AIgrettes From india,

Aigrette plumes are now obtained
in India In much the same manner In
which We get u ostrich plumes.
When captured. the birds become very
tame. They are fed upon fish. The
birds grow fupldly, and each year pro-
duce four sets of the delicate, highly
priced aigrettes. The aigrette is re-
moved without the least injury to the
bird. India seems to be the only
country In which aigrettes can be OBJ
tanned without killing the mother bird
for her plumes.

To Clean Paint

The easiest and quickest way Of
cleaning paint Is to have two pals Of
water, n cold, to which a tablespoon
full of ammonia has been added, and
n hot, with the addition Of a little
ammonia and soap powder. With a
soft flannel wash the paint with the
soapy water, then rinse with the cold
water, using a wash leather instead OF
the flannel. and wiring the leather fair
ly dry. Paint washed like this dries
with a nice polish, which no amount
Of drying with cloths and using hot
water alone will impart.

Skating Is Old Pastlme.

Skating, the origin Of which is lost
In antiquity, WINS mentioned by a Dan

there was skating v before the
twelfth century, the custom having
been introduced there from Holland.
The Eskimos used bone skates when
they were first disct erred by the
whites, and probably had done SO for
centuries.

History Of the Dah!ia.

BY curious horticultural irony the
dahlla, which has become the popular
idol Of our early autumn flower shows,
possesses n sadly prosaic history, the
London Chronicle remarks. 1t has
been developed from the Mexican tn.
hers Introduced about one hundred and
thirt: years ago by the Swedish bot
mist, Doctor Dahl, for the purely
commercial purpose Of supplanting or
supplementing the potato. They did
not catch on and the dnhlia dish
soon disappeared from British dinner
tables, but our gart hers ut once saw
the latent possibilities Of the flower,
from which they have evolved the
double dahlia and other delightful
floral fantasies. Thus the dahlla has
exactly reversed the fate Of the red
clover, which came to us In the guise
Of garden flower but was found to
make fine forage. The tubers Of the
dahlia, too acrid for our taste, are
still eaten in some parts of France.
