the sweet song in loud, clear, tlutelike
notes once and then stop to listen
while the young birds try to initiate
the song. Some will utter one note,
some two. Some will utter coarse
note, Others a sharp note. After awhile
they seem to forget their lesson and
drop out one by one. When all are ST.
lent, the old thrush turns up again,
and the young thrushes repeat their
efforts, and SO 1t goes OH for hours.
The young birds do not acquire the
full song the first year, so the lessons

WALL STREET AND WAGES.

Wall street does not take kindly to
recent advances in the wages of labor.
This is shown by the latest issue of
Henry Clew's Financial Review which
says:
The increased demands of labor are
anything but a bull argument. For a
period larger consumption and dis
trfbution of commodities is anticipated
but, on the other hand, new enterprises
are already being held back because of
the high cost of materials and labor,
much of the work now doing being on
old contracts. The ultimate effect OF
these demands will be increased costs
of production and higher costs to con-
sumers; stimulating imports and check
ing exports to a degree that will finally

not only the German emperor, but
thousands of visitors from the four

of the judges show that in one depart

the highest honors. The Gorham Mfg
