The famous poisoning case IN WHICH
Detective Coleman did such expert work,
after the style Of Diamond Dick, the
sleuth hound Of the prairies, came up be
fore the grand jury at St. Peter last week
and there wasn't evidence enough against
John A. Loffelmacher to find an indict-
ment against him and be was permitted
to return to his home. That was one of
the cases in which the detectives thought
they had done one of the shrewdest pieces
of work that ever eminated from the
brain of man. The worst feature of the
whole thing is that Mr.. Loffelmacher
has been put to great inconvenimce and
no little expense because pair of would
be detectives had a dream that he was
instrumental in poisoning some cattle,
and there is apparently no redress for
damages. If that is the style of detective
work that is being done the most scru-
pulous citizen is unsafe even in his own
home.

CANARIES SHOWN KINDNESS
Nearly Thousand Sweet Singers Saved from Inclement Weather
 and Dock Rats.

Nearly thousand canaries are much obliged to Joseph J.Couch, acting col lector of the port of New York. who has issued an order al lowing the removal of the birds from the Hamburg American dock at Hoboken, where they were a prey to indictment weather and dock pats. A Greenwich street importer had received HOO birds on the steam ship Bengolia, which arrived Satur- day. When he made application for the entry of the canaries it was denied in accordance with instructions from the treasury department under date of June Il, which prescribed that any consignment of 100 canaries or more must be examined by special inspect ors. When the canaries arrived both the special inspectors were out of town.
 Mir. Couch justified his action on the ground of common sense and human ity.
 The importer has suffered loss of $20o or $500 by reason of the exposure, about 200 of the birds having died or lost their voices.

TO GET MORE SEEDS.
Congressmen to Receive Nearly a Double Allotment This Year, Be-
 sides Fifty Trees.

Congressmen who have experienced
 great difficulty on account of the
 small number of seeds allotted to
 them will probably be glad to know
 their allowance this year will be
 practically double that received
 previously. In addition to doubling
 the allotment of seeds, each con
 gressman will have 50 trees at his
 disposal. They will be of different
 varieties, selected particularly with
 a view to suiting the climatesin which
 they will be grown. Many of these
 will be nut trees, such as oceans and
 other varieties which will grow. in
 this country. Secretary Wilson de- termined to distribute trees with a hope of implanting a love of trees in the breasts of the people and incit- ing them to follow the example set by the department as we'll as to have a permanent showing for the money expended In addition to the trees distributed, 3S,30O,3S4 packets of seeds will be distributed. Each con
 gressman will have at his disposal 14,0O0 packages of vegetable seeds, 400 of flowers, 110 of tobacco, 40 of cotton, 30 of lawn grass, 25 of sugar beets, 50 of forage crops, 220 bulbs, 150 strawberries, and 40 of grapes. The strawberries will be of new and rare varieties and the grapes are yet | to be selected.

FIREMEN DISCOUNT SOLDIERS.
There Is n Paid Force of 65,OOO and 100000 Volunteers in the
 United States.

There are more firemen in the United States than there are soldiers in Uncle Sam's- army, says the New York Sun.
 In New York city, for fire purposes, the two boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, with 1,4O0 firemen, arc joined. The two boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, with 1000 paid and 2,00o volunteer fremen, are joined, and Richmond, with 1,700 fremen, is sep arately organized. There are there fore in this city 6,100 firemen, paid and unpaid.
 There are 1900 firemen in Chicago, 800 in Philadelphia, TOO in Boston, 400 in Baltimore, 500 in Buffalo, 480 in De- ltroit, 500 in St. Louiss 400 in Pittsburgh, 430 in San Francisco, 300 in New Or leans and 250 in Washington.
 In the whole country there are 65, ,0OC paid firemen, and the number of volun- teer firemen varies from 100000 to 150,000.
 There is a saying among firemen that three volunteers are equivalent only to one regular, so great is the value of training and discipline. Thus city like Wilmington, Del, with popula- tion of 76,O00, has more volunteer fire men than Philadelphia, with popula- tion of 1,3OO,O0O, which has paid fire men.

TROUBLES OF BIRD
 se HOUSEKEEPING $


 F THE average small boy knew U what a hard time birds have to rear their families under the best condi- tions he would hesitate to disturb their nests, even if there was no law to threaten him with punishment if he does so-
 There was patient pair of robins, for instance, who built their first nest Aore than six weeks ago in low ap- pie tree in the orchard. Presently there were two blue eggs in the nest. Then came the first catastrophe. Next morning the nest was empty. On the ground under the tree lay one of the eggs with two holes picked in it's shell. The other was entirely missing. That was the work of big, snealxing blue jay, if one may judge by the fact that the same afternoon the robins were seen chasing a scolding jay about the orchard, and that the picture of the lay has long been in the birds rogue gallery.
 Immediately after the destruction of their eggs the robins set about building a second nest on another limb of the same tree. They got so far as to have three blue eggs in this prospective cradle when red squirrel game 6own one afternoon from the oaks adjoining the orchard and made { robins egg omelet of what he found .here
 Then third nest was built, and on that the old mother bird has now been sitting for two weeks. Perhaps she EilI succeed this time in rearing an in- seresting family, but there is an old white cat with three kittens under tlee nay mow stairs, who spends hours standing motionless, all but the tip of ger taiE in the tall orchard grass, and who thinks that a dinner of young ,robins would do her own children much good.
 There is little yellow warbler who built down in the pasture wood lot and who had equally hard luck ina diff ferent and really peculiar way.
 The yellow warbler's nest was in itself an exquisite thing. It was built lear the top of some thick bushes, about five feet from the ground. It sas lined with soft, silky gray mosses

THE NOISE HABIT.
Becomes Necessary Dissipation to the Nervous DwelIer in
 Large City.

