Women and Their Feathered Victims.

Women and Their Feathered Victims.
1t was hoped some time ago that the fashion
of wearing the dead bodies of birds as trim
mings for bonnets and hats was going out.
Such hope, apparently, is doomed to disap-
pointment. Perhaps the day may come when
people who have little regard for such help
less creatures as birds will give them up to
their fate. 1t really seems to be of no use
to try to protect them. The loafer from the
east end of London goes forth with his cages
and his lime and catches them. He. however,
mostly retains the male. The other bird muir
derer also goes forth on his cruel errand. and.
by preference, catches and retains the female.
He takes her in the nesting season, because
the feathers are soft and beautiful then. What
matters it to him that his victim is often the
mother of a nestful of helpless young, and
that they are left in the nest To die of starva-
ton; to die while piteously crying out hour
after hour for the mother that never
comes? The mother birds are killed and
the young left to die of starvation. because GER
tain women insist that it shall be so. Yet how
gentle, and sympathetic and tender these very
women can pretend to be, when it suits their
convenience? How correct and nice is their
taste in everything that relates to good man.
ners! How shocked they are by vulgarity;
how Mortified by coarseness! II they could
see themselves exactly some MEN see them;
could have it once driven updn their con-
sciences that. in the estimation 6f all rational
and right-feeling men they are |ncomparably
inferior to many costermong$rs, crossing
sweepers and untaught African negroes, they
might for one moment pause andI reflect upon
their worthlessness. Is it really. then, come to
this-that q nineteenth-century. woman is so
utterly selfish, so hopelessly without brains or
feeling, and SO incapable Of learning even the
very elements Of humanity, that she must and
will have birds to adorn herself With, at what
ever cost? At bottom IL really isl want Of in
tellect?

Daily News.

At late meeting of the Berlin
Medical Society, Prof Virehow in
troduced French physician, DR..
Feldmann. who made some expert
ments in hypnotism. Ayoung man
named Garrick offered himself as
medium. After a few seconds Of
the usual manipulations the medium
fell into a deep magnetic sleep. He
became perfectly apathetis and mo-
tionless. In the state of 'sugges-
tion. ."Dr. Feldmann showed the in
luence Of various medicaments on
the medium, who took quinine for
sugar, smacked his lips with enjoy
ment, and he believed ammonia TO
be perfume, and smelt at it for some
time. Immediately afterwsrd, fol-
lowing the will of the doctor, he
showed the usual signs of adhor-
renee of those bitter and caustic
substances. With the same success
he ate lemon for and apple. A
piece of camphor held on his fore
head had singular effect. The
medium bent his body far backward.
and had to be held on his chair.
A magnet caused a dreamy state,
during which the medium related
his impressions as TO events In the
streets in which he believed himself
to be. Then the medium obeyed
the will Of the doctor in various
ways, shoveling snow, skating, fall
ing and rising again with one jump
at the doctors suggestion, and f.
nally took a pocket.book by force
out of Prof. Virehow's pockets.
He was then ordered by DIR. Field.
mann to rescat himself, and soon
woke out of the hypnotic sleep, re-
membering nothing of what had
happened. Two young physicians
then spoke, declaring that such ex.
periments were without scientific
basis. They believed the "sugges-
tion" to be probably genuine, but as
to the other experiments, especially
the effects Of medicines and the
magnet, they thought they needed
careful examination.

WHY AN ENGLISHMAN DOES
NOT MARRY.
Temple Bar.

English girls are, as Of yore, frank,
charming, simple, and endowed with
beauty beyond other nations, and
with beauty that endures. But !
do meet with very many lady-like
and pretty girls who, if we pass from
externals, are neither one thing nor
the other. They are neither accom-
plished, nor really well-read, nor
good housewives. / can imagine
woman who would charm me by her
proficiency in music, painting, taste
in dress, artistic feeling. can i'm
agine, with great difficulty, woman
who should be a thorough llnguist,
and TO that extent an intellectual
companion. Logic and philosophy
l cannot clothe in petticoats. l can
imagine-sweetest picture of ALA
domestic genius with kitchen clev-
erness, who should be cunning in
cookery, and should not disdain to
whip up an omelotte or to superin
tend savoury. After all, cook is
an artist. BY lue way should not
ladies starch shirts? 1t is nice
work, it is abominably performed at
present, it would yield better in
come than fancy work or Christmas
cards. submit, with regard to our
modern maidens, that we have part
ed with the old types-gone with
the old beliefs, / suppose-and that
we have not got thorough new one.
The accomplished young lady is
gone. There are too many real ar
lists among us to put up with her.
The domestic damsel has gone.
Newnham and Girton have offered
us a substitute. / do not like it;
physique keeps it from thorough
ness, would like girl to be re-
ally good at something: for choice,
/ would prefer something quite diff
ferent from my own strong points.
But let us have something definite.

A GIGANTIC FARM

Taking the whole estate ever, u
more beautiful and picturesque coun-
try, and one so suited for pastoral
purposes could not be found. |
spent part of three days in the sheds
with the shearers, and noticed close
ly the whole operation Of shearing,
grading the wool, baling, branding
the sheep and loading he wagons
to haul to the depot. Everything
was done with neatness and dis
patch. They were shearing $500
sheep per day and all were shorn
smoothly. About 100 men were en-
ployed in shcaring, rolling and bail
ing the wool. 1t required twelve
tables on which to roll the wool,
with one man at each and boys to
bring the wool from the shearers.
The wool is very clean as clean as
the best washed Brooke county wool.
1t is graded in three classes and put
into bales of about 800 pounds each.
None of the head, belly or leg wool
is put in the bail with the fleece,
but in seperate bales. The wool is
skirted closely and brought to the
press on truck, where each fleece
is examined by an expert on grades
before going into the press. There
is not burr of any kind or dirt al
lowed to 90 into the bale. They
have no burrs and very few nox-
ious weeds of any kind in this coun-
try. The great trouble is to keep
the grass seed (which is sometimes
sticky out OF the, belly wool, and
this is avoided by shearing before
the seed ripens. They have scour-
ing house in which all the dirty clip
ping are secured before baling.
The sheds and pens outside and in
are perfectly arranged for conve-
nience. The men shear on a clean
floor all around the sides Of the shed,
small doors opening to the outside
pens. Two men are allotted to pen
and when shorn the sheep are pass
ed out of tue door into the pen, and
not allowed to run with the un-
shorn sheep. Every part Of the shed
scrupulously clean and not scrap
of the wool lost. The shorn sheep
are passed through narrow lane
single file and are branded with
great rapidity., Adjacent to the
shed we saw in lots and small fields

What is this nervous trouble"
with which SO many seem now TO be
afflicted? IF you will remember

diseases, as they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition Of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it of through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
