Fur Besrjno Animals,

The fur trade in this country has
grown to such proportions as regards
its business value that naturally the
concern Of those engaged In It Is d.
rected to its permanency. CuIiously
enough, the prevalent opinion that fur
bearing animals are fast decreasing In
numbers is not correct as regards those
animals which furnish the bulk Of the
fur business.
There are q number of fur bearing
animals which cannot exist In civilized
and thickly settled countries and which
consequently are fast dying out. But
muskrats, coons, skunks and some 9TH
ers seem to thrive and multiply I'm spite
Of civilization, for such old and thick
ly settled states as New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio still contribute
largely to the fur trade, especially In
muskrat skins. Should the time come
when these animals cannot be had
plentifuIly In their wild state it is not
unlikely that they will be bred especial
y for their furs.-New York Times.

Spanish DoJbloons.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose OF
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloOn
would cease to be legal tender In the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing 1t was. In 1730 and for a cen
tury after 1t was worth $S, more or
less. 1t has ceased to be coined In its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
1t has been unpopular in the West In
dies, where for long time it figured
In a mixed circulation, embracing Brit
ish, United States and Spanish coins
In the interest Of romance, however.
the name at least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value Of pistole,
but the "doubloon" was never such a
mouth filling mockery as "pieces Of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-
ester Post-Express.

Eccentric Place Names.

There are one or two place names
In England which for eccentricity it
would be hard to beat. Cornwall
boasts of a village called Drunkards
All and of tithing called London Ap-
prentice. The name Of another Cor
nish village, Grumzia, sounds worse
when spoken than it looks in print.
The same may he said Of the neighbor-
ing village Of st. Eval, which is pro-
nounced "Sandeval." Bishop Philpotts
asked candidate for ordination where
he came from. ''St. Eval," was the re-
ply. Dear me-" remarked the bishop,

Wit of Joseph Choate.

Joseph Choate had decidedly nasal
voice, but it was a beautiful voice,
resonant as some big gong, and his
rather unkind wit was as genuine as
his courage Every now and then his
wit was touched with beauty, as when
he said of the freshmen dormitories at
Harvard that all they needed to make
them rivals Of the Oxford college build
ings was ivy and time. Mr.. Choate
took playful satisfaction in suddenly
chilling auditors whom he had careful
ly warmed. Speaking once at boys
school, three of whose graduates had
acted as his secretaries when he was
ambassador, he delighted his audience
by his praise Of these secretaries.
After enjoying the pleasure Of masters
and boys Mr.. Choate wound up by say
ing something like this, Perhaps I
ought to add that all ask of q secre-
tary is that he shall keep out of my
way and shave every day."-New Re-

Surmountina the ImpossibIe.

1t has been the experience of every
forester as he goes about the country
to be told that a certain mountain is
impossible, that a certain trail cannot
be travelled, that a certain stream can
not be crossed and to find that noun
tain, trail and stream can all be passed
with little serious difficulty by a man
who Is willing to try. Most things said
to be impossible are so only in the
mind Of the man whose timidity or
inertness keeps him from making the
attempt. The whole story of the es-
tablishment and growth of the United
States forest service is q story of the
doing Of things which the men who did
them were warned in advance would
be impossible. Usually the thing
which cannot be done" is well worth
trying-Gifford Pinchot

William De Morqan.

In spite of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance Of novelists who seek to be-
come popular. None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing Of the moment
In fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was a law unto
himself In the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t Is doubtful If
In English literature or In any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world Of
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and In
his way he was no less prodigy than
the younger writer.-Bookman-

Gold Coin and Certificates Of Deposit

Gold Coin and Certificates Of Dsposlt
Found After His Death.
Pendleton, Ore.-In an investigation
Of the death Of Johnson W. willard, an
aged recluse Of the farming district
southeast Of Milton, Coroner Brown
discovered gold coin and certificates Of
deposit amounting to more than $16,-
900. They were tucked away In every
conceivable place. An old vest hang
ing In a closet yielded several hundred
dollars In gold.
Three or four purses were found
packed with coin. In addition to this,
Mr.. Willard owned the ranch where he
lived, valued at $4,000. One daughter,
Mrs. Hill, survives. Her home is In
Montana.
Mr.. Willard lived entirely to himself
since the death Of his wife three years
ago, and the room she used to occupy
had been locked. It was there, in the
bottom Of a trunk, that several Of the
certificates Of deposit were found.
During the past few years Mr.. VII
lard leased his ranch, retaining only
the house and a bit Of ground, where
he raised a small garden. He settled
on a homestead In 1869, just after the
war, and in the typhoid epidemic Of
1878 lost all his children but TIE one
daughter. Mr.. Willard was eighty-six.

Ha Lacked Concentration.

Speaking Of a man who was failure
because Of his lack of concentration
and his inability to know his own mind
five minutes at a time, q captain Of in
dustry said he reminded him Of hunt
ing dog he once owned:
AT sunrise the dog would start out
on his own hook after deer. He would
jump a buck and run him for miles.
When the buck was on the point Of e1-
haustion the hounds nostrils would
catch the taint In the air where a fox
had crossed the trail, and he would in
stantly decide that, after all, fox was
what he had come for, and he would
turn aside to pursue the fox. Perhaps
an hour later, when the chase was
growing warmer every minute, his keen
nose would detect the presence Of a
rabbit, and he would go after the cot
tontail, with the inevitable result that
by 4 o'clock In the afternoon that
hound would be thirty or forty miles

The Emerald,

The emerald has been known since
early times both in Europe and In GER
tain parts Of the orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
Il with the highest rank and varied
lore. Its name may be traced back to
an old Persian word which appeared
In Greek as "smaragdos," mentioned
by Theophrastus over 800 years before
the Christian era, and again In Latin
as "smarasdus," seen In the writings
Of Pliny, who particularized somewhat
on its properties and supposed me-
dicinal virtues and was even shrewd
enough to suspect its identity with the
much more common beryl, although
eighteen centuries elapsed before this
suspicion was verified by scientific
proof.
