A writer In Bird Lore says: Several
years ago, when In a Western town,
l was taken to a neighbours to see his
birds. Four cages swung in the shell
ter of commodious porch. One con-
tained redwinged blackbird that had
been taken from its nest when very
young and brought up by hand. His
associates were canary, bluejay and
an oriole. The canary had been pur-
chased in bird store, and had there
learned its song. The bluejay and
oriole had been taken from neighbor-
Ing nests, and had, no doubt, picked
up the characteristic notes OF their
species from the many other members
of their kind that inhabited the vicin-
ity, but it was many miles to the near
est swamp or lowland where one might
find red-winged blackbird. This red
winged had learned perfectly the notes
Of his Gagged companions, and had
picked up some notes of other birds
In the neighborhood, but not one note
Of the red-winged blackbird did he
know"

The Philadelphia Times publishes
the following letter from a perplexed
reader: Can you inform me whether
the shirt waist proposed for the male
sex is to be the sport Of fashion and
to pass from cambria to silk. having
pompadour sleeves at the shoulders,
or is it for this season to fit snugly TO
the arms? Can pereales be worn, and
is organdy permissible? Is 1t to be
belted at the waist and end there, or
is it to preserve masculine continuity
Endorsed by Older practices? OF course,
If we must wear shirt waists. We want
to wear the right thing, and we seek
authority. Yours faithfully. Doubt and
Anxiety"

Leslie Bassett, thirteen years old, Is
riding across the many miles of prai-
RE between Colorado and the Missouri
river. The idea OF making this jaunt
across three states struck the boy last
winter. Attempts to persuade him to
abandon the trip were useless. An
ticipating that highwaymen might at
tack him. he practiced with revolver,
and on his departure carried a gun.
The boy wears bicycle suit. carries
no baggage and only a little money.
He is an accomplished amateur enter
tainer, and relies on his ability in this
line to win the shekels OF the Kansans
and obtain accommodations en- route.

Report to Russia.

Col. Epan tchin, of the Russian i'm
porial army, after three months spent
in the inspection of the Bulgarian army,
has finished his mis- ion. He was re-
ceiyed in congo audience by Prince Fer
dinand at Sofa and then departed for

This mission has produced an exceed
ingly disagreeable impression on pa
triotic Bulgarians, who see in the thing
an impalpable aggression on the part
of Russia II Bulgaria ever gets quit

neither Russia nor any other power
may hold the principality in subsection.
The colone's report speaks in tatter-

garian army, but that is a trifing salve
to wounded feelings. The infantry and
artillery, he says, are satisfactory, but
the cavalry is defective.

CITY TAXES

The city council levied city and ward
taxes at the meeting held on Monday
last The general city tax is Il mills on
the dollar. Last year it was nine mills,
but there was deficit which had to be
made up this year. The council thought
it best to levy sufficient tax to pay all
estimated expenses and to wipe out all
Indebtedness, except what is bonded.
The coming year the city will have to
pay 81, 325 interest on bonds and $4,000 of
its bonds which become due In addi-
ton there is library tax of 1850 and
an appropriation for a pest house which
may be built in conjunction with the
county, amounting to $1,000. There is
an increase in several items owing to
increase of business.
The total cost drumming the city next
year on the estimates made, is S54, 015
The receipts from licenses and other
sources is estimated at $40, 100 leaving
$50, 975 to be raised by a tax The cost

The wards are all in debt to the gen
eral fund, the aggregate amounting to

levied to cover estimated expenses for
the coming year and to wipe out the in
debtedneSs of each ward. The ward
taxes levied are, 1st ward, 2 mills End

The sewer tax in District c is 2! mills.

The city taxes will be pretty high this
year, but improvements have not added
materially as economy in general affairs
has been practiced. The city is paying
its debts. something to be commended
with reference to municipalities as well
as individuals People must pay for
what they get.
