 The goldfinch is favorite cage bird in both Europe and America, Besides being an able singer, it's ability to learn tricks has made it popular With certain classes. Some of the most beautiful mules are produced by mating the male goldfinch with hen canary

4 CONYENTION NOTE.

Tn the great debate at Hartford Thursday Delegate Webb of Hamden characterized the big Senate plan as an attempt to throw SOD to the people, and he added; If anything is to be done for the people don't settle down on measly little Senate of 36, but make q liberal number, so that the people shall be fairly represented The gen. tleman from Salisbury does not believe in going below 45, and fixes no mini mum, If you gild the pill gild it well. Then we may need d special train to bring the Senators here and" Then ensued the following "Mr. Dempsey of Danbury-Are you speaking truthfully or are you speaking sarcastically? MT. Webb-I am speaking with all the gray ity at my command. MT. Dempsey As to special trains to bring Senators to Hartford? MT. Webb--I suppose was sarcastic. I rather concede that I was"
 No wonder MT. Webb is tired and willing to have the convention adjourn. lie got off well in not being required to apologize as well as explain.

AN INTERESTING EFEOR

Business is business in Kansas City, tend to lose any business that they think belongs to them. Other cities have shown tendency of late, it is said, to invade the region that Kansas City regards as properly her own, and the Commercial Club of that city is planning to annihilate whatever hopes outsiders may have formed. The Club will this spring send out q special train through the territory in which the mer- chants have been accustomed, as q rule to look to Kansas City as the base of supply. It is going to be fine train. car dining car and baggage and sup ply car. It is going into Nebraska; it
 is going zig-zag across Kansas twice; and wherever it goes the enterprisng Kansas City men will invade the stores and have earnest talks with the local business men.
 The Kansas City men, says the Kan sas City Journal, believe they have the key to the trade in the situation of this city, and all that is needed to retain the entire loyalty of the country through which the trip has been planned is to shake the merchants by the hand and assure them that Kansas City will do all and more than any other city for their good" Doubtless this interesting effort will have some effect, for awhile at least but the Kansas City merchants will perhaps find that outside hand shakers and assurers will continue to bother them

NOT fl IL PROFIT.

It isn't all profit in the Beaumont oil field in Texas. Figures compiled by an agent of the government cover the work of the year or a little less which has passed since the discovery of oil on Spindle Top. It appears from these that the average cost of a producing well is $7,429, of which the work of drilling the necessary $50 feet amounts, at $4.50 foot, to $4,275 The other chief item of expense is the tubing for the well and the pipe to carry off the oil. A 'susher' or producing we'll was sold in Beaumont the other day for SSO0O. The whole number of gushers on Janu- ary was 13S, and 46 more were drilling.

arrived at his home on Christmas day. Later on Barney was confided to the care of an express company in Boston, and in a nicely padded box he made the journey home to Maine. The first thing he did after receiving the congratula- tions of his master and mistress was to give their home tabby an unmerciful whaling. After all his hard times Bar ney is now ''shipshape and Bristol fash ion," and it is said that he can lick any cat or dog in Jonesport.
 Barney has something of history His grandmother was a tramp cat at Port Antonio, Jamaica, and while wan dering about the wharves there boarded the E. l. White. She soon became so familiar with the crew and so pleased with the vessel that when sailing time came she declined to go ashore, and Captain Look had her entered in the vessels papers as one of the crew, named Tony" for the port where she had been shipped. In the course of time Tony produced litter of small To- nys, and one of the kittens was saved and christened Lucy. At sea four years ago Lucy became the mother of several children, of whom one was kept, he be- ing ntmed Barney.
 Barney has made many trips with Captain Look to the West Indies, to South America and to coastwise ports, andhis life has been filled with good living and lively adventures. Twice he fell overheard and was rescued in mid ocean, Captain Look heaving the vessel to and sending away a boat for him. Barney didn't exactly fall overheard though, he was too good sailor for that. He was always on deck when q gale was blowing, and once he was washed off the spanker boom, and at

fl DISCO VERY IN CHICAGO.

