their business they become stranded, and
were it not for the temporary home they
would De perforce sent to the almshouse or
the workhouse.
Senator Burkett suggested that the eS-
tabliShment of such modern and attrac-
tive home as is proposed might prove to be
an indueement for many OF the veterans
who are now comfortably cared for in the
national and state soldiers homes to flock
to Washington.
To this Captain Mitchell replied that such
an influx would be obviated by the tenn
porary character of the institution. Sol
diers are allowed to remain there only for
a short period of time, he said; therefore 1t
would hardly be indueement for them
TO come to the capital when they knew their
stay here would be of but brief duration.
Mrs. Lizzie Calver described the con-
ditions at the present home and declared
that the new quarters had become a press
ing necessity. In justice to the men who
offered their lives as sacrifice to their
country. Mrs. Calver exclaimed. the bill
should be passed.
The statement was made to the committee
that the United Spanish War Veterans at
their last encampment at Milwaukee, and
by a rising vote, favored the proposed home
as a matter of justice, not charity. to the
American fighting men of 1851 to 1865. as
well as the younger soldiers of 1898.
Captain Maxim Colonel Bradshaw and
Colonel Chase made statements in support
of the measure and the subcommittee took
the matter under advisement

first note and ceased exactly as the last
was sounded.
The greatest demand for oanaries begins
about August and approaches the Christmas
holidays as a climax. The season ends
along in March.
The price Of the canary depends upon its
approach 10 the ideal bird Of its breed, but
the females are usually cheaper than the
males. From 81 to SIS is the range Of for
most canaries, but exceptional individuals
may bring as much as $50.
Goldflnch mules, crosses between the
canary and goldnnch species, often bring
500 a dozen in this city. Good birds can be
bought for from $3.50 20 SO. The highest
prices are paid for the st. Andreasberg

A canary is a small finch, named after
the Canary Islands, whence it was intro
