valuable of fur-bearing animals and when
they mysteriously disappear from the back
fence they often find their way to the fur-
rier. It is an actual fact that in 1882 over
1.200.000 house cats were used by the fur
trade. Black. white, Maltese and tortoise-
shcll skins are most in demand. They are
made into linings and used in philosophical
apparatus. As for skunks. 350,000 were
used in this counti y last season. valued at
from 50 cents to $1.20. They come from
Ohio and New York principally and. as in
pursuit of the tiger and lion. the bravest
men are required.
“ There is a fair demand for monkey
skins. and «12,000 are used annually by

FRAUDS IN SHIPPING WHEAT.
A Philadelphia grain dealer says 2 “ The
ingenuity displayed by the Western ship
pers to hoodwink us and cheat their cue
tomers is something to wonder at. When a
car of corn. wheat or barley arrives at any
of the elevators we sample it for the park
or china pose of giving it a rate which will regulate
its price. Sometimes we find a layer of
good wheat on top of the load three or four
foot deep. and then. sandwiched between
this and the bottom layer. will be a foot , or
two of bad stuff. For the purpose of 'de-
tecting such frauds we use a tryer. an iron
tube with holes in the sides like pockets.
By plunging the tryer down into a load the
grain will drop through the holes into the
little pockets. and. after the tryer has been
withdrawn. by examining the pockets we
can easily detect anything crooked in the
portion of the load thus examined. as there
is a sample of wheat in the diderent pockets
from every six inches below the surface.
Sometimes bad corn or wheat is can-fully
placed around the sides of the car- with the
part of the load. The other day a car siru.
ilarly plugged arrived at Washington strait
wharf. The {mud wan quickly expised
which necessitated giving the car a low at.
ing. The shipper would have made about
$5 if the discovery had not been tirade. but
owing to the low rating he lost over 850.
There are mine shippers. however. whom
we have never caught doing such things.
and other! again are tripped up every little
while. Kansas. St. Louis. Chicago. and all
other grain depots in the West are similarly
amictcd. I have heard of cases where far-

THE ASTOR HOUSE-
A New York correspondent says: “'hat
interesting imam-indium are connected with
that conspicuous landmark of New York.
the Ash-r House I It was the first hfllt’l of
mammoth dimensions built on the Amcrb
can continent. It was patterned after the
'I‘rcmont of Boston. bi; :onstructed on I
larger Scale. “'hen John Jacob Astor dc-
molislied a block of fashionable dwelling
houses tenanted by some of the best familieo
in New York to erect this big granite edifice.
his friends thought the old capitalist was
foolish and visionary. but the shrewd Ger-
man. whose previous calculations had never
failed him. believed ditl'en-ntly. and he be—
lieved rightly. The house was ready for
occupancy in 1832. and it stepped at once
into popular favor. It became. under the
management of the older Stetson. a world
famed house. and for many years scarcely I
merchant or professional man of any pro-
tensions visited New York without paying
it some tribute. It had its Webster room.
and its Clay room ; these rooms were always
occupied resixvztively by Daniel Webster
and Henry Clay. when these statesmen were
in New York. which was quite often. It
was a great resort for Boston rnen visiting
the City. and is to-day. When the house
came into the possession of the young Stet.-
aons. althought well kept, its business began
to decline and the competition of the new
and elegant rip-town hotels eventually
brought its stairs to a pretty low ebb. The
Astor heirs. under the impremon that its
Gamer as a hotel was about ended. some ten
or twelve years ago leased the eastern side
of the house fronting on Barclay street for
omce purpms, reserving the Vcsey street
aide, with half the trout entrance. for a
hotel. This. with the rotunda. was taken
by Mean. Allen & Darn, who will doubt.-
. less oredong occupy the whole of the origi~
nalhouse. Above the Astor. where now
wands thc deserted marble~palace store of

town hotel. called Washington Hath—Boa
