FOX CULTURE
AS A BUSINESS
A DOZEN VENTURESOIE AMERI-
CANS WHO ARE RAISING BLUE
FOXES las A VOCATION.

The success of the Alaskan CONNER
cial Company in raising blue foxes in
the Aleutian Islands has attracted
nearly a dozen venturesome Ameri-
cans, who have engaged in the same
business. Though having little labor to
perform, these men live in complete
storm-swept isolation while waiting for
their herds to multiply.
Chris Willer, who has just reached
Tacoma from Kodiak, says that fox
raisers consider three things necessary
to get successfully started. They first
lease one of the Aleutian Islands from
the Federal Commissioner at Kodiak,
paying yearly rental of 81. Next they
purchase their breeding foxes from the
Alaska Commercial Company at $40 a
pair; thirdly, they usually proceed to
one of the Indian camps and purchase
themselves a squaw wife, paying from
$25 to $40, according to the beauty and
age.
Olaf Bjornsen, who started six years
ago with twenty foxes, now has 800.
He declares he will not sell until he can
realize $4,000, when he will make a
cleanup and return to his Eastern
home. Foxes live dried salmon aRd
thrive on it like Alaskan dogs

A NATURAL
BAROMETER
CLAIM THAT SKIN OF THE RAT
TLESNAKE FURNISHES FORE
CAST OF RAIN AND SUNSHINE.

1T is going to rain within six hours"
said the man with provoking delibera-
ton. The sun was shining brightly and
only a few floating clouds broke the
clear blue of the broad sky. RAIN"
said the other, derisively, land out of
that sky? You're a pessimist. You al

IN bet you good dinner that it
will rain within six hours" the first
speaker replied with imperturbable
good nature and gravity. The bet was
made and the dinner was paid for by
the man who doubted. 1t rained in
less than four hours.
"Now, if you will come around to
my rooms 1 will show you how l knew
it was going to rain" said the prophet
who was with honor in his own coGn-
try. So there they went. Now, says
the New York Tribune, in telling the
story, the prophet was an original sort
| of chap, and had fastened upon the
walls of his room many strange things
/ of the sea and forest and field. on
| the floor were flung skins of bear and
deer and mountain lion, and on the
wall near a window, stretched from the
top of the high wainscoting to within
| half foot of the floor was the grew
some skin of a giant diamond black
rattlesnake. The prophet pointed to
it and said: There's my secret"
The skin was dripping wet. The
sweat so to speak, stood out upon its
scaly back in huge drops, which would
swell and swell and silently run to-
gether in little streamets, which ir
turn would rush down in an avalanche
of other drops and reach the floor in q
splash like a great tear. Everything
else in the room was as dry as the
humid atmosphere of a city after q
thunder storm would allow.

prophet. Il killed the snake myself il

THEY WILL REMAIN.

Swallowed by the bump of intelli-
gence in the goth century man

preserved simply because they
are old. Whatsoever is no longer
useful must get out of the way.
Nevertheless, progress that is
not intelligent will not be per-
manent. We shall continue to
breathe air, drink water and eat
bread. There will be no "im-
provement" on the great essen
tials Of living, and we do not
want any. Babies will come into
the world as they have from the
beginning, and people will die
out of it as they have done since
the world began. Let us not run
away with the idea that all Of
our treasured opinions are to be
upset. Through every change,
all standard articles which, like

CABLES OF PROTEST
CONTINUED from page one.)

W. o. Smith for some suggestion in
regard to what should be forwarded to
Washington in regard to the land mat
ter. Mr.. cad had stated that he would
draw up something in the form of a
memorial or protest on the subject, as
Mr.. Smith was absent in Hilo. Mr.
Mead had not sent the matter in how
ever.
President Cooke communicated at
this point with Mr.. Mead, and then
announced that Mr. Mead said that the
drafting of such a memorial required
some study and he was not quite ready
with the matter.
j. p. Cooke said that it seemed to
him that the Senatorial Commission
had put the cart before the horse. 1t
had recommended that the forestry and
land conditions should be investigated
and that the United States land laws
should be placed in operation immedi-
ately. The speaker said that he favor
ed a commission being sent here to in
vestigate the conditions in these ISL
ands before any such action as was rec
commended Was taken He favored try
ing to have action postponed at Wash
ington until the Hawaiian people could
be heard from.

you desire, a Senatorial Commission

STRONG CHINESE MEDICINES.

