SNEAK THIEVES BUSY.

Two robberies have been committed
in the city during the past week. one
Saturday night and one Sunday morn,
ing, and probably by the same parties.
Saturday night thieves entered Sam
Cornell's pool and carried off
a quantity of cigars and about one
dollar in small change. In selecting
the cigars the thieves expressed a de
cided preference for S. F. Walters
new brand, THE Red Feather" that
being the only kind taken.
Sunday morning between eleven and
twelve o'clock someone entered the
home of James Nolan in west Brook
lgs and after making a hurried search,
carried away about twenty dollars
which was concealed in one Of the
rooms. There was something like
$500 in the house at the time, but
the thief, in his haste to get away,
overlooked it. The family were at
church at the time and all the doors
had been left unlocked. There is no
clue so far to the guilty parties OF
either robbery. but it was probably
the work Of someone who found them
selves short after Christmas.

1raiNino Canniss.

In the canary breeding esta blish-
ments Of Germany only the male birds
are valued, because the females never
sing. The method Of training the birds
10 sing Is to put them In a room where
there is an automatic whistle. which
they all strive to initiate. The breeder
listens to the efforts Of the birds and
picks out the most apt pupils. which
are then placed in another room for
further instruction. These are tho best
singers and ultimately fetch high
prices.
