Asthma Sufferers Should Know This.

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were con.
sidered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph Bues-
ing. 701 West Third St., Davenport,
Iowa, writes: "A severe cold con-
tracted twelve years ago was neglect
ed until it finally grew into asthma.
The best medical skill available could
not give me more than temporary re-
lief. Foley's Honey and Tar was rec.
commended and one fifty cent bottle
entirely cured me of asthma, which
had been growing on me for twelve
years, and if l had taken it at the
start would have been saved years
of suffering" Sold by. Wilson & Nc

TRAPPERS PROSPEROUS TIMES
Furs Worth MGe Now Than for Past 81

tiers in the wilds OF the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their traps

or two ago they were as high as $500 apiece.
Last winter s4.5O was considered n good

highest paid for sin gle pelt Of tn kind.
Now choice raw mink fur will bring sl1. and

which is away above any price paid for moro
than thirty years. Quite few fisher are
caught through northern Minnesota. and
these are worth from IS to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this State. They arc worth
from 81 to 50 each
The higher pricPs paid for furs will also
prove a boon to the Minnesota Indians, or
such of them at least as have any business
ability. A good many Of the Indians trap
during the wintei. but the trouble with the
majority of them is that they do not know
the valle of their catch. and are likely to sell
a S22 otter pet for 81 or S., and s11 mink
pet for dollar. or perhaps pint of whiskey

some agents make it their business ring

Indians. selling them later at handsome
margin of profit.

Even the little weasel scores of which daily

Brilliant Col orei Feathers.
From The London Daily Mail.

From the London DdhV HdH'
Fk,unting plumage of most vivid cobrings
decks the winter hats Of the woman of fashion,
and. curiously enough. not even the most
brilliant feathers are left as nature colored
them. They are dyed even more brilliantly
to suit the millinery freak Of the moment.
Paoock tail plumage is used in its metallic
blue-yreen shade, while the tail feathers OF
the same bird are dyed rich brick red.
london milllner yesterday tempted
her customers with purple hat of the Gains
borough type, which was one glorious mass
Of that n1aEnfoent color known as epinence.
The Tea theirs on the hat repeated the dye,
single ostrich feather perched upright,
with the tip dropping over diamond diadem,
is n form Of adornIuent that Is very eXtraor-
dinary. but truly piquant when worn by a
handsome woman n her hair as the re eo.ttGpe tGp

though one has the merchants word for III
hut the coat worn by the right woman
would appear exceedingly handsome and
chic.
Then there is the squirrel, which in its gray
nhsse IA out of fashion, but which has with
the assistance Of the dyers taken on a beau
tiful glossy brown. One can buy warm
practical box coat Of this fur for from $loo
to $50 and holero for SIS. The fur Is not
elegant, perhaps but many women prefer
it to a cheap Persian lamb.
Many OF the little irKrriers will make an
attractive black oaraoul coat for $3.50 or
less. though the swell farriers will not con-
slider such price.
Automobile furs have changed little since
last season, and the fur lined coat with fur
collar is still a favorite foT cold weather mo-
toring. These coats ma,E be used for more
purposes than the ordinary automobile coat
of inexpensiye fur OF SKINS and the manu-
fecturers have turned them out in such
CHEAP form that they are within the reach
of any one likely to need a coat for motoring
or driving. Handsome coats OF the kind,
lined with good fur, made of good cloth and
adorned by collars of costly fur still COM
mand high prices.
Fur trimming on coats and gowns Is not
extensively employed, though little boleros
en- suite, with frocks, are numerous, and
sometimes if the fur used is very
supple one, like baby lamb, it is used in
trimming the frock as well as for the coat
One sees occasionally velvet costume
whose coat has a collar Of ermine, chinchilla
or sable: but collarees neck finish and sepa-
rate neck furs are still the general rule.
A straight standing collar or high turn
down collar of l'Aiglon style is often a fea-
ture of coat in short hair iur, cioth or vel
vet; but separate furs are rather cumber-
some over any kind of collar, and the fash
ionable woman must have her various neck
| furs and muffs.
A velvet gown fur trimmed, which is re-
produced in one Of the sketches, was an
especially pretty example Of the possibili-
ties in velvet and fur, without extrava-
eance in the quantity of fur used. Imagine
a velvet of deep dull gold color, with bor-
! dering of dark brown fur and jabut and un-
dersleeves of beautiful creamy old lace, and
YOU have the picture-a charming one.
