Wu Ting Fang is fond of relating q story
about Chinese doctor who didn't satisfy
the more indignant his friends became at
the unsuccessful physician. At last, when
the sick man was in final stage and death
was imminent, the relatives laid violent
hands on the unfortunate doctor, and, ty-
ing him up to tree, started to admin
lister q smart beating. But while his assail-
ants were looking for stick with which to
beat him, the doctor freed himself, and,
jumping into the river, swan to safety.

who desire to be smart on economical
lines.
Now the common sparrow, as Nature
has designed it, is rather Outlook
ing creature, especially when it is dead.
The feminine desire for color and
sharp contrasts which our charming
lady friends have alone inherited from
their disreputably savage forefathers
or foremothers-is not satisfied by
the shaded browns of the feathery
street arab.
The manipulation Of modern nil
inery magnifcence is, of course, per-
fectIy aware of the tastes of his clients.
Does he content. himself with "stuffilSg"
each sparrow, sewing it on shape,
and sticking his creation" into some
retailers shop window? No! He sees
possibilities in that silent little bundle
of brown feathers, and acts accord
ingly.
He has large staff of workers, some
of whom call themselves artists - in
many cases justifable claim-and
into their hands he delivers his latest
consignment of Sead sparrows- The
latter when they reach their destina-
ton, are only worth about a penny a
dozen-sparrows are cheap to-day.
Now, the sparrow-forms the foun-
dation of brilliant scheme in color
and feathers. 1t first undergoes the
experience of a bath for cleaning pur-
poses. Then the little limp creat ure
is hung out on line to dry, a COM
oanion of several in similar plight.
The subsequent Qualification of the
sparrow progresses by rapid stages.
The feathers of More pretentious rep
-esentatives of the winged world are
,aAed in frequent requisition. Pigeons,
for instance contribute largely to the
material for building up the glorified
sparrow, and even the common or back
garden rooster turns in ohandy at
pinch to aid in the transforms ton.
The sparrow, limp and bedraggled,
passes through the hands of an artist
who possesses the knack of brighten
ing up everything he touches. Under
his magic treatment the poor little
bird grows stout and robust, not to
say sprightly disappearance, once more,
as in life
Now the time has come fora change
of clothing; the sparrow is introduced
to a master of the brush, and he, with
few swift strokes, transforms the
dingy brown of the birds feathers
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1903-01-30

something very tasty in color, the
artist proceeds to add to their beauty.
and, at the same time, relieve the dar-
ing of the color scheme by deftly work
ing in a few feathers from guinea
chick.
In due course the extra pair of wings
is attached to the body of the sparrow.
and in such a way that the real wings
seem to be supplemental part of the
larger ones, and not vice-versa-a fact
which does credit to the responsible
artist. The little chirper is now be-
ginning to assume a more important
pharmaceutical. it may be said that
the tout ensemble even at this stage
is rather imposing, what with color
and added life. But more has to be
done before the censor of millinery
wares is satisfied. Several gosling
feathers have been treated with brush
and pencil until they too look slash
ing" This is done by the artist, who
rapidly brushes few strokes of spe-
cially prepared colors diagona1ly on
each feather.
In the meantime, couple of goose
quilts have been so cleyerly deprived of
portion of the feathers that, when
the remainder are curled and twisted,
a very fair imitation of a pair of os-
prey feathers is produced, ready for
the artistic manipulation who is pre-
pairing the feathery masterpiece.
/ have watched the preparation of
these quilts with great interest. There
is, believe, great demand for them
during the autumn and winter season,
and therefore large numbers are
turned out in the factory.
The girls employed at this work have
very deft fingers, and work at surpris-
ing rate; whilst, so cleverly is per-
formed the ripping away of superfiu-
Gus feathers, the pairing of the Ebony"
part of the quill, and the curling Of
the dainty imitation of osprey feath-
ers, that to the ordinary eye the COM
pleted article seems quite genuine.
The painted feathers and the imita-
tion osprey feathers are cunningly
added to the wonderful creation" by
the artist, who manipula tes the various
items at his disposal with a stolidity
and matter-of-fact composure worthy

Quickness, minus fuss, is the forte
of not only this man, but of almost ev-
cry worker-mostly foreign-in the
factory, whose proprietor kindly gave
me facilities for obtaining material for
this article.
By this time the glorifed sparrow
has almost reached the zenith of it's
splendor. There is not very much
more to do to complete the extra ordi-
nary creature which, no doubt, will
edify the public when it makes its. ap-
pearance in its intended destina ton

A fan-like collection of prettily-dyed
feathers is evidently the clou of the
whole thing. This is cleverly added
on to the rest of the multi-feathered
construction, and without a sigh or
a smile of relief, the "artist" lays the

It may be said that duplicat .'birds"
of this description are seldom produced
by the same firm. In some way or
other an alteration of color or posi-.

slight difference in appearance, but
the result is the same-the construe-
