1t was found that almost every kind of
bird could be made useful for feminine
adornment, and forthwith every kind of
bird acquired market value. Men and
boys and boats along the coast made
money. selling their feathered spells at ten
cents victim Our shores were made q
shambles; and the vanity Of our women
was tickled.
The only permanent cure is to be found
in SO awakening public feeling that women
will realize what it means to wear birds on
their hats and that men will show frank
disapproval of the unwomanly heartless-
ness of the fashion.
Meanwhile, pending such effectual edu-
cation of the thoughtless. both men and
women. laws should be enacted making it
misdemeanor not only to offer certain
kinds Of birds for sale, but to use them for
personal adornment.

The Young Eanderbflts TukinE to the
Water.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
All the younger members of the clan
Vanderbilt are taking to the water as they
emerge from the shell of the home nest.
Willie ks son and namesake. William
X. Vanderbilt, jr., who is yet a school boy,
made his debut as the owner of racing
yacht Saturday, when he entered the Car
m:ta in the annual regatta of the Seawan-
haka Corinthian Yacht Club.
In this same regatta Cornelius Wander
bilt, jr., not only entered his new thirty
foot sloop Veda, but undertook to sail her
sat in the cockpit and did not seem to
mind the spray that flew over the yacht
occasionally when she heeled TO the puffs
Young Cornelius did not make as good a.
showing young Willie X, but the ac-
tivity of these two young gentlemen is the
talk of yachting circles.
Willie X, jr., has all the vim and dash
of his papa and the fact that the Carmita
was beaten only 70 seconds by that clever
boat the Wasp is vastly encouraging TO ali
the young gentleman's friends.
There two other Nanderbilts who
show the tendency of the family, although
they have not yet made their yachting
debut One is Alfred, sen of Cornelius and
the other is Reginald, son OF Willie x.
The former is an undergraduate at Yale
and the latter is only school ICY, who has
not yet entered college. But both of them
Will be owning and racing yachts soon.
Boating of some sort is bred in the kan-
derbilt stock. TIL old oommodore's choice
of a truck boat as the basis of the VAN
derbilt m lions has had an influence on
every succeeding generation.
There Is this difference, however The old
commodore turned to water as a means of
making money; his descendants go that
way in order to spend it.

A Rings Strange Journeyings,

From the Philadelphia Press
Miss Reba Bryu of North 21st street.
Philadelphia, tells of a strange experience
Two years ago while travelling through
Southern Italy, Miss Bryn lost a leather
satchel. There was quite sum of money
and some valuable papers in the satchel,
but what worried her most was the loss
of her engagement ring, which was of
very quaint design, having been the mar
riase token in the family OF her tiance for
several generations. OF course every en-
deavor was made TO recover the lost ar
tcle. Advertisements were inserted in all
the principal papers of the province. and
although most strenuous efforts were made,
nothing was ever heard of the satchel. A
few days ago, while visiting a fiiend in
West Philadelphia, a street piano wheeled
up before the porch on which they were
seated, and after playing a few melodies, a
young Italian girl came up to collect
money. Imagine Miss Bryn's surprise 10
recognize her long-lost ring on the girls
finger. Questioning the girl in her native
language brought forth the fact that her
family was from the district in which The
satchel had been lost Her father had been
a sheep raiser, and a shepherd dog he own
ed had one day come in with satchcl in
his mouth. No one in the family could
read, which probably accounted for the
fact that il had never been returned. An
explanation of the circumstances, together
with a generous reward, restored the ring
to its rightful owner.

The Real Culprits That Destroy Bird
Life.

The Real Culprits That Destroy Bird
Life.
From the Illustrated American.
1t is not the English sparrow that is to
blame for the rapid disappearance Of our
song birds. The hardened culprits that
must be arraigned before the bar Of con-
science are our own mothers. wives, daugh-
tiers, sisters, sweethearts-often the ten
derest of women gentle-nanded and pitiful
Of all suffering.
The dreadful query that will Insist upon
presenting itself Is this: When feminine
compassion joins issue with feminine fash
ion, does compassion go to the wall?
At present, unhappily, there can be but
one answer. Compassion, it would seem
is but a feeble-minded virtue, anyway.
Confronted by such an irresistible impulse
as the desire to look attractive, 1t meekly
gives up the contest.
A critical observer the other day. during
an hours walk on one of New York's fash
ionable thoroughfares, devoted his atten-
ton to the women's hats. Embalmed in
these masterpieces of the milliner's art he
counted half a hundred different species Of
birds, many of them our rarest and most
beautiful songsters 1t was observed, too,
that young women were not the only cul-
prits. The middle-aged and the elderly,
with even less excuse, were equally prone
to proclaim their inhumanity by their
headdresses.
That one brief observation was more
than enough to explain the silence that is
falling on our woodland glades. 1t made
1t matter Of wonder indeed, that the
blue bird, the oriole, the green-fnch, with
their fatal dover of beauty, have not al
ready become extinct before the pitiless de-
mands of fashion.
1t is easy at this rate to foretell the day
when the bobolink's tangled chime and the
golden chant of the hermit thrush will be
for us but memories. enshrined In the
verses Of poets.
But 1t Is not only the song birds that
suffer. Many Of our most beautiful and in
