AT COPENHAGEN.
a Description of DenmarlS's Charm
ing Capital.

The approach to Copenhagen from
the sea is picturesque. Situated on the
sound, Che water highway between the
Baltic and the North sea, it is covered
with hundreds of sail passing in and out
the great thoroughfare, which at Elsi-
more is not more than two and n quarter
miles in width. The entire shore be-
tween Copenhagen and Elsinore is made
accessible for fine road, along which
villages and villas are located, run close
by the sea, the distance being twenty five
or thirty miles. Upon this road is stu
ated Charlottenbund, a royal palace and
park, consisting of eighty acres, and the
Jagersborg Dore Have, or deer park,
of 4 200 acres, in the southern part of
which, upon some $500 acres of magnl-
ficent beech forests, vast herds of stays,
red deer and fallow deer may be seen
grazing in its glades or lying down I'M
der the welcome shade.
Copenhagen, although darting from
the twelfth century, wears, compare
lively speaking. modern aspect, owing
somewhat to the extensive fires that
have devastated it, for in l72S,
1,640, houses were destroyed
in 1895, $50, and in 1907, 905
were laid in ruins by the English bonn
bardment. The city consists of two
parts-Copenhagen proper. on the
island of Sealand, and Christianshavn,
on the island of Amager. The streets
are exceedingly we'll paved, and are
kept clean in way to put Boston to
shame The people are cheerful, and
appear to be occupied about their own
affairs, although courteous to the wants
of u stranger.
The cab service is excellent, and to
an American the charges judiciously
low, being for course in the city about
Is cents for each person, and by the
hour AZ cents. The cabs carry four
passengers, and are obliged to carry
tariff book in sight. Horse-cars traverse
the city in every direction, sporvel, or
stations, being established at conven-
lent points, between which the fare, III
ere. or about y cents, is paid, thus
making the cost of riding short dis
tances about half what is with us. Let
ter boxes about the city for the coilec-
ton of letters have an excellent ar
rangement in the form of dial, which
the postman collecting sets to the hour
when he next visits the box. The
postage of letters, without respect of
size and weight, within the city itself
and precincts" is about II cents.
The Scandinavians are fond of bath
ing. and the bath houses abound in
every direction. There being little or
no tide in the Baltic, permanent houses,
with every convenience for private or
public bathing are erected. Every
where the police regulations seem to be
perfect The cost of living is reason
able. Excellent rooms, with light and
attendance, can be had at the hotels for
So cents and upward per diem, the
European plan for board being unu-

Signs NJ Longevity

Lord Bacon, generally regarded rs
the keenest observer and profoundest
thinker who has appeared on this
planet, wrote much on longevity. His
signs of short life are quick growth,
flair, soft skin, soft, fine hair, early cor
'pulence, large head, short neck, small
mouth, fat ear, brittle, separated teeth.
Some of his signs of long life are slow
growth, hard, coarse hair. rough,
|freckled skin, deep burrows in the fore
head, firm flesh with veins lying high,
wide nostrils, large mouth, hard, gristly
lear, strong, contiguous teeth. He adds
that early gray hair is not significant,
some of the longest livers having
turned gray in early life.

Where the Singing Canaries Hail
From.

"Almost all the singing canaries in
Ethe world come from the Hartz noun
ltains, in central Germany" continued
Ethe bird fancier. Gas canaries acquire
ftheir singing qualities, and are not born
with them, and as for various reasons it
would hardly pay in America to raise
Sand drill canaries the way they do it
lover there, it is quite natural that this
peculiar industry is confined to
mountainous portion of Germany, where
RtAe soil is barren and where for more
than century generation after genera
ktion has used this as means to increase
their income, rather than to depend
tbn it solely. Americau-bred birds, for
want of proper training and tuition, are
Nardly ever good singers. The best
teed of canaries come from st. Andreas-
a lerg, a village in the Hartz. A practiced
1ar can immediately detect a bird of that
reed from among the Others We
haven't got this seasons lot yet,
T.nd we shall not have them until the
ind of November. They keep all their
Foung birds over there until they are
tble to sing perfectly, which happens
hvery year about this time. These St
Andreasberg canaries are higher in
price than any, but they are worth the
difference. They have such sweet, low,
Eurgling notes. such liquid trolls and
Fender. pretty snatches of song in their
eittlet hroats as no other birds. Who, do
Eou say? Why, because there in st. An
Hreasberg they have methods of their
Down and are in possession of some little
secrets in canary culture that other
kplaces do not possess. AS conse-
Huence the song of their birds is not
knly different, but they have actually
wider vocal range. OF course, this is
hll with a difference, too. Some cana
kries of this breed are not as good as
others, and the same is true of all the
sHartz birds.
| perhaps you are not aware of the
modus operandi pursued in the Hartz
n teaching the canaries to sing They
have what is known rs the regular
fbird organ'-a small box shaped like
hn ordinary organ and turned by a
brank mechanically. On this tunes are
played right early in the morning, and
Chen again Just before dusk in the
inning, and during this school time no
: .sher birds are allowed to be within
bearing of them. BY and by the birds
<Pick up single notes and thon snatches
fof song and mold them in their own
eittle heads into something new and
tanary-like Some more tricks and
lessons are made use of, and some Of
the Hartz fanciers and breeders are
better at this than Others and their
birds bring better prices"

Barbed Wire w. Fox Chasing.

So insidiously harmful has the use of
wire fencing-cspecially in patching
hedges-become in certain parts OF
\ireat Britain, that many hunts have set
lapart regular fund for replacing it
with something which may be seen and

to speak of any worse mischief, by

especially a cause Of complaint.
