Artificial Ai7rettes.

An announcement that bird lovers
will be glad to hear is that an artificial
aigrette has been produced, said to be
more beautiful than the real feather
which has brought about so many ap-
peals for mercy.
The aigrette is not just now much
in demand by the milliners, but it has
usually been such necessary adjunct
that no doubt the whirligig of fashion
will bring it into use again. II an arti'
fetal feather of equal beauty with the
genuine has been contrived, one &C.
count of women with the recording an
gel has been squared, but the report
that such feat has been accom-.
pllshed has not been verified.
The natural aigrette, as most per-
sons know, is taken from the mother
bird during the breeding season, so
that not only is her life sacrificed but
the lives of all her nestlings. No won
der an aigrette on woman's head is
a sign Of reproach and that the hui

the custom of thus robblng the birds.

The Political activity of the Ameri-

the avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage Of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi.
cine and healing to the schools now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os'

would prevent the healers of the
