a Canary Birds Wisdom.

A young canary bird belonging to
our family is in the habit of receiving
small pieces of biscuits, cake or such
like from the tea table. The hardness
of the biscuit has always been source
OF great annoyance to Dickey. One
day, however, after an expectant and
close examination of the tea table, he
was offered a piece Of hard biscuit.
Without making the least attempt to
break it he lifted it from the floor Of
his cage and taking it to his water
trough gently dropped it in, following
up the action by patiently stirring it
round and round with his beak until it
was In condition to be eaten. He
then carefully removed it and devoured
it without any trouble. He now puts
every hard substance which he deems
eatible into the water. He endeav-
ored to soften sweets in the same way
but finding that the sweets became
gradually smaller and smaller he hasti-
" distracted it and has never since put
anything of that nature into the water.

Minority Presidents.

An ingenious compilation has recent
~ been made, from which it appears
that Presidential elections are not I'M
frequently decided by two votes out of
each 100. For the last sixty years it
appears that not less than seven Presi-
dents have been elected by a minority
Of the voters, represen ted however. by
a majority of the electors. These
Presidents were. Adams in 1904, Polk
in 1874, Taylor in 1S45, Buchanan in
1856, Lincoln in 1860, Hays in 1876,
and Garfield in 1880. In 1924 Adams
had only 2O.92 per cent. of the votes,
and as no candidate was chosen the
President was elected by the House.
In 1874 Polk had 1886 per cent of the
votes, Clay 48. IA and Birney 2.2l. A
difference of 2 per cent. determined the
issue. In 1S48 Taylor had 47.36 per
cent, Cass 1915, and Van Buren, 1914
per cent. Eight years later Buchanan
became President, having received 45. 81
per cent Of the votes, while Fremont
had $500, and Fillmore 2157. Lincoln
in 1860 had 1891 per cent. Of the votes,
Douglas 29.4. Breckenridge 1908.
Bell 1851. Hayes had only 1885 per
cent. and Tilden 50.94 Garfield had
1926, Hancock 1926, and Weaver 8. SO.
The highest percentage Of votes ever
received by any successful Presidential
candidate was in 1923 when Jackson
had 55.97 per cent. Which ever of the
present existing leading Presidential
candidates shall succeed in securing 2
per cent. in a hundred more than his
opponent will therefore be elected.
The significance of each individual vote
can well be appreciated by survey OF
these figures.

DR.. jacob, who has made this spe-

fore he is eight years old. Not till this
age is It's brain substance sufficiently de-
yeloped. An infants brain is soft. tt
contains large percentage of water.
It is deficient III fat and phosphorus, on
which, to great extent, intellectual ac-
tiy1ty depends. The convolutions are
fewer. The different parts of the brain
do not grow in size and weight alike
the normal proportion of the front,
back and lateral portions not being
reached before the age of ten. So, too,
the normal proportion, Of the chest to
the lower portions of the body is not at
tanned until the eighth year, while that
part of the back (the lumbar) on which
the sitting posture mainly depends is
even then only moderately developed.
About the fifth or sixth years the base
of the brain grows rapidly, the frontal
bones extend forward and upward and
the anterior portion grows considerably.
Still the white substance the gray is
the basis of intelligence and the large
ganglia preponderate. It is not until
about the eight year that the due pro-
portion of parts is reached, and a GER

eighteen people beside our own folks,
SO we writ to our sons and darters in

word for us to their friends. Well, we

our darter Mary came down from

she had spoken to all her friends

the same thing, an though they wasn't

years, come to spend the summer with

said we still had room for one boarder,

the barn we coud take in two, an that

as such. Two years later he also died
of smallpox, and his death was recorded.
There were really two soldiers, but one
of whom was mustered in and but one
of whom who died according to the
record"
aWho got the pension ?" asked the
reporter.
II don't recall the character of the re-
port made by the department to the
pension authorities, but my impression
is that neither got it. You see, the
husband, who died, did not die until
1864, when it was shown he wasn't the
man, and the son, who did die in 1864,
never was mustered in, and there you
are. One was mustered in and didn't
die, and the other died, but was never
mustered in.

Keepers Journal.
Rural New Yorker.

Rural New Yorker
There is not anything in the house
but salt pork" I heard the cook say to
Aunt Dorcas. aOh, that is all right"
and she gave jolly little laugh, and
said, "I;ve lived too long away from
markets and fresh meat not to know
how to make a meal, or dozen, out of
salt pork. Once on time [ cut it in
thick chunks, and fried it in its own
grease over a hot fire after parboiling;
but now [ cut it as thin as possible,
take off the rind, and steep It first in
clean, soft water, about milk warm. It
requires rather slow cooking, and, when
done, can be set in the oven to keep
warm" And all this time Aunt Dorcas
was working while she talked, and then
prepared a gravy of milk and -four and
some of the grease from the meat, in a
clean frying pan. She toasted some
stale bread, and dipped it in the gravy,
using it as a garnish for the meat, fry
ing a few eggs to lay between.
I'm this way little pork goes
long way" said she. Child
rem prefer the toast, egg and gravy
to the meat" Then she cut up some
apples and fried them as we do Sarato-
ga potatoes, removing the cores, but
not peeling the apples. It made alto
gether palatable dinner, and, as she
predicted, the children liked the toast
and gravy with their baked potatoes
better than the meat.
One day she cooked what she called
"furmity" in the place of barley or rice.
It was made by sleeping wheat for "a
hours, then boiling it gently in soft wat
er for six hours. It is then set away
for future use, and when wanted is COW
cred with milk upon the stove and al
lowed to simmer. Half an hour before
it is wanted, stir in couple of well
beaten eggs, a little allspice and sugar
to taste. "It's nice dish," said aunt
land where we grow SO much wheat it
is handy to keep it boiled and ready
for use. One can't always be running
to the store for rice, and the children
alwans liked furmity the best"
did you ever steam eggs?" she.
asked one morning before breakfast,
and she took up a pie plate, buttered
it, and broke some eggs on it, then
seasoned them with salt and pepper and
little butter. Then she set the plate
IN steamer, and cooked till set They
were done to a turn, and would be
good dish for delicate appetite. Eggs
and chickens are plentiful out West,
dearie, she said, "and we try and cook
them with as much variety as possible"
