Ecuador, in South America, Abounds
With "Feathered Jewels."
Not far from the northwest corner
of South America is the small tri-
angular republic of Ecuador. It comes
pretty near to being the least import-
ant country in that continent, but In
one respect it is the most remark-
able. Nowhere else in the world are
there so many humming birds.
Humming birds mostly prefer high
altitudes, and some of them are
found nowhere else than along a belt
of the Andes close to the snow line.
Certain species are restricted to
single mountain peaks.
The Indians of Ecuador, Colombia
and Brazil make profitable business
of hunting humming birds, shooting
them with small pellets of clay dis-
charged from "blowguns." These lat-
ter are weapons of great precision—
long reeds deprived of pith—and do
no damage to the delicate plumage
of the tiny feathered creatures.
It is necessary for the hunter to
know how to skin the birds; and he
must understand the art of preserv-
ing the skins in order that they may
reach the dealer in first class condi-
tion. They are sold to agents, who
ship them to Guayaquil and other sea-
ports, where they are exported to
Europe.
London is the principal market, and
in that city 400,000 humming bird
skins have been sold at auction in
a single week. But they are mostly

This Will Help You to Choose
Pictures.
In a dining room the pictures
should be conducive to happy
thoughts. Cheap pictures and pic-
tures of wooden, looking fruit are not
effective. Appropr'ate pictures for
the dining room are "Spring," by Cor-
ot; "Autumn," by Mauve, "The
Fort!," by. Corot, and "Autumn Gold,'
by Inness..
Pictures of general :interest are
appropriate for the living room. Here
they should be conducive to deeper
thought. Such as Burne -Jones' "Gol-
den Stair,"` and "Spies," Titian's
"Tribute Money," and Van Ruysdael's
"Windmill" are desirable. Many of

. They are unlike any other birds in
several respects.' Their mode of flight
is like that of a bee, their wings vi-
brating so rapidly (the rate is esti-
mated at 500 times per minute) as
to make a blur to the eye. Practical-
ly, they are unable to ,walk, relying
wholly upon their :wings for locomo-
tion. •
Their nests , are built chiefly of
plantdawn, interwoven and strength -

birds fasten their nests to the encu
