Fifty years already grown to such : it became necessary to seek a outlet for the trade. About 1850 German dealers began making shipments* to New York, and finally they toned their attention chiefly to the- United States, the demand fjrom this side of the water having become very great. Dar ing the last year canary birds wert thjcLia money value among the, articles yexportedsnto the United State* from /Hanover. NJ The breeding of canary birds in Ger many is msi&i^a boose industry of poor j and needypeo^le. Their profit is, of course, jam all; bu^to the poor, who can harMj^earn daily broad, their bird cages le little saving* banks, from which they can draw at regular iatervets-e trifle : that, added to -their other earnings, i] enables them to make ends meet. ^Tbe canary bird induetry, without making any serious clain^upoa the peasant's time or care, chew his home and brings him a modest profit. Having in the saisud a brood of young birds, he awaits with anxiety the visit of the dealer in the autumn, which wfll place in his hands money to help him thzoogfc : the winter. The principal seat of the iaduetry wai where the sittiog-Toom, in the ret a^fmsding place summer the food '?was easily obtainable, and winter came the dealer had them. , After the Harts Mountains be came more frequented by visitors desir ous of improving their health in the pure air, the poverty of the mountaineers was diminished, and the* canary bird indus try fell off more and more. At present 1$ly fine singers are bred in the Harts, and for these the dealer must pay a high price. The industry was then transferred to Eichsfelde, in the province of Hau over, where there are many poor weav ers. Newly all of these are bow en gaged in the breeding of the cheaper varieties of canary birds. The industry exists also in the poorer .districts of Hesse, in the great Lunenburg Moor, in parts of. Westphalia, and wnong the Sudetic Mountains in Saxony. About 250,000 canary birds are raised' e^erj year invGermany. _ First in importance ts the market of the United States, which takes in round numbers 100,000 birds per annum. Next irtis English market, which takes about 50,000 per annum. Then come Brasll, Chile, the Argentine Republic and Aus tralia. To these countries salesmen are sent with canary birds every year. The rest, especially the finer Hartz birds, are sold in Germany, where more weight is given to fineness of son# and where higher prices can be obtained than any where else. ? The average price for o|di nary canary biris is from sixty to eighty cents for males. Hence the canary bird industry adds about 1,000,000 marks per year to Germany's National wealth, and this amount goes chiefly into the hasdi of the poorest class. Th^T growth of this indnste? is doe to two -causes : The German 3rd dealers have always been very enterprising, sd& the canary birds raised in Germany are said to sing better than any others. While very beautiful birds are raised in England, in song they are surpassed by the German canaries. German dealers claim that canary birds bred from im ported parents in the United States are poor singers, owing to the warmth of our climate. About two-thirds of the 100,000 canary birds exported anneal)? from States are im ported by a Getmai resident of Hew York,. At Braunlege, in the Harts, tikis ' maa^has a factory/ which li Capable of "turning out erery day the material for one thousand' S^rd ca^es. Toe material t 1 a is-giveo out to \the peasants, who make the cages at borne. The birds acft shipped to Ne^ York, via Bremen, ac companied by attendants. Each at tendant has under his care about 1000 birds, each in its wooden cage. As each bird must be fed and cared for regular 1 ly, tSe atiegBants are kept busily em ployed. One of these attendants has already crossed the ocean more than a hundred times in charge oflxpft, There are thirty such empties. The New ?York house disposes of these birds ? the i finest amorg them being the Andreas jberger Hartz canariea? in New Orleana, Cbsrie.?ton, San Francisco, and other . Americas cities, as well as in Canada. Moreover, ^buyers are seat throughout the riritedX States to obtain American butfe and aVimats, and also to Mexico aud Cut .'orlarrots. These are brought to Gcrnjoy \y ^he canary attendants upon their return. 4 Jn this manner this same person anioaUy i nporta iato-G^r many fro n ttieA'nited States about 50W^ Vir^ ni* cardinal birds, 3000 nonpareils, j 30ik> .?qAvtY birds, and 5 mocking birds. ? i^Ston Traaecript.

Three years' experiments with nitrate of coda by E. B. Voorhees, of the New ! Jersey Station (S.B. 1892), shopr that for tomatoes nitrate of soda alone Vsuperior to either barnyard manure or mineral fertiliser*, but is Jess effective than the complete man ore. On iand previously liberally fertilized with phosphoric acid end potash, nitrate soda used alone, in small quantities, gave the best and most profitable results. With the small quan tity of 160 pounds of nitrate per acre, j the second application was advantage- j ous, but 320 pounds per acre was most ] effective. ; . Tbe soijs used were a sandy j loam in Southern Hew Jersey, io a sec tion lsrgely devoted to raising tomatoes for the early markets, and a clay loam in Northern New Jersey. The maximum yields of tomatoes seem to depend upon a full supply of immediately available nitrogen, but as phosphoric acid and - potash are also needed, the farmer should know the tfcpacity of his soil for the crop invader to economically use com raerciafaEaeure. ?

