A Canary Birds Bacchaual Song.

A tiny ycllow-fcathcrcd canary bird
stopped eating hemp-sccd, and began
scratching its bill with one claw, the
bird began to sing Ill ilutc-likc tones,
I'VE Won't Go Home till Morning. -
Every note as true and prompt 6 a
French music box. Despite the ami.
mated appearance of the songstcr, it
was so unnatural to hear the roystcr-
ing song of the bacchanals clantcd
by canary that the bystandcrs looked
suspiciously around to find the music
box which was playing the tune. The
bird belongs to l.. ID. Stcbbins, the
matchmaker on Wisconsin street, and
he explained the modus opcrandi by
which the little songstcr acquired its
surprising faculty.
He said that the bird had been bred
by himself, being a common canary.
The parent birds were chosen with
reference to volume of voice and
quality. Gas soon as the bird was
BORN" he said, "the education was
begun. A mouth organ was the ed.
ucator employed. Beginning thus
early it was eight months before the
education was completed. The bird
can sing, We Won't Go Home till
Morning. faultlessly, but there its nc.
quiremcnts end. 1t has never heard
any other song. That tune was played
at the bird three times day ON an or
gan. LII is common canary, and is
valuable on account Of its superior
education, insomuch that | was offer
cd $40 for it a few days ago. Ignorant
common canarics sell for 81, which
proves conclusively that there is moth
ing lost by educating them. "-MiWuu-

forts of every man should be fully APP
prcciated by those who have II soul

do So"
True, every word of it, said the
editor, who was now assured that -
two dollar subscription was almost
within his grasp, and another honorcd
name would find itself on the .'an-
nointcd list of his subscribers. But
you know us publishers experience
great difficulty in collecting our sub.
scrlption money, we are put off with
various excuses, and wear out our
souls in our frantic efforts to collect
what is due us"
"What is the subscription price to
your papcr?" asked the gentleman as
he put his hand IN his pocket.
"Only two dollars,' replied the cdi-
tor. Only two dollars a year, post
age paid"
''Lct me scc," said the gentleman,

enough. You may send it to INC for

The editor smiled Il beautiful smile,
which was instantaneously trans
mogriiied INTO Il scowl that was Il cross
between the laugh of Il frightened
dude, and the snarl of u subducd

by saying:
"Hcrc's five cents for the next issue,

amount. like to encourage home

Mrs. Browns OpiniOns.

What is my opinion of true polite.

very marked, and the one is easily
F.! shown To the superior of the other.
That is, one is heart, the other is art,
and in character. we are not long in
deciding which of those qualities Is pre-
fcrrcd. True polilencss NAV be found
among people who have never had
days training III the school of cti.
quettc, but good manners must be
taught. a man who is truly polite,
takes his politcncss home with him,
and it shows in the pleasant faces OF
the wife and children, and i'm their
own politeness. Good manners may
thrive we'll all day, while the man
meets his customers or patron in Of
flee or store, but when lie leaves his
business, he hangs them ON the peg
where his hat has been hanging all
day, and goes home grul and ugly, to
meet his wife and children. whose
good manners he has shaped very
much as his own. Good hammered
people are prevalent III our best soce-
ty. but | regret to say that true polite.
ness is oftcntimcs very seldom. The
nice young man, who can bow and
smile in ten languages. and wca his
store clothes in sixteen places ut once,
Is pcttc,l by the ladies and battered bv
constant references tG his perfect
manncrs,' and yet, when he is his nat
ulal self, among his home folks or
other subordinates, he is nine times in
ten rs coarse and ill-manncrcd as u
rough from the slums. With woman.
the same rule holds, and she who is all
grace and sweetness in company, is

