an appeal to ladies not to wear the feath-
ers of song birds in their hats He said-
From twenty-five to thirty million
dead birds are annually imported into
England TO supply the demands of fash
ion. The supply for Europe is not les,
than 150.OOO000. and that for the United
States 5oOo0O0O Many species of song
birds with bright plumage are being ex-
terminated 1t is not that women mean
to be heartless. They do not know the
facts, or do not stop to think about them.
To preserve the brilliant coloring. the
wings of some birds are torn from their
living bodies.
If God had meant women to wear
feathers. he. would have feathers grow
on them. Women are beautiful enough
without feathers. Their beauty should
be of the mind, the character. the soul.
Some of our recent Presidents have been
bird killers. and one or two Christian
ministers of this town have been arrest
ed for shooting birds against the law Bur
some persons do not believe in killing
things for sport. nor in vivisectiOn for
scientific purposes without anaesthetics

Birds are our brothers and sisters. If
We are children of God, so are they The
same intelligence, life, and love that fs
in us. is in them. If we have souls 81,
have they. The difference between US is
not in kind. but in degree. Any cruelty,