As it increases in size it causes pressure on the ~1aramv_ the result of which js a disturbance of tiie nervous functions and the irregular movements of the aoimalf which are well known to indicate the existence of the parasite in the sheep. The sheep tbroa around on one side or the other as either side of the brain may be' affected by the injury, or if the centre of the brain is affected the sbeep raises its head and stumbles forward. The sbeep take id. the eggs of the tapeworm that are discharged by the dpga on the gtasa, and these being swal lowed are hatched in the sheep's stom ach. The young worrafTfien^penetrate the tissues into the veins, by which they find their way to the capillaries of the brain, where they lodge and grow to their intermediate stage, often attaining a size of two inches, including the blad der and its liquid coatents. Some vet erinarians who have bad sufficient ex perience are. able by the symptoms above mentioned to locate the bladderr, and either puncture them, and so deatroy the worm, when the bladder becomes ab sorbed without injury, or thei open the akull by and remove the in worms are swallowed, and ma "ture in the dog, to be voided from time to time in the usual segments, that are filled with eggs, and these are picked up by the -sheep.

And sometimes the ut most efforts of man ay utterly without avail to stay the ravages of these tiny in ?aden.

In the first f lace, I remark that. Christ's lacerations were neoanary, because tnan^s rescue was an impossibility except by the payment of tome' great sacnfios. . Outraged law had thundered against iniquity. Man must die unless a substitute oan mteroept that death. Let Gabriel step forth.! Here fuses. Let Michael tbelarchangel step forth. He refuses. No Roman citizen, no Athe nian, no Corinthian, no reformer, no angel volunteered. Christ then bared His heart to the pang. He paid for our redemption In tears and Mood and wocmded feet and Foourged shoulders and; torn brow. "It is done/ Heaven and earth heard the snap of the prison bar. 8inai ceased to qusks with wrath the moment that Calvary began to rock in crucifixion. Christ had suffered. "Oh," says some maiv "I don't like thM; doctrine of substitution; let every man bear his swn burdens, and weep his own tears, and fight his own battles!" Why, my [brother, tbeqs is vicarious suffering all over i . phe world. Did not your parents suffer for 1 you? Do you not sometimes suffer for your children? Does not the patriot suffer for his oountry? Did not Grace Darlinf suffer for the drowning sailors? Vicarious suffer ing on all sides! But how insignificant com pared with this scene of vicarious suffer ing! Was it (ols?riBM that I had dona He gro&neiNipoa tho tree? Amazing pltr, Rface nnlrtown, And lore beyotKKdegreo. Christ mast suffer to pay the prioe of oar redemption. S -JJat I remark again, the sufferings of Cfy-ist were necessary in order that the world's sympathies might be aroused. Man are won to the right and good through their sympathies. The world most feel aright before it can act aright. 80 the oroa was allowed to be lifted that the world's sympa thies might be aroused. Men who hare been obdurated by the cruelties they have ! enacted, the massacres they hare inflicted, by the horrors of which ther hare been j ^guilty, have beoome little chilarin in the presence of this dying Saviour. What the Bwords could ?ot do, what Jug K urate oould not subdue, the wounded d of Christ has accomplished. There are this moment millions of people held un der the spell of that one sacrifice. The ham mers that struck the spikes into the cross have broken the rocky heart of the world. Nothing but the agonies of a Saviour's death throe oould rouse the world's sympathies. I remark again, "It behoved Christ to ! suffer," that th?strength and persistence of the divi^fovefnight be demonstrated. Was it the applause of the world that induced Christ on that crusade from Heaven? Why, all the universe was aiHis leek, Could the Euest of this insignificant pianat have Him for His career of pain if it had |i mere matter of applause? All the honors of heaven surging at His feet. Would your queen give up tier throne that she might rule a miserable tribe in Africa? ! Would the Lord Jesus Christ on the throne of the' universe oome down to our planet if it were a mere matter of applatuir ?nd ac- , damation? V C~ f Nor was it an expedition undertaken fotJj the accumulation of ? vast wealth. Whit J could all the harvests and the ..diamoods of_ our little world do for Him whose are the glories of infinitude and eternity? Nor was ; an experiment ? an attempt to show what He could do with the hard hearted raoe. He who wheels the stars in their\ courses and holds the pillars of the universe on the tips of His fingers needed to make experiment to find what He could do. On, I will tell you, ray friends, what it was. It was un disguised, unlimited, all conquering, all con suming, infinite, eternal, omnipotent love that opened the gate, that started the with linger of light i an agar, that arrayed "" lehem, that bornf\hat lifted ?U thirsty at the well. Love at the sick man's couch. Love at the cripple's crutch. love sweating in the garden. Love dying on the cross. Love ^rapped in the grave. You cannot misrae it. The blindest eye must see it. TMThardest heart must feel it. The deafest ea^.must hear it. Parable and miracle, wayside taik and seaside interview, all the scenes ot His lile, all the sufferings of -Hu< death, proving beyond controversy that for our in~rate ear-tn Uo-1 has yearned with stupen-ICus and inextinguishable love. ' But I remark again, *t:It behoved Christ to sucnar," cnac tne nature ot unman gufU roi?ht be demonstrated. There is not a com mon sense man in the house to-day that will not admit that the machinery or society 1s out of gear, that the human mind and the human heart are disorganized, that some thing ought to be done ri?bt away for its pair and readjustment, out the height and depth and length and breadth and hate and recklessness and iafernal energy of the human heart for sin would not have been demonstrated if against the holy and inno cent one of the cross it had not been hurled in one bolt of fire. Christ was not the first man that had been runt to death. T lie re had been many before Him put to death, but they hadtheir whims, the r follie?, their sins, their inconsistencies. But when the mob outside of Jerusalem howled atthe Son or God it was hate against ^ooJnes^k wn blasphemy against virtue, it was earth against heaven.- What was it in that innocent and lovin; face o' Christ) that excitel the vituperation and the con tumely and scorn of men? if He had ban tered them to co-ne on, i? He had laughed them into derision, if He had denounced ' them as the vagab?ndH that ta?y were, we could understand their ferocity, but it was against inoffensivene-s that they brandished* tht-ir spear.3, and shook t hftir fist#, and ground their teeth, and howled and scoffed and jeered an<l mockeJ. What evil ha-1 Ho done? Whose eyesight hai He put out? None; -but He given vision to the blind. Whose child had He sl:in? None; but He restore ! the dead dvnsel. to her mother. What law had He broken? None; but He had inculcated obedience to government. What foul plot had He en*" acted against the haoninesa of the nc1! None; He had come to save a world. Th? ! only cruelty He ever enacted was to heal the i sick. The.only ostentation He ever dis i played w^fto sit with publicans and sinners | and wash the disciples' fe.it. The only selfishness He ever exhibited i was to give His life for His enemies. Xnd I yet all the wrath of the world surged i against His holy heart, Hear the redhot j scorn of the world hissing in the pools of i a Saviour s biool! An i standing there to-' i day iet us see what an unreasonable, loath j son'.p, hateful, blasting, dirnnmr thing is ; the iniq uty of the hum in heart. Unloose ', ; what will not sin do?

