VNHhN plunase OF Dlrus, IN Narle-
NyKE ties where cruelty must be
~ practised to secure 1t.
Women are learning to discriminate
in this matter and to forego the wear
ing of plumage that promises to bring
about the extinction of species of
beautiful wild birds or to inflict tor
ture. A proud crest of dainty feath-
ers torn from the back of a mother
bird and the death of nest full of
fiedglings by slow starvation, are not
pleasant suggestions to flaunt with
the group of sweeping aigrettes upon
the head of beauty. For the wearer
must be either uninformed, or indif-
ferent, or unmindful of cruelty. None
of the excuses will pass muster with
Intelligent people.
Aside from a very few sorts. the
feathers we have worn recently and
those we will wear, are made from
the plumage of domestic or other edi-
BILE birds. No cruelty is practised in
securing them and thousands of peo-
pie make a living by manufacturing
the millinery trimmings made of them.

Mississippi Politics

Senator Leroy Percy's term extends to March 3. 1913, but next year a new legis- Iature is to be elected which will choose his successor This simply means that he and ex-Governor vardaman will canvass the state from end to end, county by county, if not beat by beat next year.
 Senator Percy is an excellent debater, and ,he is almost sure to prove himself a Ane stumper, and Mississippi promises to be in the spotlight a good part of next year. for the primary day will no doubt he named early in the year, and the con- test will be begun as soon as 1t is named.
 Mississippi selects senators by direct consolidated vote, and it will be remem- hered that MT. vardaman came very near Aefeating John Sharp Williams with all his congressional prestige two years ago MT. Percy certainly has lively race be- fore him, but he will be ready for it. He ~av make some speeches in the Senate eafher at this session or in the short ses- .,on of next winter that will aid him ir hss contest with the stumper who thinks prississippi is unrepresented until he is .eated in the Senate. MT. Percy is grill ,nant hut conservative. He stands for the conservative element in Mississippi. while novernor yardaman is the exponent oi spdicalism. The wave Of radicalism is re- osding, and Percy will doubtless be hi ewn successor.

BETWEEN THE ACTS

From the New York Sun.
 Every chance I get" said the opera 1. goer, "I sneak up behind some one who Is reading between the acts and try to find out what he is reading. Up in the top gallery lot of friendless folk read between acts. They come alone and have nobody to talk to, and as they don't care to study the crowd they fall back on a book or newspaper. News papers predominate, but books hold their own pretty well. Librettos don count. Nobody in the top gallery needs a libretto. Novels are popular. Every time Lucia Is sung more than one person sneaks The Bride of Lam mermoor' out of the book case and takes Ii to the opera. 'Orfeo brings out numerous works on mythology. One night I peeped over the shouldec of . young man who was studying ;ll- zebra. But for pure catholicity of taste commend me to the woman who reads MT. Dooly' between acts of
 Parsifal' I had always fiattered my self that I possessed wide sympathies in music and literature. but after that exhibition of liberality I slunk back into a seat reserved for ultra conserva- tiyes"

Mr. Fairbanks Home-Coming

Former Vice President Fairbanks is coming home this month, and yet there are no indications that anyone will meet him at the pier when he steps ashore. The army of people that are seeking to prolong life by drinking buttermilk, or, at any rate, sour milk, in accordance with the theory of a Russian scientist, sh hould certainly organize enough to hand the returning world wide wan derer pitcher of his favorite beverage, American brewed.
 It must be said of MT. Fairbanks that he has done nothing spectacular in Af- rica, or elsewhere. He has prosecuted the business of sightseeing very much as other Americans do, and but for a little incident at Rome he would have done nothing to attract criticism, or even notice. His game-bag is empty, | immediate presence. For these things, negative though they be. he is entitled to a small reception on landing, to say the least. Yet he will get none, sim ply because all the reception elements in New York are engaged in deyising a corker for T. R., who Is coming home in the early summer.
 But why should not the Roosevelt boomers take a day off to give MT. Rooseyelt's vice president baby re- ception? They might do this as mat ter of rehearsal for the greater recep-
 ton soon to come. As things stand
 something should be done, else the dis parity between the Fairbanks reception and the Roosevelt reception will be so great as to suggest that the latter had
 something up it's sleeve.

