as good as long one-and decided THAI
as one bunch was larger than the other
I'd take the big one. He laughed:
There's where you'd lose out about
$4,000 at least, he said. This larger
bunch is made up of light 'colored' mink.
This small one is the best marten, I'M
colored and our price to the furrier for
the bunch is S., 000"
Yet a 10-year old school girl could have
carried that $4,000 bunch Of tanned skins
five miles
The otter, in comparison with the mar
ten, is below in rank. The best otter
from Alaska is two or three times larger
than the best marten, but the Alaska
otter brings S35 skin, while the best
grade otter from Florida brings SIG at
the trap. In its uses the plucked otter
from which the long hair is drawn-is
most adapted to woman's wear. In its
native condition the fur of the otter is
used largely as collars for overcoats.
All skins received are in the raw state,
and are packed tightly into manila bag
ging. The wrapping is heavy and secure
ly seWed. The skins may range from a
pelt stripped six weeks before and com
paratively dry to the skin taken from
the animal day before the shipping. No
sailing is done, nor treating of any kind.
The first work after the grading Of the
pelts in the receiver market is that of
taking all flesh and fats from the skins.
For this purpose stretching board COM
mensurate with the skin tightens the
pelt over the working board, which in
turn is made fasV 90 sloping ''bench'
at As degrees, ending in a refuse box.
Working downward with tool resemb-
ling the carpenters drawing knife, the
skin is left clean of all clinging flesh and
fat and is ready for the tanner. And the
tanner and the dyer would involve an
other story altogether.
When pelts have been cleaned they 90

of this particular drying room visited is
the post office" rack 1t is made of
wood and wire-bar sections. each of a
size to receive one muskrat skin stretch
ed on its board. This post-ofice rack
will hold 1856 rat ''Ietters.
For the other kinds OF pelts drying
board in proportion is used and the pelts
are stacked on shelves along the walls,
with two-inch space between. main
tanned by a nail on one side of each
board.
In drying, the temperature ranges be
tween 80 and 80 degrees and In this room
II hours are sufficient for the drying, al
lowing two filings in24 hours. When the
tanners work is done the house has its
crates of tanned pelts arranged ready
for the furrier's buyer. But even at this
selling stage most of the skins are sci
there, skin side out, on the board upor
which they were dried. In average sales
too, the buyer-who is as expert as the
man who passes on the raw skins seldom
examines more than the rump of the
animal, turning that portion of the Skin
back on the board for Judgment.

toms Disappear.

Good health is more nearly ques-
ton of pure blood than most people
think.
When the blood becomes thin and
impure the system breaks down at its
weaEes point, perhaps the nerves or the
stomach. But the trouble is in the
blood and when the blood is restored to
its normal condition the disease, whether
OF the nerves or stomach, is cured.
There can be no permanent cure OF
trouble caused by thin blood until the
blood is built up.

Small Apple Orchards Best.

'The apple crop of the present year is
estimated to be 80. 900, 900 barrels, which
is less than half of what it was in 1886, -
said Hon. George T. Powell of Client,
N. Y, the chief speaker at the opening
of the Maine State Pathological Conven-
ton in Augusta last week. '"The prices
for apples for the past few years have
been too high for their free consumption
by the masses of consumers" he con-
tinued. '"The retail prices are much
higher than the wholesale, and many
consumers have had to turn to cheaper
foreign fruits, as they could not pay the
high price for apples. This is why the
small orchard for most growers is more
desirable, that they may give them bet
ter care and produce more of the higher
quality that is demanded. A well-culti-
waited orchard of five acres for majori-
ty of growers will produce more profit
than larger orchards with only ordinary
care"

THE GOVERNORS BLUNDER.
rZion's Advocate.


The governor has evidently made a
mistake: a pretty serious one, and one
that will beyond doubt be disastrous to
his personal hopes and that may some
what affect his political future. -. 1t
seems that what Maine voted to have is
not just exactly what the governor of
Maine thinks she ought to have. So the
legislature is to be called together again
and asked to pass resolution submitting
new amendment to the constitution
providing for local option and license IN
the cities, even while the present amend
ment continues to prohibit the sale of in
toxicating liquors in rural sections Of the
State.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a
greater blunder from any point of view
considered. For one thing the position
taken by the proposition is absolutely
untenable. The prohibitory amendment
covers the entire State, urban as well as
rural. To say that all the State shall
not sell intoxicating liquors, but that
parts of the State may, is contradiction
in terms. Such proposition might more
reasonably be expected to emanate from
the stone building on the east side of the
river at Augusta than from the executive
chamber at the statehouse.
Maine has said her say on the prohibi-
tory amendment question. Not SO loud
ly and emphatically as we could have
wished, it is true. But she has said it.
And she is not likely to be obliged to say
it over again right away, just because
what she said was not quite pleasing to
certain gentlemen high in authority, or
to those interested in a financial way in
the things against which she has spoken

