Canaries.

Rather more than three hundred years
ago, a ship partly laden with little green
birds captured in the Canary Islands,
having been wrecked near Elba, the
birds made their escape, flew to the
island, and there settled themselves.
Numbers of them were caught by the
inhabitants, and on account of their
sprightly vivacity and the brilliancy of
their voice they soon became great IA
vorites, and rapidly spread over Europe.
The original color OF the canary is not
the bright yellow with which its feathers
are generally tinted, but a kind of dap
pied olive green, black and yellow, either
color preuominating according to cir
cumstances. BY careful arrangements
the bird-fanciers are able to procure
canaries of every tint between the three
colors, having instituted q set of rules
by which the quality and arrangement
of the coloring is reduced to regular
system. Still the original dappled green
is always apt to make its appearance,
and even when two colOred birds are
mated, a green one is pretty sure to be
found in the nest. For my own part l
care little for the artificial varieties pro-
duced by the fanciers, and 10 my mind
an intelligent bird and good songster Is
not one whit the less attractive because
the colors of its pumago are not ar
ranged precisely according to the fam
cier's rules.

The Sc0lp AQain.

Tide inquest on that mysterious scalp
was resumed at the Coroner's Office TO-
day. DR.. Walton, Professor OF Anatomy
in the Pulte Medical College, was the
principal witness examined. He testi-
lied that on the night Of the 2lst OF De-
cember corpse was brought to the Col
lege from Potters Field for dissec-
ti0n; that all of the head,
except part of the scalp and
the skin of the face had been severed
from the trunk, and that these had been
left hanging to it in shreds. That they
were subsequently cut off and thrown
into the ash barrel by the janitor; that
the hair on the face was distributed in
about the same manner as that on the
scalp, and was of about the same color.
The body had been taken to Potter's
Field from the Cincinnati Hospital.
A German barber, who lives at No. 401
Vine street, without being sworn stated
that he recognized the features to be
those of man who often visited his shop
and whose name was Schultze. He re-
cognized him not only by the color of his
hair and whiskers, but by the shape and
length of The neck and wrinkles on the
face, and felt sure in his own mind that
the scalp was that of the missing man,
although not positive enough to swear.

Keep Your Promise.

A boy borrowed a tool from q
carpenter promising to return it
at night. Before evening he was
sent away on an errand and did
not return until late. Before go
ing he was told that his brother
should see that the article was re-
turned. After he had come home
he inquired and found that the tool
had not been sent to its owner.
He was much distressed to think
that his promise had not been kept,
but was persuaded to go to sleep
and rise early and carry it home
the next morning. By Daylight he
was up, and nowhere was the tool
to be found. After a long and
fruitless search, he set off to his
neighbours in great distress, to ac-
knowledge his fault. But how
great was his surprise to find the
tool on his neighbor's door stone I
And then it appeared from the
prints of his little bare feet In the
mud, that the lad had got up in
his sleep and carried the tool home
and gone to bed again without
knowing it. OF course a boy who
is prompt in his sleep was prompt
when awake. He lived respected
had the confidence of his neigh
bors, and was placed In many Of
fees of trust and profit. If all
grown folks felt as this boy did,
there would be good many tracks
of bare feet found some of these
bright mornings; and what piles
of books and tools would be found
at their owners doori

Salt and Ashes as Insect Des-
trOyers.

A correspondent of the Cincin-
ati Gazette gives the following re-
cipe, which he says he has success
fully tried:
"Mix thoroughly one quart Of
fine salt with three pecks Of wood
ashes, and scatter the mixture over
and around the potato plants while
the dew is on in the morning or
just after q shower. Do the same
in o few days if the bugs should
reappear.
This application of salt and ashes
is equally effective in destroying
bugs and insects when applied in
the same way on rose bushes; or
on pumpkin, squash, melon and
cucumber vines; in fact, on cab
bage and plants Of all kinds.
