Fine Furs
Second floor, Chestnut street,

Good turs scarce in the market,
and going higher. Yet we never had
better turs for the money than we offer
now. Early and extensive buying, at
the best sources Of suppl y, were the
means of having our stock and your
buying at these prices.
The last lot of those SIS Persian lamb
jackets is here. Some one suggested we
mark the finest SI25; but we don't do the
fur business that way. Our good fortune is
divided up among you who buy from us; but
it's only fair you should know that the skins
alone in that jacket are worth SIIO
One set of Russian sable--a neck-scarf and mulf,
made of SIN skins, Sag. It's impossible to buy an
ordinary Russian sable skin anywhere under $40 apiece
So the skins in this SET modesty estimated, worth
S42o.
An exquisite Persian lamb coat with Hudson Bay
natural sable collar and revers S25o But you couldn't
duplicate the collar alone for $3.50.
These are only few things we picked
out at random to tell you Of
There are brown fox scarfs for S12, worth $40;
chinchilla mufs at about the of prices-and

Difficult for tho Indian TO Become SELF
Supporting.
How to make the Indian self-sup-
porting is a problem which William l.,
Brown tackles in the Southern Work
man. He would solve the problem by
making the red men race Of goat
herders. He says: "The question OF
self-support for Indians Is difficult
one. The limitations imposed upon
them by the nature Of the country in
which they live and the lack Of an In
herlted habit of work, together with
the pauperizing tendency Of the ration
system, make 1t difficult for them to
progress very rapidly toward self-sup-
port And since a training having this
end in view should be one Of the fac
tors in their education the question is
one in which tho schools should be
particularly interested. 1t has been
suggested that goat culture might Of
fer a solution Of the difficulty in some
localities. The Indians familiarity
with and love for animals makes herd
ing a natural calling for them, and
they can therefore be easily trained in
the care of stock, Then, too, goats can
sustain life where cattle cannot. That
goat culture may be made profitable
there is little doubt, since there APP
pears to be ready market for the
various products. Statistics show that
the importation Of the skins, from
which the chief value Is derived, in
creased 2S per cent in the fiscal year Of
1898 as compared with 1897 Most OF
the goat skins used in this country are
imported. 1t has been estimated that
the market value Of the importation
Of these skins amounts to twenty mil

The North Carolina Station, In con-
nectlon with some of its recent poul-
try experiments, recorded the weight
OF eggs per dozen as well as the num-
ber of eggs produced by pulets and
old hens OF a number OF well-known
breeds and by Pekln ducks during six
months.
Generally speaking, larger eggs were
laid by hens than by pulets Of the
same breed. The eggs laid by the
Pekin ducks (old and young) were
heavier than those laid by any breed
OF hens, weighing 1876 ounces per doz-
on. or the different breeds of hens
tested the largest eggs were laid by
the Light Brahmas, weighing 2S
ounces per dozen. The Black Lang
shan and Barred Plymouth Rock hens
eggs weighed little over 20 ounces
per dozen, while those laid by Single
Comb Brown Leghorns, late hatched
Plymouth Rock, White Wyandotte,
and Buff Cochin hens ranged from 21.7
TO z3.1 ounces per dozen,
or the pullets, the heaviest eggs were
laid by the Black Mlnorcas, weighing
26.5 ounces, the lightest by the Single
Comb Brown Leghorn and Silver
Laced-Wyandottes, weighing 175 and
221 ounces per dozen respectively. The
Barred Plymouth Rock, White Ply
mouth Rock, White Wyandotte, Black
Langshan, and Buff Cochin pullets'
eggs all weighed not far from "a
ounces per dozen. AS will be seen,
the variation in the weight Of the eggs
was considerable Rating the llghtest
