Haoa Hiding Placw
TtMf to mystery surrounding the
fur Mtl which ha never been solved.
Mo one has ever been able to dUcover
wbere they go In winter. No one baa
yet been able to make a record of
their biding place.
All that Is known, says the Minne
apolis Tribune, is that on the Islands
of St.'Paul and St. George, In Alaska,
the seals begin to appear about the
end of April or the Hrst of Mny and
toward tlie-Jatler part of August or In
the Itrst weeks of September they dis
appear ms strangely and mysteriously
as they came. In this respect they
are inn less puzzling to scientists than
the huge schools of tuna fish which
appear :md disappear from the waters
of southern 'allfornla remilnrly each
yen f.
Tun:i lisli have been caught, marked
and turned h...sc, with the hope Hint
some of them iniKhl he caught In oth
er waters during the winter months,
lul so far none of them has lieeli cap
Hired A similar method of marking
seals would do no good, for they are
never seen during the winter months.
Years ago the seals numbered 5,0Kl,
000 or more, where today I bey may be
counted only up to four or five hun
dred thousand. Yet even In the days
when they were most numerous, their
habit of disappearing suddenly with
out leaving a trace of their where
abouts and as suddenly reappearing
after an absence of several monlhs
was Just as mysterious us It is toduy.
Paris Bank Messenger
Needs No Armed Guard
The l'arls hank messenger wears a
cocked hat w ith an air of dignity. Ill
coat Is liberal In cut and you can see
the big hruss buttons on it glittering
in the sunshine quite a long way off.
A brass plate over his heart bears a
number and under his arm he carries
a leather satchel attached to a big
chain secured about his waist.
There Is an air of prosperity uboiit
hltn. He is of liberal proportions ami
plants his feet firmly. He Inspires con
fidence and we might trust our for
tune to his keeping and still sleefi
peacefully ut night.
We meet him often in the busy
nuirnlnir near the opera pursuing his
steadfast wuy along the crowded pave
ment. He, least of anyone, is In a
hurry. He Is picturesque, slow and
sure. And that we feel we may con
fide our treasure to him In due not to
the chain of shining steel with which
he grapples It, nor his glittering but
tons, nor the brazen number on his
breast, hut he Is secure, Inviolate le
cuuse he Is fantastic, and treasure
walks the streets unguarded save by
the fantasy of a glorious cocked hat

When Poachers FlourUhed
As a piiifesslon, poaching has fallen
off greatly In Great Britain. A hun
dred years ago the nights between the
harvest and hunters' full moons were
the nights of the poachers' delight, and
there would he a steady flow of game,
not killed by shot, to the cellars of
dealers in country towns, to the coun
try Inns, n ml to the boxes of such
coachmen n:id guards and country car
riers us were willing to do a little
business In handling game. A hundred-year-old
record shows that no fewer
than four-ami fifty poachers were shel
tered In Lewes Jail at one time. There
were poachers in every town anil vil
lage, hence the threatening notices,
"Beware of Mantraps." still often to
be seen In British woodlands.
Fires in Forests
It Is not practicable to equip forests
with lightning rods. No remedy is now
In Right for disastrous forest tires due
to lightning, such us have occurred on
a vast scale in the western states dur
ing the last season, says Nature Mag
azine of Washington. When lightning
strikes a tree the ordinary result Is to
splinter the wood or strip off bark
through the sudden generation of
steam. In the great majority of cases
the tree Is not set on lire. Neverthe
less the aggregate number of forest
flres started bv liehtnlng Is, In many
parts of the country, greater than the.
number due to all oiner causes com
blned.
Paper in Farming
A .10 per cent Increase in the pinenp;
pie crops of the Huwalian islands has
been accomplished by use of broad
strips of brown, paper that completely.,
cover the soil around the plants. The
paper smothers the weeds, thereby
leaving all the nourishment for the
plants, which force their way up
through the covering. Also, the paper
protector conserves the moisture In
the soil. The waste fibers of sugar
cane, once considered valueless, ar
used for making the paper. Seventy
Are thousand rolls of It at a cost of
$200,000 are used yearly to cover the
8,600 acres of pineapple plantations In
the Islands.

At Last
How often the wild rose has moved
Its first flame along the skirts ol horn
beam hedge or beech thicket, or the
honeysuckle begun to unwind her pale
horns of Ivory and moongold, and yet
across the furthest elm-tops to the
south the magic summons of the
cuckoo has been still unheard In the
windless amber dawn, or when, as In
the poet's tale, the myrlud little hands
of twilight pull the shadows out of the
leaves and weave the evening dark.
But when the cry of the plor Is
broad we know that our welcome
spring Is come at last. Flonn Macleod.

West Virginia Lady Says That
She Was in a Serious Condi
tion, But Is Stronger After
Taking Cardui.
Huntington, -W. Va. "I was in a
very weak and run-down condition
In fact, was in a serious condi
tion," says Mrs. Fannie C. Bloss, of
1964 Madison Avenue, this city.
"In my left side the pain was
very severe. It would start in my
itack and sides. Part of the time I
eras in. bed and when up I didn't
feel like doing anything or going
anywhere.
"Life wasn't any pleasure. I
was very pale. I was nervous and
thin, and so tired all the time.
"My druggist told me that Cardui
was a good Ionic for women and I
bought a couple of bottles. I took
two bottles, then I noticed an im
provement. I kept on and found
it was helping inc. I have taken
nine bottles. I'm stronger now
than I have been in a long time."
Cardui is made from mild-acting
medicinal herbs with a gentle, tonic,
strengthening effect upon certain
female organs and upon the system
in general.
