The Care of Canaries.
People who keep canaries should at
tend strictly to their comfort. They
are cleanly ' birds, and their cages
should always ba neat and clean. They
should have a clean bath every day,
f r? sh seeds, and the bottom of the cage
ehoild be cleaned and fine gravel and
small pfbb'es scattered there. If ne
CFseary, the water in ths cup3 should be
changed several times during the day.
Never leave stale, dirty water in the
cups. When they are moulting a
pmall piece of iron may be pnt in the
drinking water.
Very little sugar, cake, and bread
should be given to canaries. It is best
to mix the- canary, htm p. and rape
seeds in the cup, giving them but little
of the hemp, of which they are very
fond, but which makes them too fat for
health. A. little app'e, chick weM, and
tender lettuce leaves are all healthful.
This bird is very susceptible to cold
a fact that peop'e lose eight of. They
are brought from a room with a stove,
and hung out of doors ic a bleak, cold
wind. When they need air, !t Is bet
ter to hang; them insida the window,
not outside, and thus they etcape the
draughts that are necessarily in the
street. Then, too, they are cot alarm
ed and made nervous by the noises in
the street. In lunging them outside
they are liable to bo drenched by the
sudden rains that often occur. The
owner my cot be at home, or she may
forget the biid, and for hours it Is ex-
TVWa9 i r thai nalMnrra 9 f K a at TV
J you will hang your bird outside, be
sure to take it in before yon leave the
house. While birds need air and aun,
therB is a r.'ghi and a wrong way of
givirg it to them. They should never
be subjected to a hot sun, as It Is no
pleaanter for them than it is for ns to
be scorched by Its ray. Th cage
thculd ba covered with piper. If It is
put out when the sun is very hot. The
bird fciijcystbe sun in winter when the
cage is set inside the window, and
shows its appreciation by its lively
antics.
Strong, disagreeable odors are bad for
the bird. To some tobacco smoke
proves ushealthty, while others again
do not seem to mind it. They have
been known, however, to fall into fits
when exposed to its emell.
No bird should be put in a very smalt
cage. It ehonld have one eulliciently
large to enable it to Hy from side to Bide
with perfect ease. " ; -
The mites that infect, the cage are a
matter of great annoyance to the bird.
Ouce a raonih the bird should be re
moved to another cage and the other
well scalded. This ia as effectual a
way of getting rid of thee pests as
acy other. The perches should be well
scalded also. It must be remembered
that the perches should always be' kept
cl6an, otherwise the bird's feet will be
come sore. Auother remedy is to re
move the bird from the cage, and to
hold a lighted candle to every part of
it ; this will destroy the mites. A rem
edy which has proved effectual is to
ffpriukle the inside of the cage with sul
phur, but, after all, the scalding of the
cage is best.
It is only natural that when evening
comes on birds should go to sleep.
This they will not always do if exposed
ti the gas-light. They may be quite
lively, but they are excited by the light,
not that they enjoy it, for they do not.
A cloth should be thrown over the
cage, to shield the inmate from the
light ; do this, and you will soon find
the bird asleep.
No one should keep birds who Is not
kind-hearted, careful of their comfort,
and willing to see that their cages are
clean.

It w iil cos: but a trills to use ordinal
I ry building-paper in the stable. As it
caa bj fastened to the walls n a very
short time, it should b ussd especially
! on the uorih side. It is usually f asteo-
on the inside of the walls, and held ia
j place with plastering.lath, which are
naiiea over the paper, the lath being
two feet aprt. Paper is an excellent
noa-conducter of heat, and serves ad-
j mirably ia keeping out the draughts.
It should be used In all stables that are
not closely built and warm. '
Lime and Murk.
The bentSclal ttlccts of lime arise
from its chemical action in the soil atd
in hastening the decomposition of organ
it matter and preparing it for plant
food ra'her than being itself a direct
source of plant food, though all the
cultivated plants contain some portions
of lime in their composition. On what
are called sour lands, 6uch as grow
sorrel nd s-me othes acid plants. His
especially beneficial.
Instead of exposing the corn-fodder
in the fields it shouid be stored under
cover as soon as dry enough, and it
wouid be an advantage to have it in the
barn before it gets wet, which, however,
is not always possible, but the leas ex
posure to rain the better. In the South
the stalks are stripped of the blades,
which are cured In Oundles, and put in
the barn immediately, which renders
the fodder very acceptable to stocks of
all Kinds, it largely supplying the place
of hay.

