The expenses of operating the state

from that time until it now has cached
the total of about 5000 900 a year. Aside
from any question of actual malefac-
tons, the department has been a no

London ts 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 than $780,
100000. Many curious incidents and
caprices OF the London market are re-
corded, For instance. ever since the
middle ages ermine has been the fur OF
royalty, n II is still used in the trim
ming OF the state garments of kings
and queens. In time, however. 1t 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, the word
went round from some mysterious
fashionable source that ermine should
once more be the mode. Whereupon all
the buyers began to demand ernine
skins. and the price went UP to a high
figure. AS might be expected, the mar
was soon giutted. Chinese hunters
sent to London no fewer than 10, 900
ermine skins In the spring OF onn
year. And then they promptly wen out
OF fashion again. The ermine is white,
with h exception of the tail, which is
black. These tips, dressed with the
white fur at regular intervals, make the
spotting OF black which is seen on state
garments Of er1nine. Among the costliest

This little creature, known to science
as mustela zibeiine, is about 1S inches
long, with a bushy tail and a sharp,
whiskered nose. 1t has "a remarkably
rich fur. dark brown or black. and very
