First of all. when an Indian arriees to trade at a Hudson bay post, then, fürs in the pack must be »orted, sil ver f X worth $500 separated from cross fox and blue and white worth from ten dollars down, according to quality, and from common red fox, worth less. Twenty years ago. says an article on Hudson B-ay company, in Frank Leslie’s Popular.Monihly.it was no unusual thing for the Hudson Bay company to send to England yearly 10.- 000 cross f<>x skins. 7.000 blue. 100.000 red. half a dozen silver. Few wolf skins are in the trapper’s pack, unless par ticularly fine specimens of brown arc tic and white arctic, bought as a cu riosity, and not for value as skins. Against the wolf the trapper wages war as against a pest that destroys other game, and not for its skin. Next to muskrat, the most plentiful fur will be that of the rabbit or varying hare. Buffalo was once the staple of the hunt er. What the buffalo was. the white rabbit is to-day. From it the Indian gets clothing, tepee covers, blankets, thongs, food. From it. the white man who is a manufacturer of furs gets gray fox and chinchilla, and seal in imitation. Except one year in seven, when a rabbit plague »pares the land by cutting down their prolific numbers, the varying hare is plentiful enough to sustain the Indian. MEMORIAL BELL FOR AUTHOR. “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die,” said the poet most truly. It is an immortality which comes in larger measure to but a chosen few. One of these lives in the heart of every school boy who has declaimed from the rostrum on Friday afternoon the stir ring words of “Spartacus.” lie may not know whose brain fa thered the lines he is making embryot ic oratory out of, but the author lives on. nevertheless. The late Rev. Elijah Kellogg, for 50 years pastor of the Con gregational church in Hguswell, Me., was the writer of those oft spoken verses, says the New Y’ork Herald. In recognition of his writings, as well as his long pastorate, a memorial bell to his memory has been recently hung in the belfry of the house of wor ship whose pulpit he filled so long with his kindlv presence. His ministry ex tended over a wide field in the pas torate along the shore of Casco Bay, and many out on the deep, as well as those safe in the harbor of refuge, will hear the far sounding deep tones of the new bell and glow with remem brance of a good man gone to a well- earned rest from his labors. COSTLIEST DRINK ON RECORD. One That Queen Victoria Took When She Conferred the Title of Dake on the Earl o4 Fife. What is probably the costlieet drink on record, coat its recipient 11,750, says the Philadelphia Press. When the earl of Fife—as he was then- became the husband of Princess Louise of Wales. Queen Victoria, at the wedding breakfast which followed the happy ceremony, drank to the "health of the duke of Fife.” The drink cost the semi-royal bride groom the amount of his letters patent confirming the dukedom. Letters patent accompany the con ferring of a title on an individual. They take the form of a royal man damus, and the issuing of the docu ments is a costly matter, which has to be borne by the ennobled; $500is prac tically the amount of the fee a new knight has to’pay for the letters pat ent conveying the royal authority. A baronet's liabilities are about the same. When a "Mr.” or "Sir" is advised of the royal intention to elevate either to the dignity of baron, the letters patent conveying the royal authority carries with it a fee of $750; of a vis count. $1.000, an earl. $1.250,a marquis, $1,500 and a duke. $1.750.
