All birds at this season require extra
food. Canaries should have all through
the year German summer rape, Sicily
canary and millet seeds mixed in equal
parts, and care should be taken to have
the seeds fresh and of best quality.
In addition to the seeds feed canaries
daily. one fourth part Of a hard-boiled
egg, both yelk and white, and mix with
it as much cracker dust as can be taken
up on ten-cent piece. Fresh water,
both for drinking and for the bath. and
plenty of coarse, washed gravel daily
will usually keep q lbifdlfn health.
Twice week give piece OF sweet apple
or lettuce. If the bird has not yet fin
ished moulting keep him in an even
temperature-cf sixty-five or seventy de-

dressed by Worth, and adored BY the
multitude, and all for what? For
few hospital children to enjoy. They
were brought down into the parlors to
receive their gifts, and then they were
served in the dining room to regular
swell dinner. OF course the doctor was
there, and they say she looked as happy
as girl. She had only met him the
night before for the first time since she
was girl. There must be q vein of TO

have taken such q freak into her head.
Well-bred people should never have
Freaks
"Yet this must have done great deal
of good. Think of the blessing to those
wretched children. Inever thought she
seemed happy in society"
'.It must have been her own fault,

And mercy's stars shine overhead with men,
cries brave and bright.
Mid all the weary paths Of pain there shone
loves guiding star,
And lights of life through clouds of gloom
were twinkling from afar;
Bright angel hands were leading on when all
was drear and dark,
And over wrong there rose song as sweet as
lay OF lark.
SO rich and poor, with bounding youth, and
weak and trembling age.
Find gems OF love engraven deep on memory's
And through the Ssrkened woof Of life that
meets us from the past
The silver warp is woven in. and will be to the
last.
Then let us watch the seasons leave without Q
coward fear,
And greet with open hand and heart each
swiftly coming year;
Regarding evil deeds of old with Justly keen
regret, s
for us yet.
Be kind and earnest while we may, brave,
honest just and true,
Nor care that treasures of the past must yield
unto the new;
For mercys garments Father Times swift
moving limbs enfold,
And they who strew his path with flowers shall
reap hundred fold.
