 to be pre-eminent, and although the English long excelled in the dressing and dyeing of fur seal skins the latter are now treateI in this country. equally well.
 In no trade in the world are more valued articles handled than in the fur industry. Some of the skins may be intrinsically as precious as the eosEiest gems, and like the latter they never can be out of fashion. A garment cut from ten dollar bills would be less ex- pensive than a similar one made from the skin of silver fox. A few years ago 3 single. silver fox skin was sold for three thousand dollars. In five steel safes in the store of a New York furrier are kept skins which could not be duplicated for five hundred thou sand dollars.
 The responsibility which rests on a designer and cutter of garments in furs is very great, The least misealculation or carelessness may result in the loss of hundreds of dollars in the value of the skins, and on the other hand skilled workman may enhance their value greatly, At first glance it might seem peculiar that the great commercial cen ter for raw furs is in a country where no fud-bearing animals are caught. Twice a year, in February and septem- Der, buyers from all over the world gather in London, and there they have a choice from all parts of the globe Seals captured in Alaska are auctioned off in London, bought in by American merchants and brought t3 New York. Beaver trapped in Canada are sold in London and brought back to line the coats of wealthy Americans
 All this has it's simple explanation. The various governments invite impor- tations of raw furs free of duty, and the cost of mere transportation is a central emporium for the sale and pur- chase of raw furs, the furriers of the world provide themselves with the greatest possible variety of stock from which to choose It must be remem- bered that single pelt of absolute perfection may be the worlds yield for an entire year, and the competition for such furs is always keen.
 wide knowledge and large financial resources are necessary to the success full conduct of fur manufacturing on a large scale. When American buyers at the London sales select their furs, they seldom have a chance to see. the fur side of the pelt, on account of its treat rnent in the raw when it is turned in- side out. For this reason it requires an expert judge of pelts to know the quality of the skins. The skins when bought are shipped in kits, and it is considerably a matter of luck just how a particular shipment turns out. In carrying in stock a supply of the more valuable skins a large amount of capi- tai is tied up. It is nothing unusual, for instance, for single New York firm to invest half a million dollars in Russian sables alone. Norden's Magazine.

tCharley's Aunt" has a witticism for about every line, and the most Of it is pervaded by the fetcaingly drol and good-humored personality of Etienne Girardot, who originated the title role in this country.
 "Charley's Aunt" had the longest run in London of any play ever known to the English stage, The original run comprised oyer 1,500 consecutive per- formanees, and there were revivals aft erward. Its present production was made in New York last spring, and it's popularity was so great that it was greeted nightly by overhowing audi ences for ten weeks.
 The company supporting Etienne Cir ardot in "Charley's Aunt" at the lily perioh next Monday and Tuesday eyen- ings comprises Wilfrid North, Henry Warwick, Sol Aiken, Frank Hollins, George Le Guere, St. Clair Bayfield,, John Norris, Misses Nina Herbert, Paul. line Neff, Muriel McArthur and Lottle Alter.

Strike on Circulation Night.

Ottawa, Kan, May 16.-The mem
bers of the high school graduating
class, loyal to one of its members,
went on a strike last night on the
stage of the opera house here and re-
fused to allow the curtain to be raised
on the graduating exercises until the
superintendent and faculty had issued
a diploma othe member and had al
lowed him to take his place on the
platform. The young man, Horace
]. Smith Jr., had been member of
the class through the high school
course. His name was on the roll of
graduates when the invitations were
circulated, and there was never sup
position that he would not be grad
uated. There were twenty-three
members of the class, ten of them
girls. All except one or two of the
members joined in the demand that
Smith be graduated, and after nego-
tiating for an hour the superintend-
ent and faculty surrendered and he
was given his diploma.
