MURDEROUS HER MILLINERY
CORY PRODUCTS OF APPAREL
WORN BY HUMAN MOTHER.
Myriads of Birds and Beasts Are
Shot Down to Make WOmen'S
Hats HideOus.


The attitude of many kind-heart-
ed souls whose personal attire orig
mated in blood reminds one of the
rich miser who, when a starving man
was pleading to him for food, said
to his servant: Throw this man out;
! he is breaking my heart" They raise
! their hands in holy horror when told
of the starving little birds and ami
mails that, while waiting for their
end. send out shrill cries for their
dead mothers, killed that their fur
or pIumage may grace the wardrobe
of some tender-hearted society wo-
man.
The principal birds slaughtered in
myriads to make women's hats hid
eous are ospreys, birds of paradise,
humming birds, pigeons, pheasants,
jays, kingf1shers, owls and parrots.
To particularize only one, the air.
grette, or egret (from which bird
comes what are commonly misnamed
osprey feathers), is kind of heron.
The easiest and the ordinary way of
obtaining egret plumes is to go to
the nests when they are full of young
birds unable to fly. At such a time
the egret murderers have no diff
Guilty, for attack from defenseless
birds is impossible, and a flight by
parents from their helpless fiedg-
lings is unthinkahle. They are shot
down while they brood over the
young they refuse to desert. Who
cares that millions of chicks are left
to die of starvation? Who heeds
the woodland dripping with blood?
Who thinks of the determination of
herons in Florida and elsewhere?
Who troubles about the brutal mega
ton of bird parenthood, when the
result adorns the SIS hat of the hu-
man wife and mother?
Bear skins, when obtained by log
and steel traps are revolving enough,
with their horrid details of bears
tearing away from the traps and
leaving a paw or leg behind, crawl
ing away to die of the slow poison
of the decoy meat planted beside the
trap. The skunk is caught by human
skunks in cowardly fashion. The
tiny ten-inch ermine skin will be in
evidence at King Georges corona
ton. Four hundred animals is
common requirement for simple
aristocratic robe Other furs include
beaver, badger, lynx, muskrat, fox
and otter. Drowning by the weight
of the chain-trap is common enough
with water animals. In the case of
the fox amusement has to be COM
bined with murder; dogs get their
fun" out of the chase.
Astrachan is cory product, but
the rarer skins. such as the Persian
lamb, are intentionally vile in
their origin. Caracul i a product of
embryonic skins, and as such could
hardly be worn without a shudder
by the most commonplace human
mother.

WALL STREETS HUMAN SIDE
MANY TYPES CONTRIBUTE TO ITS
COMPOSITE CHARACTER.
Men on Highest Pinnacle of Finance
Touch Elbows With the Get-RCh-
Quick Highwaymen.


Wall street. the great financial
center of New York, has an intensely
human side, and has perhaps the
most composite character of any
thoroughfare in the metropolis. TIC
this character many types contribute
writes a correspondent.
Many who occupy the highest pin
nacIe of high finance daily brush
elbows with get-rich-quick highway
men; with men who have tips" to
sell; with women who have made
places for themselves in the business
world, and silly little feminine carl
catures better suited to Broadway
and Forty-second street than to the
domain of serious business; with
bank messengers chained about the
waist to a leather wallet; with curb
merchants dealing in rubber bands
or sweet chocolate; with Office boys
and "newsies" of sharp tongue and
ready wit-with all the motley tide
that flows down the grade from
'~Rs6adway each morning and GIBBS
beack again at night toward Trinity
church to the music of the chorus
Evening pa-pies! Here y'are--
getcher last e-edishin Sportin' ex-
tree!"
Each Of these types having dropp-
ed into the cauldron the ingredient
of his or her own particular person
atty the result is a curiously flavor
ed and most individual sort of
stew. 1t isn't common, because
there is the dignity contributed by
the greatest captains of finance in
the world 1t isn't ponderous, be-
cause of the lighter elements-the
sandwich men, the whistling Office
boys, the pretty stenographers and
the befeathered, hobble-skirted sill
lies, the sweet chocolate fakirs-only
an occasional fakir, Of course; too
many would make it take on the
character of Ann street.
Boil all this down and the residu-
am is a blend of seriousness and
genial good nature. The pompOus
banker, swinging around into Broad
street each morning in his limou-
sine, may be pompous in his private
office, and won't see you when you
call to sell him life insurance, but
he never fails to salute with a smile
and joke the big policeman on the
corner. This same big policeman
will hold up motor truck upon Oc-
casion with no uncertain language,
but will smile behind his hand as
a horseless vehicle made of soap
box on wheels, propelled by boy
power and momentum, romps down
the grade and round into Wall street
Nothing really surprises Wall
street, and yet a crowd will gather
more quickly there than in any other
spot in town upon the smallest pre-
text. 1t may be a man gliding the
ball on a lagpole 500 feet up in the
air, or it may be a fakir selling
bum diamonds. Everybody is hur-
rying, yet everybody has time to stop
when anything particularly Wall
streetian strikes them.

Robert Macquoid, who at the age of
ninety-one is still painting, is remark
able, but not unparalleled. T. s. Coop

envy for several years after passing
his ninetieth birthday; John Massey
Wright, a water color artist, born in
1873, was fully occupied and in active
work up to the time of his death at
the age Of ninety-three. Most notable,
however, was Titan, who, born in
1477, lived just one year short of a
century, and continued t o paint pic

Meant Ia Re Real sad

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as is In
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
one would overhear them each pro-
duced a slip of paper containing the
swear words and fred away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia.
"Cigars!" was Claire's reply.
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
here was no earthquake to swallow
them up. and the two resumed their
play, a trifle disappointed at the tame
termination of their badness.-Cleve-

COSTS LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE WHEAT IN
CANADA.
FREQUENT QUESTION AN
SWERED.

Western Canada probably suffered
Hss from weather conditions during
the year OF 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding
was most successful and the growing
conditions up to July were never bet
ter. Crops OF all kinds showed won
derful growth at that time and were
universally good, but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and 80 bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to Is and 80 BUSH
els, while some OF course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of these conditions, 1t is found
that during the months of September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total Of 1871 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat he
ing 97A cents; that belor contract
for the two months was a little over
10 million bushels. which at an aver
age price of ssh cents per busnel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
of IS million bushels. which realized
a total Of a little over t~hirty-one mil
lion dollars.
On the first of November, there
was In the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 100 million
bushels Of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had Of the value
OF the wheat crop of 1911.
A careful canvass made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of a number
Of men farming in a large way indi-
Gates that ever with the extreme ex-
pense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 81 cts. a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 68 cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low-grade wheat Of
liz cts. and for his high-grade wheat
Of 1914 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect. it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.
