solution of arsenic or corrosive sub
Innate and prepared for drying.
Before beginning stuffing, the skin
in the interim having been dampened
wash the skull with corrosive sub
Innate, and reconnect to the neck with
wire. The wings and legs are also ad
justed with wire, and connected with
a central piece running from head to
tail. A fault common with stuffed
birds is the apparent lengthening OF
the legs. The three bones of the legs
should be articulated to almost form
a letter u, as the upper joint of the
thigh is never straight. Chopped fax
tow or cotton is the best for stufling or
sewing up. Cotton is put in the orbits
of the eyes with fine forceps, and the
eyes are fixed in with cement. After
being stuffed and the rose decided
thread is wound plentifully around the
plumage to hold the feathers in posi-.
tion until the skin has again dried thor.
oughly.
"The old custom" said the taxider-
mist, "of mounting birds ON branches
or moss covered bases has been pretty
much given up. Moss is great place
to breed insects and for moths to lay
eggs, so L of some nice wood is now
preferred.
The preservation of fish. forms is a
distinct branch of taxidermy, and is
but little done. 1t is necessary to
treat the fish as soon as taken from the
water, and even then it is difficult to
retain the color and luster of the
scales.
The first ones to establish business
of stuffing anything and everything in
natural life to supply museums and
mercantile calls were the Verreaux
Freres, in Paris Before that n muse
nm had to collect its own specimens.
but the Verreaux opened o sort Of
clearing house for wild beasts, birds,
fishes, and reptiles, from which q

that birds body is rot completely
covered by feathers. There are places
about the shoulders, under the wings
and on the thighs where the skin is
about bare, and fits the cavities or
rounds ont with great nicely. Usually
these parts are stuffed full, the result
being marring of the symmetry and
proportion. Waterton gave particu-
lar care to such points, trying to get
them exact to nature.
The best way of preserving birds
skin demands careful attention from
the moment it is killed to the time of
mounting. The wounds should be
filled with cotton, and feathers discol-
oled by blood should be softly wiped
with wet sponge. In hot weather
the skin should be taken off at once,
bct in autumn or winter the bird can
be allowed to get cold. Beginning at
the breast bone, the skin is slowly
separated by forcing blunt instru-
ment between it and the flesh. The
bones of the wings are cut at the
shoulder joints, and when getting the
skin from the skull the vetebrm can be
uniointed Then remove the brains
and eyes. The flesh is taken from the
under bill, using care not to mutilate
the openings of the ears or eyelids.
The skin should then be rubbed with

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

IF the sharper who exercises his in
ventive genius for the sake OF d d'shonest
gain should use it for Legitimate ends,
he might become rs G. eat benetactor
OF mankind as Fulton, Morse and Edi-
son. A new racket has been invented
by confidence operators which has been
successfully worke in various parts OF
the West. A gray haired, resre ,tably
dressed woman of perhaps fifty years is
put off the train at the next station be-
cause she won't pay her fare. She tear
fully relates her story TO the bystanders,
and exhibits n dispatch which tells her
to hurry home to attend the last hours
of her dying husband. She threatens
to walk every mile of the way home
100 miles rather than not minister to
the dying man and speak II word of love
and comfort before he breathes his Inst.
The sympathetic listeners are too gem
erous and kind-hearted to let her walk.
They take up collection and pay her
fare. Perhaps they hear afterward that
she is a fraud. Perhaps they don't.
But that is exactly what she is.

THE latest London wrinkle in the
way of insurance is scheme to insur;
against burglary, A private residence
with the whole of the c1utents of the
house are insured against loss only
for 62 cents year. When the contents
are insured against both loss and dam
age done by burglars, 1t costs about II
cents year. Articles specially insured
like jewelry and plate, cost extra. The
Company agrees to pay the amount in
sured within thirty days after the loss
is proved, subject to rhe provision that
there is no claim on the policy if the
whole loss ON any one occasion does no
amount to e5, or that the robbery has
not been committed by any memb'r ot
the household or u servant therein.
One of the most astonishing things
about this company is that it is doing 4
coed business.

THE Commissioner of Labor at Wash
ington has just issued volume on mar
riage and divorce in the United States.
Some causes for divorce proceedings are
extremely suggestive. A few samples
of "extreme cruelty" taken at random,
will illustrate this. One woman sued
for divorces and obta mel it--because
her husband cut off her bang; another
claimed that her husband never took hel
out driving. A man obtained divorce
because his wife pulled him out of LED
by the whiskers; another complained
that his wife would not walk out Will
him ON Sundays, and entered MS ovidenc
on another point tuft of hair marked
"exhibit A." 1t is seldom that statis
teal work has so much undersigned hui
NOR in it as the Labor Commissioner

Animals MS Actors.

Many ANIMALS have the dramatic in
stinct; that is, they enjoy acting part
and making believe" as much as some
children do. An English gentleman,
who had once been in the cavalry SER
vice, used to tell me a great many an
ecdotes about horse that belonged to
his regiment.
"Old SAL" as she was called, had
innumerable tricks and devices of her
own, and was quite the practical Joker
of the company. A very common one
with her was suddenly to nip with her
teeth the man who was grooming her !;
and when he looked up angrily after
such an unprovoked attack he would
always find her gazing innocently into
the distance as if she never dreamed
of doing such thing. She knew how
to turn her cleverness to her own ad-
vantage, too. The horses were fed
from long trough, with a swinging
bar between each two to keep them
apart and secure the proper division of
the oats. Old Sal would quietly blow
her own oats into the fartherest cor
ner, and then putting her head over
the bar, blow her neighbor's oats
within her reach, eat them, and then
return to her own share.
Dogs are very fond of pretending.

his mistress, who will assume five or
six different parts in the course of a

rush at his mistress as if he was going
to make furious attack upon her with
