A Beer Famine Probable.
CHICAGO July almost every brew
cry in Chicago will stop making beer to-
day, on account OF the big strike. Inc
scarcity of coal has made such action
necessary. Yesterday a number of OFF,
Gals OF brewing companies got together
and decided that unless their coal was
saved for the ice machines they would
not only be compelled TO stop their ma
chinery, but IT. would be impossible for
tors. IL was finally decided to stop
brewing and use fuel for nothing but the
Ice machines. None Of the employees VIII
suffer by the move, as they Will be kept
on the pay rolls. II Is also said that the
supply OF the beverage viii be seriously
affected. There are about fifty large
breweries in Chicago. and IT is understood
that the men enjoy vacations for the
next few days. They say that II the
strike should continue for any considera-
BILE time they Will have to shut their
breweries altogether.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST FEATHERS.
narrowing Tale of the Sunerfngs of
Ostriches on n Cairo Farm.

Ostrfches on a Cairo Farm.
From the London Truth.
/ should like to hear from the Society for
the Protection of Birds. which commended
the other day to the notice OF my lady
readers, why the only birds feathers the
wearing of which they countenance are the
plumes Of the ostrich. A lady tells me
that she has declined an invitation to totn
the society because 1t does not protect
the ostrich. and in justification OF her de-
cision she gives the following account OF
the plucking of ostriches on a feather farm.
II the facts are accurate, think that they
fully prove her case:
Z The good ladies who belong TO this So
ciety. and who condemn as 'crueT the
simple mercy Of death. should 20 to the
ostrich farm near Carol believe the larg-
est there Island hear from those in charge
a description OF the annual feather gather
ing. The first year a bird is plucked he
can be easily caught and thrown by one
man. The feathers are then wrenched,
bleeding, from his tortured body after
which the marabout and down are torn
of.
After one experience the birds can only
be caught with the utmost difficulty and
II takes six or eight men to throw an old
bird. 1t is very hard work plucking.' we
are told. the feathers are bedded SO tight
In the flesh / asked IL IL would not DO
as well to clip of the feathers close. and
was told that dealers will only buy those
with the perfect Quill. All the undressed
feathers offered for sale on the farm had
blood on the quilts. and we were told tina
when the annual plucking takes place the
shrieks OF the birds can be heard to a great
distance in the sttll desert air.
IF you can induce your lady readers TO
bar ostrich feathers. even IL they indulge
in wing manufactured from the dis
carded plumage OF well-fed chicken YOU
will indeed add another to the MANY s~,<t
turns you have already done to the cause
OF humanity"
