Herons' Plumes.

How many women will wear aigrets of
herons' plumes in their hats after they hear
the true and shocking details of how they
are obtained? These light and pretty trim
mings are the ornamental plumes of the
heron during the breeding season, and then
only can they be obtained. Very few are
yielded by each bird, and they are shot in
the heronries after being driven from off
the nests that contain their young The
feathers are pulled out, the birds are
thrown on the ground, frequently alive.
where they decay while still alive, and the
young are left to perish of absolute starva-
ton in order that thoughtless women may
have cockade in their hats. The fashion
of wearing birds feathers is responsible for
the disappearance of many song birds and
for the almost determination of the hum
mingbird in the southern states.-Philadel-

tear the line apart, let the break come
where it would. If between the buoy and
the wreck, then they could possibly haul
the precious burden ashore; but IL between
the shore and the buoy, then the strong
sailor and his darling protegee would be
cast into the breakers, hopelessly beyond
the reach of aid. Putting all hands to the
rope, the crews ran back on the beach, and
the line broke near the ship. Shouts of
JOY arose above the clamorous sea when
the proud mate and the blue and half
frozen but smiling orphan girl were lifted
from their icy car and hurried away to the
warm boathouse of Station 10.
But the connecting link between the lit
tie ark of safety and the stranded souls on
the wreck had been broken completely
when the hauling line was torn away from
the ship in order to save the mate and child.
The traveller rope was still stretched from
the shore to the vessels rigging, but the
buoy could not impel itself. The next best
thing was to attempt rescue with boat,
desperate and dangerous as it was with that
tremendous sea and those enormous break
ers. Even if boat should live to reach
the wreck, how could she lie alongside to
take off the exhausted men clinging there?
A picked crew was selected from each sta
oar. Keeper Martin of No. 10 took off his
boots, and with a steering oar pushed off
into the fierce current.
When the boat reached the cross cur
rent running between the wreck and the
shore where the buoy lines had been carried
| 80 far astray. it was caught up like shell
| from the power of the oarsmen and swept
! rapidly to the leeward. The baf1ed men
returned to shore, and recalling the expe-
rience of the whip line went down the
beach to the windward and launched with
| the current in their favor. That time the
Jealous oarsmen succeeded in striking the
bar where the wreck lay, but heavy sea
broke over the boat, knocking Keeper Mar

the oars. Martin was hauled on board by
Keeper Grimm, but the boat meanwhile
drifted back into the fatal cross current
and was once more rowed to shore.
1t was 4 O'Clock, and but two lives hac
been saved. Eight forms still chung to the
rigging, though two had been corpses al
hour or more. A line gun was fired, ane
the shot crossed the vessel, but the line fell
out of reach of the men in the rigging
Then Keeper Martin waded far out in tn
surf and fastened a line to the traveller rop

THE FIRST RESCUE.

spectators and the sorely beset crew gave
warning that help must be speedy or it
would be too late. A sailor in the topmast
rigging, paralyzed by intense cold, anxiety
and toll, lost his hold and plunged into the
sea. The captain and his wife were so over
come by the horrifying sight that they new
er rallied and died in their lashings un-
known to their distressed companions.
The mate with the babe in arms was the
first to take seat in the buoy. Both
crews on shore hauled for dear life, and the
frail ark began it's doubtful journey.
When the buoy was riding the surf about
half way between the wreck and the shore,
the line on shipboard became entangled
and could not be cleared by the exhausted
sailors in the rigging. In that moment Of
terrible suspense the life savers decided to

LIVES WITH a BROKEN NECK.

One Of tho Most Remarkable Cases Oh |
Record In . Now York Hospital.
OF all the cases Of patients suffering
from broken neck that have recently
been recorded in this vicinity the most
remarkable undoubtedly is one now I'M
der treatment by the surgeons Of the
Gouverneur hospital. |
Several instances of dislocation of the
bones of the spinal column have come to
light within the last few months. This
Is a case of genuine fracture of the bones
of the neck at the base of the skull, an
injury that has heretofore been generally
regarded as mortal and in which the re-
suits have always borne out the sur
geons diagnosis. But in this instance
not only is the patient alive, but there is
every Indication that he will, after
proper care, recover his physical and
mental faculties and get entirely well.
Little Isaac Goerstein, 9 years old, of
Allen street is the patient. He was re-
turning from school on Wednesday aft
ernoon about 2 o'clock, and at the cor
ner of Henry and Pike streets was
knocked down and injured by passing
truck. An ambulance was summoned,
and the surgeons diagnosed the case as

