The Canary a Very Sensible Bird.

As general rule, you cannot give
bird too much fresh air. Even in
the winter time, although it is never
safe or expedient to hang the cage 10
the window, it is advisable 10 throw W
open the window once or twice day
and let in the air. Canaries are ten
der creatures, but they will stand a
low temperature-as low as fifty de-
grees-provided they be out of reach
Of draughts. A temperature not low
er than 60 degrees is perhaps more
desirable, and this should be main
taineI day and night if possible.
More birds sicken and die from dis
ease contracted by exposure to high
chilliness than from any other known
causes. Again, the air of the room
should not be overheated or suffused
with gas. 1t of morning you should
chance TO observe the same tinge
gathering on the wings of your cana
ry that Is constantly noticeable on
silver plate in winter, the chances
are that coal gas has much 10 do
with il. On tie other hand, the
odor OF tobacco smoke. instead Of in
juring, seems 10 have the tendencv
TO improve the brightness of the
plumage, and at the same time to put
more vlgor into the canary's song.
Were | writing withou; some expe-
rience, | should unhesitatingly say,
never subject your birds al all TO to-
baoco smoke But facts appear to
controvert any counsel ofthst order :;

is lighted, will, if the cage doors are
open, Immediately fy toward the

ing sniffed the aroma, they will ligb;

even moderate temperature and occa-
sionally tobacco smoke. Be sure,
however, that during and after smok-

oh wild and dark was the winter night
When the emigran' ship went down,
But just outside OF the harbor bar,
In the sight OF the startled town,
The winds howled, and The sea roared,
And never a soul could sleep,
Sise the little ones on their mothers' breasts
Too young TO watch and weep
No boat could live In the angry surf,
No rope could reach the land
There were bold, brave hearts upon the shore
There was many ready hand;
Women who prayed, and men who sroye
When prayers and work were vain
For the sun rose over the awful void
And the silence Of the main.
Ali day the watchers paced the sands
All day they scanned the deep;
All night the booming minute guns
Echoed from stcept to steep,
Give up thy dead, Ocruel sea -
They cried athwart the space;
But only baby's fragile form
Escaped from It's embrace
Only one little child Of all
Who with the ship went down,
That night, when the happy babies slept
So warm in the sheltered town,
Wrapped In the glow Of the moraing 'ight,
tlay on the shifting sand,
As fair as sculpsor's marble dream,
With a shell in Its dimpleJ hani.
There were none to tell OF itsraee or kia,

When the sobbing children crowded to ask
The name Of the baby dead.
