'Don't sit there; litre's a li beetle
on the dinir. Here, I'll set .vi11 a "cut.
What, something there 11U0? Oh, that's
onlj my big spider. Here I'll soon flip
Uim oil." iSo spoke a worker in feathers
to a New York Sun reporter he hud in
vited to look at what he called a new
folly in dress. He took from a band box
a diminutive bundle of roses, from which
the possessor was willing to take oath
was a bonnet. "As it appears now there
is nothing remarkable about it, but it is
not ready yet. One moment, and I'll
show you," and from a box on a shelf ho
took out magnificent butterfly, and by a
dexterous movement attached it to the
flowers on the 'lonnet, that now looked
like an ordinary bonnet with the butter
fly on the flowers.
"I am only experimenting," continued
the man, but when this" bonnet goes
home it will be ready for use, not with
dead insects, but with live ones. Under
tho petals of the roses I have a very deli
cate set of claspcrs, each lined with a
soft wax, into which the feet of the in
sects fit, so that the animal is not hurt in
the slightest. When the bonnet is used
the insect is put in, and during tho ride
rests naturally, raising its wings ns in
nature. In fact, tho bonnet, when ready,
will be made of fresh flowers, fct in nnd
caught by tho springs of the frame. Oh,
yes, they are extremely fashionable. You
see every lady can have her bonnet of
violets entirely, and I have a butterfly
from South America that will cost $33 to
go with it as an exact match. ,
"Alive? Of course. I have the
cocoons of almost every kind you can
think of, and can bring them out when
ever t wish by increasing the temperature
of tho hatching box. A rich spring bon
net is made of daisies, and I have seen
one made of buttercups. It had two
sulphur-colored butterflies upon it of tho
uenus Colias. You see the bonnets are
lor either a single drive or for an evening
entertainment where the' head dress is to
be worn. Some cost more than $100,
just for one night, and you can make
them cost as much as you wish. Yes,
animals of one kind or another are al-
"ways in fashion, and tho more they cost
the better they suit. You know, among
the people who make money suddenly
the majority judero everything bv this
standard, and when I get one as a cus
tonicr I always make all I can.
A laay 01 una sort called on me
some time ago. I knew she was a little
fresh with her money; so when she asked
me what I would make such and such a
garment for,I bowed, and said $300. This
was $250 more than it was worth. As I
expected, she demurred and I immediate
ly begged her to pay what she wished, i
made the garment, sent it home, and re
ceived a check for $100. 1 made, as you
pee, 1 150. lnere are thousands like her.
They won't wear anything unless it is ex
pensive. Lost winter a lady came to me
and said: ur. K , there is going to be
masquerade in Cleveland next month,
nnd I wish to have the handsomest and
most original aress tnere. (Jan you
promise to supply it?' '1 can,' said I,
'What will be the character you would
suggest?' said she. 'I think,' said I, 'that
Madame would look well in a bird of
paradise costume.'. She gave me the order,
and I made a train dress of the feathers
of the red, superb, king, and other fa
mous birds of paradise thut cost $500,
That is, it cost her that. I had bought
the skins the day before from a man who
got them from Mr. Holland at a loss.
Between you and me, they cost me $150.
But after all I came near losing her
as a customer. She had a friend who I
imagined was something of a rival, and
several days after 1 received the
first order she came in and told me about
the same story, and also wanted the best
costume. You know what some of the
costumes are to be, don't you?' she ask
ed, looking me in the eve. I confessed
that I did. Well," und here she hand
ed me a bill, and a big one, ' this is a re
tainer that I am not outshincd. You can
wager she was not."
wnai was ine costume?" tne re-
porter asked.
" It was made up entirely of the breasts
of humming birds, was a rich metal pur
ple, and I don't know how many skins I
used in it. But it was considered the
prize costume. Of course the other ladv
came to me in a rage, and the only way
1 saved my hair was by telling her that
ner aress cost tne most and was tho rich
est and m the best taste. Feather dresses,
of course, are cot common, as the cost is
excessive. The emperor of Brazil has a
robe of state that cost nearly $10,000, o
I have been told. On one side it is made
up of the selected feathers of the cock of
the rock, and ou tho other of feathers
from a hummer, so rare that there are
hardly ten specimens in the United
States.
"I occasionally get an order for tro
gon feathers. They are found in South
America and Mexico, and are of a mr.g
nihcent green. I made an opera cloak
ot tnem lor a .Mexican lady last winter
We have found a new use for the Kng
lish sparrows. They are sold for ubou
a cent apiecb. The body sells as reed
bird, and wo take the wings, dye them
red, yellow and sell them as South
American birds. No one would know
the dillerence."

The Toungrcst Soldier or the IteTolu
tion.
