Killing IHrds With Kiuluts. "What ails my bird it won't sing ?" No, my friend, and if you keep on with the same bill of fare, it never will. Do you know there is such a thing as killing birds with kindness? A paster railed ou me sometime ago and asked me what he could do for his wife's can ary. "It is all puffed up, and sits about the cage and won't sing.." I inuuired about the diet. Then he be gan telling me of sugar, crackers, greens and a host of other delicacies. That was enough. The wife was kill ing the Lird by kindnes. I have been in the business for years, and have stuuied and experimented in various ways to ascertain wbat diet is Lest suited to canaries, and my last ex periment has settled tha matter to my mind, beyond a doubt. About three years ago I started a Herman bird on a diet of plain canary seed, with a little rape and millet added. I allowed no hemp. A cuttlefish was placed between the wires, bird gravel strewn upon the floor, fresh watr g'.v en daily, a batb every other day in sum mer, and occasioca'ly (on very mild days) in winter. I allowed no greens whatever tote given to it, excepting once in a while a Lit of sweet appU. That "bird has not missed a day without having pourd forth the sweetest melody. andhas not had an hour of sickness dur ring all this time. This treatment, I hold, is the only safe one, and if closel followed must give satisfaction. It baa ever been a mystery to me why hemp seed has ever been introduced into canary food. It is the most dangerous article that could be used. And why shall we continue the use of greens when an occasional bit of sweet appl answers this purpose ? "Poor bird I must be kind to it. Then continue your idea of kinduess, and ultimately bury the bird. Do you exemplify an net of kindnes. when you have caused that pet of yours to crouch in a corner iuH-ering from over-feeding? Can you feel that you have been kind when by your lavishing you nave stop ped the happiness of "poor little dick ?" A bird can hardly La happy and sit about and mope. The kindest act is to give it only that which will prompt a healthy body. "Our bird always sang beautifud be fore," said a down-cast distress to me one day and I looked in the seed bin and found it full of hemp. "I have used every power to restore its song.,' and I beheld a large piece of "bird manna" between the wires. Away with trash. Prevent sickness ; prevent loss of song. A plain and pro per diet will do it. I stopped the hemp seed, the gren food, and threw away the "bird man- na " of a bird placed in mv chart? anil which had not sung for a year, and in two weeks it began to warble, and cow sings as wall as ever. If a Lird begins to mnpe, and seems unwell, I placa rusty nail iu its drink ing water. The mat from ths nail af fords a gentle tonic . in nine casts cut of ten, all the bird needed was a little ! braciLg up. During moultine season 1 do this, whether the bird seems indis posed or not. B.tthiug in winter is a very delicate step to take. Let it be on a verv mild day, and have a good temperature io the room. Make the water luke warm, and us soon as it has finished, place the cage n?ar th stove. Da not let the bird be come chilled. A-o.hcr jretaation and which the bird wi.l-cceilasagrtat act of kindness is to p'ace a shall, or even newspapers around the cage, to ke-p out the cold duriug the winter nights when the fire is low, arid the temperature of the room Las fi'Iea below 70 degrees. Prevents coids in every way possible. These few hints, and the aforrsaid diet, wiil le the best acts of kindness that j ou cm show these delightful lit tle sorgsierr, and that the birds will appreciate your services, can easily te proven by sweet songs end perfect health. Taking Jtrdicine. Tiysictans prescrihej less medicine now than U3ed to be the custom in for mer days, and possibly would give still fewes dosee, if it were not for the preju dices of their patients, who feel that nothing is being done for their cure un less they have something to take. The truth is that often pure air, rest and ab sence from food fo;- a time is all that is needed to give relief, and the conscien tious doctor hesitates to other druRS which he knows are unnecessary. If a person who Is suffering from fever is thut u;inau unventiUted room, breath ing the same air over and over again, covered with twien aa many bed clothes in are required, lor fear he might take cold, and Wen whatever food ne cau be p usuadel to eat, tha fever is not likely to abate. Yet if whtn the physician came he were to say, "open the window, take oft all the blankets but one. and give him a ccol sponge bath every three hours, and It t him have nothing but milk, cracked ice and cold water," and then go away without prescribing fur ther, the friends of the sufferer would M.ake their heads and sigh to one an other. "We must send for some one el"! at once. How can he get well without, mdic;ne ? " Whereas the doc tor iea"y would hare done much more to pri)n,-.);.e the recovery of ins patient thau if he h.ul Mt him iu the unsanlta tary condition ia which be found him Htsil prescribed quinine aLd aconite ud liiiiLin.

