CANARY BIRD PRICES ARE UP
Feathered songsters That Are Sc
Much Prlzed Come From Ger
many, Not the Canary islands,.

Those who may have been under
the impression that canary birds inn
ported into this country come from
the Canary islands will suffer a severe
disillusionment at this time, especial
ly if the family believes that a canary
bird is needed, and someone proceeds
to buy" a canary. The fact is, that
In times of peace canary birds come
from the Hartz mountains in Germany
where they are bred by the peasants
in garrets and spare rooms Of their
cottages. One New York firm alone
imports 100000 canaries annually.
At present no canaries can be
bought in the bird stores because OF
the blockade of German ports. Ordi
narily these birds sell for fifteen tc
thirty dollars a dozen. The individual
bird is sold on his merits, as indicated
by his looks and his voice. The fe
male canary is a poor singer and sells
for half the price of the male. The
birds sing best between the ages OF
a haIf-year and six years. Frequently
they live to be twelve years old.
The bird dealers also suffer from
lack of cages for other birds. The
canary is shipped in individual wood
en- cages made in Germany and is
sent in lots of one to five hundred
These birds have to be fed daily on
canary seed and hard boiled eggs as
well as given fresh water. A skilled
attendant has to accompany them on
the voyage and frequently a young
peasant earns his travelling expenses
to this country in that manner.

Kaiser Has 1000 Uniforms.

There was more bitterness than ap.
pears on the surface, perhaps, in the
kaiser's intimatioh to the British am
bassador that he would never again
wear British uniform. For no man
loves uniform more or possesses a
larger number Of them than the Ger
man emperor. Not only does he hold
innumerable official offices in his own
dominion, each of which requires a
special uniform, but he also holds
or did until recently-honorary rank
in every European army and navy
save that Of France. In all, his uni
forms total 5000, and he employs
head valet with a dozen underlings to
take care Of them. Each of these men
is an expert on military uniform, for
it is no light task to remember the
accessories in the way Of swords, epau-
let's, helmets, sashes, etc, and the en-
peror insists on accuracy in the min
utest detail

ArtlIIery COMPANY chooses ofIioera.

Artillery Company Chooses Officers.
The Honorable Artillery company,
whose ranks are now full, is the only
military body over which parliament
has no control. It is governed under
numerous royal warrants and the
crown appoints its chief. At one time
the company claimed absolutely the
right Of electing their own captain
general; the corporation endeavored
to reduce this right to the privilege of
presenting three candidates to the
lord mayor and aldermen, and from
these the final choice should be made.
The privy council was called in to de-
eide the question, and compromise
resulted. To the company was given
the right Of choosing their officers, to
the corporation the choice Of presi-
dent, while to the crown was reserved
the right OF nominating the captain
general. London Chronicle.
