The jaunt' hat lias given a great impetus to even' novelty in the shape of feathers for "decorating it. First the pheasant plume was introduced as an ornament for hats; then fol lowed the ptarmigan, peacock, tro gon, impoyan and argus pheasants, ibis, heron, sea gull, black cock and owl, and now almost every variety of plumage may be seen in the hats of ladies and children. According to scarcity and fashion, some kinds of feathers occasionally command a fabulous price. Tims certain sorts for hats have reached $40 to $G0 the pound weight. Telican feathers, fromtheirsoft.velvetyappearanceand their taking dyestcadily, are in much leqttest; .sonic thoeof the flamingo, and what arc known in commerce as long and short osprey, which included the much prized hort egret. These ; feathers range in price from .$4 to $1G j the ounce, according to the whiteness I of color. A new and very pretty or I uamental nuplicatiou of bird .skins is i th.it of the entire head and plumage I of some jhowy bird for fans nnd fire ! screens; nnd the brilliant little heads ol the humming bird family hand somely mounted on necklets, ear pen dants, biooches, etc., form a novel species of bird jewelry. The elegance of the" feathers of the Ostrich, arising from the slender stems nnd graceful barbulcs, has caused them to be prized in all ages. They are the deaie.stnnd most sought after of any feathers in consequence of their lincness nnd elasticity, being employed for court plumes anil head dresses, as well as the nodding plumes on the lieaivc Their value is enhanced because they can always be changed, dyed and remade into larger and richer plumes by patience and assiduity in the attachment. Ostrich feathers in commerce are classed in the following order ns regard value: First those coming from Albgadorc; second, those from Hgypt and l?ar bary, and third, the South African feathers. These are long and there fore esteemed for many purposes, but have not the delicacy nnd elegance of the barbulc- of the North African feathers. The Aleppo feather used to be considered the type of perfec tion of ostrich feathers, but the' are now so scarce as seldom to be met with in commerce. For the bows or tail feathers of the ostrich there is, an enormous demand and perhaps more of this kind are sold than any other. Northern and Southern Africa arc the quarters from whence supplies are obtained. There are feather merchants in Mogadons and other liarbarc, States who arc in communication wall all the districts of the desctt where the bird is found. The price of ostrich feathers in n series of years taking into account quality ami demand ranges from 45 to $200 the pound weight, but their iirfct cost is oi cour.se much lower. Vulture plumes, as they are called in trade, are employed in large quan tities in this country and form the moot important branch of the com merce in feathers. They arc obtained from the American ostrich (Rhea Amcricana;, which inhabits chiefly the pampas ami vast plains of Pata gonia, tiie Argentine Confederation and the adjoining republics. It is smaller than the true African ostrich, is Avithout a tail and the feathers are not of the sime rich and costly kind. The Patagonions and Indians make plumes, parasols nnd many beautiful ornaments of them. The trade in cock's feathers is very important. In commerce they are classed into sev eral kinds, the saddle and the hackle feathers being especially in demand. Large white, of a pure color, bring $2 to $G the pound. They are used for parures, military plumes and feather brushes Feather flowers are not so much prized now, owing to the great beauty and cheapness of the common attificial flowers. Thcv are chiefly made at Jladeria and in Brazil; the latter are the best and bring a higher price. AtBahia the Solidade Con vent is the great locale where they are made. Feather-work trimming is often applied w ith pretty effect to the borders and fringes of grass ham mocks. Examples of these, with the representation of the arms of Portu gal and Brazil, were shown at the Philadelphia Inhibition. Goose feathers for ornaments arc obtained from all countries. Thev form in this country a considerable article of commerce; the best are used for head-dresses and the bad quality for plumes. In France a large quantity of goose skins are pre pared for winter garments. They strip the entire skin from the bird, leaving merely the raw carcass, which, rolled in paper, is sold for cooking. Many persons buy geese with the condition attached of return ing tne skin to the vender. The diffi culty of separating the skin from the flesh prevents many countries from preserving it. From the prepared downy skm a great quantity of ladies' powder pufis are also made, an arti cle with which France supplies the world. Swan skins are employed for much the same as goose skins, espe cially for trimmings to n xntlcs and dresses; but they arc getting more scarce, as they can only be obtained during the migration of birds. Peacock's feathers are obtained in many of the collectorates of the Mad ras Presidency, the gorgeous plumage being shed every year. Fly flappers or fanning brushes are made of them in India. Permission to wear the peacock's feather in the hat in' irta is like the European orders, only granted by sjiecial permission of the sovereign! The feathers of the gold and silver pheasants are much used for making artificial flies for anglers and ornamental work generally. The buds of paradise, distinguished for their splendor and elegance, are used for ornainentin- turbans in the Fast, as well as for hats and head-dresses by European and American ladies. The genus Paraditea is chiefly re stricted to New Guinea and the s'tnall islands in its vicinity. The most elegant in its plumage is the great bird of paradise (P. apoda), the best part of the neck being of a pale gold color. The hen birds are the most esteemed, being brighter in tint; the body