The t1untsman Kaiser.

Among the many trials that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had to bear is the
accusation that he resembles the en-
peror of Germany. The fondness Of
both for hunting has been pointed out
as an example of the likemindedness
of the president and the kaiser. Sta
tistics have recently been published
which cast light upon the hunting
achievements of William IL They
make Theodore Roosevelt's occasional
excursions in search of well-deserved
rest and a few grizzly bears seem
Sunday-school picnics by comparison.
They put the strenuous occupant of
the White House forever in the class
of milksops and mollycoddles.

man Kaiser reports that his majesty
has bagged total of 47,514 pieces OF
game in a period Of thirty years. over
eighteen thousand pheasants we're

THE PRICE OF FUR.

The best market, dealers say is for
fairly open, although some of the
Rochester dealers have not received
the official list of quotations from
their New York houses. Offerings
are moderate but show tendency 10
increase. The furs are improving
steadily in quality-compared with
last year at this time, the skins are
better and somewhat larger.
The best market, dealers say, is for
muskrats and mink, with skunks in
smaller demand. The receipts of rats
are larger than offerings of other
skins, and the price is low. The best
rat skins are quoted at 20 cents for
fall and winter varieties. Mink are
scarce and high. Few have been re
ceived. No l mink are quoted at SIS
each, No 2 at IS, No at SO and the
lowest grade at 81. Skunks average
from 20 cents to 80 cents, the top
price for prime skin. Raccoons have
been arriving in fair supply, and IL e
prices paid have averaged from 81
cents up to $3.50 for No Is.
Although the demand just at pre-.
sent is said to be equal to the supply
the unusual financial condition has
had some effect on the market
Values, while still high, are not 50
strong as last years extreme figures
Few No / large sales have been made
so fas, smaller collections having com
prised the bulk of the transactions
These have been disposed of daily az
fast as the receipts have permitted.
Besides the mink, there is q
scarcity of red COX. The prices fol-
the furs of this animal arc high, but
no higher than mink. Some dealers
quote red fox at IS to Sc for the besl
large ones, with medium at S4 to IS
Large otter are quoted at SIS to $40
and large beaver at So to $40 each
Where the furs are unusually fine
somewhat higher prices are paid

Mystery of African Temples.

The temple ruins at Rhodesia are
puzzlers. The erudite folks used to
say they we're ancient, but DR.. Ran
dali Macivers, their latest explorer,
says they were built in the middle
ages. He says the great "elliptical
temple" was the fortified residence
of the great chief or monomortapa,
whose sway extended over an enor-
nous area and an extensive popula-
ton. To understand how architec-
tural feats like the finer Rhodesian
buildings can have been achieved by
the precursors of the modern South
African natives it is necessary TO
assume that in those days there
was organization of a far higher
character than has obtained in re
cent years, organization under great
chiefs whose power ana intelligence
we're of a relatively high order
From the Portuguese and their rec
ords this would appear to have been
the case in the days of the Monomor-
tapan empire of the middle ages
down TO the close OF the sixteenth
century. The organization of labor
implied by the elaborate and decoCat-
ed stone architecture Is remarkable.
Even more remarkable than the for.
titled castles are the terrace walls.
These stone built walls form irregu.
lar concentric rings round the hills
upon which the villages are situated.
and. although structurally simple,
cover an enormous area. extending 10
close formation over space of up
wards of City sauare miles.

several months for the test. The ex-
animation was unusually difficult,

the rather low marks. Chynoweth Sc
