Fur-Bearing Animals.

The fur-bearing animals are more consistently hunted than any other, since people depend for d living on their capture. When it is shown that in one year there are brought to the market the fur of 1S0,00O pine martens, 100000 stone-martens, 100000 pole-cats, 100000 ermines, 100000 minx, 55,. GOO otters, and from America alone 150,000 beavers and 100000 chinchillas, it will be seen that their extermination is a question of short time. The sea-otter is now to be found only in the North ern Pacific, on the northern coast of California, and thence along the coast of America and of Asia. To-day fewer than 1000 sea-otter fnrs are sent to the market annu- ally.

QUININE USERS.
Get to Be "Fiends" for Drug Which
 Helps Them Little.

Habitual users of quinine are slaves to it, but derive little bene- fit from it, says the New York Press. Men with malaria eat it by the ounce and still keep the ma laria. The world is full of qui-i nine drunkards, who pour spoon full into the palm of the hand and lick it down without grimace. l have seen them chew cinchona bark as one chews gum. Others, not habituated, must take two grains or ten in a gelatine capsule. Before capsules were invented it was taken in molasses-and the chances are that the molasses eff fected the cure. Too much of it is nearly as bad as too little calomel.
 Great fortunes have been made out of it, however, and it's cultiya- tion i'll Ceylon and Java is said to be successful. There are several pretty romances connected with the discovery of "kina," as the na- tive Indians of Peru called the cinchOna trees from which qui- nine is derived. What do you call it-kwinine, kwe- e-neen, kin-nine, kee-neen or kin-neen? Itis possi- ble that your pronunciation of the word may discover your birth place. What lot of names the drug has had. Quinine, cinchona, countess powder, Jesuits' bark. Cardinal de Lugo's powder, Peru. vian bark, China bark, quina, quinquina, cinchona bark, etc. The world is indebted to Louis XIV. for it's general introduction. In France and Italy physicians who prescribed its use were per secuted. Protestants altogether repudiated it. Robert Talbot, an Englishman, cured the dauphin with it, and Louis Le Grand was induced to buy the secret. He was the only king that ever em- parked in the drug business.

Timber Inspector Under the Ban.

Secretary Hitchcock has under consideration charges filed against Chas. A. M. Schlierholz, a special agent of the general land office, al- leging bribery in connection with violations of timber cutting in Ar kansas and elsewhere. The charges have been investigated by the de- partment, and the report thereupon is adverse to Schlierholz. The ac- cused Is well known in this state, having been prominent in the prose- cution of alleged illegal timber cut ters. For a long time he had his headquarters in Little Rock, though for the most part the prosecution instigated through his investiga- tions were for offenses claimed to have been committed in the White river country, in Independence and other counties. At the time there was much feeling on the part of those who were proceeded against on information furnished by Schlierholz. Some of them occu- pied high positions in the business world.
