THE GIGANTIC FEATHER BUSINESS.

Farmers and shippers used to throw
away their feathers. Now the feather
business has grown to one of gigantic
proportions, says a foreign exchange.
1t is a well.known fact that large mum
bers of poultry are imported each
wear; but it is not so well known that
feathers are also imported. 1t is new.
ertheless true. Feathers are imported
into this country from almost every
civilized country in the world, differ
ent kinds coming from different coun'
tries. China leads in the cheap grades
of feathers and sends more pounds
than any other country, which are
mostly duck feathers. There is one
thing about these feathers that is not
very pleasing to the importer, which is
the fact that nearly two.ifths of the
stock is dirt, which at 8 cents pei
pound doubtless makes the Celestial
feel that he is fooling the Yankee
He fails to realize that the price of his
product is regulated according to the
condition of the article, and if he were
to send cleaner article and in a bet
ter condition he would get better
price. The better grades Of feathers
come from Germany, Austria and
Russia, and are goose feathers. Feath'
ers come from the faraway and almost
deserted Palestine, from the North
Sea, Norway and Siberia. From these
countries we get what is known as the
Elder down, which is unlike anything
else in the down line.
1t does not separate like the ordina.
ry down; but sticks together like net
ties, and a pound of it is as large as a
bushel measure. 1t is the product oi
the wild Elder duck, and in color is d
brownish gray. The price ranges from
Sc to $3.50 per pound, and the demand
is always equal to the supply. 1t is
contrary to law to kill these ducks
and the down has to be obtained in q
peculiar manner. They line their nests
with the down on the steep rocks and
ice of the countries named, aud the
feathers are obtained from their nests
The nests can be robbed only twice a
year, as it is said pair of ducks can
only produce enough down to line theil
nests three times year. 1t is used
for expensive quilts almost exclusively
Chicken feathers are growing in de
mand, and especially is this true O
dry-picked. White duck feathers would
sell for as much as goose feathers if il
were not for the fact that they have
an odor that it is impossible TO entirely
remove. Their filling capacity is
equal to goose feathers. With chicken
feathers the color makes but little diff
ference, but the black ones are the
least desirable.
Special machinery is made for clean
ing feathers, and the place where they
are cleaned is called a "feather foun
dry" In this "foundry" the feathers
are steamed, dried, blown, quilted
mixed, sorted and made into pillows
and beds ready for use.-Kansas City
Packer.

"Gentlemen of the jury" said the
attorney for the plaintiff, arising in his
turn, and addressing the IL men in a
deeply impressive manner. III also

tant witness to the last. The learned
counsel upon the other side may smile,
but the disclosures I am about to
make will overturn the fiimsy struct-

about his ears. You can talk any

witness 1 shall produce is one that
cannot be stuffed for the occasion. 1t
will reproduce in your hearing, gentle

IT WAS THE WRONG HAT.-When
James Voorhees,, prominent in Wash
ington as the actor, author, sculptor,
statesman, son of the late senator from
Indiana, was private secretary to Gov
ernor "Blue Jeans" Williams, of In
diana, General Manson once came into
the governors office. General Manson
was auditor of the state. He died not
long ago in Terra Haute. He was
short, but corpulent, bald of head, but
long of beard, which latter was white
and reached to the middle of bis waist
coat.
The governor was nearly seven feet
tall, as lank as Lincoln, with long,
bony hands, odd-sized feet and large
ears. He was always clad in blue
jeans, grown, spun, woven, dyed and
made on his own farm near Vincennes.
His chief fame was his economy and
the fact that he had defeated General
Harrison for the Office. The general
was a typical western man of the
world, an ex-congressman, and he
knew life. The governor was farmer
by profession and congressman and
governor by accident.
The day that the general visited the
governors office he asked political
favor for friend. The governor hesi-
tated and at length refused. There
upon the general picked up hat,
pulled it down over his ears and
stumped out of the room in rage.
When he reached his own office he
said:
~ tell you, boys, the old man says
mo- That's what comes of electlng
a man governor who wears No. hat
and No. 9 shoes. Bah !"
At this moment young Mr.. VOORHEES,
came in, suave, soft-spoken and smooth.
General Manson" he said, "the
governor desires me to present his
compliments to you, and he begs me
to say that re is always glad to well
come you to his Office. You may have
YOUR choice of chairs, and put your
feet on any desk you please, but he
draws the line on you wearing Oft his
new hat"
"What !" exclaimed the general, as
he slipped off the soft hat which fitted
him so loosely.
1t was even so.-Detroit Free Press.
