Is 1t because she does not know
or because she is indifferent to
conditions that milady insists upon
wearing the real aigret instead of
the imitation one, which Is scarcely
less beautiful? 1t is hard to be-
lieve she would buy the feather if
she knew that the killing of one
mother bird means the extermina-
ton of an entire family, and that
great cruelty is practiced in the OBJ
tanning of the desired plume.
This plume of the white heron
grows only in the breeding season,
and when the mother is killed the
little ones are left to starve.
The demands of millinery during
the last 25 years caused such in
roads upon the breeding colonies of
herons that these birds are almost
exterminated in some parts of the
world. The southern coasts Of the
United States are nearly depopu-
lated. and on Cobbs island, Vir.
ginia. alone, 10000 birds were
killed in single season. Vessels
were fitted out with provisions and
ammunition sufficient for a sum.

"WHITE Slavery
Does Exist to Large Extent in New
York, Says Prof. jerks.

New York, Oct. 29.-Jeremiah jerks,
professor of political economy and pol
tiles at Cornell University, gave out a
statement here today in which he says
that "white slavery" does exist in New
York as charged by a recent anti
Tammany magazine article. but he
does not hold any political organization
responsible for the traffic.
Prof. jerks, who was a member of
the commission appointed by Congress
to investigate immigration conditions,
says in part:
~ hav no knowledge as to whether
the traffic is greater in New York than
in Paris. l believe, however, that it is
greater in New York than ever in the
United States--first because New York
is the largest city: second. because it
is the chief port of entry. Women i'm
ported fer immoral purposes for Chi
cago and Seattle largely come through
New York and many of the dealers are
here. There is no question that the
traffic exists on a large scale in New
York and that from New York many
women are sent to other states and
|even some to foreign countries"

ARIZONA CACTUS.
Thought to Have Been Brought Nort,
BY Indians Years Ago. H.

Located in the northern portion of
Blue Lake township, covering an area
of several acres and preventing to q
great extent the successful farming of
the land in that vicinity, is an immense
patch of cactus of the prickly pear va
riety. Naturally growing only in the
warmer portions of America the spread
of the big patch in the extreme north
ern part of MuskegOn county has been
the cause of no little comment, and the
stories of it's origin are numerous.
Nearly half a century ago G.. F.
Wheeler, connected with the agricul-
tural department at that time. in going
over Muskegon county happened upon
this strange cactus patch. He pro-
ncunced the plant native of Arizona
and was able to explain it's presence in
Michigan only on the theory that some
Indian tribe, either migrating here will
linging or driven northward rather
than become enslaved to some more
powerful tribe, had brought the plant.
Legends of how the cactus was
brought to this country are still told by
the residents of Blue Lake., who have
heard from time immemorial the stories
of it's origin from the lips of aged In
dldnS,. VINO aO years ago were numerous
in the county The Indians used to say
that the cactus was brought from Ari-
IONA here by the band of Zuni Indians,
who conquered by another of the minor
tribes, were forced to accept exile or
slavery.
The date of this coming to Michigan
was placed by these Indians at about
the year 400 from estimates made in
the stories told them by their forefa-
theirs, and to prove their statements
that the cactus was the best of food
they would burn off the barbs and
make various native dishes of them. In
spite of the climate here the cacti seem
to flourish in the dry regions of Blue
Lake and in the last few years have
been extending the area which they
cover..-Evening Wisconsin.

MUCH GOLD.
Annual Statement of Nations Output
Soon to Be Made.

One of the first duties incumbent on
the new director of the mint, Professor
Andrew of Harvard, will be the issue
of the annual statement on the worlds
production of gold during the last year.
1t is expected that the report this fall
will show continued increase in the
worlds production as well as in the
production of silver This increase will
not be due. however, to the American
mines, for it is believed by experts In
Washington that the production in the
United States as well as in Alaska will
show decrease.
. In 1907 the worlds production
amounted to s4lO 555, 900 This was an
increase of IS, 100000 beyond the precec-
ing year. For 1908 there viii probably
be an equally large increase. The enor-
nous development in the South African
fields will! account for the greater por-
ton OF this increase, due mainly to the
vigorous exploitation OF South African
filming properties. On the other hand,
Australia is declining in the amount OF
gold output Mexico is showing ten
dency toward increased production. and
the forthcoming figures will show an
appreciaole advance.
But the part of the world to which
experts are looking fer heavy produce
ton in the future is Central America
and South America. while the Siberian
field is also thought to offer vast possi-
bilities.
Unless the Nevada fields. which have
not yet made returns, come forward

the United States will be shown to have
decreased its output in the forthcoming
figures. Alaska is not holding its own.
while the California and Colorado gold
fields are also, decreasing their produce
tion. The production for the United

was decrease Of about $4.0o0. 900 from
the preceding year.
This decrease was the ffiist halt Of
