TEACHING BIRDS TO SING.
How Cobblers In Germany Train CaHarie
to Marble Sweet

How Cobblers In Germany Train Calaries
to Marble Sweet
| Germany's fame in music extends
even to the feathered tribe-thOse soft,
pearly, mellow notes that you hear
emanate from the throat of the Ger
man canary. All our best ca1aries
come from that country, but they de-
generate very rapidly over here, so
that after a few generations they sing
in that high, shrill, piercing voice
with which we are all too familiar.
That charming quality which seems to
surprise you is the result Of centuries
of cultivation, and the story of how
it is accomplished is really very inter
esting to one familiar with it.
The little town of Andresberg, in the
Hartz mountains, Is the great canary
center of the world, and all of our best
songsters are imported from that
region. For generations the obscure
cobblers thereabouts have inherited
the business of raising canaries along
with the trade of repairing boots and
shoes, and they all have curious rude
devices for training their little fedg-
lings into the various notes for which
they are distinguished. Every autumn
large fair is held, and premiums OF
considerable value given the man who
can produce the best singers, or who
has in any way achieved new variety
Of note.
The stock notes are called the roller,
water, flute, and bell. To effect the
first a large wooden wheel is kept
constantly revolving in the vicinity of
the birds by means of pulley and
weights. and against the surface a
quill is made to press. This, as YOU
may imagine, does not give rise to
very beautiful sound, but the birds
effort to initiate it produces very
pleasing note, indeed.
The water note is not unlike trill.
The birds are initiated into this by
means of a tin pan nailed to post
firmly planted in the ground Through
a pipe from above water is made to-
drop, drop into the pan, and the vibra-
tons thus caused, rendered into bird
lduSudSe, has QulGe d 1 dCll-llhS SlCCI'
To gain the flute note, though ] do
not see why they should not rather call
it the violin, they rub together two
bits of waxed end held taut by sort
of rude framework.
The bell note explains itself, and as
the various cobblers have different
bells. it naturally follows that this
variety of note should vary with their
respective birds. This is, indeed, the
case. and the connoisseurs of that
country can tell by which particular
dealer a bird was raised by the quality
of it's bell note. These birds that you
hear will doubtless always retain their
beautiful voices and method. The next
generation, removed from their par
ents' cultivated environment, will not
sing so well, and in three or four gen
erations the descendants will screech
and whistle with the best American
canary going.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Something Better Than the Old Saw

OOlACbhlH$ DOILCA L Hail bHC OlN saw
The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false,
but there is another and better ''one
which is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and
vitalize your blood, you may expect,
when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and

If you have not already begun taking

.abor Organizations=-Their Relation
to Inventive Progress--How the
Government Authorities Hood
wink the Trusts.
It strikes me as queer that the
labor organizations are so opposed to
time-saving machinery. On the face
of it, the proposal by the inventor to
construct soulless piece of machan-
ism which will accomplish the work
of six mon knocks that half-dozen
out of a job; but if the reasoning
we're carried little further it would
clearly appear that it takes many
more than six men, all expert to
high degree and drawing much larger
salaries than those who have been
superseded, to build this machine.
Possibly it's construction consumes a
week while the six men are idle a
year, but in the other 81 weeks the
expects are turning out additional
machines which, because there is an
increased demand for the product,
are purchased by manufacturers and
kept in motion-thus giving work to
most of the six men who might other
wise be idle. The product has be-
come so cheap that the sales are
doubled and quadrupled, and its cost
now comes within the reach of the
working man who is thus benefited
again. Therefore, the evolution from
manual labor to machinery makes it'll
incumbent on the ordinary laborer at
81 day to perfect himself in those
lines which will enable HIM to earn |
Sc per diem, after which the COM
modify previously costing So is avail
able to him at 81. Here again is
proven the unsoundness of the pres
ont practice of labor organizations
which limit the number of appren-
tees in the various trades of local.
" and prohibit many Of the boys
from learning anything expert-as
;hough knowledge were ever unwel
come in this world. How far better
t would be to accept the tire. honor
I'd and oft-proven scientific theory
hat nothing can be gained out of
nature. While evolution and ma
,hinery cheapens the output, the
ahor saved thereby is sure to be ex-
pended in making the machines.

