NEW fuRs FROM RUSSIA.

skins of Ponies and Calves for Use by
Automobiles.
Russia is sending us a couple of
very novel pelts, the skins of ponies
and of calves for making motor.car
dresses and coats, and the Russian
blouses wealthy women are wearing so
much this winter.
The skins of the ponies are not very
large, and are forwarded, mane and
all, to the furriers, but SO far the
names have not been made useful.
Perhaps the toy trade will eventually
profit by them, and the fiery nursery
steeds Of the rocking-horse and Gray
Dobbin persuasion be equipped with
the long silky hair of these creatures.
Any one who has travelled in Rus
STA will know the pale, tawny shade Of
the native pony, almost lion-like in
color. 1t is also the commonly met
hue Of the little Scandinavian horses
driven in Norway almost exclusively,
and much seen, too, in Sweden and
Finland. The skin dyes brown and a
lovely Jet black most successfully, and
is SO strong that it is uncommonly
suitable for rough-wear wraps.
Nor is it outrageously expensive. A
Russian blouse made of it M to 81
guineas. Motorists in the feminine
world are wearing enormous coats
still, but newer than these are short,
jannty fur skirts and pouched boleros
to match.
Russian pony suits are certain to
please them, and fur caps of the pelt
are sent out with the toilette, SO that
the whole picture is complete.
The Russian calf makes very pretty
snow-white coats, tufted with black.
and charming reveres, cuffs, ties and
muff for cloth ~redingotes, To some
eyes this pelt will resemble miniver.
but there is a huge monetary differ
ence between it and ermine, as well as
a visible one, especially as miniver-
which is really ermine tufted with
black tips of the tails only instead Of
the tails themselves daily going up
in price, in view of the coronation and
its requirements.

in QUIET OLD CONCORD
Ancient Town Around Which Cluster Memories
That Are Immortal.
Especial Letter.l

Alcott was a great admirer OF En-
erson and spent many hours in his
company, for Emerson was just the
person to appreciate what was of
worth in the unworldly and peculiar
Alcott.
Hawthorne recorded in his note book
that in August, 1912, while returning
through the woods from Mr.. Emerson's
house to the old manse he encountered
Margaret Fuller reading under a tree
in SLEEPY Hollow'-the little park,
that has since become a cemetery, in
which Hawthorne himself is buried.
AS they sat talking on the hillside
not far from his future grave, 1--WE
heard" he says, footsteps IN the high
bank above us, and while the person
was still hidden among the trees he
called to Margaret.
Then he emerged from his green
shade, and, behold! 1t was Mr.. En-
erson, who said: There were muses.
in the woods to-day, and whispers to
be heard in the breezes.' 1t being now
nearly 6 o'clock we separated. Mr.. EN-
erson and Margaret toward his home
and l toward mine"
AS the evening comes on n sees
these men and women in the shadows,
sitting within their old homes. They
become the real persons of the town
and the folks from the village fade
from view. The past is here again and
the old, quiet voices fill the evening
air. The tall form of Emerson is al
most seen turning past that elm on
the corner, his slow walk marking the
meditation of his mind.

n n OST people think catarrh is a
Nj disease confined to the head and
- nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be chat the nose and
throat is the ~oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is so it is so only because
these parts are more exposed to the
vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.

over forty-five years has been men,
Der of the Methodist church. His first
meeting with Moody took place at In
dianapolis, when the latter was just be-
ginning to make name as preacher.
1t was at this time that they formed
the partnership which was so produc-
tive of fame for both of them.
Sankey attended one Of the meetings
at which Mr.. Moody spoke and was
asked by the pastor of the church to
lead the singing. He sang hymn with
great feeling. After the services Moody
sought him out and said: "You must
come with me. You can do the singing,
and I'll do the talking" And so the
compact was made.

they have been regarded by the others
as traitors and have been given to un-
derstand by reason of boycotts and
midnight raids that they need lesson
in patriotism.
Despite the activities of the police
signal fires on the hills, the blowing of
horns and Changing of church bells are
summoning the people of the district
together for secret meetings. Already
the law is declared powerless. A few
days ago an officer achieved the idea of
serving writs on some of the tenants
while the men folk were away at fair.
Although he was accompanied by six
policemen, the women collected and by
means of sticks and stones made it hot
for the invaders, who finally had to get
out.
With all this preliminary trouble one
when 1000 families comprising some
10000 persons are turned out in a
bunch. Conor O'Kelly, good looking
young Irish member of parliament, who,
with four other members of the United
league, was sent to Castelar, in De-
cember for making speech which the
government thought unlawful, is now
at liberty. Speaking of the trouble at
De Freyne, he said, IF bloodshed
should result from throwing 10000 peo-
pie out on the roadside, there will be
an outbreak in Ireland that will have
serious consequences for the govern
ment of the country"
John Dillon, chairman of the Irish
Nationalist party in the house of COM
mons, also foresees serious trouble.
But whatever happens he is sure to be
in the thick of it. Mr.. Dillon, who, it
will be recalled, was recently suspend
ed for a breach of parliamentary rules
in applying the epithet "blank liar" to
Joseph Chamberlain, knows how it
feels to receive punishment. He was
the first of the Parnellites to suffer in
the famous suspension Of 1881.
Mr.. Dillon, by the way, is not rude,
unlettered apostle of revolution. He
belongs indeed to eminently fashiona-
BILE society. He married the daughter
of judge, though he himself has slept
in a prison cell. He was educated at a
university and is member of the Irish
Royal College of Surgeons. Mr.. Dillon
is about fifty years old.
One reason the coming conflict bids
fair to be memorable is that for the
first time since Parnell's downfall there
is a united Irish party in parliament
and with the keen joy of fight to look
forward to there is no sign that it will
fall apart.
