory, and is alas a very interesting account of the workings of the mind in sleep, as given by Mrs. Agassiz in the life of her husband.

"He [Agassiz] had been for two weeks striving to decipher the somewhat obscure impression of a fossil fish on the stone slab in which it was preserved. Weary and perplexed he put his work aside at last, and tried to dismiss it from his mind. Shortly after, he one night awoke, per­suaded that while asleep he had seen his (Mi with all the missing features perfectly restored. But when he tried to hold and make fast the image, it escaped him. Nevertheless, he went early to the Jardin des Plantes thinking that on looking anew at the impression he should see something which would pnt him on the track of his vision. ̂ Tn vain, the blurred record was as blank as ever. The next night he saw the fish again, but with no satisfactory result. When he awoke it disappeared from bis memory as before. Hoping that the same experience might be repeated on'the third night, he placed a pencil and paper beside his bed before going to-sleep. According­ly, toward morning, the fish reappeared in his dream, confusedly at first, but, at last, with such distinctness that he had no. longer any doubt as to its zoological char­acter. Still half dreaming, in perfect darkness, he traced these characters on the sheet of paper at the bedside. In the morning he was surprised to sfee in his noc­turnal sketch features which he thought it impossible the fossil itself should re­veal. He hastened -to Hhe Jardin dec Plan tea, and, with his drahtfng& Is'guide, succeeded in chiseUhg'afrisy the surface of the stone under whk3? frortfcma of the fish proved to be hidden. c -When wholly ex­posed, it corresponded wfSiliis dream and Ma drawing, and he ifne^eided in classify­ing it with ease. fcfftfn ^SDOke of Ifiia as • good illustration of the %eH-known fact tbat when the body is at rest the tired brain will do the work ft refused before.

SULLIVAN AND THE MINES.

ffce history of the tour of the John L. Sullivan Combination in the wild West is an interesting one, but the chief actors in ;nuay of the occurrences are not anxious :o make them all public. Sullivan's busi­ness manager, however, is fond of relating the story of how the. great pugilist came nenr meeting his match in Colorado.

"It was in one of the mining towns," the manager said. "You see, wheneverwe ^avfl an exhibition we advertised that if .mybody in the country wanted to spar ,vith Sullivan, with or without gloves, he would be accommodated. Well, when we arrived in this little place we found a chal­lenge already waiting. • There was a min­er there who was anxious to meet Sullivan on the stage and spar four or five rounds with bare fists. I found that the other miners had made up a purse of $500 and were wiliing to back their man to that amount. Of course, I covered it. perfectly confident that Sullivan would win. We were going to exhibit that night and Sulli­van had been drinking pretty heavily for two or three days, though he had not missed any performances. Our rule was to have some of the other members of the combination give exhibitions of wrestling and sparring; and then conclude by letting one of them wind up with Sullivan, unless there was somebody in the audience who wanted to try it—which did not occur very Often. Upon making inquiries in the vil­lage during the day, I heard so much of this man the miners had backed against Sullivan that I made up my mind to go and have a look at him. They called him the 'hairy man.'

"I found him training in a whiskey sa­loon, and for the first time on that tour I was scared. He was six feet three inches tall, weighed 220 pounds without having an ounce of superfluous flesh, and he was covered over with thick black hair like a Newfoundland dog. His arms were as hard as bars of iron, and all the miners said that he had a great deal of science and struck a terrible blow. I found that he had a reputation for miles around, and that there had even been talk about rais­ing money to send him East to challenge Sullivan. Sullivan had been drinking so much that I feared he would meet his Wa­terloo, unless I could induce the other to give up the fight. So I told him that Sul­livan had been drinking, that he was very ugly, and that it would not be safe to fight with him that night. »The hairy man only laughed and said that if Sullivan could stand it he could. His confidence scared me, because every pugilist—no mat­ter who he is—who has ever fought Sulli­van has been very nervous about meeting him, and this fellow was happy about it. I finally told them that I'd forfeit the $500 if they'd keep the hairy man off the stage that night, of course putting it on the ground that Sullivan might kill him. But it was no use; they said Sullivan must fight or they'd all get together and tar and feather him.

" When I told Sullivan that I'd tried to get the fight off, he was furio us, and I ac­tually thought he'd assault me. He ac­cused me of trying to destroy his reputa­tion, and said that he was never in better fighting condition in his life. He was so ihad that it sobered him, which was one good effect anyway. We gave the exhibi­tion in a hall that was made to hold 2,000 persons, but more than 3,000 were piled into it, and hundreds of persons had come scores of miles for the occasion. I found that all the betting was on the hairy man and I was entirely prepared to see Sulli­van get whipped. When they came on to the stage Sullivan could hardly wait for time to be called, and he glared at the hairy man like a tiger. The hairy man was as confident as ever, and his friends yelled themselves hoarse in admiration. When time was called Sullivan made a furious rush at the hairy man, struck him just once between the eyes, and knock ed him senseless off the stage into the audi­torium. I was so sure he was killed that I made Sullivan get out ofthe hall and prepare to leave the place in a hurry for fear he'd be lynched. It took us twenty minutes to bring the hairy man to him­self, and we only managed it then by cut­ting off his thumb-nail and making incis­ions in the quick of the thumb under­neath. And if you ever saw a humbled and admiring gang, it was the friends of that miner. They were all down at the train to see Sullivan off in the morning, and the hairy man shook hands with him without sayiDg a word, absolutely speech­less with admiration. This was the only time I feared tbat Sullivan had met his match."

A Menagerie In HI* Stomach.

A Marine Hospital surgeon tells of a remarkable case that came under his ob­servation. It was that of a tall, lank, cadayerous sailor who complained that he suffered almost perpetual pain in the stomach.

At times he would be seized with fright­ful convulsions, and nothing seemed to al­lay his sufferings but food. He bad a rav-eftOus appetite, and could eat a hearty meal a dozen times a day. The doctors, after a long course of treatment, succeed-' ed . in taking from the man a tape worm and also a snake 13 inches long resembling a monstrous angle worm. The physicians were somewhat astonished at finding so strange a resident as the snake in the man's stomach, but they were quite dumbfounded by the startling phenome­non that presented itself soon after. While

'examining the reptile, the physicians fotlhd tbat it Was actually giving birth to another claimant for the vast quantity of food devoured by the unfortunate Jack tar. They could account for the appear-since of the snake in the man's stomach, but that a reptile, which when quite small had found its way there should in­crease to its present size, and also have young was a problem which they were un­able to solve.

Elizabeth Thompson'# Opinion. " »

People have come to look upon a kitchen as only a place for hired girls. I would exalt a kitchen; I would make it a ladies' schoolroom and a children's school­room. In every home there should be a place in which'to study kitchen matters, jost as a chemical laboratory is to the ooUege, and it should not be turned over lo an uneducated person. It should be a place of instruction, a place to train for practical work. . In the kitchen should be demonstrations before the children, in which they should learn the occupation of coc&ing ̂'and providing fbod for the table, tine rtason why ao many women dislike kHcbftt work is because their kitchens are' 3o Miserable provided, so devoid of con-vetjiettce imd domfort. I would strive to ibake a kitchen more attractive than a 'flrioT, and cooking and housekeeping should
