Preservation of Furs. Good furs are each year becoming more expensive, so it behooves those who have them to. give them 'special attention. The Russian methbd of cleaning furs is excellent. Put some rye flour into a saucepan and heat as hot as the hand can beer it, stirring constantly; spread the flour ova the fur and rub well into it, brush thor- oughly with a clean brush or beat gently until the flour is removad..This method is for. dark furs. For white furs such as white fox or ermine, dip a perfectly clean whisk- broom into pure alcohol find mop the fur well with it, rewetting it often until the fur is soaked. Have ready as abund- tune of powder etarch and with a flour dredger fill the wet hairs'full of starch, working it down into the skin with the fingers. Then dry, powder again thickly and shut up in a box for two days. Beat out the powder in the Open ale with a whisk, shake ind•toss until free of starch. If moth larvee are, discovered.in furs, a solu- tion of acetate of potash mid spirit of roeernary, 15 -grains to one pint, will destroy them. Neck 'furs should' be carefully wrapped, never packed tight- ly, or the,fur will flatten. Muffs should be hung on a rod, stiffed with paper to keep in form, and furs not in a moth -proof closet ihould be carefully sealed in tar paper, or if newspaper ,must be used, camphor, moth flakes .or spices had better be Put before sealing, as one is not always sure that every stray egg has been' destroyed.

Like the vast plains and dumb for- ests through which they roam, they are by nature sombre, and a laugh is as much of an outrage to them as a thrush's song would be to the forest silence. CHAPTER V. If Anstruthee had not been young and reckless,.and the ladies accastom- ed for years to look upon all Indians as inoffensive, there would have been but little sleep in the white people's camp that night, The Indians clid not sleep. Through all that long night the hun- ters of the Chilcotens sat round their fire, smoking and muttering among theinsIves, casting now and again evil glances toward the spot where the white people lay. Constant contact with men, armed with weapons& of precision, has taken the courage out of the grizzly; it has had the same effect upon a tribe which is naturally one of the boldest and fiercest in Western Canada, but the instincts* of the savage remain, and anytme with half an eye would have recognized that ug ow in the forest gloom as a storm centre. An hour or two passed by, the night deepened, the drone of growlinglioices went on and then a figure detaehed -itself frora the gloom and slipped without a sound into the firelit circle. Just than Jim Combe stirred in his sleep, and throwing one arm rest- lessly from his blankets, turning over on his side towards the Indian's fire, muttering in his sleep. As he did so, the figure glided back into the shadows. The bushes which Seemed to have crept nearee to the fire listening, uhtil their' back leaves were tipped with red light, ewa11owe$1 him up and for a full minute .the deeming ceased. The silence.which followed was more ominons ,even than that incessant mut- tering, The intent scrutinyof those watching !eyes made itself felt, At last the chief spoke, "The white clog de'eams in his sleep," he said, "but hie es are shut," and at once the figure returned and tOok its 'place in the niuttering circle. Good hunter as Khelmyna was, he made a mistake.' His ferest training should have taught him that the hunted feign often. If he had remembered that, Jim Combe might not have recognized, m the fifth figure Bevies murderer, an Indian who had been wanted by the police foe that last.three' years. As it was, Jim Combe knew What kind of a gang' was travelling the Risley sun that fall, and the hand which was be- neath the blankets' closed quitely round the lock of his Winchester. But he did not stir in his place. He wanted that indn's life as every cow- boy in the district dui, who had ever heard of poor old "Lofty" flart, $hot through his cabin window as be read his home letters by lamplight, but he eyes not prepared to risk the safety of the Women for the chalice of ,taking a .neurcleree. So 1.1e lay still and Watched, hie wholebody crying out for sleep and hie half .closed lids heavit as lead. Just before the grey dawn came into the sky, he saw Khelmena hand Something to his visitor,' who put 'it into his elehe 'front and rising stole away. One of the dogs, which had lain all. night just outside the edge of ehe fire- light, rose and attempted to follow him, It was his own dog probably, for though it cowered at the chief's low 1 growl, it took no other notiee of his command. Stealthily one of the younger bucks'reached for e hfilet of wood, and huelect it with so sure an nime that the beast rolled over screein-i ing with pain. With a w,ell feigned street Jim Combe eat up in his blanicets, but he I