PELTS BY THE MILLION.
London Fur Sales One of the Marvell
of the Commercial World.
An interesting sight in London is
one of the great periodical sales of
raw skins and furs held ,nt a fur
warehouse in the city. The magni
tude of the trade and the vast
amount of money invblved would
surprise any one who visited one of
these sales for the first time.
At the premises in Great Queen
street one can wander from floor to
floor piled with thousands upon
thousands of skins until one begins
to wonder where all the creatures
they once clothed lived.
Upon the “bear floor,” for in
stance, some 10,000 Russian bear
skins are at times to be seen. These,
however, represent only the number
which is to bo disposed of at a sin
gle sale.
Some of the smaller and com
moner 6kins, such as raccoon and
opossum, are handled by the mil
lion.
Skins of foxes of various species
are imported in vast quantities, and
it seems marvelous that so many of
these wily creatures are secured by
the hunters. The prices of foxskins
range from a few shillings each up
to huge sums for a skin of the king
of all furs, the exquisite silver fox.
As much as $2,. r i00 has been paid
for a single costly skin, which can
be found in fairly large quantities
at most sales in the Russian sable.
In many parts of the world ani
mals are reared and farmed either
partially or solely on account of
their furs. Thus in Switzerland
enormous numbers of goats of a
special breed are kept upon the
mountains, their skins being uti
lized generally for hearthrugs and
motor clothing. Rabbit skins, too.
are of so much commercial value
that the breeders of Dutch rabbits
make a special study of the color
and texture of the furs.
The most wonderful fur farms in
the world are to be found upon the
wild islands which dot Prince Wil
liam’s sound, olf the inhospitable
coast of Alaska. In these far north
ern regions enterprising individuals
have established colonies of blue
arctic foxes. These creatures can
not be tamed, but they are fed all
the year round and trapped in spe
cial houses in the winter when
their coats are in a suitable condi
tion.
Occasionally a bundle of boa con
strictors’ skins i9 sent over for sale.
They make good purses.
The great sales are attended al
most exclusively by the “trade,” as
the skins are all imported in the
nw state.—London Graphic.
was carried to the rear, where the
surgeons cut away his clothing and
found and extracted the missile.
The general became much interest
ed on seeing it and insisted upon
I sending for an aid-de-camp in
I spite of the medical admonitions
against exciting himself. When
the aid appeared the general called
out to him:
“Go straight to General Meade
and tell him the enemy is running
short of ammunition. I have been
wounded with a tenpenny nail.”
Complete in Christ.
“And ye are complete in him.”—
Col. 2;10.
To be complete means to be per
fect, and entire, lacking nothing, for
we know if there be any lack of the
least part of anything then it is not
complete; take your watch, with all
of its delicate machinery, and if
there be but one of the smallest
pivots broken, then the watch will
not run because it is not complete
in all its parts, and it is worthless
as a timepiece until repaired and
made complete. So it is with every
one of us. We are not saved from
our sins nor prepared for Heaven
until we have a complete righteous
ness.
Then the question is, how shall
we obtain such perfection; for we
know that there is no such thing as
absolute perfection in our life, be
cause it is written “all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God,
there is none that doeth good, no
not one.”—Rom 3-12, 23, then so
far as our own righteousness is con
cerned, it is wholly incomplete, be
ing of ourselves alone, it is no bet
ter than the cause which produces
it, no water can be sweeter than the
fountain from which it flows, so then
no life can be any better than the
heart out of which comes the issues
of that life, then to find the real
character of the human heart un
renewed by g ace we need only to
see Jer. 17:9 “For the heart is des
perately wicked and deceitful above
all things and who can know it,"
what a sad commentary! and yet the
very best that can be said of a de
prave human heart, for the word of
the Lord is true and always express
es in truth, the best that can be said.
Whence then can a lost world look
for hope? and to whom can a lost
soul look for that perfect righteous
ness which alone can save?, seeing
that it is not to be found in fallen
The Unique Mr. Whistler.
Whistler hud the readiest wit, his
repartee being extraordinary, while
his jokes against himself were just
as good as those he hurled at oth
ers. His daring recklessness and
disregard of the rules which control
the actions of ordinary human be
ings made him unique. He was al
ways late for dinner, arranging his
immortal lock of gray hair in its
proper place as he came into the
room, with apologies and excuses,
none of them true, of which he was
perfectly conscious and also of the
fact his host and hostess knew that
they were not.—Lady St. Helier’s

A Green Sponge.
Sow a large white sponge with
rice. onN or wheat and place it for a
week or ten days in a shallow dish
with water in it. As the sponge
absorbs the moisture the seed* will
begin to sprout. When this takes
place suspend the sponge from the
top of the window, and it will be
come a living mass of green, requir
ing only a little occasional moisten

A Matter of Punctuation.
What would you make of the fol
lowing: That that is is that that is
not is not is not that it it is.
This shows the importance of
punctuation, for. behold, how sim
ple the whole thing becomes when
properly punctuated. Here it is:
That that is, is; that that is not,
is not. Is not that it? It is.
humanity, we must turn to some one
who is free from all sin, who is him
self divinely perfect in holiness, and
; complete in every grace, this calls at
tention to Jesus, for he alone came to
this world. Complete in every grace,
and full of power, able to save to the
uttermost all who come unto God
by him, for it pleased the Father,
that in him should all fullness
dwell, Col.l:19, now think for a mo
ment of the goodness of God, who
hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and translated us into
the kingdom of his dear son, in whom
we have redemption, even the for
giveness of sin, and those who were
enemies by wicked works, now hath
he reconciled in the body of his flesh
through death, to present you holy
x x x in his sight. Here is reveal
ed to us, the way of life by faith in
Christ, that by his righteousness and
not our own, we are made complete,
when we turn to him for hope, and
accept him as our own Savior, we
may enjoy the blessing of hope, rep
resented as the riches of the glory of
this mystery, made known among
the gentiles, which is Christ in you
the hope of glory Col. 1:27.
Here then is the perfection and
holiness which is in every one who
loves Jesus, both old and young, and
that which makes every one com
plete in him, the fact that he is in
the heart and life of each one, for it
Christ be in us the hope of glory then
our faith is the gift of God, and such
is a complete faith, also our trust is
the same divine gift, and removes
all gloom and doubt for it is written
that none of them that trust in him
shall be desolate Ps.34, then there
comes the strength and comfort of
complete hope, which stays the soul j
in all the conflicts of life, and catch-1
es a vision of future glory, which
hope we have as an anchor of the
soul both sure and steadfast, and
which entereth into that within the
vail whither Christ, x x is entered,
a complete hope, and finally the
ever abiding grace of love, which is
the sum of all the graces, for love
is of God, and God is love,” there
fore to have Faith and Hope and
Love is to have God in Christ dwell
ing in us, the hope of glory, how
true then, that those who accept
Jesus are complete in him.
