learning by imitation for the most
part. acquire bad singing as we'll as
good. and while it is the plan of the
breeders that the birds should hear
only the good singing of the "Vor-
sangers,'' some of them naturally
chirp and whistle in an undesirable
manner. and care must be taken that
these are removed before their COM
rades have acquired from them the
same bad habit and are rendered un-
salable. The art of the breeder lies in
his ability to discover the slumbering
talent in the bird at an early age and
develop 1t to its highest possibilities
Some birds show an exceptional tall
ent for trilling. while others are re-
markable for the beauty and variety
of their song The birds are divided
rooms. those having harsh and sharp
voices being often placed in covered
cages, where, instead of singing them
selves, they are forced to listen to 9TH
er good singers. through which their
faults are often overcome. The better
singers. after passing a certain stage,
where their ha bits are established ana
they do not require the close dairy
into a room reserved for the best
singers. The elementary training for
the singer is generally finished by the
end OF November, and the singing is
at it's best at the beginning of January
and again after the mating time.
The canary is in every way house
bird and some people. with good in
tentions of giving the bird a little
fresh air, make a serious mistake by
hanging the cage out of the window
on the first warm spring day. The
bird is not used to the outside air. as
he and his ancestors have been raised
for centuries in the house, and the
only result of this we'll intended kind
ness is a cold, which results in partial,
if not entire loss of the voice. Can
aries are very sensitive to drafts. and
some singers, the results of years of
careful breeding and training, have
been ruined by a few moments ex-
posture at an open window.-New

MEXICAN COFFEE.
Experience Of New England Woman
Near Vera Cruz.

There are two varieties of coffee
raised in Mexico. That which thrives
best on the temperate tablelands is
called by the natives arabica, and is
mUch like rccoha. 1t is easil1 infect
ed by the weather and is neither as
thrifty nor as prolific as the hot coun-
try variety, which resembles Java cof-
fee.
LAS my farm is in Vera Cruz it is
this hot country coffee that I cultivate
and know most about. 1t is best pro-
pagated by seed, which are planted in
beds under cultivated trees" said a
feminine coffee planter to Ne7 X"EE
Sun representative.
The coffee plant seldom blossoms
before its third year. At that time its
foliage is a vivid green, the blooms
and subsequent berries growing along
the stems in clusters. The blooms are
more like jasmine blossoms than any
flower here, and sweeter, more frag-
rant, than the flower of the orange.
THE coffee berry is at first glossy
green, then brown, and finally dark
crimson. F:ck:ng, which must aIwasS
be done by hand, is a slow and tedlous
process, rs each berry must be picked
separately, and dropped into the bag
or basket which the picker carries sus-
pended around his neck As a rule
the coffee pickers in Mexico are peon
women and children. The pay is rs
cents in Mexican money. Wh1ch
amounts to about II cents In United
States currency. for each basket or
bag OF 15 pounds
TAT present about the only problem
that the coffee planter of Mexico has
to face is that of labor. The Mexican
poems are very much like. the Ameri-
can negro. and, while people from the
Southern states find them easy enough
to get on with, those who have lived
in the North. especially in New Eng
land. are harder TO please.
while the peon will only work
when he feels like it. he requires that
Won treat him with. the utmost consid-
Grafton and dignity They are the most
independent people III the world and
are always suspicious of the gringos.
as they call all white people. The
neon may be without a place to lay
his mead ard half-starving. but he will
not work for gringo he dislikes.
"Some of the largest coffee planters
are solving this problem by importing
Chinese coolies. The Celestial. by rea-
son of his energy, industry and ager-
ness to save money is about as salts
factory a servant as could be asked.
Perfectly content to work year in and
year out with never a day off or a holt
day to celebrate. he is as cheap as the
peon and has no exalted ideas of his
own dignity"

MUST BE STOPPED.
Emptying of Sewage Into Streams
VIII BE Prohibited.

