The Weasel Family.

The fur Of the weasel family is in
great demand by the dealers because
Of its beauty and adaptability in many
classes of wearing apparel. What is
known as ermlne IS produced By a lit
tie animal called the stoat in England.
In winter he changes his reddish
brown skin to a white one. Savage
and bloodthirsty Is this little crea-
ture, preylng upon everything that he
can o7erpower. His chief food con-
sists OF partridges and rabbits, but
many other small animals are disposed
of in the same way. The pine marten,
o member Of the weasel tribe, has a
brown skin and yellow throat. Stone
martens have blush brown coat With
white throat. They are larger than
the stoat and more destructive. The
other is the king Of weasels. He can
whip ANYTHING of his weight in the
world. He is hunted with hounds IN
England, and can give six or seven
dogs all they can do to kill him. Like
the mink, he is very fond OF fish and
water fow;.
All OF the weasel family are very
fierce and strong for their size. The
skunk, with his black and white coat;
the badger, mSh his beautiful silver
gray fur and black dashes, and the
sable, are all of the same species and
valuable fur-bearing nimals.-Boston

Most Confirmed OF Woman KatcrS.

Probably the most confirmed MISC
gynist who ever lived was wealthy
old bachelor who has just died IT
Vienna. After mis- death bundle OF
documents was discovered among his
belongings, labeled: attempts made
by my family to put me under the
yoke of matrimony." In this packet
were si1ty-two letters, the dates rang
ing from 1916 to 1893, sufficient
proof OF the tenacity OF his relations.
So afraid was this strange man Of even
sitting near a woman that whenever
be went to the theatre he booked
three seats, in order that he might
have one on either side Of him empty.
When travelling in railway carriage
he was always careful to smoke large,
foul-smellins pipe, to keep away IN
truders Of the female sex. In his will
ne said: u beg that my executors
will see that I am buried where there
is no woman inferred either TO the
right or left OF me. Should this not
be practicable III the ordinary course
of things, direct that they purchase
three graves, and bury me in the mid
die one of the three. leaving the two
others unoccupiea. "-London News.

New Process OF Extracting Gold.

A new process of extracting gof6
from auriferors ores has been devised
by Mr.. G. Lorsen, and is described is'
tie Technical World. He electrolyzes
a ISOLATION of bromide of potassium,
and thereby obtains an alkaline solu-
ton which contains hypo5romide and
bromate, which is capable of dissolv-
ing gold. The ore is treated with an
excess Of this solution by rotating
cylinders. The solution is then fl
tered, the gold precipitated by pas
sage over mixture of iron and codl,
and the solution, which now contains
bromide of potassium mainly, Is once
more electrolyzed, and again used tor

soap which wants rubbing into the
clothes, whereas it is the water. Soap
assists the cleansing process, but it is
the water which really does the work.
Then the flannel must be immediate

it is rubbed through in just the same
way, and turned in order that every
part may receive its full share of rims

wrung tightly with the hands or passed
through an india rubber wringer, which

In washing little ones fannels the
greatest care should be taken. They

A Fault In Piano Playing.

A we'll known teacher tells in The
Etude that one of the most common
faults i'll piano playing is the practice of
playing the two hands out of time with
each other. Nine players out of ten per-
NIT the left hand to lead the right, when
the two should strike the keys simulta-
neously. 1t is a sort of swagger that pro-
duces a very inartistic effect. Of course
there are rare cases where this dilatori-
ness of the right hand may be legitimate,
but it should be remembered that in
general it is reprehensible and should
be carefully avoided. If the composer
indicates the simultaneous performance
of the notes belonging to the two hands,
let not the slightest discrepancy be man
ifest. To play the two hands out of
time with each other is to be not only
inaccurate, bat to appear affected. Shall
low players resort to such devices to
cover up the lack of ability to play with
expression. Il takes the place of shading
and phrasing with the superficial.
