The Royal Society for the Protec-
ton of Birds is waging a vigorous
campaign in England in behalf of
what is known as the importation of
plumage prohibition bill. This bill
is explained by its name. Those
who have inaugurated the movement
believe that once Great Britain has
set the example other civilized nations
can be persuaded to adopt the same
principle of prohibition. 1t is pos
sible, therefore, that the bill offered
by Lord Avebury may have a far
reaching effect in protecting birds
and ''dislocating the whole nefarious
traffic in ornamental feathers and
plumes."
In America the friends of the birds
have met with only partial success in
their efferots to prevent the wanton
destruction of the innocents, carried
on to meet the millinery demands Of
fashions devotees. Undoubtedly a
large sympathetic interest in the new
movement will develop here.-Chicago

one on the right, the other on the

Chew Your Whisky.

A new and novel cure for drunken
ness is proposed by the now famous
Mr.. Fletcher, who took a hint from
the wise old cud-chewing COW, and in
vented perpetual mastication. Mr.
FLETCHER has applied to inebriates his
discoveries relative to mastication,
and asserts that his method has made
prohibitionists of a large number of
hard drinkers. The remedy is sim
pie. Instead of gulping down the
usual three fingers" in the old, famil-
lar way, letting it irradiate it's sun
shine in one internal mechanism as
prescribed in the ancient Bacchic rites,
the whisky is taken in sips by the pa
tient or victim, who proceeds to chew
1t stolidly for fifteen or twenty min
utes. gurgling 1t around in his mouth
until it is thoroughly insalivated. This,
FLETCHER says, creates a physical in.
tolerance of excess, and it is not long
before the victim is taking his "nips"
with medicine dropper. Chew your
whisky; that's the secret of temper
ance.-Washington Post.
