A Talk With q Taxidermfst.

"We will undertake to preserve and
hX up any kind of a bird or animal, from
a humming-bird to an elephant" said q
taxldermist to a reporter for tho New
York Mail and Express recently, "and, I
might just well add, from u bee to mann.
moths"
care there many in this city who pur-
sue your art?"
About twenty. Too many altogether
Tor any of us to do any decent business.
1t Is not an easy trade to learn. Some
times a man may accomplish it in q few
months; sometimes 1T will take q much
longer time; it depends upon the natural
good Judgment and dcxtcrity Of the pu-
pill. A little carclcssncss or want of skill
will often spoil a job. In the D
ton of our subjects we use a large
amount of arsenic in a powdered form.
During the manipulation this powder is
shaken into the air and is inhaled by the
operator. AS arsenic is an accumulative
poison it will remain in the system until
there is enough to cause serious results.
Very often a man is compelled to quit
the business in order to save his life.
Lie insurance companies hesitate to take
risks on men engaged in our business.
Arsenic is used to preserve the skin, fun
and feathers of birds and animals. Sew.
eral substitutes for this poison have been
tried, but none of them have been found
to be any good"
"What do you most work one"
1--WE drive n thriving business in the
canary bird line. People bring their lit.
tie birds here to have them stuffed. The
owners are mostly ladies, and you can
imagine what n comfort it is to have thei,
little feathcred pets preserved in such g
manner that their beauty and form OF
feather can be seen and admired long
after their sweet voices are hushed.
"Love-birds are preserved in great
numbers. Cardinals arc somewhat rare.
and their plumage is so bright. colorcc
and beautiful, that when they die they
are seldom thrown away. There IS al
ways a ready market for them, and WI
will pay good prices for them. Love
birds are brought to us in pairs. 1t is
customary when one of these affectionate
little things die to bring it's dead body
and the living mate to us. We kill the
live bird and preserve the two together"
Gould the skin of a man be stuffed7n
"Ccrtainly in the same manner that a
monkeys skin is. 1 would undertake
the job, but it would cost a great deal OF
money. They say that the human skin
IS very much like the skin of a hog, and
that if subjected to a tanning process it
would be very thick and strong-the
same as the hog leather which is used fol-
saddles and trunks"

the aggregation of figures suggestive of
its extent"

"A comparative statement of the death

~deccnnials periods 1S71-1SSO and 1861

The Paris Figure has published an ar
tlcle on the "manufacturc of skeletons"
in which the writer says that lust outside
OF Paris there is an establishment where
human bones of all sorts are collected.
and after being carefully prepared are
fastened together with wires, and when
the work is done it is impossible even for
the scientific eye to detect anything
wrong in a skeleton that has been made
up from the bones of several different in

Perhaps no more striking illustration
OF the wonderful reproductive powers Of
certain insects could be given than that
contained in a new work by Mr.. Theo-
dorc Wood, an English ~cntomologist. It.
is assumed, first, that 100 aphidcs weigh
no more collectively than a single grain.
and secondly, that only a very stout man
can weigh as much as 1000, 900 grains.
Then it is found that if multiplication
were entirely unchecked, the tenth brood
alone of the descendants of a single aphis
would be equivalent in point of actual
matter to more than 500, 900, 900 very
stout men, or onc-third of the human
population of the globe supposing each
person to weigh $50 pounds.

Thomas A. Edison is thought to have
cleared two millions out of his electrical
inventions. His purchase of q rural resi-
dcnce at $500, 600 cash, to take his bride
to, is regarded by his intimate friends as
no great extravaganza. In appearance
he is a clean-shaven man, youthful in face,
and so nearly deaf that a talker has little
fun in making himself understood.
