STUFFING THE PETS.
8omn Sotretn of the Taxldermlat'* Art Kxposeil.
■which every .stranger stops in passing the
is Noble’s, the
first time. That corner „ UB
northeast or Bull and Hull streets. Inside
the window there is a triangular space
crowded with odd specimens of the taxi
dermist’s art. Pheasants, partridges, owls
a monkey, two or three kinds of ducks’
and a score of other birds and animals are
perched in the window, gazing solemnly
at the passers through glass eyes and look
ing as natural as life. The owl and the
monkey seem to be pondering somo grave
matter, as, for instance, the possibility of
their being able to digest the cotton with
which they are stuffed.
Mr. George Noble is the only profession
al taxidermist in the city. “A stuffed bird
•will keep forever,” said he yesterday,
pointing to some nonpareils that were
stuffed more than fifteen years ago. Their
plumage is as bright as it wus the day they
were killed.
When a taxidermist wants to stuff and
mount a dead bird or animal he has to go
to work carefully and methodically. If
he has a bird in hand the skin is cut with
a sharp scalpel along the breast from the
throat to the tail. While this is being
done the feathers are blown aside in or
der to escape blood. Then, with the same
scalpel, the skin is pulled back on each
side of the breastbone, and, as the work
progresses, liquid arsenic is applied. This
Is to preserve the skin. When it is re
moved from the body of the bird the tail
and throat are cut through and the carcass
is lifted out. The skiu is pushed back over
the skull, the brains are removed, and after
the legs are cut at the second joint and the
flesh removed, the skin is ready for stuff
ing. WireB are placed in the legs, tail and
wings, enough raw cotton is put in the
skin to distend it as in life, glass eyes are
inserted and the Bkin is then sewed up and
the wires bent to give the bird a natural
position. Four bandages have to be kept
around the body until the skin is dry to
keep it in shape.
“I stuff more canaries than anything
else,” remarked Mr. Nobles. “Ladies
bring their dead pets here and cry about
them and declare they would not part
with them for anything. Every once in a
while, though, there is some one whose
grief is not lasting and the pet is left on
my hands, and then it is a matter for me
to grieve over.”
“ There is a parrot that belongs to Ma
con,” he continued nodding in the direc
tion of a Polly that was sitting demurely
under a glass cover. “Of course no one
want’s to buy some one else’s dead pet,
and if the birds are not called for they are
a dead loss. It is the same everywhere,
and taxidermists now generally require
a deposit. Alligators are in fair demand
in the winter when the tourists are pass
ing through. Live ones are too much
trouble, while a stuffed one answers the
same purpose.”
Mr. Noble has ’gators of all sizes, from a
tiny one three inches long to an old
saurian every inch of nine feet long.
“I don’t like to stuff a snake,” the taxi
dermist observed, “and I’m glad that there
is very little occasion to have them stuffed.
Poisonous snakes have to be handled very
carefully, and there is always more or loss
risk. Cats and dogs are frequently stuffed,
and now and then squirrels and white rats.
Sportsmen often have a bird, or fox or deer
head mounted as a sort of trophy.”

