About Canary Birds.

Place the cage so that no draught of
air can strike the birds. Give nothing
to healthy birds but rape and canary
seed, water, cuttlefsh bone and gravel
paper or sand on the floor of the cage.
No hemp seed. A bath three times a
week. The room should rot be over
heated-never above seventy degrees.
When moulting (shedding featbers) keep
warm, avoid all ersughts of air. Give
plenty of German rape seed; a little
hard-boiled egg, mixed with crackers
grated fine, is excellent. Feed at q GER
tain hour in the morning. By observing
these simple rules birds may be kept in
fine condition for years. For birds that
are sick or have lost their song, procure
bird tonic at bird store. Very many
keep birds who mean to give their pets
all things to make them bright and
happy, and at the same time are guilty
of great cruelty in regard to perches.
The perches in cage should be each one
of different size, and the smallest as large
as a pipe stem. If perches are OF the
right sort no trouble is ever had about
the birds toe-nsils growing too long,
And of all things keep the perches Clean

A Sad Romance.

The determination of Gen. Sherman's
son, Thomas Ewing Sherman, to become
priest, revives the romantic story of
the life and love of one of Gen. Scott's
daughters. As the story goes, this
daughter fell deeply in love with mem
ber Of one eof the foreign legations. The
attachment was reciprocated, but the
match was so bitterly opposed by the old
hero of Lundy's Lane that it was broken
off. She cared nothing for the world
after that, and very soon was received as
nun in the Georgetown convent. Her
lover returned 10 his native country,
and was soon enrolled in the priesthood
OF the Catholic church. In subsequent
years he was ordered to Georgetown
college, and took his turn in hearing the
confes sion of the nuns at the convent.
On one of these occasions Miss Scott
knelt in the confessional to her former
lover, and under such circumstances q
recognition took place. She tainted,
went into rapid decline, and soon after
died, and he lett the country never again
to return. So Washington gossip
declares.

towels. Door locked outside with
string. This was too simple. Found
that the ten cents included nothing but
water. Could wash with the water OF
course, couldn't wipe with it. Rang the
bell. Waiter came. Ordered soap and

kinds of towels. Thus-peignoir, serre-

Catalogue, and finally ordered the first

peignoir. Turned out to be no towel at
all, but hot night gown open in front.
Felt as if just from the oven. Extra
charge for peignow, six cents. Laid by
peignoir, and concluded to try again.
Rang for another towel. Chose this

Volcanoes in the Moon.

1t has long been a mooted point
whether active volcanoes still exist in
the moon. In 1887 Sir William Her.
schel announced that he had observed
three volcanoes in actual operation in
different parts of the moon, the diameter
of the principal crater being about three
miles. Other observers have described
similar phenomena, but the prevailing
opinion among astronomers st the pres
ent time is against the existence of active
lunar volcanoes. In May of last year,
however, DR.. II. J. Klein of Kholn,
while examing the moon, noticed great
black crater on the Mare Vaperum, and
little to the northwest of the we'll
known crater Hyginus. He describes it
as being nearly as large as Hyginus, or
about three miles in diameter, as being
deep and full of shadow, and as forming
conspicuous object on the dark gray
Mare Vaporum. Having frequently
observed this region during the last
twelve years, DR.. Klein felt certain that
no such crater existed there at the time
of his previous examination. He COM
municated his observations to DR..
Schmidt OF Athens, the veteran seleno-
grapher, who assured him that this
crater was absent from all his numerous
drawings of this part of the lunar sur
face; neither is it shown by schroter,
Lohrmann, nor Medler. Last April
Dr. Klein made his discoveries known
generally, and they seem to have been
confirmed by other observers. The Mare
vaporum, in which the new crater is
situated, lies close to the center of the
visible surface of the moon, so that
objects in this region are very slightly
affected by the lunar librations' 1t is
alec part of the moon which has been
most carefully studied by eminent
selenographers. Had this new crater
of DR.. Klein's appeared in less we'll
known region, much doubt would have
been felt as to whether it has previously
existed or not.