"WHAT NEXT IN PROHIBITION?',
An Address by Rev. w. F. Berr,

An Address by Rev. w. F. Berry
In Waterville recently, Dr. W. F. Ber-
ry of the Christian Civic League of
Maine, at largely attended union meet
ing of the churches, gave an address on
what Next in Prohibition?'' The SER
vice was held in observance of the
Worlds Temperance Sunday. DR.. Berry
said in part:
After prolonged and vigorous cam
paign the friends of constitutional pro
hibition in Maine have won by small
majority, and so small is this majority
that the friends of license desire to try
again, and the Governor of the State
promises to give them a chance.
What, now, shall the friends of prohi-
bition do?
We need, first, to be we'll grounded in
foundation principles. The purpose of
the State is the common welfare of the
people. The common good of the people
is possible only when they are rightly
related. Right relationship is from
within, when genuine intelligent love
prompts each to do his utmost for the
good of the other
Greed and lust are the twin enemies
of the common good Upon those con-
trolled and directed by lust and greed the
hand of restraint, the law, must be laid
to regulate them in their conduct 50 far
as possible. This is the purpose of law.
1t is for the lawless those wrongly re-
lated, and not for the righteous. Law
has its limitations, this must be recognize
ed. 1t cannot rightly relate people, how
ever enforced. But it is the only means
for dealing with those impelled by lust
and greed.
Evil is never lessened by authorization.
The State must not permit itself to au-
thorize evil; its mission is to stop evil so
far as it can, and it's means is law.
though we are promised the enforce
ment of the liquor laws by the regularly
elected officials in the platform of the
party in power, the promise has not been
kept. The failure to keep this promise
is due to individual and partisan greed,
not to the law. Honest enforcement
does NOT necessitate the actual stopping
OF the sale of liquor, but a continuous
honest attempt through the law does
this.
In many parts of our State, officials
pledged to enforce the law have entered
into partnership with the liquor sellers
.>AN Wv ~ oeCSGiilS CuSIu Ill CuelT ldWl0SS
business for share in the profits.
What shall we do next? Continue to
believe in prohibition as the only right
attitude of the State towards this traffic.
Continue to persuade others to entertain
like belief.
Unite to use such legal measures as
will compel recreant officials to do their
duty.
Continue our efforts to secure the cleo
ton of officers of sufficient character to
regard their official oath as binding and
of sufficient ability to efficiently perform
their official duties
Grid ourselves with an ever increasing
earnestness of purpose to the promotion
of total abstinence among the people and
especially the youth.
And so, out of strenuous living and
fighting, we shall win in the battle
against the saloon.

The Modern Department Store.

"It takes as much generalship to Or
ganize a business like this as to organize
an army" said President Grant at the
opening of department store in Phila-
delphia in 1877. In the current issue of
Harper's Weekly F. P. Ward presents
some interesting statistics of the modern
department store. There are several
which employ from 1900 to 5000 persons
at various seasons and have pay-rolls
averaging $40, 900 day, while the value
of the stock may vary from five to seven
million dollars the latter at Christmas

SCOUT LEADERS TO VISIT BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA.

SCOUT LEADERS TO VISIT BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA.
Preparations are being made by the
leaders of the Boy Scouts of America to
have in connection with the visit 20 this
country of General Sir Robert Baden
Powell a thorough inspection of the pa
trolls of boys throughout the country.
Baden Powell will make tour OF the
United States, lasting six weeks. He
will deliver lectures on the Scout Move
ment and talk to the boys in the leading
cities from Boston to San Francisco. On
this trip he will be accompanied by James
E. West, Executive Secretary of the
Boy Scouts of America. 1t will be Mr..
Vests first trip to the different Boy
Scout organizations. In the 20 Or 80 big
cities and in many small towns where
Badep-Powell and West will go, there
will be exhibit by the Boy Scouts for
the benefit of the visitors. Every phase
of scouting will be exhibited. Baden
Powell will have an opportunity to see
the tremendous spread of the Boy Scout
Movement in this country and to COM
pare the skill, the alertness and the gen
eral physical condition of the American
bows with those of the English boys.
Secretary West will make his first for.
nal inspection of the Boy Scouts of
Anne RIGA. He will meet the boys per
sonally and have many heart-to-heart
talks with them.
Baden Powell will arrive in New YORK
in February, and will be greeted by the
members of the National Council OF the
Bow Scouts of America, Scout Masters
and Boy Scouts. A dinner will be. given
in his honor by the Boy Scouts IN Amer
ca in New York. Baden-Powell will go
first to Boston and then to Washington,
where ne will greet President Taft, who
is Honorary President of the Boy Scouts
of America. He will continue his trip
west to San Francisco, whence he VIII
sail for Australia. Secretary West will
meet him on the pier in New York and
leave him at the pier in San Francisco,
after Journey of many thousand miles.
The tour of the two men will be the
first national review, so to speak, OF the
Bow Scouts of America. 1t is quite likely
that in cities where the two men stop
there will be gathered troops OF Boy
Scouts from nearby cities and towns SO
that as many Boy Scouts as possible VIII
have an opportunity to see England

of the Boy Scouts of America.
