The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1893-05-12

Many ladies who wear the pretty, del
icate plume of the egret on their bonnets
do SO in the belief that this ornament is
manufactured by the milliners from
common feathers. Mr.. w. H. Hudson,
author of 1.-The Naturalist In La Plata"
who has too often witnessed the slaugh-
ter of the white heron for its feathers.
corrects this little mistake.
Whatever part the art of millinery
may take in combining and arranging
the egret plume the material itself is the
spoil of cruelty. Nature made it the
"nuptial adornment' of the parent bird,
and it is sought for and stolen at the sea
son of its growth by unfeeling men who
profit by catering to fashionable vanity
Mr.. Hudson says that the egrets are in
nearly all cases actually made of the
slender feathers that grow at one time of
the year on the egret's back and droop
gracefully over the back and tail of the
bird. Those who engage in the business
of procuring these plumes know that to
obtain good supply with little trouble
the birds must be taken when the breed
ing season is we'll advanced.
The best time to attack them is when
the young birds are fully fledged and not
yet able to fly, for at that time the solic-
itude of the parent birds is greatest, and
forgetful of their own danger they are
most readily made victims. When the
killing is finished and the few handfuls
of coveted feathers have been pluckea
out, the slaughtered birds are left in a
white heap to tester in the sun and wind
and in sight of their orphaned young
that cry for food and are not fed.

We Hope 1t Is True.

Marion Crawford thinks American
taste has improved wonderfully in the
past 10 years. He is probably correct in
the main. He says that the aesthetic i'm
provement which our ladies especially
have manifested is only the natural out
come of the womanly nature which re-
fines itself as soon as it has the oppor-
tunity. In illustration Of the general
elevation and refining Of taste in the 80
cial realm Mr.. Crawford says in The La
dies Home Journal:
There used to be an extraordinary stiffness,
if may call 1t so, in American taste, which
contrasted strongly enough with the grammat-
ical license of the speech Of those days. With
In the last 10 years the language of what calls
itself society has improved by resuming some
thing, if not ALL Of the Anglo-Saxon rigidity.
Taste, on the other hand, has grown more IA
cile, plant and graceful. 1t is no longer dis
tinctive sign of social superiority to have a
semielassic marble statue In the hall and the
stone effigy Of an uncle or aunt in the dining
room. Moreover, the successors of those Bs-
thetic monstrosities are fast disappearing, too

New York loves Chicago, and Chicago

The directors of the fair decided that
the seeding piano men should not be al

the entertainments during the exposi-

Two Letters.

An industrious young man who looks
after che correspondence in Wall street
banking house is an adept and enthusi-
astic manipulation of typewriting ma
chine. His sister, self reliant girl CT
more than ordinary cleverness, is en-
ployed as stenographer and typewriter
in large manufacturing establishment
in Buffalo. The young man mailed
bulky letter to his sister, with whom he
is fond of joking, and as smart re-
minder of April FOOLS day he inclosed two
large sheets of foolscap paper. On one
sheet he wrote, cha! ha! He! he! April
l." and the other sheet contained the
words, Nov you owe me a good long
letter-a long one, mind you" A few
days ago this funny young man received
an express package on which 40 cents
charges were due. Tt looked like small
can of tea, but when opened proved to
be roll of ribbon paper about 10 yards
long, on which, in closely written char
acters, was long and friendly message
from the sister in Buffalo.-New York

stole to their heads to remove reverently

Can't Stand the Kodak.

