KNITTING AN ERMINE.
Cold Trick That Traps the Shy Little

You are doubtless aware that the
ermine OF which your muff Is made

since royalty began, In Russia, until
very recent years, its use being for

| wonder II you are likewise aware
that II Is brother, or at least first
cousin, to the weasel Ermine. as a
matter OF fact, IS nothing more than
the weasel or common stoat In its
northern coat. for, like other arctic
and subarctic animals, the weasel turns
white in winter In order that It may be
as inconspicuous as possible In its en-
ylronment Of ice and snow. Yet so
abnormally keen OF sight are the 81
berlan trappers that they can distin-
guish at almost Incredible distances
the little black tip OF the ermine's
tail as It whlsks across the dazzling

1t Is very shy, is the ermine, and
special snares must be devised by the
trapper to avoid injurIng the delicate
skin. Even the smallest OF the steel
traps are too heavy for such tiny ami
mails as these, and here It IS that the
irapper's fertility OF resource Is most
strikingly displayed. Smearlng little

dashes which show that an ermlne has
passed that way. Along comes the
tiny white form on its erratic course
again. The grease appeals to 1t, and
II begins 10 lick the knife blade,
which in those far northern lands,
where the mercury drops to %. 80, 40
degrees below zero, IS inconcelyably
cold. Did you never as n child on a