The Good Roads Meeting

"There is much interest being taken in tho state good roads meeting in Mont gomery." said a citizen.
 "I understand that there is to be an unusually full attendance from over the state. l am interested in creating senti- ment to elect members of the legislature who will give expression to the will of the people in the necessary legislation as to the amendment adopted to the con- stitution.
 ''The meeting should map out a plan for a system of state highways. These roads should be built somewhat better than the others for two reasons: They will demonstrate the economy of first class. well-built roads, and they will bring a class of sightseeing investors that even 1he railroads will not draw or if they do the tourists do not get a fair idea of our state from swift speeding railway trains. First-class state highways will cost about s4O00 per mile. In some sec tions and where grades have to be re- dueed this will probably run to $700O per mile, but the average through the length of the state will be about S4OOO per mile.
 Tt is time to take up the matter of taxing vehicles not only to help pay for the roads, but to protect them. The small tires on draught vehicles must be taxed out of use. Broad tires help road by packing the surface

man. an animate cell in the merged mass. 4
 In London, costers or eockneys, ilower1 girls. policemen, bus drivers and cabbiesl succeed one another in station and oc;S cupation with never a notion of doids, otherwise. That vital spark, wholesome discontent, which actuates much of American aspiration, does not, general | ly speaking, keep Johnny Bull awake o'nights in his dingy lodging. Cakes and ale, field sports, horse racing, pick ing the winner and drawing a loser. casuals with the girls and such worries may cheat him occasionally of his sleep, but ambition to govern the kingdom, to climb out of his class, to be somebody his sturdy British instinct tells him he isn't-that canker never lodges in his "'eart'
 | So despite a great and growing Aux of foreigners into London we find the types of the lower and middle British class practically pure, and as dominant today as they were 75 years ago during the latter days of the pre-Victorian era. | In the upper classes this is equally marked; that as to forms and customs, l manner of speech, mental attitude, per sonal and social traits, the Londoner has remained British against all accidents of social or business relationship with foreigners, intermarriage and modern in- ternational influences.
 | On the other hand, the subsistence of the so-called American is being accom- Irlt o3,,f. tra as death. In the year 1900 Exhibit Smith was an American-that is, a de- scendant on both sides from sires and danes bred of Colonial stock. Today his reat-great-grandsons and great great-granddaughters are of the great admixture of the United States, with the blood of syndicate of sires and danes embracing nine nationalities and pro- ducing in Exhibit Smith -Katsowsky- swinnigan-Knutz, jr., just born, so many national traits, so many conflict ing hereditary instincts, emotions and physical, moral and mental characteris- tics as to make him what? An interna- tional sausage, cosmopoite, an Ameri- can! In 50 years his progeny may be anything still unheard of in our political economy. It is big question, one that engenders curiosity of the future and the experiment of our great republic; but it is idle to argue 1t here. The point is that the so-called American is rapidly becoming a misnomer, an ethnologic fiction, whose ancestral origins have crept from a dozen parts of the world. Hence it is that in 40 years by the clock you will find your genuine A.neri- can only in the marble statues standing in our museums, mutely wondering at the change wrought by our disjointed times.

