Muskrats and ' Other Fur Bearing Animals Plentiful. International . Falls, Jan. 2.— Muskrats are being' caught in large numrbers by Minnesota trappers. Last year, because. of high water late in the fall, almost no muskrats were found. That they were not destroyed, but merely migrated to inland wat- ers where they were less molested by hunters, seems to have been the case, for they are back on the Ralny river agnln this, wlnter in greater numbers than for many seasons. The price of muskrat skins is soar- ing along with that of all other furs. Where. two years ago twenty-five cents was considered a good return, they are now bringing forty and even fifty cents. fisherman on the lake, not to mention ‘a fair representation of farmers and townspéople, have turned rat hunters and the skins are now being brought into town by the hundreds. A buyer purchased 700 in a single ‘day last week all caught within a few miles of town. With the ice thm on lhe sloughs as it has been the past month most of the hunters in lieu of setting traps for the muskrats are catching them with spéars. it is the habit of the creatures in building their homes of mud and weeds in the shal- low waters near shore to construct funways from the bottom of them to the deeper waters where they go to seek lily and other aquatic roots for food. The fishermen can plainly see these runways through the ice. They _watch for the muskrats ito come into them from their houses and as soon as they spy one, stick a long slender sharp pointed rod down through the ice into it. Then they chop a hole and drag the victim out. A good many mink are still trap- ped .. Mink pelts are selling at $5 to $7.. The hunters are also capturing a good many skunk. The great popularity of white fur has given enhanced value to skunk pelts. The, white portions are cut ‘trom the sKins. and sold under other names, while the black that is left goes to the'market as marten. * BE-APPOINTMENTS. MADE.

One hears so much about false “old masters” and fake art treasures that it is interesting to recall the following anecdote, which is vouched for by M. Jean Bernard, so well informed on all that concerns art and artists. The story concerns & Rembrandt, which formerly figured at the Antwerp mu- ‘seum, under the description of the ‘Jeune homme a la cuirasse,” during the exhibition of Rembrandt's works. ‘To-day the canvas belongs to the Ger- man emperor. Twenty years ago the owner of the picture went to a col- lector, M. Seldemeyer, and showed him the Rembrandt, offering to sell it to him for $1,600. M. Seldemeyer in turn showed the picture to his usual experts, who declared it to be an imi- turned to the owner, with the remark that he could not get a couple of guineas for it in Paris. The possessor of the “Jeune homme a la cuirasse” said nothing, but took the picture to M. Antonin Proust, who at once recog- nized it"to be one of the best examples of the great Dutch painter, The Ger- man painter Knauss, purchaser for the imperial museums, happened to be-in Paris at the time, and when the Rem- brandt was shown to him he immedi- ately offered to buy it, and the deal was concluded for $1,600. The trans- action was one which the German em- peror has never had any reason to re- gret, for if he wished to sell the pic- ture to-day he could easily obtain broidered sock for. #ome " fii nmmpp. Aumhm- $100,000. DEVICE OF VENETIAN PRINTER. Aldus Manutius Author of System of » Punctuation. ...Punctuation by means. of stops and points, so, as to indicate the mean- ing of sentences and assist, the reader to a proper enungiation, is ascribed originally to Aristophanes, a gram- marian of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the third century B. C. What- ever his .system may have been,. it was subsequently neglected and for- gotten, but was reintroduced by Charlemagne, the various stops and symhols being designed by Warne- fried and Alcuin. . ; The present system of punctuation was introduced in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manu- tius, a Venetian printer, who was re- sponsible for our full - stop, colon, semicolon, comma, ‘marks of inter- rogation and exclamation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quo- tation marks. These were subsequent- 1y copied by other printers, until their ‘| use became universal. Most ancient languages were inno- cent of any system of punctuation. In many early mahuscripts the letters are placed at equal distances apart, Wwith no connecting link between even in the matter of spacing, an arrange- ment which must have rendered read- ing at ‘sight somewhat difficult. Liberty—Principle and Sentiment. No theory is of much service in the matter without a character responding to the theory—without a feeling which prompts the assertion of individual ‘freedom and is indignant against ag- gressions on that freedom, whether against self or others. Men care nath- ing about a principle, even if they un- derstand it, unless they have emotions responding to it. When adequately strong the appropriate emotion prompts. resistance to - interference with individual actions, whether by an individual tyrant or by a tyrant major- ity; but at present, in the absence of the. proper: emotion, there exists alk most everywhere the miserable super- stition that the majority has a.right to dictate to the individual about every- thing whatever.—By Herbert Spencer, in letter to M. D. Conway. - Beneficial Sneeze, ‘There is. no more sure cure for an attack of faintness than 'a hearty sneeze. It immediately stimulates the blood vessels of the brain. In many persons fainting never goes so far 23 a loss of. consciousness or loss of control of the limbs. And in' these the sudden weakness is often brought to an end by a sneeze caused by ns- ture herself without any external aid. A grain or two of pepper, snuft or to- bacco introduced into the nose or tick- ling its interior lightly will usually insure a sneeze. These simple proce- dures o others similar in character may prove invaluable when' smelling salts and other elegant aids are .ab- sent. e ~Musloal * Conductor.: “I.want to make complaint of one ot your conductors,” “said the’ fussy patron of a car line; “he is always whistling or singing while on duty.” “Well, I can't see that there:is any| harm fn that,” replied the superintend- | ent. “Rerhaps. not. ‘But I.didn't know: 'mwimnmu-muuw Guctor. regulation, |. tation, and the next day it was re- | Hlsodssa: w:u'o?laz the ear.
