wrought by the study. These parts
were acted out In a creditable and
laughable manner by the members of

The 'musk ox Is another of the fur

As It Is. only small herds of about
twenty animals are to be seen now.

markets find ready au.
The musk ox Is a heavtiy-bullt ani
mal, about three test in height and
having large, peculiar-shaped horns.
The color of the male is dark brown,
while that of the-female u so much
darker as to be almost black; the
enure body Is covered with long hair,
the under-fur being sort and -grey in
color. When made up It makee a
very attractive garment
The wild cat is another American
fur-bearer- which la steadily decreas

wish to exterminate the animal as
well as secure Its pelt
In form and color the wild oat
closely resembles the Canadian lynx.
After being dyed It makes an excel

state Its color is a greyish hue with
dark brown or black spots on its
back, sides and limbs, with an Irreg.
ular dark line here and there.
Handsome as it is. the tur of the
wild cat Is rarely used In the making
of ladies' fur apparel, and It Is not
likely to become very popular tor
any use except the making of small
robes and rugs.
Unless protective measures are
taken soon, however, these animals
and others of more general use will
become entirely extinct in a few
years. The better skins are so scarce
even now that unless you choose
your furrier with the utmost caution
you ars likely to find you have paid
a genuine price for an Imitation tur.
