Chicago that he had narrowly escaped falling
into the hands of Mexican bandits. Laughing
heartily, Mr. Mackay said
'That story Is all a humbug."

something About the Kinds of Fur
Now Fashionable, With Hints as To
Prices.

From the New York Evening Post
The principal call now Is for the fur of the fur
seal and sea-Otter OF the latter about 5000 are
taken yearly. They ale only found in the North
Pacific islands. The best skins are valued from
one hundred to five hundred dollars, and are
especially affected by the wealthy Chinese. The
Russian sable-though why so named is an
enigma, the choicest specimens coming from
Kamtschatka- extremely fashionable through
out the world, the fur being valued for its great
beauty, and being unique from the fact that the
hairs turn and lie equally well in any position.
The animal is related to the weasel, pine and
stone martens, mink, etc, but exceeds them all
in the beauty and length of the Over-har; that
is long. flowing and of a rich blush dark shade
wearing extremely well. the pelt being tough
and durable. Nearly 100000 are caught yearly
at all points. bringing from $50 to $50 skin,
and the lady who would wear perfect set of
furs from it must pay nearly %, 00O
The American marten-frOm Labrador and
Great Whale riyer-is much i'm demand. Artists
brushes are made from the hairs of the tail, and
for this and other purposes over 1870 900 are cap
tured yearly, valued at S25 per skin for the
best. OF pine martens 20O. 900 are used. 1t is a
rich brown. being often passed off by dishonest
dealers as Russian sable. In this country the
better class of mink retains its popularity, the
dark chestnut browns and blacks being rich
and elegant in the extreme and often passed off
upon the innocent purchaser as Russian sable
The dark blue, lustrOuS shades are most admired
and come from Maine, Nova Scotia the middle
and northwestern states. The trappers realize,
or should. from IS to S25 per skin for the
$50 600 animals killed yearly.
Ermine skins are now rated at about $50
apiece, and the coat of Louis TX. was probably
worth at the time 50 500 One of the most
fashionable furs is that of the silver fox 1t is
rich. deep glossy black with blush tinge So
beautiful are they that $500 has been given for
single skin, and La HOutan states that in his
time the skin of one of these foxes brought it's
weight in gold. Skins frequently bring $3.50
OF the 1900 caught yearly, about LOCO are used
in England, and they are occasionally seen upon
the streets of New York.
Cheap grades of furs are made from the Sibe-
ran squirrel, muskrats, rabbits, wildcats, bad
ger, coon and even the common domestic cat
OF which 900 and over are killed yearly:
yet the attentive observer about New York is
often reminded and forced to observe that the
supply exceeds the demand Other animals
used in trimming, etc, are lions. tigers and
bears. OF the former 500 are consumed by the
trade every year. while 10000 BEARS 500 tigers,
OO.OOO buffalo, 100 900 chinchilIas and 5000 600
squirrels have been and are used yearly in
various branches of trade.

The Man I'm the Moon.

From the Oornhin Magazine
The common account of the man in the moon.
that he is the individual whom the Israelites
stoned for gathering sticks on the Sabbath, Is
probably only mOdernzed version of a much
older story. The earliest form of the many SIM
liar stories seems to be that the moon as q
man, and a far-seeing one, has power over
mankind which he can exercise at will for their
hurt or punishment. In the Edda, the moon
takes up two Children who were doing nothing
more than carrying water-pGts on their should
ers. In Swabia, children who look out Of win
dOWs are Still sometimes cautioned against being
carried off by the man in the moon, nor are they
allowed, in imitation of the hare in the moon. to
make the figure of hare on the walls with their
fingers. In the same district, the sin of the man
In the moon was simply that of working In his
vineyard by moonlight; while. according to an
other version, woman was taken up for spin
ming at her window by moonlight, and her fax
and hair may still be seen there. To this day
this primitive idea Of sin against the moon ex-
lists in Swabia, where it Is still thought sinful
to spin or sew in the moonlight and it is COM
mon thing to hear it said, "Leave off working.
or you will go to the MOON"
Stories therefore Of the moon which connect
the punishment Of a residence there with offences
against morality or Christian ordinances. NAV
be supposed to have less antiquity than those
which connect 1t with no sin at all or with sin
against the moon ITSELF For instance, such
stories as the Bohemian one, that the moon
having warned a thief against stealing peas
took him up when he persisted in doing so or
the TyrOlese and German tales, that the moon
carried off rascal who went about at night
sticking sheep with fork, or who held bram-
bles before the moon to conceal his theft of q
horse OF cabbages, cherries, fish or cheese
seem to be the adaptation of more primitive
belief to a changed and somewhat advanced
state OF thought rather than the expression of
the earliest notions on the subject The further
addition to these stories that the thief or profane
Sabbath-breaker bears his load Of cabbages or
sticks for all eternity, as an eternal warning to
mankind, seems an additional confederation of
this hypothesis.

The Pay Of Actresses,

From the New York Mail.
Celia Logan said in her lecture in New York
the other evening that Sin no other occupation
does woman receive such liberal pay for her
work as on the stage Few and fortunate are
the female writer's who make $4,000 or $2O, 900
by lifetime Of work: but thisis not unfrequently
the net result of single season to the actress !"
How many actresses are there who can make
$4,000 or $90, 900 as the net result of single
season. Miss Logan can easily count them upon
her fingers. The truth is, her representation as
to the lucrativeness Of the occupation OF ac-
tresses IL misleading. The stars Of the stage
command immense pay, but there are hundreds
of unknown actresses who almost starve where
there is one female star who wins fortune No
girl should be allured to the stage by Miss
Logan's representation that 1t Is the most lucra-
tive Of occupations for women. Remarkable
talents, If not genius are essential to the success
which she describes, and young woman thus
highly endowed should remember that Charlotte
Cushman, whom Miss Logan quotes 80 freely.
once advised young friend possessed Of the
power to win fame @ an actress to beware of
the stage.

paper at South Bend, Ind, at the time Of the
Black Hawk war, and when 800 Hoosier volun-
teers went to the scene of action only to find
that the war had come to an end, he saw the
comical side of their experience and published
sketch of what they didn't do, calling them the
"BlOOdy Three Hundred" The fun fitted ex
quisitely, but large number of the men lacked
either the sense or spirit to appreciate it, and
became very angry. They went to the young
editors home, hundred strong, and called him
out, intending to duck him in mill-pond He

without stint and taunted them with cowardice