Kiehard Lord .Tone was born at Col-
Chester, Conn., on May 15, lit. lie
enlisted at Hart ford, for the term of three
years, In Captain James Watson's com
pany of the Third Connecticut regiment,
commanded by Colonel Samuel B. Webb,
the father of the venerablo GeneralJamcs
Watson Webb, and was the youngest
enlisted person on the pay roll of the
Armyof tho Revolution. Ho was im
mediately placed tinder tho charge of
Bandmaster Ballentiuc, and instructed
to play the life.
Tho regiment was at one time engaged
in nn enterprise having in view the de
struction of ft large quantity of lumber
on Long Island. But tlic colonel and a
number of men, among whom was
Kiehard, were captured while returning,
sfter a successful expedition, by the
British sloop of war "Falcon" and taken
to Newport.
Liion tno arrival oi tno prisoners at
Newport, they were taken boforo a
British officer for examination. The
olonel. being called forward, was fol
lowed by Dick, who was nnxious to learn
what his own fate was to be. The British
officer, noticing tho littlo fellow at the
heels of the colonel, sternly inquired:
" ho aro yon? '
"I am one of King Hancock's men," an
swered Dick, straightening himself
proudly.
What can vou do lor nimf" asKea
the officer, with a smile, and so strong an
emphasis on the "you" that Dick an
swered detiantly :
"can light for hi in."
"Can you light one ot King George's
men?"
"Yes. sir," answered Dick, promptly,
and then added, after a little hesitation,
if ho is not much bigger than 1."
The officer called forward the boats
wain's boy, who had been curiously look,
ing on ; then turning to the young conti
nental, asked:
"Dare you fight him?"
Dick gave the Briton, who was con
siderably larger than he, a hasty survey,
and then answered:
'Yes, sir."
'Then strip," said the officer, and
turning to the British lad, "strip, and do
battle for King George."
Both boys divested themselves of all
superfluous clothing as rapidly as possi
ble, and went to work at once, and in
dire earnest. It was a "rough and tum
ble" fight; first one on top and then the
other, cheered in turn by cries of, "Give
it to him, King Hancock 1" and "Hurrah
for King George I"
It was a memorable encounter for both
contestants, but at last the courageous
little rebel got the better of his adver
sary. The young Briton shouted
enough," nnd was rescued from the em
brace of his furious antagonist.
With a generosity natural to grent
minds, but seldom displayed during the
ar of Independence, tho British omcer
ordered the discharge of our young hero,
for his pluck, and he was set at liberty.

Protecting tho Great Statue.
In erecting the great Statue of Liberty,
two things had to bo considered that
seem very trifling,-and yet, if neglected,
might destroy the statue in one day, or
cause it to crumble slowly to pieces. One
is the sun, tho other is the sea breeze.
Either of these could destroy the great
copper figure, and something must be
done to prevent such a disaster. The
heat of the sun would expand tho meta
and pull it out of shape, precisely as it
does pull the Brooklyn bridge out of
shape every day. Tho bridge is made in
four parts, and when they expand with.
tho heat of the sun they slide one past
the other, and no harm is done. The
river span rises and falls day and night,
as heat and cold alternate. The great
copper statue is likewise in two parts,
tho frame-work of iron and copper cov
tring; and whilo they are securely fas
tened together they can move one over
the other. Each bolt will slip a trifle as
tho copper expands in the hot August
sunshine, and slide back again when the
freezing winds blow and the vast figure
shrinks together in the cold. Beside
this, the copper surface is so thin and
elastic that it will bend slightly when
heated, vet keep its general shape.
The salt air blowing in from the sea
has thin fingers and a bitter, biting
tongue. If he finds a crack where it
can creep in between the copper surface
and iron skeleton, there will be trouble
ut once. These metals do not agree to
gether, and. where there is salt moisture
in tho air they seem to quarrel more bit
terly than ever. It seams that every
joiniug of poiuts of copper and iron
makes a tiny battery, and so faint
shivers of electricity would run through
all the statue, slowing corroding and
eating it into dust. This curious, silent,
and yet sure destruction must be pre
vented, and so every joint throughout
the statue, wherever copper touches iron,
must bo protected with little rags stuffed
between the metals to keep them from
quarreling. It is the same wherever two
dillcrent metals touch each other. Im
agine what a tremendous battery the
Liberty would make, with its tons of
copper surface and monstrous skeleton
of iron. However, a little care prevents
all danger, as provisions will be made,
cf course, for keeping the metals from
touching each other. St. Nieholat,
The recan Tree.
