MUSE NoT wEAR FEATHERs.

The crusade against the wearing Of
birds feathers seems to have ap-
preached a successful termination in
Boston. Hereafter the women who
walk the streets of that intellectual
centre with birds feathers in their hats
are liable to arrest. The Massachusetts,
Legislature passed an act prohibiting
the same, but it seems that the fact has
just cropped out. An official of that
city has expressed it as his opinion
that it will be necessary to hire experts
on feathers, because if a woman said
she was wearing a ducks feathers,
how could she be arrested unless the
officer knew enough about feathers to
be aware that she was wearing feather
which is prohibited by the law. The
outcome will be watched with a great
deal Of interest.

weakening steadily. There has been no

now continued longer than any of the

tinues to be unbroken. and the evidence
of weakening is in her pulse and respi-
