AMERICAN NIGHTINGALES.
HOW MOCKING BIRDS ARB RAISED
AND SOLD.
Half a Thousand of the Songsters In
One Cage—How to Raise Them
and Get the Rest Results.
No bird in featherdom enjoys a
greater popularity than the mocking
bird. It is the king—the great artist of
the feathered musicians. Washington
has lately been made the supply centre,
and every week hundreds of the “Ameri
can nightingales,” as they are sometimes
called, are shipped all over the country.
Tne birds never were so cheap, and a
good songster may now be had for the
same price as a canary.
To learn something of the mocking
bird a reporter of the Star visited the
bird man and found him busily engaged
opening a crate of birds just from
Texas.
The crate was a peculiarly constructed
concern, contrived after a great deai of
experience in shipping birds. It con
sisted of a long flat box, with an apex
shaped cover of stout cotton. The in
terior arrangement was novel. At each
end there was an automatic feeding water
cup, while the food troughs were located
on each side, the contents being held in
place by a wire netting. The birds could
peck the food out from between the in
terstices of the netting, while the latter,
on account of its density, could not
shake out. The birds were lively and
looked none the worse for their long
journey. Forty-six was the number the
box contained, and when shortly after
ward they were tranferred to the big
cage the bird man’s stock in trade of
mocking birds numbered 672. As soon
as the birds had been transferred the
bird man turned to the reporter.
“So you would like to know some
thing about mocking birds. Well, to
begin with, it is my favorite bird and
rivals the far-famed Euglish nightin
gale. “The mocking bird, you know,”
said the bird man, as he pushed a par
rot’s head from between the bars of its
cage, where it had been caught, “is a
thorough-blood American. He comes
mostly from the Southern States,nlthough
he has been found in New England.
His plumage is not beautiful, but his
homeliness in this regard is lost sight of
when you hear his wonderful voice. Ho
commences to sing when about two
months old. The first notes are weak,
but the little musician, becomes bolder
with age, and continues to improve in
voice until he has passed three summers,
when it is claimed he is in full song. No
music was ever sweeter than the mock
ing bird’s as he pours forth his melodi
ous strains in his native element. When
he is caged his voice assumes a certain
harshness now and then which he learns
from his habitation among men. He is
a great mimic and imitates a buzz saw
as well as a crowing rooster. He is very
docile when raised by hand and can
easily be taught tricks as well as tunes.
Only the male bird sings. That is the
rule, although the female has on
rare occasions been known to sing al
most as well.
“The great difficulty buyers experience
is in obtaining a male. It is not easy
to distinguish the Sexes so closely do
they resemble each other. A Bhrewd
Connecticut man some years ago adver
tised that for ten cents in stamps
he would disclose a method where
by any one could immediately tell
the difference between a male and a
female mocking bird. A great many
people invested. I did among them.
When the reply came in this is what I re
ceived printed on a slip of pink paper
‘Take two birds and put them in a cage.
Then get a worm. Carefully open the
cage door, being sure not to frighten the
birds, and throw the worm in. Now
watch carefully. If he gets it it's ahe
and if she gets it it’s a she.’ It was a
great sell.
“The only way I know of to distin
guish between the sexes is by the mark
ing of the wings. Catch your bird
firmly by the body in the left hand and
spread out the wings. A perfectly
marked male is called a four-feather
bird. That is commencing at the upper
side of the wing, if you can count four
white feathers without any splashes of
black the bird is a male. It is not neces
sary for a bird to have four white fcath
era to be a male, as three indicate the
same thing, but it is absolutely necessary
for the feathers to be perfectly free from
black splashes. A word about feeding
and then I must leave you. Mocking
birds are hardy and with care live to a
good age. The diet must.be carefully
looked after. Prepared food is excel
lent and I use it altogether, alternating,
however, with a little carrot mixed in it
or a mixture of hard-boiled egg and
potato. A meal worm is good now and
then, and berries, when in season, are
very good. I forgot to mention one
thing which is absolutely necessary to
oven a brief description of the mocking
bird, and that is this Not a day passes
but some person brings a bird back, de
claring that it is a female and won’t
sing. This is the breeding season and
for two weeks they don’t sing to any ex
tent. The only other time •' they are
silent is in the moulting season.”— lfTrwl

