CANARY BIRDS The following facts relat-
ing to the treatment of Canary Birds, will be
found useful to those readers Of the Gazette
who own them. The canary bird is one that
does not require much attention, but what is
required should be done regularly and with
care. IF the birds are wanted to sing, there
ought to be only one in Z cage, as they will not
sing when together. An ordinary fancy cage,
such as is to be bought anywhere, will do
For breeding purposes much larger cage is
required. Put small square box or l small
willow basket in the cage, and then throw in
some lint or bits Of hempen rope, and the
birds will make their nests. So soon as the
young birds learn to eat alone, they should be
taken from their parents and put in another
cage. Keep the cages out Of the draught, and
feed the birds with canary seed. Now and
then give them hard boiled egg, but when they
have young ones give them eggs every day.
The cages should be kept clean, and always
supplied with fresh water.

The Alexandria Canal is now 10 splendid

stantial manner and we now look forward to
some of the material benefits, so long deprived

We shall take pleasure in taking care of, and
Introducing to our port, with its superior ad.
vantages for shippiog, all interests, however

daily invite their business.
