There was no bird in the world to- wards which the eyes of zoologists were turned in more admiring wonder than that pride of Australia, the lyre bird. Yet the rarer the bird became the flercer grew- the competition to secure its tail feathers, and not long ago a party of plume-hunters sur- rounded a patch of scrub in which the birds were known to be breeding, and, setting fire to it, shot down the birds as they struggled through one pitiless ring of fire to meet death in another. Then the tail feathers weae cut off and the bodies left to rot. Even the law is set at defiance by the gangs of men who make a live lihood by the slaughter of the birds. Not long ago a gang was surprised on one of the islands which the United States had decreed to be a “bird reser- vation," and these men had in their possession the plumage of 300,000 birds. So wary is the bird that it keeps be- yond the range of a fowling-piece. but is shot today with a soft-nosed bullet from a Mauser rifleâ€"a dreadful mis- sile, which often tears away a great piece from the body of the bird. Even in this sickening condition, unless the mutilation be such as to prevent flight, the majestic creature will take wing in one last effort to escape. Of a sudden it falls lifeless to the earth â€"and woman’s wish is gratified. One Gang Shoots 300,000 So far this year but three plume sales have taken place in London, yet in those three sales alone there were catalogued the skins of over 26,000 hum....ng birds. The feeding grounds of the Ameri- can jabiru, the largest but one of liv- ing storks, are also~ the scenes of slaughter during the very period when the bird should have respite. Thirty thousand quills of these birds are sold annually in London alone, and as the species was never very numerous, it will soon be wiped out. Scenes of Slaughter. Thirty years ago there were heron- ries in the United States which were estimated to contain about 3,000 000 white herons. At the same period these birds roamed widely over China in prodigious multitudes. But evrsn these vast hordes could not withstand slaughter during the breeding season, and now the white herOn is practically exterminated both in North America and in China. Now the same havoc is being wrought in South Americaâ€" in every country of the world, indeed, where the white heron is still found. At that time birds' natural fear of man disappears under the stress of providing for and protecting their young, and it is under conditions such as these that the old birds are shot and rifled of their plumes. and the young left to die of starvation in the nest. “The whole volume of the bird life of the world is being reduced at an alarming rate,” he said, and then he gave the reasonâ€"that to obtain the feathers the birds had to be killed in the breeding season. The havoc that is being wrought among birds to satisfy demands of modern millinery was pressed home by Mr. James Buckland in a striking speech at the annual meeting of the Selborne Society, London, England.

MURDEROUS MILLINERY SAVED FROM Appendicitis cured By “Finit-a-iives” NEWBURGH, ONT., Feb. 12th. 1910. . 'JUSt 311303“ a year ago, our daughter Ella (fourteen years), was taken with ternble pains 1n the nght side. The pain was so severe that we had to carry her go bed. We at once put her under the care of a first-class doctor, who pronounced at a go'se‘ot fkgpendzcnis and advised an operation. . We took her to a hospital-inVKiIigston where she was again examined by an eminent specxalist He said she had Appendicitis and must be operated on at once 2/ we wanted to sazxe lzer life. As we had taken her to Kingston to have this done we were ready but our daughter was afraid and cried and begged SO pitifully, that we postponed it for that day. Luckily for us and for her an uncle came in with some ‘Iiruit-a-tives’ and insisted on Ella taking them. Good results were apparent almost from the first dose, and the continuous treatment cured her.
