H. Lee Mallory, a manufacturer of New
York City, who has recently visited kan
sas to investigate the Angora rabbit
propogating industry, said that the finest
yarns used at present are those of the
Angors rabbits.
The hair from the Angora rabbit
makes g fine yarn. which is woven into
many articles of wearing apparel Of daily
use. For years this yarn has been i'm
ported from France. Several Kansas
farmers have recently brought Angora
rabbits from France. and they report
that the animals grow 10 great size IN
Kansas and multiply very fast
The yarns produced from Angora hair
are woven into the very expensive jersey,
or sweater coats, and other articles OF
apparel. It is like silky yarn, much
softer than any other and very warm.
Next to this Angora rabbit comes the
llama Of South America, the India cash
mere. and the Angora goat. a few years
ago Kanssn happened to be in France,
and he took home some Of the Angora
rabbits They thrived in Kansas, and the
hair he sent me last year was fully equal
to the imported article I expect 10 see
this new industry become one Of the
most profitable OF the State"

missionaries wherever they work
have many difficulties to encounter
and many hardships to contend with,
but I doubt If there is any part OF
the earth where the missionary has
a harder time than in the Sudan
said DR.. A. G. Hudson of Los Angeles,
who spent several months in that
country.
Despite the effort of the Govern
ment to stamp them out, cannibalisuc
practices are still prevalent in the
Sudan. The Government Is adopting
strong measures to punish those re-
sponsible for such inhuman practices.
"The worship Of their ancestors,
witchcraft and the employment or
witch doctors and fetch worship are
among the obstacles that confront tho
missionary, but Notwithstanding these
and other difficulties the work OF
evangelization is producing encourag'
ing results, and in Africa today there
are more than 3,5OOOOO Christians"

HUNGARIAN ESTATE OWNERS
Seldom Leaves His Big Estate-HIs
Medieval Chateau.

I have before me the wages list be-
longing to large estate in Hungary.
1t is quite typical. The doctor heads
IL. His duties are to look after births
in the village and to mend broken
leg when necessary. He receives 400
kronen a year-about sixteen pounds
In English money-and has the use OF
a cottage; but he also has eight meas
ures OF wheat as part salary, so many
measures of oats and loads OF maize
and straw, so much hay and wurZel for
his COW; and so on in descending
scale, down TO the unskilled laborers,
the women who help at threshing, the
boys who mind the pigs at a living
wage of about forty or fifty kronen
year-about two pounds-and so many
sack of potatoes and maize. II Is the
medieval system of barter.
The Hungarian gentleman farmer
is the most contented individual in the
world in spite or because Of the fact
that he knows absolutely nothing OF
what is going on around him. He
does, perhaps, read his newspapers
which arrive daily from Budapest and
has vague ideas that all Austrians are
thieves and scroundrels, and that
therefore a union with Austria must
be fatal to Hungary, but as matter
Of fact the political situation Of his
country does affect the richness of his
wheat or the weight Of his maize

ed by any game laws. In Hungary no
one Is allowed TO carry gun unless
he owns so much land, and the owner
of land and therefore of game natural
iy makes his own laws for its preser-
vation.
His chief characteristic is hospital
lty almost barbaric in its lavishness.
His guests. his friends, his relatives
all are welcome as long as there is
room IN the house What matter to
him If OK, sheep or calf has TO be
specially slaughtered to feed the gay
multitude who come to visit him? He
has plenty and to spare.
OF town and town life he knows
nothing. Budapest is noisy and the
automobiles are smelly. He prefers
driving his magnificent horses in
teams of four or five along the roads
where right and left the rich fields be-
long to him.
There are at the present momens

noblemen Of ancient lineage and large
estates who never from years end to
years end go beyond the boundaries
of their states.-Baroness Orczy IN
