Queer Use Of Common Phrase.

One of the most famous criminals the
old Tombs Prison in New York held in
many years had just been placed in
his cell. His name is a familiar one

street scandal. The delinquent in this
case has always been friendly with the
newspaper men and when he was ar
rested several reporters who had known
him hastened to the Tombs, confident
of obtaining an interview. He refused
to be seen and his message to them,
which is tradition of the Tombs, was
eminently characteristic: Tell them, !"

Counterfeiting Furs.

The natural result of the enormous
prices of furs has been the counter
feiting of valuable skins by dyeing
and otherwise manipulating such
cheap pelts as rabbit, muskrat, goat,
etc. Some of the commoner forms
of imitation are as follows: Muskrat,
or nutria Ga South American rodent,
the coypU, dyed and sold as seal;
rabbit dyed and sold as seal; white
rabbit sold as erInine; fitch (small
animal belonging to the weasel FAM
ily), dyed and sold as sable; mink,
sold as sable; goat, dyed and sold as
bear.
In Great Britain this fraud is pun
ishable under the false trade descrip-
tions'' act, but it is said to be largely
practiced nevertheless.-New York
