Me„ Awls foxes a more profitable crop. than potato or hay, and so 11e long ago quit planting and lxooiang and mowing, and is now devoting his entire attention to raisin the o sharp-eyed grad bushy -tailed little animals, whose An is in; great de- mand always and everywhere. When Norton bogalt raising foxes it was an experiment; now he has the busi- nese established on a highly profita- ble basis, and his sunny hillside farm on the banks of the Piseataquis is known as the best paying piece of land in Maine. Tho Norton fox farm is not . the first in Maine, for foxes had been 9ttecessfully bred by a man in Heron Island, Dootlnbay Harbor, for years before the Dover, enterprise was thought of, When Norton got ready to go in- to the fox business he visited the Heron Islend farm, and ono on Prince Edward Island, in the Gull of St. Lawrence, to get points, and al- so to buy some breeding stock. Then he started, in to boat the original fox farmers, and be has succeeded. Being an old hunter, and knowing the ways of faxes, Norton at the outset recognized the fact that to be healthy, and thus profitable, his stock must be contented, and to in- sure that happy condition he so con- structed and arranged his inclosuro as to diepol the idea of captivity - which foxes cannot endure, Ile built a fence 16 feet high, of a heavy and specially woven wire, to keep the foxes in and to keep other animals out. Six inelosures thus formed covered about one and a half acres of ground, and in each of them is a kennel, built ofwood and set deep into the earth, serving as a nursery and es a den for the foxes in win - tor. d g FENCING THE FARM. At first a few of the foxes escape by burrowing down under the fence but Norton stopped this by carryin the wire down tour to eight feet t the solid ledge. The whole far has been allowed to grow up with rank grass and weeds, so that it r sembles the native haunts of the f in the wildwood, and Norton's sto does not stem to realize that it living in captivity. A stranger vl iting the place sees at first only a rank growth of weeds and under- brush, the foxes all scurrying to cover at his approach, but on lookig closely one may detect here and there a pair of bright eyes peeping out at him from the tangle. The Norton foxes are as wary and alert as ever their ancestors were in the wilds of Maine, Ohio and Alaska, from all of which regions the colony has been recruited. On the farm are common red foxes from the woods of Maine; blue foxes from Alaska, silver grays from Prince Edward Island, and blacks from Ohio. The rods are the com- monest and - least valued of foxes; blues are worth more; but the silver grays and blacks are the aristo- crats. As a matter of fact. the black and the silver gray are the same breed, a silver gray being a black with a sprinkling. of gray hairs. The black fox pelt is among the most valuable of furs, line speci- mens frequently bringing $300 to $600, while in several instances as high as $1,000 to 57,200 has been paid. Ordinarily a black fox pelt is quoted at $200 to $250. Norton had not been long in the business when he made the im- portant discovery that it is possible to reproduce black and silver gray foxes. Naturalists say that these rare specimens are simply freaks of nature, being liable to appear among the common reds at any time, while their progeny is more than likely to wear the plebeian red coat. Norton has discovered, however, that by in- breeding it is possible, in the course of time, to eliminate the red and produce the genuine black variety. BY ALFRED MA'NSELZ, QF SFIREWSBITRY, ENG, Objections to Legislation for Pro.. teetion to Woo/. Grow - ere, The objections to the,propoeod Governmont Bili are rather. strongly put by the Textile World, fe pepsx judging from its mute, which has its svtupathlee mainly with the n a e u ala ufa b a xs, T'lie state F e Y t that i the bill becomes late no fabric con- taining the slightest proportion of wool will come into the.' Drifted States, for there is no method known to ntan of determining how much of the wool in a fabrie has been and bow m0ct1 has not been subjected to a manufacturing pro- cess before it reached the mill whore it was last converted into cloth. This, 1 ani informed, is incorrect. The Bradford Condltioning house can determine what any fabric is made of by actual percentages, It is `stated that the Custom House officials can distinguish cotton, lin- en, silk, and certain other fibres from wool and woollen shoddy; but they will bo forced either to refuse admission to the goods or accept the etatement of the importer as to how mush wool shoddy there is in the cloth. TEIE NEXT OBJECTION has reference to the enactment that all goods manufactured prior to the passage of the Act, and which had passed out of the hands of the man- ufacturer and the ingredients of which are not known, shall be label- led "Manufactured prior to the Pure Fibre Act; composition not known," The article ]n question contends that the manufactured goods thus Placed under a ban would approach in value $850,000,000, and by label- ling them they would be cast under suspicion regardless of merit. This, I take it, could be minim- ized to a, great extent by postponing the bill coming into operation until a year Ot' so • had elapsed from its becoming law. When margarine was sold as but- ter a great hue and cry was raisetl, and rightly so, because the fat of an ox was being sold as the product of u the cow, and now, forsooth, because; 'hie simple microscopic examination e I(as is the ease with margarine) will I not disclose the fraud, we are told in ox this article that no attempt must be made to protect the public and • ensure their bin able to purchase being p .