The New Yorker in time contracts what may be called the noise habit. Noise with him becomes dissipation. His nervous system demands it, says Munsey's Magazine. This is illustrated by the sensations and experiences when he goes into the woods or noun tains after a continuous stay in the city for many months. His first feel ing is one of loneliness; something seems to have suddenly gone out of his life. Every tree seems to say: Why have you been so hot and noisy, my little sir?" His sensatio are some what akin to those of drunllard who has been under alcoholic stimulation for long time, and suddenly has his drink. taken from him. His whole nervous system feels, the lack of the irritation of the city noise, to which he has become accustomed. The still ness actually appais and depresses him.
 The streets of New York are deep, narrow channels, and they are grow ing constantly deeper. as the buildings increase in height. These large re- fiecting surfaces on three sides of him make the condition of the man in the street like that of the workman who suffers from reflected noise while he hammers rivets on the inside of a boiler. s1s3 4'-A

ADVANTAGES OF THE DOCTOR.
ae Is Not Under Restraints Such as Those by Which Preachers
 Are Environed.

Physicians, like clergymen, are con eerned in trying to make their fellow men better, but they have great ad- vantage over the clerical brethren in being able to shape their lives accord ing to their whims and necessities without undue criticism from their fel- lows. We prefer that our doctors should be good men. We insist that they shall have high degree of pro- fessional honor. We expect them not to be unduiv mercenary, and not to grudge a fair measure of their time to the public service. But we don't con- cern ourselves about what they eat, or drink, or smoke, or how they choose to have their share of fun, says writer in Harper's Weekly. We don'teven insist that they shall practice what they preach, and we should be disappointed if we did, for, though doctors spend their lives in 6fforts to induce people to take care of their health, it is unusu- al for a busy doctor to take even ordl- nary care of himself. His sleep is broken, his meals are irregular, he overworlxs himself; very likely he smokes too much. But as long as our confidence in his skill is unimpaired we don't criticise him.
 Doctors are supposed to know what is good for themselves, and in their hands we leave the responsibility for their cases as we'll as for ours. To be .sure, we scoff a great deal at the med ical profession, carp at it's contradic- tions and remark upon it's limitations, but in the long run the good doctors get the credit that is their due, even though it's arrears may not come in un- til after they are dead.

women Considered ..poor pay.v

Tradespeople in general consider women as ''poor pay" writes Edward Box in Ladies' Home Journal The vast majority of sheltered women seem to have no conception of the anxieties, trouble, poverty, suffering, privation, injustice and positive cruel ty which they directly infict upon hardworking women by a careless ness in promptly meeting their bills. If this practice were confined to the few one might dismiss it with a shrug or sigh that it existed at all But it applies to the majority of women. Let a woman look into this matter carefully, and she will be sur prised at the evils which result from this careless disregard of obligations Wherever you find a feminine indus try there you will find a ledger full of unI1aid accounts

like the inside of spun silver cup. It was built so artfully that leaves and branches hid it on all sides, and it took hard work and good luck to find it even after one knew it was there. It pleted, when the mother bird was just ready to begin laying her eggs.
 But there was another bird out that day, sneaking through the bushes like a pickpocket, looking for chance to leave one of its eggs in newIy-built nest. The sneak was coward, which never builds a nest of it's own, and dis misses the whole subject of maternal responsibility from its mind when it has left an egg in some other birds nest One of these big brown and black cowbirds found the yellow warb- ler's dainty little nest, and laid one of Its big spotted eggs there. Then it flew back to the pasture again, and got down on the ground among the cattle, with others of its sneaking kind
 Sometimes when yellow warbler finds a cowbird's egg in its nest it will build false bottom over the egg and proceed to make it's nest above it on the second floor. But this poor warb- Ter got no such opportunity. This has been cold, late spring, and the war blers and other similar birds have been slow in building. Also there were many cowbirds about looking for chance to saddle off the matching and rearing of their young on their bet fers. and before the yellow warbler mother could get a chance to lay one of her own eggs in the nest she had built it was actually filed almost to overhowing with four big cowbird eggs. This is believed to be the rec ord in the way of cowbird greediness. Often two cowbird eggs are found in the same nest, but rarely if ever be- fore have four been found
 The greed of the cowbird in thus completely occupying the 7varbler's nest brought its own punishment with
 The warbler, disgusted. aban- doned the nest completely. A day or two later something or beast had discovered the deserted nest and stolen all four of the eggs
 If the yellow warbler builds another nest and succeeds in raising its brood where the cowbirds cannot find it even the first catastrophe may be all for the best Even when only one cowbird's egg IS laid in nest and is matched out with three of four young warbIers the latter are likely to get the worst of it. Ihe yornU cr-~bi-d from the rpomens .t breaks the shell is bigger and greed Ter than its foster brothers and sis ters. It will crowd them to the side and insists on eating much more than It's share of the food which the yellow Farblers bring for their young.
 Across the barbsd wire and rail | fence from the warbler's nest is a big woods pasture. Close to the fence 1f0W thick clumps of hazel brush and | wild crab and plum trees. In some 'laces the thicket is so dense that a han has hard work in forcing his way | through it. High up in these tangles. ix or eight feet from the ground. two | '@ir< of catbirds have built their
