How to Pet Canaries.
Says a writer on canaries : "In this way
I answer the question of 'how I had snch
luck with birds.' Simply by allowing the
birds to attend to their own affars, and by
tmg them uuderstand their mistrcss
would never harm them. Also, by accus
toming them to plenty of light and air and
company rather than, as commended in
books, keeping the cage in a kark room for
fear of frirrhtcninjr the birds. Make just
half the fuss directed in bird books over
the matter aud you will have double the
success iu raisin?: birds. Never give them
sugar, but all the red pepper they will cat.
It is the best thing for them. And if '0ur
bird feels hoarse at any time put a piece of
fat salt pork in the cage, and see how the
little fellow will enjoy it, and listen for the
result. Give him flax seed once m a while,
and if he appear dumpy occasionally give a
diet of bread and water, with - red pepper
sprinkled in. Open the cage door and give
3'our pets the freedom of the room ; soou
they will come at your eall and fly to meet
you whenever your voice is heard. I had
one who came regularly to my desk as 1
sat writing each day, and disputed with
fluttering wings and open beak my humble
risrht to the inkstand. And when I had
reasoned him out of his mistaken notion
he would perch himself on my pen-handle
(no very comfortable proceeding for me)
and watch gravely as I wrote. I have
many a time also discovered him in the act
of eating off the corners of my paper, even
to the title of my article. Another thought
nothing of trotting about on my head and
shoulders, and even hopped under my
throat to nestle against my chin. He would
take his bath as I held the cup in my
hand. Another would fly down or up
stairs to me whenever I called him", and
many a time when I have been out he has
welcomed my return by flying down the
stairs and singing at the top of his voice
all the while, until, at last, perched on my
shoulder, he would accompany me to my
room.
A Wonderful Piece of Mechanism.
A corref pondent at Donaldson writes to
the Pottsville .Journal as follows about a
wonderful piece of mechanism : Talk about
that great apostolic clock which was on ex
hibition in Pottsville some time ago, and
which is now before the public at some
other place ! It cannot cpmparc with the
wonderful piece of mechanism which lias
been made by a man of our place. This
also is in the shape of a clock. It is a
tank to represent the sea, and iu it is a large
whale as natural looking as life. A ship in
distress appear on the sea, and the crew
are in the act of throwing a man overboard.
The whale comes up out of the water, and
as its head appears its mouth gradually
opens until it reaches the man thrown out
of the ship, when it suddenly swallows him
up. No deception is practiced, lhe man
passes down the whale's throat, and the
whale sinks into the tank. "Simultaneously
a figure representing an angel appears in a
cloud and hovers around the place where
the whale appeared. After the lapse of
three-quarters of a minute the whale reap
pears, and gradually opening his mouth
casts the man out upon the shore. At this
the angel and cloud disappear, and a figure
representing God appears near the man.
This scene of course represents the Bible
story of Jonah aud the whale.
Ill the same case is a figure representing
Captain Jack, of the Modoc Indians, who
was hung by the government, striking on a
bell the seconds he had to live before execu
tion. Suddenly a door opened and a group
of Iudians march around him. lhey tueu
pass out through another door, which opens
for their exit.
The Maoris, or New Zealanders.
From an article entitled "New Zealand."
in
Applctons' American Cyclopaedia,
revised edition, we nuotc as follows : The
Maoris, the primitive inhabitants of New
Zealand, are a tribe of the Polynesian fam
ily. The average height of the men are
five feet six and a quarter inches ; average
weight, one hundred and forty pounds.
Their bodies and arms are longer, and their
legs shorter, than those of Englishmen of
the same stature. The New ealander s
hair is generally coarse and black, though
sometimes rusty red. lie has good teeth
a broad nose, dark brown cj'cs, large mouth
and an olive-brown skin, which in some is
so far that blushes can be seen, while in
few the skin is dark almost to blackness
The women are not handsome, though
when young they are graceful and pleasing.
with mild eyes, pathetic voices, and great
n T . . . .IX-
ease ot manner, in tattooing, tne !cw
Zealanders have outstripped every people
Tattooing on the face they term iuokot and
on the body icnakano, the term tattooing
though of Polynesian origin, being unknown
in their dialect, lhe male Nevr Zealand
crs tattoo their faces, hips, and thighs ; the
women their upper lips. Tho figures arc
alike among persons of the same tribe
The pitrment used is charcoal made from
kauri gum and other vegetable substances
Under the skin the charcoal looks blue, and
crows dark in the course of Years. fcnncc

A curious anatomical discovery is sahl
to have been made by a doctor in Japan
He says that the check bono of the Japanese
is double in many cases, instead of being a
single structure. I he additional bone is
united to the other by a suture, and it is
believed to be peculiar to the Japanase race
He Knew What Was Coming.
The Providence Journal tells the fol
lowing old story, which is worth repeating :
A careful, old-fashioned man a few year
ago came into town to sell Sonic' slrafc's fn rtr
bank. "Why do you wish to sell ttxciii ?"
he was asked. "You cannot invest your
money better. The bank is well managed,
the dividends are certain, regular and
satisfactory." Our friend from the coun
try replied : "I know all that. The banfe
is well enough ; but I don't want stock hi
a bank where the cashier, keeps a race-horse
and bets on the course." When the cashier
defaulted, a few years adfterward, the
overcautious old fogy did not hold any of
the shares, which went down fiftecu . per
cent.
