London is one OF the greatest fur
markets OF the world. and 1t is claimed
that q years auction sales IN that
capital often amount to more han $780,
900, 900. Many curious incidents and
caprices OF the london market are re-
corded. For instance. eve since the
middle ages ermine has been the fur Of
royalty. and IL is still used In the trim
ming OF the state garments Of kings
and queens. In time, however, IL fell
into disfavor with women OF fashion.
White ermine skins became SO cheap
that the Canadian, Siberian and Chinese
hunters no longer sent them to market
About 20 years ago, however, h word
went around from some mysterious
fashionable ource that ermine should
once more be the mode. Whereupon all
the buyers began to demand ermlna
skins. and the price went up to q high
Inquire. AS might be expected, the a
ket was soon glutted. Chinese hunters
sent to London no fewer h 10000
ermine skins In the spring OF one
year. And then they promptly went out
with the exception OF the tail, which is
black. These tips, dressed with the
white fur at regular intervals, maxi the
spotting OF black which Is seen on state
garments OF ermine. Among the costliest
OF furs In the Siberian zibeline or sable,
an animal which Is said to be rapidly
nearing the point OF determination,
This little creature, known to science
~ mustela zibelins, is about Is inches
long, with a bushy tail and a sharp,
whiskered nose. It has a remarkably
rich fur. dark brown or black, and very
lxstrous. The imperial court at Petro-
grad has always demanded that the
nhest Of the zibelines be reserved for
its use. They are known as crown
xibelines."

Toothache was not an incident OF
campaigning with which ancient armies
had to reckon. The silence OF the
classics certainly seem to indicate that
the Greeks and Romans suffered very
little from their teeth. Words for tooth
ache and for teeth extracting instru-
ments can, indeed. be found In the
Greek and Latin dictionaries, but the
authors quoted for them are generally
late and always uninteresting. We can
hardly believe that if toothache had
ceen common In Athens, Airstophanes
would have made no Jokes about II.
But a classical scholar may pretty
safely be defined to cite a single Greek
or Latin passage about II. Even Lucre-
thus. when he gets on to the subject of
teeth In a passage where a reference TO
toothache might be expected. merely re-
fers TO the a given to the teeth by
very cold water or by biting a stone

of the South Dakota state college, in
an address in this city. DR.. Lipp stated
that farmers underestimate the value
of quarantine, disinfection and SANTA
ton as preventives OF the disease.
"Ic they gre acquainted with the
causes Of cholera and the means by
which the disease is spread most of
them will be able to figure out for
themselves many Of the available
means for preventing II.
1T is necessary" said DR.. Lipp, that
there be better sanitation in hog yards;
the e must be dry, light and we'll
ventilated: the feeding floors must be
clean; the wallow must be sanitary,
and the pigs must be fed n healthful,
balanced ration. Sanitation must be
preserved by dis,nfecting the hog
houses: by keeping the hogs free from
internal and external parasites, and
where cholera is present. by destroying
all carcasses by burning, and by burn
ing all the trash in the yards"

that II Is so broken by mountains and

essary to abandon a position gained at
