THE LIFE or A. TRApPER.
1t Is as whole an Undesirable Ex
iafence.

The winter, though not without It's
excitements, is long and lonely one
and the work very hard. For. six
months you see no living sodf and have
only your dog for company. Very
likely, too, you may be poorly paid for
your time. i trapped one whole winter
and only caught four marten by nv
land trapping. After had been at it
for tirie Il saw that there were no
marten in the country. and as / hap
pened to have two No. traps with. me,
! started trapping otter and caught
thirty seven during theswinter. IA
When; the trapping is at an end you
begin to think of getting your fur to
market. The skins must first be got
QUITO your canoe, If you are. trapping
on the coast or on a large river, or else
out to some settlement. The fur is
made up into bales of size convenient
for packing and carried out. cache be-
ing made of your first load If you have
to make two or more trips Then
your canoe is slowed and you set sail
for your market, which on this north
ern coast is generally Victoria, where
the skins are sold at auction.
Nothing definite can be said about
the returns in this business Much de-
ponds on the skill and >industry Of the
trapper, and quite as much on the
abundance or scarcity Of the fur.
About the best winter | ever made in
land trapping was twenty iishers and
from one hundred and eighty to one
hundred and ninety marten. Besides

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
An Appalling State of Affairs the outcom
of Republican Extravaganza.

An Appalling state OF Ahairs the Outcome
Of Republican Extravaganza.
Some whimpering is observable in
the tone of the leading republican
newspapers on the subject of the ma
tional finances. Secretary Foster. it is
stated, will soon issue circular TO the
banks and ''to large employers OF
labor" offering to exchange the frac,
tional silversin the treasury, amounting
10 something over twenty million dol
lars, for paper. In other words, he finds
a necessity confronting him of using an
unavailable non-lega tender fund to
meet the current expenses of govern
ments 1T, is not likely that either the
banks or the large employers Of labor
vii lconsent 10 any such exchange. The
fractional coin is Just as unavailable to
the banks as it is to the government.
There is plenty of fractional coin in cir
culation now. When cup is full it
will hold no more. If this twenty mil
lions could be poured in, itswoalld over
flow and come back to the treasury for
reclamation, and it would have to be re-
deemed too. The large employers of
labor, if they are wise, will be chary
about passing off upon their employees
a kind of money that is not legal ten
der for more than ten dollars in one
payment, and is bulky and inconven-
lent also. Such a course would be
strongly provocative of strikes and
would be politically unwise too, since
il would acquaint the working classes
with the fact that the government
which was left by the Cleveland admin
istration with an enormous surplus, is
already in financial straits. IN. Y Post.

Thlrteen q Lucky Number.

The old superstition that the number
thirteen is unlucky is supposed to have
its origin as far back as the last sup
per, when Judas betrayed his Lord and
afterward hung himself. There are,
however, instances where thirteen has
been a lucky number. as in bakers
dozen, where one loaf is added to the
dozen for luck. There is also an ae-
count Of a British soldier in the reign
of William and Mary who was court
martialed for having fallen asleep at
midnight, when on sentry guard upon
the terrace at Windsor. He most sol
EMMY declared that he was innocent of
the offense and to prove it swore that
he heard the clock Tom of Westmin-
ster strike thirteen when it should have,

ieye that he could. hear the clock at
that great distance aud sentenced him

the clock actually did strike thirteen

would End them dead when the snow
went away this spring. The snow had
drifted high at one end of his barn.
Last Friday the farmer, when running

into hole, when, behold. there were
the turkeys. One of them was alive
and as frisky as kitten; the other one
had evidently been ,9ieads few hours.
They had livedsons show for six weeks.

One of his workmen was dispatched to

ties started out. to solve the mystery.
They found that a very large assure
was opening in the earth in the shape
of a semi-circle and large trees were
falling in every direction. The amount
of land encompassed was about forty
acres This looked as if it might be a
slide, but by examining closely they
found that other assures were opening
on the southwest and northeast, cross

some places was six feet wide. The
depth was not discovered.
