Order of the Golf.

Sentiment and business are pretty
much divorced at the auction mart
Consequently when old Serjeants' Inn
was brought to the hammer yesterday
the legal fraternity was content to let
the Spectators have his way. 1t mat
tered not that the serjeants at law
used to have their home at the Fleet
street end of Chancery lane, and that
there they jealousy guarded the rights
OF the order of the Golf. That order
belongs to the past. Lord Lindley. in
oeed, Is believed to be it's only sur
vlVing member. Moreover the satel-
lltes of the Inns of Court have long
since had their day. One after an
other they have disappeared, save and
except in name. At least one Of them
mas been plowed up to make room for
new streets. Others have become the
quiet retreat of solicitors and their
clerks. who doubtless find that bills Of
costs add up more easily within their
recesses than in noisy main thorough
fares. Altogether these small inns
nave lost the halo which once chung
around them, and, like old Serjeants'
Inn. have resolved themselves mainly
INTO questions of site values. OF this
particular property, which was nut
forward as being "all meat and no
bone" it should be said that it is
part Ofthe estate of the late Mr. Ser
jeant Cox, and that the bishops of Elv

RoUMANiAN WHEAT CROP.

Consul General Norman Hutchinson
of bucharest report that theETAOIN
mical station of Herestrau, of Rou-
mania. has submitted it's report to the
minister of agriculture upon the wheat
.rop of this year, which is summarized
rs follows:
Contrary to previous reports, the
crop of 1908 is even less satisfactory
han the crop of 1907. sOwing to the dry
less of 1907 the cultivators planted $50,
700 hectares (hectare equals 2.47 acres)
ess this year, the total being 1,75O, 900
hectares. The excessive dryness of the
arly part of this year hindered the
roper development of the wheat, also
fastening its maturity, the nar>es,
commencing at least ten days earlier

lary, reaching not more than 2SO0O.-

Il general the wheat of this year is
ieavy. clear and good aspect A re-
markable point is that 25 per cent more

Corn, barley, oats and rye are re-
aorted as making a good showing all
over the country, and the beet crop is
sufficient for the demand of the coun-

Chicaoo's Hospitals.

Not a hospital in Chicago has received
it's license to operate from the city this
year, though the permits should have
been issued on May l. No alarm is shown
by the city officials over the situation. as
they declare that no complaints are to
be made against most of the hospitals
and that no serious charge is made
against any of them. Each of the two
hundred and fifty institutions in the city
will undergo the most rigorous inspection
it has ever experienced. Sixteen physi-
clans under DR.. George c. Hunt. chief OF
the city hospital and ambulance service
have been working practically day and
night for weeks, making the inspections.
Their reports are expected to be completed
soon and the licenses for all the institu-
lions will be issued simultaneously by the
city collector.
Since the last licenses were issued a
new ordinance for the regulation of hos
pitfalls has been drawn by DR.. w. A.
Evans, Health Commissioner and has
been passed by the Council. Many of it's
requirements are drastic and require rad
ical changes in institutions which have
existed for years. Under the terms of
homes sanitoriums, refugees, creches and
all such institutions are defined as amen
able to the same regulations as are the
ordinary hospital. They are being in
'spected and reported upon.
Every hospital must have morgues
Those which receive~s maternity cases
must have a resident physician constant
ly present. In the past some institutions
have not filled these requirements. The
amount of air space which must be pro-
vided for every patient is changed
structural features are different and
countless other details must be attended
to by the inspectors. The regular ambu-
lance surgeons are making the inspec-
ton and receive no extra pay from the
city for the large amount of additional
work.-Chicago Daily News.

German Canary Birds.

One of the largest exporters of canary
birds in Germany estimates that there
are fully 100000 Gagged birds in the United
States and that the exports of singers
and breeders to this country are not
less than 100000 a year, the wholesale
price of Harz mountain birds in Germany
being about 70 cents for males and II
cents for females.
AS the ordinary mouse bird will eat
about Is pounds of seed in a year, at an
average cost of $780, this luxury repre-
SCENTS an outlay Tor maintenance some
thing like $7.50O,0OO per annum.
This merchant further says: '1t is a
fortunate thing for the breeder that the
birds do not live long in the United
States If this were not the case our ex-
pert would soon be at an end. l have OBJ
served that the proposition has been
made on different occasions that the
breeding of canaries in great quantities
in the United States might be profitable,
hut in my Judgment this would prove a
failure. For breeding purposes Germany
is the most favorable place in the world
especially is this so in the country
where every farmer and workman has
his small house, and for that reason has
room to breed the birds. We buy from
these people. Furthermore, German
breeders as a rule are not too ambitious
as to profits. A good deal of skill, luck
and care is absolutely necessary in order
to be successful breeder. The American
would not be satisfied with the small pro-
fit arising from the breeding and, on the
other hand, the demand would cease
with the increase of prices
