Birds and Fashion

1t is said that owing to the present style
of decoration tor ladies hats, that some va.
rieties of small birds are likely to be entire
~ exterminated. In England, the house
hold robin is becoming scarce fiom this
cause; while the king6sher, the fnches and
yellow hammers are scarcely procurable.
The sea-gull has furnished an almost count
less number OF wings, with which to CON-
plete the saucy looking hat OF the stylish
belle, who never thinks that she is wearing
the price Of life. An exchange recom-
mends that if ladies must wear feathers in
their hats, they should stick to the ostrich
feather, as these being in perfection only
when the season of moultlng comes, are
dropped with no injury to the bird; and
now that domestication of the ostrich is
made a practicable project the supply can
be made equal to demand.

A w arning.

An exchange gives detailed account Of
the workingsl of dangerous class of men
who are travelling through rural districts
cheating the farmers. 1t reads as follows:
The s'agent" will arrive at q country
town with several boxes of goods, and i'm
mediately proceed to livery stabie and en-
gage horse and wagon to travel through
the adjacent country. He usually makes
arrangements to have the proprietor of the
stables to accompany him, thereby secur-
ing man who will introduce him to the
best and wealthiest farmers in the neigh
borhood, without thought of wrong. They
drive up to farmers house and the agent
is probably introduced to the whole ho.se-
hold. BE then throws down piece of
cloth, which he assures the honest farmer
would cost him $50 in any clothing store.
The cloth is examined and found to be Of
very fair quality. perhaps worth fally the
amount. So
The agent throws down three or four
more pieces which are shoddy, but which,
are sach good limitations that the unwary
do not notice the fraud, having satisfied
themselves that the first piece was good.
The agent throws down piece Of silk
enough for a dress, and then very good
'imitation Paisley shawl. ,"Now, says he
I will let you have all for $3.50, and take
your notes payable in two, four and six
months" The farmer buys and gives his
note for six months at 10 percent. interes
On the back of the note is blank which
the agent, to protect himself, requires she
farmer to fill out. Here he states the num-
Der OF acres Of land be owus, whether there
are any incum brances upon it, the amount
of personal stock be has and also other ev.
licences Of his wealth, and this statement
himself and wife are requested to sign.
These notes are discounted at banks when
possible or with the rich men in the neigh
borhood. There is no hesitancy in cashing,
as the statement on the back of the note ia
thought security enough for all demands.
Should the farmer deny the statement en-
dorsed on the back be is liable TO charge
Of perjury, aud consequently pays up when
due.
