We fed them with coffee, milk puuch,

their hearts"
These men-Who, but for this timely aid,

they could be conveyed by the government

How to Preserve your Furs.

Furs, says o writer in one Of the N. York
papers, WIN seems to be thoroughly familiar
with the subject, should never be put away
for tho summer and forgotten, as they 70 fro
quently are and, next to being shut up from
the air, their greatest enemy is damp. II
from the wearcr being exposed to rain they
become wet, they should always be dried at
a moderate distanee.from the ffs immediate.
ly; and In warm weather, when not required
for wear. they should never DO shut In box
or drawer for more than few days q. a time,
and every few weeks they should be shaken
and beaten. .......f
The more delicate skins require somewhat
more delicate treatment. The best plan is
probably not to pack furs away, but to lot
them lie in drawer or wardrobe that is con.
