SUPPRESS Of Fya T7A2-.

1t will astonish most of our read
ers, writes Agnes Laut in the
Worlds Work, to be told that on
the American side Of the Canada
line the volume of the fur trade is
the largest ever known in the
United States-greater than in the
days when the buffalo and beaver
had the whole continent as a stamp
ing ground.
Buffalo as a fur yielder has been
exterminated. Beaver in the most
Of the states is practically extinct.
Sea otter, from yielding 100000
pelts a year, now give at the most
only 400, at the least 200, for the
trade; and the fur seal is on the
way to determination, falling from
100000 a year to 10000 and $4,000
But other furs have taken theil
place. There is more money going
to trappers to-day for skunk anc
muskrat and fox than was ever
made out of beaver and sea ottel
and seal and the rare furs. Tht
swamps of New jersey and Della
ware alone yield millions of musk
rats a year.

THE CIVILIZED SAVAGE.

In the older days, when Indian

counts were printed Of the savagery
of Apaches and Sioux. Yet it is
doubtful if in most essential re-
spects the red men themselves we're
worse sayages than some of the
predatory, sneaking, british beings
often to be found in and about great
cities. Despite all the boasts which
are uttered and printed about it,
the fact remains that what we call
civilization breeds many individuals
who are not the less dangerous bar
barians because they wear custom
airy apparel, are familiar with rail-
roads and trolley cars and are usual

BRowNlNe's TRUE POSITION.

Some time ago the Bookman pub
lished a most adverse criticism of
Robert Browning in which the wan
ing popularity of the poet was dis
cussed and the writer gave the dy-
ing out of the Browning clubs as a
proof of his argument. A group of
women were talking the article over
and d~eploring its severity when one
Of their number, a lovely 18-year-
old girl who has an intellect that
scars away above and beyond her
pompadour, made this critical re-
sumo:
"'The idea Of the Browning clubs
dying out should be a sign of the
popularity Of the real Browning. II
seems a Dissertation for a lot of club
women to squabble over the inter.
probation Of Browning. Any great
poem should be a message from one
soul to another, and it should NEAR
just as much to the receptive sou
as it is capable Of approaching
through its own experience"

Miners in Early Days in Mentans
Were Willing TO Pay High
for Vegetables.

Ray Woodworth of Moscow
Idaho, was one of the early arrivals
at Bannack, when the placer gold
was discovered in Grasshopper
gulch, and also moved near Vir-
ginia City and resided there when
that famous placer field was in its
glory.
Mr.. Woodwork SAYS that he came
to Bannack from Denver in 1863,
and took up a ranch near what is
now known as Taylor crossing, be-
tween Dillon and Bannack,
He brought a lot Of garden seed
along with him, believing that gar
den vegetables would be a delicacy
so crayed by the miners that they
would pay handsomely for them and
that he would make more money
with his spade and garden rake than
with the rocker and pan.
He succeeded very well near Ban
mack, and when there was a rush TO
Alder guleh, he went there and took
up a ranch in the Madison valley,
not far from Virginia City, where
he continued raising vegetables and
selling them to the miners.
He raised the first wheat crop
ever raised in the territory Of Mon
tana, and sold his wheat for 2S
cents a pound.
g" lost So, 900 on one load Of
rutabagas, and it was this way" he
said: 81 hired a freighter to haul
a big load to Helena, paying hin
four cents a pound, and told hin
to sell them for nine cents a pound
thinking that was high enough fol
them.
"a few days after he left The
ranch l heard that the vegetables
were retailing at so cents a pound
and l sent a courier after him to tel
him not to sell for less, but the mes
senger arrived at Helena a few
hours after he had sold the load TO,
nine cents a pound. The dealer re
tailed them at 60 cents.

HAND-wovEN REVIVAL.

Within the last few years there
has been a great revival Of old-fash-
toned, handmade weavings; in fact,
the demand for all kinds of hand
made products is continually on the
increase. This demand brought
about the revival Of the rag carpets
of our grandmothers, resulting in
the making Of hand-woven rugs that
are beautiful in texture and artistic
in color.
The modern hand-woyen rugs,
says Interior Decoration, are quite
an improvement on the old-fash-
ioned rag carpet, as only new mate
rial is used in their making; there
fore they are much more durable
and instead of being put together il
a haphazard manner they are wOver
