Poultry and Live Stock 
Department. 
While we have been filling orders for 
eggs for several years, we find that they 
do not bear transportation with safety and 
satisfaction, hence we advise our. cus- 
tomers and friends to order poultry in- 
“stead. In the event that eggs are ordered, 
we want it fully understood that we are 
not responsible for the eggs after they 
leave our establishment as to unfertility 
due to transportation.

ANGORA CATS AND KITTENS. 
The possession of an Angora Cat has 
become a fad, particularly in fashionable 
circles, and you will not wonder when you 
have made the acquaintance of a beautiful 
affectionate Angora Cat. The hair is long, 
soft and silky, and their tails are*»used 
very gracefully, and express emotions as 
plainly as words. When displeased, the 
tail is swayed from side to side in a man- 
ner, the meaning of which cannot be mis- 
taken. The eyes are large, playful and full 
of expression. The animals are beautifully 
formed and are considerably longer than 
the ordinary cat. They are wonderful 
jumpers, very inquisitive, and want to un- 
derstand everything that is going on. They 
are affectionate and loving, very graceful, 
and have most charming manners and dis- 
positions, unusual intelligence, and, as

PEACOCKS. 
Pea-Fowi. (Lat. Pavo.) 
This magnificent bird is not a native of 
this country, but has been domesticated in 
The gorgeous 
plumes that adorn the Peacock do not com- 
pose the tail, as many suppose, but are only 
tail coverts. The tail feathers themselves 
are short and rigid and serve to keep the 
train spread, aS may be seen when the bird 
walks about in all the majesty of his ex- 
panded plumage. No collection of: Poultry 
is complete without one of these magnifi- 
cent birds. Price, $20.00 per pair; Cocks,