4 Negro Funeral in Georgia

Correspondence to the Boston Transcript
dropped into church few moments
to listen to the funeral discourse Of
colored preacher. He was telling the
story of the FIVE foolish virgins. " Now,
my BRETHREN" said he, in tones one would
think would wake the dead, dis good
brudder lynn yere wa MT no foolish vir"
gin. He had his oil all ready, and good
oil, too. He amt a crying out for ell
bout dis time. Yer see, dem foolish
virgins, dey went to sleep and when dey
woke up dar war der lamps, de wick war
dar; dey had matches all ready ; ebbery-
ting was complete, but dey didn't hab no
oil. Oar war heap trouble den, | tell
you. Dey just went cryin' AMI scream
ing chow the preacher screamed y for oil.
It warn't no use, do. I spec like Rich
ard, dey cried out, MY kingdom for a
horse do in dis yer case it warn't no
horse, only drop of oil, just 'nuff to
make flicker. Dis good brudder's lamp
war running ober lie war wise virgin"
And the congregation swayed and
moaned and cried aloud. I followed the
funeral procession to the grave under the
pines-the moaning pines, the music of
which is 80 like that of our Newport
beach-and stood, the only white person
among them, and watched them lower the
coffin into its last resting place. This
they did with the rope rein, which they
unbitched from the horse in the wagon
which served as hearse. Never shall |
forget that scene-all those black faces
turned towards the setting sun, the
weird music of their funeral chant, the
means and strange cries of the whole
asse embly as the red clay was thrown in
upon the colored brudder," whose
lamp burned brightly. Don't yer cry
no mo-; but sing Home, Sweet Home
"a negro hymn as sweetly as de departed
is aingin' it wild de angels dis mint"
And came away, the music of their
hymn growing fainter and fainter as |
came up through the rose-scented town,
till they were far behind me, but shall
never cease to hear that song.

Flying-Fish.

The mechanism of the movements of
the fying-fsh through the air has been
described with much detail by Professor
Moebius, of Kiel, who concludes, from
the observations of those who have pub
lished on the subject and his own, that
the fying-fsh dart from the water with
gre at speed without reference to the
course of the wind and waves. They
make no regular flying motions with
their pectoral and ventral fins, but
spread them out quietly, though very
rapid vibrations can be seen in the out
stretched pectoral fins. The hinder part
of the body, while the fish moves in the
air, hangs somewhat lower than the fore
part of the body. They usually fly
farther against the wind than with it, or
If their track and the direction of the
wind form an angle. Most fying-6sh
which fly against or with the wind con-
tinue in their whole course of fight in
the same direction in which they come
out of the water. Winds which blow
from one side on to the original track of
the fish bend their course inward. All
fish which are at distance from the
vessel hover in their whole course in the
air near the surface of the water. II in
strong winds they fly against the course
of the waves, then they fly little
higher; sometimes they cut with the
tail into the crest of the same. Only
such fying-fsh rise to considerable
height (at the highest, by chance, five
meters above the surface of the sea)
whose course in the air becomes obstruct-
ed by vessel. In the daytime flying
fish seldom fall on the deck of the ship,
but mostly in the night; never in a
calm, but only when the wind blows.
For the most part they fall on ships
which do not rise higher than two or
three yards above the water, when they
are sailing on the wind, or with half
wind, and are making good course.
Flying-fsh never come on board from
the lee side, but only on the windward
side. Before vessels which pass be-
tween their swimming schools the fish
fly into the air as before predaceous fish
or cetaceans.

An eminent Boston physician has
found in the juice of the milkweed q
remedy for suppurating wounds. The
time of healing varied from twenty-tour
to thirty-six hours; hut in each instance
now skin formed completely across. He
states that the only essential point is to
dry the wounded surface thoroughly and
gently with bletting paper before apply
ing the milkweed juice. After the juice
is applied, and whie the healing is in
progress, piece of blcttlng paper is
used to cover the surface.

painted her face and was always white,
tinged with a rosy color resembling a
rose. I thought the colors were natural,
but since she got married she paints her
face no more, and it has become as black
as coal" The lawyers told the heart
broken man that it would be necessary
to try fresh paint or soap before pro-
ceeding with the case.
