War Due to Man OF Iron.
Had Bismarck not existed. the
war between France and Germany
would not have been foredestined.
The son OF Napoleon III would have
avoided it, even as his father would
have done. Napoleon III wished for
peace. but vacillatingly. Bismarck
wished for war with all the force OF
his infiexibie will. II is pitiful, there

of our trumpery historians who seek
what they term the responsibilities
and strain themselves to incriminate
either the statesmen OF the opposi-

But neither the declarations OF

CATARRH DESTROYED
MY APPETITE.

nERUNA rarely fails to restore the
= appetite. Immediately upon begin
ming the use of Peruna patients begin
10 eat and digest. This is the universal
testimony, coming from all parts of the
civilized world.
Catarrh is a very frequent cause OF
loss Of appetite and disturbed digestion.
The beneficial influence of Peruna on
catarrh completely restores the appe-
title in such cases.
To prod the digestive organs with
medicines that are merely stimulants is
3 poor way to remedy such cases.

Increased Demand for FurJof Lit
tie Animal Causes Slaughter.
Good Skins Have Advanced In Short
Time from 10 to rs Cents Each
Dainty Dish Seldom Tempts
Gourmets Now.

Detroit, Mich.-Muskrats are scarce
down the river these days and the
heretofore welcome legend. "Murkrat
supper here tonight" is now seldom
seen. In years gone by the salt
marshes of Ecorse have yielded many
thousands of the amphibian. while the
number speared and caught in traps
now is numbered by the dozen only.
This state of affairs prevails all over
Michigan and it is prophesied that
next year the furriers will send the
price of near seal" coats many per
cent. higher.
Various reasons are given by differ
ent people for the scarcity of rats"
The local jewellers will tell you that
the high water this year is to blame
and that the muskrats are being
drowned by hundreds because they
cannot reach the surface of the water
for air. Others say that the burning
over Of the marshes is another prime
cause. The fur men say. however.
that the wonderful rise in price Of
muskrat skin causes a greater slaugh-
ter than ever before.
I'VE have considerable difficulty
getting the carcasses." said William
Anspach. of the River Rouge club
house. the other day. lust few
years ago 1t was easy to secure a bar
rel Of muskrat carcasses around here:
where the trappers formerly captured
hundreds each winter they are salts
fled with score now. Last winter
the retail price Of the carcasses was
but 10 cents. or two for a quarter
when the muskrats were large Now
you cannot get one for less than 20
cents and from that up. We used. to
get large numbers from Monroe. but
that source Of supply also is cut on
now"
"Muskrat skins are coming in slow
ly," said E. C. Blake. dealer in raw
furs. The supply is running low. in
my opinion. because there is a great
demand for the skins. Michigan musk
rats are greatly in demand and bring
splendid prices. Good skins now fetch
rs cents each, while but a few years
ago 10 cents was considered a good
price. Muskrat skins are converted
Into the near seal coats and are used
for great many other purposes. The
government uses a large number in
the making Of caps for the soldiers.
1T Is mistake to suppose that the
marshes are yielding fewer animals
now because Of the approach of the
'wellings Of men or the running Of
'ilroad tracks through the marshes.
he animals are scarce because they
re more closely hunted for their
rims"
