Moleskin Is Profitable.

Moleskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole of east
ern United States produces fur of
equal value, skins were submitted to
professional furriers, who stated that
the quality is superior to the foreign
product. A report on the economic
status of the eastern species was pub
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe-
cies, and a number of these have been
collected in order to obtain report
on the quality of the pelt. If the tex
ture of the fur proves to be as good as
that of the eastern animal, there is no
reason why trappers should not secure
a good income by capturing these ami
mails, as the area they inhabit is ex-
tensive. In many localities an acre
of ground supports as many as a hun
dred individuals. If this little animal
can be profitably trapped for its fur
the problem of freeing agricultural
areas from it will practically be
solved.

CALLED "SHREDS OF SATAN"
For Uncanny knowingness and Prank
ish Audaclty the Indian Crow
Has No Equal.

Travellers in the Orient have much
to say about the Indian crow, bird
that for uncanny knowingness and
prankish audacity has perhaps no
equal Corvus splendens-thus have
ethnologists flatteringly labeled him;
but a famous naturalist who knows
the breed at first hand has called
them "shreds of Satan, cinders from
Tartarus." To give these impish crea-
lures their due, however, 1t should
be said that life in India is not lit
tie enlivened by their presence. A
Companion correspondent witnessed
the following incident:
A small hawk had seized little
bird and perched on leafiess branch
to devour his prey. The spectacle
drew two crows to the spot They
hoped and tapped from branch to
branch, noisily discussing the strategy
of their intended raid.
Then one of them quietly slipped
away through the surrounding foliage.
At the same time his mate fled in front

steadily within a foot of his beak,
maintained a hustling menace of
snatching the titbit. That effectually
compelled the attention of the hawk
His prey firmly grasped beneath his
feet, he angrily Kissed and lunged at
the lowering nuisance. So lively was
the skirmish that the human onlook
er forgot the existence of the second
crow. But now that willy bird re
appeared some distance in the real
of his destined victim. With stealthy
sidlings and short, noiseless flights
he drew near. Then he made swift
dash, seized the hawks long, barred
tail by the tip, hung on it with his full
weight, and toppled the luckless hawk
in complete back somersault from
the perch! The released titbit was
instantly seized by the first crow
and the clever pair bore eff their booty
with much triumphant cawing.

STREET IN BELGRADE

, much of this, however, due to poverty,
is tawdry.
The capitals houses are long
stretches of white, with more of gar
den and tree planting around them
than is usually found in western
city. The population has grown rap
idly since 1867, from $4,000 in 1884,
to 10000 in 1910, and is typical Bal
kan city mixture, composed of Ser
VANS, Bulgars, Greeks, Turks, Mace
domains, Czechs, Jews, Hungarians
and Germans. The city has a number
of handsome public buildings, many
large, well-appearing business struc-
lures, numerous hotels, a university
and national library with 10000 vol
umes.
The beginnings of prosperity were
evident before the first Balkan war.
The exports of the Servian people
passed mainly through Belgrade, and
were taken by Austria-Hungary. These
exports consisted almost entirely Of
raw materials, for Servia has never
enjoyed a sufficient period of peace
and good management to save capt.

grade had some Observation-Disclosures

lation, printing and brewing Most Of
it's manufactured goods, however, were
imported.
Belgrade in latter years has been
one of the most patriotic capitals un-
der the sun. 1t has seethed and bub-
bled and boiled with pride and hope
for it's country. The Serbs have un-
dertaken every effort aiming toward
making their capital known, respected
and even admired abroad.

Peter was at the last extremity. He

International Credits.

The credit system is a part OF inter-
national as of national trade. Ger
many won much business in South
America by giving long credits. The
retailer in South America usually does
not receive cash. This credit plan Is
by no means best, but If our goods are
sold to responsible buyers, better that
we sell on credit than not to sell at
all. Long credits seriously diminish

LITERACY TEST BILL VETOED.
President Differs from Congress on
Radical Departure from Precedent.

Washington, Jan. 28.-~-President
Wilson vetoed the immigration bill
to-day and sent special message to
Congress saying he disapproycd the
measure because of the litcracy test
and other restrictive tests which it
proposes as a condition Of admission
Of immigrants to the United States.
President Wilson's message deliv-
cred to the House was as follows:
1T is with unaffected regret that
find myself constrained by clear con-
viction to return this bill Oh. Y.
$3.50, An act to regulate the immi-
grafton Of aliens to and the residence
of aliens in the United StatesD with
out my signature.
Not only do J feel ii to be a scri-
GUS matter to exercise the power Of
veto in any case, because it involves
opposing the single judgment OF the
President to the judgment Of ma
jority OF both Houses OF a Congress,
a step which no man who realizes his
own liability to error can take with
out great hesitation, but also because
this particular bin is in so many i'm
pOrtant respects admirable, well con-
Ceivcd and desirable.
Its enactment into law would nm
doubtedly enhance the efficiency and
improve the methods Of handling the
important branch OF the public ser
vice 10 which it relates. But candor
and sense Of duty with regard to
the responsibility so clearly imposed
upon me by the constitution in mat
ters Of legislation leave me no choice
but to dissent.

quence this bill embodies a radical
departure from the traditional and
long established policy Of this coun-
try, policy in which our people have
conceived the very character Of their
government to be expressed. the very
mission and spirit of the nation in
respect Of its relations to the peoples
Of the world outside their borders. It
seeks to all but close entirely the
gates of asylum which have always
been open to those who could find
