OSTRICH FEATHERS IN FASHION.

“The Waterbury”
‘"Gath’s” Interesting: Conversation ith
a Citizen of llte Antipodal Continent.
Going out to tlit* coast were some A us-
Indians, with one of whom, named
George Walker, a hotel keeper in Mel
bourne, I talked parts-of several days to
the following effect :
“When did you leave Australia?"
“Last alav.' When I reach home,
•about Oct. 20. I shall have crossed the
■equator twice and been around the
world. The fare from Melbourne to Eng
land by Suez is nearly the ‘same as from
England by the United States hack to
Melbourne; say £70 each way, or §700
around the globe. J have spent in the
five months of my absence £500. I have
not been to England before for ten years,
and can hardly go again for five years
more. My brother came out to America
withane and went home from Chicago.”
“Only at Aden, in the Red sea, and we
tied up at night in the Suez canal, be
cause we carried no electric light. I got
off at Naples and came overland io Lon
don. The ship touches at. Plymouth
first, and then comes up the Thames to
Gravesend. Going back, we shall Cop
•at Honolulu and ut Auckland, New
Zealand. It is a tedious job crossing the
■equator, and for a fortnight wo are in a
languid sweat. Still, wo do not feel so
far out of the world as you might sup
pose, since we have an ocean cable and
get the news from everywhere daily.
There are two regular lines of steamers,
Ihe Peninsular and Oriental and the San
Francisco line, besides French and Ger
man service.”
“How is the railroad service, compara
tively?’ ’
“Better than in Europe. But in Aus
tralia the government of each province
owns all the railways. We have no cor
poration railways at all. The Victoria
railways pay nearly 5 per cent. Those
of New South Wales pay only 2 per
cent.—hardly that. But you see, Mel-
(boume city has 400.000 people.”
•“Then. I suppose, you have no exces
sively rich men, since you have no rail
way magnates?”
“God bless your soul, we have got one
man worth £8,000,000. He is a money
lender; old Money Miller he is called,
aged now 94 years. The poor fellow is a
skinflint. Ten per cent, is" low interest
for him. He made most of his money
going security for the administrators of
trust estates, where securities are required
■of double the sum involved. The law
plays directly into the old fellow’s hands
unconsciously. Wo havo a large line of
wealthy men: real estate in Melbourne is
enormously high. I thought to buy a
piece of ground ten miles from the city,
of only twenty-five acres, but the price
asked was £5,000. It afterward sold for
three times that amount. In the best
parts of Melbourne ground is £1,200 the
front foot, lots 200 feet deep.”
( “Have vqu got universal suffrage?”
“Yes. That is the trouble with us.
Our speaker of assembly, Sir Peter
Lalor, is the representative of the rough
element. Some years ago he was a pro
claimed rebel, having resisted the collec
tion of tho government tax on miners.
But without him and some other such
natural leaders of headstrong forces, I
suppose we should not get along at all.
The effect of universal suffrage is to
■make men vote into office people whom
they like rather than people they should
like. One fellow gives a dinner to every
•constituent; another buys up the bosses
of a district. The society of Australia
compared to that of England is like a
perpetual picnic. Those who stay after
they have made their pile are those who
find England dull and distasteful.”
“How do your colonies compare?”
'•New South, Wales, or Sydney, is the
old, conservative, jealous, parent state.
Melbourne is the American state of Aus
tralia. Their leading politician calls us
a mere cabbage garden, alluding to our
raising table vegetables for Sydney. We
•generally carry away anything valuable
or enterprising, such as the colonial ex
hibition of next year. South Wales has
a good city. Adelaide, of near 100,000
people. Perth is the young emporium
of West Australia; Brisbane is the chief
city of Queensland, where now is a good
deal of land speculation. Victoria is the
high tariff state, whilst Sydney is the
free trade port.
“Wo have a duty of above 27 per
cent, on machinery, so that §500 worth
costs above its value to import near §140.
Wo had a piece of public work to do re
cently where the home bid was £25,000
more than the English bid. yet the min
ister gave the work to the home bidders,
tmd they were unable to complete it. so
that it had linallv to be sent abroad, after

“Does Sydney grow faster than Mel
bourne?’ ’
“I think Sydney has been gi-owing
rather faster of late, although the gen
eral movement of the two states is in
favor of Melbourne, which is 500 miles,
farther south, and therefore colder and
much more energetic. You see our cold
climate is the southern. Our cold wind
comes from the south pole. Our spring
is next month. October, and our summer
is January. The sun rises differently to
us from its course overhead in Europe
and America. We have a cl incite alter
nated by stifling heat from the north and
cold bSowi from tire south, which we call
our southern busters.”—George Alfred
Townsend in Boston Globe.

