When they were given, and England found that faith wasjbroken with her,there was one course open for her, and that was adopt-

the American authorities to-

very sensibly remarks :-—

‘* Bat why is so much bad feeling engender- ed between two governments? The only reason we are told is ‘ that the seals must be protected or they will be wiped out.’ Well, would the extermination of the seal be such a great calamity to the world? They and what they bring are nothing buta luxury at best, and I have heard of and known many who have lived long and enjoyed good health and even died virtuous and happy without ever owning a sealskin cloak.

‘*Then why should the seal be protected any more than the salmon that swim in our streams or the whales in the ocean, or the buffaloes that once covered our plains? On the contrary, there are good reasons why they should be destroyed. They are not an article of food. They are very destructive to fish of every kind. The lowest estimate made by experts is that each seal consumes about ten pounds of fish daily, and according to Professor Elliott about six millions of seals visit the Pribylov Islands every year. These would destroy sixty million pounds of fish daily, or ten times as much as would feed every soul of us every day in the year.

‘The question might be asked, Which is more essential to human life, food or sealskins? But if protection is absolutely necessary why not protect the seals in their rookery, their breeding place in Pribylov islands, and not allow any to be killed there? This would be protection to the purpose. Instead of this our government has for the last year been leasing the right to kill them there to a cor- poration which destroys one hundred thou- sand annually, while the little vessels that hunt them in the open sea and kill one. quarter of that number are said to be ruth- lessly destroying them. ‘To agree to seals not being killed at certain seasons or in certain localities is what the two countries should do. But to gre a privilege to a wealthy corpora. tion to kill and destroy animals by the thou- sands and to make millions of dollars profit,

es

while the hardy and industrious hunters and sailors are not allowed to chase them for a bare living, is as absurd as it Is unfair,

6th Fusileers, - ie + a — Horse Notes.

A St. John paper says it is understood that Mr. Clarke, of that city, has sold his trotting mare Maud C. to Boston parties for the snug sum of $2,000. Maud C. did splendid work at the circuit meeting on the Charlottetown driving park last sum’ mer.

Speaking of the paragraph recently published wherein it was stated that on the Fredericton track Dave Atherton’s King Charles lowered the maritime province trot- ting record by making a mile in 2.29, the Halifax Recorder says: ‘Judging from the despatch, this was merely a private trial, and does not form a record. The time made in Halifax was 2.30}, by Black Pilot, two years ago, but this is not the best mar- itime province record.

There was an immense crowd of people at the Cleveland, 0., driving park last Thursday to witness Sunol and Harry Wilkes trot against time. Wilkes was sent to beat 2.14, but only completed the mile in 2.143, while Sunol, who was sent to beat Wilkes’ time, made the mile in 2.15.

The well-known stallion Hernando as- tonished a goodly number of spectators at the Trotting Park, on Saturday afternoon. With Mr. Winans sitting behind him, he trotted a quarter mile in 363} seconds, a 2.26 clip. Some of the watches made his time for the quarter 36 seconds. Her- nando’s record is 2.375, made on the Sum- merside track four years ago. His last performance is wonderful considering the fact that his stud season is not yet over. Preceptor was also given a spin around by Mr. Winans during the day, and showed up in splendid form, promising well. Mr. Large’s Golden, Mr. Connolly’s Harry C, and other promising ones were also on the track, and were greatly admired.

—Ship railways appear to be growing in favor. In addition to the one now under construction across the Chignecto isthmus, comes a report concerning a similar project from Georgian Bay to Toronto, Canada, a distance of about seventy miles. This rail- way, if completed and successful, will, says the Railway Review, shorten the distance between Chicago and Lake Ontario some 600 miles, Mr. E, L. Corthell, of Chicago, who, it will be remembered, was intimately

to be favorably impressed with the idea and to be ready to take an active interest in it. Modern engineering apparently delights in accomplishing the impossible, and it is not improbable that in the modern ship railway a new transportation element may be developed.

DYSPEPTICURE the Specific for Dyspepsia.

Thousands of bottles of DYSPEP- TICURE have been sold during the past few years without any advertise- ment whatever. It is now well known in nearly every part of the Maritime Provinces, and many orders have been filled for Quebec, Mass., and Maine. DYSPEPTICURE not only aids Diges- tion, but positively cures Indigestion and Chronic Dyspepsia; this quality of CURING the disease explains its large and spreading sale without having been brought to the notice of the public.

DYSPEPTICURE may now be obtained from all Druggists. Price per bottle, 35 cents and $1.00 (the latter four times size of former).

An important pamphlet on DYS- PEPTICURE prompily mailed, free, to any address.
