Charles Whimple In Magazine Of Art
The best time for seeing perfect feather
ing Is In the winter. or onward TO the
spring: then. after a very short honey
moon. the birds settle down to domestic
drudgery with exemplary ardor, with the
result that at the end Of a few weeks their
tail feathers arc rough and irregular, their
pinioDs worn and ragged from constant
contact with the nest in sitting; and
by the time their new suit comes at
midsummer. they are more than ready
for II. The spring. Of course, Is the eli
max OF q birds life. With scrupulous
care he arrangcs hourly his feathers. all
their markings are seen to perfection, and
many peculiarities Of decoration are then
and then alone displayed.
The fieshy combs and protuberances
become scarlet and enlarged, and any one
who has not seen a pheasant or cock
grouse at this season Of love would be as
tonished at the alteration from his normal
state The cock pigeon swells that part
of his body most adorned with iridescent
feathers to make the grandest show he
can; and every humble finch and small
bird brushes up his modest fiuery.
1t Is said that not a single bright col
ored feather on any birds body is left idle
or undisplayed If birds have bright col
ored tails they raise them to their highest
and fullest and abase their heads;

out their plumes. their eye dis

and so drag all the feathers of the far side
round to the near side, making such Il
huge mass that the face is nearly hidden.

About four years ago. Col. Frary. presi
dent Of the Bridgeport Cutlery company,
while on a tour through Europe, visited
many Of the cutlery establishments in
Germany. Hamburg. and England. The
manufacture Of razor being In a print
tive state In this country. he decided that
he could do no better than 10 bring over
some OF the workmen to the United
States. The workmen In She1eld, Eng
land. were. as . rule, members of the
trades unions. mi Col. Fary had con
siderable didiculty in engaging the men
whom he wanted. A few months later he
had the satisfaction of seeing forty OF
them with their families sailing for this
country. accompanied by the secretary Of
the trade union In Germany and Ham
burg he engaged sixty men. and at once
shipped them and their families to this
country. Separate rooms were fitted up
for the newly arrived rAkormakers ia the
shops at Bridgeport, the Germans being
in one part OF the works and the English
In another.
Col. Frary said: II had . great deal
of trouble with my men at first. ! did
not have nearly as much trouble with the
Germans as with the English. The lat
ter demanded . separate work-room apart
from all the workmen in the factory. II
one Of the men in my employ wanted to
enter the room while they were at work
they would throw down their tools and
would not resume their labors until the
visitor had closed the door behind him.

whom they would let into the Dom with
out stopping work. A peculiar feature
about them was that they would not work
after 12 o'clock noon on Saturdays.
Whatever money was left after buying

spree with until the last cent was spent.

Many n literary man and politician
keeps his brains in his serap. book.
Charles Reade was a systematic scrap

the largest and completest lot of scrap

paste aud index every good thing they
find in the papers. \ very convenient

inches long, six aud one-half broad. and
four deep. When you take the lid off
you sec twenty-six compartments, each

fold it up and slip it in the 81" depart
ment of your biography-box, and it is

you want to throw away n clipping all
you have to do is to draw out the slip.
For busy people this is a capital ar

kept on the boxes, and the boxes should
DO kept in a desk or case.