When did the fashion drop out?”
“The decline in the use of ostrich feath
ers began about 1882. and since then the
fashion has steadily faded uis::I last year,
when scarcely any were used at all. But
the revival has begun, and you will soon
see the pretty plumes as plenty as ever.'
“Are the feathers imported in the con
dition they are worn?”
“Oh, no; the feathers are imported in
the raw state and prepared after they
reach here. There are only eight manu
factories of ostrich feat bent in the United
States, and seven are lo<

“What is the work done by tho girls?”
“Curling, wiring and preparing the
feathers. The curling is done by the aid
of a peculiar kind of knife made for the
purpose, the blade of which is curved.
As the work is of a delicate nature—for
each feather of the plume has to be
worked upon separately—it is necessary
that only exttert hands should be em
ployed. Carelessness cr want of experi
ence would soon cause heavy losses, for
the beauty qf plumes is heightened by
the evenness of every little feather. It
takes about five years for a girl to become
really expert, although many may be
come fairly efficient in a shorter time.
They earn from §7 to $25 a week, ac
cording to their qualification. The dyers,
who, of course, are men. earn from $15
to $35 per week.
Are the feathers of wild ostriches
used?’ ’
“No, not now. To get tho feathers of
a wild bird it is necessary to kill him.
and were that kept up the species would
soon become extinct. Ostriches are now
reared on farms in South Africa, whore
the feathers arc collected and sent to
this country, via London. When they
arrive they look very different from
those you see in the store windows.
They are dirty, draggled and discolored,
and havo to be cleaned. When first
taken from the washing the}' look ns bad
as those on a wet goose. By the process
of preparing they become the pretty
plumes you see. Long and elegant
plumes are prepared singly, while the
smaller ones are made into bunches of
three, like the emblem of tho Prince of
Wales. In order to prevent the feathers
from breaking it is necessary at times to
wire them, and this also requires ex
pertness, for a broken feather Is of little
value. ’ ’
“When did ostrich feathers become
fashionable as ornaments for women's
bonnets?”
“About ninety years ago. They were
brought into use by a man named De
Pinna, of London. Prior to that the
ladies wore them in dressing the hair for
state occasions. They soon Ix-camo a
rage for bonnet trimming, and the de
mand for ostrich feathers exceeded the

