Large shipment OF Birds.


Mr.. Emile Scheuerman yesterday
shipped nearly three thousand birds
of several different varieties to New
York, from which place they will be
exported to Europe. The shipment
yesterday comprised sea pigeons and
several varieties of terms, varying in
size, the largest being about the size
of a common pigeon and the small
est about as large as a martin. The
prevailing colors of these birds are
white and pearl in light and dark
shades, the points of the wings and
tails being tipped with black. These
birds are killed on Sand and Petit
bois islands, where they are partly
prepared by seven girls employed
by Mr.. Scheuermann. They are
then shipped to this city and the fin
ishing touches are put on according
to the most approved methods known
to the taxidermists, by Mr.. Scheuer-
mann and his assistant, Mrs. Nan
ME Campbell. The birds are pre-
pared whole, retaining all the beauty
of the;plumage. These birds are
for, use in the milliner's art, being
used to adorn the hats and bonnets
of fashionable ladies. Some are
dyed while others are used in their
natural plumage.
In response to questions, Mr..
Scheuermann said he had been en-
gagged in this business for nearly two
years, with much success. There
are only two other persons engaged
in the business in the South, one
having headquarters at New Orleans
and the other at Charleston. He
learned taxidermy from gentleman
who had formerly been connected
with the Smithsonian Institute. The
business of mounting birds was not
success. He had mounted great
many, but there is no sale for them.
Since the first of June he has ship
ped 10, 600 birds to New York and
there is good demand for them.-

Three small pigs were shipped
from this place not long since to
Atlanta, or near there, and the ex-
press charges were $50, or $40
apiece-just the price paid for the
pigs by the Georgia man. Such
charges are outrageous, to say the
least.

haps no other American writer of fiction
who has accomplished so much good or
become so endeared to the great heart Of
the people as has Mrs, Stowe. She was
born in June 1912, and is therefore nearly
"a years of age--in fact ripe old age filed
with work which are a crown to her now
and will keep her memory green long
after her frail body has crum pled buck to
dust. When abont 20 years old her life's
literary work began, and reached its high
est point when in 1851 she wrote "Uncle
Toms Cabin" This story was first pub
lished in the National Era as serial. In
1852 it was published in book form and
400, 600 copies were sold in America, be-
sides half million copies in England
To thia day the story is read over again by
persons who havs read IL many times,
and il is still greeted by crowded houses

it seems queer how these impoverished

other term. Usually it is the first time
they were ever permitted TO earn $4,000 u
