I am afraid tt speak of it to you, and for that reason ] write. Pardon thu liberty. Believe me sir, I am an honest man, and not a genu ine thief. I have not always been the poor wretch 1 am now. In times past I was <piiu well off. I was by no means the richest man in Sotgas when I married Dilonne, but I wa* certainly the one most in love. She was so pretty ! More than ono gentleman envied me on our wedding dav We were very happy. Every evening when I came home, tired with the day's work, iu*t to sec her smile seemed to rest me. A little girl, beautiful as the angels, fame to crown our happiness.

One method la to clip the barbe from the feather* with ordinary scissors, patting them Into a bag and kneading them f<jr awhile. As a result they are transformed into a mass of rery light and homogeneous down. Thus prepared they arq manufactured into felt by the same processes as are ap plied to wool. One pouid end e belf of feathers make one equate yard of a fabric which is warm, light and durable and will take any dye. By wearing the feather down with cottoe or woolen yarn ? soft and beautiful cloth is produced, with a feather 'fur' on both sides. "The most expensive down, utilised for making quilts and pillows, Is obtained from the eider duck. In Norway and Iceland the business of gatherta| it constitutes a regular farming indiawy. The pursuit is very remaoeratire, and it is governed by special legislation respecting the collecting of the crop on islands of the sea and along the margins of estuaries. These birds are found' throughout the waters of the Arctic Ocean, and they resort in great numbers vearly for breeding purposes to Nova Zembla, Spitsbergen, Lapland, Greenland, Labrador and other far northern shores. Sometimes they appear on the coast of Maine and even at far south as Massachusetts Bay, but tbe down yielded in such low latitudes is inferior in quality. "One of the sights of Norway Is an 9land that is one great rock rising out >f the sea between Tronso and Hammerest. The nests of eider dncks are so hick upon it that its entire sutface icems to be occupied by them, each one containing at the breeding season its complement of young onos. Ro closely io the nosts imitate the gray tint of the ock that one would not notice them tavc for the countless heads of the birds ooklog out of them. When a steamer toes by tho custom is to lire a small canlon, which so frightens the birds that ill those that can fly rise into the air srith a mighty whirr of wings, literally larkening the sky with their myriads, vhile tho nestlings squawk pitifully in horus. "The nest building is done in May aud ast3 about seven weoks. From four to ix eggs are laid, the nest being lined vith down plucked by the mother duck rom her own breast. Those who purue the business described remove tho ggs and down, whereupon further supilies of the latter are furnished by the naternal bird, which lays a second clutch' of eggs. These are removed to;ether with the down, as before and a ike robbery is committed a third time, titer this theft has been accomplished hrice the drake contributes down from lis own body and more eggs are laid; >ut if these lust are stolen the birds in-ariably give it up and fly away. One test is ma'bj in this manner to supply luring each season about three ounces if dirty-looking brown down. That vhich the male supplies is somewhat vhiter. "The down, after being gathered, is eparated into different qualities and oughly cleaned, the process resulting in , loss of about one-half its original veight. It is then sewn in small bags or export, the best being worth $5 a >ound where it is collected. The down ibtained from dead birds, not being ilastic, is of small value comparatively, ling ducks, which are vastly abundant in the coasts ot Spitzbergen, Qreenland md Newfoundland, yield a soft down hat is almost equal to that of the eider 1 1- I__ / A lL: l.li J A J _ iuck. in inut mis inner prouuct is rrdinarily sold under the name of eiderlown. Ho wonderfully litjlit is the real irticle that a pound and a half of it 19 nough for a large bed quilt. Cheap ubstitutes are very much heavier. "Few people have any notion of the mormous value of the feathers yielded innually by domestic poultry. In Europe especially cue farmers' wives make 1 business of collecting and selling the plumage of chickens, geese and ducks. V machine has been devised which ducks dead fowl at the rate of two a ninute. The bird is laid on a tabic and i wheel bearing India rubber pickers ackles it, the pickers pinching whatever they meet as they pass across the op of the table and releasing what they lold as they puss beneath.
