THEIR CHRISTMAS DEFERRED.
Chinese Celebration Depends Upon
Moon, Which Is Off Schedule.

Christmas is postponed indefinitely for
the Chinese living in the cities of this
country, owing to the fact that their feasts
depend on the moon. and the Chinese
moon has been off its schedule lately.
Last year at this time the farmers OF
China had titled their fields and sowed
their seed. This year they are waiting
for the moon to undergo the seedtime
change. but. up to date, it has not done il.
Seedtime is therefore a month or two
late.
This fact came out at Il dinner given III
New York by students of the Methodist
mission M Chinatown to their instructors.
The latter convinced their charges that
the sun is q more reliable timepiece than
the moon SO that the former consented
10 eat their Christmas dinner on sched-
ule but when the moon of their father
land goes through its change they will eat
another.

SILVER BLACK FOXES.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Upon Prince Edward Island, a narrow
renee from the shores OF Nova Scotia,
has sprung up. like a circus tent in the
night, the latest venture in frenZied
finance-the capture and propagation of
the capricious royal silver black fox, de-
veloping a new industry that has verged
into a veritable klondike, in which
Americans and Canadians have invested
more than S12,O0o,Ooo within the past
three years.
The silver black fox fur from time inn
memorial has been affected by the royal
families of Europe and by persons of
highest wealth and fashion. The accept
ance OF this fur as the choicest and most
valuable is time honored and not vogue,
the residents OF Prince Edward Island
will tell you. and its worth is almost as
fully standardized as that Of the diamond
among precious stones.
But until three years ago the expert
ment of propagating the silver black foc,

of later experiments did not begin to at
tract investors until about year ago.
The United States. British, Jaranese and
Russian governments. through the con-
sular service and by special Investigation,
directed the compilation of reports upon
the efforts in progress to breed the wild
silver black foxes.

Two Diets Given
to Valuable Animals,

squirrels, lobster. beef and mutton The
meats usually are fed raw, but in some
ranches they are parboiled and a slight
touch of salt added. The light diet in
ciudes biscuits, yeast bread, hoe bread,
vegetables. porrid2e, grass berries. ap-
pies, milk and eggs. Tallow is used as Il
substitute for butter on breads. All
meats are subjected to a tuberculin test
as foxes have been known to die of tu-
bercuiosis. About one-fourth+ pound of
meat IS considered days ration
When fox is discovered hiding the
food, the supply is decreased They bury
what they do not want for their imme-
date appetite.
During the mating season strangers are
not permitted within the Enclosures. Close
watch is kept over the pairs. In some in
stances the female parent has been
caught attempting to kill her young by
carrying them out in the snow.
The foxes form q strong attachment
for their keepers. and permit themselves
to be fondled. The fuil-blooded silver black
fox pelt cannot be counterfeted. All the
ingenuity of man has failed to produce
an imitation that will deceive. The per-
feet skin or peit has foundation of jet
black with a sprinkling of hairs on the
back and rumps which are silver gray for
portion of the distance between the
root and tip of the hair. The extremity
OF the tail is always pure white. The
brilliancy and sheen of fine pelt are I'M
usually attractive.
The Canadian government is giving par
ticular attention to this industry upon
Prince Edward Island, probably the rich
est rural community in the Dominion,
per capita with savings deposits of more
than so cup.UD1.
In New York, the story goes, there is
only Que coat made of silver black fox
furs, three peIts being used. This coat is
said to lie worth 100000 1t is safe to
predict however. that silver black fox
fur will be decidedly rare III the fashion
shops for the next five years. Their
value as breeders Is far too great to
think for IA moment of Staying the AMI

Use OF Power Boats Recommended.

old-style cared craft is recommended by

ice are being replaced with power craft

Approves Civilian Governors.

The recent substitution Of civilians
for army officers as district governors
is i move in the right direction. because
civilians can be kept in Office indefi-
nitely il they are successful in their
work. and the retention in Office of
men who have demonstrated their ability
successfully to handle wild peoples is q
matter OF fundamental Importance in
dealing with them.
The time is approaching and psrhap s
has arrived when it is the part of wisdom
to make q civilian the governor of the
Moro province. The man who fills this
Office should be young and vigorous, and
he should have genuine sympathy with
the people over whom he rules, for the
power OF human sympathy is very great.
and it is to this fact that tie large de-
gree of success which has been attained
in dealing with the more unruly hill tribes
of Luzon is due. The old-time simple
policy OF the square deal will win in the
end with the Moro, it mas won with
the Ilongot, the IfuGao, the kalinga. the
Bukidnon and the Manobo.
Troops Are Necessary.
Mind you, / do not mean to suggest
that the way to deal with wild men IS
TO throw kisses at them. They some
times transgress recklessly and then
sometimes need to be punished with Sc

obtain success that when they have had
enough, and show willingness to do the
right thing, they should be treated and
encouraged TO keep their word Troops
must still be kept in the Moro country.
but they should not lie sent into the field
except in case of some real necessity.
"One of the main reasons why Spain
failed to deal successfully with the Moro
was that she insisted on forcing her
religion upon him at the very outset. His
faith is the last thing that a Mohammedan
gives up. not the first. We must heal
the body of the Moro, educate his chit
dren. but for the present let his religion
severely alone if you would win ultimate
success.
