According to the London Queen,
"ladics are no longer to wear birds
in their bonnets and hats. Thus it
has been decrced by fashion. The
benevolent edict comes just in time
to save the last remaining members
of the race of humming birds and
birds of paridise The great for
ests of India, Brazil and the banks
Of the Mississippi have been ransack
ed and have yieldid up their treas
ures Of winged jewels to adon the
feminine headgear. Now at least
there is to be Il halt in the massacre
and the pretty dcuizens of the woods
may sing and fly awhile in peace.
To estimate the extent of the slaugh-
ter perpctrated for the sake Of wo-
mankind'S adornmcnt We may take
of II London dealer,
that last year he sold 2,0O0,00O
small birds of every possible kind
and color from the soft gray Of the

friendly robin has been inundated
to adorn the fashionable bonnet.
