FURS AND FUR
GARMENTS
BY A. V. Mccormick
local FurrieT)

Some Biblical scholars think tha
the badgers skins" which formed
part of the outermost covering o
the tabernacle in the wilderness
were in reality the skins of the OF
ter-the badger being unknown Il
Egypt, Arabia, and Palestine. 1t IL
of course within the range of pos
sibility they were imported, as the
badger is native to that part OF Eu-
rope now known as Germany. Below
this covering was another formed of
a series of rams skins dyed red. II
I is remarkable that to this lay
throughout the East it is a popular
practice to dye domestic animals a
peculiar carroty red. In some of
with their fetlocks dyed red, and
cattle dragging plows with tufts of
their hair dyed a vivid red.
The fashion, too, in the East of
dying that very odd, but popular
pet, a fat ram, a vivid brick red,
must have an origin which has not
been handed down to us. In the ba-
zaars of Constantinople. huge rams.
some of them very old, with tremen-
dous tails, are allowed to roam
about. and are treated as pets by
the merchants.
Whether the rams skins hung
around the tabernacle, mentioned in
Exodus, were simply dyed red for
the sake of artistic effect, so that in
the course of time 1t became fash
ion to dye animals the same strange
tint. has, believe, never been de-
termined.
Another singular point in connec-
tion with the choice of this peculiar
reddish-Orange color is that it is
produced by the same dye used by
the Persians to stain their boards
and hair-hennin. The PeTsians
from time immemorial have dyed
their hair and boards red-prObably !
the custom has a religious meaning, i
the Persians being ZOrOastians and
fire worshippers.
Doubtless. they set the fashion of /
"Titian red hair" The process must |
have been very tiresome. for the !
lady had to pass her tresses over /
the broad brim of a crownless straw
hat, and sit for three hours in the /
sun before the proper cOloring was
obtained by the effect of the heat
and light In the West Indies may
be seen sheep with tufts of hair dy-
ed. red, and some Of the negroes also
dyed their hair red. In the East the
dye used is known as Armenian or
Turkey red, or Bole, an Ocherous
earth, being a composition of whit
ing. red oxide of iron and red Ochre.
Many of the American Indians add
red wig to their war costume. Pos
sibly the choice of red dye for ami
mails may have originated in a de-
sire to defeat the evil eye-red be-
ng in all mythologies an internal
,olor.

In three days housewives Of the
territory had bought up and carried
home stock of staple foods grocers
said was equivalent to their usual
thirty-day supply.
Many men sent wives and fam
lilies to the country, to vacation
camps-anywhere to get them out
of the city. Sunday San Francisco
was a deserted city.
The picture was a striking dem
onStration of the dependency of a
community on a minority Of its
workers.
Violence during the night was
comparatively rare and of minor
consequence.
But the citiZenry, a large portion
of it sympathetic with the cause of
the strikers, was aroused to its own
interests.
Reports that federal troops would
be called in were denied. Passes to
and from the Preside of San Fran
cisco, where federal troops are sta
toned, and also leaves, we're cur
tailed. Restrictions were clamped
down on entry into the military res
