Passing through another arched gate
one enters the old town. Driving up the
road the path grows sleeper and sleeper
until the ascent gradually grows diff
cult. After passing the servants quar-
tiers and the cathedral, one comes upon
the royal castle, onsthe Hradschin. Look
ing up from below one sees an immense
pile of dark worn stones, adorned with
great towers. After one is in the large
inner court he sees many hundred suites
and windows This castle is perhaps the
most picturesque and interesting palace In
Bohemia. 1t was built by the Emperor
Charles Nv. on the site of the old castle
early In the fourteenth century.
The royal castle contains I'll apart
ments and three large halls. Especially
interesting is Vladislav Hall, which did
homage to the newly crowned kings of
Bohemia. and the coronation banquets are
held here. In the sixteenth century the
tournaments on horseback took place in
this hall The door on the left leads into
the Hall of the Diet of Bohemia This

meath this hall are situated the ancient
government offices. from the windows of
which the imperial councillors. Jaroslar
of Martintz and William Slavata, along
with their secretary, Fabricius, were
thrown into the castle moat. The stones
on which they were thrown are still
shown to visitors, AND it is said that this
led to the Thirty Years War.
Two stone pyramids We're placed there
to mark this important event.
The German Hall, formerly the picture
gallery and museum of antiquities of the
Emperor Rudolph H., was once rich In
treasure. These were partly carried away
to Dresden by the invading Saxon army
in 1899 and partly to Sweden by Count

south of the chain of islands that
stretches nearly from Alaska to Asia.
They are considered part of Alaska by
the treaty with Russia. We have con-
tract with the North America Commercial
Company by which they were given the
right to take certain number of seals an
nually on payment of 100000 yearly rental
and revenue tax on the skins. We are re-
strcted to IL 60-mile limit and the seals
are to be hunted with spears only while

1t is the intention Of our seal hunters
to kill the male only, and many of the
females are branded. Often the animals
are driven mp on the land and killed

ton of municipal archives.
More interesting still is the old Jews
quarter one of the oldest ghettoes i.
Europe. Especially odd are the syna-
gogues and the cemetery. This temple
is supposed to be the oldest synagogue
in Europe. 1t is said to have been found
ed after the Jewish people fed from
Jerusalem. 1t is built in an early Gothic
style and is so extremely small 1t was
once used as a cellar for another house
of worship. In one corner Is large
seven-branched candlestick that is saf
to have been brought from the Tempe
at Jerusalem.
The place is only large enough for the
men; the women either worship In
room above or are allowed to peep
through Stats arranged In the arched
windows
Behind the synagogue is the old burial
ground with the odd-looking tombstones,
many hundred years old. The figures on
the tombs show the families to which
the individuals belonged. Two crossed
hands indicate member of the house OF
Aaron, "a bunch of grapes from the house
of Levy, Il hen from the family Hahn.
Some of these tombs are covered with
pebbles, 1t being the custom for relatives
and friends to place these as token OF
devotion.
Another interesting feature is the
Teynkirche, the old church of the Huss-
ties which was begun by a German mer-
chant in the fourteenth century The
facade of this church is peculiarly inter-
estlng because it Is adorned with large
gided challce, the symbol of the HUSTLE
doctrine. The church has two splendid
towers and these are crowned with four
graceful turrets
The city, like so many built aud
adorned in medieval days has many old
gates decorated with odd and unusual
carvings of dragons, strange animals and
symbols of victories. Still more unusual
Is the Graben, which was formerly a
moat surrounding the town. 1t has
since been laid out as an avenue and Is
now the handsomest street In the city.
Here are splendid rows of trees, long
lines of shops and handsomely furns shed
hotels.
But the people are proudest of the
Stadtpark or city park, which is situated
right across from the Museum. 1t Is a
great deal smaller than the Baumgarten,
though Is adorned with shady walks,
flower beds and few statues.
The finest view of Prague is fvom the
Hasenburg, situated nearly 1000 feet
above the sea level. Here one gets Il
fine view of the Moldan. looking over'
the greater part of Bohemia, to the
Grant Mountains, to the splendid Bo-
hemian forest.

when the sea lion sees him he scurries

The silver fox, black fox and otter are
among the most expensive skins found in
the United States and Canada. Choice
skins have sold for $4,000, and as a rule
there are only about hundred or so of
these pelts found Nn the primary mar
kets. So rare are the fox skins that fox
farms have been started TO supply the
trade. There are several blue fox farms
in Alaska and these seem to thrive bet
ter than those started for the black and
silver fox. Over tive hundred foxes were
captured in Alaska in one year and sent
to London. but this is not now done.
Many of the thirteen varieties of bear
found in Alaska and North America are
used for furs, the most ferocious being
the brown bear, whose skin is largely
priced.

