GOOD TIMES FOR HAMPERS.
F>urs Worth More Now Than For Past
 Thirty-three Years.

F>urs Worth More Now Than For Past
 Thirty-three Years.
 The many trappers operating in northern Minnesota will reap a rich harvest the present winter, meaning many comforts, even luxuries, in the log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers in the wilds of tue northern country who are mainly dependent upon their traps during the cold months for a livelihood, says the Duluth Herald
 The settlers and professionals in the country directly tributary to Duluth look for the most part to mink, mar ten and otter to make their trapping operations profitable, and the belts of these little animals at present com mand a higher price than at any time during the past thirty-three years, while there has been a decided slump in the prices paid for furs from the black, blue and silver fox, which bring only $50 each now, where year or two ago they were as high as $500 apiece. - ..
 VIII sptCO NdS CUhSluSIGu Il good price for mink pelt, and ii wasn't more than season or two back that $2.50 was the highest paid for q single pelt of this kind. Now a choice raw mink fur will bring S11 and a marten pelt from SIS to S20, where SC or $7 was paid last winter. An otter skin is worth $22 just as it comes from the trapper's hands, which is away above any price paid for more than thirty years. Quite a few fisher are caught through northern Minnesota, and these are worth from $S to $10. Beaver are very scarce in Minnesota. They are worth from S7 to So each.
 The higher prices paid for furs will also prove a boon to the Minnesota h. dians, or such of them at least as have any business ability. A good many of the Indians trap during the winter, but the trouble with the majority of them is that they do not know the val ue of their catch and are likely to sell a twenty-two dollar otter pelt for $4 or $5 and an eleven dollar mink pelt for a dollar or perhaps pint of whisky. The white man is well aware of this fact, and some agents make it their business during the winter to do noth- ing but buy furs of the Indians, sell ing them later at handsome margin of profit. .'-, ~cr P h.
 Even the little weasel, scores of which daily leave their tiny tracks in the snow on the outskirts of the city, are worth $1 each for their belts. They were valueless three years ago, and two years ago were worth 10 cents each. For time last winter the pelts brought 90 cents each. Many black bears are trapped and shot by settlers, Indians and trappers. .Eaz t'r

Forbear.

Forbear, give up a little; take less than belongs to you; endure more than should be put upon you. Make allowance for snother's judgment of the differing in constitution, circum- stances, and interest, we shall often decide differently about the justice and integrity of things; and mutual concessions alone can heal the breaches and bridge over the chasm between us. while quick resentment and stiff maintenance of our position will breed endless dispute and bitter ness.-C.

BIRD AS AIR TESTER.
Curious Experiment Made Tn Upper

Curious Experiment Made Tn Upper
 House of French Legislature.
 An interesting experiment. was re- gently made in order to test a state ment made by General Billet, who complained in the French senate at Paris the other day that the heating ap- paratus generated oxide of carbon. which caused his head to ache. says a special cable dispatch to the Philadel- phia North American.
 The engineer responsible for the heat ing arrangements made an examina- ton of the apparatus and could find no defects. Finally little bird called the 'bengalee." which is said to be most liable of all creatures to aspsyxiation, was suspended in its cage over the seat occupied by the general
 As the bird cheerfully survived the ordeal, it is held that the heating appa- ratus has triumphed over those who at- tackled it.

A City of Towers.

Why not build office towers? The curse of the tenement Is the want of light and air, and the same curse be- longs to modern office buildings, says the Builders Journal An office tower would secure an abundance of light and air. It might consist of a series of rooms arranged one above the other inside the tower. with stairs and lifts in projections at the angles. or four towers. each with a room on every floor. grouped around a stairs and lift block in -he center. These towers could be carried 80 feet high. which is about the height of the eampanile of the new cathedral at Westminster. A city of spires we already know. but e city of odiee towers is a suggestion of what niett ha ~nd nay perhaps be.

OF which a portion Ia devoted to the
discussion of the church and wealth.
The report on this point follows:
I'VE believe the supreme question
before the church today Is to teacn
brother hood as the only true basis or
eligion. With natural wealth open to
the ues Of all men we believe industrial

the church should guard against ali
such alliances with insti utions o.
individuals Of great wealth as can give
color to the charge that the church
is under the domination Of :he rich.
or that her ministry Is silenced re-
garding business methods oppressive
and menacing to personal independ-
ence. Il is our conviction that no gifts

can atone FOR the wrong done against
society by financial or industrial meth
