I am thinkthg of the little coat, hat, leggings, and mitten outfits of white or pastel -colored broadcloth (pale blue, flesh color, or buff).

Reluctantly David turned, but be- fore he could move away his arm was caught in the clasp of fluttering white and gold -cased fingers.

Simply for Auction Sales De- pends More and More Upon - Produce of Fur Farms. The steady and consistent growth of fur farming in Canada during the Past (lamas. has, UndoubtedlY, peen one of the outstanding teatimes of the fur Industry. From a small begin- ning fur farming has grown until to- day there is a, fur farm of some de- scription in every province of the Do- minion. At the en1 of 1922 the Fed- eral Bureau of Statistics undertook. a survey of ,the tur-tarming industry In Canada and its report shows that i'tere are 1,009 farms, comprising 900 fox farm, 17 raccoon, 13 mink, 3 skunk, 1 marten, 1. fieher, 4 karakul, 5 beaver and 6 muskrat, This is an increase of 197 farms ' over the previous year. The census shows' there were on the various farms 21,433 silver fixes, valued at 0,272,262; patch or cross foxes 1,357, $100,7551 red Roxes 435, $8,626; miscellaneous fur -bearing, ani- mals 6,645, 189,345, The total num- ber ot all kinds was 29,870, and the total value $5,570,988; comparee with 23,105 and $5,977,545 in.1921. • It will be ...noticed there was an increase in the number of fur -bearing animals of 6,665, but a decrease in value ot $406,- 457, .The decrease in value is largely, accounted for by the drop in price of silver foxes. The average value of silver foxes in 1922 was $250, while for 1921 the average was $322. Fully Qualified. Butcher -:—"Well, do you think you can out up and serve a easterner?"

The Canada -France Exposition Train On iuly 16th the Canada -France Exposition Train, consisting of some 30 specially constructed motor coaches containing samples of Canadian manu- factured goods and products of field, mine, forest -and riVer, left Havre on its three months' tour of France, the itinerary including stops at practically all important cities and terrairating -at Paris on Mintier 8th. It is to Sweeter Charles Beaubien of Montreal that the eredit tor this moving exposition of Canadian pro- ducts =let be given, and it ie only after some y -ears of constant work and propaganda that it was finally brought to fruition and the support of manu- facturers and the Canadian and French Governments setured, Inter- viewed en the sullied, Senator Beau. bien ie reported from Havre to have CHAPTER XXIII.

It 'wee a pretty sad bench of quacke that tinkered with the bed, ily ills of elm ancestors, however. The first really' great physician was HIP pocrates, the Greek, who lived be tween 450 and 347 BO, and was known as the *Father of Medicine. Greek tradition made him a descend- ant of 2Eseulapluse the god oVinedi- eine. Hippoerates wrote 72 books on needieine.

Then Leek; Pasteur, the French scientist, got in- terested in what made beer Spoil He time discovered germs, and Proved that there were billionof them runs sfaing riot th sick liquor and in the bodies of anon and animals, canting all sorts Of diseases. He turned from wine and hem' to mad dogs, isolated the gerin that was causing rablee or hydrophobia, and invented a serum Shat would stop It. He founded the first Pasteur institute in Paris in 1988. To -day those lifemaving stations are located all over,the world. . Increase in Sale of Pelts. There :vs,s it satisfactory increase in the number and value of fur -bear- ing animals and pelts eold last year, as tompared with the preceding year. The number of animals sold in 1922 was 4,220, value $925,140, compared with 3,431, value $871,205 in 1921. To these totals silver foxes contributed 3,679 in'nuraber andl e897,387 in value in 1922, and 2,920 in number and $843,976 in value ft 1921. A total of 5,626 pelts, valued at $549,464, were sold in 1922, comprising 4,512 silver fox pelts valued at $525,408; 376 patch or cross Sox pelts, valued at $17,303; 374- red fox pelts, value $4,449; and 364 miscellaneous pelts, value 12,304, Compared with 1921 there was an in- crease in the number of pelts field, but a decrease in value. With the gradual eettlement of land in the northwestern parts of Quebec and Ontario and Western Canada, and the retreat of fur -bearing animals into the north, fur manufacturers have be- come more an& more dependent upon the pelts of animals raised in cep- tivity, At the preeent time silver fax skins put up for auction at the vari- ous sales are largely made up of those raised' on Canadian fur farms, In ad- dition the farms also supply large numbers of mink, red fox, cross fox, marten beaver, muskrat anti other , • How would you like to lie on- an operating table— perfectly conscions, with nothing to deaden the pain while a surgeon carved at you for au hour or -so?. That's how it was done up to • about 1860. In 1800, however, Sir Humphrey Davy started a' slow revo- lution insurgery when he discovered that by inhaling nitrous oxide gas ("laughing gas") the patient c.oula be rendered sunconscious. It wasn't till fifty years later, however, that it came into general use. Meantime, Parraday, in 1818, discovered' the use of ether, and in 1141 'Sir Samos Simpson first used .chloroform.
