There ia a theory
Chat the cold wave is gradually ap-
nronebine and that in the course of
agea the semi-tropic dimes of this
eonntry will be as Iris-id as that of
the Arctic legions, and following the torrid zones will be the centers of immense icebergs and all vegeta
tion will disappear from tbe iaee of tbe earth. sesoltinK in the death of
all living beings. It ia reasoned that these ehaages have occurred in
the pant and in torn have been fol
lowed by cycles of excessive torridity. The ooralieeis as fiur North aa
the eoasts of Labrador unangns wheieiu the torrid
tended for into the
known as taw abode of perpetnal
ice and snow; the debris left by tbe
slow moving glaciers, on tbe other hand, which is found in a latitude now a stranger to frosts, supports
the theory of tbe universal frigidity. The unprecedented snow-foils in
soothers States, with the frosts that
have penetrated as far sooth as the
very soareeof tbe warm Golf stream
during the past roonthnd that too
without a parallel in the history of.
the eonntry, go far to support these aeieatine theories. It would

I Tbe custom of trimming ladies'
head sear witb-the plumage of birds
has increased to such an extent of
late that many of tbe leading orni
thologists- and naturalists of this
and other countries have been con
strained, by reason of tbe impend-
ins extermination of several of the
finest species of ffae birds of North
which ia brilliancy and
variety of plumage are second only
to those of tbe tropics, to take tbe
matter under very serious eonsider-
a. The most superficial of ob-
ers cannot bat be convinced
that die complete extermination of
tbe finest of tbe feathered tribes, it
hot a ooestioo of a very short time,
when noting the vast arrays of the resplendent!? bned skins of native
birds, exhibited in the windows of
die millinery stores. Naturalists'
societies on both sides of tbe Atlantic are beginning to regard tbe
question as one of serious moment.
All true lovers of nature, wbom we
are very prone to treat with ingrat
itode in return for tbe countless blrarings she has bestowed upon us,
without doubt warn tnat something
could be done to stop this ruthless
war which is being waged upon the
feathered inhabitants of oar woods
and groves, in obedience to the tyranaicial dictates of Dame fashion, and at whose feet both peer and peasant kneel alike, and whose mandates
have ere now agitated the minds of
rulers ot men.
When a reporter of the Progress
called upon an amateur taxidermist
of this aty, be found that gentle-
i busy preparing a number of
skins of the prettiest native birds
for shipment to some European
mart of huh ion.
"Yes" said the taxidermist, "a
large quantity of birds' skins are shipped from Indiana annually. The plumage of birds for trimming ladies' hats, etc., has grown in such favor daring the last few years, among milliners and their fair customers, that it has created quite an
industry in this eonntry. Most leading taxidermists employ large
numbers of men in the different States and Territories, who during certain seasons of the year, are engaged daily in shooting the birds of gay plumage to meet the demands
of tbe wholesale dealers in millinery
supplies, by whom the taxidermists
are commissioned.
"What birds an the moat sought after V '
"Oh, they all have their turn. Everything depends upon the ever
changing styles. Tbe fluctuations of
fashions are like a perpetual see-saw; now on, now down, in obedience to
tbe dictates of its leaden. For in
stance, among the white birds the dove was a short time ago in demand. I have shipped them to the
Chicago market in quantities of
three huodred kinds at once. Just now tbe call for them is very slight." "Ostrich feathers? The trade in them is not at all what it was some years ago, when they fetched very nigh prices. They have been largely superceded by tbe plumes of the snowy heron, a bird found very rarely In the Northern States, but in vast quantities in Florida. Depending from the wings are long spiral feathers about ten or twelve inches loag,tbey quiver like an aspen leaf and present a beautiful appearance. They are as fine as any ostrich plume and are as valuable; tbe demand has been very steady for some time, and if it remains so, this beantifol bird is as likely to be exterminated as the Baltimore oriole is, another bird of die most masnifieient plumage. Yes sir. I
predict that at tbe present rate of
extermination, the oriole will soon
exist only in history. Why ten
years ago this bird could be found ? i i ,
Bugs iiumuero arvuuu nere, now it is a ran avis."
