see over here in America, as we'll
as IN the other portions OF the civilized
WorIo, that ladies affect the plumage of
blrdS IN their hats" said Thomas Jeans
OF sydney. n. 5. W, at the KnutsfOrd
Yesterday Continuing he said: Il am
sure If ladies stopped TO think they would
cease this practice of adjoining their hats
m this fashion. Over in England they
nave an association called the Bird Pro-
lection society, which is endeavoring TO
put down this practice through the med
lum OF pamphlets and literature general
" This society is extending its opera
uonS throughout the British colonies and
l believe that there is q movement on
loot in America 10 establish a similar
humane society. 1t is well known fact
t mat the plumage OF birds is always
brightest and best in the breeding season,
ana at this period the collectors of and
traders IN their skins are unusually busy
Inc cruelty of killing birds at this time is
increased by the death of a victim often
causing the demise of the fiedgling. With
the object in view of preventing the III
innate determination of number of
various species of birds, the society is
sendlng out petitions urging the preven-
ton of the wholesale slaughter and eX-
portatlOn of the lovely birds of paradise,
humming birds. and various other species.
Assistance also has been offered TO a
similar society recently inauSurated in
China, in checking the traffic in skins and
feathers of the game birds and other
species peculiar to that country.

Mrs. j. Duffy, also of Sydney. In speak
ing OF conditions in the antipOdeS yeSter-

been the means of helping out the grain
raisers generally to the extent that large
orders for oats have been received for i'm
mediate shipment to the scene of opera
tons. for forage for the cavalry mounts.
Owing to our being south of the equator
and consequently our harvest time coming
along now the orders are catching US just
at the right time" He further reported
that the frozen meat industry which has
been such a feature in the export trade of
Australia, is in hOurishing condition,
and growing larger each year, especially
in the carcasses of sheep. Mr.. Duffy
tells the same old story in regard to the
patriotism of the colonistS over England

South Africa.

that mining camp yesterday and regis
tered at the White House. In speaking
of the smallpox situation at Mercur last

twenty-five cases of smallpox in Mercur
since the outbreak, with about five at
present; out Of the total we have had
three or four cases which were serious,
While the balance Of them were in a very
light form. We have the situation well
in hand, with the result that the quar-
antine on the town has been partially
raised and We will in all probability, I'M
less there are further developments, raise

idea of taking a boat to Antelope island
