Cruelty tosCanaries. =

"A 'bird lover" sends this commun ica-
tion-applicable to sill localities the
New York Herald: "As a lover of song
birds beg a small space in: your valrr
able Complaint Book for the purpose to
call attention to species Of cruelty that
is being constantly practiced by ladies
who keep canaries, Of course I'M utter ig-'
norance OF the fact. During the present
intense heat I have been frequently
panied by seeing hapless canary birds
hung up their brass cages in the blazing
sunshine. To keep q bird for two or
three hours exposed to the rays of the
sun when the thermometer stands eighty
degrees or ninety degrees is simply to
shorten its life. All birds love to sport il
the sunlight, but 1t is contrary to common
sense to expect Gagged bird to be healthy
after continuous sun bath of six or
eight hours. If ladies desire that their
pets MAY enjoy the sun in natural way
let them cut round cover of green pap
er, width hole in the middle, and place
it on top Of the cage, SO that the little
creature may have shade whenever it
wishes to rest. l am urged to write this
note because to-day neighber of mine
found her bird dead in the cage, and,
judging from the symptoms, It was a
clear case of sunstroke. The best plan
is to put the bird out in the early morn
ing sunshine, but by eleven o'clock the
cage should be withdrawn to the shade
behind the window blinds; then health
will be secured and the number of sud
den deaths among these feathe-ed pets
greatly Reduced. You might as we'll
wrap child in a blanket and send it out
to play in the hot street as to keep q
canary in the sun all day.

The Umbrella Trick In Paris.

The thiefof the period has begunto be-
take himself to new system of warfare,
in which the defensive is largely com.
bined with the offensive art. A very
simple but effective stratagem has been
dong duty in the jewelers. shops in Paris
which has never before in its history been
so full Of "knights of industry" The
new trick is most easily performed by a
l'erson OF English appearance, inasmuch
as the US" of an umbrella is essential for
it; and, as every one knows, our country
men are never expected to abandon, even
under the clearest sky, a companion so
familiar to them. The operator, provid-
ed with his umbrella, enters shop with
it in his hand, having pulled down the
silk covering, but:not securely fastened
it, so that it's folds hang round the hand
lie in loose mass, forming sort of open
mouthed net. Into the net thus opened it
II not difficult to jerk a ring or two, or
even larger article, which will fall into
1t without the slightest sound, and remain
safely ensconced there AZ long as may be
required, If the shopman should miss
the bljou thus distracted, he will, Of
course, run after his customer, and
equally, as = matter Of course, the other
will protest his innocence. A search will
ensue' at the end of which, just as every
one IS beginning to be hopelessly baffled,
the owner of the umbrella will lie struck
BY bright thought, and, will himself
bring 20 light the desired object, apollo
giving in the blandest way, and making
merry over a joke which was 30 nearly, a.
he says, assuming a serious character.
The trick has been tried as usual once
too often, but it is dreadful to think what
successes it may have he'd throughout
month which has been so exceptionally
favorable for the use Of umbrellas in

A sao6d Horse.

Wind, says an old horseman, is the
grand secret of fast horse. Good lungs
will cover a multitude of faults, while,
on the other hand, perfection of shape
and form are useless, when the wind is
ut. The chest, therefore, in all cases
should be large and capacious. 1t NAV
vary somewhat in shape, according to the
service to which the horse is to be put.
If he is apt to be kept for slow work and
heavy drawing, the chest may be nearly
circular in form. because this shape is
one for strength and bulk to receive and
bear up against the pressure of the COL
lar, " lille at the seme time sufficient
room is secured for that expansion of the
lungs caused by slow, regular work.
But if the chest is circular, let it be at
the same time deep, or else the lungs
may be cramped. A horse with q
shallow chest is worthless for anv pur-
pose. The rule, then, is For a draueht
hoSse, circular but deep chest: but a.
you pass through the different degrees of
speed up to the racer and trottcr, the
chest will increase in depth, compared to
its roundness, until, for the highest rate
Of speed you must take a chest as deep
as q greyhound, and at the same time not
lacking in strength.

A Healthy BODY and . Clear Head.


If indigestion, constipation ana biliousness
torment the body, the head cannot be clear.
These disorders react upon the brain most
hurtfnlly, and produce cloudiness in the

dieo may be entirely dispelled by that peerless
Alternative, Hostctter's Stomach Bittcrs, which
cheers, refreshes and invigorates tie brain

digestion, assimilation and bilious secretion.
It expels the morbid humors which poison
the system through the bowels and urinary
passages, and exerts powerfully invigo.
rating influence as well. It's catharic action is
never irritating, violent or painful, but even,
natural and progressive. As an appetizer and
sleep promoter the Bitters is unrlvalled; it
mit:gates the inirmites of age, relieves the
ailments peculiar to the gentIer SEX arrests
