The making of billiard cushions 10 an
important industry, but Is carried on
by two or three firms alone, and while
the story of the difficulty which has
been overcome in preventing the ball
from sinking into the rubber and thus
destroying the angle desired to be taken
is an interesting one 1t has been told
before and will not be repeated now.
In the early days of the industry the
manufacturer employed valve rubber
and obtained much better price for 1t
when 1t was worked up into the cush-
ion.
Then the cushion maker set his vita
20 work TO get the valve rubber cheap
ly. but in those days II was strongly
held, and none was allowed to pass to
that industry unless Il paid the en-
HANGED royalty. Finally the combina-
ton was broken by firm in Pittsburg
ordering the valve rubber osteusibiy for
ordinary use, but shipping II back to
New York for the intended purpose.
So skillfully an patiently was this
done that great quantity was accumu-
lated, and the valve rubber man threw
mp the sponge. Now billiard cushions
are made of nodded rubber, an evolu-
ton which came along later. Hard.

What enormous fellows and what
leviathan persons some OF these Swe-
dish men and women arei Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in Stockholm's streets.
The feature seems TO pervade all classes,
though 1t is not least striking among the
nobility. Six feet Is a common height
for man here, and really do not be-
heve | exaggerate in saying that men of
feet or inches are MS abundant in
Stockholm as men of feet with us.
Tho tailness of the women il Just an
noteworthy. You remark II less, how
ever, because they are SO well proper
toned. They say II il. easy to tell by
the size OF the boots outside the doors
which rooms Of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is very endur-
able hit Mt the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear skies or sevens in shoe
leather, no sculptor would find fault
with them on professional grounds.
Moreover. they have most winsome
compilations, and of course blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t Is comforting to know speak on
the evidence Of one of the pepsionnairas
that Swedish maidens have great
admiration for English bachelors. They
read French novels. but they believe In
English bridegrooms. The blood hoad
still exists, suppose, between them

lica In Small Town or Gaxsny.
In smali town called Ct. Andrsss-
berry tSaxony) some 700 families ara co.
tirely engaged in the task Of rearing
and educating good canary singers. a
great proportion Of these singers Is sent
broad. far or near TO London, to Aus
tralia and to the United States, where
one single firm ships 100, 600 birds each
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir, ~ they are called In
Germany, on account OF their notes.
These schreir. which are bough. from
20 to 80 cents In the Harx. are cold for
e., 81 or 81 I'm America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroller. A good hohlrollcr
cannot he had under IS or t10--in the
Harz---and $50 and $25 are no unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite number Of words, each of which
applies to different sort OF tune, or
intonation; the beulrolle Is in minor
key; klingeroile applies TO silver tones;
koller TO warbIing which reminds Of
the murmur of water, giuchrolle liz
similar to the nightingale's notes, and
one may say that every detail Of the
canary's song has been named, and that
for every oDe there Is standard of per-
lection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly well. The song Of all canaries
is not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points, and while the one Is
great ON beulrolle, for instance, il IL
weak on gluchrolle, while the case Is
reversed with another. race.
or course singing Is natural feature
with canaries, but the influence OF edu~
cation Is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins I'm May for the young
canaries, and they are. as soon as posi-
BILE, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some IS or 20 young canaries
are put in one cage with an older bird,
an especially good singer, and he teaches
them the elements. They try to initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
fuence. In August each of the young
birds Is put in a small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity OF the cage
of the teacher. At this time the fancier
tries TO gather some idea OF the prog
ress achieved and OF the aptitude of the
different birds The best are put In the
nearest vicinity OF the teacher. In or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth, so as to prevent them
from seeing what Is going ON around
them, and in order to encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped in
form Of a dome; this shape intensifies
the sound, and the birds are pleased
with their own music. Science
