SINGING CANARIES.

In the canary breeding establish
ments of Germany only the male birds
are valued, because the females never
sing. The method of training the birds
to sing is to put them In room where
there is an automatic whistle, which
they all strive to initiate. The breeder
listens to the efforts OF the birds, and
picks out the most apt pupils, which
are then placed In another room for
further instructions. These are the
best singers, and ultimately fetch high
prices. The less gifted birds are sort
ed into second and third quality. and
are sold, while those which show no
vocal powers are destroyed. German
canaries are exported to all parts of
Europe. to America, and even to Aus
tralia, and command higher prices than
those bred in other lands because they
are the best singers, for among breed
ers of other nations more attention is
given to form and color, comparatively
little care being taken to cultivate
song.

HIS HANDICAP.

"A funny story that could not help
but laugh at was told by travelling
salesman at local hotel" said the man
about town. 1T happened during his
last visit to this city. He arrived at
the Reading Terminal and hailed a
hanson. The driver, who seemed to be
a good natured chap, was tongue tied
and stammered badly; Of course tina;
was no fault of his. The drummer told
him that he wished to be driven to the
Continental Hotel, and the driver ans
wered, using his hands and emitting all
sorts OF noises All r-rright, s-sir
The gentleman stepped in and of they
sped. After driving some time the
hanson came to a standstill, the driver
jumped from the seat and the visito:
stepped out Looking about he noticed
that they had gone some distance be-
yond the hotel, and he remarked this to
the driver. The driver nodded his head
and answered. 1T t-t-t-took m-m-me

Iron Market Takes
A Decided Tumble

Cleveland o., June 21.-Prices OF
iron and steel are coming closer to cost
and closer to the buying point with
every week. Buyers see no reason for
believing that the bottom. has been
reached and cannot buy freely, though
1t is evident that much business is be-
ing held up and that many would be
glad to contract in the usual way If
they could do so with any assurance.
Again of $4,000 tons in pig iron stocks
in May and slight increase in produc-
ton was quickly responded to with
lower prices and in finished lines there
has been further yielding, under the
lead of the 81 reduction in beams and
channels. Whether or not the impend-
ing shutdown of mills is responsible
there has been a good aggregate of
orders in finished lines this month, q
considerable increase over the rate OF
buying in April and May. Lower prices
are having their natural result, but the
adjustments that yet remain to be
made work against the tendency to q
better movement. Tank plates at S2S
net ton and billets at s2s gross ton are
not consistent. Steel bars, also, ar'
coming close to the billet basis. And 4
this summer steel should still reced'
bessemer pig iron would make fur
ther inroad in the SO and $3.50 a tor
profit possible at $3.50 at the furnace
The factor in the immediate future
that is difficult of computation Is TIL
net result of the curtailment movement
among furnaces, rolling mills and stee
works. A number of furnaces In Penn
sylvania and Ohio have gone out thi
month; many will be added to the lis
in the next thirty days. The cost pric
has been reached in the case of goo,

AN UNPREMEDITATED BRIDE.

1T doesn't pay to be too difiident in
dealing with Spanish-American Gus
toms officials" said gentleman who
has some large mining interests in
Central America. II well remember
my own first experience with those
gentry. I had shipped lot of mining
material from New Orleans to one Of
the Caribbean ports, and, to my great
annoyance, the commandant refused to
let 1t go through, raising some pre-
posterous bubble about tariff classif-
cation. He was personally a very ele-
CANT fellow, however, splendidly edu-
Gated, and with the most graceful,
polished manner in the world. In spite
of my irritation couldn't help being
more or less fascinated by him, and the
idea Of Offering bride to such fine
gentleman never entered my mind.
Things hung fire nearly two weeks, and
one day, after a long and fruitless in
terview, | left the commandant's office,
forgetting my card case, which had
taken out for some purpose or other
and laid on the table. l carried from
$40 to s25 in small bills in a pocket Of
the case, but the fact was certainly re-
mote from my thoughts when | re-
traced my steps to recover it. | found
the commandant fairly bubbling over
with good nature, and was greatly as
tonished when he told me that on sec
ond thought ne believed way could be
devised by which my goods would be
Immediately released. AS he bowed me
out he smiled significantly, I must
compliment you upon your delicacy

fectly frank with me, hereafter
hadn't the least idea what he was
driving at,and continued in dazed con
ditiOn until had occasion to go into
my card case for some money and
found 1t empty. My highly polishe
friend had evidently construed tho
episode as a tactful method of greasint
his palm. 1t was lucky for me that HI
