Vanished Birds.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1t is probable that no great proportion
Of the present jewellers i'll Chicago have
ever tasted prairie chicken. Yet prairie
chicken. within the memory of the middle
aged, was once a common feature at the
table of local households, and no great
outlay was necessary to secure it. Its
pleasant. gamy flavor still fingers on
many palates. and the tiresome question,
Light or dark" never arose to cause
perplexity or delay, for the bird was
dark throughout.
Gone. too, are the quail the wild duck,
even the grouse which was plentiful on
the prairies of northern Illinois, and the
wild pigeon which used to sweep in clouds
over the valley of the Fox, not forty miles
from our city limits And the nearest
haunt of the prairie chicken is in farthest
Dakota. If any examples Of that pic
turesque. savory and once familiar fowl
are TO be met with along South Water
street. they figure only as rarities and
luxuries. Two dollars would not carry the
purchaser far toward dozen.
Though advances in transportation and
refrigeration have brought to our market
edibles from the ends of the earth and
made it a much more varied and compre-
hensive place. there is a loss, not to be
made altogether good, in the vanishing
of the fauna proper to our own locality.
When the prairie chicken passed out II
did not go alone, it took an epoch with it.
Exotic kickshaws and fallals may be
good, but to some of us the familiar
home produce was better.
