TROPHIES FOR Fu uRNrTuRE.
Stuffed Parrot the Queens Fruit

Stand Wales Dumb waiter.
London, Nov. 2o.-The fad for trans
foiniins big game trophies into useful and
ornamental articles of furniture has for
sonHe time been prevalent in England. De-
ce; sed pets, alse are no longer buried and
fC:gctteu, hut are sent to the taxideru.ist
who shortly returns them stuffed AMI
mounted to again take their places in the
family circle.
Wien tie Prince of Wales visited Russia
he brought back with him a huge black bear
which he had shot. 1t was his intention
q. havet he skin alone preserved, but at the
earnest entrest yof the princess he was pre-
vailed upon TO have it stuffed; SO it was
sent TO 4 taxiderndst. 4 few weeks later,
wien the prince entered his Stacking room
at Marlborough House. he was surprised
t. tind the big animal standing before
him with : tray. ON which were a botole
of spirits aud a number Of glasses.
Since then it has been the aspiration of
ev cry sportsman to have i bear in his fall
or smoking room. One OF the largest
stuffed bears is in the Possession Gf the
Baroness EcKhardstein. 1t was shot in
Alaska and mounted by ROLAND WlrI,
who, gave it to the bareness on the day she
was married In its paw it holds an elec-
trc torch, which floods the hall with a
soft red light.
Wien the pet parrot belonging TO the
Prince OF Wales perished in the claws of his
faTorite cat, it was considered too beauti-
ful To caSign to Mother Earth, so it was
mounted as a flower and fruit stand and
presented to the Queen on her seventith
birthday, aad is now useful ornament in
Windsor Castle.
AS usual with all fads, this one has been
