LEIPSIC'S IMPORTANCE.
Principal Fur Trade Center for, the En-
 tire World.

Nearly the whole of the commence in furs Is concentrated about the two cities of London and Leipsic, but, nevertheless, the importance of these two centers of industry is far from being equal. Two-thirds of the furs sold by auction in London go to Leip- sic, and it is the latter city which Is the principal center of the fur trade for the whole world, says the London Globe. The warehouses of Leipsic receive raw and made-up furs from Siberia, European Russia, America, Australia and China. The model factories in which the furs are dyed and dressed are situated in the suburbs of the town. The system of selling by auction which prevails in London permits dealers to de- termlne exactly the quality of goods which are requisite for wholesale transactions. This is not the case in Leipsic, where the amount of business done in this line is variously estimated at from 60 to 70 millions of marks per annum.
 The principal article of commerce in Leipsic is raw astrakhan, which comes from Bokhara, and is chiefly bought at the fair of Nijni-Novgorod; :; of this, close on to 1,00O,00O skins, each worth from four to 6A rubles, are imported annually. If we add to these figures the price of dressing and dyeing, and the merchants profits, we obtain total of 12 to 15 million marks. After having been dyed the astrakhan is sold in Ger many, France, England and partly in the United States, although the Americans generally prefer to buy it in its raw state, as they do in the case of all other furs. The second rank in trade may be given to sables. Nearly 5O,00O are imported yearly, the prices varying from eight rubles to 100 or 200 rubles and upward, but the dearer skins are in the minority. Oflate years the sables are sent chiefly to England. France and America.
 White foxskins take the third place, numbering 25,oOo to 3O,ooo skins annually. These are dyed in Leipsic, after which they arc sold in France, England and the United States. Every year about 1,000,000 lambskins from Kassimoff, which are

 "Mr. Gould has much faith in the future of Arkansas, with its wealth of timber and mineral resources, and its fertile soil, and he expects to sec a steady development of that section looks for the swamp lands to be drained, the country to be more fully occupied by incoming settlers, the great natural resources of the state to be developed and the whole coun- try to be built up and its prosperity greatly increased Much interest was expressed by him in the better ments of his roads, and he particu- larly dwelt on the work being done on the line from Little Rock, south, through Pine Bluff, where a 1 per cent grade has been secured through cutting, filling and raising the track etc"

A MISER'S EXPERIENCE.
An Attempt at Economy That Turned Out Somewhat Disastrously.

There is much amusement in Dres- den parliamentary circles, says the London Express, over little joke which was played on one of the old est members. The gentleman in question, although somewhat miser- ly, is very popular. Recently he in jured his finger, and, not caring to consult his own doctor, sought the advice of a brother member, an Nj. D., who told him what to do. On the fol- lowing day, however, the old gen. tleman received bill for ten shil- lings from the doctor for medical at tendance. In his perplexity he con- fded in another colleague, a lawyer this time, who pointed out his lia- bility and advised him to pay tha bill.
 The aged members astonishmen, can best be imagined when he re- ceived later the lawyers claim for ten shillings for ''advice given" He indignantly complained to a third member of this unbrotherly treat ment, but this third gentleman, en- tering into the joke, brought the matter before the committee which decides personal differences of the members. Here the case turned against the accuser, and he was im- peached for ''refusing to acknowl- edge justified claims" and gravely sentenced to-buy a case of cham pagne- The expensive finger is now quite well.
