PEOPLE SCARED THE LION.
Zoo Animal Escaped from Cage, But
Was Glad to Get Back
in II.

A group of loungers were discussing
the recent escape of lion at one of the
summer parks just outside of Newark.
and one expressed his belief that It must
have been something OF q seass, says the
New York Press.
Scare" echoed a man connected
with the park. Il should say 1t was a
scare. The people made such a din I
was afraid the poor old fellow would
lie of fright before we could get him
back TO his cage.
We found him hiding behind tree,
and II was ten minutes before we co,fJ
induce him to face that yelling mob
and get back to where he knew he was
safe. He Is the gentlest old fellow In
the world, and never would have wan.
dered out had he not been frightened
by the man who fell into the cage from
the cycle whirl above OF course that
upset him, and when he saw the door
open he naturally ran out.
Then the people made such a noise
that his one idea was to fee. The more
he ran the more they yelled, and when
we did get him back II was hours be-
fore he stopped trembling.
1T was shame to scare the poor old
fellow like that"

Immigrant Girl Who Developed
Faculty which Brought Her
Success.

| know OF d girl who entered store
three years ago, when she had been IN
America only six months. She was NOT
attractive, but she developed the re-
markable ability Of remembering every
body who came up 70 her counter, and
often managed TO get their names. They
were surprised, says writer In Success
Magazine, when they came up, to hear
her call them by name, She not oniy
remembered their names and faces, but
she also studied their peculiar tastes,
and remembered what they liked and
what they disliked.
The clerks who had been there long
time made fun of this girl. and expressed
their surprise that an immigrant should
be taken into the store. Some OF the
best customers at first refused to allow
her to walt on them
Her unattractiyeness, and the con-
seriousness that she was a newcomer
that she had been In this country only
few months. seemed to spur her on; and.
while the other clerks were idling, jok-
Ing and laughing with customers, she
was studying the situation, Watching
everybody, getting every bit OF informa-
tlon she could, and she resolved TO hit
herself 10 a position where the others
would admire rather than criticise her.
In one year from the time she entered
the store, this young lady was receiving
the largest salary In her department.
had charge of one of the stocks, and was
even intrusted with part OF the buying.
In one year, this girl put to shame the
American girls who had been In the
establishment for years While others
were complaining that there was mo
chance" to get up. that the heads were
chosen by favoritism, this young i'm
migrant was finding her opportunity ~
her first counter.

SCARCITY eF cHiNeHlLLAs.
Danger OF KAhnetion Of the velu-
able Fur Bearing An
imals.

Cnosul Mansfield Of Valparaiso writes
that chinchiila skins, much priced and
highly valued IN the United States.
England and European countries be-
cause of their beautiful color and fine
quality OF the fur, are product OF
Bolivia and Chilli only. The consul
continues:
The chinchilli Is q small animal that
burrows In the ground, and resembles
In general appearance a rat, except In
the coat, which is beautiful silken
light gray fur. Ii Is found In the Cor
dillera ranges o. the Andes in Chiie
and Bolivia, the best quality coming
from the latter country, They, are
found In great numbers in the higher
mountain ranges. But like all animals
whose skins have high market value.
chinchillas have been killed with Inn
unity in season and out OF season in
recent years. AS result they are
threatened with extinction.
They are captured in various ways,
but the most common method Is 10
hunt them with dogs, the fox terrier
being the most useful and skillful In
their capture. The rapid extermina-
tion of the chinchilla and the absolute
lack OF protection or regulation IN
taking them has resulted In tremen-
dous advance in the price OF the skins
In the past two years. AS an evidence
of the commercial interest In the fur
produced by this little animal two
American and two French firms keep
expert purchasing agents In the field
during the shipping season-January
to July. Coquimbo, Chilli, is the chief
port of export, that being the port Of
shipment for the Bolivian product al
so. Last year there were exported from
Coquimbo $4,000 dozen skins, the ma
jority OF which went to the United
States. one agent shipping 1850 dozen
and another $500 dozen TO their re-
spective New York houses, Prices last
year were almost double those paid in
the year previous.
At the last session of the Chilian
congress bill was passed prohibiting
the killing of chinchillas within GER
tain season and providing penalties for
violation Of the law. But the natural
habitat of tbs ebiRchilla iH the Wilds
OF the Andes mountains makes detec-
ton and convictions for violation OF
the law regulating their killing diff
cult and 1t seems probable that this
valuable fur-producing animal. like
many other wild animals indigenous to
the forests and mountains Of North
and South America, is destined to
early sxtinctioq.