Largest Farm iu the World.
There is a farm in the southwest of
Louisiana measuring 100 miles north and
south and twenty-five miles east and
west. The 1,500,000 acres of which it
is made up were purchased seven years
ago from the State of Louisiana and from
the L T nited States Government by a syn
dicate of northern capitalists, by which
it is now farmed. This immense tract is
now divided into convenient pasture sta
tions or ranches, the fencing alone hav
ing cost $50,000. All the cultivating,
ditching, etc-, are done by steam power,
a tract of about half a mile wide being
taken and an engine placed on each side.
The company has three steamboats upon
the 300 miles of navigable waters which
traverse their estate, and also possesses a
ship yard, a bank and rice mills.—Com

WISE WORDS.
When suspicion is awakened doubt
aroused.
That is the safest policy which insure*
success.
A ray of hope makes the prospect
brighter.
Everyone can master a grief but he
that has it.
Better three hours too soon than one
minute too late.
Give greed an opportunity and it will
take advantage.
They lean to the side of virtue who are
rightly inclined.
Ambition looks for opportunity; en
ergy helps to find it.
The weak may be joked out of any
thing but their weakness.
If the temper must be rutiled let the
reason for it be made plain.
Let insult be added to injury and dif
ficulties will begin to multiply.
Nothing is so credulous as vanity, or
so ignorant of what becomes itself.
Youth is the season of hope, enter

It is a good plan to say as little as pos
sible about that of which one knows ab
solutely nothing.
The two best rules for a system of
rhetoric are, first, have something to say,
and, next, say it.
What we wish to do we think we can
do, but when we do not wish to do a
thing it becomes impossible.
If cleanliness is next to godliness,
then sanctity must occupy an isolated po
sition in a slothful person’s lot in file.
Time is the greatest of all tyrants. As
we go on toward age he taxes our
health, limbs, faculties, strength and
features.
Society is the atmosphere of souls,
and we necessarily imbibe from it some
thing which is cither infectious or
healthful.
Making Beef Extract.
We may, for convenience, divide the
factory into three departments: First,
pressing; second, bottling, and third,
finishing. To the first of these, supplies
of the choicest parts of the ox are brought
in the morning of every working day
straight from the shambles. It is at
once cut up into succulent steaks, each
of which get a slight sprinkling of table
salt, is then inclosed in anew muslm
bag and an outer canvas bag, and with
dozens more is placed between the per
forated metallic plates of an hydraulic
press. _
When the company commenced work
they were content with a press which
took a charge of about 100 steaks at a
time, but they have had to meet a greater
consumption than was anticipated, so
that lately they have installed an exceed
ingly powerful press, which would do
perfectly for making bales of cotton,
and this is tested to give a pressure of
400 tons.
When the pile of steaks is put on the
receiver the whole is surrounded with a
jacket (iced in tho summer) and the
pressure applied.
We need not follow the process too
minutely; it is so simple. The juice as
it is collected is mixed with an innocu
ous preservative, set aside for a month to
clear, and then transferred to the bottling
department. Here the liquor is filled in
to bottles by a siphon arrangement, so
that the liquid comes into contact with
as little air as possible; and the bottles
when filled are transferred to a separate
building, where they are corked, cap
suled, labeled and boxed.
Our traveler observed that a girl ex
amined each bottle before it was passed
on to the capsuler, and any one which
showed aspect of suspended matter or
was in the least cloudy was set aside.
It was explained that this is part of
the principle of the manufacture 1 the
liquor is the pure juice of beef, and ia
order that it may keep, the most rigid
attention must be given to exclude for
eign matter from it, and as far as our
representative could judge, the principle
was adherod to throughout. And what
becomes of the pressed steaks? Well,
they are like cardboard when they coma
out of the press and as dry as a stick.—.