SIlkONG CI1lN bSE MEDlClN Els.
81 have always heard that Chinese
had very strong medicines" said the
city salesman to a reporter of the Phi
ladelphia Public Ledger, but l never
had any idea what a tremendous effect
that were capable of producing on the
system till l saw a Chinese take a pill
the other day, and then | realized that
one dose of a Celestial compound can
safely be warranted to kill or cure.
Never in my born days did | see such a
Pill. How on earth the fellow ever got
it down is a mystery. 1t was fully as
big as a pigeons egg, and, so the pa
tent told me afterward, fearfully bitter
Upon inquiry 7 found that that was a
fair sample of most Chinese remedies.
No matter what the nature of the med
cine it is generally made up into enor-
nous pills, whose naturally bad taste Is
modified by nothing but a little licorice.
These pills are inclosed in wax capsules
which preserve them from the air and
keep them from being broken to pieces
before their time.
aside from the pills, the only reme-
dies used by orthodox Chinese in Phi
ladelphia are a medicinal OIL which
they rub on the temples to cure head
ache, and a liquid made by boiling
down the leaves stems, seeds and roots
of certain plants in a quantity of drink
ing water. According to my authority
this fluid medicine is even worse than
the pills, for 1t has to be cooked till
il is almost like syrup and drunk scald-
ing hot"

THE LINE STORES
OF THE BOUNDARY
BUILT EXACTLY ON THE BOUN-
DAIRY LINE BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

What are called line stores, which
in many cases are so designated by
large siSnboards are a well-known in
stitution along the boundary between
Canada and Maine, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. The governments of both
Canada and the United States look
with suspicious eyes upon these stores,
and there has been more or less talk of
Joint action to prevent the erection of
any buildings upon the boundary line
The line stores on the Quebec bor-
der are usually built exactly on the
boundary line, and are double stores.
The boundary line is marked by iron
posts, and sometimes a store is built
over one of these posts, which pro-
trudes from the middle of the floor.
There is a little door on each side of
the line, with which line the shelves
and counters run parallel and thus
there is a Canadian store and an Am
erican store, each with its own en-
trance. On the Canadian side are
Canadian goods, such as wooiens
blankets, dress goods, ready-made, fur
coats and robes, carpeung, buttons,
sugar and some lines of hardware. on
| the American side are cotton goods,
| prints, Yankee notions tobacco, jewel
! ry, kerosene oil, etc, and on this side
| farm produce is taken in exchange.
are kept each on their own side, and
no attempt is made Ito conceal the fact
| that both are there. The Canadian
| customer can go in at the Canadian
! door, purchase Canadian goods on the
! Canadian side and go out again with
! out having crossed the boundary line
at all, and the American customer can
! do the same on his side; but, while the
storekeepers keep the two classes of
l.
customers any questions and they can
! buy at either counter and make their
exit by either door.
Stores of this kind are chiefly found
on the line between the province OF
Quebec and the States of Vermont and
New Hampshire, and the northwestern
part of Maine, but they are not UNI
| known on the line that divides North
eastern Maine from New Brunswick
They are always a mile, generally sew
eral miles, from custom-house sta
ton.
In some places there are two stores
separated by but a few feet and con-
nected by a board walk, by which
goods can easily be transported from
one building to the other. 1t Is very
convenient arrangement for people who
don't mind lodging the customs laws
. a provincial man can step across the
floor to the Maine side and buy some
tobacco, and Maine man can move
across to the New Brunswick side anC
get some liquor, all under the same
roof. Farm produce can be changed
from Canadian to United States pro-
duce in short order. a manufacturer
can get raw material from both sides
Canadian produce can be exchanged fol
i, Yankee jewelry or notions, Canadian
woolens into American cottons, and Sc
on.
OF course, 1t is not admitted that tht
line houses were built for smuggling
. purposes-but they are there, right OF
, the line, and it would be a great relic
to the two governments if they wer,
, not there.
