A New Deception.

Palming off painted sparrows for can
aries is fraud frequently practiced by
the bird fanciers ofbondon. is, more
over, a singular fact that, no matter how
many imitation song birds may be in
the market, every ieathered imposter
finds huver. 1t is only when the small
.dyed thing is taken home that its spuri-
Gus plumage betrays its real character.
That cheating of so palpable n kidd
should he successful reflects upon The
general intelligence of the English peo-
pie. The sparrow is not tuneful bird,
nor has nature endowed it with any en-
thusiasm for music. Its general conduct,
however, does not resemble that of the
bird that bears the fortunate Canaries

slimness of fern about the latter should
be the despair of its burly, base and I'M

be the regulations of courtship during
the transi tional epoch, answers as fol-
lows: "Nominally and theoretically
the man still does all the counting, but
really and practically women are taking
the matter in their own hands. Enough
of the restraint of chivalry has remained
to prevent them from openly proposing
marriage to the object Of their choice
but there is a thousand ways in which a
lady of tact may WOO and yet not trans

one-sided courting of knightly days and
the custom which will prevail when wo-

perfected society of the future. In a
word, courtship is now evidently drift

over his work bench with a dreamy, Sc
rious face. A young man was learning
to play the coronet in the next room.
"Is the banjo still growing in populari-
tyr" the reporter inquired.
20, yes, there's a geeat demand for
the instrument among high-toned peo-
pie. Some of our very oest young ladies
are learning 20 play. It's no longer the

"A pretty good instrument. A S25

trimmings. generally use maple, how

1.-TWO maple hoops glued firmly to-
gether and spun with German or coin

brass, but / never use them. In making
the hoops the wood is thoroughly steam

"What do you use for the hcad?"
"Calfskin of the very finest quality.
The calfskin is bound over a circular
brass wire, and held down over the rim

inch wide. The head can then be tight
