A BrOken-Hearted Bird.

A correspondent thus writes: s'Near-
ly twenty years ago | owened pair
of beautiful canaries-the male being
very fine fellow, with rich musical
note. Having furnished them with
the outside rough form of nest in
straw, leaving them to complete it's
comforts with bits of soft wool, down.
and small feathers, they were shortly
in the happy poss ession of four eggs.
In due course four young ones pre-
sented themselves, to the evident
delight of the parents, who fed them
from daylight to dark, their favorite
food being the yelk of hard boiled
eggs. lime brought round the period
when, instead Of raw, naked, helpless
creatures always "asking for more, 5"
four full-fedged young birds frisked
about the cage like so many pretty
yellow balls of fine soft wool. They
grew to be very fine birds; and first
one friend and then another coveted
them, until all had gone but one
little youngling, which remained as
the only solace of the parents. This
last Of the family was the delight of
their hearts; they fondled it and
played with it as we have seensan
affectionate mother do with her child,
and seemed to exert themselves to
amuse it in every way their fancy
prompted.
Probably happier little family
never existed. But, alas! the spoiler
came. Another friend coveted the
last of the flock, and it was taken
away And from that moment the
joyous song of the male bird gave
place to a painfully feeble little chirp
He sat on the perch with dropping,
heart-broken, spiritless aspect; his
wings hung down as if all power and
vitality had left him; and within TWEEN
ty-four hours from the time of his be-
reayement he fell dead from the
perch. The aifectionate creature had
evidently died of grief for the loss of
his zone eve lamb" The cage was
given away with the remaining bird;
and no inducement could tempt me
again to run the risk of perhaps ua
consciously being the cause of so
much unhappiness and misery

Snails az Food.

The taste tor snails as food is grow
ing in France. The ancient Romans
cultivated these gasteropods on a very
extensive scale. Their parks were
large and surrounded by water, so
that the snails could not escape, and
an abundant supply of moisture could
always be at hand. At fattening- time
the animals were put in eaxthen pots
pierced with holes, and rubbed on the
inside with flour mixed WITH wine.
Some of them grew to be very large.
The Romans liked snails because they
provoked thirst and gave an excuse
tor drinking wine. - Toronto Globe.