Medicine. From the medical point OF
view there seems logically oRiy one
side to the question, but there are ply

upon the uselsssness and even danger
of the process In a very plain state
ment recently issued to the taxpayers
Of Pennsylvania Commissioner Of
Health Dixon presents solely the finan-
cial aspect Of neglected vaccination,
With ths hope of thereby impressing
those to whom statements regarding
sickness and death do Rat appeal. At
the lowest estimate It costs the state
$3.50 for each person outside Of cities
quarantined to prevent the spread OF
smallpox. This means that during 1905
more than 100000 OF state money
was thus expended. or. as we'll put by
DR.. Dixon, was wasted simply to graf
ify yblm of those who opposed vac
cinatioa, # sueh people do not appre-
ciate this waste Of money. surely those
who are protected by VACCINATION are

sources Of the stata being consumed
In this way in order to Berlait few
obstinate fanatics to indulge their pet
fancy Of being allowed TO have small
pox II they so desire" A remedy men
toned by DR.. Dixon. namely, meeting

ment to such recalcitPants. The syperi-
ence of Williamsport In expending

CHICKEN FEATHERS
BONE OF THE Uses To WHICH
THEY ARE TURNBD.
What Finally Becomes Of the Cover
ing of Ducks, Geese and Tur-
tsys-Some Trade
Secrets.

One turkey supplies more different
grades of feathers than q seasons re-
ceipts OF turkeys show different grades
Of turkeys, and although FIVE cents q
pound covers the range Of difference tn
value of the toughest old tom turkeys
and the plumpest young hen, the
feathers sell at fve cents pound for
the body feathers up to 40 cents a
pound for the fine tail feathers.
Local poultry men, says the Indi
annapolis News, sort six to eight grades
Of turkey feathers and the buyers
make even more, assortments. the
feathers being used for as many diff
ferent purposes. The small body
feathers, which are Used for pillows
and feather beds. are worth about five
cents pound for common mixed
White feathers are worth more, ac'
cording to grade, bringing generally
about three times the price paid for
mixed feathers.
The fine tail feathers used for dust
ers are kept separate and sell for
about 40 cents a pound and the "skirt"
feathers are worth nearly as much.
The wing and point" feathers are also
carefully saved and sold to manufac-
turers OF featheTbone and other sub
stitutes for whalebone, and the larger
ones find their way TO milliners, after
being made over, cleaned and dyed.
Some OF the small feathers are made
up into artificial bird breasts and tails
that adorn countless bonnets. They
may cause TIE bonnet owners twinge
OF conscience for wearing such bea.
tiful bird when, in reality. they are
wearing bonnet OF cleverly arranged
chicken or turkey feathers.
Duck feathers are worth about 35
cents pouR4 for white. to 80 cents
for mixed. Dealers say the principal
reason that goose and duck feathers
are worth more than the finest turkey
and chicken feathers is that. aside
from being flufher, there Is an absence
OF odor to them that cannot be over
come entirely In chicken and turkey
feathers. The reason that white chick
en- and turkey feathers are worth more
than mixed, however, Is that they are
available for mixing with the better
grades for pillows.
Most OF the chicken feathers 60 in
the five TO ten cents a pound class, to
be used for cheap feather beds and
pillows. the white feathers being saved
separate and bringing good premium
over the mixed grades Fine tail and
wing feathers are saved separate, sell.
ing as high as 40 cents.
Feathers shipped from this market
are packed In bales of 200 pounds or
in six-foot sacks The tail and wing
feathers are usually packed in boxes
and sometimes tied In neat bundles.
Five chickens will give a pound Of
feathers. and with Indianapolis firms

ment this market has nearly two tons
Of feathers a week to sell. A weeks
output can be packed In 20 bales, 4x5x3
feet each, but II the feathers were left

A single carload of feathers shipped
to Cincinnati the other day contained
about six tons. They cost the shipper
more than $1,000 Cincinnati and Chi
