LONDON FUR SALES A FIZZLE
Fairbanks—President B. 0. Wood,
of the First National Bank today re
reive 1 a telegram from Alfred Frazer,
the American representative of the
great Knglish fur house of Lampoon
i Co. regarding sales inLondon today.
After having passed the usual fall
and winter sales periods Lampson i
Go. advertised an auction sale for
March 24th. and according to a tele- j
grant the affair was practically a fail
ure.
There was no sale whatever for
mink skins. Marten, lynx and red
fox skins sold for 40 per cent of the 1
prices last March while beaver sold 1
25 per cent under last years market 1
Bear skins alone maintained the
same value.
This simply means that until the .
present war is ended and the people -
ean recover from their enormous ex- I
penditurcs that furs are considered i
too great a luxury for general pur- i
' 'base and the fur market is dead ex- !
■opting for local use. It Is a mat
ter of serious importance to Alaska
and the interior in particular—Fair -

A Blunt Excuse.
There is a stroy of an English clergy
man who had taken temporary duty
for a friend and who had the ill luck
to injure his false teeth during the
week. The plate was sent to the den
tist for repairs, a faithful assurance
being given that it should be returned
by Sunday's post, but the dentist or
the post proved faithless.
With the assistance of the clerk the
clergyman managed to stumble through
the prayers, but felt it would be use
less to attempt to preach. He there
fore instructed the clerk to make some
excuse for him and dismiss the congre
gation. But his feelings may be better
imagined than described when, in the
seclusion of the vestry, he overheard
the clerk in impressive tones thus de
liver the excuse:
"Parson is very sorry, but it is his
misfortune to be obliged to wear a set
of artful teeth. They busted last
Wednesday, and he ain't got them
back from London today, as he was
promised. I've helped him all I could
through the service, but I can't do
more for him. 'Tisn't any use for him
going up in the pulpit, for you wouldn't
understand a word he said, so bethinks
you all may as well go home.”
Wagging the Ears.
You will rarely find that a man who
can wag his ears suffers from deafness.
The reason for this is very simple.
Wagging one's ears exercises them
just as much as walking exercises the
muscles of the legs. A great deal of
deafness is caused by the muscles of
the ears becoming stiff and refusing to
respond quickly to the sound waves.
Quite a large proportion of children
can move their ears, just as they can
move the skin on their forehead up and
down, but as they grow up they lose
their power through want of practice.
It is a mistake to let a child lose this
power, for it may mean the difference
between good and bad hearing in after
years. Dr. M. Fernet, the famous Par
is doctor, has even gone so far as to
suggest that people should be trained
to wag their ears, just as they are
trained to exertlse any other muscles
of the body.—San Francisco Chronicle.
