Money in Black Foxes
Consul's Report.

From ConsufS Report
 "The pelt of the pure black fox is the highest priced fur on the market" writes Consul Deedmeyer from Char lottetown, Canada. The sum of $2300 has been paid to breeder of black foxes in Prince Edward Island for one medium-sized, flawless skin of excep- tional beauty and luster. The aver7 age price pelt, according to color and quality. run from $500 to $500. The business of domesticating and breeding foxes has been carried on in this island for about 20 years; it is now past the experimental stage, and promises to develop into a paying industry. Tn more than one instance the proceeds of the sale of a pure black fox skin has paid off farm mortgage.
 The black fox is rare. Its pelt Is marketed in London, where the availa- ble supply Is offered at auction four times a year At the sale In January, 1910, I'll belts, varying from the silver tinged to the pure black, were offered; this year the number at the midwinter sale was only 64 By the application of the methods which have proven so successful in Prince Edward island this industry could be carried on with profit in the northern sections of Maine, Vermont, New York Michigan, Wisconsin and in the states bordering southwestern Canada"

 Amundsen's position was as follows. After Cooks and Peary's return the inter- est for his North Polar expedition ceased; the support he had been promised from his last hope, was withdrawn, and the Norwegian parliament refused to give him the additional grant required. No other resources were left. If nothing were done the money of his supporters would be wasted He had therefore either Q give up the whole undertaking, on the

SHOOTING COSTS MONEY
Kansas Battleship Is Valued Higher
 Than States Colleges

From the Kansas City Star.
 The battleship Kansas, says the Kan gas Industrialist cost slightly more than s7.ooo,oOo. The colleges and the university of the state for which this ship was named cost about s6,oOo,0oo. Something In this to think about. Charles F. Thwing, president of the Western Reserve univer- sity, speaking along these lines, recently In an address to the third National Peace congress in Baltimore, said:
 .erhe annual cost of maintaining a battleship is from s74oooo to sseo,ooo. The number of universities whose annual budget exceeds these amounts can be numbered on your fingers. When one takes into view the depreciation of an armored cruiser or battleship, it is safe to say that it costs more to maintain a a battleship for a year than to maintain Yale college for year. and several times what 1t costs to maintain a college like Amhert or Williams"
 President Thwing said that the valuc of the grounds of 800 colleges and uni versailles in this country was estimated at E67, ,0o0,O00; of the buildings $219. .000 900, and of the productive funds $260,000,000. The cost of 3s battleships which he named was, he said, $236, 551, ,4Ss The cost of main taining these during 1910, he said, was in excess of s24.00O,000. The entire income of all the colleges in the United States during 1909 was, he said, about s25.0O0,Oo0.
 Tn other worlds, he said, when one takes into view the depreciation of the battleship or armored cruiser, the entire cost of the 3s battleships for a single year is grater than the administration of the entire American system of higher education.
 "The money which is thus wasted on naval armament would put the cause. of the higher education of America upon a most efficient basis.'

 chose the latter course. and fearing that we might advise him not to go to the
 Antarctic, and considering 1t his duty to take the responsibility on himself alone. he decided to tell any of us who had as
 sisted him with the preparations for the North Polar expedition about his own decision. And in this he was perhaps
 right As for myself, I must admit that If I had known of his plan beforehand
 might possibly have warned him against going south, for fear that 1t would be too ] hard strain upon man first to go on a trying South Polar expedition and then straight away to drift voyage across the North Polar basin, calculated to last
 at least five six years. l have never
 heard of any plan approaching it. and al- though my opinion is that Amundsen If anybody, is the very man to carry out such gigantic task, I should not have cared to have taken the responsibility of encouraging him.

A House of Shells
From St. Nicholas.

From St. Nicholas.
 A retired sea captain living near Ed inburgh, Scotland concluded that one of the rooms in his house was too dark, and not wanting to whitewash or to paint the wall opposite the win dow, so as to reflect the light into the room, he covered the wall with cement, and in it placed a layer of white shell. The result was so pleasing, and he had so many sea shells which he had collected from various parts of the world, that he continued the work un- til his cottage and garden became the wonder of the region.

8. g. M. BUILDINGS BURNED.
Heavy Loss in Fire Which Threatened
SanbornviIle, N. n.

! Sanbornville ~ H., April 9.-The To-
| cal repair shops and engine mouse
| of the Boston Il Maine Railroad were
burned Saturday evening, and for Il
time the business section of the VIII
lage was threatened. With the aid Of
apparatus and firemen from Dover
and Union, the fire was confined to
the railroad property.
The fire started in the railroad car
pcnter shop soon after O'Clock. 1t is
supposed to have originated from
detective chimney. Besides the car
penter shop, the oilhouse. dryhouse,
storehouse, foreinan's office and round
house were destroyed. The only rail-
road buildings which remained were
the depot and freight house, located
on the opposite side of the street.
The village fire department was I'M
able to cope with the fire. Station
Agent Sanborn got into Geographic
communication with the Portland di-
vision train dispatcher at Boston. l..
F. Jilson, in charge of the office at
Boston, telegraphed to Union, Il few
miles below this place, on the Con-
way branch of the road, and arranged
with the authorities of that town to
send their chemical engine. 1t ar
rived on a special train made up here
ard sent to Union. Mr.. Jilson also
appealed to the Dover authorities and
a special train, with a steamer and its
crew, was soon on its way here.
There We're five locomotives in the
roundhouse when the fire broke out.
Four were Immediately taken out UNI
der their own steam. The other To-
connective was kept in the shop while
and connected with nearby cistern
in a way that enabled it to throw a
good stream of water on the fire in
the carpenter shop. The engine was
backed out of the roundhouse while
tina. structure was in flames.
The small building near the round-
house. used as the Office of c. H. Spin
nay, superintendent of shops, was
quickly destroyed.
The buildings burned were about 900
feet north OF the railroad depot, and
that structure was in no danger at any
time.
Within 800 feet of the burning car
penter shop was the Central House.
the leading hotel. A large wooden
structure, it was in great danger. Be
fore aid came from Dover and Union
employees and guests wet blankets and
spread them over the side of the build
ing next TO the fire. This plan kept the
hotel safe.
On the east side of the fire. within a
few hundred feet of it, was large az
story wooden building. occupied by
Garvin's general store and several
lodge rooms. 1t was saved by being
drenched by a volunteer bucket brigade
and the engine from Dover.
Special crews of railroad men came
from nearby places to aid in fighting
the fire. The blaze was not under con-
troll until O'Clock, having started at s.
The buildings destroyed were all old
ones, and the total value will probably
not exceed $4,000. The contents of
the shops We're probably worth $4,000.
Hundreds of people living within a
radius of Il miles came driving into
Sanbornville, and the first reports were
that the entire village was being de-

Safe Treatment for Headache.

The rational treatment for headache
is to get at the cause, if possible, and
remove it. Headache is only symp-
tom of trouble somewhere in the sys-
tenn, and dosing with tablets or powders
containing acetanilid or other coal-tar
derivatives which stop the pain tempo
rarily but weaken the heart, is at once
unsafe and unwise. The headache may
come from your eyes, then good ocu-
list can help you at once with proper
eyeglasses; but if it comes with furred
tongue, loss of appetite, nausea, and
constipation, it is usually the result
Of disordered digestion, or torpid liver,
and one or two doses of L. F. Atwood s
Medicine will speedily help you by
carrying of impurities and restoring
the cloggsd digestive organs to their
normal activity. In using this old re-
liable remedy, you take no chances of
weakening the hearts action.
It has a record Of sixty years as a
safe headache remedy. The IL. T.
