The thought behind the gift enhances
it's value, and no one, from king to

Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China
was sold into slavery at the age Of
eleven, to save her family from star

feet were never bound, and she was

We cannot all afford such quantity

gladness can lie within the circle of a
sixpense given by genuine sympathy.
The Jews at their feasts leave a place

Elijah, in the hope that he may honor
them when he again visits the earth,

Barrels or Boxes for Apples.

Would not consumption be doubled
II apples were put up in small pack
ages like other fruits so the consumer
could get them in the original pack
age? If the advance in the price of
barrels is due, as many think it is,
to pool or trust, "and l will say
there are reasons for this belief" and
there is plenty of timber, the remedy
lies in the apple-growers of the coun-
try through the National Apple Grow
ers' Congress or some organization to
put machinery in operation cutting it
inlc cooperage. We are not assum-
ing th:t there is any trust, but we
notice each recurring year that bar
rels can be lad if we pay the ad-
vance in price. 1t is a question, how
ever, If we could secure barrels at
rs cents each again, whether it is the
package we should use. We are of
the opinion that the extended dis
tribution in a retail way necessary
for the consumption of our large ap-
pie crops cannot be reached by the
use of the barrel. 1t may be said that
for storage and export trade we will
have to use barrels. If only barrels
are used for this it would relieve the
barrel situation that much. Still would
not a case holding half barrel once
in use be more satisfactory for stor-
age and export?-G. T. Tippin.

creased 80 to so per cent during the
past few years. Formerly the seal
was to be found as far southwark
along the Pacific coast as California
but now is concentrated in the vicin
ity of Alaska. The fur of the seal is
nearl y black in tone, varying to gray
upon the shoulders and reddish brown

than the male and the young of both
sexes are glossy black.
Squirrel fur is used extensively for
sets, toques, Innings and trimmings
the gray and white striped variety
known as lock squirrel being utilized
for lining purposes. The blush gray
skin is the most valuable and the
variety known as Siberian squirrel
has enjoyed considerable vogue dur
ing the past few years. Squirrels are
found in various sections of the
United States and Canada, in Mexico
and Guatemala as well as in Europe
and Siberia, and at present Germany

certain islets and reefs in Alaska

by the natives of the islands where
the otter abounds to cultivate the ami

many jet black spots on the breast,

i: is found. An ordinary skin is esti-
mated to be worth from $25 to 500,
while $500 is the value that has been
set upon one of the finest skins. In
order to obtain these much priced
skins the sable hunters are forced to
undergo terrible privations and many
lose their lives in the snow covered
wastes in which the sable loves to
roam.
The home of the sable or marten
covers most extensive territory, in
Guiding Kamschatka as we'll as Ash
attic Russia and also the northern con-
fines of Canada and the forests of Lab
rador. The American sable or river
marten is about the size of a large
house cat, though standing much low
err on account of the shOrtness of the
legs. The length of the head and
body is about a foot and a half and
the tail is very full and bushy. The
home of the pine marten is under
ground or among rocks, though by
preference it seeks the hollow of a
tree, frequently dispossessing squir-
rel from it's burrow by driving off or
devouring the rightful occupant. The
fur Of the American sable is gray
spotted with black, and, while it is
highly valued, it is much less costly
than the rich fur of the Russian sable.
The fur of the Arctic fox is worn ex-
tensively in winter, particularly by
the debutante and the schoolgirl.
This is one of the most beautiful and
at the same time the smallest of the
foxes, the pelt being silky and a blu
ish or brownish gray in summer and
pure white in winter. The tail is
very full and bushy and the fur COW
e-ing of the animal extends even to
the soles of the feet The Arctic fox
is found in Labrador and Newfound-
land and throughout the Arctic re-
gjons of North America and also in