Sometimes people suffer because they cannot help themselves, b*t Christ had - in His hands all the weapons to punish gis enemies, and yet: in quieeoeuoe He endured all outrage. He might hare hurled the rocks ?GoIzotJia noon His Demurs: He might hare cleft the earth until He swal lowed up His assailant*; He might hare called in reinforcement or taken any thun derbolt from the armory of God Omnipotent and hulled it seething and fiery among His foes, but He answered not again. * v Oh, my hearers! has there ever been in the history of theVorld such an example of enduring patience tisvSe find in the cross? Some of you suffer physical distresses, some of you have lifelong ailments and they make Jou fretful . Sometimes von think that God as given you a cup too deep and too brim ming. Sometimes you see the world laugh iog and romping on the highways of life, end you look out of the window while seated in invalid's chair,, , ) E3 I want to show you this morning one who had worse pains in the head than you have ever had, whose beak wfc* scourged. who was wounded in the hands and wounded In the feet, and suffered all over; and I want that example to make you mare enduring in your suffering, and to make you say. "Father, not My will but Thine be done.* You never have had any bodily pain, and vou will never have any bodily pain that equaled Christ's torture. "It behoved Christ to suffer," that He might show you how physically to suffer. - Home of jw are persecuted. There are those who hate you. They criticise you. They would be glad to eee you stumble and fall. They have done unacoountable mean* u esses toward you. Sometimes^ you feel anery. You feel es if vou would like to re tort. Stop ! Look at the closed hps, look at the still hand, look at the beautiful demeanor of your Lord. Struck, not striking back again. Ob. if you oonld onlv appreciate what He endured in the way of persecution vou never would complain of persecution. The words of Christ would be your, words, "Father, if it be possible^ this cup pass fromJie; but if not, Thy will be done," "It Mboved Christ to suffer" persecution, that Hewiigbt show you' how to endure persecu tion. Some of you are bereft. It is no random remark, because there is hardly a family here that has not passed-ttflder the shadow. You hfre been bereft Your bouse is* J different place from what it used to be. The j same furniture, the same books, the same pictures, but there has bean a voice hushed there. The face that used to light up the whole dwelling has vanished, the patter ing of the other feet does not break up the loneliness. The wave has gone over your sou1, and you have sometimes thought what you woulcE&ell hitp when he comes back; but then toe thought has flashed upon you, he will never come back. 7^ K .Ah! my brother, my sister, Christ has "?blinded all that depth, Jeeus of the bereft ) jsoul is here to-day.
