The Skin of the Silver For la Elteed4
Hy Rising In Value In

,A,* peel deal has been written e
late /Pare RAI to the possibilities of
raising foxes tor protit, says Rod and
Qun Itlr. T. L. Borrowman, Of Wy.
Q111111g, Ontario, .is believed to be tha
pioneer in the field ea fox raielug in
;confinement In Ontario and he has
met 'with a good deal of 511CO2.55. In
the Gonree of a recent Interview ho
said: "The breeding of the diver fax
is comparatively new, and is so full of
little points and conditions that are;
required to make a success of it nt
\the start, that few, unless they have
acquired some knowledge beforehand,
are .successful at first. The silver fox
is our most valuable fur -bearing ani-
mal. His skin is steadily advancing
in price, and within the last five years
has advanced over three hundred per
cent. At the Lampsou January Per
sales in London, England, 1910, there
were skins sold that brought as high
as $3,000, so it is easily seen now how
profitable a business it is. It eves at
one time thought that the silver fox
would not breed in captivity, but they
are now reified quite successfully in
wire pens, They breed once a year,
in March, their young numbering from
three toenine, according to: the age of
the mother. The puppies attain their
full growth by fall, and the stock is
generally disposed of by then. I sell
almost all my surplus stock alive, es
there are a great number of people
eager to start into breeding them, I
have been in the business for the past
sixteen years, but owing to not know-
ing how to handle them, was unsuc-
cessful for v. number of years, but now
I have the best of success with the.m.
I think I have one, of the most profit-
able businesses in Lambton or Any
other country."

The W. C. T. U. will hold a prayer
meeting on Friday evening at .eight
o'clock at the home of Mrs. John Moi -
row, Patrick street.
The regular meeting of the W. C. T.
U. will be,helcl on Tuesday, April llth,
in the C. 0. F. Hall, at 3.30. Every
person interested in the worla is cor-
dially invited to be present.
Rev. L. G. Broughton says of the
cigarette: "Lhave been through the
cigarette factories of North and South
Carolina and elsewhere and what I say
I know to be a fact. , The bleached
paper in which the tobacco is. wrapped
is thoroughlyesteeped in arsenic. It is
made M China, a heathen production.
We cannot make it here thoagh we
make at it; and make a more danger-
ous article. It is this arsenic that gives
the finger ends of a cigarette smoker
the dirtyarellow colqr, always so plain.
It is generally thought that this color-
ing is produced by nieotine, but I know
that it is not. Do you ever see it on
the fingers of a man who smokes.
cigars? No, but there is as =eh nico-
tine in one cigar as in a barrel of cigar-
ettes. The poisoning comes from • the
arsenic, and it is this . miserable viper
that first enters the brain of the smok-
er, after being absorbed by -the blood
in tha lungs where it is thrown to be
purified, and instead of that is loaded
with impurites."
The cigarette smoking is denounced
because of its blighting, blasting effect
upon one's success in life; because it
draws off the energy, saps the vitality
and force which ought to be made tell
in one's career; because it blunts the
sensibilities and deadens the thinking
faculties; because it kills the ambition
and the finer instincts, and the more
delicate aspirations and perceptions;
because it destroys the ability to con-
centrate the mind, which is the secret
of all achievement.
A very interesting motto adorns the
wall of Chalmer's Presbyterian Sunday
School, Toronto. It was evidently a
gift of the Brotherhood Chapter in that
Church to the School', as a reproduc-
tion in .colors of the Brotherhood Button
is appended to the motto. It reads:
I am not much of a mathematician,
said the cigarette, but I can

'Fire on Tuesday practically wiped
out a number of firma doing business in
the Scott Blocky a three-storey brick
building on Main Street /t originated
in the top storey, and was discovered
about 5 a. rn. The cause is unknown.
The heaviest losers are F. Holm:quad,
lawyer; lir. Fisher, dentist; Edge and
Cutteridge, contractors; W. IL Sertith,
grocer; and Alex. Wilson, druggist and
stationer. The total insurance on build-
ing and stocks was, about $14,000, but
that will not cover the loss.
SURROUNDED BY WOLVES
Blind River Man Killed Two, the Rest
Being Driven Off
A. story of an attaek by wolves upon
a hunter named Thomas Koswack 12
told by a local pacer at Blind River.
Koswack was hunting in the neighbor
hood of one of the Hope Lumber Com
OanY's camps when in the dark of the
evening he was surrounded by the
wolves. He shot and killed two, but
still the fierce, anhnals pressed upon
him. Fortunately, however, the noise
of the wolves and the shooting at-
tracted the attention of. those at the
camp, and reinforcements arrived in
time to drive off the wolves. The hun
ter believed his life' to be in danger,
and thinks he was saved only by the
arrival of assistance. Bounty was
claimed upon the two animals killed.
