Human Aigrettes

Not many years ago a professor of mathematics with a widely known name wrote a book of nonsense by title, "How to. Tell the Birds from' the Flowers." ' The book afforded the amusement which its author hoped for it But there is room for a more serious consideration of this subject. This is the season of the year when womenkind throw off the yoke of Lent and Winter and beautify their persons with millinery. The news comes from the millinery shops that the sale of aigrettes has been stopped. The aigrette is the tuft of feathers taken from the mother heron when she is raising her young. In order to obtain this plume of fashion for Milady Vanity it usually happens that not only the mother bird is killed but that the young birds also die from starvation. Of course this is an outrage upon a society that prates about civilization. So much of an outrage is this that societies like the Audubon Society have raised a hue and cry and now it is dangerous to sell ' the aigrette plumes because of the law.

So the Ardea or Herodias, egretta alba, garzetta, and candissima are safe and we are glad. It would be a crime against nature to continue the slaughter of young birds and their mothers. It is a particularly hideous crime is it not to starve young birds to death? Some of the reformers who have accomplished this work of the preservation of young birds have asked women to sign a pledge that they will not wear aigrettes ; some societies, such as the Audubon society encourage pledges that the signers shall not wear bird feathers except perhaps those of the fowls which are killed for food. That is very proper.

Why don't women wear artificial kowers," you ask.

cause so much less suffering in the world." Perhaps. But while we have been so anxious about the welfare of birds have we been so anxious about the welfare of human beings? Do you know that there are human aigrettes? Thousands of children and their mothers die every year from starvation because of the greed of the large dealers In artificial flowers. Notice the ten cent store windows some of these days and see the bargains in cheap millinery. Flowers for unbelievably cheap prices. Notice the flowers in many high priced millinery and ask to see the willow plumes that run Into the tens of dollars, notice the wires that run through the rubber tubing of the roses. These are the work of women and children. And many die of starvation at the prices that are paid. Children wee tots, not more than six and seven, work for three and four and five cents an hour'on these things. Women work at the making of theso expensive willow plumes for a pittance. Many die. Tuberculosis, want, care yes and starvation.

Indiana has done its part toward the human aigrettes those children and mothers who are sacrificed in the millinery business. Perhaps the name of Albert J. Beveridge Is not yet forgotten. . He fought for a child labor bill which would have stopped this terrl- . ble traffic in he souls and lives of women and children. Big Business killed it. . ' Just now when labor unjons are laboring under the onus of the dynamite cases it is not the most popular thing in the world to admit that there is a need for labor unions or that their cause is a just cause. . This is the work of labor unions to correct the slaughter of human fledglings. Of course these are just poor people that suffer of course the most of them are ignorant of course it is somewhat the fault of the surroundings. But when it comes down to a matter of fact which would make you feel the most comfortable, Milady, the blood of children or of young herons or must 'you have both? ; . Not that it Is the fault of the customers for they pay high enough prices, goodness knows but it is the buyer who can do the most good ask you milliner. Yes, right here in Richmond. .'

THREE ARE KILLED; V NINE BADLY HURT . (American News Service) New York, April 29. Three workmen were electrocuted on the tracks of the New York Central - today at Spuyten Duyvil and nine others were so badly burned that they are now dying in various hospitals. A gang of Ifteen men was working on the job of replacing old telegraph and telephone poles along the tracks. The old poles were being pulled down, steel ropes being used for this purpose. . One of the old poles snapped suddenly, the wire rope on which thirteen men were tugging fell across the third rail. There was a blinding flash of electricity and the entire thirteen were electrocuted. Three of the men were thown to the ground still holding the wire. They were practically incinerated. The others were shocked and burned but in falling the conductor of the electricity was knocked out of their hands. Ambulances were rushed from Lebanon and Fordham hospitals. How "Abide With Ma" Was Written. At the age of fifty-four Lyte found himself doomed to die of consumption, and In sorrow st having to leave his task unfinished he prayed that at the least It might be granted to him to write something which would live to the glory of God when he was dead. Then on the last evening he ever spent at Brlxham, after preaching his farewell sermon, he took pen and as the sun was setting over the ships that lay in the harbor "Abide With Me" was written. Next morning he started for the Riviera and there died a month later. London Telegraph. "THIS DATE

SCHOOLCHILDREN TO BE DETECTIVES h - (American News Service) Chicago. April 29. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of the Chicago public schools, started a movement today to bring 200,000 children in the greatest search eve organized for Elsie Probek.' Mrs. Young has requested every child attending the public schools to aid in the search for the lost girl next week during the spring vacation. The little girl disappeared recently from her home on Albany street, and all efforts thus far to get trace of her have failed. ' . . s Riding a Colt If a young colt is ridden or driven several miles over cobblestones or even -over a pike or gravel road he may be stqve up for life. A coifs legs and feet are filled with soft and tender bones, and his muscles and sinews are easily stretched and torn. Bones artnot iron, and they easily crumble under strain and pressure, and tendons often pull loose from where they are grown to young bones, and they cannot be grown back again. It takes a colt of almost Iron legs even at two years old to carry the lightest boy and run fast as far as a mile. Few race horses ever pull through training with good sound legs and feet.

There have recently been exhibited in Paris some living specimens of a curious insect brought from Rangoon by a well known French naturalist. It is a species of mantis, and ts body and legs are both shaped and colored to resemble a beautiful flower. Lying In wait for butterflies under a spray of leaves, it looks like an azure blossom, with a black spot in the center exactly resembling the tube of a corolla. The hinder part of the body Is drawn out into a long green stalk. Butterflies and other Insects are readily deceived by this mimic, and the" instant they touch it its claws seize them.

UGHT AMD THE EYES. !te the Amount Rather Than the In- , tensity of the Raya That Hurts. It is not so much the intensity of the light focused on the retina as it is the quantity received by that sensitive organ that causes retinal fatigue or worse. In the great mow fields ol the arctic regions the natives protect their eyea from the glare of the snow by goggles made of hollowed pieces of wood In which they have made small holes to look through. These, says the Optical Review, reduce the quantity of the light which passes into their eyes with consequent relief from the glare. So, too, if we look through a minute pinhole disk at the sun we can endure the very bright light much longer than when we look with the naked eyea. If we look at a distant electric arc light there is no retinal fatigue, while If wc look at the same light from a short distance there is great discomfort, and yet the two retinal images are of equal brilliancy, only in the first case this image is very much smaller than In the second case that is, the quantity of light is very much different. Then there is the flaming electric light which is now to be found in all of the large cities of the country. This light is much loss brilliant than that of the arc light, and yet its size is so great that this more than makes np the difference, and It is therefore very glaring and uncomfortable to look at. In skiascopy it is possible to use a very intense light If it Is made small In area, for the reasons above stated.