Another difficulty that the writers see is that honest manufacturers of goods containing 90 per cent. of wool would tag them as mixed or shoddy goods, whilst the dishonest L URALGIO PAINS ARE A CRY OF THE NERVES FOR BETTER BLOOD, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make Rich, Red Blood and Dzsave These Pains From the Sys- tem -Read the Proof. A high medical authority has de- fined neuralgia as "a cry of the nerves for better blood," and to ef- fectually drive it from the system the blood must be made rich, red tend pure. For this purpose there is no other medicine so prompt and ,sure in result as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, These pills make new, rich, red blood with every doss„ and ha- pound of iron and sulphur, contain - part new life and new vigor to the ing as much as 58 per cent. of the . t person using them.

That there are many difficulties in the way of getting practical legisla- tion on the subject cannot be de- nied, but the importance of promot- ing honesty amongst manufacturers and protecting the people from im- position demands the serious atten- tion of the Legislature of all civil- ized countries, because, as a matter of fact, it really concerns the masses of the people more than the filteep men who are directly interest- ed, because under present conditions all the poorer classes are entirely clad in the adulterated goods. There can be no question that the majority of noon and women who go into a shop to purchase woollen goods have no knowledge of the ex- tensive fraud daily perpetrated in ,selling them goods largely composed of substitutes for wool, and that 90 per cent. of the buyers have no idea that when asking for woollen goods they are too often purchasing, an article froom which raw wool is con- spicuous by its absence. This presses heavily on the labor- ing and artisan classes, who practi- cally never get anything except so- called cheap goods, but which would be more truthfully designated if call- ed low-priced goods. It is contend- ed that even if the Price were some- what enhanced, the genuine woollen garment world give a. greater 007u - fort and health, wear much longer, and in the end prove much more eco- nomical than adulterated goods.

Go Slowly, Tread on Ball of Foot and Don't Lean Forward. Those etaire will be the death of nae yet l You have heard the ex- Preseion of such sentiment, if, indeed you have not felt the probability of the same unvoiced prophecy, says a writer in Medical Talk, Girls complaint to nue of backache, and quitlay say.. "You know I have to go up and downstairs so moon. this year." The flights to which they refer are in a town hall .; the steps are high and the flights are long -yet Some can climb them se"- eral times a day and not have a grumbling back or any other uncom- fortable result: The secret lies in the way they do it. A girl is putting a severe strain on her back when she goes up stall's using a heavy, fiat -footed tramp. She is uncomfortable, the heavy step jars her spino and Mead, and to make the ordeal as short as possible she hurries, and possibly runs. Na- turally the body remonstrates at such unjust treatment. I have watched carefully' the man- ner which most people adopt and think you will agree that this is a very - common spectacle, One woman I frequently see ascending stairs leans so far over that when she. turns the spiral she invariably puts her hands on the upper stairs. Try another way if you want to feel all the exhilaration and buoy- ancy of an excellent exercise. Keep the weight well over the advanced foot, with the chest the furtherest point forward. To strike only the ball of the foot on the stair gives buoyancy of step to most people, although some claim they can place the whole foot lightly on the stairs to good advantage. Be sure and take your time, Re- member you are lifting the weight of the body many times, and it is 110 light exercise. The work the back has to do ought to be no greater going upstairs cor- rectly than when on a level. The legs are the members of your bodily community which ought to Perform that service for you. I have known medical -authorities to recommend walking up stairs cor- rectly as good exercise for reducing prominent abdomen and relieving in- digestion. Therefore, the .commonly conceived bugbear of some housekeepers may become a boon. They ought to 'each the top of the stairs exhilarat- ed, feeling the glow of healthful exercise.

The purpose of washing coal is to free it as nearly as practicable of all matter that reduces its heating ca- pacity, or has a detrimental effect upon the metal produced with such coal, or with coke made from such coal. The impurities in coal are Of two kinds, such as are chemically pas- sive, but which do not produce heat, but, on the contrary, absorb heat and clog the openings in the grates by forming ashes and clinkers; they lutist be. repeatedly handled, shipped and freight raid for them and are a burden all around. The other kinds of impurities are chiefly iron pyrites, an ore tom - i The mechanics of civilization are at present so firmly based on coal !that statistics of the production of the precious black fuel always pos- sess an absorbing interest, Accord- ing to the latest official figures, the United States and the ,British Em- pire are running a close race in coal production, During the year 1900 the former produced 44,901.,889 'metric tons, and the latter 247,938,- .725 47,938,.725 metric tons.
