Undertakers for Birds.

A branch of business conducted by
a Philadelphia establishment devoted
to supplying and boarding feathered
pets is that of preparing dead birds
for burial. Children who have lost
their canaries or other songsters
through disease or accident bring the
little cadavers to the store to be laid
out in becoming style Tiny collins,
each just large enough for bird, are
kept in stock, also quantities of pale
pink and blue cotton. The latter is
used for filing the bird coffin, and on
this the bird is laid. The effect when
brides body is "decently" composed
on the pink and blue cotton is sufi-
cient to console the little mourning
master or mistress. The children then
convey their coffin away for burial
Funeral expenses are light.

oLD-TlME "PLUG" TOBACCO.
Made by Pounding Leaf and Honey
Into an Anger Hole.

In the jury room at the courthouse
a few days ago farmer said to a
Kansas City Star man, as he took a
chew of tobacco
"All the difference in the world in
tobacco. I've tried some 20 different
kinds and none is as good as that we
used to make ourselves down ON the
farm. We would take a maple log
while twas green and bore dozen
holes in 1t with a two-inch auger
They were our molds. We selected
our choicest tobacco and soaked it for
week or more in wild honey. Then
we'd take the leaf to the log, get a
good hickory 'tamping' stick and go. to
work.
"a little ball of the honey-soaked to-
bacco would Be put in an auger hole
and tamped in with the stick and a
hammer. Wed pound 1t in solid. Ball
after ball would be rammed in and
pounded until the whole became a
solid plug. When the hole was nearly
full we would pound in plug and then
the log would be put away to season.
AS the wood dried the moisture would
be drawn from the tobacco. And when
1t was split the sweetest tobacco ever
made was taken from it. We called 1t
plug tobacco and that's where the
name originated" +-
