The Strangcst Sight.

What is the strangest sight I ever
saw? A sand-hill crane dance on the
shore of the Indian River in Florida.
There were ten birds of the average
size and one overgrown fellow. The
latter acted as master of ceremonies.
In fact, he led the dance, even as
'Lish Dyer leads in New York. Eight
formed into a square, making four
couples, and all the figures Of the
quadrille were presented. They went
forward and back, swung partners,
crossed over, "chased" in superb
style, bowed to partners, right-and-
lefted to places, and, indeed, went
through the entire performance in
weird aud ghostlike manner. Once
in awhile the two odd chaps would slip
into the centre and execute flourish,
which the master of ceremonies sud-
denly terminated with a vicious flap
of the wings, driving the intruders
back to their places as wall flowers.
Could anything funnier be imagined?
The sand-hill crane is four feet long,
with wing-spread of seventy or
seventy-twO inches. It's legs are
like pipe stems, three feet II length,
and loosely joirted about the middle.
1t was a dance never to be forgotten,
and was worth going all the way to
Florida to see. The birds wore uni
forms OF leaden- gray. - New York

Experiments in surface burial have
been made by Mr.. F. Seymour Haden,
the pioneer burial reformer, at his
estate at Alresford, Hants, the results
of which he communicates to the
Times. Laying the body OF calf,
pig or dog on the ground, he "covers
it in every direction with single foot
of earth," and finds at the end of a
year that only the bones remain.
The whole process is without effect on
the purity of the earth beneath, or the
sweetness of the air around. Deep
burial, he demonstrates, retards the
complete resolution of the animal
tissue. He has found that bodies
buried two feet deep take two years to
disappear, while at three feet they
take three years and so on. He in
vites those Interested to make the
pilgrimage to his experimental burial
ground.

FACTS ABOUT FURS.
Skin of the Ordinary House Cat Is Known
as Roof Sable"

Fur garments in this country are
lower in price and better in quality
than abroad, and their finish, as well
as style. is faultless.
Fine furs, such as foxes, chinchil-
las, sables. ermine and sea otter, are
brought to this country free of duty,
so that even if these furs are purchased
abroad no duty is saved. These furs
are dressed and prepared by Ameri-
can workmen in SO superior q manner
that European furriers intrust their
curing to American firms.
Seal garments are cheaper to-day
than for long time, Notwithstanding
the scarcity of seals.
Sables of all descriptions and from
all countries will form an important
part of the fur business during the
present season, and q little common
sense, practical information on this,
the noblest of furs, will not come
amiss.
Sables lead for fashionable fur trade.
All is not sable that is so called. Sa-
bles from 50 to $3.50 apiece are entitled
to that name.
Japanese sable is of greenish gray
color and has bright yellow throat.
It is worth about $3.50. The next
in price, Hudson Bay sables, are light
brown in color and have pinkish
brown throat. According to color
and lustre they range in price from
go. so to $50, and more for silvery
specimens.
The skin of the Persian lamb is
dyed in this country as lustrously
and well as abroad, and garments of it
are purchased cheaper in this country
than anywhere else in the world.
Persian lamb for garment purposes
began to find popularity with the ap-
pearance of electric seal, or brown
dyed rabbit fur, from which the hair
had been eliminated by machinery
It takes good furrier to tell at Il