that have no fear in drawing clearly
the line of dcmarcation between true
politencss and good manners. Hun
drcds of stories have been told illustrate
ing this question, and in the majority
of instances true poltcncss is found
among those in whom good manners
less abound. A rough. harl-landed
lahorcr, who couldn't wear good
clothes if he had them, who would
kick over half the brio a brac in Il par
Tor trying to bow, who doesn't know
the llrst principle OF society manners
may be, for all that, a gentleman un-
cultured. truly, but SD adorned with
true poltcness that lie wins the respect
and honest admiration, the merely

of being poitcncss cannot be acquired;
it may he cultivated and new beauties
given it. bu, the underlying beauty
never changes. because it is of the
soul; and the soul is infinite. Good
manners. on the contrary, are nothing
but civilizations; they are merely of the
brain and body; and brain and body
are finite. True pnlitcness, as dis
tingushc'l from good manners. finds
its perfect eNcmplar in Christ, Of

Lord Dudley's Heavy Rnts

Those sporting papers which have
alluded to the sensational. wages with
which the late Earl of Dudley used
from time to time to astonish the rae
ing world have somehow omitted to
record the last bet which he ever
made, and which consisted in laying
10000 to $4,000 on Petrarch, at AS
cot, for the twcnty-tEird Tricnnial,
when Morning Star won. Into the
circumstances of that memorable race
we have no wish to inquire. Lord
Dudley, it is well known. refused to
settle the bet for some weeks after
ward, and did not engage in any sub
scquent turf transactions. He had
not, indeed, paid IL visit to any race
course of recent years, and had long
since ceased to take any interest in the
''sport OF kings" His wagcrs, as Il
rule, were very successful ones-were
chiefly negotiated on the classic races.
he had $4,000 to $4,000 about Refine
for the Oaks of 1872, and in q later
year ncttcd an equally large amount
by the successes OF Marie Stewart,
Apology and Splnaway. With many
racing men the story of his having
offered to bet 100000 to flO, 900 on
MacgrcSor for the Derby of 1870 is
very familiar. The late Mr.. j. Is.
Morris was the bookmakcr who on
that occasion declined the sensational
wager, only to see Macgregor beaten
Il quarter Of an hour afterward. His
feelings may be imagincd.-W Whitehall

A Childlike and Bland Senator.

Some years ago some Wisconsin
lands were advertised for sale under
the general law, and Senator Sawyer,
then, as now, large Wisconsin land
holder, took care to post himself thor
oughly upon the value of each parcel
put up at auction. When the sale day
arrived a party of eastern capitalists
on the lookout for q speculation were
on hand to bid. They knew Sawyer,
and in every instance they raised his
bid. They felt very much clatcd when
they saw, or thought they saw, q look
of annoyance steal over his placid
countenancc as section after section
was knocked down to them. They
bought nearly every parcel upon which
Sawyer set Il price, and went away de-
lighted at their shrewdness. Some
years after they visited Wisconsin. and
called upon Sawyer. He was delight.
ed to see them, invited them to his
house in Oshkosh, ami treated them
very Hospitality. They were going to
look at the lands they had purchased
at the sale. Sawyer chucklcd as he
shook each by the hand, and invited
them to call when they came back.
They have not called to date. The
senator expected TO meet sharpcrs at
that sale, and SO got friend to bid on
all the best lands for him, and secured
the good timber lands offered. The
eastern men still hold the titles to half

Religion in Russia.

''In Russia all crccds are free
So Alexander ii. wrote to the HOLY
Fathers in 1878. 1t was Il barcfacetl
falsehood then; let us see whether it
is true now. In Wolbinia there arc
10000 colonists from Bohemia, Roman
Catholics to Il man. They wanted
priests, SO the government got three
from Bohemia. But what priests?
Suffice it to say that they were all
married. The colonists did not like
that sort of thing, SO the government
called together Il diocesan confer
encc' of the districts of Dubno, Os-
trong and Romon. The men who met
mt the conference to draw up consti.
tuition of the church were worthy of
such priests" as they had. One man
proposed that they should form a
Catholic church without Il Pope. An
other advised the adoption of the Luz
thcran creed, but this was objected to
because Luther was German, and
the Germans were the born enemies of
the Bohcmians. A third held that
the tcncts of Huss should be Il loptcd.
At last they agreed to call themselves
Bohemian Brothers. and TO reproduce
a Greek liturgy in the native Bohcmi-
an tongue. The resolutions of the Con-
vention were approved of by the Rus
sian Government. Most of the colo.
nists turned with shuddcr from the
new creed, and declared that they will
live and die Roman Catholics, as their
fathers had done before them, and they
sent for Pc ish priests to minister to
them. Thcreupon the Russian Gov

