SEA WOLF LED SEAL RAID THE MOST ROMANTIC FIGURE 0N PACIFIC COAST. He and His Schooner Have Figured Largely in Pimlical Raids on the Rookeries. Golden Gate as tree as the west wma. It was rumored soon afterward that she had picked up a sealing outfit in Halt Moon Bay and proceeded to the Kuriles and the Smoky Sea, as she was reporlevl in that neighborhood at various times tor a year. Capt. McLean was next heard of when still master of the Carmencita. He was arrested in September, 1905. in Victoria, B. (3., by the Canadian authoriâ€" ties at the request of the American Con- sul. Again nothing definite was ob tained against his schooner, for this time she was under the Mexican flag. SAILED UNDER VARIOUS FLAGS. Cleared of this specific trouble, Mc- Lean appeared at various points in the Pacific, sometimes under his own flag, sometimes under the Norwegian eni- blcm; and then the captains of the rev- enue cutters in the North began to re- call him as the chief of many a furious raid of previous years“ It was always said he was close to piracy, but it could ‘never be proved against him. He was suspected and was challenged, but nev- er convicted. \The Commander lsWands, owned by the Russians, presented about that, time tjie finest of all killing grounds for the holluschikie. The “Asiatic herd” was the technical term for this seal people; (and, knowing that the Russian navy Was busy in“anoiher part of the world‘ McLean descended in his might, expect- ing to meet with no resistance. But the coast guard was as crafty as he, and beat him off. McLean was overwhelmed once, too, on the perimeter of the restricted Pribi- loll group by the British cruiser Sheerâ€" walcr, but again the Mexican flag af- forded him protection until that Govern- ment finally withdrew it by revoking his license. It is not at all improbable that Kipâ€" ling elevalcd the captain into verse in “The Rhyme of the Three Sealers,”when the guilty Reuben Paine of the Sim]- sund asserts :~ "But, I’ve six thousand skins below and Yeddo Port so see; And there’s never a law 01 God or man runs north of Fifty-three." THANKS FOR FOOD. A pretty table observance in Danish families is for children, even little ones who can scarcely toddle, to go gravely after dinner to salute their parents and say. “Talk for mad” (“Thanks for the meal"). Even visitors shake hands with their host and hostess and go through the some formality. In German families that. hold to tradition the some custom prevails. When the evening meal is ended the party stand up around the table and each shakes hands with the neighbor, saying, “Gasegnete Mahlziet” â€"â€"blessing the food. It remained, however, for Jack Lon- don to portray one of the darkest fig- ures in fiction, for the terrible form of Wolf Larsen was hewn. it is said, from the life of AlexanderAMcLean.

Go wit Mr. Topnoody had been to a minstrel show over night, and the funny con- nudrums and jokes he heard set him thinking. So at breakfast he began on Mrs. Topnoody. She was Iretlul, and not very much in the humor for plea- sanlry. but Topnoody slashed away. “I say. Mrs. Topnoody, can you spell money with four letters 7”. j‘No, 1 can’t,” she said. “Ha, ha! That’s good. A woman never can get at this sort. of thing in the same clear-headed way a man can. Well, the way to spell it is c-as-h. llsn’t that, money l” Mrs. T. failed to smile, and Topnoody started out with another. “Wait ‘a minute," she interrupted. “I've got 0116. Let’s see 11 you can guess it. Spell Topnoody with five letters." Topnoody puckered his brows awhile, and gave it up. “Ha, ha 1” laughed Mrs. T. “That‘s good.

Isn’t that Topnoody ?” But Topnoody never smiled, and the breakfast was finished in silence. ex- cept for an occasional chuckle from Mrs. Topnoodle's end ol the table.

Some of the institutions on Japanese railways are peculiar to that country. One of these is a smear of paint across the windows of third-class carriages. This is made necessary because thou- sands of native travellers in Japan, ac- customed to only paper walls for let- ting in light, have no knowledge of glass. lts utter transparency leads them to believe that the window is simply a hole in the side of the car.

Lead poisoning claims more victims than any other of the diseases which threaten the factory hand, but the rare disease of anthrax, which attacked only a tenth of the number of people, was responsible in 105 for almost as many deaths. Of 592 cases of lead poisoning in England and Wales last year, only twenty-three ended fatally. Of fifty-nine cases of anthrax, 18 ended in death. The figures for the last five years show that only one case of lead poisoning in twen- ty-eight proves fatal; the chances of life to a person attacked by anthrax are more than three to one. Modern scien- tific improvements have very materially reduced the danger of lead poisoning, but anthrax, which seems inseparable from the handling of wool, hair, and hides, has rather tended to become more serious, and the deaths last year were half as many again as the average Water. but anthrax, which seems inseparable from the handling of wool, hair, and hides, has rather tended to become more serious, and the deaths last year were half as many again as the average for the last five years. Of the 592 cases of lead poisoning in 1905, ninety oc- curred in white lead works and eighty- iour in the china and earthenware in- dustry, but the ratio of deaths to cases was highest in the glass cutting and polishing industry. The average an- nual number of workshop poisoning cases for the last five years was 722. It’s hard to convince women that men think they talk too much. "Ind, “OSHAWA” Steel Shingles.
