Many "A Slip Fer the Farmer.

Raising wheat is no easy task re-
marked Il farmer. "One year l had
500 acres of as beautiful wheat as ever
lay out of DOORS 1t stood breast high,
and it seemed good for forty bushels
to the acre That meant to me a
profit of $1,000 l had the teams and
harvest hands engaged and expected
to begin cutting on Monday. On Fri
day afternoon there came out OF the
northwest Il greenish gray cloud. Fol
lowing heavy rain, the hail fell. In
ten minutes the wheat was f1attened to
six inches from the ground. We cut a
little of it for hay. The remainder rot
ted on the ground. The mortgage on
the farm was foreclosed, and I hired
out by the day to support my family.
Do you wonder that the wheat farmer
is not boastful of his crop until he has
it in the granary?" -Cutlook.

A Daring Bishop.

A story of the great Bishop Selwyn
of New Zealand is told by Commander
Gambler of the British navy in his
book The bishops missionary yacht,
the Southern Cross, touched a coral
reef when entering the harbor Port Of
France, New Caledonia. 1t became
necessary to examine her bottom, but
the sharks were so numerous and so
daring that nobody would venture into
the water $50 the bishop, who held
that if man showed a bold front to Il
shark he would sheer off, went over
board himself with a long, sharp knife
in his mouth for defense, and, diving
under his vessel, asccrtained the dam
age. He then came on board our ship.
and we arranged to careen the yacht
sufficiently to enable him to nail on
some copper sheets, which he did him
self, again spending a long time in the
water. For some curious reason not a
single shark hove in sight all the time"

Furs Not Always What They Seem


Does the average fur buyer know
that the far eastern mink is simply a
dyed marmot with the black stripes
painted in with a toothbrush? Does
the buyer know that the low priced
black lynx sets are nothing but COM
mon wildcats or Roumanian cats or
in some cases soft Chinese wolf skin?
Does he know that the white ermine
pillow muffs selling for a song are
really weasels, and yellow weasels at
that. since white weasel commands
almost as high a price as it's dear rela-
tive, the ermine? Then the sable lynx
scarfs and muffs that sell for few
dollars are of course nothing but coney
or hare, while the cheaper caracal sets
are simply kid astrakhan, which is
something entirely different from cara
cal-as different indeed as ordinary
Persian is from broadtail. The beau
tiful imitation white fox sets that ap-
pear also are generally mou1on, or in
some cases combed white tibet.-Nu-

The Oldest Tunnel.

The Oldest known tunnel in the world
is that of Siloah, near Jerusalem. It
was used as an aqueduct The famous
inscription, discovered some years ago,
celebrates the first meeting Of the dig

not appear in those days, and so the
event cannot be exactly dated but ii
