New Work Letter in Pittsburg Gazette.
 Teaching birds to sing, the new wrinkle adopted by the London fan clers, is soon to be tried in this city. They find they can demand larger price for members of the feathery tribe, which can warble tunes that sound like Be delia." "Hiawatha," or the other popu- ular airs. A young girl Is placed near the cage and plays the flute by the hour A bird at first takes no notice of the strange, tremulous whistling notes, and it requires much patience on the part of the teacher. After some time the bird begins to repeat the first bar. That Is the cue for the teacher. and the air is taken up on the flute where the bird stops. and gradually. bar by bar, the bird is taught the full tune. bulfnch Is said to be the easiest to teach to sing, and when they are declared profit cient they have market value of from $50 to s100.

 Do you mean to say l should have to begin all over again?' he asked