The pecan tree is found in a wild state
in the woods of various sections of the
South and West. It grows to a very
large sie, und bears yearly muny bushels
of line-flavored nuts. Though little or
uo attention has been paid to these valu
able trees, cultivation greatly improves
them, the nut growing much larger and
improving in flavor. The pecan tree lives
to a great age, and continues long in
bearing. There is no good reason why it
should not be grown extensively in all
parts of tho United States. It is well
adapted to almost any kind of soil, doing
well even on rocky hills and waste laud.
There is no nut or fruit tree more valu
able and requiring so little attention.
Every farmer, in my opinion, should have
.his nut orchard, and cultivate especially
tiie pecan for home use or sale. The nuts
always rind ready Bale at fancy prices.
Iti plautiug tho trees the only object is to
obtain good fresh, nuts, and of a good
early variety, of largo 'size, from which
to jjrov the trees. If it is preferred to
set out the plants, got healthy trees of a
good vuriety, oue to tw years old. .

A Hot I'lnt-e In Sr miner.
A Brooklyn (N. Y.)
traveler thus do-
tails his experiences
during a three vears
residence in South Africa: "I landed at
Capo Town," ho said. "This is a place
of 40,000 inhabitants, three-fourths of
whom aro blacks or Malays. Tho May
lays have seven wives apiece; that is the
most interesting and tinfortunnto thing
that can be said against them. The other
quarter of the population is European.
A small cottago thoro containing four or
fivo rooms will cost $45 a month ; a good
sized dwelling will cost three times that
sum. Coal is $15 a ton; meat from 15
to 25 cents a pound; whisky is 20 cents
a drink; imported ale $1 a bottle. At
tho restaurant a good meal can bo had
for 25 cents, consisting of such things ns
roast beef, mutton chops, soup, bread,
butter, coffee, rolls, etc. In October,
November and December there are ter
rific gales that sweep over tho town. Tho
drivers of vehicles wear green spectacles
on account of the dust, nnd tho women
at the approach of the hurricane, sit
down promptly for fenr of sailing sky
ward like so many balloons.
"I went to South Africa ns a trader,
speculator, and spent much of my time
in fact the best part of it fn tho back
country. Of course, I visited tho dia
mond fields. Thoy are in tho hnnds of
the two companies, English and French,
w ho have from tho government the priv
ilege of working the. mines. They are
not doing much in them, at tho present
time on account of tho prevailing dull
ness in the diamond market. Tho mines
aro worked by blacks, and I suppose
there are about 2,000 at work at the pres
ent time, about a quarter the number
that could be found there whon times
-were good. The superintendents and
better class of workers live in houses
made of sheet-iron; tho common delvers
in small brushwood houses. Some of the
houses have three rooms and a kitchen ;
some have only sleeping places or bunks.
1 ho Zulu Kaffirs live in the meanest kind
of huts. They only work long enough
to earn some money with which to buy
guns; then they go back to tho country,
four hundred miles away, and engage in
warfare with some of tho branches of
their tribes. There aro twenty-one tribes
of Zulu Kaffirs. The workmen have few
chances to steal diamonds themselves,
but they have been known to slip one
of-tho valuables into tho pocket of some
visitor in tho hope of seeing him later
and arranging with him as to its sale,
and the visitor has had the diamond
found on him by some of the officers and
been promptly sent off to the western
coast, there to work from ten to twenty
years on tho breakwater they are build
ing in thnt section. Tho workmen were
once paid $1 a day; now they do not get
so much. Tho officers who oversee them
used to get from $25 to $50 a week now
they get from $15 to $23.
"I rodo into the back country on a
cart, keeping the west coast and endeav
oring to trade with the natives for skins,
ostrich feathers, and other goods, which
I would dispose of to the arriving vessels
at Cape Town. The country is dry and
barren ; there are plenty of stones, but
no trees, the tallest bushes aro not over
four feet high. At the numerous rivers,
where they cross the roads, you will now
and then find a tree or two standing to
gether near the banks. You will often
meet wild . animals, tigers, leop
ards, hyenas, jackals, monkeys
and elephants, bur they will
not molest you unless you attack them ;
on the contrary, they are afraid of a
human being, and will, unless ravenously
hungry, run away from you. There ore
plenty of poisonous snakes there six feet
long, which jump at you and bite you
quickly, if you are not on the lookout
for them. The natives eat the meat of
the buffalo and the buck, and hunt the
wild animals for the sake of their skins,
tiger skins tanned being about $9.
"It is very hot there in the summer
season, and in some parts there is a great
scarcity of water. Within one hundred
miles of Cape Town you will find a nice
country and water enough, but beyond
that it is very dry. In the winter timo,
when the rains come and swell up tho
rivers like a flash, as you might say, you
would think you would be drowned.
The water comes quickly, and at the
moment wipes away everything within
its immediate reach; but tho country
is as dry as ever within a lew hours.