was too late. Davies' murderer had , vanished. " "Guiles .dog," said the Indian who had theowri the billet, and rising went after the beast, which was crawling: away on its belly, dragging its hind 1 leg after it end howling at every movement. ' The dumb beast is not allowed to • I ' ' I , d as this one would net cease howling; Mie bigger brute chibbed it over the head' with a great tent peg; elefiebed it until it last very still That is the Indian method of male- ing sleigh dog ' obedient and one reason perhaps whY no Indian dog ever shows any sign of affection for its matter. When the beilit lay still tbe Indian passed a rope round its neck and tied it up to a tree. The dog was not dead yet, and as it might possibly be .mad'e to work again, he did not want to.lose it, but it was too nearly dead to bite, so he took ono of its hind lege and moved it side- ways. The leg moved eas' By from the thigh in a ghastly unnatural 'fashion, and the Indian laughed. "Leg broke " he said. His shot with the pine bille't had been a good one. tinder that grey blanket by the white man's fire a toyer ,of dogs felt his flesh creep and his hands clench, but Jim Combe, having been trained in a hard school, had learned when to interfere and when to bide his time. He could not help the poor beast now, and his first duty was to look after his boss's wife and that dear curly little head under the blue robe. After this the grey dawn beganlo come, a Sad weird light, sifting through the pine frees, whilst the fires died down, and the tink chick-a-dees began ti call among the boughs, warning their woodmates that those silent footed things who use the "fire -stick" were moving_again in their lairs, and would soon be creeping up towards the -high places whither the full -fed stags were already saunt- ering for a day's, siesta after a long night's feed. With the first hint of light, a busy stir began in the Indians' camp, even before that the women must have been moving in their lean-to, for Emma bent and old, began to put out strange-, ly compounded packs, blankets rolled manecal t. corded, and bloody parcels of Then the lean-tos came down, and they too were dissolved into packs, ancl • d hd come, the In- dlan camp was completely dismantled, tl pack-horsesloaded with hides and meat, and everything ieady for a start. The Indians were apparently not go- ing to stay to cook breakfast. It had been a successful hunt even for the Chilcotens, and every living thing in camp, except the braves, car- ried packs. Of course the braves would neither pack any thing nor al- low their 'saddle horses to packed so long as there was.a tottering'old woe man, a child, or a dog in camp, which could Possibly be made tO stagger un- der another pound. • • When the procession had wound away into the woods, the toothless Id princessleading,bendingunder a mountain of rugs, followed by bundles - under which tiny bare legs tottered, and dogs upon whese backs clattered pots and pails, by the fire there still lay one bale of cedar matting. The young buck who had thvown the pine billet came round, kicking. the charred, sticks and peering amongst the young pines stripped, of their fea- thery' frondage, and growing giants, brutally, gashed and wounded so that their life -blood would ooze slowly away from them, leaving them dry arid fit for the camp fire, but though he turned over the brush bedding and looked at. every extemporized peg on vvhich anything could have been left hanging he found nothing.. The camp was empty, nothing had been left behind. Then his eye fell upon the bundle of cedar matting. It weighed nothing, so that ho might h tiad it behind I ldl ; it was worth nothing, so that he might have loft it where it was, but his eye wandering around to find some one on whom to lay the worthless burden fell upon his victim of the night before, crouching where it had been tied, Its head stretched 'out along the groom!, net dead, but vowering to escape no- tice. ' That was just what the Indian was looking for. Seizing the dog's rope, he untied it from the tree and dragged the tenhappyebeast towards the pack. At the first jerk. the -clog howled with angeisb, and Mrs. Rolt, whose ears were always open to a beat's cry of pain, turned sharply on her heel. The howl was of course rewarded with a cure and a kick, and than, screaming at every movement, the poor brute was jerked along the ground, its broken bones rincling together as it went. In its agony it tried to bite its tor- mentor, and in a: moment a elub was in his band again. • "Oh, won't someone stop the brute," cried Kitty; almost in tears, but the elder woman, white with rage, said nothing e With her. riding c1'Op in hci hand, a-IA.11er fine TIOStrilS Wide and twitching, she was almost 'within striking distance of the Chilcoten, when a strong hand eaught hes and swung he;' unceremoniously out of the