Saratoga's Streets at Evening.

In the evening, after the drives are
all over and the ladies with cheeks
flushed with health and resplendent in
all their elegant finery appear upon the
verandas and the handsome, shady
street upon which most of the hotels
front, that Saratoga appears in all her
glory. 1t is a cosmopolitan and rather
democratic throng which sweeps to
and fro along these great thoroughfares
for the hotel xerandas are in certain
sense promenades and thoroughfares for
the summer visitors at least. 1t would
seem that all the wealth of the Indies
could not purchase the sparkling jewels
that flash upon white fingers, sparkle in
glittering sprays upon waves of jet black
hair or glisten at snowy throats in and
about some of the hotels at these times.
Saratoga has long been associated in
many peoples minds with mad extrava-
gance in jewels and dress on the part of
the ladies visiting here, but that day has
to a certain extent gone by, because
there has been an improvement in taste
in this particular, and the beautiful
truth OF tasteful simplicity has asserted
itself. Yet there are certain of the large
hotels where the old regime still holds
and the ladies still continue to lug
around fortunes on their fingers and in
their ears.

OSTRICH FEATHERS.
How the Health of the Bird Affects
Its Valuable Plumes-
OSTRICH Quicken Feathers are usel

Ostrich chicken feathers are useless
until they are year old; they are rare
ly cut before. at twelve months they
are cut off. The stumps dry, and after
few weeks the bird sheds them, or
they can be drawn out without pain
and with ease. The feathers then take
six months to grow before they can
again be cut. Three pluckings are OBJ
talnable In two years. time. The pro-
cess of p.ucking continues for many
years, but it requires the greatest care
to prevent the feathers from deteri-
Grating. The feathers from the wild
bird are the longest and finest, but
rarely more than three on one bird are
sufficiently perfect to render them fit
for commerce. Hence the necessity of
the farm. A male bird turns black at
about the age OF eighteen months. The
black and black-and-white feathers are
pulled from different parts of the
body; the white feathers come from
one row only in the wing; tail feathers
are never as white as those In the
wing, and are usually bleached for
tips" So little is known about TIE
habits of the ostrich that people are
surprised to find how the health of the
bird affects its feathers In many of
the best feathers is what appears to be
a line running across the feather. This.
may be, is not caused by the packing
string being too tightly tied, but by a
days illness. SO delicate are the feath-
ers and 80 intimately and so wonder
fully connected with the organization
of the bird that a days dyspepsia from
overfeeding or undertaking will leave
this mark. a delicate bird has its
feathers more or less marked through
out. Ostriches are not camped out for
breeding until the mail bird Is four and
the hen three years Of age. They lay
from ten TO fifteen eggs and incubate
forty-two days. The male bird IS a
pattern husband and father; il acei-
dent should overtake his mate it is
most usual for him to continue the sit
ting, and he has frequently been
known to bring off the brood success
fully. ''mothering" them with the
greatest care until they can peck,
which is not until three days after
Matching. The nest of the ostrich IS
always in the sand, and Is scratched
out by the male bird; the hen forms a
perfect wall Of sand round her with
her wings before the eggs are hatched.
The ostrich knows no fear, and is a
most formidable and dangerous oppo-
nent. Their cry. which answers to
cock-crowing, is deep below that can
be heard for a couple of miles, and is
called "bromming,n The depression
in ostrich farming has been caused by
an oyerstocked market. Naturally
those In climates suited to the bird i'm
ported them from the Cape. When
the steed was stolen. the Cape Govern.
ment locked the stable door; but alas!
the one hundred pounds premium on
every bird exported was too late a
measure to prevent thriving farms
growing In Australia and India, and it
Is with chagrin bordering on despair
that the Cape farmers find the retail
trade cleaning the profits.

THEY SIMPLY sCORN FLIES.
Fish That Weigh Seventy Pounds AMI
Swallow the Hook.

They fish with fish lines six miles
long In WInnebago lake, Wisconsin.
and use 10000 hooks on every line, {"
said a resident Of this place who had
been out there, ''and il they don't
haul up 900 fish every time they call
Il indifferent lseA. besides that every
fish will weigh from twenty to seventy
pounds. They ara surgeons, and the
! catching of them is a great business at
WInnebago lake.
Zone of the lines they fish with will
reach half way across the lake. 1t is
rope an inch In diameter. 1t Is car
ried out in the lake with boats, large
buoys being -ttached to 1t at intervals
TO keep it on the surface. The 10000
hooks, baited with pieces of meat or
fish, are lowered to the bottom of the
lake by ''snOOds' of the proper length,
which is fastened TO the main line.
1t taxes twenty boats, with two men
in each, to ,lOk after this big fish line.
Each boat has 1000 hooks in its
charge. The hooks are placed eighteen
inches apart, and TO bait all of them
at once requires 1000 pounds of meat.
1t takes forty men and twenty boats
ten hours TO set the line for the first
time. After that the fishermen are
constantly employed in going to and
from the line, hauling in the sturgeon
that have been caught, and r.baiting
the hooks where it is necessary.
ITO haul seventy pound sturgeon
from the bottom of the lake is an ex-
citing piece of work, but requires more
strength than skill, as tie fish always
has the hook several inches down his
throat, having sucked the bait and all
down without regard to consequences.
There is no danger of losing the fish,
unless the hook or Snood breaks. When
the fish is hauled to the surface a gaf,
like meat hook, Is thrust into the
side of its head, and the sturgeon is
drawn into the boat and knocked in
the head with heavy mallet, The
hook Is then cut out of the fsh's
throat, rebaited, and thrown back into
the lake.
"The average catch Of sturgeon is
one to every ten hooks. When a boat
is loaded with all the sturgeon it will
carry it is rowed ashore, where the fish
are taken in charge by helpers of the
fishermen and disposed of. The fisher
men know the particular sections of
the line on which they work by the ar
rangement Of the buoys. These are
placed ten feet apart, and every one
hundred and fiftieth one is painted red.
The space between the red buoys con-
tains 1000 hooks. The sections are
numbered, and each boat has its num-
Der corresponding to the section it
fishes. While the average catch is one
to every ten hooks, it is no uncommon
thing for the fishermen to find but one
or two on an entire section of hooks.
The next section may have 800 or 400
sturgeon hooked. That is the capri
cious way the fish move in schools.
"The Lake winnebago sturgeon is
highly priced among the lumbermen
and others in the region. Its flesh is
finer and of better flavor than the salt
water sturgeon or ALBANY beef of
the Hudson river, The fish sells for 6
cents a pound at retail. fresh. Large
quantities are Salted and smoked for
use In the lumber camps"

the egg smoothly, but do not beat the

in quantity as when the white OF
eggs is beaten to a froth first, before
adding the sugar; but that is the way
to make hard frosting which you do
not want. The soft French frostlng is
made BY a sort of cream-candy prepara-
tIon. Put q pound OF white sugar In

minutes. Then begin to try the mix
ture by dropping some OF 1t from a

it is at the right point. Remove it from
the fire to cold place; when cool thin,
jelly-like film, not sugaring over will
be over the surface. If it is'sugary you
must add few spoonfuls OF water, re-
turn to the fire and boil again, trying it
in the same way. If your ball OF cream
is too brittle or sugary put In speck

ten minutes; the paste should then re-
semble lard, which you can work like
bread dough. This preparation will
keep for some time. For yeur icing
melt it by standing the bowl containing
it in saucepan of boiling water and
stirring it until it IS like cream, Take
care that none of the water boils into