The Government is sly. The
authorities have lately had the type
writer companies bidding to the army
quartermaster, and he has accepted
bids for about 100 machines at an
average of $50 each instead Of 500
as the trust forces the general public
to pay for hightrade typewriters. [
learn from inside sources that al
though the quartermaster invited
bids on machines apparently for his
own use, the blanks were worded in
such way that the companies now
find that they have offered their ma
chimes at this price ''to the Govern
ment," and without limit as to num-
Der, and the result is that all the de-
partments are going to buy at this
rate. Your older readers will remem-
Der when sewing machines we're 500
now they are $40 In this same
way the price of all necessities is
maintained by union of companies
as long as possible. before its subse-
quent reduction so as to yield a fair
instead Of an exorbitant profit. This
reduction is due to the inventor and
patentee. He it is who takes up
these novelties, and studies out i'm
provements, and as new companies
enter the field with patents on these
improvements, a better machine is
prsduced and they are sold at less
than the trust price.

WHAT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO.

WHAT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO.
NJ. Raffaelli the famous French ar
fist, has come back from America,
where he first went as an adjudicator
at the Pittsburg exposition. He has
been considerably astonished at the
rapidity with which Americans trans
late thought into action, and the regard
they show to a foreigners advice.
One day he was walking in Chicago
with the mayor and a leading architect
of the city. Opposite the fine Art Insti-
tute near Lake Michigan, NJ. Raffaelli
lamented to his companions that it
should stand in a huge, ugly open space,
with no view but that of a far-off rail-
way. "A pity" he said, you haven't
turned this into a park"
Three months afterward, as the ar
fist was going on board his steamer to
return, a telegram was handed to him
from the mayor of Chicago: THE Art
Institute Park is finished" Which has
impressed NJ Raffaelli deeply with the
belief that Americans do sometimes al

A CHOIR AND THE DEACONS
DIVISION IN a WASHINGTON
CHURCH.
-Four Doacons Resign From the Famous
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. Where Lincoln worshipped.

Six Of the ten elders of the famous
old New York Avenue Presbyterian
churCh-which Lincoln used To attend
and four of the ten deacons have re-
sigened on account of differences with
their pastor, the Rev. Wallace Radcliffe,
ID. D., formerly of the Fort Street Prrs-
byterian church, Detroit and modera-
tor Of the general asse mbly of 1898. The
trouble all grew out of an operate
choir. Dr. Radcliffe came about
four years ago, and, after a pastorate
of few months proposed to change
the old-fashioned congregational sing
ing for a trained quartet choir. The
session, which under the Presbyterian
form of government, has exclusive
control of the music in the churches
objected. DIR. Radcliffe claimed that he
had been promised a choir. The ses-
sion and the committee which invited
him to the pastorate deny this and
have placed a written denial upon the
church records, but he still contends
that it is true. Dr. Radcliffe kept up the
agitation until the session finally con-
sented, with the agreement that the
salaries of the singers should be paid
by subscription, and not from the regu-
lar revenues of the church. At the
end of the year, however, it was found
that the private contributions amount
ed to only about $500, and the balance,
$4,000 or more, had, by direction of the
pastor been paid from the pew rents.
| This called out an emphatic protest
and censure from the session.
At the next church meeting the ques-
tlon came up and the pastor was sus-
tanned, because of his personal popu-
larity and the popularity of the operate
music furnished by the choir. A formal
resolution was passed to continue the
choir, but prohibiting the payment Of
the salaries from the treasury, but
again at the end of the year the agree
ment was violated and the deficit was
made up by increasing pew rents. Last
year the session instructed the treas
urer of the church not to pay any
choir bills, SO that DIR. Radcliffe was
himself compelled to go around with
the hat and make personal appeals to
rich people in the congregation, but
had to pay $500 out of his own pocket
toward the salaries of his singers.
When, at length, the annual church
meeting was held, the lecture room
was crowded with people, many of
whom had never attended before.
The session claims that 1t was
packed by the adherents of the pastor.
| Justice Harlan of the Supreme court,
led the choir party. John w. Foster,
formerly secretary of state, the ruling
elder, spoke for the session, and read
! from the book of government that the
latter body had sole authority concern
ing music. After a heated argument
the session was overruled, Dr. Radcliffe
was sustained, and considerable ma
| jority voted in favor of continuing the
choir and paying its salaries from the
| receipts from pew rents, whereupon Mr.
Foster, Justice Bradley and four other
elders, and four deacons rendered their
designations.
