PROFITABLE DEAL IN FOXES Treasury of the United States Bene- fited and the Value of the x Broed Increased. In ihe spring of 1921 the bureau of blological survey directed attention to the fact that the blue foxes on some of ‘tbe Aleutian islands are deteriorat- ing turough inbreeding, and that there was. a desire on the part of the na- tives and others to secure animals from the Pribilot Islands. for restock- Ing purposes, In order to assist In-bullding up.the blue fox industry of the Aleutians, where climatic conditions appear to be favorable, the introduction of new blood from the Pribilofs was accord- ingly undertaken by the bureau of fisherles, and eight live blue foxes were 'placed aboard the coast guard cutter Bear at St. George f{sland Sep- tember 15, 1921. One pair went to L. A. Lavigue, lessee of Unalga is- land; one palr to the Unalaska Native Brotherhood, lessees of Avatanak Is- land, and two pairs to N. E. Bol- shanin, lessee of Kavalga and other islands. The purchasers supplied | shipplng casés and transportation was at thelr risk, All' the foxes were received at Una- laska In good order and were prompt- 1y placed on the islands under lease to the varlous persons concerned. The price charged for each animal was $88.12, this being the average realized for Pribilof blue fox skins at the sale at St. Louls February 21, 1921. The amount recelved for the eight foxes was $704.90; $5 was allowed natives of the Pribilof islands for each fox secured, and the net proceeds, amount- ing to $664.06, were turned into the treasury of the United States.—Fish- eries Service Bulletin. SOME MERIT IN SUGGESTION World Would Certainly Be More Col- orful If Woman Would Dress as This Article Desires. “If some women are so anxlons' to dress like men why don't they iniitate the masculing styles of a loveller day and age than the present one?” asked an elderly drtist.the other day. He polnted out the lack of beauty of the existent garb for man and then he recalled the silken dandies of Shake- speara’s day. “And wouldn't the women of today ook’ nice In those attires?” he asked. “The imitation shirts and the stift col- lars that the women flaunt set me crazy, let alone the: cuffs and tortoise shell glasses, and now I even hear they're thinking of wearing bloomers and_trousers. “Well, let them revive the fashions of old when a tallor knew how to dress a man. Let thein wear the silzén-knee- and fringed with lacy cuffs, And then —ah! the accompanylng white silk stockings would be rather delightful, And that would solve the short-skirt controversy."

The cold bath in the morning is & soclal fetich: that makes two clear dividions of mapkind—the thoroughly hrink from the play with the hot water tap. As a cus- tom it may be peculiarly English, but one hears less of a varlation of it that hds respéctable authority, saya ‘Manchester *Guardia: Benjamin Franklin, while represent- Ing the American colonles in London, wrote in one of his informing letters ‘shock of cold water hath always ap- peared to me as too violent, and I have found it much more agreeable to my constitution to bathe in another ele- ment—I' mean’ cold ‘air. = With this view I rise early almost every morning and sit in my chamber, without any clothes on whatever, half an hour or an hour; according to the season, either 'Thé practice is not 1, but, on the con- and if I return to rd, before I dress myself, letimes” happens, 1 make a supplement’ to my night's rest of one g of the most pleasing sleep that can be Imaglned.” Franklin was sixty-two at the time. He had still to live twenty-two of the most active years of his extraordinary career, so that in his case cold-air baths seem to have done no harm. Franklin was before hig time in his belief in fresh air, and he wrote some savage things about the “serophobia that at present dlstresses weak minds and makes them choose to be stifled and poisoned ruther than leave open the window of-a bedchamber or put down the glass of ‘a coach.” FLOWER-POT AS BRIDEGROOM Unique Ceremiony Which Transforma Chinsse Qirl Into a Full-Fledged and Privileged Widow. China is stlll a land of strange cus- toms, one of the most curious being the ceremiony of & flower-pot mar- riage. ‘When the man whom a Chinese girl is to marry dies shortly before the date fixed for the wedding, the grief- stricken bride-elect. sometimes takes a vow never to marry. Should she do 80, she goes through the ceremony of wedding an ordinary flower-pot. She Is now considered a widow, and upon the parents of her intended hus- band falls the responsibility of main- taining her. Usually she goes to live with them. : ’ In ‘muny cases, especially where the family Is poor, great sacrifices are nec- essury in order that the daughter-in- law (as she ig now regarded) may be properly cared for. But the parents have no option in the matter. And, actually, they have no desire to shirk their responsibilities, for the faithful- ness of the “widow” brings great honor to tha bridegroom’s family, it being considered quite a disgrace should the bride-elect not wish to g0 through the ceremony uf marrying the ' flower-pot. In the days before Obina was a re- publie, ‘the ‘emperor, ‘upon ' the facts being bronght' to his notice, had a hanilsome monument erécted in com- memordtion of the “widow's” faith- fulness.