LASTING TYPES OF LONDON
Henry Wellington Mack. in Harper
 MeeklX

Henry Wellington Mack. in Harper's l Weekly
 1HHE burly city of London is an
 epitome of the world. It is the un-
 rivaled scene of violent contrasts The student of sociology has no need to travel beyond it's borders, for within them may be found specimens of every variety of human life. Here the white black. red and yellow races congregate but cause no ripple in the stolid life of British types within the capital.
 All the world is dumping much of its worst. little of its best, in character and physique upon the highways and by ways of the city of New York. Europe begets her millions, New York takes them home, thanks to that theory oi national asylum which maintains an inn migration law destined to annihilate all trace of the American within a few decades.
 The result of Europe's restricted in- vasion of London is vastly different from what the worlds dump of it's castoffs is upon New York, and in that difference resides bright influence for the one and a cloud of menace for the other.
 The London type is positive entity; the so-called lower class American in New York city is an attenuated nega- tive, plastic. colorless nobody merged in heterogeneous mass of similar mo- bodies. The influx of a foreign element upon London accentuates the character istics of the typical Britisher. from the lowest gaping mob of him to the most toadied classes above. You never mis- take your serving Londoner for anyone else. He may have the distinction of awkwardness, of obtuseness, of exasper- ating stolidity-according as you have the power correctly to perceive him but his aspect is always purely British; never a doubt about that. Come upon him with his beer and wrinkles, in the region of his kind, and you have a fel- low who initiates no one, merges with no foreign mass, loses none of those seasoned quips of speech and manner, characteristics of dress and custom, which, assembled under cap in Bow or Hackney. proclaim the costermonger near his jack and cart.
 On the Bowery, in the presence of beer and doggies, you find nothing to dis tinguish your slum habitue from that nondescript who, breedin bountifully in our large cities. only recently aHen- ated from European or Asian percentage. and having enjoyed the privilege and profit of one or two political campaigns, affirms his Americanism with a quid of tobacco in one cheek and a bouquet of oaths in the other There are hundreds of thousands so nearly like him that he Is regarded more as a number than a

TURKISH WOMEN AT HOME

own bath house; if not, they go to the public hannah and stay all day long. They are scrubbed and perfumed, their finger nails dyed red and their eyebrows pen ciled. On Friday, at the wedding itself, no unmarried Turkish women are pres- ent. but I. being a foreigner, was some times admitted. I have spent the last night of their girlhood with many of my friends, and with two exceptions they were all delriousy happy They went to their husbands with all the hopes and ideals which exist in the heart of any American woman, and trusted that these unknown men would realize their ideals. And in spite of what is said of Turkish men by people who do not understand them they are chivalrous and kind to women.
 Turkish women talk very freely of their lives, and from what my married Turk ish friends have told me, they come as near having their ideals fulfilled as do women of other nations. Of course, there is always something pathetic about a marriage. whether a woman chooses her husband or her family chooses him for
 
 tion; she makes her life in her own mind; and 1t is not often that real life corre- spends to the one of her imagination.
 On Friday morning the house of the bride Is full of music which has been previously arranged for by the bride groom. The bride is attired in her most gorgeous garments and receives the con- gratulations of the married ladies. The bridegroom then arrives, preceded by more music, in company with his friends and quite often by the urchins of the street as well. At the house he asks three times for his bride. Although there is really no marriage ceremoney an imam is usually present, who asks the girl if she is willing to go. The groom again declares, before all those assembled, tho settlement he will make on his wife, how he will maintain her, and the cere- mony is over. The bride is taken to her new home preceded by music and by all her earthly goods. At the door of her new home her friends leave her, and she Is left with the slaves her husband has bought her and the eunuchs. In the brid- al chamber she awaits the arrival of tne IndH WHO lIoiI hoW oi iS eo oc SV much in her life

York, will be completed before the end of the coming summer.
 The cost of the improvements at or near New York was estimated in 1902 at s107, ,o0O, 900. and the company reports the expenditures to date at s102,495,53 The cost of the new eastern terminals bids fair, therefore, to be kept within the original estimate.
 The New York and other improve ments have been financed without in- creasing the bonded debt of the com- pany. New stock has been freely is- sued. but no one doubts the mainte- nance of per cent dividends on all the stock that has been issued. The com pany is really earning nearly Il per cent on its stock. and about 40 per cent of the improvements, costly as they aEere, was met from current earnings. The financing of such gigantic mainline improvement plants, costing nearly SS0o.- OGO, ,0o0 to date, is one of the marvels of the times. And so are the improves ments.
