Ostrich Feathers.

From countries other than South At
RIGA come reports that the opinion is
widespread that the production of os-
trich feathers entails a considerable
amount of cruelty to the birds. At
tempts were even made to get ostrich
feathers included in the bill for tho
prohibition of the Importation of the
plumage of wild birds into the United
States. ! desire to most emphatically
state there is no cruelty attached to
the production of ostrich feathers. The
birds are driven into small enclos
ure and are caught one at time. A
sort of stocking is dropped over the
ostrich's head when the creature at
once becomes docile.
The plumes both of the tail and
wings are shipped off with special
clippers, the stumps of the quilts be-
ing left in the sockets. These after a
time shrivel naturally and so all sensi-
bility is lost. some drop out and the
rest are removed without the rupture
of single blood vessel. The whole
process is absolutely painless-as
much as cutting ones finger nails In
the usual manner
No farmer would be stupid enough
to actually pull out the plumes for
the reason that in so doing the cells
within the socket, which build the
| substance of the feather, are more or
less seriously damaged, causing the
next and all succeeding crops of feath-
ers to be inferior. Every farmer
knows that the value Of each ostrich is
| in proportion to the excellence of the
feathers and that market prices for
these plumes are graded according to
| quality, therefore the most brutal OF
| ostrich farmers would never resort to
| plucking the feathers from the Thirds
| The ostrich feather industry provides
a living for millions of people directly
and Indirectly and my society eonsid-
ers that it is the duty of every S. p
{. "A. to do its very best To educate
public opinion on this matter.-Oul

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
Its Name Does Not Quite Fit This
Wondrous Constellation.

The Southern Cross, wonderful alike
to those living in the southern half
of the world and to the tourist there
to. IL one ofthe most conspicuous and
interesting of all the southern config-
Irations.
Situated al a distance of about thirty
degrees from the southern pole, it is
plainly visible in all regions south of
north. about as far as the tropic of
Cancer. The farther south one travels
the higher in the heavens will appear
the Cross, and naturally the more con
spicuous ii becomes.
II seems to have received its name
not like the northern considerations
from TIE ancients, but, like most of the
southern CONGREGATIONS from the Por-
tuguese nayigators, during their ex-
Ilorat;ons into the southern waters. Ii
is said that when Dante came out from
Inferno" he declared that he had seer
a mighty cross set in the southern firm
ament, and the navigators set about
to find such a figure and settled upon
this one as best fulfilling the condi-
tions. That it is difficult, at first
glance. to picture this as true cross
is not surprising, for had it been nam
ed tho kite. much closer represen-
tation could have been imagined. The
SO called false cross midway be-
tween the cross and the bright star
Campus, although composed of fainter
stars, is much more regular and SYM
metrical in shape.
Taken all in all. this constellation OF
the Southern Cross, which has oeef
the wonder OF centuries, still holds It's
place as q remarkable curiosity, even
with the advance of astronomical IN
vestigation and with the data obtain
ed from the spcctroscope and the
photograph. our efforts still find un-
limited problems yet to be solved. And
above all others, that of the Southern
Cross is yet far from complete solu'

YELLED THREATS OF
A HUNGER STRIKE.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

After her visitors mad left Mrs.
pankhurst made an inspection of Ellis
island. Particular interest was shown
in the large dining room where the
immigrants take their meals. Several
times she tenderly patted little lmml-
grant children on the head. After the
inspection she declared that the ques-
ton of caring for immigrants had
been more scientifically studied here
than in England. During the after
noon. Mrs Pankhurst granted the re-
porters an audience.
IF the immigration authorities at
Washington decide your case against
you, win you enter upon munger
strike" she was asked.
II cannot talk about that now,' re-
piled Mrs. Pankhurst. ''As yet, ! am
unwilling to make public my plans or
to say definitely what action / will
take
IF you are taken back and I'M
prisoned, will you go upon another
hunger strike"
Certainly" was the emphatic reply.
"As far as any action which the au-
thorities at Washington may take Is
concerned, / will only say that if such
action upholds the decision of the Spe-
cial Board of Inquiry, which ordered
my deportation, l will go to any ex-
treme to secure my entrance to the
United States 1t is my purpose to
remain here only, until December,
when / will sail away"
by Amy extreme do you imply a
hunger strike?" was asked.
II have said that / cannot talk OF
that now" said Mrs. Pankhurst.
That there will be no foreible feed
ing of Mrs Pankhurst on Ellis island
was made plain by Houlder Hudgins,
who has the contract for feeding the
immigrants at the station.

end said Mr.. Hudgins, when wait

Pankhurst and asks for her order. If
Mrs Pankhurst will not eat, it will
not be because she will not have the

which bars a captain who loses his ship
