Canary Birds.

The canary bird, which is 50 very
popular In almost every community,
was originally imported from the Cana.
ry Islands, situated in the North At
lantic ocean and under the government,
of Spain. They are seven in number
of volcanic origin, and contain 3,25t
square miles. The color of the wild
canary is dusky gray, while the do
nesticated birds are of a great variety
Of colors, green, yellow, white, brown
etc.
There are altogether some thirty va.
rieties Of these birds. Those which have
the upper part of the body of dusky
green or linnet brown, and the undel
part of a yellowish green, with dark
brown eyes, are the strongest and mos'
nearly resemble the primitive race
The yellow and the white often have
red eyes and are the most tender. The
chestnut are the most uncommon
and have a middle rank, for strength
and length Of life, between the two ex
tremes. The most essential point IL
selecting a young bird is to get ONT
with fine tone. and seclude it 80 thai
it may learn nothing bad, for a bird
like children may be easily spoiled
Some birds prefer to sing alone, while
others sing best In company and in thls
respect it may be well to humor them
IL is important to distribute to birds
every day the proper allowance OF
fresh food, as then they will sing regu-
larly. About two spoonfuls of dry food
is sufficient for day for bird. Any
one wishing further information should
call on Professor Parker, No. 1O3 East
Second street, as he has been studying
ornithology very closely for some time
back.

so, he replied : "Only Pennsylvania

A Val luable Baby.

The baby that is now sustaining the
infantile character in the comedy OF
Confusion that was performed at the
Walnut street Theatre last week, and is
now at the Arch street Opera House, is
proving bonanza to its parents. While
the company was in Boston, it was
decided to use real baby for the charac.
ter instead of a rag doll, and an adver.
tisement was inserted in the papers, in
answer to which twelve anxious
mothers, each with baby, made their
appearance
After carefully examining them this
one was chosen. and when the mother
was told that she would receive a
salary of $40 a week for the child, and
her expenses to accompany and take
care of it, she seemed almost beside
herself with joy
1t was afterwards ascertained that
the mother was very worthy woman
but in great distress, as she had two
other small children and sick hus-
band at home. AS soon as these facts
were made known to the company
substantial purse was raised for their
relief, and Manager Stetson increased
the baby's salary, so that it is now
earning enough to support the whole
family
