Zone Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim"

When Q rooster finds : big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farmyard to
come and share 1t. A similar trait OF
human nature Is to be observed when a
man discovers something exceptionally
good--he wants all his friends and
neig bors TO share the benefits OF his
discovery. This is the touch OF nature
that makes the whole world kin. This
explains why people who have been
cured by Cham berlsin's Cough Remedy
write letters TO the manufacturers for
publication, that others similarly ailinR
may Also use IL and obtain relief. Behind
every one Of these letters is warm
hearted wish to be Of use to someone
else.

THE FAIRY ISLE OF
ISCHIA.

Wonderful is the beauty and
even more wonderful the history
of Ischia, which, rising out of the
blue Mediterranean waters to a
height of 1900 feet, stands proud
ly forth the most commanding
point of interest in the fair bay
of Naples.
Ischia is volcanic island
which, by the help of numerous
earthquakes, has shaken itself
into public notice. 1t has been
said of this remarkable dot on the
surface of the far-reaching sea
that it is "an epitome of the
GLOBE" for it's scenery embraces
almost everything that makes for
natural beauty, the fertility of its
soil yields abundantly of nearly
everything that grows, and it's
thermal springs make it a much
sought health resort.
Ischia is classic! Virgil has
sung its praises and Homer pays
it tribute.

BIRDS AND MILLINERY.

Editor Advertiser: You write
this morning of Birds and Mil
iinery." Let me quote few lines
from a recent Eastern paper. Un-
der the heading "Aigrette Plumes
The White Badge of Cruelty"
I read as follows: "No form of
feather adornment has been, and
is more harmful in it's effects,
than the wearing of 'aigrcttes,' or
herons' plumes. These dainty,
graceful feathers, unlike the dis
torted skin of humming bird or
warbler, carry with them no sug-
gestion of death, and many wo-
man on whose bonnet they are
placed is ignorant of the unspeak-
able cruelty the taking of these
feathers entails. If each plume
could tell it's own sad history, ev-
cry humane woman in this land
would raise her voice in protest
against the fashion.
"Aigrette plumes constitute the
wedding dress of the several
species of white herons or egrets
and are worn only during the
nesting season. * The
plume hunter, armed, preferably
with small rifle, shoots the par
ent birds as they return with food
for their young. The birds fall
* * * and within few days
most of the parents have been
killed, while the nestlings, lack
ing their care, die of starvation"

In the long ago the magnates of
Rome had their villas there and
Roman spears, Saracen sabers
and Spanish swords have been en-
gagged in its defense.
"Where Ischia smiles
Ger liquid miles,"
the purple-peaked Epomeus looks
down upon valleys which blush
with roses which run riot, while
nightingales sing both by day and
night in the magnolia and citrus
groves that stretch from the hill
sides down to the sea.
1schia's vineyards yield some of
the most famous wines of Italy,
and though her area embraces
but 2o square miles, they are
among the most wonderful acres
that ever the sun shone upon.
Italy is proud of her Capri, with
its sapphire gates, but it is no
less proud of Ischia, the Mediter-
ranean fairyland.
