The fur of thf young seal is beautifully soft and silky, shining in the sun like white ; satin, but it soon becomes coarse. It would be interesting if one could i watch seals in the same way that one w atches and photographs birds, in a hiding tent or a shed, such as Dr. { Heatherley and 1 used for the pere gi ine falcons, but 1 atn afraid that it Is impracticable. The difficulties I mentioned at starting concerning land ing. equinoctial gales, etc., make it a bit too risky, to say nothing of the long cold nights which one would have to spend without any artificial heat. In May the nights are short and the hours of sunshine long, but in October things are different, so that 1 fear the actual watching and photographing of the adult seal in his ocean haunts will not be accomplished just yet. A Century Ago. On the eve of the New Tear, 100 years ago. London experienced one of the worst fogs in her history. The fog enveloped not only the r;ty of London, but a large part of England as weli For many years afterward it , was referred to as the “fatal fog.” For five days London was in cotn ; plete darkness. Electric lights, of course, were unknown at that time, while gas had only recently been in trodueed in the great British metropo lis fo' street-lighting purposes. The ! primitive gaslights, however, were to tally unable to penetrate the thick ; and heavy cloud of fog and smoke j that hung like a pall over the city. Business was necessarily suspended i and the people bad to forego their cus tomary occupations. Some of those who ventured from their homes be came lost and in their wanderings fell into the Thames and were drown | ed. Many others were seriously in jured by collisions in the streets. Byron's Anti-Fat Diet. As we all know, one man's food is another man's poison—and certainly j the poet Byron's anti-fat diet would add layers of flesh to some of ns. I A story Is told by some one who j once acted as the poet's host at din : ner. The meal was served and Byron refused dish after dish, asking for bis i cnits and soda water. But, as the i host says, “neither meat, fish nor i wine would he touch, and of biscuits | and soda water, which he asked for. i there had been unluckily no provi ' sion ” Then Byron chose, as the least like ly to make him fat. potatoes and dressed them with viDegar. And of potatoes—the present-day fat man's bugaboo—he made a good dinner. Time's Double. Wife—Can 1 disturb you a minute, ! dear?

Minister of Foreign A fairs Piamenata 1 Is Visiting Certain Luropean Cap itals to Negotiate a Loan for His Government. Paris.—M. Plamenatt. the Montene grin minister of foreijn affairs, who as charge d'affairs at Constantinople in October, 1912 did nore than any one else to precipitate the war of the allies against Turkey is now visiting certain European capitt Is to negotiate a loan for his government. Here and in I.ondon he is said to have met with pronounced success. ! ie is also very hopeful of Rome to make up any bal ance that may be desi.ed. Although the feats of arms per formed by the Montetiengrin army wen rot so conspicuois as those of the other allies, yet this army pre- j vented the Turks in the northwest I from cutting off the Servians and j Greeks and lost about cne-third of its ! total of ".'.030 by so doing The ter ■ rible significance of this mortality Is realized when it is ren einhered that I before the war the ear re population • of Montenegro numbered about 250,- j 000. Now. of course, things are differ ent. The population has doubled ow- j ing to the rearrangement under which I certain territories have been brought ; within King Nicholas' dominions j These include a great part of the Sanjak of Novi Ranar and the whole of the Sanjaks of Ipek and .Tokova. This has had the effect of doubling the population, making it about 500 - | 000. while at the same time it has added materially to the strength of the country. In sjieakir.g of his mission. M. Plamenatz says: For five centuries we Montenegrins have fought for Christian liberation, and now. so far as Europe is con cerned. wc see our task a< oomplisbed. It has not been accomplished how ever. without considerably' sacrifices. I have already spoken about our losses in men. Our losses in money and in valuables of all sorts have also been very great If we had not requisitioned provisions for our troops h certain instances we could never have managed. Fortunately the pa triotic spirit of the peopl3 was such Montenegrin Woman and Child. that there was no unwillingness to give for the common good. But for all that we incurred an expenditure on the war of 50.000,000 to 60,000.000 francs (*10,000.000 to *12,000.000), which, considering that our budget in j ordinary times is no more than about $900,000, is very large. , "Our national existence being now secure, we have entered on what I firmly believe to be an era of peace and pro cress. “Montenegro is in great pan a rocky country, and it has not the advantage possessed by Switzerland, which is also a mountainous region, of attract ! ing crowds of tourists every' year: yet 1 believe that there are great possi bilities before it in the ntar future. , In the meantime, however, it is nec j essary that we should raise money in order to place our finances in a sound condition. There is every prospect that the great powers of Europe will help us. when an opportune time j comes, to float a loan with this ob i ject in view." -— COUNTESS BECOMES A NURSE Has Earned Living as Cab Driver and Barber's Assistant in Paris Be fore Trying New Effort. Paris.—Countess de !a Gueriviere, who in 1907 appeared as the first won i an cab driver in the streets of Paris, has since then twice changed her "pro | fession." After a brief success as a "cabby,” the countess, who at one time was , very wealthy, but is now forced to earn a living, became a barber's as sistant. She then opened a barber’s ; shop on her own account, but this ven ture did not last long. A few months ago the third change took place and the countess became a nurse in a Par is hospital for dogs, cats and birds. RID OF IMBEDDED NEEDLE After Two Years in Youth’* Foot Comes Out Unaided in Calf of His Leg. Lucy. La—Two years ago while walking about the house. H. Y. Smyth, twenty years old, ran a needle into his right foot The doctors were unable to find it, and the pain ceased. The other day while at work on the river front he felt a sharp sting in the calf of his right leg. On investigation he found the needle protruding, and was easily able to withdraw it.
