The method here given for mounting
birds Is used by a taxidermis of Smith
sonian Institute.
Place the bird on it's back on table
and separate the feathers on the breast
bone; then from the neck cut the skin
as Gar back as possible. loosen to the
wing bone, which should be cut from
the body at the shoulder Follow same
with both sides; also the legs, which
should be separated from the body at the
thigh. Carefully cut the ligaments at the
tail and turn skin wrong side out and
back over neck and head. Remove eyes.
brain, tongue and all particles OF fat or
meat possible, then dust with the powder
or soap and I'LL up cavities with cotton.
Make a body and neck of paper. not too
loose. and wrap with thread.
Also wrap all bones with cotton; then
turn the skin right side out, lay in the
neck and body, fasten theedges OF skin
together in front with pins; also pin the
wings to body. Sharpen the ends Of two
wires, one of which must be twice the
length of bird from foot to top of head:
The second wire should be half the
length OF first. Pass longwise through
the foot near leg bone. through body. neck
and top OF head The short wire should
pass through foot, leg and stop at point
near center OF body. Right here we be-
speak the patience of the student; this
stage has been called the drunken stage
But the most dificult part is past and
the finishing should be done with much
deliberation.
Fasten the wires at the feet to block
or stand: cut the wire at the top of head
after the proper length OF neck has been
taken; put eyes in the head and straighten
lids with point of pin; adjust the feath-
ers in the natural position; tie the bill
together and wrap the entire bird with
thread loosely.
Set aside for week or more and place
In case: then remove thread, touch slight
~ with clolor or varnish, also change any
slight defect.
Birds occupy less space by emitting
stand and laying in boxes lined with cot
ton.
Some specimens which have large
heads, for example, the hooded duck.
must have the back Of head crushed with
pincers 40 show the skin TO the turned
back. In extraordinary large heads the
skin may be open at the back OF head.
Birds with heavy wings should have
the bones wrapped with wire. passed over
body under skin and connected.
TO remove any stains on feathers, rub

A RELIABLE PILE CURE,

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest and
surest pile cure on the market, because it
contains no mineral poisons nor opium
nor cocaine, but can be used with alb
solute safety and certainty of cure.
Many physicians are now using the
PYRAMID Pile Cure in place of surgical
operations, being painless, convenient to
use, and the patient can attend to his
daily occupation while the cure is being
made, as it is used at night and no addi-
tional treatment is necessary.
DIR. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile
cure will prove a blessing to mankind
when it is remembered that heretofore a
surgical operation was considered the only
cure with all its danger to life, intense
pain and an expense of from $40 to $10O
to say nothing of the possible return OF
the trouble. The Pyramid Pile Cure is
sold by druggists at so cents and $1.OO
and does the work quickly and safely

In the scanty literature on the sub
ject of opium smoking the concensus of
opinion, both medical and lay, is to the
effect that moderate indulgence i'm opium
smoking is not more harmful than the
moderate indulgence in beer. The trou-
Bile is, however. that the white man-es-
pecially the American--is not prone to
moderation in anything that he likes,
and of which the results don't show.
The danger which temperance advocates
find in the liquor traffic are lnfinitesimal
compared to those attendant upon the
abuse of opium. The person who con-
sumes alcohol to excess becomes noisy and
violent. He attracts public attention and

the point of the needle is inserted in the
hole and pressed downward and a quick
twist seats the little cylinder of opium
now quite hard and dark brown in color
on the pipe bowl. The hole left by the
withdrawn needle makes a continuous
passage from the outside of the pill to
the interior of the bowl and so through
the long bamboo stem to the mouth of
the smoker. In smoking the pill the pipe
bowl is inverted over the lamp in SUCH
a way as to allow the point of the flame
almost to touch the tiny hole through
the center of the opium pellet. The
opium begins to melt and a sharp inspir-
alton through the mouthpiece of the pipe