A Wildcat's Awlul Leap.
'I'veseen it disputed in the nanera
that a wildcat or catamount can make a
leap of twenty-five feet," said a resi
dent of Sullivan county to a New York
sun man, "and I would like to men-
tion what 1 saw a wildcat do once. I
j was trout fishing on one of the upper
tributaries of the Beaverkill and had
clambered down in a" deep ravine to gee
at a tempting pool at the foot of a fail,
where I was sure my casts would be re
warded by the killing of some big tiout.
I was not mistaken as to that. T liari
landed four srout the smallest one
eighteen inches long, and sat down to
rest the pool." Both sides of the ra
vine "were perpendicular walls of rock,
probably twenty feet high. The sum-
rnlt of the wall on the side of the creek
opposite to me eloped back gradually
from its edge for Beveral feet to a heavy
growth of pine.
"As I was slttine at tha bottom of
the ravine I happened to elance ud to
the top of the rocks opposite me and
saw a hen Dheasant
her newly batched brood come out of
the pines and scratch and peck her way
aloBg the sloping open -space, hunting
food for her young, which clustered
closely about. her. The pheasant came
very close to the precipice, and it seem
ed to me that she was placing her brood
in a most dangerous position, when she
turned aa if : to walk back with them to
the pines. The Instanc ahe turned
something like a sbaddo flitted across
the top of the ravine, and half a second
laterlsawan enormous wildcat cllnc
log to the edge of the opposite wall by
its rore feet, holding the pheasant Des
tween its Jaws. The wildcat strutted
for a moment to drag himself from tha
edge of the abyss to a sure fooling on
the top of the rocks, but his effort was
In rain, and be came crashing down the
face of the precipice still holding the
luckless phasant in his jaws. He fell
with a splash in the water and lav mo
tionless at tha edge of the pool.
I supposed the animal had h.n
watching the pheasant from the hush
es on tha top of the rock opposite where
the bird had appeared with her brood,
and at his opportunity had leaped
across to seiza her. but had mIMnd-pri
the dlBtaace and fallen short with th
result so fatal to him, -
"The whitl of the water brouzbt the
wildcat atound in a short time to th
side where I was standing, and as I was
bending down to examine him I saw a
man scrambling down the rocks. Thn
I man soon reached my side, and I then
learned that be bad shot the wildcat as
the animal was flying across the chasm
upon his prey. Bure enouzh. lust at
the base of the animal's brain was the
bole made by the rilLa bnlle.t. Th.
hunter had been following the wildcat
for some time, and bad lost track ot
him, but came near the edge of the ra
vine In time- to see him make bis lean
and follow him with a bullet. It was
that which stopped the animal short in
the tremendous leap it had calculated
on, or it would have cleared the space
with ease. The wildcat was In reality
almost In Its death throes when he
struck the pheasant, whleh he clung to
witn tne clutch of death, and still haid
In his mouth when we draesed him out
of the water. We measured the width
I of the chasm across which the wildcat
had made his death leap. The meas
urment was forty-three feet."
Heroes and Heroines.
The world is full of herd worshln and
many are the fortunate ones we honor
ana revere. Sine won by knightly
deeds on battlefield, some by splendid
prowess in saving life when periled by
fire or flood by every form of daring
bravery, or noble effort, the list is
swelled. And a quick and generous
appreciation is warded all Buch deeds of
exceptional heroism.
All heroic acts, howeyre, do uot
come to the light ot public approva'.
There are unknown and unnoticed he
roes and heroines in private life whose
names are not destined .to bs "sung in
numbers,'' whose quiet lives flow on in
uneventful stillness.
But the young man who voluntarily
resigns the ambitious plans of youth,
with all their vaguely splendid possi
bilities, to care for bis aged parents, an
obligation, perhaps, dislastful to him,
seeing bis more fortunato brothers and
comrades winning fortune and renown
that might be his, is a hero of no num
bla type. .
The girl who. putting aside her own.
happy dreams of the future, dedicates
her life to the care of an invalid mother
or a crirpled sister, making their lives
bright with the light she denies he
own, is a heroine, though not always
recognized as such.
In many an obscure home the frail
mother is the heroic spirit, who meets
the blows of adversity with the shield
of cheerful Industry. . Brave and never
despairing, thankful and hopeful to
others, 6he might have poems written
of her heroism if Ler station bad been
higher in the eyes of the world.
What Real Rest Means.
Many women never rest. They seem
not to understand what rest, real rest,
means. To throw one's self down with
a newspaper or book is not rest ;
It is
only a chaDge of occupation. To
sit
down sud keep the Oncers flvinir ovr
some sort of fancy work, as If one was
pursued by a demon of unrest, is cer
tainly not rest. But to li In f.,11
length on a hard surface, arms extend.
ed at the sides, head back, with no pil
low, eyes closed, all eares and worries
dismissed, this is rest ; this will smooth
away wrinkles in the face and in tem
per ; this will give an air of
the tired, anxious, servous wnmn
this will take away many an ache and'
straighten out the rounded shoulders
aLd craned necks.
Wauji quarters are in ord-r
and all winter preparations should be
made as soon as possible. The less
wind and cold that comes Into the sta
bles the less food required. Every dol
lar expended in shelter lessens the ex
pense of feeding. The animal hf
must be provided by feeding the stt
liberally, but the greater the exposure
ttie greater the loss of animal lifcr
Shelter is indispensable to economical
management.