Von Moltke and the Brave Boya.
One day Moltke stopped at a boarding
school kept by a person in a village near
his Silesian country scat, and sat down
to hear the teacher instruct the scholars
—mostly young nobles preparing for the
army—on the wars of France and
Prussia. The clergyman being called
away for & moment, Moltke asked to be
allowed to take his place. Before long
he asked one of the pupils, “Who, do
you think, was Napoleon’s best general?”
“lily graud uncle,” your excellency,
Marshal Ney, Prince of the Moskwa,”
was the answer. Turning to another boy,
he asked, “And who was the bravest
of Prussian generals in the same war?”
“My grand uncle, Marshal Prince
Blucher,” said he. There was also a
descendant of General Zieten among
them. When the clergyman returned,
Moltke said, with a humorous glance at
his own plain civilian dress, “Oh, my
dear Herr Pastor, you should have told
me before that I was to find such famous
generals represented here.” He invited
all the boys to visit him at Kresau, and
gave them a most hospitable reception.

A Reclaimed Desert.
The Russian explorer, Mr. Grum-Grzi
mailo, who has been traveling in Central
Asia, says that the oasis of Turfau, iti
Tianghan, once the bed of a great lake,
is a reclaimed desert. Being without
water it is irrigated by the inhabitants,
who have excavated a system of under
ground canals and wells some 300 feet
deep. These canals collect the under
ground water and convey it to the sur
face in the lower lands. The works are
so colossal that the members of the ex
ploring party could only compare them f
with those of ancient Eavot.— Picayune.

A woman went into a Cass avenue drug
store to have a prescription filled. The
druggist compounded the drugs, and as
ho handed the bottle to the customer, he
said p easantly:
“Here’s your piescription, ma’am
shake!”
“I’ll do nothing of the kind,” snapped
the woman, “aud I think you’ve a good
deal of impudence to ask me to.” ,
“You don’t understand,” exclaimed
the druggist; “I mean that when you
take the picsciiption you must shake.”
“I won’t take the prescription if it’s
going to make me shake,” objected the
customer.
“Good heavens, woman, it’s the bottle
you are to shake,” shrieked the druggist.
“What good will it do me?” querried
the woman.
“He means, madam,” said the drug
gist’s assistant, coming to the rescue,
“that the mixture in the bottle should be
well shaken before taken.”
• “Well, couldn’t he have said so?”
asked the wrathful customer as she looked
a farewell suspicion at the unfortunate
druggist.— Detroit Free Press.

A Miser’a Money.
Old Uncle Boat, of No. 10 township,
Cabarrus county, North Carolina, recent
ly died and his body was buried at
Bethel. He was about 80 years old, was
a bachelor and was known to be miserly
in his habits to a wonderful degree. His
only companions were two dogs and an
old negro woman who had been living
with him during his entire life. Curious
to say, in his will he left her nothing.
His real estate consisted of 1,800 acres of
land. His home place, containing 500
acres, he left jointly to his two nephews,
Allen and Peter Bost. The former ;s his
executor. The balance was left to other
nephews in 100-acre lots each. To his
nieces he gave nothing. In old bureau
drawers, old cupboard, in pitcher, jars,
in old clothes pockets, in old stockings
and in cracks in his miserable hovel
were found SIO,OOO in gold, besides a
large quantity of gold dust and bullion.
He had on hand only a few hundred dol
lars in paper money, and no notes aud
mortgages of any consequence. In the
search a package from a Charlotte bank
was found containing several hundred
dollars that had never been opened at all.
This was received by him in 1880, Last
spring he made his tax returns and gave
in as money on band $4,000. Ferhaps
he did not know how much he had stuck
about in different places. He had corn
and hay that had been stacked for
twenty-five years. He eased his con
science by leaving of his hard earnings
SI,OOO to Bethel church. He made his
will only three weeks ago. There is much
talk about contesting it, for some of his
kin have been left without anything.

House, Lewiston, and the Tontine

and are not slow in sizing people

and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee’s
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion ? Listen ! “I
use nothing but Boschee’s German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than a hundred different per
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the markei.” ®

great as the QHIO IMPROVED tester hogs, two having®

J Foreign countries having taken steps to re-open their ports for the reception®

Considered Wonderful.
Mr. Henry V. Smith, of Belmont,
West Va., says: “he considers h!s
cure of Sorofula by S. S. S., one of
the most wonderful on record. He
had the disease of the worst type
all his life until he was 22 years of
age, and his whole youth was em
bittered by it. Of course he had
all sorts of treatment, but nothing
benefited him permanently until
he took S. S. S. which cleansed the
poison from his system, and cured
him sound and well.”