An Artist Ha* the Nightmare.
An artist of eminence, whose engraved
pictures are now to be seen in every
print shop window, has the nightmare
occasionally, but with him it invariably
takes one form. He seems to Ik- awak
ened by a Sensation of coldness, such as
might he caused by the sudden admission
of outdoor air, and at tho same times sees
a man’s hand busy with the window
fastening. He slips quiet ly from his bed,
takes up the poker, conceals himself be
hind the window curtain, hears the fast
ening of the window thrust back, and
with a sensation of spiteful glee raises his
weapon to bring it down with all his
force upon the head which he knows wid
in a minute or two be thrust into his
room. The window is slowly and softly
raised, and he is in a quiver of eagerness
to deal the vengeful blow.
There is a grim silence on his face, a
fierce flash in his eye. when, lo! the head
appears. But—horrors of horrors!—the
artist’s upraised is still and rigid; he
cannot strike the blow. And the face
then turned toward him is one of hideous
mockery and scorn, with protruding
tongue, the fangs of a wild beast, and the
expression of a fiend. And so he remains
face to face with this frightful enemy, ut
terly helpless, and in a state of indescriba
ble torture. The effect of nightmare in this
form is almost a maddeping one. and he
can only account for its frequent repeti- j
tion as resulting from an unusually pow- j
erful impression made uj>on his memory, i
in conjunction with its curious ally, the j
imagination, which is. in his case, one' of j
more than- usual power.—Cassell's Satur
day Magazine.
ment are generally inconvenient, and
sometimes, by their weight or construc
tion. are extremely painful.
In striking contrast with decorations
worn on the clothing, in the hair, round
the neck and arms, or pendant from the
ears, lips and nose, is the finger ring, tho
model of convenience. It is seldom lost,
for it need not 1m; taken off; requires no |
preparatory mutilation of the body, is
not painful, is always in view, a perpet-
ual reminder, either of the giver, or of
the purpose for which it is worn. The
popularity of the ring must, therefore, lx;
in large measure due to its convenience,
and that this good quality was early
learned may lx; inferred from the Hebrew
tradition, which attributes the invention
of this ornament to Tubal-Cain, the ‘"in
structor of every artifice in brass and
iron.”—D. R. McAnally in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
barbarism, and, forgetting his oats and | completed, the articles used for adorn
other comforts of civilization, runs off
with his wild brethren who have not en
joyed his superior advantages.
It must be confessed that our horses
need the restraints imposed upon them to
prevent them from disgracing their an
cestors, who were certainly domesticated
when they were introduced into this
country. Years ago it used to be the
custom in our southwestern territory to
brand the young stock, and even many
work animals, and turn them loose to
shift for themselves for a year or two.
When they were wanted they were al
ways as wild as Mexican mustangs. Mr,
Powell wrote a book on the best methods
of taming wild horses. The specimens
on which he exerted his talents as a
tamer were for the most part formerly
domesticated animals, who had forgot
ten all about their old restrains while
wandering over the plains of our south
western territory.
Travelers in the western territories are
no longer in danger of such irruption of
horse flesh as Murray describes in his
“Travels in North America.” He not
only witnessed a stampede of thousands
of panic stricken horses, but the living
torrent swept along toward and over his
camp, trampling skins and dried meat
into the ground, knocking down some of
the tents and taking with them all his
horses except his riding mare, who vainly
straggled to break her fastenings. They
still range, in much smaller herds than
formerly, on the plains of the upper
Colorado; but the wild horse, like the
buffalo, is disappearing before the ad
vance of the white man.
In spite of the experience of the Aus
tralians, many peoples, chiefly savage,
have been able to turn the wild horse to
good account. Hundreds of thousands
of Mexican mustangs have been reduced
to servitude. The wild horse of the-
South American pampas, which throe
centuries ago, only fifty years after the f
horse was introduced from Europe, had
spread to regions as remote as Patagonia,
has been tamed by thousands, and lias
become the useful servant of Indian
tribes.
Naturalists often discuss the question
whether there is now in the world such a
creature as an aboriginal, or truly wild
horse. We know very well that the wild
horses of the western hemisphere are all
descendants of domesticated animals.
Where, then, is the aboriginal wild horse
to be found? The question will probably
never bo settled. Mr. J. H. Steel, who
recently read an interesting paper on
“Wild IIorses rr before ihe Bombay Nat
ural History society,, thinks the evidence
is in favor of the existence of the wild
horse m central Asia. Gesner, the great
authority on zoedegy of the Sixteenth
century,, was of tire same opinion, but the
evidence has often been questioned, and
the assertion cararmt positively be made
that the wild horse of the great moun
tain region which the Russians are now
exploring is not hirnself the descendant of
ancient domesticated animals.
Another question of scientific impor
tance as yet unsolved is whether two or
three years’ run on the pampas would
rejuvenate the average street ear plug,
deveiope the latent savagery of his nat
ure and make a wild horse of him. If
tho equine liberty and freedom from hu
man restraint could achieve a miracle of
such proportions it would be very inter
esting to know it.—New York Sun.

Oil on tho Ocean’s Waves.
In Cu>l et Terre is an article in which
are detailed the conclusions of Admiral
Cloue based upon the British and Ameri
can official experiments, and others r.on-
officiaJ. Admiral Cloue has no hesitation
in affirming that the problem appeal's to
him to' lie practically solved. The quan
tity required to protect a ship during a
storm varies from about two to three
quarts per hour, dropped from perforated
bags hanging over the sides of the ship in
positions varying with the direction of the
wind.
The rapidity and extent of the out
spreading oi the oil are marvelous. The
film, by its own outspreading, reduces
itself to a thickness of only one-ninety-
thousandtli of a millimeter—i. e., less
than two-und-a-half-millionth part of an
inch. This inconceivably thin film re
duces the broken crested waves and dan
gerous “rollers" to unbroken undula
tions that are practically harmless, as
as they merely lift and roll the vessel
without breaking over it.. The oils which
have been found foe most effective are
seal, porpoise and Ssh oils. The latter
are very cheap, their chief present use
being for the dressing of leather. Min
eral oils are reported as fco> light. It is
evident from this that the gentlemen en
gaged in these experiments have only
tri ?d those which are in; common use for
burning in lamps. Tilers is another series
of 'ills distilled from the- same crude ma
terial, i. e. from natural petroleum and
from shale oils, which sxe much: heavier,
are used for lubricating purposes-, may be
had of any density from- that of the com
mon lamp oil to a crude dead oil that
sinks; in water.—-W. Mattieu Williams in

Ovid. “The other flay, at Lukun»a. I

big camp lire. They were relating, in an
excited manner,, many instances cf the
prowess and bravery—how. shooting ele

the brutes, but had escajied, owiig to
their courage and agility; what wonders
they had done hr the fields of sports and
