When some of the Fathers returned
six weeks later they found the box
and its contents intact.
Their return was also owing to
Soeur Therese. They had been &C
cused of boarding arms, ETC., and were
confined in Carmelite, convent, ex

the Little Flower, suggested by
Christian Brother who was with them
they received their release. On the

general arrived not only to release
them, but to apologize for their treat

in the charges made against them.

THE LITTLE FLOWER.

A remarkable instance of the inter
vention Of the Little Flower is related,
in pursuance of a promise, by the Alb
bot of the Premonstratensians at
Leffe, Belgium. 1t will be remem-
bered that one of the most terrible
episodes of the fighting on the Meuse
was the sack Of the charming little
town of Dinant, near which the abbey
stands German soldiers entered the
abbey, and drove within it some two
thousand men and women, of whom
they chose promiscuously sixty men,
and shot them in the courtyard. The
other refugees they left in the abbey,
of which they made an exhaustive
search, threatening the Fathers with
death if they did not disclose their
treasure, and finally dragging them
away for six weeks in captivity
Now the Fathers had disposed all
the vestments, altar linen, and what
valuables they had in a box in the eel
lars of the abbey. During the search
this box, which had no lock, was
struck by the guns of the soldiers
more than once. 1t was also left to
the discretion of the nondescript

New York Fur Market Leads

Supremacy in World Trade Gained During the
War Is Likely to Remain

BOUT 100000 worth Of raw
n furs will be sold in New York
Il \ during the week of October 6.
Both In value and the number Of skins
this is said to be the most notable COL
lection Of furs ever offered in this
country.
In spite of the unsettled situation in
Russia and Siberia 1t is reported that
the offerings of Russian sables will be
very large and OF a most valuable
nature.
Many foreign buyers, heretofore kept
away by the war, will attend New
York auction for the first time. While
Il Is impossible just now for even the
most astute business men to tell just
what our position IN some world mar
kets will be later on, one thing now
seems certain, and that is, America
having become during the war the
chief fur trading centre of the world
Is likely to retain this supremacy in

OF the many commercial changes
due to the war by no means the least
interesting is the way the United
States has gained this supremacy. To-

How We Dress the Pelts.
Not only has the war centred the
sale of raw furs in this country, but
we have also become during the period
Of strife excellent fur dressers on our
own account. which is another big
step forward to permanent commercial
supremacy IN tne IuF traue, as IoT d
long time previous to the beginning
Of hostilities sealskins had to be sent
to Europe for finishing, later to be
returned to this country and reentered
in the dressed state at a customs tax
OF 20 per cent. ad valorem. The ne
cessity for taking this trouble in get
ting the skins put into condition for
cutting up into garments naturally
had a detrimental effect on the prices
they brought in the raw state and in
creased the figures asked for them
when made up for wear. Now, how
ever the finishing can be done in this
country. and the Government In con-
sssuence has become q SELLER of seal
skins at the New York and ST. Louis
auctions.
The cutting down of the supplies Of
skins received from other countries is
another way In which the war has
thrown Uncle Sam on his own re-
sources in reference to furs. This diff
fculty has been offset to an extent by
the reduced shipments of skins from
the United States. However, as q re-

pose of keeping UP with the demands
Especially is this true Of those rather
small mammals which seem to thrive
and breed quickly in the proximity OF
settlements. The larger ones, on the
other hand, such as bears and beavers
in course of time will, If not protected,
become generally reduced in numbers.
Although large quantities of the
smaller sorts are found in the United
States, the chief supply of furs is OBJ
tained from Siberia and the northern
parts Of North America, and as these
tracts are for the greater part OF the
year frostbound the fur bearing ami
mails enjoy a comparatively unmo-
Tested life. The fur, therefore, grows
quickly during the winter season and
is in the best condition when the ami
NAL is trapped in the spring.
The leading fur gathering companies
to-day are the Hudson's Bay Company,
established in 1870, and the Alaska
Commercial Company, in 1870. 1t Is
the furs of these firms together with
large quantities consigned from the
United States Government and from
numerous private traders that are Of
fered at our fur auctions. Nearly all
fur skins are brought to the market
in the raw or undressed state.
The usual mode of dressing furs is
by sleeping them in liquor for short
time. after which the pelts are
'theshed" over a sharp knife, to get
rid of the excess OF fat, and subse-
auently fried Off. They are next trod-
den in tubs OF warm sawdust and
common butter, by which means the
relt or leather is rendered supple. The

used in the manufacture of hats and

Birch's Soup.
In the entire category of soups, how
ever, there are none that the loyal
Englishman can compare to those
which have made the name OF Birch's

which was opened in III, was long

who met with regularity at the doctors
table to test his recipes and pass judg-
ment upon the merits of all now
That was the romantic age in cook
ing, the age when cooks had just
awakened TO an appreciation OF the
possibilities OF their art, and yet In
spite Of this fact It is doubtful If any
mock turtle soup that has since been
invented can compare in point of
savorncss TO the soup which was made
at Birch's two centuries ago, and II

truth of such an assertion, he has

TT is somewhat difficult to trace the

preceded the eighteenth century. And
IL is extremely doubtful If prior to the

generally used for such q purpose. It
Is true that the early italian novelists
