TRAINING A PET CANARY. Z
An Easy Method OF Teaching Them Tricks
Patience and Perseverance,.

Patience and perseverance,
A pet canary in a house Is n sunbeam.
Always busy. never having an idle mo-
ment. and always doing something new,
it e~nlivens the dull and encourages the
slothful to industry. Young girls or
wives with a long and lonely afternoon
of mending before them can set the cage
on the table beside the work-basket, chat
to the bird, sing with it and teach it new
notes as the needle is piled. Patience
and continual instruction only can teach
a bird tricks. Because 1t sometimes
gives no outward sign OF imitation is
not to be accepted as a belief that it is
not learning. 1t is practicing the trick
in private, and not until after a perfect
rehearsal will it give a public exhibition.
To teach a bird to kiss, hold him
lightly, chatting in soothing tones till he
is quiet; then kiss the bill repeatedly,
still soothing him with gentle talk. Kiss
the bill again and again till he ceases to
struggle in fear of the salute; then be-
stow a final one-a kiss OF APPRECIATION
and release him to partake of his enjoy
ment. Repeat that the next day-sev-
eral times n day if you wish TO teach him
quickly-and he soon resorts to this per-
Torrance as a method OF coaxing, open
ing and closing his bill between your lips
exactly as you have done by him, so
nearly as bird imitation is possible. If
he picks your lip do not notice 1t before
him.. The cage of a nervous bird should
never be touched without first calling
the tenants attention, because, beng al
ways engaged IN some project, an alb
rupt action startles him Just as 1t would
a human being who Is come upon sud
denly.
To teach him TO sit upon your finger,
draw a chair up near the cage, hold c
conference with him, and then intro
ducing a finger between the wires near
his favorite perch hold it there, patiently
reading your book or paper meanwhile.
The new object showing no disposition
to harm him, he goes up cautiously for
an examination. Then he picks to as
certain the material-may be he fights
it. This is a good sign. He no longer
fears it. Repay him with some choice
morsel and cheerful words for his
courage. Try him again in the afternoon.
He may go further and light on it.
Possibly the trick may take several days.
BE patient. Once the step is attained,
vary the programme by introducing the
finger in other spots. He will soon light
ON it at any point or angle. Next try
thrusting the fingers under the door.
Next time fasten it open, blocking egress
with the rest of the hand as one finger
extends within. When he perches on it

The boar hunting, which has only been
established at Arcachon in France for
Swo years, attracts a good many sports
men, both French and English. 1t is,
however. n hard and serious task for
men, horses and dogs. The chase seldom
lasts less than three hours, and often
more. The last boar killed weighed 800
pounds, and put seven hounds hors do
combat before he received the death
blow from the master. Ills head now

the height OF the pilgrimage, when the
people thronged in thousands TO the bath

son first used sulphur fires as n prophy-
Tactic measure against cholera. These
fires were made at fifty yards apart and
kept alight during the whole time that
the fair was at its height. Not a single

circumstance, since cholera had gener-

Paris IauEhtcr-ioting working Girl.
The g~risette seems the only creature
In the world over whom change and cir
cumstances have no control. She never
sighs, but laughs and sings. and II h
has not 1 penny in the world, with which
TO purchase her rolls and coffee, she only
laughs the merrier. The g~risette is the
most laughter-loving being that can be
found in this existence Of care and cal
culation, but she never calculates, she
leaves all that to dull people and diplo-
matists. Tell her she may fall i'll, she
laughs. and asks IF there is not the hos
pitalyT tell her she may be unable to
work, and may starve for want of means.
She laughs, and asks, who ever died of
want in Paris 2T-for she has not read
Les MYSTERIES and never believes in
evil. Tell her old age may come, when
lovers, health, and spirits will all forsake
her. She laughs again, and tells you
that thousands of grisettes have lived
before her, and she is content TO do as
they did"
II, until 4 O'Clock in the day, the gri-
settle has not tasted a morsel OF food, and
seeks the 8 cents necessary to purchase n
small outlet, when she knows she can
find no credit, and IL after all her search
only a 2-cent piece appears, she laughs,
shakes her head and trips gaily forth,
hoping to discover a friend who will lend
her a dinner, and should she find that
the florist at the corner is as badly off as
herself they laugh together at the alb
surdity of the thing, II in the coolest
night in winter she breaks he
pane of her little window and
has nc NEAR of replacing it, she
laughs, and as the wind whistles round
the ROOM sings to it a joyful refrain.
Still the g~risette is not exempt from the
pains and penalties OF life .-Brooklyn
