The Way Little Californians Bring Down
the Lovely Hamming Birds.

During the last two or three years, or
since tickle minded fashion has decreed that
birds as well as feathers should be used to
ornament the heads of the elite of feminine
society, new source of revenue has been
opened to the natives of Southern Cali
fornia. Santa Barbara, being the land OF
flowers" is necessarily the home of the
delicate little humming bird, which lives
upon the distilled pollen or bee food of our
gaudiest fora. In q glass case upon the
counter within the drug store of A. NJ
Ruiz was discovered two rows of dead hum
ming birds, each with their little " feet
turned up to the daisies g The trade is
recently developed one,n said Mr. Ruiz.
" 1t IS less than three years old, but it is
steadily growing We do not propose to
engage very largely in it, as it is not exactly
in our line, which is drugs and perfumery
but we find a profitable market for all We
can obtain"
birds p queried the reporter.
g The little boys bring them in. There
are four or five little Californians who live
in or near town who are experts with slung-
shots, skillfully manipulated improvement
upon the continuance used by David to kill
Goliah. Small pebbles or teaspoonful OF
small bird shot is used and when propelled
by our little humming bird hunters bring
in on an average about five birds a day."
"Why do they not use nets? It would
Ja1;o
of these little bird"
g Nets would be better, believe, but the
little Spanish children are used to then
little sling shots, aud are as skillful With
them as are their fathers with the tiara, and
woe to the humming bird at which one OF
these little boys discharges charge of peb-
bles or bird shot"
:. Is there money in the business 2"
No, not worth speaking of. Ipay from
ten to fifteen cents each for the bird, and
then dress and stuff them and ship them
to San Francisco. Then l am paid at the
rate of fifty cents each for the female COM
mon bird aud seventy-fiye cents each for
those male birds Of the brilliant plumage."
:. Is there more than one variety of hum
ming bird in the market?'
Yes, we have four. There is the
fiery, OF that bird you see there with the
red flaming throat. Then there is the sui
phuretted or yellow bronzed bird. Next
the ordinary male, which has green and
red plumage, and last the brown, unbronzed
female bird"
What is the extent of the trader"
Last year we sent of less than q thou.
and birds. We could have found market
for three times the number exported"
In continued conversation it was discoy-

birds, the best and prettiest are selected and
shipped direct to the fashion centres in
Paris and London, where they command Q
high price. Santa Barbara Press
