Pet Canary Pecks Valuable Jewel From Owner's Earring and Dies' of Indigestion. ' For pecking a valuable diamond from an earring belonging to Mrs. Paul, of Philadelphia, a pet canary bird paid the death penalty. Mrs. Paul had placed the bird cage on a sitting-room table, and was encourag ing the canary to warble for some visitors, when the little creature ate the unusual repast. The earring was lying on the table alongside of the cage and within reach of the canary. The bird exam ined the jewel for some time, and after arriving at the conclusion that it was a worm of some rare species pecked at it and swallowed the stone with a gulp. The loss of the diamond in this manner caused a sensation in the Paul household, and every one plann ed out one scheme after another for the recovery of the jewel. The bird was not in the least embarrassed by the rich diet it adopted, but while the hostess grieved it sang merry eongs of joy in all the bird languages. Finally Mrs. Paul decided to send for a physician. She did not wish to lose her pet, and still less her dia mond, so she intended to ask the doctor to perform a surgical opera tion on the bird. While Mr. Paid was on his way for the physician the canary died suddenly from acute in digestion. Now is the Time to Advertise.

HAS TRIE® BOTH. Travel for Health Vs. Dieting. A man who was sent to Europe for his health and finally found cure in u little change in his diet says: "I was troubled with dyspepsia for five years and two doctors here in Ke nosha t'hat treated me for over a year both told me there was no help for me. Then I had an expert from Chi cago, but still received no relief; then followed another expert from Chicago who came to our house two times a month for four months. He gave me up like all the others and tola me to take a trip across the ocean, which I did in the year 189& and came home about as bad as when I started. The doctors told me my stomach lining was full of sores. Then I began to study my own case and learned of the diet recommended by the Postum Cereal Co., so I gave up coftee, pork and all greasy foods and began using Postum Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and better until I am well now as I ever was in my younger days, have no trou ble and eat anything fit to eat. "Sometimes away from home I am persuaded to drink coffee, but I only take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and disagreeable to me, but the longer 1 use Postum the better I like it and the better I feel. I could say a great deal more of my experience with Postum, but think this will give everyone a good idea of what, leaving off cofTee and using Postum can do."

Author of"Letters of a Happy Poor Woman," Etc. M ERICA at last is learning the value of the tireless energy A of the little ones, learning to put to account their infinte "horse-power." Along with our country's awakening to the desirability of civic cleanliness and beauty comes appreciation of the civic aid children are able to render. Able and willing. For nowhere do we find such eagerness, such zeal to be at some v-Hf? thing with might and main as we do anions the vital young ones. Sometimes this eagerness seems pathetic, especially when elders take base advantage cf it; but when kindly, wisely directed, it makes for the progress of the child, and often there is work accomplished that in itself is of decided value. There is no prettier sight than a group of children hard at work on social good, using their ready wits and muscles in some task whose aim and fruitfulness they comprehend. Such a bevy of busy bees we come upon frequently nowadays in the city streets and village grounds; pull ing weeds, making bonfires of unsightly rubbish, keeping sharp lookout that no untidj wayfarer despoil the new neatness. It is not only a les son in industry, but also a lesson in unselfishness, the good of the social whole. These folk, who furnish "the large majority of our citizens," are the very ones that in the past have done so much to fill the streets with disorder; on the way home from school they are the ones that have thrown abroad the oceans of papers; they arc the fellows that have lit tered the land with banana and orange peel; these arc the rogues that have made of the public thoroughfares depositories for all unsightly waste. And opening their eyes to simple means of remedying municipal untidiness has also, unconsciously, been a means of training them in the still more important matter of prevention. The children, in their role of city helpers, we look upon in a new light; not merely as dependents, "nuisances," but a body of worth and dignity. We add to our love for them feeling of respect; they grow in honor; we virtually lean upon then?. And of a truth, in no other way than under the lead of the little child snail we be able to attain and retain the goal we have set us, a cleanly city. And how they love posies, every boy and girl of them, every chick and child. Just a little guiding and away they go with any sort of a tool, at any fraction of soil they can lay claim to, and do their part to make a city beautiful as well as a city orderly. A dime's worth of flower seeds can do more for the happiness-, uplift and health of a slum child tfian a dozen Sunday school picnics. There are better sermons, more sweetly, ingratiatingly preached, by a row of nodding, growing flower stalks than an evangelist can ever offer. Purity, graciousness, something way out of reach of the sordid and utilitarian they bespeak; and to not a few they ratify the word that God's in His Heaven.

In every section except New England the sums distributed in 1903 are 50 per cent, greater than in 1899. In New England the gain has been about 25 per cent, in five years. The amount of life insurance in force in New York is estimated to exceed $2,200,000,000. It approximates $900,000,000 in Philadelphia, $700,000,000 in Chicago, and nearly $600,- 000,000 in Boston. The anomalous fact is mentioned that policy holders of life insurance companies, who are taking care of themselves and their families to the extent indicated by these wonderful figures, are compelled to endure a taxation of nearly six per cent, on the sums distributed by the companies, an extortionate tax upon their thrift. The six per cent, tax mentioned does not include any direct taxes paid by insurance com panies 011 property actually in their possession. A demand is made lor the relief of the thrifty classes from such a heavy burden. In Great Britain and other countries life insurance policy holders are not taxed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~---— ——————I 'p] le destruction of the 4*4 i * Russian battleship Pe- Of MViitlttropavlovsk by contact _ with a submarine mine By CAPT. A. T. MAHAN, U. S. N. has given a renewed im petus to the contention, never wholly quiescent, that the large, heavily armored ship of war is obsolescent and an anachronism, because liable to vital injury or her own cost. It has apparently occurred to 110 one similarly to contrast the rela tive intrinsic value of the rifle bullet with that of the trained soldier, or accomplished general, whom it slays. The results to be expected from the torpedo are set fort has seductively as the prospectus of a new cor poration, promising the largest conceivable profits with expenditure inconceivably small. The trouble with these calculations is that they fail to take accurate j account of what the desired result is in naval operations; the necessary, indisputable aim of which, in the unanimous opinion of all competent judges, is the control of the sea. The disabling or destruction of battle ships, one or many, is a means to this end doubtless; but it is itself only a means, not an end, and the two cannot be confounded without vitiating any course of reasoning based upon such inilial confusion. Because an expensive battleship may be removed from the field of action by an inexpensive torpedo, it by no means follows that control of 1 the sea can be maintained by vessels differing radically from the his j torical class, of which in our day the battleship is the type.
