Young swan Every Year.
A new count in the Indictment against
woman in the matter of her craving for
plumage ornanentation is found in t. .
way in which it is said the needs of her
dressing table are supplied.
An English journal warns the Lon
don ladies that their powder puffs,
those airy necessities of the toilet, are
heavy with the blood of slaughtered in
nocents.
1t is stated that as many as twenty
thousand young swans-cygnets, as
they. are called-are killed every year
to supply this dainty fluff, to say moth
ing OF innumerable young birds of the
cider duck and wild goose variety.
The bulk of these are imported-thc
swan and geese from the islands of the
Baltic and from Norway and Sweden,
and the elders from the northern and
more icebound seas.

President Edward j.. Poor of the Ma

nearly one hundred letters from bankers
In nearly every State in the Union written
IN reply to set Of questions sent out by
Mr.. Poor concerning the business cOndi-
tions i'm the different States and Terrific
rics. No more complete and thorough
proof could be had that a great
wave Of prosperity and good times Is
sweeping over the country than Is fur
nished by these letters. They come
from bankers i'm cities and small towns,
I'M manufacturing and farming communi-
ties, from the Gulf 20 the Great Lakes
and from the Appalachians 10 the Paci-
iic. and with very few exceptions. that
might be called almost insignificant. their
tone is hopeful and confident; and where
prosperity has not already set in at flood
tide il is on its way
From Virginia come letters OF promising
tone. Crops are good and returns good.
Manufacturers are busy. although in the
lumber trade the margins are small, and
there is little excuse for idlencss among
the men. From Tennessee like reports
come The silver sentiment seems TO be
decidedly on the wdna there. From Texas
comes news Of decided hopcfulness based
ON the actual condition of tho country.
They have the largest wheat crop in the
history of the state, large corn crop,
and a cotton crop which Will approximate
5000 O00 bales. The few manufacturing
enterprises arc prosperous, and there Is
"a scarcity of help In all districts. and this,
with big crops and work. is putting a
quietus on silver talk. Like messages
come from North and South Carolina.
From Nebraska comes the same news OF
good crops and reviving prosperity among
manufacturers. with a lcssening OF free
silver feeling. In Mississippi there is go
ing 10 be a good crop. the factories are
busy. and there has been most decided
revival already From Michigan comes
good news. letter from me Of the cities

favorable tide that has set in. The crop