"Hew is that done T" asked tbe reporterWell, along the breast bone of a bird is a bare line where the quills run in different directions. Tbe hunter who invariably has a knowledge of our art draws a sharp knife along this line from head to tail, ana then carefully works the skin loose with his hands. The carcass is then cut away, and the eyes, brains, etc., cleaned out of the skull. For protection against insects, the skins are then prepared with a soap or solution of arsenic. Should this be neglected the feathers begin to fall out after a few months and the skin swarms with parasite, rendering it absolutely worthless. Con Id the ladies see inside of some bird skin trimmings they wear on their head-gear, which have been imperfectly treated, I'll wager the sight would be enough to deter them from 'wearing another feather as long as they lived." "Yes, the skins are usually shipped whole to the wholesale dealers, who employ hundreds of females to prepare and arrange them as required by the milliners." "Do too get good prices for them,?" ni nest asked. "Ob yes, we get from one dollar op to twenty dollars for skins." Bow about laws regulating the booting of birds 7" "Well, in this state, taxidermists are exempt from any liability to game laws; this unwritten license is granted, I presume on the grounds that a taxidermist is supposed to be
a man well versed in the habits of
birds, and considerate enough to extend protection to the feathered tribes during their breeding seasons; something which is sadly needed, I regret to say, as many persons will
sacrifice anything in the pursuit of
what they call sport." The final question of the reporter drew from the ornithologist an answer to the effect that he certain
ly regarded the wholesale slaughter of the native birds, which is going on, as certain to result in making tbe finest of them as rare as tbe buffalo of this continent.
Pensilon Paying in Indiana.
A Much Bigger Thing Than It Seens.
THE BEST WAY TO DISe TRIBUTE THE NATIONAL FUNDS.
FIVE AND A HALE MILLIONS PAID TO INDIANA PENSIONERS EACH YEAR.
Another reformer has been ap?nnted to the Postoffice at Bath, a., in the person of Mr. Sigfried, who can neither read nor write. It is thought he was chosen because he would not waste time trying to read all tbe postal cards. The recent freeze at the south was not an unmixed evil. The frost penetrated tbe earth to the depth of a foot, and soil that had been impacted for several years was loosened and made readv for unusual productiveness, while numerous pests of the worm and bug order were probably destroyed by the cold. Last week a stock dealer visited Cincinnati with stock. He arrived in the city in the evening and
entering the first hack he noticed at tbe depot, ordered it to drive to tbe Palace ' Hotel. After proceeding
some distance be heard a noise as if something were being forced
through a tube. Immediately he
lost consciousness. Early tbe next
morning he was found by the police in Mill creek bottom, in an insensi
ble condition, and on being restored
to consciousness stated the tacts as
above. Tbe police say that they
have no doubt ot tbe truth of his story. He lost $1,200. Chamberlain is tbe stock dealer's name. A sleep producing gas was forced
through a tube connecting with tbe
drivers seat into the hack.
"Are there masy humming bode killed?" "Oh yes, many hundreds of these beautiful little creatures are massacred annually in this State alone. The ruby throated humming bird, which is eagerly sought after, is found around here during the fall in large flocks. Its back is golden green, wings purple and its tiny
throat and breast seems to glow
with rosy light.
"Are they killed with the mum kind of
can m other bird?
"Oh no, why a charge of ordinary
bird shot would blow euch tiny
creatures to atoms. A little Flobert rifle is used, the sbcfrom which is Kke so much dust, and leaves an
imperceptible wound."
"How are the bird prepared for the
milliner' use?" tbe reporter next inquir ed.
"Well, great care is necessary from the time they are killed until delivered to the wbolesole dealers.
Immediately after tbe bird is shot, its nostrils are stuffed with cotton and the bills covered with the same, so as to prevent the blood from flowing: onto the plumage. Tbey are
then wrapped in linen, until the
operation of skinning can be per-
jrml.
The latest swindle is now worked on tbe farmer with a straw stack for sale. A man calls, buys
the straw for a large paper mill, gives his note, or a little cash in payment and takes tbe farmer's re
ceipt, and this receipt tnrns up at
tbe bank in a few davs as a note
against tbe farmer for any amount
the swindler may choose to name.

The German navy has long been supplied exclusively with Puget
Sound spars, which are well known
m JUirope. Considerable excitement prevailed near a small Kansas town recently over tbe capture of a ghost. An investigationTevealed the fact that the ghost was nothing but a half-starved country editor in a creek washing his shirt by moonlight. He was lucky to own a shirt. If you want to laugh right out loud procure a file of Democratic papers, printed in the summer and fall of 1884, and read those editorials on "Reform," "Economy," "Turn tbe Rascals Out,"" Jeffersonian Simplicity," etc.

