KILLING THE MOcKING BIRDS.
Trappers Are Exterminating Them
by Thousands.


The hooking bird will soon be extermi-
mated by trappers. But few persons
know, except country people. that the
feathered American singer is being ex-
terminated at the rate OF from ten to fifty
a day by the lazy trappers, who scour tbs
country. and especially the neighborhood
OflSavannah.
There are said to be from twenty 10
thirty trappers OF birds who live in the
neighborhood of Savannah, and do moth
ing else for living The farmers do not
like to stand quietly and see the little
bird which has always sung cheerfully At
their hours of rest, trapped before their
doors by idle negroes and worthless white
men. Cannot the county detectives do
something, asked one yesterday?
Should not the county commissioners take
II in hand? Trappers do more to exterm:-
nate the singing birds than the nest rob-
bers. The mania for trapping is grow
ing among those who will not work.

The craze for circle dies-the Pari-
sian idea of ipclosing tiny monograms
and ciphers within plain single and
double lines-has extended to ovals
diamonds and fanciful frames Of various
artistic shapes composed Of small beads,
dots, vavy and anything but circular
lines Wreaths, brackets, garters, fancy
shields, ovals and circles surmounted
by bowknots or crests are observed on
note sheets in every conceivable color
and bronze tint, some Of one plain color,
while others are blended in several
shades.
White paper of the parchment finish
Is preferred above all other qualities for
the notes Of social correspondence now
used by those who aspire to be in the
fashionable world. It is indicative Ct
good taste, and affords an excellent
background for the various colors and
bronzes in which address, monogram
and arms dies are impressed and proves
to be most effective under the inscrip-
ton of good black ink, which is the
proper ink for ladies' notes.
There are few other decided favor
ties, however, that do not lose their
popularity. Linen papers, slightly
cough, in white and cream, have long
>oen used, the fine laid lines lending
4 character, while the surface is pleasant
for stub pens.
The perfectly smooth paper with the
glace finish is also much used. There is
really nothing more fascinating than q
