Romance of the Fur Trade.

No more fascinating Romance of
Trade" exists than the efforts of an
army of adventurers in the waste
places, charged with the annual fur
production Of the world, which now
amounts to S25,000,0O0. Here is the
oldest industry known to man, and one
beyond the reach of any trust, since
any lonely trapper can throw his pelts
on the market at his own price. So
writes VIM. G. Fitz-Gerald in the
Technical World Magazine
will remark in passing that the fur
hunters have probably done more
world-exploring than any other tray-
elers. 1t was the little beaver that
lured men from the st. Lawrence to
the Mississippi, and thence to the
Rockies. Again it was the sable that
led the tribesmen of Asfatic Russia
across to far Kamchatka; and the big
sea otter lured the Spanish and the
English, with Russians and Americans
all round the world in crazy craft, ex-
ploring our Pacific coast from Alaska
to California.
To-day Canada alone produces over
S3.OOO,000 worth of furs every year ::
and to this Alaska now adds $3.50. 900
Of raw pelts, and Labrador probably
half this amount. Until a decade or
so ago the Prybiloffs and other seal
islands sent out S2,5OO.OOO worth of
skins annually; and then Of course we
have the enormous quantities dressed
and manufactured for the home mar
kets.

SAY WOMEN oUTDRINK MEN.

Female Investigators of KenOsha
Declare Sisters Are Gaining Habit.
Club women of Kenosha after an in
vestigation, say they are convinced that
more than men drink to intoxication in
the present day. The investigators de-
clare that while women are not the vic
tins of a natural desire for intoxication,
they get the love of liquor through pre-
scriptions given them by physicians. They
claim that the increase of drunkenness
among women has brought about a de-
crease in the use of intoxicants by men.
The conclusion was reached after a dis
cussion of the subject, THE Undesirable
Citizen and the consensus of opinion
among the club women was that the OBJ
jectionable class includes the indolent
rich, the saloonkeeper and the drunken
woman.

Woman First In Egypt.

An Egyptian papyrus over 1000 years
old, which has been brought to the Toledo
(Ohio) Museum of Art with other an
tiquities, is found to be of exceptional inn
portance as it establishes the date of the
reign of Pharaoh hitherto unknown and
throws light on the condition of woman
in the fourth century, b. G. The name
of the writer who signs this papyrus is
found on another documenut in Strasburg
university, which bears a definite date,
consequently his reference to the Pharaoh
Kahabbasha places the reign of that Pha-
raoh in the year 341 B. G.. 1t also con-
firms the statement of the Greek historian
Diodorus, of the first century b. c., say
ing that women were more important i'm
the social scale of Egypt than men and
that they formerly dictated terms in mar
riage. Since Diodorus no evidence had
