Spare ttie Forrsti,
A French forestry journal say.- that thir

Central Asia. It wm well worked and
splendidly w.-itcrcd. Al.Kvit twenty-five

orests seized upon the pcopk-, and now
all the great fi rests lutve t een cut away
and the little that remained was rarnireil
by Are iltirins; a civil war. The conse
Hieiices were u t lonij in fullowinif, and
have transformed tbis country into a kind
of arid d-surt. The water courses are
dried np nnd the irrinting canals empty.
Th moving aruli of the ueert, being no
longer resti r.:iie.l by bnrriers of forest, are
very day :r.m:n,z nMn the laiul, and will
finish by transforming it into a desert as
desolate as the solitudes that separate it
from Khiva. Have Americans Inrynn the

soon?

BIRDS THAT GO ON HATS.
An Explanation of Sonic of the lIyt
rlorta Crratlona IhAl are Seen.
A (Trent heap of wide-spreml antlers in
the window, with a simple Mack nnd whit
siam above them which reads, " Taxider
mist," is the only street display of a down
town place of business where hundreds of
thousands of bird have been flayed and
their nkins dressed for the ornamenting of
hats and bonnets, and hundreds of hides
of all sort of animals, from a mouse to a
cinnamon bear or an African tiger, have
been mounted for the use of dealers in furs
and the decoration of parlors and studies.
The chief part of the business is the prepa
ration of birds for milliners. A pretty
black-eyed girl behind the counter m the
front room naid that the business was not
verv brisk in winter, but with the romin.ee
of the birds in spring it would become very
lively.
" What kind of birds do you use most "
"The common sorts red-winged black
birds, reed birds, snipes, turtle doves, ori
oles, yellow birds, thrushes. Any small
binl can be tisod."
' How do you get them "
"We buy "them from men who make a
business of supplying us. Most of the birds
we handle are from Xew.Iersev, but a good
many come from IiOtig Island, and we re
ceive some from the West and South. A
few are imported."
" What do you pay for them "
" That depends on the fashions entirely.
Two years ago the demand of the milliners
was for red wings and yellow birds. Wo
paid from twenty-five to thirty-live cents
apiece, and at one time we had to pay as
high as forty-seven cents apiece for a lot.
Last year we got all we wanted at from
seven to eight rents each. When the hunt
ers have to supply a brisk demand, thc-y can
get more, of course, because the supply of
birds of each variety does not vary greatly
from year to year."
" Do the hunters shoot the birds "
" I gruess not. I do not find any shot in
flaying those bought from regular cus
tomers." " How do they catch them then ? "
" I gues you could not gt i them to tell
you. There is one man who brings tis from
1,500 to 2,(H) a week during the warm
months. He says he has a partner and no
other help. He lives in Ked Hank. One
would think the woods would be depopu
lated, or else that he would get rich enough
to retire, but he has been working away
for years now.
"Where do all these fancy birds that
look like pictures of tropical rarities come
from?"
" All from Jersey. By inserting a snipe's
bill in the place of the bill of a crow bliick
bird. and then combining parts of the skins
of other common birds we produce a mon
strosity, but if t lie colors are well matched
the result in attractive to the common eye,
however grotesque it may appear to one
who knows all aliout the appearance of
birds. It is not. uncommon to see in the
Grand street windows hats thut have half
a dozen bird heads projecting from one
mass of feathers that might be the breast
of a swan or the pickings from a second
hand pillow. The wings that adorn some
hats ar about as much like wings as a
stovepipe is like a lead pencil. Hut those
queer tastes are the making of our busi
ness. The portions of the bird's skin
which are cut away when mounting a bird
naturally for a hat can all be used up in
wings by gluing them on a model. I read
In The Sun the other day about an Ohio
young woman whose nerves were wholly
shattered in a millinery store because, as
the article said, of her sympathy for the
poor little birds she had to handle. I
guess there was some error about that. I
think the shock must have come from a
contemplation of some of our combination
birds. She has my sympathy."
Yankee noodle's Origin.
Every onc e in a while our national song.
"Yankee Doodle." is the cause of a spirited
dispute among those who search after the
origin of such t hires. Such a controversy
is on just at present, and it is reviving some
interesting history about that old-fashioned
tune. Vroni the est theories that can
be formed it is prnbable that " Yankee Doo
dle" first cr.me from Holland. In the low
countries of that kingdom there hashing
been a song which the harvesters sang, il
lustrating the fact that, buttermilk and one
tenth of the grain they gathered was given
as the price of their labor. It runs thus :
Yanker didel. doodol down,
I lidel, diulel iauiT.
Yftnke vfver, voover vnwn,
Kutemiilk nnd Tantlier
The air to which these words were sung
was afterwards carried to Ktiglar.d and ap
plied to words written in derision of Crom
well almost exactly .is they are known in
this count ry and named " Nankre Doodle."
The soiiw: was brought to this lund soon
after the landing of our forefathers and
was known as " I-ydia Fisher's J ig." In
1775 the r gular troops, while the Continen
tal Congress was discussing the question
of separating from the mother country,
used to sir. the air to such verses as these :
"N.iiikee Poodle came to town,
Kor t'i buy a lirc'.orrk ;
We will t.-ir atid fearher him.
And so wo will .lolm Hancock."
It was not adopted by the Americans aa
a familiar air until r.fter the bat t les -if Con
cord nv.d I.ox;ngo;i, wl.en the brig vie un
der Lord I'err y -;; arched cut of Boston,
playing bv tire way r f contevr-t " I .ydia
Kisl.'-r s .fin." or hst is now known as
" Yankee Doodle." Philadelphia Times.

