THE MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMAN IN ASIA.
Queer Furs.

This is cat fur" said the furrier we use it for Innings. An excellent lining eat fur makes, too. Dogs, calves, colts, coons, opossums, bats, rats, any animal that wears fur, in fact, is sal able in the fur market Bat hair is felted up with other stuff into an imi- tation skin It is also used, 1 believe, in rope plating. The dog, the coon and the oppossum yield fur that, properly treated, makes a very hand some lining. Rat skins are employed in certain delicate repairs. and they also serve to form the thumbs of cheap gloves. A queer thing about the fur business is that the furs must be taken in the dead of winter; the trap per must work under the cruelest climatic conditions; only thus is the fur at its best The dresser, on the other hand. who could work best in cold weather, must do all his work in the heat of summer, or otherwise he would not be able to keep up with the changing fashions"

 That a number of houses should have been wholly and in part destroyed is naturally to be expected of any cy. clone that is at all violent. But that it should pick up a caster from a table twist off the handle and drive the spindle through the branch of wal nut tree is surely no common occur renee. Mir.

5000 YEARS WITHOUT CHANGE
People of Egypt Have Retained Phys
 lcal Characteristics.

At meeting of scientists in Dub. lin, Prof, G. Elliott Smith, the Egyp- tologist, said that the earliest known human remains found in the Nile val ley, when compared with those of later times. demonstrated the fact that at a very remote period Egypt and Nubia were inhabited by the same race, which had persisted in Egypt with little or no change in physical characteristics throughout the inter vening 6,000 years until the present day. They had been, and still were. a small people, the average height of the men being about five feet three inches at every period of their his tory.
 Their hair was very dark brown or black. usually wavy, but not "woolly" or In any sense negroid, their heads were long and narrow usually ovoid or pentagonoid or "coffin-shaped." as the result of frequent presence of a protuberant occiput On the whole they shared those characteristics which distinguished the majority of the peo- pies ringing the Mediterranean.
 AS would be expected in group of people that had lived from the dawn or history on the fringe of the negro territory. there was some slight evi- dence of an infusion of black blood. put this was very small in amount

WORKER MUST LOVE VOCATION
First Requisite for the Attainment of
 Success in Any Line.

A prime qualification for success in any art, trade or profession is the love of it. though love alone will by no means bring success in it. The love must be reciprocal; that is, the voca- tion must desire it's follower, for req sons which must remain as much a mystery to him as to any of his wit nesses She was love worthy" says Heine, in treating of a moe passional case, and he loved her; but he was not love-worthy, and she loved him no<." The fond youth, university-bred or self-made. may have ever so great a desire for journalism, but journal ism will have no desire for him, un- less he has the peculiar charm for 1t which commands affection in all cases. He can only prove the fact by trying and by longing to try with longing that excludes the hope of every other reward beside the favor of the art he wishes to espouse. Riches, fame, power may be in the event, but they are not to be in the quest The wish to succeed in it for its own sake must be his first motive, and the sense of success in it must be left to add them selves, without his striving for them. So far as be strives for them, they will alloy and dilute his journalistic sue cess.-W D. Howells, in Harper's 8 Magazine

Benefit of Assuan Dam.

During the year 1907 the Nile reached the lowest level known in Egypt since 1877 and but for the ex- istence of the great dam at Assuan and the vast volume of water im- pounded by it to supplement the low Nile during the season of drought the country would have been plunged into the horror of famine. The year 1907 was the eighth successive lean year so far as the Nile flood was con. cernsd.
