ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR s.Rps.
Lensthens Their Day, Giving Them
More Time for Feeding.


Winter has always proved trying
time for rare and delicate birds In the
geological gardens. One interesting
theory has been advanced, that owing
to the long nights in these attitudes
In winter the poor birds do not feed
long enough during the day to keep
body and soul together" In the old
insect house some good was effected
by inducing the birds to feed before
dawn with the aid of a powerful motor
lamp which was placed there an hour
In the winter.
In the new small birdhouse, says the
London Daily Mail, an elaborate In
candescent gaslight installation has
just been completed. 1t is controlled
from outside and at six o'clock in the
morning Waterman switches on the
lights.
Immediately a chorus q songs
breaks out from the aroused birds.
which start breakfast Immediately.
This extra feeding time has already
produced good results in the shape of
improved condition of the birds Of par
adise, mynahs and other rare tropical
birds in the house.

AGE NO MARK OF DISCRETION
New York Police Statistics Prove a
Most LamentabIe Fact.

A woman shoplifter who had passed
the Psalmist's allotted period, and
who had long record of offenses be-
hind her, was sent to prison again the
other day, and in the printed accounts
much was made of her years, as If age
and misdemeanor were strangers. AS
matter of fact, among women, youth
and disdemeanor are strangers If, we
make the test of the matter the fact
of falling into the laws clutches.
More than half the women offenders
Of New York are classified in the re-
port Of the state prison commission
as "middle-aged or elderly women. "
OF the 6,644 women sentenced to the
Blackwell's Island workhouse during
the last year, 3,463 were more than
80 years Old About one in Is Of the
number were legal minors. Disorder
ly conduct and public intoxication &C
counted for all but a few hundreds OF
the entire number.
There Is really no surprise in these
figures, for the spectacle OF gray hairs
without honor is not unfamiliar in any
of our small parks. 1t would be su.
perfluous to point the moral-and

Birmingham. If Birmingham stands for

tinent, it is the supremacy of man.
ufacturing interests.
MIR. Underwood in truth has con-
fided to some of his friends that he
might endanger his political life by
his stand for real tariff revision, but
he would go thru with 1t. Free traders
In congress regard him as protec-
zionist, and protectionists call him a
free traders in many cases. Mr.. Under
wood himself in recent speech de-
clared that he was a demo- a be-
lever in tariff for revenue with the
duties SO distributed that incidentally
they should encourage American in
dustry. This is rather a popular dem
ocratic attitude nowadays.
Underwood is widely accounted the
handsomest man in congress. He is 46
years old, born in Kentucky, educated
in Virginia, a southerner and an aris-
tocrat in every inch of him, and has
been eight or nine times elected to
the house from the Birmingham dis
trict. He is looked upon as one of the
most promising pieces of senatorial
timber in the house. He is an excellent
speaker and debater, a fine parlia-
mentarian, good lawyer, and despite
his local interests at Birmingham
(which make his pathway as a tariff
revisionist thorny, he has been so alb
solutely loyal to the leadership of
Champ Clark that he commands the
latter's complete confidence.

Work for the Unemployed.

Lack Of employment is not a new
question. Says the Liverpool Mercury
Of February Ia, 1872: "It is OF the
highest importance that q. COMMITTEES
of the legislature should Immediately
inquire into the causes of the present
want OF employment among the labor
ing classes. and whether means might
not be found in q nation Of which the
revenue is immense by which . sue.
cession of public works." etc.. etc.
There were atthat time. nearly 100 years
ago, 10000 unemployed in Liverpool.
The same writer, after asking: .Is
war the only employment that the
state has to give the poor?" goes on to
show that the pyramids Of Egypt and
the elegant ediflces of Greece" were
built with the object Of giving con.
tinual employment to the laborer."

Quotations at Various Livestock
Centers.

Chicago, April 21.-Heavy receipts
were the feature of the livestock mar
kets today, and the arrival of about
1900 cattle forced prices down 10
cents at the opening for all except the
very choicest.
Continued depression in beef trade,
both in local and eastern quarters, is
a hindrance to any permanent inn
provement in the market values and
the trade is now in such condition as
demands marketing Of only small vol
ume for the next few weeks. However
the country does not appear in a mood
to ship freely, present prices for the
good to choice heavy steers not being
on basis which encourages liberal
marketing. Feeders who have the corn
seem inclined to feed on in hopes of a
turn for the better in the market sit
uation, but with those whose corn sup
plies are running short and who on
buying are forced to pay a high price
there seems a continued tendency to
cut loose and save buying the feed.

a little stimulus. They welcome a

no immediate use
Hogs.
Hogs held generally steady despite
receipts estimated at 10000 head. The
bulk of the sales were made at $40
to $40
Judging from the small supply on
most days it looks as if the country
was cutting down receipts to get the
market back to the high mark that was
paid week ago. With such light re-
ceipts even in the face of a diminished
demand buyers can hardly hope to hold
the market down. Less than 10000
hogs were received here during the first
two days this week. against $4,000 last
week, and $4,000 year ago.
Sheep.
The arrival of $4,000 forced sheep
prices down 10 cents.

THE DUTY ON CORN.
[Sac Sun. ]

The Sun is unable to see what adj
vantage will accrue to the American
farmer in an increase of duty on corn
from Is cents a bushel to 90 cents a
bushel. as is proposed in the senate tar
if bill. The American farmer has no
serious competitor in corn raising, and
there never has been and never will be
any attempt to import corn into this
country. 1t is not probable that the en-
tire removal of the duty would affect
the price of corn in the least or that
an increase of duty to SO cents BUSH
ell would tell in the markets. AS long
as the production of wheat in this
country is sufficient to meet the te-
mands Of home consumption, the duly
on wheat is Of little consequence to the
farmer. but the United States has COM
petitors in the matter of wheat raising
dangerous competitors-and the pro-
tective policy in this case is properly
applicable, tho it is doubtful whether
the farmers have been clamoring for
an increase of the duty of cents when
it is already 25 cents bushel. To this
writer it looks as if some of the items
of the tariff schedules We're meant to
fool somebody and to cover up or offset
Objectionable items in other schedules.
THAT GRANDsTAND AGAIN.
[Eldora Herald.]
The rural press of Iowa seems to be
of the opinion that the foolest thing
done by the last legislature was the
voting of 100000 for a grandstand for
the state fair grounds which will he
used six days out of the. year and the
rest of the time be left to the tender
mercies of the elements. 1t was sup
posed to have been built for the benefit
of the people from the rural districts
over the state. but any one who has
ever been in Des Moines knows that it
will be filled up with Des Moines peo-
pie long before the farmer gets his
cows MIXED, his pigs stopped or his
automobile filled with gasoline to go tc
town to see the fair The only way an
out-of-town man can get into the
grandstand is to take his pajamas and
go sleep in the place and be on the in
side when the door is opened

He was told to get busy on one end. of

How High a Tiger Can Jum,.

For the benefit OF the prospective
big game hunters a correspondent
finally disposes Of the theory that a

"by letting go with my right and ram

The moral evidently is that when

tree with its lowest branch at least
16 feet from the ground.
