'UfBjpy RSI 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.” TO BE DRIVEN THROUGH TUBES. A Quirk Delivery System that Is I fit end til to Do Away With better Curriers. 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.” Tliv Folsom hoop, tsburg Dispatch. ‘There has been quite a change in our siness within the past lew years, re- irked the plump, good-natured looking msel who stood behind the counter of a svn town hair-dressing establishment i enjoyed a moment’s lull in the usual turday afternoon’s rush of business. ‘People outside of our trade” she con- ued, “don’t realize the rapidity with tich fashion does change the sty esfor aring the hair.

As the little ladv spoke she oragged from its resting place a set of antiquated waves, such as the older dnv‘i B i adl | CS i 0t 0' day usc ' 1 to Wear to Sun day sciiuol picnics and on other very sne- einl occasions.

See, there are d , at V, f °J& about two months apart, yet wholly different. The tlrst, you eee, has only four little curls, two on each uile oftne forehead, while the other has a row of nearly a dozen reaching from ear to ear. Then came straight bangs, then H ums, then the Langtrv and a halt dozen other bangs, and finally the fashion of chopping the hair off in front and combing it down died away and the very reverse was inaugurated. The hair was chopped 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. ibis style prevails yet to a great degree', and is an improvement on either the bang or the Pompadour. “Immediately after the president’s mar riage to Miss Folsom the Folsom loop be came a sort of rage among fashionable young ladies. It is a heavy loop of hair puJJeri down over the back of the neck and then brought up in a loose French roll. It brought back to hairdressers a good deal of the business that the decay of the bang took away.” as formerly ? “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.

The sight of tho prostrate men seemed to frighten the others, and a gen eral stampede took place, so that by tho time the police arrived all had escaped. The wounded men wore moved to a hos pital, where Constantino died a few hours later. Roeeo is still living, but his recov ery is considered doubtful. Five of the Italians were arrested this afternoon, but the Irishmen are still at liberty. It is be lieved that the latter intended to drive the Italians from the neighborhood.

Whatever disposition may be made of Geronlmo and his Cbiricab.ua braves there can be no difference of opinion about tho necessity of protecting tho Apache reser vation from the land grabbers. The clumor for the removal of tho tribe is to a great extent inspired by speculators who are eagerly awaiting an opportunity to rush in and appropriate the land.

A BIO OOUBLK. 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.” •VKW YOIIK MONI V MARUKT.
