THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOL
WOMEN'S CLUBS.

An article in recent issue of the
Popular Science Monthly, relative
to the great decrease in wild ami
mails and birds in this country,
shows that the slaughter of birds,
except few game birds, has been
due to the fact that there is and al
ways has been a good market for
the feathers. If the women's clubs
of the country wished to do some
thing exceptionally meritorious,
they would start a crusade against
the use of feathers on their hats for
if the women of the country would
refuse to wear feathers" it would
still prevent many of Gods wood
land songsters from becoming en-
tirely extinct. The article in part
is as follows:
1t seems strange that women,
who by nature are supposed to
possess so much gentleness and
sympathy, and who shrink from
anything that savors of cruelty,
should be content to adorn their
hats with feathers, the procuring
of which necessitates so much wan
ton cruelty and murder. But
Dame Fashion has decreed that
feathers shall be worn; regardless
of how they are secured. they have
been worn, and study of the fol-
lowing figures will give some idea
of the effects thereby produced on
the colonies of herons and egrets.>
Within the last twenty years the
snowy heron has practically dis
appeared from China, where it was
once SO plentiful. Twenty years
ago there was in the region about
Charleston. S. c.. at least 3,ooo,-
900 of these birds; today less than
100 remain. There is but one
small colony of the American egret
left in this country, and that one is
on the coast of South Carolina.
This colony was fired into last
year, and again this year. so that
now less than twenty birds remain.
1t will be but a few years, unless
some drastic measures are taken,
before the history of this bird will
be the same as that of the passen-
ger pigeon"

THOUSANDS FED ON WASTE.

During the winter just closed the
English salvation army expected to
provide $4,000 meals from the waste
Of the warships in Chatham dock
yards. For when ships are in port
many of the men are away on leave,
but the food is still supplied and has
hitherto been counted as waste. On
one night alone 600 people were fed
on what would have otherwise been
thrown away.

There was thirty-five aviators
killed in 1910, and the fatalities so
far this year number fifty nine. We
haven't the exact figures at hand
but are of the opinion that the
automobile is still far ahead in
number of tragic deaths to its
credit, with foot ball, which at one
time held the record, very poor
third.

The following item has been GO

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS

When It is recalled that tuber-

the deaths that occur between
the ages of twenty and fifty
years 1t becomes mt once appar-
ent what an enormous influence
the suppression Of this one dis
ease must exercise upon the de-
velopment and progress of socie-

losis is among the chief ends to
be accomplished by all the agen-
Giles which are striving to uplift

A TRUE STORY OF A DOG WITH A
WOODEN LEG. .rs

When my uncle Joe was little boy,
he had friend named Harry. Harry
had little dog named Fox. Fox was
a great pet of Harry's. One day he
followed Harry to the field where his
papa was moving hay. He got in front
Of the mower and Mr.. Homes the lit
tie boys papa, did not see him and ac-
cidently cut off one of the dogs legs.
Harry loved his little dog and felt
very sorry for him. He could not bear
to see him hobbling around on three
legs. He tried to think what he could
do to help him. One day as he sat
thinking what to do for his dog a
bright idea struck him. He had seen
men walk on wooden legs and he
thought Fox could. No sooner had he
thought of this than he began planning
how he would make it. Then he got
stick and whitfield it ina shape of a
dogs foot then he got piece of tin
and wrapped it around the top of the
stick and tackled it fast to the stick SO
it would not come off. Then he shaped
the top of the tin to fit the leg where
it had been cut off, then he made some
holes in the top of the tin through
which he put some strings and fastened
it to strap around the dogs body. :.
The new leg worked like charm
The next time my uncle Joe went over
to play with Harry he showed him his
new invention and he was very much
pleased too The boys thought it would
be fun to take Fox and go rabbit hunt

ELIZABETH ON THE TURKEY.

A turkey is large bird related to
the pheasants and originally inhabit'
ing the new world.
There are three species known, the
North American birds, the Mexican
and that of Central America.
The common wild turkey of North
America ranges from southern Can
ada to Florida and Mexico. 1t is
about four feet long and tuft hangs
from the neck of the male.
The Mexican turkey is slightly
different. It was domiciled by the
Indians before the discovery of that
country and is the original from which
the domesticated bird descended.
1t was introduced into Europe in the
sixteenth century. a

THE INDIANS, :.

The Indians have copper colored
skin, coarse. jet black hair; high cheek
bones, thick lips small eyes and no
whiskers. They have different Language
than ours. Their only domestic animal
was the dog. They live in wigwams.
Their, wigwam was usually made BY
thursting thin poles into the ground in
a circle and bending the top together
and tying them. Over the poles they
placed skins of animals. They had
clay bowls and wooden dishes. They
would roast corn. squashes or sweet
potatoes. The Indian corn when dried
and pounded into meal mixed with wa
ter and baked in the ashes. The men
and women would not wear very much
clothing. The children wore moccasins
and the women wore deerskin aprons
and beaver NANTES. The Indian men
would fish and hunt and fight and
make arrows, bows, canoes and stone
tools. They wore feathers in their halr.
The Indian women planted the corn
brought the water dressed the skin,
made the clothing. They take care Of
the children or papooses. The squaws
carry the papposes on their back. The