When tli Moors hai possession of tha penmsu'a thy estab lished a Tery energetic customhonsa force upon it. The scale of revenue was discretionary with the collector. All formalities of entering nnd clearing were dispensed with. -very vessel passing through the straits in either di rection was brought to and robbed to the prudent extent of not absolutely preventing the captain from undertak ing another voyage. If he delivered up about 15 per cent, of his cargo or paid its equivalent in money he was al lowed to go in peace. If he proved re calcitrant, and was then captured, the duties were collected on a eliding scale; be was made to walk the plank and his vessel and cargo were conQscated. Generally, hovrever, no resistance was offered. "When the vessel arrived at the the port of discharge, her owners assessed the loss on the purchasers of the goods, and the result was pretty much as it is in our day. A great many people bad to pay for what a smaller number of people got. This sort of duly collection ran all through the mid dle ages, a sad deterioration from the practice of the more enlightened Greeks and Romans of antiquity. The feudal Barons on the Rhine obtained their rev enue on this summary manner, which always reverted on the people. Something to Paste Up. For a sore throat cut slices of fat, boneless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie around the neck with a flannel cloth. When stung by a bee or wasp, make a paste of common earth and water, put on the place at once and cover with a cloth. For cold on the chest, a flannel rag wrung out in boiling water and sprin kled with turpentine, laid on the chest, gives the greatest relief. When a felon first begins to make its appearance, take a lemon, cut off one end, put the Goger in, and the longer it is kept theie the better. For a cough, boil one ounce of flax seed iu a pint of water, strain and add a little honey, one ounce of rock caudy and the juice of tLree lemons ; mix and boil well ; drink as hot as possible. Often after cooking a rreal a person will feel tired and have no 8ppetite ; for this be3t a raw egg until light, stir In a little milk and sugar and season with nutmeg, drink half an hour before eat inff.' For a burn or scald, make paste of common baking soda and water, apply at once and cover with a linen cloth. "When the skin is broken apply the white of an egg with a feather ; this gives in stant relief, as it keeps the air from the flesh. At the first signs of a run-round, take a cup of wood ashes, put the pan on the stove, put your finger in the pan, keep it there until the water begins to boil, or as long as can be borne ; repeat once or twice if Decessary. Culture. The London Society of Aits recently listened to a special lecture on eggs and the duty of the English people to raise their own eggs and not depend on for eign fowls. The import of eggs into England amounts to an annual value of ?lo,000,000, which means, at an average of a cent a piece, 123,000,000 dozen of egs. The import of egg to the United Slates is about 17.000,000 dozen a year. The capital required in the production of eggs, and the keeping of poultry, is small, the sale is regular and cocstant, and as an article of food the egg is un rivalled. While there are large raisers of poultry, with considerable invest ments in biids and buildings, the vast majority of the eggs marketed are pick ed up in small quantities frcm the far mers and from the villagers. There is no reason why the United States should dtprnd upon any outside people for a single egg. To produce all they con sume would put money in their pockeis. The boys and girls on the farm could find a source of profit in paving a little more attention to fowls, in the rough," as it were, and if they reached out to the incubator and the brooder they would materially enlarge their profits, while they also greatly enhanca thtir pleasure. An Ltlitur In Trouble. The following is told by the Dayton .Ytitai of an Armstrong county editor and a pair of trousers : "The tditor had ordered a pair of trousers from the tailor. On tryiug them on, they proved to be several inch es too long. It being late on -Saturday light, the Tailor's sLop was closed, and the editor took tha trousers to bis wife, and asked her to cut them off and hem them over. The gooJ lady, whose dinner ptihapa had disagreed with her, refused. The same results followed on application to bia wife's sister aud his eldes: daughter. Cut before bed-time, the wife reient ingly took the pants, and cutting off three inches from the lags, hemmed them up nicely and bung them back in the closet. Half an hour later the daughter, ta ken with cciBsunption for ber unfilial conduct, took the pants end cutoff three inches, hemmed and replaced them. Finally the sister-in-law felt the pangs of conscience, and she too performed an additional surgical operation on the garment. Vhon the editor appeared at break fast on Sunday, the family thought a Highland chief bad arrived. fetillob'a Consumption Cure.
