follows, namely:
Judging from my Owl experience,
it is a first-class remedy to restore
the nervous system when broken
down or impaired from oVerwork of
mind or body, revivifying the ener-
gies. 1t strengthens the digestive
powers and lures costiveness; truly
it is a great nerve tonic, a good alter

for the kidneys and the blood, renews
vitality, and restores strength. 1t
surpasses anything I have ever used
as a health renewer, a strength giver,
and system regulator. 1t quiets weak
nerves, gives better rest, increases
both appetite and digestion, and brings
back lost power of balmy sleep, ma
lures sweet restorer.

TOM MooRe's FIRST SWEETHEART.
She Wa the Heroine Of His 'Mary. I h
loved The0 True

h Wa tho Heroine Of His "MaFy. I BE-
loved Thee True"
To the present generation the name
ofMary Diff is known only by tradition
and by Moore's poem, says Edward Box
In The Ladies' Home Journal. Yet her
career reads like q romance. It was in
London that she was born, in 1894. Her
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
When she was scarcely 10, she was
known far and wide as one Of the most
beautiful girls Of the nei9hborhood. Her
poverty led her to adopt tho stage as o
profession, and she and her two SIS
tiers. also Of great beauty, became dan
GERS at the Dublin theater. where their
singular grace, comeliness Of face and
person attracted immediate attention
aud admiration. Whenever the Dyke
sisters appeared, the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to be the
favorite Of the trio.
1t was the fashion Of tho time at Kill
kenny for gentleman amateurs to give
annual public performances for the ben
eft Of the poor Of the city, and 1t was
IN one Of these occasions, when the as
sistance Of professional ladies from Dub
lin was invoked, that Thomas Moore,
the Irish poet, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and immediately found himself
~passionately in love with her. It was in
the play, Fortunes Frolic," that Tom
Moore p~ersonated Robin Roughhead and
Mary Dyke Nancy.
The Irish poet became Mary Dykes
very shadow, and after awhile no pour
ed forth his great love for her and Offer
ed her his hand and heart. But. for
some reason, the beautiful Mary did not
reciprocate the wealth Of affection thus
offered her. and she rejected him. It
was this which led Moore to return to
his room, and in the midnight hour pen
his celebrated love song, beginning

RETAIL BIRD DEALERS.
Extensive Trade Carried on In New York
Almost kxciusively by Germans.

Almost ExciusiSely by Germans.
New York city's extensive trade in
singing birds is carried on almost OK
clusively by Germans. Not only have
they q virtual monopoly Of this very
profitable business, but. furthermore, a
very large part Of tho bird i~mportations
come from Germany direct. The trade
is chiefly with southern Germany. The
most plausible explanation Of the prom
inence of Germans in this business Is the
fact that, above all other qualities, il
requires patience and kindness, two at
tributes in which Germans, and especial
ly German women, excel.
There is in New York q very largo
trade in canary birds, and during the
period when u larger share OF the ma
TONS was carried on In sail
ing ships than is the case now parrots
and cockatoos were dealt in extensively,
though nowadays they have somewhat
gone out Of vogue. Much care is neces-
sary in the business Of looking after
birds, for they are subject to many all
ments which must constantly bo pro-
vided against, and without the exercise
Of great care the entire stock Of the
dealer might be swept away in q short
time. The retail bird business does not
require q very large capital. The loss Of
birds by illness is the chief danger to be
provided against, not the indifference Of
purchasers, for these are never lacking
in New York. The ordinary price Of q
singing canary is from 81. 80 to %. rs.
The age attained by birds varies con-
siderably-from 8 to 100 years-these
being the maximum ages: Wren, 3
years; thrush, 10; robin, 10; blackbird,
10; goldfnch, Is; partridge, 10; pleas
ant, 10; lark, 10; nightingale. 10; pi-
geon, 30; linnet, 90; canary, "a; Crane.
"a; peacock, "a; sparrow, 40; pelican,
so; parrot, 60; crow, swan and eagle,
100 years. There is much less demand
for birds for pathological displays in
museums in tho United States than in
Europe, and n reason given in ex.
PLANTATION Of this is the fact that the
museums Of most European capitals are
maintained at the public expense, with
out private contributions or the need
Of any, whereas in the United States
the appropriations for m~enagerie and
museum purposes are, generally speak
ing, inadequate and have to be eked out
by private contributions. The annual
appropriation for the menagerie in Gen.
trail park, including necessary repairs to
the buildings, is only $50. 600. Many of
the animals in the park, and some Of
the birds, are lent by private individ-
uals. What il true OF New York city In
this regard 10 substantially true Of the
other big cities of the United States,
and 80 the market for rare birds rests
chiefly upon the purchases Of private in.
