Trappers and Skin Experts Give This Title to the Black Fox, In the estimation of trappers and rita as voyageurs as in the eye* ern of then very rids nobility of Russia and Siberia, there is only one ling of beasts, and the naam; of this beast is the big and radiantly shining black fox, which roams ever the cold and barren hillq that stretch from east of the Penob- scot river in Maine, through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and, skip., ping' the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. extend in diminishing hum- mocks through western Labrador and end in the hillocks and Laurentian formations which surround Hudson. Bay. Those who seek . the choicest and most expensive furs known to. man and who will pay any price for what they want must go to the bleak coast line of eastern North America for what they want and may have to wait for years to secure pelts that will inatelh perfectly with other skins whieh are to get toward making up a set, for the black fox of North America -le reynaril noir of the French hunt- ers -wears the most vntuable overcoat of any animal on earth, As a rule, about ,Ave perfect pelta from black foxes pre captured every veer, and of these three are bought by the sweat Hudson Bay Fur Co. or its tributary associations, Though 5'laine alone furnishes more than 70.- 000 foxskins every year and though nearly 5.000 active men spend most of the winter in trapping and poison- ing Totes and other animals for their furs, only twice, in the run of twelve months are the combined efforts of these individual hunters able fo .se- cure a black fox. -In nowaw except in color does the black tox differ from its congener, the red fox, whose pelt sells for $3.50, or from the gray fax, whose overcoat is valued at from $150 to $400, but When- ever a hunter can secure.a black fox and remove its akin 'without marring the fur he is as sure of receiving from $800 to $1,500 for his trophy as ,if he had the money in his hand. Not only iso every y b la ek fox pelt bought as soon as taken, but a dozen Russian noble- men have paid agents traveling in North America all through the winter, seeking out remote hillside farms and abandoned logging camps, where it is possible that a shy and elusive black fox may have been seen. -Chicago lecord-Herald. STILL VASTER SURPLUS. More Money Came in Than the Fin- ancial Minister Expected. A total surplus of eighteen mullions .and a net reduction of seven and one- half millions in the public debt of Canada are foreshadowed in the monthly financial statement just is- sued. ° The statement is declared to be the most encouraging in Canadian history. The Finance Minister in his last bud- get estimated the surplus, at only 13 millions. All the figures are not yet in, but the receipts for the nine months period of the fiscal year end- ing March 31st, total $67,138,594. An. other two millions is expected, which would put the revenue four millions above the estimate made by Mr. Tield- ing In November. The expenditure far l p resa on consoli- dated account is $45,905.802, with ac- counts scounts of slightly over four millions still outstanding. The total net debt shown on the 31st of April is given as $257,010,430. Customs revenue for the fiscal year was $39,770,588, and excise revenue $11,843,585. On capital account, for public works; railways and canals, the sum of $8,610,356 was spent; for militia, 3597.052; for boun- ties:,, 31,007,705; for railway subsidies, $1,324,889. Fish Seek Canadian Waters. The agreement to submit to a joint American -Canadian commission the question of uniform fishing regula- tions for the Great Lakes and con- tiguous waters is of vital importance to an industry that on this side alone employs some seven millions of capi- tal, and mar.kete a product of three millions. As in other international dis- putes, one of the initial difficulties is that a question on witch the Cana- dian authorities have adopted a uni- form policy is hero handled by the eight States bordering on the lakes in eight different ways. Some of our States have closed seasons; others, using the same waters, have none. Some are active in restocking the fish- eries;, others do little but catch the fish their neighbors have planted. One of the remarkable assertions made in all seriousness by a correspondent of The Chicago Tribune is that the -fish themselves have 'developed an in- stinct to "seek refuge . in Canadian waters." That is certainly evidence of our waatefal policy, from those who should know most about it. -New York Post. A Game Law Anomaly. A peculiar anomaly has been found. the new Gama Protection Act pass- ed last aebsion by the Ontario Legis- lature. Ii• is in 'connection with the keeping of game after the beginning of the` close season which hid been lawfully killed during the open sea- son. 'Accordng to -clause 40 of the act, gine may 1rel sept from •the end of dee open semen until the first day of Tannery of the following year.

Randall of Pennsylvania was an avowed protectionist Democrat and a man who, his colleagues bad learned, usually was able to get his way. Randall had first entered con. gress in 1862. He was a quiet, per- sistent, hardworking person who at- tracted ttracted little attention for sereral years. Then the Republicans, sure of their majority and wishing to expedite business, undertook to adopt rules which would prevent obstruction. The quiet Mr. •Itandall set himself against the attempt. He led the small Demo- cratic majority with a skill so unusual that morethan once be blocked the Republicans' way until it was too late to pass the measure. His endurance seemed unlimited. Frons one session lasting forty-six hours and twenty-five minutes, where Randall had forced the roll to be called seventy -live times, he came out as fresh as he went in. At another time in the fight over the force bill he wits on the floor for sev- enty-two eventy'-two consecutive hours. - Ida M. Tarbetl fa American Magazine. How Piutea Catch Quail. The Plutes have a uulque way of getting quail. For them there is no closed season or, indeed, any game law whatever.

An amusing incident Is told of the absentmindedness of the late Justice William G. Keogh of Ireland. it was at a bar dinner at bis own house, and he bad excused himself from the guests, who had already assembled, to go up stairs to dress. Time went by, but he did not reappear. The company sat patiently for some time till at length, when their appetites were get- ting the better of their manners and they were about to send a messenger In quest of their absent host, he ap- peared end explained with many apolo- gies that lmagining that he was retir- ing for the night he had undressed and got into bed. After an hour's sleep he awoke, and it suddenly dawned on him that his guests were waiting to dine with him below. Small Fruit Cultivation.

A string was tied around his neck. The Gila monster was crawling around on the ground, trying to get away, but was pulled back by the string. This was carried on till the creature became furious. The crowd strewed the Glia monster knew nothing of hili power to spring. Suddenly he sprung up and bit a man among the crowd en the hand, leaping tulIy two feet ,from the ground. "Another instance, this of a man whose ,chief object seems to have been a,foglhardy display of fearfessneas- ae was holding one of the monsters in his hand by the back of its neck, so it could not bite him. He dropped his band to the side of his leg. The Gila monster shut his teeth down on his heavy duck overalls, taking a double piece out where the cloth fielded as quickly as a pair of scissors could. have cut the fabric and as cleanly." Hopi Indian Traditions. The Hopi Indians of Arizona have no written literature, but an Almost boundless store of oral traditions, which are handed dbwn unimpaired to each gehieration in turn and whieh form the guiding principle of their re- ligious belief and of their whole life, says the Craftsman, Every clan, and there are a number of family clans making up the various Hopi towns, hiss its own kiwi, or underground cere- monial chamber, -entered by a ladder through a square opening in the roof, which is but a foot or two above the general level of the ground. Here the education of the boys is carried on, be- ginning at the age of seven or eight years. They areinstructed day by day in the literature, history and myths of the tribes, the priests being the teachers. Without writing and without books the Hopi have an ex-, literature, t nslve e and that the utmost accuracy is observed in its oral trans-. mission from generation to generation Is revealed by certain comparisons with the records made by the Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century.