New York Sun.
A certificate signed in Albany testifying
to the Incorporation of the Automatic De
livery Company and the papers incorpor
ating the company were filed in the county
clerk’s office at noon yesterdary. The in
corporators are Roscoe Conkliug, Isaac H.
Bailey, editor of the Shoe and Leather Re
porter: Peter Townsend Barlow, son of S.
L. M. Barlow; Daniel F. Lewis, treasurer
of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company;
Louis F. Frost, of Frost & Co., lawyers at
24 Park place; Edward S. Leayc.raft, who
practically invented the Western Union
time ball,'and Siegfried Hamraerschlog, a
manufacturer of the waxed paper used to
wrap up candy.
The papers incorporating the concern
state:
“The object iB the manufacture, con
struction, introduction, fitting, laying,
selling and renting of pneumatic tube or
other tube systems: the transmission and
delivery of matter by means of pneumatic
tubes or other systems or by pneumatic
and other systems together, and the intro
duction of appliances and apparatus con
nected therewith; to acquire by purchase
or otherwise, and to use or dispose of let
ters patent, licenses, concessions, grants
for and in respect to inventions relating to
pneumatic delivery, pneumatic tubes,
pneumatic or other tube systems, and the
use of pneumatics as a power; for promot
ing and forming subsidiary companies in
connection with the working of patents
relating to the objects aforesaid.
The capital of the company is put at
$500,000—6000 shares at $100—and the cer
tificate states that the tax of one-eighth of
one per cent. ($626) on the company’s capi
tal stock has been paid. The company
commenced business yesterday by electing
these officers: Peter Townsend Barlow,
president; Isaac H. Bailey, vice-president;
Daniel F. Lewis, treasurer; Louis W. Frost,
secretary; and Edwin S. Leavcraft, business
manager.
President Barlow said that the company
Was in its infancy, but was on a sound
foundation, and that its tubes had been
placed in big dry goods stores in this city,
Philadelphia and Boston.
“Eventually we hope to have our tubes
used by the post office In this and other
cities. Tubes could be placed between the
Stations and the general post office, and
also, perhaps a system of tubes between
the lamp post boxes and the general office
could be arranged. It would greatly facil
itate the transmission and delivery or the
mails, but no steps in that direction have
been taken yet, and we have not applied to
the department of public works to rip up
the streets.”

chopping the hair off in front and combing

off, and instead of being combed down,
was brushed up a la Pompadour. Then
came the fashion of combing the hair up
in front and then back without cutting it.

and is an improvement on either the bang

“Immediately after the president’s mar

took away.”

“No, I don’t think so. You see, while
bangs were in vogue almost every fashion
able woman had a false set. Now about
all the false hair that is worn is by women
who haven’t enough back hair to make
the Folsome loop properly. Of course
there are plenty of women who are com
pelled to depend on us for hair which na
ture has denied them, but they are outside
of the class which wears false hair simply
because it is fashionable to do so.”
“Do many ladies go tc hair dressers to
have their hair arranged?”
“Quite a number of the wealthier women
have regular hair dressrs employed, who
go to their houses and dress their hair for
them before any large party or other im-
portant event, or at regular intervals. The
great majority of women, however, attend
to their hair themselves, and our trade Is
gradually growing more and more con
fined. It will never die out altogether, but
will never again be what it was a quarter
of a century ago, unless fashion takes an
other of its reverse movements and decrees
that nature’s head-covering is not the
proper thing for women to appear in.”
WHITE EARTH RESERVATION.
The OjjIj Soil »vrr Occupio.l !>j* IVliitc .Hen.
Washington, September 19.—The only
“virgin soil,” that is, the only laud that
has never been in the possession of white
men in the United States, is the White
Earth reservation, in Minnesota, on which
live 7000 Chippewos, whose ancestors won
it by hard fighting from the Sioux. The
hereditary chieftain of the Chippewasis
now au attache of the United States geo
logical survey, and is on duty in this city.
This Indian’s name, like that of his futhcr
and grand father, is Hole-in-the-day, but
he has taken the name of his white step
father and is known as Charles Woodbury.
His father, Hole-in-the-day second, mar
ried a white woman while in Washington
on a visit, took her bock to the reserva
tion, built a nice house for her and lived
happily with her until he died. Then she
went to St. Paul, taking their child, Hole-
In-the-day third, and married a white
man named Chariep Woodbury. The latter
brought up her son as his own, gave him
an excellent education and his name.
Hole-in-the-day third seems content never
to go back to the home of his fathers.
Meanwhile his people are governed
by the sub-chiefs, wno are aided by
the counsel of ex-Senator Henry
M. Rice, of Minnesota, the friend
of Hole-in-the-day first. When the
latter was dying he formally substituted
Rice for himself, by solemn ceremonies, as
the father of his son and of his tribe. Ever
since the Chippewas have never taken an
important step without consulting Rice.
Ouco a year regularly, and oftener If need
be, a delegation of them come down to St.
Paul to see him and get his advice as to
how the tribe shall act during the coming
year. Rice, who is here now, is growing
old. When he dies the young surveyor
may have to assume his hereditary respon
sibilities. Hu is a modest and agreeable
young man of ability and attainments.