feathers, which are yellowish, are partially dyed to en hance the color. The most splendid bird of tropical America is the trogoi virdis or splendens. Aside from J.' sniliant metaltc pplendor ot its plumage and the graceful nes of it- foim, there is a peculiar interest con nected with this magnificent bird. The long, slender, gilded feathers nf the tail were allowed only to be worn by the families of Incas. The Ineas, with all their gorgeous magnificence, have passed away, and the nice of the red men which venerated them is fast following, but the bird whose plumes decked their diadems shines brilliant as ever. Eagles' wings nnd tails fetch a high price in the Kurlie Islands, being bought by the Russians. The feath ers are used by the Japanese for their arrows. The brown and chocolate colored wing and tail feathers of the golden eagle are used in the bonnets of the Scotch clans nnd by Zulu chieftains in Southeast Africa. Her ons' feathers are a symbol of rank ill Turkey. The Sultnii wears three in his turban, the Grand Yisier two nnd the other public ollicers one. The herons, as a whole, are the most beautiful of all the waders nnd not so much from the color of their plumage as from the elegant crests nnd pro longed feathers which ornament near ly all the pccics. Old writings speak of feathers being woven into a pecul iar kind of cloth by the Chinese. Among them wa the Celestial goo-e velvet, the foundation of the fabric being of silk, into which the feathers were skilfullv interwoven in a com mon loom, those of a crimson huo being the most expensive. Dreamed of Drcatnlug- the Truth. Francis Meeks, a negro boy, 18 years of age, died suddenly Saturday night at his parents' home on Rock street, Atlanta. The death was a sudden one, and was investigated by Coroner Ilaynes. During the night the boy's mother dreamed that ite was dead, and awoke to find her dream true. The boy had been complaining for some time past, and has not been out a great deal for several weeks. Saturday night the boy sat around the fireplace talking with the family until bed-time, when he retired. Sometime during the night the bov's mother dreamed that her sou was dead. The dream was startling in its details, and from it the mother awoke with a heavy heart. As soon as she awoke, however, she realized that it was a dream and turn ing over went to sleep again. Again she dreamed that the boy was dead. She dreamed that the boy had gone to bed talking of the morrow and that she had subsequently retired and dreamed that her boy was dead and awoke to find the dream true. The dream again awoke the woman. She was bathed in perspiration. So real and life-like was the dream that the woman in her sleep had gone through the agony consequent upon the actual death of her son. The dream both ered her so much that she raised her self upon her elbow and called eut: "Francis, Francis, Francis, my son, are you alive?" No ans'wer came from the bed on which the boy was resting in another part of the room, and again the mother cried out, this time louder than before : "Francis, Francis, my son, why don't you answer me?" The calling awoke the woman's husband, who asked : "Old lady, what's the matter with you? "Why don't you go to sleep?" "Oh, I had such an awful, awful dream. I dreamed that Francis was dead, and awoke to find it true. I have called him, but he won't an swer." "And I was dreaming the same thing as vou woke." said the hus band, as he began crawling out of bed. Out of bed, the husband made a light and walking across the room to the bed in which tho boy slept, threw back the cover, and gave the boy a shake. There was no response. The touch even convinced the father that the boy was dead, and turning to his wife, he said : "Wife, we have both dreamed the truth : Francis is dead." And he was dead. When the par ents retired he was asleep. When they awoke he was dead. When he died no one knows. His death was an easy one. The bedding was not disturbed in any way. The boy's features were even, and the indica tions were that his spirit took its flight while he was asleep. . The evi dence showed the boy had been suf fering with consumption. A man who gazes at a red sun set has a golden prospect before him. So has a man who uses Bed Star Cough Cure, the prospect of soon finding his lungs as strong as ever. SiMi.nrTs CnitK will immediately relieve Croup, Whooping Cough, and Bronchitis. Sold by W. E. Dement it Co Tho Tool Friend. - But what shall we do with the warm, personal friend who sets up nights to love u. but hurts us in every corner by his indiscretion? We can not whip him and throw him away. We cannot et him shut up in an in sane asylum, lieeause the asylum was not designed for idiots. It was made for people who once had brains. It is aconumdrum which more than one of us has given up. If the fool friend could have his jaws locked with a time-lock, nnd then fed by an atten dant though the vest-pocket, wo could then .set the time-lock to open after election or jtM before brc tkfast on the day of judgment, or at .such other date as we desired, nnd all would be well, but ou cannot do that. The jaw of the fool friend wags on and on till the uon-H." of the one he loves best on earth i cooked to a rich, deep brown. An enemy may say mean things of you. but they losu force because people know at one by his bitterness that he is your ene my, but he wiio know-; our inmo-t heart, who know.- what salary you receive and how much it lacks ol maintaining you, how mean you arc in your family and how pleasant you are in other people's families,' how you smile through the day and snore through the night, how earnest you arc in your labors toward reform in everything except your own habits, and a thousand other little gliinpes into your home life which none but a friend may know, when he has no brains to balance his warm ailection f jr you, think what ruin he can fur nish vou at car-load rates.