Edmonton is noted for its great fur mar
kets. 1t is a wonderful sight to step
into one of the ten or SO large fur stores,
several of them branches of firms of
national repute, and see the thousands
of dollars worth of furs that are gath
cred yearly.
Many of the great primary fur concerns
pay a commission to the trappers and
then sell their furs at auction to foreign
and American buyers Thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of skins are
disposed of III this way daily and though
there is no doubt but certain animals
are disappearing-for instance, the buffa-
loes In the United States have been de-
pleted to one small herd of about 20, fur
dealers are now utilizing smaller and
commoner skins off which in the end
they make fair profit. After the furs
pass into the primary fur markets they
are secured by the noted and great em-
poriums, New York, London, LEIPZIG and
Russia, and buyers from all over the

which were placed at intervals, usually on
the rivers. Today these business ar
engagements are somewhat changed. The
trappers work Independently and send
their pelts by water or rail transporta-
ton direct to large fur-distributing hous-
es, and the danger is now confined to the
bagging of the game, the matter of trans
port being comparatively easy.
The mailing lists of these fur distribu-
ting companies cover every part of our
country from extreme north to south and
they often in this way reach half a
million people who directly or indirectly
are engaged in obtaining game and de-
sire market for their furs. These furs
may be the pelts of large and dangerous
animals which have been killed in the
wilds of the mountains or they may be
lesser and cheaper game, the skunks,
raccoons, muskrats and white weasels
which have n large sale to the cheaper
trade and which are taken in such large
quantities that in the end the profit is as
large as from rarer specimens. 1t is
much easier to obtain such furs than to
get the pelts of the foxes, wolves and
beavers that roam in the north and are
taken under hazardous circumstances.
For many years, Edmonton. Canada,
has been one of the great primary fur
markets of the world, receiving the pelts
before they are shipped to the South
and East. Trappers in the far north,
from the great northern lakes near the
Arctic Circle, the mighty Mackenzie
River, the Peace and Athabasca Rivers,
send their supplies to this town, which
not so long ago was a frontier Hudson
Bay post. Wagon and water routes ex-
tend from Edmonton to these far-away
places and supplies are shipped north to
Athabasca Landing, floating down the
Athabasca River to Lake Athahasca and
from there to Great Slave Lake, Every
year cargoes of these goods pass over
this route and in return come many furs.

~ RAGUE is a most interesting city.
"A Like Nuremberg, here the old and
new mingle on intimate terms. This
capital OF Bohemia was once
place of great wealth. influence and
position, and held its own with
Verona, Padua and Milan. 1t has many
handsome streets, bridges, homes and
churches. The stones are worn with
age. though the buildings and bridges
are handsomely carved Gazing at these

few steps further on one comes upon
an interesting museum built In the best
= Greek style, with a broad flight OF steps
and massive Greek pillars. The walls
within are lined with marble and a splen-

rooms filled with interesting collections.

interesting are the rare precious ana

jewels. This valuable bit OF finery was
once the property of Marie Theresa OF
Austria.
Prague has also splendidly selected
picture gallery, which is better In the
works of the old than in the modern
masters. The old German and Italian
schools are extremely well selected.
Among the modern works, the etchings
and colored cravings are worth noticing.
Leaving the picture gallery, one crosses
the Carolus -brucke, the most interesting
and oldest bridge In Prague 1t Is
stone bridge decorated with large figures
of the Apostles, six on either side. This
splendid bridge has 16 arches and is more
than 500 yards long. Some years ago 1t
was partly destroyed by heavy floods
but it has been completely rebuilt.
On the right bank Is nm oddly carved
bower, called the Altstadt Tower. decor
