troops found 1900 cases of the most

SONG CANARIES OF GERMANY
Those From tho Harz Mountains Are
the Best.

The home Of these birds. the Harz,
an entirely isolated chain of mountains
rising out of the plain between the
rivers Lene and Saale. Is the most
northern elevation of Importance in
Germany and lies partly in Prussia,
partly in Anhalt and Brunswick. The
best song canaries are reared here at
the present time, chiefly In Andreas-
berg. a town also celebrated for its
silver mines In every house and cot
tage of the place you see canaries, and
on fine summers day, when walking
by, their song greets You from every
open door and window. Whereas with
the other races of canaries color mark
ingS. shape and size are important
points. with this breed there is but one
their song.
The birds are usually of middle size
and strongly built; the head is large,
the legs shorter and the neck not so
long as in the common canary; the legs
slant backward a little and the bird
does not stand as upright as the
others. The breast ought to be broHd
the feathers must lie smooth ana the
bird ought to execute all its move
ments with sort of coquetry. The
colors vary from straw TO golden vel
low. some with green markings. but
deeper shades of yellow are not to he
found among them. If we say that
these birds have to take the second
place in outward beauty of form and
color. we certainly must give them the
first of all in point OF som. Their en-
tire value lies in this
With the utmost care and science
their voice has been cultivated for
years, and splendid results have been
obtained The song of a really first

SOME ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The Wisconsin legislature Of 1899 VIII
have more than ordinary prominence
in the history of the state. 1t has
made progress toward Improvement
in methods of governmentalongl lines
which its SUCCESSORS must see and
will not dare to widely depart from.
That much Of the progress made has
apparently been with reluctance and
only under the goad of clamorous
and repeated public demand, should
be rendered more as an evidence
that the viii of the people may still
be enforced than ~ - reflection upon
the courage or faitfulness of public
officials. While the retiring legisla-
ture may be condemned for many
sins Of omission and commission, we
hope the good it has done will out
weigh any bad that may come to
light.

ciais of the state, il most conspicu-

influence in future legislatures, and
ultimately result in removing the
least ground for suspicion that laws
are enacted, interpreted land executed
at the dictatiou and In the interest
OF the corporations, rather than for
the benefit of and to insure justice to
the people.

nations have hitherto paid less than
