FEATHERS OF GREAT PRICE
Rare PIunder from Birds-.A Few
AiCrettes Worth 5,2s3,6OO Rcis.

Nare tIunueT from plEuA-sA re"
AiGrettes Worth 5,2s3,GOO Rcis.
Many curious things so through the
appraisers stores, and some of the
most interesting through the fifth di-
vision, where millinery goods are eX-
amined and appraised. All sorts of
birds and feathers are examined by
this division. Within a few days sew
eral large boxes were examined, each
containing something like 500 stuffed
parOquets. \ box was opened this
week in which it was estimated there
were nearly 5000 Japanese swallows.
These little birds are caught by the
japanese i'm immense numbers by
means of nets. Their plumage is very
plain, but their wings, which are eX-
traordinary long, make them espe-
cially valuable to milliners. The birds
when imported are rudely stuffed with
cotton, and each one is made up into
a little roll about the size and shape
of an ordinary cigar Before being
used they are twisted into various
shapes and dyed, the wings spread and
new feathers added, and they are made
into gay and fancy birds.
The most valuable kind of feather
goods that passes through the apprais-
ers' hands is undoubtedly the aigrette.
This feather is worth more than its
weight in gold. The aigrette is OBJ
tained from a bird called the egret,
found in China, Japan, Egypt and
South America, and sometimes in Flor
ida. South America, where, along the
upper waters Of the Amaze, the In
dians shoot the birds with blow tubes
and small arrows. But Paris is the
L 9
as London is for ostrich plumes, and
the greatest part Of the imports come
directly from the French capital.
Within the past two months aigrettes
to the value of $4,000 have been i'm
ported.
There are two varieties Of the aig-
rette, the long and the short, and their
value is in inverse proportion to their
size. The short variety, which is OBJ
tanned from ~ smaller bird, IS cx-
tremely delicate and fine, and is worth
from S22 to $25 an ounce. Only a few
feathers on each bird are valuable
and it is estimated that fifty or sixty
birds would have to be killed. The long
aigrette is worth not much more than
half as much.
These feathers are looked after as
carefully by the appraisers as are pre-
cious stones. They are imported in
soldered tin boxes, and are locked up
and guarded until they are examined
They are inYoiced in the Brazilian
unit of value, reS which is very small,
so that figures giving the values of the
imports are often startingly large. One
