HENRI MURGER'S COATS.
ID Is Hard tn Say In which He Was

A pleasant incident OF the penuriOus

by French writer. Murger when In

invited to a party at the house or a
publisher at which it was OF great I'm

Unfortunately he possessed only one
suit OF clothes, which was In the last
stage OF shabbiness He therefore ap-

friend, not ovcrwillingly, lent him the
old one. IL was too small for him and
very shiny At the seams, but by lib-
cral use Of Ink he managed to make II
pass muster and attended the party
Unfortunately The friend was there
too. and IN great anxiety over his coat
followed Murger about the room with
such remarks as Don't stand so up-
right. You will split my coat or "for
heavens sake, mind what you are do
ing with that coffee. You are splash

shortly aftcrward similar occasion
arrived Murger determined that moth

same coat. Accordingly he went to an
other friend and related the whole cir
cumstance. This friend willingly lent
him a new black coat which fitted ad-
mlrably. But matters were not I'm
proved after all, for the lender was at
the party and followed Murger every

GERMANY'S BLACK LETTER.

"It is remarkable that so practical n

CANARY BIRDS.

The Finest oC Them Are Rnised In
the IIars Mountains.
The chief breeding ground for cana
ries was formerly the lInr2 noun
talns. but of late years only the finest
singers are reared in that district. The
trade was transferred tO Eichsfeldc,
In the province of Hanover where poor
weavers breed the cheaper sort. The
most important market for these gold
on birds is the United States. which
takes quite 100000 birds year. Great
Britain comes next, with some 10000,
and Is followed by Brazil, Chile and
the Argentine Republic.
The principal dealers have large fac
tories which can turn ont material for
1000 bird cages daily. The peasants
take this away TO their homes and
there make up the cages. Attendants,
who each have charge of 1000 birds In
separate cages, take cannries across
the Atlantic and on their return voy-
age bring back Mexican and Cuban
parrots for the Europeen markets.
About 900 0O0 cauarIcs are bred ev-
cry year in Germany, and their value,
some C50OOO, goes chiefly into the
pockets of the peasants. London Telc.