FROM PAGE TO SENATOR.
The Snreeaafnl Career of Dirk Town
abend Who ftmf Succeed Logan.
Congressman Dick Townshend, who has
just announced himself as a candidate
for the Illinois senatorship, to succeed
General Ixigan, is one of the handsomest
and cleanest looking Democrats in the
House. He is forty-five years old. straight
as a plummet line, and has a modest air
which Indies his most ambitious nature,
He is now serving his fourth term in
Congress, and is one of the coming men of
his party. Mr. Townshend wns born in
Maryland, and at the age of ten removed
to Washington, where he began life ns a
clerk in .Toe Shillington's book store. Mr.
Shillington. who is one of the old stagers
of the capital, says he was a bright boy,
and that he paid great attention to the
great men up on the hill. He was also
Fond of political discussion, and used
often to talk politics with an older clerk
named Buckingham. Townshend was
bright, too. and he often pushed Hncking
ham to the wall. One day when Buck
ingham had been so badly worsted he said
to young Townshend: "It makes no
difference what you say. Dick Town
shend, you are nothing but a bov. any
how!" The boy Townsond replied: "I
know I am only a boy now, but I am
going to be a Congressman some day.
.lust you wait a few years and I will be
getting J5,0oo a year in that house on the
hill while you are still clerking nt a few
dollars a week.
" And," continued Mr. Shillington, " he
has done so sure enough. He got a position
in the Senate not long after this ns a page,
through some of the senators who used to
buy books here, and there formed such a
friendship with Judge Marshall of Illi
nois, that the judge persuaded him to
go to Illinois with him. In Illinois he
first taught school, and then studied law.
Marshall then took him into partnership
with him and in due time he was elected
to Congress. If he gets the to Senate he
will be the second senator now in the
body who betran life as a page there. I
refer to Senator (Gorman as the other."

A story I heard last nirht related to
George Howie, the inventor of the bewla
knife, or the " Arkansas toothpii. k." as !t
is also called. It is said that Bowie wa
as gentle and chivalrous as he was hrir
and rccardh-ss of human life. ne iriht,
years ago, while riding in a star-re t. ars
(.ihio, on the old national pike, a p r!y

jiassengers. Howie did not spoak t ". '!irrv,
