Fox Ranchinu in Eurone.

Although it is not generally known,
quite a number of foxes were sold last
year to parties residing in Europe,
mainly throughout Sweden, Norway
and Switzerland. One rancher who
has supplied n number of pairs TO
these Europeans, states that the in
dustry is spreading in a truly wonder
full manner in these countries, and
that this year he expects to be able
to sell practically all his foxes abroad.
There is only one drawback at present
to a general spread of the industry
there, and that is the rather high cost
of feeding, but this is being overcome,
and the sale of breeding stock at good
prices will amply cover the higher ex-
pense. The present rate of exchange
is also a disadvantage, but this does
not seem 10 affect those who want to
start in at the business, as the Euro
peans are now used to this. There is
most certainly a big field in Europe
for the fox industry, and that it will
some day amount TO something big is
q surety.

CHURCH ELDERS POISONED.
Varnish Instead of Wine Poured Into
Communion Cup.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Jan. 8
Eight elders of the Seventh Reformed
church here were poisoned at the morning
service yesterday when they drank var
nish that had been poured into Il commun-
ion cup in the belief that it was sacra-
mental wine. Two of the elders were said
to be in a critical condition.
The church recently had been repaired
and in the stCrer0om where the sacramcn-
tai wine is kept in a jug several jugs of
varniSh used in redecorating had been
stored. One Of the officials of the church
Is said to have mistaken the varuish for
wine when he filled the communion cup
during the church services.
The eight elders of the church were
the first to drink the communion wine.
As the cup was being passed to other
members Cf the congregation the elders
were seen to fall To the floor. Many Of
the church members became panic stricken
and rushed from the edifice. y physician
was summoned and the stricken men taken
to hospitals or their homes.

Church Bars Collection Plate.

\ new method of meeting church ex-
penses is told by he London Morning
Post. which reports that collections
have recently been entirely abolished
at the parish church of Fulham, in
London, except for special occasions
for objects not connected with the
parish.
Church expenses will be met out of
a special fund which has been formed
and to which every member of the
congregation is asked to contribute
a definite sum weekly. The expert
ment is said to be the first of its kind
so far as the Church Of England is
concerned, but the vicar of Prittlewell,
who was secretary Of last years
church congress at Southend, has for
some time had a very successful spec
iaI fund at his church, if he has not
entirely abolished the ordinary col
lectiOnS.

GAIN AND LOSE POPULARITY
Words Travel in Cycles, Speakers and
Writers Dropping Into the Mode
of the Moment.

"AIloCation," said the wordmonger,
sis a word that is being given con-
siderable prominence, it became popu-
lar during the war in connection with
ships and loans. The ALLEGATION of
shipping and the ALLEGATION of loans
came to be current phrases. Not long
ago the senate called ON the President
for information as to how he had al
located certain funds. In a recent
newspaper story about an operate
benefit in n of the big cities the
newspapers said that the ALLEGATION of
boxes is to be based on the size and
date of the contributions
"'Allocation' is so closely allied TO
'allot,' assign and 'apportiOn' that the
shipping and treasury authorities
might just as well have said the
allotment of ships and the 'apportion-
ment' of funds or loans. But words
come into fashion and writer's and
speakers fail into or fall for the pre-
vailing mode in words as some per-
sons do for the prevailing cOlOrs in
socks or necktieS and the prevailing
style in h~aircuts, says the Washing
ton Star. In the 'olden times'-that is,
when grandfather was in business
ALLEGATION had somewhat of 4 as
a financial word and one could often
hear and see the phrase ALLEGATION of
the shares of the company"
