Imported SOngsterS.

elf there were not plenty of bird
fanciers our us ness would be of little
account" sa d well-known importer
of all kinds of rds 10 a Grdp4ic re-
porter to-day. "We do quiet trade,
but !ew people have any correct idea of
the extent of the business dur NO the
year. 1t is not confined to any particu-
lar specie, but to ALL the canaries, of
course. taking the lead for the number
of sales. but not in value"
"How many birds are imported dur
ing the year. do you suppose"
That is hard 10 say, taking in all the
dea ers. We imported, however. over
$1,000 canar'es alone last year, and that
is no mean figure. Most of them were
sent from Germany. Then we had fully
five or six thousand European wild
rds. The best canaries come from st.
Andreasberg, in the Hartz Mountains,
where the BIRDS, when very Young. are
placed in a room apart from all singing
canar es, but within hearing distan of
an English nightingale or lark. In tn S
way the Young canaries learn their
peculiar soft and attractive notes"
"What do they sell for?"
"Much depends upon the demand
and the time of the year. Singing can
aries will sell as low as 81 and go as
high as Sl2 apiece. Those which have
been taught a tune sometimes bring as
much as $50 and SO each, as it is very
difficult to teach them.
"How many do we dispose of in a
week? Well, you may think I'm joking,
but 1 am not. We get rid on an aver
age of about 1000 week. BY this
mean to dealers, who buy direct from
the importers. When we get the birds
they are always very young. Our Gus.
toners do not care ior old birds. They
are brought over by the steamers in the
little wooden cages, as YOU see, man
always being sent with them specially
to care for their wants. AS soon as
they get to their destination we find any
number of purchasers from this city to
San Francisco. To those men we make
an average charge of about S25 to S27
per dozen The price, however, will
90 up until the end OF next month.
Then the birds are strong and healthy.
The moulting season begins about
April.
What other species of birds are i'm
porte ip"
'.All kinds. We have the nightingales.
goldfnches, English robins, parrots
and paro uets. larks. starlings and the
famous English thrush. Bullfnches
are taught to whistle before they are
put on the market. but parrots are very
seldom taught to speak by the dealers
themselves This little pastime is left
for the purchasers. sThe parro. trade is
largely increasing. The price. too, is

rivals compared with past years. An
ordinary green Cuban parrot is worth
from So TO ss, while the MeSicans with
the pretty yellow heads will 90 as high
as $50 to $40 apiece.
"Outside of these you must take in
the mocking birl. A good and we'll
trained mocking bird will realize fr, m
$50 to S35. They come from Virginia
and other Southern States. Some of
these birds will whistle as many as eight
or ten tunes. AS songsters, the lark,
the chaffinch, goldfinch and nightingale
come in for their share of public atten-
ton, and are often to be met in the par
lors of the best families. A good and
brilliant colored African or an Austral-
ian paroquet can always find good
market, and almost any fancy price can
be demanded if party of means wants
to be purchaser. There is no reason
for anticipating decline in the price
of birds or in number this season. u

Ignorance in the Republic.

We have always supposed ourselves
to G q well-educated Nation, but Com
miss oner Eaton has recently warned us
not TO lay too much of this flattering
JUNCTION to our souls. II we are, indeed.
an educated people it is not more a
matter of pride than necessity, and if
we lack educational advantages we are
simply packing dynamite in our ware
house, forgetful of future possibilities.
Bismarck 5 theory of political economy
is that the State should make the people.
but our theory is that the people should
MAKE the State. Republicanism de-
pends for its perpetuity solely on the
ability of the masses to think. When
they cease to think republ canism ceases
to exist, and ust in proporto on to their
ability to indulge in the luxury of per-
sonal convictions is our Government
strong or weak An illiterate peasantry
need ruler and a standing army, but
graduates from common schools can
rule themselves and allow the army to
range over the Western prarieS in
search of Indians.
1t is not only interesting but also sug
gestive to once in while glance at GER
tain gr m and prophetic statistics. As
a general rule they are extra drv,"
but they are frequently stern in the les
sons they teach. As the engineer must
needs keep sharp eve on the steam
gauge, because both speed and safety
are thereby indicated, so must the
American peop'e jealousy watch the
ma, hinery of education. When they
become conscious of any relaxation of
effort or any want of eific 'encv in this
direction they recognize an immediate
and an imperative duty. If we are told
that in this country there are five mill
ion children of school age who never
attend school, and that il our cites
two tlths of the children OF school age
never go to school, we put on ourthink
ing caps and wonder what it all means
and what is the logica! consequence of
the fact. We can afford to have parties
go to pieces if that is their deliberate
wish, because the pieces will be
put together again n a bet
ter shape; we can afford to have
certa n monopoIstS 90 on in their
mad career, because theY are sure to
discover the end of their tether by
sudden jerk some day, but the one
thing we can not a ord is to have mill
ions of children grow up in ignorance
There should be no law in the land so
imperative as that which compcls our
youth, at any sacrifice, at all hazards,
to know how to read and write. 1t is
our supreme business to demand thus

A Round Million.

The Binghamton IN. W NewS is re-
sponsible for the statement that a new
electric machine has been inven ed and
patented by young man named Ell
mer Sperry, a resident of Cortland,
which is thought by good judges to
meet the requirements of the times to
such degree that he has secured the
sum of 1000, 900 for his share in it
from interested parties in Chicago.
While at work upon it bringing it to
perfection his pecuniary necessities
obliged him to seek aid fiom couple
of Cortland's well-known capitalists,
but in this he failed. Not to be discour-
aged and with the undaunted pluck of
an inventor, he subsequently sec red
the desired aid of the Cortland Wagon
Company, member of which firm fur
nished him with the necessary means to
go on with his. invention until he
brought it to that degree of per 'ection
that he could privately exhibit it and
apply for a patent. Shortly therea ter
the inventor took his electric ma hine
to Syracuse, and put into the hands of
some parties to test and examine it.
They were so well satisfied with its
workings that they offered him $780,
600 for his right therein. He left the
machine with these parties for some
time for their test and examination,
which eventuated in the offer above
named, but which was not accepted
The new electric machine is said to be
simple and unlike anything else We.
brought forth in this direction, and it is
thought it may supersede, or at least
prove a very powerful and effective
rival to all the other electric machines
thus far in use, The inventor began
work on it when he was but twenty
years of age, and, being now in his
twenty third year. he has brought his
work TO such state of complet on in
three short years that parties in Chica-
go, to whom he has shown it. and who
at once became interested in il, have
offered 81, 900. 600 for the patent, which
has been accepted. The young man.
we are told, is an orphan, and poor;
but his fortune and name are now
made. on all of which we heartily con-
gratulate him.