About the Salting or Uutler.
Some very Interestine as well e, i
etructive experiments have bem
with salt at the Minnesota Experiment
Station. It was found that t?en the
merest fl!m of butter was imnrrnnn. i
salt. D.fferent thicknesses of butter
were tried, all with the same result. It
is salt proof. The only way it remairs
in butter to flivor It is purely mechan
ical. It can be mixed with butter, tut
never blends with it. It is always me
chanically held in the minute spaces
between the butter granules. The
smaller the granules, the more thorough
ly can the brine be distributed through
it. The importance of this is seirevi
dent. Washing and salting butttr
while It remains In email grannies is the
common sense way of doinf it. if the
butter is "gathered" before suiting. It
is hardly possible to salt as evenly, by
any amount of working, as It e&Rily'caa
be If the salt Is applied when the but
ter is in a granular condition. If tU
salt Is all right, and at once dissolves
at it should, the butter can be ircmed-
mv;j yicnaeu into a BOiia mane ami pre
pared for market. This pacl icg butter
directly from the churn is becoming a
common practice. It sives work,
avoids injuring the grain of the butler,
and lessens exposure to the air and con
sequent loss of flavor.
Kossuth In his Old Age.
In summer Louis Kossuth livei at a
villa near Itlvoli, in winter In the Via
del Mille, at Tonrin, and is alwajs ac
companied by hissisUr who adore him.
His two sons are employed in didttent
departments of the Italian administra
tion, away from their fathsr, wboffi,
however, they visit occasionally. Mac?
Hungarians live in Turin and In tte
winter even lie's Lonis Kossuth's draw
ing room, which is full of patriotic
souvenirs, Is the soene of much lively
conversation, almost always turning on
Hungarian affairs. At eleven o'clock
the General retires to bed, rising early
in the morning, when his drat business
is to read all the newspapers, which are
eenl .0 him in quantities from his na
tive country. For several years he has
been busy writing his mmoira, but the
work goes ou very slowly because tte
writer often allows bime!f to fall into
reveries, recalling past times, and be
sometimes remains for Lours thus ab
sorbed without writing a line ovi nbca
his sister comes to beg bin toreit sb
finds the eheet of paper before him still
empty. And the good old man. with
his white hair and vivacious evM,
smiles, rises from his chair, and Uking
bis S'Sler's arm walks up and down the
room.

Nine caBes out of ten the digeiiion is

that one of the finest cows was 7
sick, and a kind neighbor prosod tt

being ill and unable to examiue lbs cow.
concluded that the trouble came !

Another instance of equal success06"
curred with a young beifer which b
came badly bloated by eating green P

of correcting the acidity, but the '
