Cruel Fate of the Egrets.
Florida is rapidly losing its flocks of
herons. The white egret is being
slaughtered into extinction for the sake
of the beautiful white feathers on its
back, which, when plucked and placed
on a flinty-hearted woman's hat, become
an aigret.
The scale on which the massacre of
these beautiful birds is being carried on
is almost incredible. An idea of it may
be gained from the fact that one egret
will furnish only one sixth of an ounce
of plumage feathers, and yet at a public
sale in London less than a year ago more
than 11,000 ounces of osprey plumes were
offered for sale. This meant that more
than 66,000 egrets had been put to death
for the sake of their plumes, that some
fair dame might be more gayly deco.
rated.
The most lamentable feature of the
slaughter of the beautiful and innocent
birds is that the feathers grow at the
time when the egrets are nestling and
breeding. The best plumes are taken
from the upward tuft at the back, which
is developed at the breeding season,
though feathers are, of course, taken
from the wing and breast. They are
common to both sexes, and it is impossi
ble to distinguish between the male and
female. An egret is shot, the few
coveted feathers are torn from its back,
its body is left to rot on the ground and
the young ones perish of starvation.

The announcement made Iast'week
that Mr. W.D. Howells will contribute
a series of letters to Literature wiil be
taken as an indication that the manage
ment has decided to consult the tastes of
readers on this side of the Atlantic, in
devoting more space than formerly to
American books and American literary
topics; and a glance through recent
numbtrs of this periodical will show, as
corroborative evidence of the same ten
dency, a goodly number of familiar
titles. ThuB we find: "The Student's
Motley," edited by William Eliot Griffia;
John Fiske's "Old Virginia and Her
Neighbors;" "Historic New YorK" ed
ited by Maud Wilder Goodwin, Alio,
Carriogton Royce, and Ruth Putnam;
and "Men, Women and Manners in Co
lonial Times," by Sydney G. Fisher all
in a single number of Literature.
