A London Fur-House.

Walking down Cheapside on the left, you
turn into by street. Here the trades are
decidedly of a mixed character. Take the
ground floors of four houses in line. The
names of the firms decking the windows are
of French, German, Italian, and Polish ori-
gin. Cut across now through pretty old
Cripplegate Churchyard and beneath the
arch of the old wooden houses spared from
the fire. In Whitecross Street peep down
the narrow slum with its mean little. houses
still left in the midst of great city Of
wealth and turmoil. The children are
dancing to a street organ. A little bit of
old London that only waits another month
or two to be swept away And in think
ing of old London City and old London
trades you must needs call to mind that of
the farrier-for the Hudson's Bay Com
pany, with the New River Company, is of
the Oldest of the old.
See the great fur-warehouses, and what
might be termed fur-factory, for here the
skins are cut up into shape. 1t seems
rather odd on entering to notice that even
the principals of wealthy firm are clad in
long white coats similar to those worn by
the carcass butchers in the meat markets.
The same style of garment, though, is in
use in the wool trade, fur and frff being
detrimental to the good wear of sound
broadcloth In the close wareroom there
is curiously unpleasant smell suggestive
of stale varnish, old parchment, and cook
ing of fatty character. Furs are hand
some to the eye, but by no means sweet to
the nose. What, however, strikes you
most at first is the enormous extent and
diversity of the stock. 1t is impossible, as
an outsider, to accurately estimate its value;
but at the least it must be worth 910, 900,
and there is quite possibility of its reach
ing to 950,000. Take, for instance, the
pile of Russian bear-skins The set piled
up in narrow compartment must be
worth, at the very least, 930O, for the
skins run from elO to Els each. But
then these are of the very best of their
kind There is no commodity which varies
so much in value as bear-skin.
In the lots sold at Nishni-Novgorod
Fair parcels of good and bad are Jumped
together, the bad pelts not being worth
more than, say, 5s. and the good f9. The
hunters life, then, must evidently be al
ways more or less of a gamble, and the
Siberian trapper, like the English fisher
man, can never know from one day to an
other what may be the value Of his catch.
The black, the brown, and the grizzly,
though, are all open to cheap imitation,
chiefly made from the skin of the Chinese
gVzt. Again, there is nothing so variable
as the condition of pelt at the time the
game is caught A NANCY summer pelt
Is worth next to nothing soft winter
pelt may be of any value.
To give an idea of the number of clears
brought into the London market; at one
auction this year there were l,45O black
American, 25O brown American 250 grizzly

THE LITTLE ARM.cHA1R.


Margaret E. Sangter in Harper's Bazaar.
Nobody sits in the little arm chair,
II stands in corner dim;
But white-haired mother gazing there.
And yearningly thinking of him,
Sees through the dusk of the long ago
The bloom of her boys sweet face.
AS he rocks so merrily TO and fro,
With a laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book in his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate
And the lesson is hard TO understand,
Ard the figures hard TO mate,
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son,
And she hears the word so often said.
mo fear for our little ONE
They were wonderful days, the dear sweet days
When child with sunny hair
Was hers TO scold, to kiss and TO praise.
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back in the busy years,
When the great world caught the man.
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in wistful dream.
Like picture out of date.
She sees a head with golden CLEAN
Bent over pencil and slate.
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young life's spring.
When the small armchair stood just in the way
The centre of everything.
