Russian skins are more delicate and much
darker in hue. the prevailing color being
aShen brown. merging into a peculiar
dim black. The tails of the SabeS make
superb garnture for seal or velvet cloakS,
though even a set OF Russian tails cost from
$500 to 81 600. The American sable tails
are much cheaper and quite as effective.
1t is long time since sable clOaks
were fashionable. though they are
coming in with the revived taste
for natural undyed furs. Considering
that the average length of the sable is
t}elve inches and the tall six inches the
cost of sable cloak is necessarily cOnSid-
cradle. 4 pelSSe of SableS made year
ago for the Car of Russia cost S12, 500.
Nothing brings the price of any garment
up like sable. Mrs. Langtry has brought
over with her a sealSkin ulster with deep
band of sable around the bottom which
cost 81. 900. A seal wrap with sable triu-
ming was made a few weeks ago for
fashionable lady in Philadelphia at $500.
Occasionally last winter sable mutf was
seen on the street. but even that one article
is usually so expensive that but few can
indulge in the luxury.
America is now the great fur-producing
continent of the world and the United
States, especially since the acquisition OF
Alaska. practically controls the fur trade
of the world. The Hudson Bay company,
once one of the greatest, if not the great
est. monopoly of the world, is no more
Yet, with all the seal fisheries of Alaska,
the price still keeps up, principally because
the preparation and manipulation of the
fur are kept in few hands. The time
may come, with rapid transit to Alaska and
competition, when every poor girl may
have a real SealSkin Sacque, but probably
by that time they will be no longer fashion

body would want them, One of the great
est fur experts in the country says that not
withstanding the competition of other furs,
sealSkn still holds its own. The whole
tendency of fashion in the fur world is to
natural and undyed furs.
BOaS will again be i'll fashion, but it re-
mains to be seen how many will take to

the small collars and square neck pieces OF

He was astonished to feel the cue strike

squarely in the eye, and the latter was
holding his hand over it and talking in an
unknown language. The game was sus-

time was called again. Before making the

the ludicrous, laughed inordinately as he

As his woes the tenor relate
To the basso showing no sign
OF grief at the luckless wight's fate
He gave these up, too, for bis state

He yawned off to bed at short eight.

is so great that it has to be supplied by

what it gives in place of home influence.
College education may be looked at under
three aspects; it is a moral, ali intellectual
and social training. Its second Side-the
intellectual is generally brought for
ward SO strongly as almost to hide the
moral and social sides; but it seems to
Inc that the last two are quite as important,
if not more so. than the literary side; and it
is about them l wish to speak.
There is a strong moral influence at work
in girls college life. A girl is taught
three things: First, she learns to think;
secondly. she learns concentration Of will
and purpose; thirdly, she learns to answer
the question, Am | my brothers keeper"
As to the firSt-the thinking. What can
be more important in these days? | be-
leve it is the want of time for thinking
that makes so many girls lives failure
now. We do not want to bring the vita
cOntemplativa in place OF the vita actiya in
this nineteenth century; it was a system
that had its day, and died a natural death;
but we do want little more downright
hard thinking mot morbid self analysIsl
about life and its realities. This
college life brings with il. A girl
at school is too young and too
busy to have leisure for thinking; and
her ideas are generally reproductions OF her
parents at home. At college. on the other
hand, she is thrown on her own resources;
she has to form her own opinions on all the
social topics afoat at the time; she hears
questions discussed from all sides and
viewed in ali lights; she is called upon to
speak her own views; and thus she is made
to think with calm judgment and act with
cool reason.
She is taught to think, too. of the needs
of society around her. of its wants and mis-
cries; of the value and use of money; IL
nally, of herself and her place in the world.
Secondly, as to the concentration of will
and purpose. The literary work done at
college affords moral training in this re-
spect.
A girl has certain study placed before
her. ON which she must concentrate all her
energies. She has to plOw steadily through
a certain number Of books. and to work
regularly for some hourS-not skipping here
and there according to fancy.
This literary concentration has an inevi-
table effect on a girls moral nature 1t
produces corresponding unity of purpose
and will; she cannot live in deSultory
way; there will be. henceforth, some idea.
at least, of the beauty of life concentrated
OH one high aim. and with one great ideal
in view. Is not the doing of this very
great work. And there is nothing, | be-
lieve, so much as college life that does i'm
plant this root OF concentration.
