Trappers Compelled to Work Harder
Than Ever Before and Secure
Fewer Animas-Profits Big.

Bangor, Me.-Trappers who spend
the winter in the Maine woods work
much harder than they did 20 years
ago. They get up earlier, travel. farther,
and take greater pains In attending
their traps, and earn about as much
rs they did when fur.bearing animals
were twice as abundant They bring
in lighter loads and take greater pains
In skinning and preparing the pelts,
They bring out muskrat and skunk
skins that formerly they did not con.
slider worth hauling, because with the
scarcity of minks, otters and fisher
cats prices have doubled.
Profits, however, are very extensive,
often amounting to 100 per cent. or
more on rare furs, though prices for
skunk, raccoon and muskrat are nom
inal. The pe'ts of New England and
Canadian foxes are the finest, thickest
and most desirable found in America.
Ten years ago the Office of the Maine
fish and game commissioners reported
that from 10000 to 10000 foxes were
captured every year, more than halt
of which were poisoned Fur buyers
here say the figures are too high, that
not for more than 25 years have there
been 10000 fox pelts sold in one sea
son in any Maine district.
In many Of the old country towns
are associations which keep fox
hounds to run foxes in sportsman
like manner without any desire for
rroAts or records The best known of
these organizations is the Brunswick
Fur club, although hounds are run in
in Skowhegan, Dexter, Pittsneld and,
until few days ago, in Bucksport
Monroe and Frankfort.
Since the price of a fine fox pelt
has advanced to IS each many hunters
have saved the best for wives, daugh
ters or sweethearts. An average pelt
will bring Is to 20 per cent. more this

To remedy such evils the city au-

Halt in Building Operations Causes
Great Dearth in Houses Of Less
Expensive Kind-Huge Sum
to Be Expended.

Vienna.-Exorbitant rents, coupled
with a growing scarcity OF small
apartments, In the two capitals oil
Vienna and Budapest. have forced
both the Austrian and Hungarian au'
thorties to come TO the rescue OF the
workers. The ministry in Vienna has
voted 25,00O,000 kronen (s5000,OO0)
and the municipality of Budapest 3d.
100000 kronen (Sl9,000000) for the
erection of workmens dwellings. 1t
is expected that this action will not
only supply the present urgent need
for more small apartments, but also
stop the persistent increase in rents.
Vienna has for the past three
years suffered from veritable fam
inc in apartments, especially In the
cheaper districts. The city has been
growing at the rate OF 10000 persons
a year and building operations have
not kept pace with this increase. High
prices of land, high prices of building
materials of all kinds and higher
wages for labor all combined TO stop
the erection of new houses. The land
lords took advantage Of these condi-
tions to raise the rents, especially OF
the cheaper fats, and the wage earn
ers have suffered greatly.
In Budapest the situation is even
worse than in Vienna. Since the union
of the two cities OF Ofen and Pest in
1872 the population Of the Hungarian
capital has increased by leaps and
bounds, completely outgrowing the

ings were erected only in a limited
area and these were mostly high
class houses. For the last ten years
a general commercial depression has
put a stop to building work. Unable
to find proper house room, the work
ing people have had to make shift
with the most limited quarters until
no city in Europe has come to suffer
so from oyercrowding as the capital
of Hungary.
According to the last housing sta.

Story Of DRINKING Man.

Chaplain McCabe tells the story of a
drinking man, who, being in saloon
late at night, heard the wife of the
sa!oonkeeper say to her husband;
Send that fellow home; 1t is late"
NO, never mind" replied her hus'
band; "he is shingling our roof for us"
This idea lodged in the mind of the
drunkard, and he did not return to the
saloon for six months. When passing
the saloonkeeper in the street the
latter said: why don't you come
round to my place any more?" THANK
YOU for your kind hospitality" replied

RussIa's Revenue From Drink.

Russia received last year from rev.
enue of intoxicating liquors $275,OOO,'
600: enough to pay the cost of her
army and navy. In the meantime she
is coming to an unhappy pre-eminence
as the most drunken nation in the
world. The dire need Of the whole
nation for drastic measures OF reform
along the line of temperance was voic-
ed by the Anti-Alcohol Congress
which met a short time ago in st.
Petersburg. Several members OF the
Douma also have been outspoken
against the drink evil within the en-
pire, and temperance reformers In
other parts of the world will now look
for the first unmistakable signs of the
temperance awaldng which these ac-
tiylties seem to indicate.

Whisky Trade Degrading.

"A trade which flourlshes upon the
ruin of its supporters; which derives
its revenues from the plunder of
homes, from the defrauding of helpless
childhood and from the degradation Of
manhood; which requires for its pros
perity the injury of the community;
which ministers to every vile and
vicious passion and propensity which
makes drunkards and thieves, and en-
bezzlers and gamblers, and wife beat
ers and murderers; which brutalizes
and degrades all who are brought In
contact with it, cannot claim the re-
spect, and assuredly ought not to be
able to claim the encouragement Of
the community."-New York Tribune.

UNIQUE WAY OF SAVING TIME

Trenton N. J.-It takes James NJ.
Donald eight minutes TO get from his

DOES YOUNG WOMAN KNOW
HOW TO COOK AND SEW?
Norway Has a Law Which Makes These Accom-
pliShmentS Essential in the Wife

dim the brightest romance. and most
young wives subject their husbands to
three or four years of this ordeal.
Has Learned Her Trade.
Doubtless the reason that the men who
marry widows are proverbially happy is
because by the time a woman has killed
OFF her first husband with her cooking
she has learned her trade.
Neither can any mans love long sur
Vive his wife's wastefulness. This is not
because he is stingy, but because 1t is so
heart-breakingly discouraging for him to
know that the results of his hard labor,
his very life blood, are being thrown
away by his wife by her acknowledgement
1t must make man fairly hate a woman
when ne sees his chances of ever getting
on in the world being cast into the gar
bage can and pilfered by thieving serv-
ants.
OF course, the blame for this state Of
affairs rests with the mothers. who hope
that their darlings will marry, but do
nothing to fit them to make marriage
a success. This is one Of the crimes of
society. woman should think it just
as much a disgrace to raise up a girl
who Is not fitted to be a good wife as
man feels 1t a disgrace II his son mar
rtes without being able to support his
wife.
The Duty of Mothers.
And if the mothers won't do their duty
in this respect, then the state should step
in and protect the poor, defenseless
young men. and no girl should be granted
a license to experiment on an innocent
and tnoffensive mans digestion. Make
her prove before she marries that she
is a good. freehand cook. and knows
how to market, and you will usher in a
domestic millennium. For happiness and
good temper and good health and all the
virtues depend upon the state Of the
liver, and that's in the keeping Of the
housekeeper.
It's a mighty responsibility a woman
assumes when she takes charge OF q
mans stomach, as we'll as his heart, and
it's only fair and reasonable that she
should be able to show the union card
before she qualities for the Job.