way. "You stvine," she heard, as she was pushed on one side, and though it was not pretty English for Anstruther, her heart Went 011t to the boy for it, as his fist crashed into the big Indian's face, dropping him like a pole -axed ox. Kisheenew, for it was the chief's 5011, struggled toehis feet. "Want more do you," drawled the English voice, now quiet and steady, and again the fellow went down and Anstruther stood over him heady to repeat the do'se , as often as the man should re- quire it. evoman's voice cried to him, "The rifle, Frank; the rifle " and he was °MY just in time to ptit: hie foot upon it before the figure at hie feet had got possession of it, ' At that moment a man who had come running back from tending his !horses stepped, white -lipped and stern, in front of Kitty Clifford, ao that she saw neither Kineeshasi. nor the other Indians who had returned at the sound of the fighting, but she heard a rifle ehot ring out, and if she could have seen froin where she stood, she might have seen Jim square his shotilders and: put his head back like a man who prepares to take a shock. But neither Anstruther nee Jim fell. Khelowna, though he had fleed point blank into the group, had not clared Lis nuich as that yet. It was only the wretched dog which, with a strange instinct, had crawled for preservartion to Mrs. Rolt, that hulled over under her very feet, and stretched itself in death. The blood of it splashed her skirt. IThen Jim jemped forward. "Drop them guns, you dogs," he roared. "Anstruthere cover those men and stand still. If they stir, shoot.

In order to depress the Belgians re- maining in their own land the Ger- mans are spreading stories as to the probable duration of the War and the iinpossibility of the Allies' attempts to regain Belgium by force of arms, says a Rotterclamietter, The estimate of many officers is that the war will last for another two years, during which thne, they assert, the Allies will be exhausted, while Germany, now that a new road is opened to the *East, is perfectly as- sured of all she needs, despite Eng- laiwis . o c, many of the Germans are far from comfortable over the threatened spring offeneive of the Allies, about which apparently they talk more than the Allies thernselveo. In rnany places immediately behind the fighting line they are actually as- sisting some of the inhabitants . to leave the country. Some women who have come from Rulers for assistance declare they were advised to leave by : German officers, who helped them to make up their minds to leave by threatening that if the German army was foreed to reteat they wou e- stroy every house in the place. i While this form of "frightfu/ness" is going on in West Flanders, and among the French speaking Belgians, , the.Germans are doing their hest to ingratiate themselves with the Mem: ish section, and panting many facili- ties to this party to increase its hold : on the country.

Have Accustomed Themselves to the Noise of Explosives. Bird life along the battle front ap- pears to have been little disturbed by the contineal thundering of the guns. Birds disappeared from the war zone after the battle of the Marne, and some naturalists attributed their mi- gration to the din of war. They came back again, however, and little by little accustomed themselves bo the noiee of explosives and even find an advantage in being close to the con- flict whore, theta is ample nourish- ment ;mound the soldiers' quarters. Doves and wild pigeons are the most abundant, while there are many cuc- koos, thrushes, crows, magpies 'and jays. Starlings are very common, nesting, in trees as close as they find them in the trenes. Monsieur Louis Rousseau, a wall -known ornith- *gist, has discovered that the war has ehanged the character of these birds and made them thrifty. He has founci their nests in the holes of dead oaks, with a provision of breaderumbs stored away prudently underneath. Doves fly about between the two iines, paying no attention to the bursting shrapnel, and none of them appeaes to be afraid of eithee aeroplanes, ob- servation balloons or dirigibles. Buzzards are everywhere along the front, end they seem to 'find particu- lar emusement in circling around the observation balloons. Monsieur Rousseau finds game very. abundanb in the section, of the f tont where he is, clue partly to the sup- pression of shooting since the 'war be- gan, but mostly, he thinks, to the in- vasion which drove game ahead of it toward the Marne. Deer and stag are very numerous, in spite of a great deal of. poaching on the part of the peasants. On the other hand, rabbits are very rare. Wild boars are seen in places they were hever_ known to from:metea litter of wolves was feund in a. ditch beside the road near which territorials were digging a trench, and two others weie found in an &sande oiled, trench, 1,550 yards away from any Stream.