A Very Bail Mako-I'p*
One of the funniest mistakes in the

mistake, was made by the foreman of tho

ing appeared on last Thursday:

A Movement In ltnllroml Circles of Interest to Us.
Talladega, Ala., September 20.--News front
rather a reliable source to the Advance says:
“The A. & A. Railroad Company has made u
proposition to the Columbus and Western
road to soil to them, and the trade will probably
be consummated this week. The A. & A. is to
bo made a broad gauge and extended to Mont
gomery via Rockford. The Louisville and Nash
ville is backing tho movement, and will own a
system fearfully antagonistic to the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad. This may be
denied,Tint think it Is true. A recent New York
paper intimated aH much and that J. Gould was
tlie gobbler of the whole affair.”
days ago an Indian company came here to
ply their vocation, that ol selling medi
cines. They were managed by Dr. Arthur
Waite, and gave entertainments every
evening in a large lot on Georgetown
street, Dr. Waite doing the talking and
selling the mediciue, while the “red men
from the lava beds” gave a most interest
ing performance with tho assistance of a
brass baud. From night to night
they have attracted large crowds
and have sold thousands of dollars’ worth
of their medicines. Our city has been for
a week or more under a cloud of distress,
owing to there being so much sickness
among the children,that of diphtheria.and
the school board held a meeting and or
dered that all public schools be closed until
further notice. The board of health also
met, of which Dr. John Bowers is a prom
inent member, and asked the city author
ities to compel Dr. Waite and his tribe of
Modocs to cease cheir selling medicines
and giving nightly performances on the
ground that such large crowds assembling
together at this particular time was calcu
lated to spread this awful disease.
Dr. Waite emphatically refused to close,
saying that he had paid his license and
was entitled to proceed. Last night the
city council held a called meeting and re-
yoked his license. Still Dr. White, in a
speech to the public lust evening, said he
would be Oil hand again to-night, notwith-
standing. The matter is town talk and
some lively developments are looked for, i
as the doctor is a plucky man and says he
will fight it out, and that lie came here for |
a four weeks’ stay and would certainly re
main that length of time, if he had to give
his medicines away.
Ilase Hull Jotting*.
It is only a question of time when lead mg bull
clubs will have a pitcher for each day in the week.
A sportsman well versed in baser ball matters
says: “There is no patent device that cau be
gotten up to accelerate the human arm. A
pitcher, to get up the necessary speed, must
bring more power into play to manipulate the
ball than can be found in any single piece of ma
chinery. I compute the force required lor the
many deliveries in a single game. There are
twenty-seven outs to a single game on each side,
but the times at the bat must be considered.
Some players get at the bat as high as tive times
a game and as low as threo times. The aver
age may be four. Take it at four, and you
have thirty-six batters a pitcher must face in a
single game. A batter may be put out on the
first delivery, or lie may make a hit. Then,
again, he may get six halls or two strikes, or
both, called ou him, or eight deliveries in all If
each batsman would consume all that eftbrt the
36 would require ‘288 deliveries in all, Strike an
average of four deliveries and you have 141 in the
game for each pitcher, to say nothing of his
cutclies, his throwing to bases, and other necessa
ry exertion a pitcher is subjected to. One hun
dred and forty deliveries require ou extraordinary
amount of strength. Much more speed is now
required from a pitcher than when Spaulding
and McBride used to do all the pitching for theu
respective clubs.”