dlps the needle-called a Yen ok-into
the box containing the treacly, opium and
gets piece about the size of a pea to
adhere to it. This little globule of opium
Is then held some inches above the
flame of the lamp.
AS the heat reaches it the opium be-
gins to swell and change color. 1t be-
comes, when pure, a delicate golden
brown and emits a rather pleasant, fruity
odor. 1t is intensely infammable and the
greatest care has to be taken to prevent
the pill" from catching fire while it is
being cooked. If it does it flares like aspit
of sealing wax. If all goes well the pellet
of opium is cooked until the superfuous
moisture has been dried off All this time
the surface of the pipe bowl has also been
heated at the lamp, and an occasional
tW1rl OF the pellet against the lamp bowl
has Kept 1t in an approximately spherical
shape. The work of really forming the
pill now begins and it is an operation re-
quiring great deal of acquired dexterty
With the dexterious twirling motion of
the fingers the prospective pill is made
to assume the shape of cone. While
sum PtidHl d sWlIL thrust OF the point or
the needle through the central orifice of
the bowl converts the cone into a cylinder.
The cylinder is little irregular on the
upper edge, but a twirl along the rim
or the bowl corrects it. That practically
completes the cooking of the pill, for
the pill of the opium smoker is not a
sphere, but a cylinder-a thing like a
spool of thread, and, like it, having a
mole through it's long axis. The next
thing to do is to fix the pill in position
on the bowl so that it can be smoked.
This is accomplished by heating the ORR
flee Of the bowl and the bottom of the
pellet of opium at the same time. Then

Most Interest All Boys.
The study of taxidermy Is one of the

which the birds and fauna Of any country
should be known. Yet the average per-
son Is ignorant OF common facts connect
ed with the free dweIlers, with whom they
come in contact daily. Few boys and girls
are able to describe the birds that pick
up the crumbs from the dorstep or carol
the approach Of day. The clear and per-
feet notes of voice are unheard. even the
arrangement and shape Of feathers Is not
attractive; the position Of the feet, color
of the eye and polse OF the head Is lost to
the careless observer. Plants, insects,
birds and animals are all closely related;
the plant dependent on the insect for the
fertilization Of its flowers, and the bird
and animal dependent on both for food
and shelter. Any one who spends time i'm

SORRY HE DID TT.

1t seems that the Rev. DIR. Jacob
Schlegel of New York Is suffering from
the cruel tooth of remorse and conse-
quently is much distressed in mind and
soul. He has performed the marriage
ceremony no less than three thousand
times, and is saddened by the thought
that he has been an agent for the pro-
motion of the unhappiness of six thou
serVation has convinced him that mar
rage is failure, and that a young
man who gets married is only one or
two degrees removed from an absolute
idiot. The reverend gentleman makes
the rather startling statement that the
cause of marital misery is the girls,
nine-tenths of whom have no ideas
above friIls, furbelows and shirt
waists 'The girls, The says, ST do not
like them. They will insist on having
SO much. If their husands make $40 q
week they want a hired girl!'
The women, of course, will denounce
the Rev. Dr. Schlegel as a slanderous
old monster, or something else equally
as vile, but there is some truth in what
he says. He is wrong, however, in
placing the responsibility for marital
infelicity exclusively upon the girls.
When young woman marries poor
young man she does not think of the
struggle that is ahead of them to make
both ends meet and provide food, cloth
ing and shoes for the little Willies and
Nellies who are soon to put in an ap-
pearance, but is happy in the contem-
plation of the paragon that is going to
be hers-her very own dear hubby She
pictures him as the handsome, braYe,
generous and devoted Reginald de
Montmorency, the hero of her favorite
novel, and for time there is a regular
honey and dovey life in the little cot
tage, with lonesome vine struggling
along the railing of the porch
But as the months come and go she
begins to realize that her paragon is not
what she pictured him to be. He is not
the same as when they used to COO at
each other IN the hammock and utter
long drawn signs in the moonlight. He
has fallen into the habit of coming
home in the evening and bringing with
him the aroma of sour beer and bar
room sausage He does not dawdle her

with anything and everything she does.
The result is frequent quarrels and
mutual reproaches CUPID, Disguised

flies away to make still other people
miserable.
But there are some married people
whose life is one long sweet poem set
% mandoline music and who become

grow older and age whitens their hair,