An order absolutely prohibiting the
emptying of sewage into the rivers
and streams of the state, and reQuir-
ing all cities to construct septic tanks,
may be issued at the Kansas state
board of health.
If such an order Is issude, 1t would
probably provide that the emptying
of sewers into streams must cease
within five years time. 1t would mean
that nearly every city in the state
would be obliged to reconstruct its
sewer system to connect with septic
tanks instead of streams. The expense
of constructing septic tanks in a city
the size of Topeka or Kansas City
would be very large.
The reason for such a drastic order
! sthat the boar dof health is getting
evidence which seems to indicate that
the water of Kansas streams is being
much polluted, an dthat only by ceas-
ing the emptytng OF sewage into
streams ca nthis pollution be stopped.
The streams are used either directly
or indirectly as the source OF the wa
ter supply Of most cities. Examina-
lions made by the engineers and
chemists who are making the exami-
nation Of Kansas streams for the
United tSates government show that
there are at least g towns in Kan
sas where the water contains too
much organic matter for safety.
One of the towns where the condi-
tons are said to be very serious Is
Concoroia. The Republican river
changed its course at Concordia and
left the sewers sticking out on sand
bars. The hot weather has made the
aandbars where the sewage empties a
most foul and unhealthy spot, and IT
Is feared that the city water may be-
come contaminated. The city council
Is figuring on turning the river back
into Its old channel, but thus far moth
ing has been done. DR.. Crumbine ex-
poets to go to Concordia in a few
days to investigate the situation, and
he may order Concordia to construct
septic tanks at once for disposinR of
the city sewage. The county and CITY
health officer. DR.. A. r. Narcotic. has
communicated with DR.. Crumbine
and says that he is powerless to re-
lieve the situation, and wants the state
to help.
Up to the present time, no recent
analyses have been made of the civ
water of Topeka. Samples of the civ
water here were taken few days ago
and semitic the university laboratories
A meteorological examination will
ais ODE made, and the results an
nounced. 1t is only a short time ago
that the state board of health had
Topeka water analysed and II was
pronounced all right.

THEN SHE BEGAN WORK
Used Her Receipt to Obtain Loans
from Many Banks.


With the receipt of Reynolds in her
possession Mrs. Chadwick went to
different banks and many capitalists
making loans, and paying not only
high interest to the banks but heavy
bonuses to the bank officials who
loaned her the money. The extent of
these transactions will never be full
ly known, but they ran up into the
millions. They involved men of high
standing in the financial world, and
caused heavy losses to many banks.
In November. 1904, she was sued by
man named Newton, of Brooklina,
Mass, from whom she had borrowed
n large amount which she was unable
to pay. Olher creditors came down
upon her, and within short time she
was placed under arrest by the federal
authorities on the charge of conspir-
ing with Charles Beckwith, the presi.
dent. and A. b. Spear, of a national
bank Mt Obcrlin., O.. which had been
substantially looted Mrs. Chadwick
had obtained from this institution such
large sums Of money that it was com
PEELED to close its doors. causing heavy
losses to the depositors and luinin,
many of them.
Mrs. Chadwick, Beckwith and Spear
were indicted for n variety of offenses
against the national banking laws.
Bccllwitll died before coming to trial
Spear pleaded guilty, was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary. and
is now serving time here. Mrs. Chad

Pennsylvania a Horrible Example.

Pennsylvania is convincing ar
gument against the practice Of keep.
ing the same political party in pow
er for long term Of years.
For the past forty years Pennsyl-
vania has been as overwhelmingly
republican as it's public officials have
been brazenly dishonest and corrupt.
"The keystone Crime" by Owen
Wister, in Everybody's Magazine
for October, is a brief history Of Off
cial dishonesty in Pennsylvania
without a parallel in any state or
country.
"The Government of Pennsylva-
nia," says Mr.. Wister, ''has been,
since the civil war, monopoly, an
enormous trust, almost without COM
petition, like Standard Oil, but in
ferior, because Standard Oil gives
good oil, while the. Pennsylvania
machine gives bad government.
But, continues Mr.. Wister, do not
pity them. They deserve everything
they get, for Pennsylvania is today,
aygovernment by knaves at the ex-
pense of fools.'

Naval Wireless Telephony.
From the Scientific American.


The Navy Department is supple

ships with wireless telephony; it is
hoped that all the battleships which
are to start in December for the Pa

have been installed on the "Connec-

ications have passed between them
at distance of twenty-five miles.
Ships which were equipped with
wireless biography but not wireless
telephony could distinctly hear
through an ordinary telephone re-
ceiver what was said in the trans
mitter aboard another ship. Mr..
De Forest, who is overseeing the in
Sstallation, when on the Connect
cut" talked into the transmitter of
the wireless telephone, and the oper-
ators on the Kentucky" and ''Illi-
nois," although those ships we're not
equipped with wireless telephones,
attached telephone receivers to the
wireless telegraph instrument and
heard distinctly conversational tones