Chicago is mildly stirred by some revelations made by Assistant State Food Commissioner Patterson, who de- clares that he has located four slaugh- ter houses in Chicago for horses mules and donkeys. He further ayers that real beef is never handled in these places, but their delivery wagons run to markets restaurants and free lunch saloons with great regularity" Healthy young horses and mules in Chicago are too valuable to be worked up into saul sage, corned- beef hash or canned beef Ring boned, spavined and sore-footed nags, and even those that have glan- ders' are killed for this trade, says the assistant food commissioner
 And yet the health department of Chicago is able to show that the city is about the healthiest place in the world. Perhaps there would be no deaths there were it not for such things as Assistant State Food Commissioner Patterson has found,

another time wae knocked from the taffrail by high sea.
 The sailor cat seems to be endowed with remarkable instinct, and to know just how long it is safe to remain on shore without getting left, so that in port he has always been allowed to go and come at will. Once in New York the F. I. White was takig in cargo, and Captain Look found it necessary to shift to another berth, some distance from the first. Barney was on shore seeing the sights, but at night he ap- peared on board as usua having hunt ed alons the wharves until he found the right vessel A cat is a much better sailor than dog and it is seldom that a sea-going tab or tom is lost or gets hurt, while they know their own vessel as well as the man who built her.

A recent London suicide named Eus- tace Cecil Talboys, who was but thirty two years of age, left the following let ter behind him: T was born in the year 1S69 and lived with my grand father, who had an income of 1000 q year and died worth G135,000 and all he beaueathed me was his total ignorance of the value of money and utter want of common sense. When I left school lived with my mother who then had an income of about 91, 800 a year, and in stead of putting me to some occupation allowed me to waste the best years of nv life in idleness and folly. At the age of eighteen I married one of the prettiest women it is possible to con- ceive. Our only assets were the clothes we stood up in; I even had to borrow the clergyman fees. . The law ought to control early marriages in some way, as few words of advice from an official who would supply the want of common sense in lovesick cou- ples might deter them before it is too late and save years of misery and a wanton production of consumptive and anaemic children"

The bishop of London has been busi- ly securing his parishes since his ap- pointment, and lately preached in one of London's big prisons. The bishops way of encouraging the ill-doers to strive after well-doing is sometimes novel. Human nature always reminds me" he said on one recent visit, "of the story of the two frogs who fell into pot of cream. One of them soon gave the struggle up as bad job and with out much ado sunk to the bottom. The other. striking out with all his legs, and persevering, eventually found himself resting upon a pat of butter churned by his own efforts to get his head above the level of the cream"

The Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs the other day made an important state nent in regard to the Dutch Red Cross Ambulance corps now prisoners in Cey- lon. No neutral Red Cross ambulance, he declared, had ever occupied a more important position than the Dutch am- bulance in South Africa, obliged as it was to operate both on the field of bat tie and in territory occupied by the other belligerent. The members of the ambulance were, therefore. bound to observe strictly the most correct at- titude, and it must be admitted with regret that the Roster ambulance had failed in this respect. Apart altogether from the contents of the Boer letters which it had carried the fact alone, acknowledge by M. Roster, that letters had been carried, could with difficulty be defended. Even if the letters were without importance, M. Roster could not know before hand that useful infor- nation might not be conveyed to the Boer lines through that medium

The weekly output of pig-iron in the United States on February 1, according to the Iron Age, was 340,612 tons break ing all records and comparing with 27S,25S tons at the same date last year. and 324, ,761 tons in December, when pro- duction reached it's highest point for 1901. Present production is at the rate of about 1S,O00,000 tons a year, or more than 2000, ,000 tons over last years rec ord-breaking output. At the same time stocks of pig-iron at furnaces are steadily being drawn down, amounting only to 5420O tons on February 1, as compared with 556,764 tons on hand year ago. Thus, unprecedented as is production, consumption of iron is even larger.