onists were to be allowed to acquire

is still in force. That's what they call

A Polite Cat.

A member of the British Geological
Society tells this story, SO it must be
true: II once had cat VINO always sat
up to the dinncrtable with me, and
had his napkin around his neck. and
his plate and some fish. He used his
paw of course: but he was very par
ticurlar and behaved with extraor.
binary decorum. When he had finished
his fish l sometimes gave him piece
of mine. One day he was not to be
found when the dinncr-bcll rang, SO
we began without him. just as the
plates were put around for the entree.
puss came rushing up stairs and sprang
into his chair with two mice in his
mouth. Before he could be stopped. he
dropped mouse on to his own plate
and then one on to mine. He divided
his dinner with me, as l divided mine

Crop Prospects,

Tho growing wheat crop having
reached q critical stage and winter
wheat having approached Il condition
sufficiently near maturity to approxi-
mate the acreage and probable Weld,
the Farmers RcUieW has followercd up
its usual weekly summary by COM
plcte survey Of all tho Western and
Southern wheat growing states, re-
ports having been received from over
5000 correspondents, covering every
wheat producing county in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ten
nesscc, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Da-
kota, together with very accurate
and recent summary from the Pacific
coast region made by the associated
press, 1t is believed, makes the most
complete report ever issued. The re-
view has been carefully prepared, and
the information is believed TO be most
exhaustive and the latest that has vet
been obtained and fOrcshadOws the
state and government reports. In
summing up its detailed reports, the
Reciey says:
The gloOmicst views which have
been advanced concern ny the winter
wheat outlook for 1885 must now be
accepted us the most accurate. The
promising conditions of 1884 have this
season been completely reversed. The
absolute uniformity of the returns in
dlcatc that the wintcr-sown wheat this
year is the worst in ten years, and it
may be now set down as positive that
under tho most favorable conditions
the total winter and spring wheat
yield is to fall considerably under the
short crop Of 1881, when the total pro-
duct was $3.50, 100000 bushels.
With the exception of Michigan and
Oregon and Washington territory ON
the Western slope, the causes leading
to IL decreased output of winter wheat
are almost identical. In Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois, Kansas and Missouri the
ground was bare of snow during the
severely cold weather ut the close of
the winter, which was followed by
cold, dry winds later on. There was
also Il decreased acreage owing to the
low prices which prevailed for the crop
Of 1884. In California the decreased
acreage was accompanied by - severe
ruin the growing crop. Ore. ron and
Washington territory were saved by
bountiful showers which came i'm time
to save the grain. When the states
are considered in detail the situation
can he better appreciated.
Turning to the spring wheat belt the
outlook is altogether more promising.
Full returns from Nebraska show il
slightly enlarged acreage us compared
to last year, while in Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota the decrease in acreage
will be about 10 per cent, while con-
dition is about % per cent. The
acreage Of Dakota is about 8 per cent
less than last year and the conditions
fully equal. though the season is from,
ten to twelve days later. The prob
able spring wheat yield based upon
continuing favorable weather will be
1870, coo, 900 bushels. The total wheat
crop of the country, therefore, from
the present outlook, will be from 32O,-
900. 900 to $50, 100000 bushels, against
and an average yield for the last
five years of AGA 900. 900 bushels.
