T BIRD DEALERS.
Extensive Trade Carried on In New Yorh
Almost Exclusively by erman

Extensive Trade Carried on In New York
Almost Exclusively by Germans.
New York city's extensive trade in
singing birds is carried on almost ex-
clusively by Germans. Not only have
they a virtual monopoly Of this very
profitable business, but, furthermore, a
very large part Of the bird importations
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, it
requires patience and kindness, two at
tributes in which Germans, and especial
ly German women, excel.
There is in New York a very large
trade in canary birds, and during the
period when a larger share Of the ma
tion's commerce 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 be pro-
vided against, and without the exercise
Of great care the entire stock of the
dealer might be swept away in a short
time. The retail bird business does not
require a 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 a
singing canary is from 81. so to 81. IS.
The age attained by birds varies con-
siderably-from 3 to 100 years-these
being the maximum ages: Wren, 3
years; thrush, 10; robin, 12; blackbird,
IL; goldfnch, Is; partridge, IS; pleas
ant, Is; lark, IS; nightingale, 1S; pi-
geon, 90; linnet, 20; 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 the United States than in
Europe, and one 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 menagerie and
museum purposes are, generally speak
ing, inadequate and have to be eked out
by private contributions. The annual
appropriation for the menagerie in Cen
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 is true of New York city in
this regard is substantially true of the
other big cities Of the United States,
and SO the market for rare birds rests
chiefly upon the purchases Of private in
dividuals. New York Sun.

Cost Of Indian Warfare.

1t is impossible to determine exactly
the amount Of money expended by the
government during its existence in
fighting Indians, but q conservative es-
innate makes it more than 81, 600, 00O,-
600. The government has also spent
during this time about $3.50, 600, 600 in
governing and supporting these charges
OF the nation, and is at present dis
bursting about 81, 900, 900 annually for
this purpose. 1t would appear that it
has cost about four times as much to
tight the red man a to pension him OF.

Sunday services at Rsdnry

Tic congregations at the morning and
evenlng services In Rodney Street Presby-
terian Church heard we'll delivered and
Instructive sermons yesterday. The
preacher was Rev. w. IL. bingham of
Oxfoid. Pa, and for his evening subject
he chose the text:
Il have SGT before thee this day life and
good, death and evil"
During his discourse the preacher gaid:
Right and wrong are powerful agents In
the works of God. Right In preserving
the harmony OF creation and evil In dis.
tubing 1t and attempting the ruin of
Gods creatures, Looking away from this
earth TO the worlds that swing around the
sun they appear to ba in perfect order nnd
harmony. So far Us we know they have
not been effected by evil-have not gone
wrong but ara entirely obedient to the
will OF God their creator. Their apparent
beauty and harmony IL because they are
right.
Looking for the ultimate OF right doing
II is found in heaven, in the perfection
found In the presence o, God and IN the
JOY redeemed OF God On.the other hand
the effect of wrong ls found iu the re.
gions of the lost--right is heaven; wrong
Is hell. The difference between right and
wrong Is measured only by the distance
between the lengths OF heaven and the
depths OF helI-the difference between
eternal life aud eternal death. for God has
Joined life and good and death and evil
together as causes and effects life to fol-
low light and death TO follow wrong
These things arc irrevocabiy fixed. and it
is not ttreYeronce to cay that God cannot
alter this law OF cause and eifect-He can.
not make right other than it because 1t Is
the law OF his belng-God is right.
There are q good many people VIII O are
greatly exercised over ting doctrine of
eternal punishment. Ii is Blble doc
trtne and ts simply one OF the effects OF u
potent causs. Here Is the link. Let go
of the wrong. Cease to do evil and learn
To do RI Eht. For so long as wrong must
be punished and right must Do re-
wardeu tn division wall between eternal
Joy aud eternal war cannot be broken
down. In ceasing to DO evil men cannot
Justify themselves by the deeds of the
law. II !s Christ alone who makes that
POSSIBLE This does not divorce morality
from religion. Religion is necessarily
moral. but morality ID not religion. Jha

gton IL faith in God and in his Christ and
love to man begotten of that faith.
In the text God sets two ways before
men. narrow way OF righteousness and
broad way of unfiRhteousness. At the
end OF one OF theas ways are the rewards
OF right doing and al the end of the 9th.

News and Notes.

Spanish pink is new insecticide said
to destroy potato bugs, cabbage worms
and caterpillers more readily than paris
green and to be less dangerous to handle.
These called sled cutter, or harvester,
is becoming quite popular and has prob
ably done more than any other one i'm
plement to facilitate the handling of
corn and to reduce the cost of harvest
ing it.
Providant farmers have made pro-
vision for supplementing the short hay
crop by sowing turnips, fodder corn and
other crops on all available land
The west is shipping many horses to
Germany and France, presumably for
food purposes.
All reports indicate big corn crop
for 1895.
Attention is again called to the ma
tional irrigation congress at Albuquer-
que, N. M, beginning Sept 10.
Missouri ranks first in mules, having
in the last census year 251, 7I4; tho next
being Texas, with 227, 7,432, and the
third Tennessee, with 20s, ,639.
A new fact bearing on the disuse Of
the horse is the alleged effect ON the oats
market. According to the dealers, the
demand for oats is considerably less
than it was n year ago

when to Cut Corn Fodder.

A Country Gentleman correspondent
writes:
The best time to cut the corn is when
the ears are glazed and the husks turn
ing white. Cut at this time not only is
the fodder at its best, but there will be
no shrinkage of corn and the ears will
be we'll filled out with plump, heavy
grain. Quite late in the season, when
the weather is cool and there is danger
of frost, late corn may be cut up green
and will cure out without danger of
shrinkage or of the fodder souring
As rule, / prefer large shocks, 1870
to la hills to the shock, as less of the
fodder will be exposed to the weather
and q large shock cures out almost as
soon as small one When the field is
to be put in wheat, prefer to carry 20
rows on each side of the shock row and
make the shocks 8 by 40 hills, which
makes them as close as they can stand
in the row. 1t will cost / cent to u
more per shock, but is great conven-
ienee in sowing the wheat, and enables
you to get the corn and fodder off with
very little trampling Of the wheat

Three Enellsbmen named Edward olegg,
Coleman Nickoid and Henry Cartenson
were arrested for violating the law by
fact riding on their bicycles at Chadron.
Neb. They were each fined. but they re.
fused to pay their lines and were sent to
jail In consequence After two days In
carceration they paid their fines and were
released. Now they demand satisfaction
from the authorities and have written
home asking for such redress from the
United States as British subjects only
should have. They deliberately broke
the laws and were fined the same as any
other person wouli have besn, who had
acted In similar way. They should have
paid their fnes and then they would not
have been put In iaiI.
