This city, ns it wn?in H, is described in today's National Geoj;rnphiu society state ment : "ni.xinude, the melancholy little illiif-n of yesterday and the ruins of lodny, wns once n brave, wealthy merchant city, with more tliuii .'10,000 inhabitants. In tlie dnys of its pro, perily it wax a port Tor lniye ship and the products of inanv countries filled its warehouses. In those days it was n stronjrly walled and bnslinn ed city, and its wcll-trnincd citizen Foiiiiery knew how to uphold the honor of their thriving port upon the Hliiuish Yser. The Germnn invad ers, however, found no evidences of the old-time walls and fortifications, nor of any see rpiays. Ws Decaying Village "Dmnude just hefore the wnr has tened the final process of js oblit eration, was u deenyitiir village of 3100 people, with ffra-s mid weeds prowiii'.' in its sleepy streets and in its lurp xrnml sipinre, that siiuare roomy enouj-h to hold in comfort n mass meetiiifr of twice, the town's population. This larjje Miinrp, the splendid church of St. Nicholas, that stood upon it, and some solid, old, stone houses, lininjr the crooked streets, remained to hear testimony to Pixmude's earlier imnnrtnnee. "-Much of the city's splendor wns wiped out hv the soldiers of flhent and Unices in the middle of the six teenth century.

The martial and mercantile fame of the town had sjmmI. Its ehiet renown wns that of its superior but ter and ejit's, and that of the singing, or, better, trillinir competitions of its blind finches. The natives snared these shy birds, jIMd, Hint they might sing undisturbed by the presence of onlookers, they were blinded by the searing of their eyes with hot iroup. These sinying competitions between the birds wore held on holidays, and money prizes were distributed for the sweetest trilling1. Accomplished birds often brought their owners large sums, jroie than 1000 trills in one hour by one of these sightless' little finches wns a Dixmude record, and as proud a one to the burghers there ns is a baseball pennant in mi American city. "The town wns mediaeval in ap. pearance. Many of the houses had windows screened by heiivy, rust eaten iron bars and heavy, one-piece wooden shutters. Some of them were very ancient, and thus valuable mem. ones of Europe's struggles. St. Nicholas' church, an imposing struc lure with a flothie lower, was the town's principal boast, and it inter ior contained some exquisite orna- meniaiion work, patterns carved in stone as delicate as rare, handmade lace.