A Boston paper has adopted an effect
i've method Of Kidding public places Of
well dressed loafers. Only fortnight
ago it was not possible for a lady to walk
on Washington street without being
pgled and perhaps addressed by one Of
this genus, who, with fashionably dressed
companions, haunted some corner or
doorway from which to practice his i'm
pertinences. Directing public attention
to circumstances, the Boston journal gave
minute descriptions of the dress and ap-
pearance of these loafers day by day, so
that its readers began to recognize and
stare at them. Posts of observation that
had known them for months knew them
no more, for their impotence was not
proof against ridicule.

ton as this: 1.-THE young man who was

ACurious Coincidence.

the word 'ratably,' probably for the first
time for more than year. After I had
written the syllable rat I hesitated for
an instant, and in that instant I lost the
knowledge whether the word was spelled
with an or not. I went into Judge
Blanks office, just adjoining, to consult
his dictionary. He was writing at his
desk, and as l passed him asked,
Judge, how do you spell ratably? He
answered, Exactly as am writing it at
this instant; look over my shoulder
looked, and he was just finishing the
word 'ratably,' which occurred in the
course of a document he was writing.
He, too, averred that he had not before

months, at least"
This may well pass for remarkable
coincidence-that one man should coms

ment when another man was writing 1t.

Landscape Architects.

The editor of The Century believes
that the Columbian fair will do more
than anything else could to convince the
American mind Of the great need of
trained landscape gardeners in this coun-
try. The necessary connection Of the
landscape gardener with the architect
has not impressed our people heretofore.
The landscape architect should be con-
suited along with the building architect
before the structure is begun, not after
it is completed.
The feature which will strike the Wis
itor in regard to the Worlds fair
grounds and buildings Is the beauty Of
the whole considered as one work of
art. Buildings fit the grounds, and
grounds fit the buildings. This was
made most important part Of the plan
ming of the great Columbian exposition.
The lack Of landscape architects who
can worthily cooperate with our artistic
building architects is, however, most

paying employment for talented young
men who are willing to take up the pro-
fession of landscape gardening. There
are, however, almost no schools where a
course Of instruction in this department
can be had. The Century suggests that
there should be department Of land
scape gardening established in connec-
ton with one of the universities or tech
meal schools. Really, however, it ought
to be one of the courses at the agricul-
tural colleges. So ought instruction in
forestry. Every school that can should
assist in the work Of changing our
SCARED, mutilated American landscapes
into ideals Of artistic beauty.

Ever Read the Constituency


The editor Of Harper's Magazine sug-
gests mildly that instead of so many at
tempts at amending the United States
constitution an effort be made TO amend
the general intelligence in regard to that
constitution. The hint is good one. 1t
has been proposed as requirement for
naturalization that the applicant be able
to read the United States constitution
and show that he understands its provi-
lions. Did it ever occur to the reform
IRIS to apply the same test to native born
citizens who in some cases have been
voting 40 years or morei
In fact, If put upon the witness stand
under oath to tell the truth in fear of
death, how many of even intelligent p"
pie, men and women, would be fore
to confess they had never read the con-
stitution Of their own country, that ad-
mirable document which Professor Gold
win Smith recently held up to the whole
British nation, as showing how much
superior our government was TO theirsf
The average American citizen ought
at least to read that precious document
twice year. Glasses should be formed
for its study, if not now, then next win
ter, The confounding-not to say con-
founded-commentaries that have been
written on it are not needed. It Is not
hard to understand in its splendid SIM
plicity, with the added light Of Ameri-
can common sense. The instrument
alone, with the history Of its adoption,
will be the true basis of work and study.

The formula recommended by the de-
paftment of agriculture for the Dor
deaux mixture to be used in spraying
diseased plants is as follows: In barrel
that will hold As gallons dissolve 6
pounds Of copper sulphate, using 8 OF
10 gallons of water, or as much as may
be necessary for the purpose. In tub
or half barrel slake 4 pounds Of fresh
lime. When completely slaked, add
enough water to make creamy white
wash. Pour this slowly into the barrel
containing the copper sulphate solution,
using coarse gunnysack stretched over
the head of the barrel for strainer.
Finally fill the barrel with water, stir
thoroughly, and the mixture is ready for
use. If the copper sulphate costs Z
cents per pound and the lime 80 cents
per bushel. the cost of gallon of this
mixture will not exceed cent Fresh
lime must be used, and the copper sui
phate will dissolve more readily If pow
