MILLIONS OF SQUIRE L TAILS.


Dyed Rabbit Skins Are SttsI LARGELY Used
In tho Fur Trade.
A good deal of uncertainty seems to
prevail as TO the likely supply of seal
skins, but a recent feature in the fur
trade is the liberal resort 70 the use of
tails of animals which at one time were
regarded as being of very secoDd-rate
importance. The most urgent demand
for tails would appear to be in the in
stance of erInine. But the point only,
being jet black, is inserted, after the
well-known fact of their introduction,
at intervals-in reality the crrnine trim
mings of the sovereign and royal family
not actually consisting of the tail of the
ermine. but Of the paws of the black
Astrakhan lamb or other suitable black
fur.
Squirrel tails arc, however, largely
used. and one or two millions of these
find their way annually into the mar
ket, as well as martens tails, which
really make beautiful fur. The
musquash tail Is also large article of
commerce, the musquash skin itself
being. perhaps, the best natural low
priced fur that finds its way into our
market. and far superior in point of
wear to the dyed rabbit skins that are
sold m black and brown lustered goods
familiar To the trade

New to tho Business.

A West Washington young lady (says
the Post of that city,, who has been
married but few weeks, had her first
experience at ''going to market" the
other day. After she had succeeded in
making several laughable blunders, as
young wives are apt to. she approached
poultry dealer and asked the price of
chickens Being told by the dealer,
who also handed her fine pair of live
birds to examine. she quieted their fiut-
terlng as best she could. and then. ap-
plying her nose to them, and giving
them an audible smell. said, in the most

Japan and China.

The women of America will be very
much shocked TO hear of little sign
which occupies place on the banks Of
the Yuen-Fule river in Foochow: do
Not Drown Female Infants Here. "The
sign is read by 750, 600 Foochowans,
causing no blush and no comment. The
killing of a girl baby in China is crime
never punished The birth of a fe-
male child throws the whole family
into deepest grief, and the mother often
finds that the only way in which she
can retrieve herself is to dispose of the
infant quietly and effectively. Very
different is the state of things in Japan.
There the parents are straining every
nerve to educate their children, girls
as well as boys Even young husbands
are sending their young wives to school.
European clothing is worn lit is an
open question, however, whether this
is an improvement), and colleges and
seminaries have been established all

is due TO the efforts of the empress of
