GOOD LUCK IN GETTING MAD.

The fur salesman was holding up on
his arm very handsome specimen of
what appeared to be Russian sable.
you wouldn't think he said, that
that color was indirectly due to loss
of temper, would you?"
| II don't know that the Russian sable
had a bad temper" responded the GUS
TONER.
Your knowledge is not always to be
relied on" laughed the salesman.
"This is not a Russian sable skin. 1t Is
red fox, and thereby, so to speak,
hangs a tale.
The customer asked that it be UNI
folded.
I'm New York city" responded the
salesman, elves a furrier, who, know
ing a good deal about the dyeing of
seal skins and other furs, sought for
years and years to find dye that
would transform a red fox skin into
Russian sable, as far as appearance
went All his efforts were nusatory
and void, as the lawyers say but he
would not give up the search. One day,
less than two years ago, he was busy
over his dye pots seeking the elusive
alchemy. He thought this time he had
it sure, but he was disappointed once
mohe, and | am sorry to say, he lost his
temper and acted in most unseemly
manner He held in his hand bottle
with chemical of some kind in 1t that
he had intended using in some other
dyes that he did know about and in his
violence he knocked the bottle against
a box and broke it's neck, This made
him madder than ever, and with bad
word he hurled the broken bottle and
it's remaining contents into the disap-
pointing dye pot. Then he left the
place. and when he came back, much
cooler in mind, behold, there was that
in the dye pot which caused his spec
ial wonder and he began an immediate
investigation Just what effect the
chemical or the broken bottle had on
the dye he could not tell, but a very
apparent change had been effected and
he fastened to try strip of fur in it,
When the fur was taken out it was no
longer red fox. Neither was it quite
Russian sable, but it was on the way,
and after little experimenting with
the unexpected chemical he hit upon
the right thing and the secret was his.
To-day he is converting red fox skins
into Russian sable for 1900 firms in all
parts of the world, and 1t is needless to
say he is not getting poor at 1t. Rus
sian sable is beautiful and expensive
fur, but this imitation is quite as effec-
tive, for three or four years, as the
genuine thing, and doesn't cost any
thing like as much. Cheaper furs that
look as we'll while they last, as eXpen-
sive ones, are most satisfactory any
way to the mojority of purchasers, be-
cause styles change and people want
sotmething new once in a while if they
can afford it"-Washingto Star

Accidents rarely occur however, and
so expert do the workmen become that
thousands of eggs will pass through

membership of one hundred and forty
five, and bids fair to embrace every in

men command fair wages and the Or
ganization is said to be an advantage
to the merchants many of whom do
not keep more than one inspector
steadily engaged but who, when large
assignments are received, require the
service of extra help, which can be
readily furnished by the business agent
of the union, who is generally to be
found in the neighborhood looking after
the interests of his constituents.
AT present the merchants and the
members of the union are on the best
of terms, but should a misunderstand-
ing arise in the future dire indeed will
be the calamity that will fall on strike
