WOMEN AND THE BIRDS.
Why VIII They Not Sacrifice Their
Vanity for Humanity's Sake?

Why VIII They Not Sacrifice Their
Vanity for Humanity's Sake:
"As there is no argument on the
side of bird killing for decorative pur-
poses, SO there is no excuse for it's en-
enlargement by even the most frivol-
Gus of women" the St. Paul Pioneer
Press says. They have had pre-
scented to them over and over and IN
every form of appeal the cruelty of The
custom as well as it's reckless abuse of
the gifts of nature, for it is asserted
on good authority that the destruction
of the field and forest birds has an ac-
preciable effect on agriculture. Yet
the killing goes on. apparently with
no diminution. Europe uses 800, 000,-
900 of song birds in millinery annual
ly. One Chicago firm buys and sells
every year $4,000 birds and 100000
wings. The pitiful story of the egre;,
whose ravished plumes wave from the
hats of thousands of wealthy women
and are shown every day in our own
shop windows here in st. Paul, has
been told so many times that 1t would
seem as though the woman who per-
sists in wearing them must feel like
a murderess every time she does SO.
I'VE do not need societies, pledges,
orations or tracts on this subject. The
matter is one which rests on a purely
commercial basis. The leaders of fash
ion in any city can settle it practically
in one season. They have only to re-
fuse to wear these trophies Of cruelty
and the thing is done. 1t does not
even require 'strong-mindedness to do
this. One would think that a mere
spark of humanity in the heart would
be the only requisite. Women, young
or old, rich or poor, who think them.
selves anxious to help along the cause
of humanity can do 1t no more easily
or effectively than in this way. 1t is a
gracious mission and one in which the
only sacrifice involved Is Of q very

Leedy announces that he will present

The purpose of the canal would be to
divert the food of waters of the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys, inn
pound them and let them down when
wanted. The canal would tap the
Mississippi river at Milk River, in
Montana, and empty into Red river,
in Texas. The governor maintains
incidentally that the cost would be

believes that this sum could be easily

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 21.-Has Aran-
guen, the dashing Cuba n guerrilla,
been murdered by his followers as a
Benedict Arnold? This is the startling
claim made by Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister. A sensation was
caused here by the news that Colonel
Ruiz, Blanco's peace commissioner,
had been executed in Arrangements
camp by the insurgents, over Aran-
guren's protest. But the information
which Dupuy de LONE claims to have
to the effect that the Cuban leader was
himself strung up by his followers,
who were angry because he defended
Ruiz, for whose safety he had given
his word of honor, is more sensational
still. There is no confirmation of the
news given out by the Spanish min
lister, but it is generally believed to be
true.

Curious Invention

One of the most curious inventions
that has probably been issued out OF
the United States Patent office, was
granted last week to a Scotchman.
The invention embodies a process oS
obtaining useful products from silk
worms. The inventor collects the silk
worms when they have attained the
maximum size and are about to be-
gin spinning and subjects them to pres
sure without preliminary treatment
and so artificially elects the silk fibre
In killing the worm to produce the
threads and then dries these artifically
elected threads and later subjects
them to the same treatment that the
threads would undergo had they been
spun naturally. In this manner, OF
course, the whole process is i'm
mensely simplified and the percent
age of gain Is greatly increased. We

marriage of Princess Maria. The car
declined to interfere, and King George,
knowing that Russia was most de-
sirous that there should be no dis
turbances in the south of Europe,
played with the war party until it got
beyond his control. The car then
warned King George that the Turks
would occupy Athens and that his
dynasty would cease to reign. King
George finally entered into an arrange

the Turks should not go beyond Thes.
