Termsntlns an Antea.sr.

The anteater is described rs being an
extremely stupid. slow moving animal,
by no means given to attacking its
neighbors, but when hard pressed it is
said to sit up on its headquarters like
bear and defend itself with its powerful
claws. Apropos Of this habit The Lon

result that the unfortunate owner was

animal carried off the silk as a trophy Of
well earned victory over its enemy.

The Postmaster. General.

The postmaster generals department

the first holder of the Office was Samuel
Osgood, Of Massachusetts. It may be
added that Massachusetts, has partici-
pated actively in the filing of cabinet
posts, and enjoyed q century ago the po-
htical distinction which now appears to
belong to Ohio. The post OF postmaster
general has usually been filled from the
"borders states. Pierce went to Ten

Lincoln appointed q Maryland man.
Grant went to Maryland and Hayes to

Talk About Furs.

II Is almost as easy TO run up heavy
bills with a furrier as 1t Is with jeweler
or silvsrsmith. Furs, SO far as good profits
are concerned to the fur dealer. are es-
sentially Injuries of the rich. Ii is the
rarest and finest skins that yield the
most lucrative returns, as they com
mand prices which become fanciful IN
proportion TO their scarcity. There In
one point in favor of the fur dealer in
the perishable nature OF his most costly
wares.
Jewelry may be handed down as an
heirloom, and ut the worst the jewels
win only need resetting; services Of sill

The trade in furs has always been one
In which the first cost OF the article has
borne a singularly small proportion to

market. John Jacob Aston, at the time
Of his death the richest man in the
United States, laid the foundation OF his

OF course the skins in passing through
the hands of various individuals were
advanced for various profits ON them be
fore they were sold for six guineas
Still. making every allowance for this
the gains Of Aston were enormous In pro
portion to his FIRST outlay. Although
the profits realized In the fur trade sixty
or seventy years ago can no longer be
obtained the difference between the first
cost of the skins and the retail price Is
