RETAIL BIRD DEALERS.

Extensive Trade Carried ON In New Yosa
Almost Exclusively By Germans.
New York city's extensive trade i'm
singing birds is carried ON almost ex-
clusively by Germans. Not only have
they virtual monopoly Of this very
profitable business, but, furthermore, q
very large part Of the bird importations
come from Germany direct. Tho 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 very large
trade in canary birds, and during the
period when 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 short
time. The retail bird business does not
require 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 8 to 100 years-these
being the maximum ages: Wren, 3
years; thrush, 10; robin, IL; blackbird,
IL; goldfinch, Is; partridge, Is; pheas.
ant, 10; lark, l8; nightingale. 18; pi.
geon, 20; linnet. %; canary, "a; crane,
"a; peacock, 81; sparrow, 40; pelican,
80; parrot. 60; crow, swan and eagle,
100 years. There is much less demand
for birds for ornithological displays in
museums in tho 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
tral park, including necessary repairs to
the buildings, is only $50, 900. 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. York Sun.

Boys who are found guilty Of minor
ofenses in England are sentenced by the

Of the policeman. Here is description
OF it taken from an English paper:
The birch is a very different instru-
ment Of torture from the cat. The for

birch twigs, while the latter is really a
whip with nine l.notted small cord

the prison doctor must be present, but
when the birch is put Oh it is only nec-
essary for the inspector or superintend-
ent of police to witness it, although the
parents or near relatives of boy sem
fenced to be fiogged may be present at
the castigation. When dose of the cat
is dealt out, none but those connected
with the prison are allowed to be there.
Like the cat the birch may be made. O.

ing to the number Of strokes, but from
the instructions given the constable who
is told of to do the Aogging. have
seen a boy after six strokes resemble
nothing so much as piece Of raw beef
and bleeding fearfully, while I have
also seen boy after six strokes merely:
. trife red.
Some policemen dread the duty Of.
aogging, and after the FIRST two strokes
get sharp order to ''hit the boy and
not play with him." Other constables
delight in the work and boast Of their
ability to draw blood at the first stroke.
Various modes Of administering the
punishment obtain in different parts of
the country. In some places boys are
placed face downward on q form. One
constable holds his arms aud head firm
~, while another does him the same
service with his legs, and the third ad.
ministers the punishment.
In other prisons the culprit is placed
on a constable's back, ard as he sits
there with his arms around the officers
neck, awaiting the event, his attitude
strikes spectator more as one of affec-
tion than discomfort. Another way is to
compel boy to lean over chair as if
he were praying. then run strap right
around his legs and tho legs of the chair,

THROUGH OTHER EYES.
Lilo at Harvard College From the English
Point of View.

Lilo at Harvard College From tho English
Point of View.
The student life Of America is emf
nently an American institution. It has
grown up in an odd compound of native
manners and foreign influences, which
form an essentially new product. It is a
good deal more complex in its organiza-
ticn than anything known on the Isis or
the Cam. There is more details in it,
and consequently less breadth Of effect.
The university organizations are in
nsmerable. Men are banded together in
college clubs for every conceivable pur-
pose of study or amusement. Their bond
Of union may be their attempt to talk
Greek with the uccent of modern Attioa,
or it may be only passion for domi-
nos, but it has all the notes of institu-
tion in its machinery Of committee,
president and secretaries. Great variety
OF life comes from the differences in for
tune among the students, but Of late
years there has been 1audable attempt
on the part Of the university and college
authorities to introduce o more uniform
simplicity. Plain living is the cry, and
with this secured it is believed the
thinking will take care Of itself.
At Harvard some time ago Professor
Palmer tried to discover how far the liv-
ing had departed from the philosophic
standard by asking some hundreds Of
students for return of their annual ex-
penditure. The answers showed that
Harvard at least had nothing to be
ashamed Of. Many of the students, less
than fourth, spent less than e13O "a
year; some less than e1OO. The average
probably did not amount to the e2OO a
year which the professor regards as an
entirely adequate allowance for both
ease and refinement. Yale is less costly
than Harvard, SO these institutions at
least are not open to the reproach that
they have introduced the millionaire in
to American university lite.-London

