Ostrich Plumes From Arabia

OSTRICH PLUMES FROM ARABIA

Miss Lorraine Milly of Geddes avenue, received Wednesday four magnificent white ostrich plumes, each two feet long. They were sent from Arabia by her brother, Harry Miller, he who has shouted the U. of M. yell in so many foreign ports. Mr. Miller says that the ostrich boa which costs $15 in America, can be bought for 12 shillings of our money in Arabia.

It is hot on the Red Sea, he writes, so hot that while sailing through, great precaution is taken to prevent prostration from heat. There is no vegetation on the shores, only high red sandstone cliffs, baked and barren.