In the hottest season it is 128 to
130 Fahrenheit; in tho shade
that is, such shade as there is where the
sun's rays strike directly it is from 150 to
154. The moment the sun rises it it
hot; the moment it sets it is cool.
People cannot, of course, work all day
in such weather; they stay in the house
from 10 to 3, but of course tho heat does
not effect them so much as it does a
newly-arrived foreigner, and after awhilo,
if he is strong and healthy, can stand it
pretty well.
"The country is sparsely populated,
mostly by the Dutch and Germans. The
Dutchmen do not till the soil, but con
fine their attention to the raising of
sheep, oxen and ostriches, making it a
special business.
"If a farmer is rich the children get
their schooling from a private tutor ha
hires to live on tho place. Of course
thcro aro no public schools, and the
farmers are generally manv miles apart
at a distance say of half a day or a
day's walk."
Tlio Telephone Fifty Years Agro.
A little more than fifty years ago the
employes of the Arms Shoe manufactory
at South Deertield beguiled their leisure
hours by kite flying. Kites large and
small were sent up daily, and the strife
was to see who would Ret the largest. The
twine which held them was the shoe
thread spun and twisted by the ladies of
tho villuge. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached a kitten sewed
in a canvas bag, with a netting over the
mouth to give it air. "When the kite
was ut its greatest height some nine
hundred feet or more the mewing of
the kitten could bo distinctly heard by
those holding the string. To the clear
ness of tho atmosphere was attributed
the hearing of the kitten's voice, and
no telephonic patent wa applied for.

A cat had caught a mouse on a lawn
and let it go again in her cruel way itt
order to play with it, when the mouse,
Inspired by despair and seeing only one
hole possibly to cseawo into, namely, the
round, red throat of tho cat, very visible
through her open mouth, took a bold
spring into her jaws, just escaping be
tween her teeth, and struggled and
tutted herself into her throat, with the
result that tho cat was suffocated.
There is a negro woman in Mariottft,j
Ga., who is gradually turning white
white spots cover her faco and other
parts of her body. This blenching pro
cess of n a lu ro has been going on for
somo timo. The woman is working for
ono of tho best families of the place. She
is apparently in good health, and the
white spots, which keep enlarging and
spreading over hor body, cannot be ac
counted for upon any other hypothesii
than that sho has a peculiar skin disease
that is working out this wonderful trans
formation. It gives her no uneasiness
whatever, because it is painless.
A very good spidcr-and-fly story is told
on the authority of Mr. Thomas Bell, tho
naturalist, who witnessed tho act. "A
very strong, loud, blustering follow of a
bluebottlo fly bounced accidentally into
a spider's web. Down rushed tho old
spider and threw her long arms around
his neck ; but ho fought and struggled,
nnd blow his drone, and batted and tore
tho web into holes, and cot loose The
spider would not let go his hold, and tho
fly flew away with tho spider 1"
When snakes aro shedding their skins
they will not cat at all, as they go blind,
and a snake will not eat anything it can
not see. When they aro about to shed
their skins they givo a great blow at their
mouths and this loosens their skins, and
it comes off from the head and they
crawl out. Then they are very hungry
and will eat anything. Somo snakes
won't cat in the daytime; othors won't
eat when thcro is a crowd looking on.
In the 'Travels in Spain,' by the Mar
quis of Zanglc.he speaks of a parrot that
retained a quantity of things an incred
iblo number of stories and anecdotes
which it related nnd articulated without
hesitation. It spoko Spanish, murdered
French, knew somo verses of Racine,
could say grace, repeat the fablo of tho
crow, and count thirty louis. They dared
scarcely to hang its cage at the windows,
for when it was there and tho weather
was fine tho parrot talked ceaselessly. It
said everything it knew, apostrophized
all pnsscra-by, except women, and talked
politics. To ono of these birds Prince
Leon owed his lite, lie had been con
demned to death by tho father, nnd the
parrot took it so much to heart ho kept
repeating, 'Alas! my master Leon,' and
tho sorrow of tho bird made such an im
pression on tho brutal father that ho re
leased his son.
A vessel has brought North quite a
curiosity. It is a double turtle; or, in
Dther words, two turtles connected, a la
Biamcso twins. Tho animals aro joined
together at their extremities, and where
the connection is made the fleshy part is
nearly as thick as at any other portion of
tho body. There are two separate, nearly
circular shells on the back, and
it each extremity of the combined
mimal a little head projects, whilo
(hero are three legs on a side, mak
ing six in all. Tho entire length of
this monster is about four inches, and it
Is, approximately, two inches wide.

cruelty to all kinds of animals by securing
the passage and enforcement of laws to
accomplish that object. It also takes into
consideration things which pertain to

waiting-maids her only encumbrances:
