Nevertheless, the statement 'of Marcel Sembat, French 1lfirrister of Palle Works, that the tsar costs France $10,000 a minute is lik, sly to raise the eyebrows, for a ntleMent, of all those who realize that Moir children will have to pay the bill.. Ten thousand dollars a minute equate $14,400,000 a day, and $5,- 256,000,000 a year. Premier Asquith, In .opening the meeting to secure pop - eller support for the $5,000,000,000 N English loan, said that the British ex- penditures were about $15,000,000 a day; Russia, Italy, ,Austria and Ger- many are sowing their wealth with the same prodigality and reaping the Same crop of unnamed graves. M. Sembat asks: "How will it be possible to pay the debts contracted sr the interest on the loans and at the same time keep up as costly arm- ies and fleets as in the past without renouneing expenditures for social reforms which impose themselves to- day upon all civilized peoples?" It will not be possible; and armies and Ileeti are notlikely to be abandoned. The next generation will have no sur- plus -wealth to carry out the plans, which a year ago seemed realizable, e for, social hygiene, for scientifie re- seareh ai�ct'fe tl?e;,beinging of an ap- portunity for happiness into tte iike- — of every human being.

We are destioying the monuments of the past which embalm en unrepeatable act in the huFnan drama, such 'as the Cathedral of of Rheims or the Library of Louvain; we are slaying the beings of the. present.

There used to be a legend that the hardships of campaigning strength- ened the constitutions of those who escaped the missiles of the enemy. Professor Landouzy, dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, has made reeently an important pronouncement London Hospital, Landouzy forecasts that the war will contribute at least 20,000 tuberculosis patients to France alone.

The long-haired Angora rabbit is a native of Asia Minor. Its name is derived from the province of Angora, where almost all the animals of what- ever species have •long, fine, silky hair. The long, thick wool of the Angora goat and the Angora sheep, indeed, has long been a well-recogniz- ed article of commerce. The Angora cat, which came originally from that region, is also remarkable for its long, beautiful fur. The beauty of the Angora rabbit early attracted attention, and it was introduced into Europe over a hundred years ago. The peasants of Switzer- land, Savoy, and Flanders have long bred the animal, and in those countries Angora rabbits are a source of con- siderable profit. The soft, furry "Angora" caps and mittens that are so popular are knit fronr yarn spun from the hair of the Angora rabbit. The hair is not shear- ed periodically, like the fleece of sheep but is combed off every few months. In the course'of a year some three- quarters of a pound of hair, valued at more than two dollars, is obtained from a single animal. Not only caps and mittens, but stockings, wristers, scarfs, vests, leggings, socks, under- wear, shawls, and other articles are knit from the soft warm yarn. The Angora rabbit is not uncommon in this country. Adult rabbits bring from. $3 to $5 a pair. The best An- goras are pure white with pink eyes,' Iu 181.. t3I5ClNT, CANP DIRECTIONS as i,n ;.Mn THIS R IS COMPOSEDptOF INE tees AND NO dE OTHER PHOSPHATE 0l-0AR& ONATSOFSODAAND STARCH. LWeliti'ZOhTp y 4115 sd w .mr and their hair is ten or twelve inches in length. There are also gray An- goras with dark eyes, and black An- goras. Like other rabbits, the Angora is prolific; eight or ten young are born at a litter. The rabbit cages are us- ually kept in a well -protected yard or beneath a shed, and stand two feet or more above the ground. When the - young rabbits are a month old, the. hair is combed as often as once in ten days, in order to keep it free from knots or matting. The combing causes the rabbit very little inconveni- ence; in fact, it helps the ,frequent moltings of the little animals. The long, silky fur appears when the rabbit is from three to four months old, and it is then plucked by hand about every two months.' From one to three ounces of fur is removed each time. The fur is kept in a paste- board or wooden box, lined with pa- per, and protected from moths by means of a bit of camphor or naphtha- lene. Before the spinning begins the, fur is picked over by hand. Bunches of fur are then put in a carding comb and worked upinto long skeins. The spinner winds a skein loosely about his left hand, and with the right hand gradually pulls out a fine thread, which he attaches to the spindle of the distaff. As a single thread does not possess sufficient strength for knitting purposes, it is necessary to make a three-ply yarn by combing the threads from three spindles into one. The finished yarn is wound upon a spool or made into a skein ready to be knitted into any desired article: r, A Tre en OHS ff *ging of Peaches to the,, N• i" t e.
