The Season Of Cheap Food.

( Already, as we have shown food
and clothing have on the average gone
back to ante-war prices, and as COM
pared with 20 years ago the wages OF
labor are higher than the cost Of victu-
al and raiment. Still, 1t Is undOubted-
ly true that working people are not as
q rule doing as well now as then, and
are neither contented nor saving so
much money. Aside from the tempo
rary distress OF the want Of employ
ment by large classes, the Increased
difficulty of this generation over the
former in making both ends meet lies
i'm the pregnant fact that everybody is
living better now than then-that the
entire range of society has experienced
an increase of wants and necessities in
the way of comforts; that in brief the
whole scale of living has greatly adj
vanced. tts. ~ hlet ~ '6 ~
No family that can 20 back rs years
and make contrast OF Its habits then
and at present will fail to bealmost star
tied with the changes In these respects.
A greater variety of food, greater
variety of clothing, a greater variety
of amusements, and larger means OF
education, are i'm order-the whole
scale of social civilization and habit
has been pushed forward into new do
mains. No study either Of the labor
or of the social question is intelligent,
that does not make chief account oil
this revolution. No analysis Of the
wage question can stand that does not
recognize both the fact of its existence
and the necessity of its continuance. =,
This increase In the comforts of ex.
istence is the gift of machinery and
the great agencies of communication,
in cheapening production and multi.
plying the means of grace to body and
mind. What were luxuries q quarter
of century ago, are practical necessi'
ties now. Conveniences and indul-
gences then rarely attainable or totally
unknown, have become q part Of oul
essential daily comfort; and we can
not put back the elements of life t.
the old standards, and,we should no
try to. We can study and teach how
to get the most of all our new blessing
at the lowest possible cost. And thu
is not only the philanthropy, but tn
necessity, of our day. i,.~tst

The one branch of trade that Is MAX,

The Timidity OF Birds.

The oriole now builds his hanging
nest with the pieces of string, horse
hair. warn, and carpet ravelings, which
are to be found in abundance about
houses and barns; and 1 have seen u
nest into which three fish-lines, with
their hooks and sinkers, several yards
of kite-tail from a Telegraph wire, and
d shoe string were interviewer. or
course, 1t is not natural for the bird to
use such material as this, but the odds
and ends furnished by man are much
better fitted to its needs than the grass
and fibres used by its less civilized an
cestors. This change certainly shows
power to improve in accordance with
changed conditions; but 1t may per-
haps be said that 1t Is not an example
of change in an instinct, but simply In
a non-hereditary habit. The fear OF
man shown by almost all the smaller
animals, Is in many cases newly ac-
.ouired, for in regions uninhabited by
man It is not known, and 1t Is only as
the animals of such regions learn, by
zen efatjons of persecution, that man
is highly and peculiarly dangerous,
that they come to avoid him; yet this
|. fear "a truly instructive, for 1t Is shown
bythe young as weilas the adult. The
testimony OF travellers as to the tame
ness OF animals I'm the regions where
they have never been persecuted, is
weli.known. For instance, Darwin
I'm his "Journal'i Of the voyage of the
Beagle, says: "This disposition Is
common to all the terrestrial species
of the Galapagos Islands, namely, to
tile hooking thrush; the finches, wrens,
tyrant fiy-catchers, the dove and car
rion buzzard. All of them often ap.
pfoach sufficiently near to be killed
with switch, and sometimes, as 1
myself tried, with capor hat. "A gun

INfLUENCE OF THE FOREST,

Forests produce rain. Under the infiu-
ence OF vertical sun rays trees exhale the
aqueous vapors which their leaves have
absorbed from the atmosphere, and in
contact with the night air or any stray
current of lower temperature, these va
pors discharge rain showers even in mid
summer, and at great distance from the
sea.

By the extirpaiion of forest the climate
OF the entire Orbis Romanus has been
changed from the summer temperature of
West Virginia to the furnace heat of New
Mexico and Arizona.
Besides this, the forest by shade in sum-
mer and fuel in winter protects US direct

and at the foot of high mountains inter-
poses mechanical barrier between the
valleys andavalanches in the north, and
floods in the south. The water-torrents,
which not only flood and damage the low

THE CANARY A VERY SENSIBLE BIRD.

AS general rule, you cannot give a
bird too much fresh air. Even in the win
ter time, although it is never safe or expe-
dient to hang the cage in the window, it
is advisable to throw open the window
once or twice day and let in the air.
Canaries are tender creatures, but tbey
will stand low temperature-as low as
90 degrees-providing they be out of the
reach of draughts. A temperature not
lower than 60 degrees is perhaps more de-
sirable, and this should be maintained dav
end night if possible. More birds sicken
and die from diseases contracted bv ex-
posure to night chllness than from anv
other known causes. Again, the air Of
the room should not be overheated or su(
fused with gas. If of morning You
should chance to observe the same tinpe
gathering on the wings of your canary
that is constantly noticeable on silver plate
in winter. the chances are that coal-gas
has much to do with il. On the other
hand, the odor of tobacco smoke. instead
OF inluring, seems to have the tendency
to improve the brightness of the plumage.
and at the same time to put more vigor in
TO the canary's song. Were | writing
without some experience, | should unbes-
itatlngly say, never subject your birds at
all to tobacco smoke. But facts appear to
controvert any counsel of the order; for
my own birds, whenever tobacco is light
ed. will, if the cage-doors are open, i'm
mediately fly toward the smoker, and vie
with each other in getting into the densest
cloud. Having shifted the aroma, they
will light upon the shoulder, or the back
of the chair, and pour forth the sweetest
harmonies of the day. Permit me to sug-
gest, then, plenty OF fresh air. and even
moderate temperature and occasionally
tobacco smoke. BE sure, however, that
during and after smoking, a current of
fresh air is allowed to pass through and
to ventilate the eroom.-Appleton's Journal.
