ANN ARBOR,
In Africa men enter the inclosures
and run down the birds which are
ready to be plucked, which is not only
an arduous task, but attended with
great danger, for one stroke from an
ostrich's wing will fell a man, and the
kick sometimes results fatally. In this
country, however, writes Mrs. S. R.
Blackburn in the Globe-Democrat, the
bird to be robbed of his gay feathers is
coaxed into a small iuclosure. Once
in the pen, a "stocking" is placed over
his head, and he becomes comparatively tractable. The young birds, which
are much more docile, are caught in
their paddock while eating, and plucked
in the same way. The keepers insist
that it does not hurt the birds to take
the feathers, but they make a distressing fuss about it notwithstanding.
When 1 asked if the feathers would not
fall out naturally, I was told that they
would, but that the feathers shed possessed no life, and would not do for
commerce. Twice a year, usually, the
birds are plucked, though some 'keepers deem once in eight months better.
The ostriches have their seasons of
gaiety. One of their modes of ainuse-
iuent"is what one keeper styled "waltzing." An old bird leads off by raising
his wings and beginning to whirl, the
same time moving around his pen, taking his steps with some degree Of regularity. Soon another follows, and in a
few seconds inauy or all the birds in
the inclosure are in motion. They are
not indifferent to time, and just before
plucking the picture of thirty birds
waltzing is a beautiful sight.
If the ostrich lives to the advanced
age genei.illy supposed the baby
ostuches which I saw will soon be
furnishing feathers worth $175 to ^OO
a pound, aud will jield at each plucking *?200 to f?250 woith of featheis. I
may •.■.e.ir then featheis, aud my

The most blood - curdlingly cruel
thing that has yet come under my observation is the manner in which are
obtained the so-called "pig-skins" that
so commonly serve for bottles and
casks. They are not the hides of pigs,
but those of" sheep, and, horrible to relate, are pulled off the living animal,
the poor sheep being actually skinned
alive? • or, more correctly speaking,
skinned dead, for, of course, he does
not long survive the operation. The
modus operandi is as follows: *
The beasts are driven, one by one,
to the "appointed place and (irmly tied
to a stake. Then the hide is neatly cut
around the neck and down the middle,
without touching the ilesli or severing
the arteries or hurting the animal
much; after which hooks are fastened
into the loosed skin, a rope beiug attached to each hook; strong men take
firm grip on the ropes and pull backward, pulliug aud pulling, until the
hide is torn off clean to the tail. It is
said that during this frightful torture
the erics of the~poor sheep are almost
human iu their expressions of agony,
and that the bloody, quivering mass
sometimes lives several miuutes. Tho
only excuse for the barbarous practice
is that the skius are much more flexible
and durable when thus taken off alive
than when the animals are dead.—

A "young woman of Athens, Ga., detects the presence iusiautly of any-
feline that enters the room wliere she
is. She need not see or hear the
animal wheu it enters, but has intimation of its disagreeable presence by
strange sensations that She invariably
experiences when she is brought into
contact witli a cat, and she entertains
an unconquerable repugnance to these
animals.

Sacklsn's Arnica Salve.
An Englishman who was at one time
an officer iu the British navy, said recently that the people who were preparing to give Prince George such a
maguilicent reception at Newport
would, in all likelihood, meet with
something much in the order of a calm
and chilly rebuff. "Some of the writers for the women's magazine
aud the more impressionable society
journals," he said, "have grown into
the habit of late years of alluding to
Englaud's Sailor Prince with considerable affection. Prince George's reputation for cleverness and ability is not
alarmingly wide. He is not for au instant to be compared to his elder
brother, who, though addicted to
clothes of an extreme cut and blessed
with a supercilious look, is nevertheless a man of a good deal of ability and
importance. Prince Eddie, as he is
familiarly called, is the companion of
men of advanced years, plays a good
hand at whist, is a capital horseman,
aud a well-read Prince. His companionship is eagerly sought, and he is
credited with having a rather sharp
and saturnine wit. Prince George is,
however, nothing more nor less than a
genial, amiable, stupid English boy
of a type that is unfortunately very familiar at home. He is awkward and
ofteu diffideut, so that people who
think they have a great society light
and a famous Prince   to   entertain at
