The seal, if the weather be sunny and pleasant, takes short na] lleved by shorter moments whei scanning the vicinity for signs of an enemy's approach. During these times the bear Is very quiet and as still as death itself, with eyes apparently closed, though really a corner of each Is kept open, and In this way he hopes the seal will take him for a heap of snow, an appearance which his coat readily helps him to as-

sume.

During the nap* he creeps forward with greater or less rapidity, according to his nearness to the seal and consequent fear of being heard or seen. When but 10 of 12 yards away, and the seal Is in the depths of a good nap. the bear rushes upon him and with a single blow of his powerful paw knocks the smaller brute senseless and so far away from’the hole that he cannot escape by that way. even if the blow received Is not Immediately fatal.

Don't your wife belong to a club? Brownly—No, but there’s a club that belongs to her, and it is the knowledge of that fact that is harrying me home.

Give the GlrU * Cham

Give the girls the best of education. Let them have college education if possible. The way to get the boys of the fntnre is by means of the girls who are to be their mothers. Too much attention has been given to the boys and not enough to the girls. If the boys of a college woman arc capable of receiving a college education they stand the best chance of getting it. The best side of the house is the mother side of it H the girls arc put forward the boys will

get in the neighborhood.