He and two assistants began work on
the boy, who was then unconscious, and
made a plastic coat which covered the
body from the waist to the top of IT,

The plaster cast makes it impossible
for the boy to move the upper part Of his
body at all, and the respiration is labored
and uneven. When asked in reference
to the case, House Surgeon Jamal said:

TROUSERS FOR WOMEN.
Bloomer Costumes in England Many

Bloomer Costumes in England Many
Years Ago.
The Healthy and Artistic Dress union
has recently been holding meeting for
the propagation of the views OF its
members on reforming the present style
of costume worn by both men and wo-
men, but especially the latter. Their
object, if not worthy of the highest en-
couragement, does not, on the other
hand, challenge any very great amount
of opposition. In this country, within
very easy limits, any one can wear
pretty we'll whatever he or she likes,
and if the union can succeed in get
ting the best of giant CUSTOM they
may even establish knee breaches,
evening Jacket, white shirt, and red tie
(the attire of lady attending the meet
ing) as the orthodox wear of the other
sex.
By the way. canot help being struck
by the persistent attempts to annex
our "trews,'' which characterize the
efforts of ali the indefatigable ladies
who pose as the champions of dress re-
reform. This garment of ours would
appear to be a very "Hugomont to the
attacking party, and around it the
fercest struggle always seems to take
place. l remember the arrival from
America some thirty-flve years ago of
the ''bloomer" costume, and the heroic
efforts of the few pioneers who adopted
it to look unconscious and happy; it
was flower of weak growth, however,
and soon faded away.
Then again, the members of the
union will have to GO battle with Che
great Juggernaut fashion, and if they
can escape being crushed out of sight
under the wheels of her car, they may
hope, eventually, to educate their sis
tiers UP to right appreciation of what
is best for them to wear-but do not
envy them their task.-London Truth

A GREAT RAILWAYS JUBILEE.

The zone hundredth half-yearly gen
eral meeting" of the Midland Railway
company was held at Derby in Febru-
airy this year, but the actual date Of
the jubilee of the great corporation is
little later, for it was on the 10th of
May, 1874, that the Midland railway
was formed by the amalgamation of
the Midland Counties, the North Mid
land, and the Birmingham and Derby
systems of lines. And the condition,
extent of, and work done by the Mid
land railway now is striking proof
alike Of the clear views of its early
promoters, and of the vast growth of
the railway interest in the half CEN
fury
1t is we'll known that the first begin
nings of what is now the Midland rail-
way were in the formation by "a, few
enterprising coal owners" of a modest
little line. 1t was in 1882 that the Lei
cester and Swannington railway was
opened and the opening brought down
the price of coal in Leicester. The
colliery proprietors of Nottingham
shire district felt it needful to take
steps to protect heir own industries,
and, meeting at the Sun Inn at East
wood in August of the year just
named, they decided TO construct a
railway from their own coal fields to
Leicester; and thus began the Midland
Counties system.
The North Midland and the Biz
mingham and Derby were creations of
George Stephenson: and between the
three lines a keen competition began,
ending in the amalgamat ton we have
spoken of, and justifying Robert Ste
phenson's axiom: Where combina-
ton is possible, competition is impos-
sible. "-Chambers' Journal

EARLY SMOKING

Every one has read that Hawkins intro
duced tobacco, and that James inveighed
against it. Elizabeth liked to sit on a
low stool and watch Sir Walter Raleigh
putting away. Once she bet him that he
could not tell the weight of the smoke
in his pipe, but the philosopher won. In
Anre's reign almost every man smoked.
In Charles IFS reign children were sent
to school with their pipes in their satcfels,
and the school master called a halt in
their studies while they smoked"
In 1902 Jorevin spent an evening with
his brother at Garraway coffee house,
Leeds. and writes: Il was surprised to
see his sickly. child of three years old fill
its pipe of tobacco and smoke it as aud
farandly as a man of three score; after
that, a second and a third pipe, without
the least concern, as it is said to have
done above a year ago"
There were about 40 coffee houses in
London, besides five chocolate houses, in
Anne's reign. Smoking was general in
them, and intoxi Hlts could be also OBJ
tanned as well as coffee. Bishop TreJaw-
ney was much hurt because Bishop Bar
nett had accused him of getting drunk in
