If American women would forget vivisection and turn their attention to the preservation of bird life, they would stop that terrible slaughter of American birds that is con- stantly going on inside of three months.

IIE REMUNERATION which our distinguished ex-First Citizen is to receive for his articles on African conditions is stated to be at the rate of one dollar a word. To those unfamiliar with the requirements of his undertaking this appears to be an enormous of compensation, and perhaps it is for words like “* it," “ me,"” one ia,” was,’’ ** has,’’ ** been, and,”’ ** sure. But it has always been a peculiarity of the distinguished Nimrod in question that such insignificant, not to say commonplace, words aa these have been merely incidental to the larger concepts of his mind, and that, as am his literary lucubrations have scintillated with more intrinsically valuable specimens of our English terminology. No editor worthy of the title would object to paying from fifty cents to a dollar apiece for such ringing and unusual words as meticulous, malevolent, articulate, or invertebrate. This being #80, why is it to be wondered at that a series of articles requiring the abundant, not to xay redundant, use of such arduously spelled terms as macropus ualabatus, mammalia africana, uptonia sinclairesis, simia satyrus, sicilia similibus, semnopithecus larvatus, or orycteropus cadensis, should be paid for at so high a rate? We could not ourselves afford the time to write such words as cynocephalus or megalomania oyster- bariensis for less than two dollars and a half apiece, and so we do not think, after all, that, considering an author has been President of the United States almost twice, he is overpaid if he averages a dollar a word for using language ranging all the way from hippotraginae down to the first personal pro- noun, or vice versa, [7 1S seat deal better to have the bath-tub dis- agree with a boy than to have the mirror agree with him.
