mysterious concealed in the existence
OF dust, for even in the pure air, at an
elevation of 1000 feet, it has been ascer-
tanned that there are about "a 900 dust

in crowded city they would amount to
no less than 30,o0O,O0O particles per

A UNIQUE OVERCOAT.
1t Is Made Of the Skins Of Unborn Musk
Oxen.

S. n. Malterner. of Spokane, wears
an overcoac that is bound to attract at
tention, no matter where it is seen.
The coat is made out of fur of the un-
born musk OK, and, while not Only very
rare. is exceedingly pretty. The coat
is light in weight and were it not for the
weight of the lining would seem as
though made of the softcst down. The
color is a light silver gray when the
light is upon it from one direction and
as soon as the light is shifted it turns
to clear gray. When seen under u
light not very bright it has the appear
ance of jet black. Mr.. Malterncc says
that it has attracted so much ntten-
ton in the eastern cities that he had
to lay it aside to keep from being both
cred answering questions as to what it
was and where he got it.
THE fur of the unborn musk OK"
said he, sis very rare. In fact, it cannot
be had for money. The way got tho
fur to make this one was peculiar. Two
years ago made Il trip to the Great
Slave lake, and in fitting out at Atha-
basca Landing l bought canoe, pay
ing 500 for it. 1t was along toward
fall when l got back to the landing,
and there I met an old trapper, vino
had been hunting and trapping along
the lakes and rivers for a number Of
years. He seemed to take quite fancy
to my canoe, although he did not say
anything, but was looking it over care
fully and noting its good points, as a
horse fancier would blooded horse.
Finally he stepped up to me and said:
Say, mister. what are you going to do
with that boat?'
"At that time I had no expectations
Of ever going up in that part of the coun-
try again and, as the boat could be of
little value to me. answered.: Just to
show you that the Yankees are all right
III give you that boat He was greatly
pleased and, after looking it over again,
he said: Well, III just show you that
the old trapper is all right, too and,
taking me over to his warehouse, he
got number of these furs and gave
them to me. At cash value they would
he worth many times the canoe, and
they were his accumulation for q mum.
Der OF years.
"Aftcr making the coat, found that
I only lacked two of having enough to
make Jacket for my sister, and when
| went on my trip down the Mackenzie
this year ] met the trapper again an
told him that should like to get three
more. He loaned me the canoe that I
had given him the year before, and
when returned to the landing in the
fall ne had three furs for NE" -Spokanc

rue NEGROES. CURLY HAIR.

ls 10 0 Protection to the Brsin from the
Tropical sun.
The fiat nose of the African and his
large nostrils result from the necessity
of inhaling larger draughts Of tropical
air TO produce the same degree OF vital
ity, because Of its greater expansion;
thus the increased exercise produces
increased expansion of the nostrils OF
. large nose.
The curling Of the Africans hair. the
St. Louis Republic says, while univer-
sal on his continent. is common in
every country Of the globe. Perhaps
this has its scientific solution In the
fact that the curls defect the rays OF
the tropical sun, thus preventing their
more severe penetration into the brain.
In tho transmission of light, it is law
that every intervening object with
which u ray comes in contact bends
and diverts in another direction.
Heat curls every kind of hair and
that which is provided in nature for
the protection of the brain from injury
by the rays of a tropical sun is Gre.
nted endowment, which by degrees is
becoming naturally transmissible and
inherited.
The skull of the African, with its pc
culiar thickness. affords another fea.
ture Of protection to the brain.
It is evident that it is the outdoor ex-
posture of the wording classes that
makes their skin SO black. 1t must
also be remembered that it is not the
skin alone of the men of Africa which
manifests deep color, but this charac-
terist:c is noticed in all the birds,
beasts, fish, reptiles and plants.
Another fact in relation to this
phenomenon is that everything grows
less deeply colored as we approach the
polar regions. There the white bear
is found and nowhere else. while the
black bear lives and is now native to
almost every other climate.

"Hog-killing time" in the Country
is one of the most important seasons OF
the whole year. Hog killingis the single
item of farm work that is generally

but until the crops are all gathered and
housed, the COW stables and other rag
ged outbuildings patched up" and put
in order, the potatoes, turnips, cab
bages. ETC., kilned, the apples gathered
and stored away and huge piles Of
wood provided for the proverbial ''log
fires. And then butchering begins,
not unlike long, carefully planned in
surrection. No one knows just why,
says the Richmond Dispatch, but the
wholesale ''cutthroat," "bloodshed'
business begins about one hour before
day-dawn. and he who happens to be
out SO early in the morning sees little
else than outdoor fires dotted over the
neighborhood and hears little else than
the deafening squeals of dying

fat hogs have been butchered in King
