The rhea, however, it has finally been proved. Is a wild bird, and as the
demand for its plumes threatened Its extinction, tha bird protectors took bold
of the matter and hereafter under a ruling Just made by tba :reasury depart-
ment no rhea plumes can be Imported.
It Is said that the decision will be felt heavily by the manufacturer* of
fMther duster*, who are said to be dependent on these plume* for a *upply
of proper material for the goods w hich they make.
In the controversy over the rhea many scientists gave their evidence. Dr ,
Frank M. Chapman, who Is the curator of ornithology in the American
Museum of Natural History, New York city, turned the scale so as to save
the rhea from extinction by telling the treasury officials that "the rhea I*
no more an ostrich than the duck Is a chicken; and, in fact, the duck and
chicken are more closely akin."

Canes of the World Shown in National Museum
An UNUSUALLY fine collection of canes or walking sticks, representing
some forty-five foreign countries and twenty-one states of this country,
figures among the historical exhibits of the United States National Museum
at Washington. The greater portion
of this series comprises a collection of
152 pieces bequeathed to the United
States by the late Homer N. Lock-
wood of Washington, traveler, geog-
rapher, engineer and statesman.
Forty different kinds of wooden
' canes are on exhibition, as well as
canes made of Ivory, bone, horn, skin,
paper, tin, wire and other substances.
Many of the specimens are very artis-
tic, some are of curious shape and de
sign, while others, designed for spe-
cial purposes, Include, an emergency cane, containing a whisky flask; a
sketching handle; match safe canes; mountain climbing canes, with sharp
6piked ferrules; an officers' "swagger stick," and sword and gun cane* of vari-
ous types.

ful.
Cut up the meat Into small pieces,
add the salt and cold water and allow
to stand for at least half an hour to
draw out the juices of the meat.
Bring slowly to the boil, and when
the scum begins to rise add a table-
spoonful of cold water; skim carefully
and allow to boil gently for five min-
utes.
Cut the onions, carrot and turnip In
halves and add them to the liquid, first
drawing the saucepan to one side, so
as to keep the contents simmering, not
boiling. After simmering for five
hours strain off and allow to get cold.
Tamale Pie.
Take one pound of hamburg steak,
or left-over meat, cut fine and add one
level cupful of seeded raisins, one doz-
en stoned olives, salt, pepper and red
pepper to taste. Stew until tender and

One interesting theory is that the Roman cane derived its name from

use it in their personal quarrels, with disastrous results, and because too
many dead dogs littered the streets. An imperial edict, issued to relieve
this state of affairs, forbade all except those of patrician rank from carrying
canes, thus making it a privilege. The ladles of this time carried them also;
