How 20 Pick u Good Canary.

In selecting canaries q few instruc-
tions may be found useful as well as
profitable. The mealy and the yellow
are the two varieties most priced, as
they possess the greatest excellence OF
song, together with the greatest beauty
OF color As relates to song, those birds
are most valuable that have not only
their own notes, but also initiate the
notes OF the lnnet, nightingale
and woodlark. The musical birds are
mottled or mesly in color, the bright
yellow colored birds being less strong
and hardy in the feathers, but are often
chosen on account of their beautiful
color. Care should be taken TO select
canaries that are about a year old, which
a person acquainted with the species
can tell by the legs and feet. The legs
and feet of the young birds appear
smooth and glossy. with the toe-nails
rather short; the old birds have their
scales rusty and rough, the toe-nalls
long, AOu tuc lttl 6Uulc"udt WOIu "a
year old bird, well taken care OF, will
sing until it reaches the age Of eight or
ten years 1t is much better to pur.
chase a male than female bird, as the
latter hardly sing at all. The male
bird has short, stout bill, wide between
the eyes, with full round head, while
the female is more slender. The
long breed canaries, bred for
style, shape and beauty, orig.
inslIy imported from Germany,
were very much sought after number
of yeare ago, but they prove to be very
poor singers and very weak birds

How to Treat the New Horse Disease.

How to Treat the New Horse Disease.
The Sanitary Committee Of the New
York Board Of Health presents the fol-
lowing report at a special session OF the
Board, and the document was ordered
on file:
The Sanitary Com mmittee respectfully
report that in connection with Dr..
Liantard, veterinary surgeon to the
Board, they have examined the new
phase of the epidemic among horses
The disease spoken OF as dropsy and
gl,nders are sequela, or results OF the
former affection, and resembles purpura
hemorrhsgica or scurvy of the human
subject. The blood is 90 deteriorated
that it escapes from the vessels into the
cellular tissues under the skin. so as 10
cause large ecchymosts into and
through the mucous membranes,
giving rise to bloody dis
charges, and even into the cancelled
portions Of the bone. The red globul.s
are in . state Of disintegration. and the
serum escaping from the vessels collects
under the skin in the most dependent
portions Of the body, causing the ap-
pearaDces known ss dropsy. The COL
iections, il bloody, under the skin and
the discharges from the nose have been
mistaken for the svellings sod dis
charges peculiar to glauders. This de-
struction OF the integrity of the blood
seems to be largely due to the effect Of
the preceding lever. especially in the
case Of horses which have previously
been poorly fed, over-Worked and kept
in ill-ventilsted sod filthy stables.
Another and powerful excirine cause is
excessive medication during the
fever and too early exposure to cold,

ANACONDA IN MIcHIGAN.-The Detroit
Free Press says: A day pr two ago Abra-
ham Hart. having rented the building on the
northern corner of Wood ward avenue and
Bridge street. went into the cellar for the
purpose of clearing out mass of rubbish
that had accumulated there during several
months while The premises had been unoc-
cupied. As he reached the foot OF the stairs,
with a shovel in his hand. the first thing he
met was an enormous anaconda coiled and
evidently prepared for assault. llart's
first instructive purpose was to bolt. and to
leave his snakeshp monarch of the cellar.
but fearing that he might not be able to effect
successful retreat. he boldly stood his
ground. Using the shovel as weapon, he
met the snakes onslaught pluckiiy, and
soon succeeded in vanquishing his foe by a
few quick blows with the sharp edges OF his
handy weapon. The snake was subsequent
ly found to measure twelve feet in length and
six inches in thickness in its largest part
Its presence there is explained bv the fact
that Fall the building was occupied several
weeks by a sideshow, and the proprietor
thinking his anaconda dead, threw it into
the cellar. 1t turned out, however, that il
was OILY topid, and came out in the Spring
as lively as cricket, and fierce enough to
attack anything palatable, from rabbit to
an elephant.