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
~ Recent and Rapid Developmens Upou
tho Continent,

~ Recene and Rapid Development Upou
tho Continent.
Before recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Institute Of Electrical Engineers
Mr.. 81. Ward Leonard delivered an in
teresting address upon electrical eugi-
Heering developments in France and
England as contrasted with those in
America In its commercial develop
ment Of electricity America is placed
drxt-in fact, far in advance of the old
world countries-but considered from an
engineering standpoint Mr.. Leonard
thinks the United States is losing the
lead tt has thus far held. He lays the
responsibility for this condition of affairs
almost entirely at the door of the gusat
electrical monopolies, which have stood
in the way of progress, and particularly
in preventing the trial of devices and.
systems Of which Europe presents varie-
ties unknown to us. He questions what
has been done in this country in the.
way Of electrical engineering develop
ment since Edison started his three wire
lightning distribution at Sunbury, Pa,
in 1883, and Westinghouse established
his alternating system with /, 900 volt
primary and 80 volt secondary few
years lats1, and spague started the
Richmond electric Iaihoad in 1887.
There has Of course been great extension
Of installation along these lines.
We, have, Xr. Leonard says, the best
three wire central station plants in the
world A1so the best alternating sys-
tenn, converting from 1000 to 80 volts,
buttwe have practically no other kind
OF central station to point to. We are
operating 800 volt continuous current
electric, railways It distances for which
2,O00 volts should be used instead Of
500, and after investing more money in
copperRer car than the entire cost of the
electrical equipment we still lose twice
as much energy as is commercial in the
line. In England IN alternating systems
H three wire secondary Ia used with 100
volts on; each side, and, according to
Mr.. Leonard's view, there was no ex-
cuse except patents for so volt two
wire secondary originally, and none
save the inertia and prejudice Of large
corporation for continuing to put in the
two wire secondary today.
Rotary transformers are used in sew
eral stations in England for continu-
ous current, high potential multiple arc
distributions. the secondary being three

tions not patented in England are found
to have been utilized in central stations

TOM MooRE's FIRST SWEETHEART.
She Was tho Heroine Of His s.Mary, Be
lieved Thee True"

She Was tho Heroine Of His "Mary. Be.
lieved Thee True"
To the present generation the name
Of Mary Duff is known only by tradition
and by Moore's poem, says Edward Box
in The Ladies' Home Journal. Yet her
career reads like a romance. It was in
London that she was born, in 1894. Her
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
When she was scarcely 15, she was
known far and wide as one Of the most
beautiful girls Of the neighborhood Her
poverty led her to adopt the stage as q
profession. and she and her two sis
ters, also Of great beauty, became dan
GERS at the Dublin theater, where their
singular grace, comeliness Of face and
person attracted immediate attention
and admiration. Whenever the Dyke
sisters appeared, the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to BE- the
favorite Of the trio.
II was the fashion Of the time at Kill
kenny for gentleman amateurs 10 give
annual public performances for the BEN
eft Of the poor Of the city, and it was
ON one Of these occasions, when the as
sistanoe Of professional ladies frean Dub
lin was invoked, that Thomas Moore,
tho 1rish post, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and Immediately found himself
passionately in love with hes. Il was in
tho play, Fortunes Ffolic, - that Tom
Moore personated Robin Roaghhead and
Mary DYKE Nancy.
The Irish post became Mary Dykes
very shadow, and after awhile he pour
ed forth his great love for her and offer.
cd her his hand and heart But, for
some reason, tho beautiful Mary did not
reciprocate the wealth Of affection thus
offered her, and she rejected him. Il
was this which led Moore to return to
his room, and in the midnight hour pen
his celebrated love song, beginning
"Mary, I believed thee true"
