Furs in Summer.

THE oDoE OF TAR THE Brsr PREVENTIVE.
I'VE have plenty Of employment in look
ing after and caring for the furs that are
left with Us during the summer season for
preservation from the moths and other in
sects," said a Philadelphia furrier the other
day. "ln fact, this is the principal and most
important branch of our business in the
season when furs are not in use. presume
that there are now IN storage in this city
something like 1000 seal skin sacques and
cloaks, while To estimate the number of
mutfs, collars, capes and other articles OF
fur that are put away carefully for the sum
mer would be beyond the power of any liv-
ing mortal.
"Seaskin. the most valuable of all furs,
il, strange to say the least liable 70 the raw
ages of the meth don't know why this
is exactly, but have been told that there is
something in the dye that ofitnds the fes-
tive moths and causes them tc seek other
pasture. Bat it is not so with squirrel skins,
i'll which the moth revels and delights SOUR
rel fur is largely used on ladies' cloaks and
dolmans. and serves very often as a lining
for winter garments for ladies and children
The moths attack it without fail If il be left
unguarded and the result is that if squirrel
lined cloak or other garment is carelessly
hung up for the summer the odds are that
it will come out in the autumn fit only for
the rag-bag. The ladies monopoIize the
squirrel fur, gentlemen having preference
for beaver, muskrat, raccoon or buffalo.
These. too, are subject to the rayages of the
moths and are very apt TO he eaten up in
month or two if not carefully watched.
You have no idea what a ravenous fellow the
moth is. He is ruthless and renorseless
and seems to waste ten times as much as he
eats. When he first lights on piece of fur
he shifts his grazing ground frequently,
seeming IN pure pride Of possession, but
finally settles down to work systematically
II not dislodged he can destroy thousand
dollar set of furs in week and be ready for
another job
when we put furs into storage for the
season our first care is to beat them thor
oughly with rattans, to drive the dust out
and to get rid Of the moth eggs that may
have been laid in them or been blown into
them from the air. This done, they are
hung ON wire frames that dis,end them and
put into closets that are lined with tar pa
per. Moths cannot stand the strong odor
of tar and never live long under its influence
Every three or four weeks the furs are la
ken from the closets and beaten with rat
tans, and SO in the course of a season every
article has to be handled at least dozen
times. In old times camphor was used. but
it was discovered that il had tendency to
detract from their color and make them

Ans Well That Ends Well.

NEW YORK, September A.-Fanny was
the charming daughter Of ex.Alderman
schwalberg, of Dutch Kills, Long Island,
and the reigning belle OF the village. She
was dutiful at home, gentle, and the idol
of her parents, But love had taken
possession Of her heart and
the longiDgs for the society OF
the dear one completely shattered al neaE
sof duty for her, and she determined to
elope. Fanny not appearing in her accus-
toned seat at the breakfast table on Mon
day, a search revealed delicately y.penned
note to mamma, revealing the startling III.
telligence that she had left the parental
roof to join her fortunes with those Of her
dear, dear James, Callahan, by name, and
the son OF the Commissioner.
The parents OF this daring couple came
together, and contrary to all custom, in
stead of racing after them with shooting
irons and threatening all sorts Of nonsen-
sical things, agreed upon the following
queer plan: rAe abode Of the truants be-
ing known, they were surprised by COM
mittee that inaugurated feast Of good
things and, as present from their parents,

with. The denouement may be imagined.

of 1880 just loo,5ss stay.athoms voters.
The Republican loss Of votes was
T,001, the Democratic loss 23,53s.
On the face, adding the Democratic major
ity and loss together and subtracting from
the Republican loss, this would indicate,
if such vote Is polled this year a. antici-
pated, q Republican majority Of 34,Sis.
This is predicted on there being full vote
and allowing for possible stay at. homes the
Increase in voting population Of three
years from 1880 TO 1888. The Democrats
lake different view Of thing. Secretary
BalIentine asserts that there were
Large Numbers or Republicans
voting the Democratic ticket last year, tax.
ing the place at the polls of the stay at.
home Democrats, and that the proportion
of the stay at hemes was $1,000 Democrats
and S. 600 Republicans. He consequently
claims the State, on q full vote, by about
last years majority. But there are
other considerations that are not to Be
overlooked. Last year Hamilton county
gave Newman l0,6S9 majority. The most
sanguine Cincinnati Democrat does not
claim il by over 1900 or 5000 for Hoadly,
and Republicans are confident OF carrying
II for Foraker. Ballentine wildly predicts
i,NNV W O,OOO tOi ttOhuIy
ilton, but John .. Thompson, whose vet.
ersn figuring is worth something, says
Cuyahoga will give q
Larger Democratic Majority
than Hamilton. This may be construed
10 mean that neither will do anything In
that line, for reports from Cuyahoss are
more encouraging daily, but do not think
Thompson so intended. Cuyahoga gave
Newman 24Sl. John Farley has
said it will give Hoadly 5000.
But IL Newman's vote is not
cut down to the smallest margin IL not en-
tirely wiped out, il will be 10 the deep dis
grace of Cuyahoga Republicans, who have
II in their power to win sweeping victo-
ry. Again, Franklin gave l,5sA for New
man, Lucas col, and Montgomery
,S9i. None OF these will do as we'll this
year. These five counties, containing the
five large cities Of the State, made up
l. ,Gli majority for Newman OF the 1915
that he received in the State. This is a
significant feature OF the comparison OF
figures end one that should not escape the
attention OF the rural population. From
such figures and comparison it is evident
that only one thing is necessary To full and
sweeping Republican succeSs-a full vote.
