The Little Red-Breasted Songsters Are Enjoying Great Popularity In New York.

In the usual course of change in fash- lons, which affect the choice of pets as much as they affect taste of dress, liter- ature and drama, That old favorile the piping bulfinch is cotuing into high fa- for in New York just now. The bull- finch is "The parrot of the temperate zone." not because he ever learns to talk, like his tropical prototype, but be- cause, having no "wood notes wild" of his own, he can learn to whistle human music and often distinguishes himsel' as a soloist.

A leading New York bird seller who Is now doing a flourishing business in bnlifinches last week gave this account of the bullfinch revival: "They used to be favorite pets un the other side: don't know that they were ever before - very popular here. Of course, the bull- finch is not an American hird, but a na-

come from England, but more from tier- many. As you know, a fashion like that is generally set going by some notable or another. In this case the German kaiser is responsible. Dullfinches are a hobby with bin; he has six of them that whistle 'Die Wahl am Rhein' in chorus, and now some of my men from over there tell me he has a new bird learning to whistle a song which has Jately become popular in Germany- "Kruger Is a Bully Buy."

This startling indication of kaiser's international tendencies, the the

dealer said, has nol Fel got into print on this side of the Atlantic. "But," he added, "we in The trade are far ahead of the papers on all that kind of news." The consignments of birds are

brought over from Germany under the care of a regular professional "vogel- handler." The great field for gathering bu!lfinches is said to be the duchy of Hesse. There the birds are taken, un- fledged, from the nests and patiently taught to whistle their little repertories while they are still yourg. The old story that needles are thrust inlo Ibelr eyes to make them sing better is ridi- culed by The dealers, who say that both- Ing but petting will make a bul finch a good performer. "You can't do any thing with them by punishment. Even a cross word will npset a bullfinch and make him sulky. As for putting oul their eyes, to say nothing of the cruelty of it, it would ruin a bird's appearance and destroy his market value."-N. Y. Tribune.

A team collects all sorts of articles nseful aa wearing apparel or for ornamental pur- poses from benevolent people that have either discarded or else have no further nae for articles which ueedy unex would be glad to purchase at a very low price. The articles thus collected are often quite valuable and would otherwise have been rendered useless by long vacatlone in garret or cellar or else blnudering into the rag man's hag.

In brief, they act under orders to gather statistics which congress deems it will be of public value to collate. Give them, therefore, courteons welcome and ready access to all such facts and figures as they may be called upon to secure. Treat the ennmerators and their questions kindly. Not to do so would be to sub- ject yourself to endless trouble and an- noyance,

There has been much discussion as to the route of the street railway from Med-| way going over the Richardson hill, many thinking that it would be carried around through private land. That question seems to be settled, as the rails are laid in the highway which runs over the hill. The construction has reached the foot of the hill toward Franklin center.

The eight-wheeled open cars of the Milford, Attleboro aud Woonsocket street railway, taken out for the first time Mon- day and run over the line, attracted a great deal of attention. The car ls a beauty and a very easy riding one. I had a tight squeeze to get under the rail- road bridge on Main street in Woon- socket, as the car is rather high, but special trolley holders have been ordered and will be put on, so the cars of this type will experience no difficulty in pass- ing under the bridge.
