The Care OF Birds.

A bird fancier's great enemy is the
bird mite or louise. They are so very
small and keep so close during the day
that you will not be able TO see them
with the naked eve, but wait until lamp
lighting and then take even low
power microscope and you will find
them by the quantity. 1t is their ma
ture to annoy the birds at night while
the bird is at rest. Now take advan-
tage Of This and use remedies 10 destroy
them while huddled together IN the
crcvices in the cage. You will also
find them in the nest where the young
are.
The little ones may be fed ever so
well, but still they will get bloodless
and droop. The mites literally suck
the life blood ont Of them. The mother
bird is often blamed for not feeding
when the trouble i with the mites
The price Of bird is constant and cN-
ternal vigilance.
Before nesting, the cage should be
carefully examined aud some substance
like gasoline should bc used all over the
cage, especially in the cracks and small
holes. then apply the insect powder
while il is moist, This should be used
every two weeks if you suspect lice.
To make nest take wire for foun
dation. common screen wire is better
than the reas!y-made nests, then sew on
IA cloth over IL. ard then sprinkle fine
tobacco or summer sayory freely on
this. cover with another cloth and fast
IL on wire bent like 3 letter L. This
viii allow YOU 10 let il project from the
side of the cage and viii secure greater
cleanliness. BE sure and shape the nest
well and give the bird but little ma
tcrai for building. After the young
are well feathered and before they are
old enough 10 jump out of the nest. take
them down and give them a clean nest
made rs well as the other.
Remember. never put anything on
the birds 10 Kill lice. You viii be quite
as likely 10 kill the birds. A lady day
or two ago was telling me that the bird
store simpleton told her TO apply freely
ON the birds. She used the insect pow
der and killed both old and young.
Bird dealers are not oracles on birds
They are in most eases selling for
money. They should be naturalists or
not follow the business. Consult bird
fancicr and naturalist
Look 10 The cages every month dur
ing the winter and you will be doubly
paid These few points are from an
old bird fancier who gives them for
what they are worth.-DcfrOu Post.

OF course when one has retinue of
servants il is easier in one way to
approach ideal housekeeping than it is
when ore does everything or has il done

servants know very well the difficulties
of having things just as they would
have them. and many housekeeper
finds temporary relief from the necessity
of overseeing Others, in doing without
them.

diction rather than equipage- If one
must choose between things desirable
the choice of course depends on the
person choosing. But people that have
made their choice should not allow
themselves to regret the absence of what
they have deliberately not chosen.-N.

The Delights of Hanging.

The late Gen. Martin Burke, says a
correspondent who spent some time in
Fort Lafayette. had peculiar idea of
agreeable conversation. His custom al
ways Of an evening, during the incarcel-
alton of one of the Confederates under
sentence of death, was to call at the
prisoners cell door and expatiate upon
the advantages and delights of the meth
cd by which the prisoner was to be exc
cuted with those formerly in vogue.
"No shaky trap-doos that you need
be afraid of tumbling through" the
General would cry, warming with his
subject; "no sickeniag sense of falling
and bringing up short, and spinning
round-no, nothing of that sort; but
you are just standing here, and over
there one of my men cuts little piece
of cord and down comes the weigh, and
up you go, soaring like bird, sir-soar-
ing like bird !! "

tails Tor consideration in committee. If
a Dill pass its second reading, day is
named for committee. When the House
resolves itself into committee, the
Speaker leaves the chair, the mace is
removed from the table. and to the
chairman OF committee are deputed
many of the functions and much of the
authority of the Speaker. While the
Speaker Is in the chair, a member
can speak only once on a particular
motion. In committee, he NAV sneak
as often as he likes-a variation Of rula
which has striking effect upon the tome
OF the sitting. With the Speaker in the

presence of the Chairman of committee
they are conversational. When a bill

introduced in the House of Commons, it
goes to the House of Lords, where it
proceeds through precisely similar
stages.
In the House of Lords the President
is the Lord Chancellor, a parsonage
nominally of greater dignity, but not en-
dowed with nearly so much power as the
Speaker of the House of Commons. In
the matter of regulation of its procedure,
the House of Lords is pure democracy.
The Lord Chancellor has not even the
privilege of nominating successive
speakers. If two or three peers are
moved at the same moment to rise, and
none is inclined to give way, the Lord
Chancellor is quite helpless. The diff
Guilty is settled by some peer on one or
the other side of the House moving that
the Lord Knowswho or the Lord Tom
noddy shall be heard. if the matter
were further disputed, there would be
division. When bills have passed
through all their stages in both houses,
they receive the royal assent, in the
present reign always by commission,
and are thereafter added to the statute