In Indiana 27,000 people have cause to be grateful, at least once every quarter, to the Government, not only for peace, protection and existing condition that admit of business, prosperity and domestic happiness, but for direct and substantial support, which comes to them in the shape of pensions. There ia an old saying that Republics are ungrateful, but the Government of the United Sate can not be included in this (weeping assertion, when the fact is taken into consideration that each year it pays out to those who served in tbe war and their dependent heirs and relative over $60,000,000 in pensions, and that, too, for a service, in the successful 'Outcome of which they, with all other loyal citisens, were vitally interested. This money furnishes the principal support to hundreds of thousands of people, who, far the most part, otherwise would be unable to keep up the daily struggle for bread. The support has continued since the war, and will continue until the recipient have no use for it. It should be, and probably is, the reason for a strong allegiance to the Government even if there is no higher actuating influence than this. The current quarterly payment of pensions at the Indianapolis agency, which cover the whole state, is now about concluded, with an expenditure that is about $1,000,000. There are now over twentyseven thousand pensioners on the list, which is an increase of eleven thousand in six yean. Tbe annual report for the year ending June- 30, 1885, showt. that
during that year there were 3,si7 original
case mat is, pensioners never oeiore en the list and 3,753 casts in which the regular pensions were increased, and 247 case restored after having been dropped
ror various causes. Those lost by aeatn or removal to other district numbered 1,013. During the year 5, 440,934.70 was paid to pensioners in Indiana. Under the existing law tbe increase in the number of pensioners every year average between 3,000 and 4,000, and, with this (act in view, one would naturally think that
the supply of disabled soldiers would soon
oe exhausted, but there seems to no utile probability of this. Bvery man ia entitled to a ptnsion who was wounded at all, while in honorable service, or who contracted any disease as a result of that service. Nearly all the new eases are for what are called "obscure disabilities," that is for disftue or ailments or afflictions wWch have developed since tbe war. Comparatively few cases of gun--hot wound a now alleged a reasons for pensions, and the greater part of them are for rheumatism, affections of eyes, ear or heart, and chronic diseases of various kinds. Formerly applications for pensions were iient in to the department in legal form and there passed upon from
the evidence of the muster rolls, and thai
furnished by affidavit. More recently, however, a special examiner of the department is sent out te investigate every case in all its bearings, and whether or not the
application is granted, depends largely up
on ai report. ucn strict regulations are
now in force that it is very seldom that a
fraudulent olaim gets through, nnd even then those who participate in the fraud are very lifcelv to be severely punished.
For a number of years after the war deserving pensioner were swindled by claim aj;ents, but later enactments of Congress ir.ake that business very precuneus also. Agents are now allowed $25, and no more for each claim they get allowed, and if they charge a higher fee,
tbey are almost sure te be detectland punished. Even at this rate the promi
nent agencies derive a very large income. The physical examination te which a would-be pensioner is subjected is very
searching and thorough, and very seUlom arrives at incorrect results.

Mr. Bain, of Martinsville, is
traveling in New Mexico, and in a letter to the Republican says : "We paused through a Mexican town or
"Placita" (pronounced Plasseeta) where there was some efforts made at cultivation. They raised some
small corn, also looked from the
stubble as though they had raised some good wheat. They are great
for raising red pepper, and use a
gnat deal of it, almost everything
they eat is. highly seasoned witb
pepper. They also raise Sne turnips and cabbage, but I think ex
cel on onions : l saw onions mat
measured five inches in diameter.
The stock tbey have are a few ponies,
lot of burros, some cattle and any
quantity of goats. Tbe goat is the
Mexican s ebiet reliance, lbey use the milk for food ; rnaku fine cheese out of it ; eat the flesh nnd sell the hides. It would probably be of interest to your rural friends for me to describe the mode of milking these gouts. They do not milk iu front like the average citizen milks his Jersey -cow. The Mexican maiden will come up belli aj her goat, after they are corraled, seise hold of each teat (a goat only has two) and by a quick and dextrous
jerk raises the goat's hind feet one
or two toet from tbe ground. 1 be milker then braces the goat in that position by pressing the top of her head against the well, ugaiust the hind pasrt of the goat ; she then holds the milk pail between her knees and with both hands strips the goat dry. They give it a push and the goat goes off with a ba-ah and the milker proceeds to another.
Rev. Jenckes delivered the monthly temperance address Sabbath night last, in the M. E. church to a crowded house. He spoke on four P's The Prevalence, Power, Peril, Prevention of Intemperance. While his thoughts on Prevention did not accord with the opinions of the more radical temperance men, it was very acceptable to the mass of our people to hear him say what he did. He advocated the moral-suasion, compromise, don't-hurry, non-intervention (policy toward the liquor traffic, but he spoke sincerely, and no temperance
man should object to heating all
sides of a subject. What good tem
perance men want is to get at tbe
irulh, and no one should object to
letting the discussion go ou. It
will go on, without doubt till tem
perance people are united. It is hardly necessary to say that they
will not unite on Mr. Jenckes plan of prevention, whatever it waa. But the good people of Bloomington are obliged to Mr. Jenckes for bis address, and would be pleased to hear him again, and probably
most of them agree with him. Hon.
Will. Comback will speak in
Bloumington soon, on the temperance question, and Hon. E. W.
Halford has been invited to do so, and we may hear from others.
