Canaries Subject to Diphtneria.


Happening into bird store one day re-
Gently a representative of the sayings had a
chat with the proprietor on the subject OF
birds generally.
OF canaries he said: "There never was a
greater demand for these beautiful songsters
than there has been for the past three months.
The demand is greater every winter, but this
winter beats them all"
''Whats the cause of this!n he asked.
'Diphtheria," he replied
SIS there All epidemic among them!"
"No, not exactly. You see birds in house
will take almost any infectious disease which
nav happen TO afiiict the members Of the
household, and they die off very quickly once
they are taken sick. They will take scarlet
fever, measles, almost anything, like human
being. They cannot be cured, for by the
time their sickness is discovered they are too
far gone for aid Hundreds of canaries as
wei as other household birds have died be-
cause of the prevalence OF diphtheria during
the winter | dare say there will be many
pathetic stories told shortly of the simultane-
o1s death of children and their favorite birds,
and much talk Of broken bird hearts. When
il is understood that the child and the bird
have had the same disease, the pathos will
vanish People who have had valuable song
sters and know their nature always remove
them from sick room to a distant part of
the house, but as a general thing the owners
OF songsters understand very little about
them other than that they can sing. st.

Crusade Against the NIustache.

a lively crusade against the muStache as
an ornament for the clergyman is now in
progress in England. Many young ministers
in that country have revolted against the
old fashioned theory that man must
carry a smooth face into the pulpit The
culture of the mustache has become, in fact,
dangerously popular among the more pro-
EreSSive clergyman Of Great Britain, and
the conservative members Of the Established
Church are shocked and dismayed thereat
To those who are not acquainted with the
importance attached in England To the
exterior details pertaining to clergyman of
the recognized church, II might seem that
man with muSiache would make as good q
minister as one who shaved his upper fp
But the fact is that really impressive mus
tache worn by a young preacher has been
known to make good deal of trouble
among the fair maidens of his congregation,
and there are many wise men in England
who believe that > homely minister Is, in the
long run. more desirable and useful than one

3 Plea for the Peddler.

That peddlers are frequently bore every
one viii admit: but even that lamentabls
fact does not excuse the brutality with which
some persons treat them. Here and there on
the doors of business houses this very IN
pleasant sign is posted: mo beggars or ped
oilers allowed here The people who hoist this
banner have doubtless been sorely beset by
importunate sellers of trifes, and have waxed
wroth, and in despair put up the placard-
Nevertheless, they should not dump the
beggar and the peddler together in that
offensive manner Both may be considered
scourges at times; but the peddler is deserv-
ing of respectful treatment because he is try
ing to earn an honest living, while the beggar
is avowedly preying upon society. 1t is not
necessary to let the peddler jump up and
down on you like a coster; but don't kick
him down stairs unless he deserves it, and
don't hurt his self respect even before he
enters your door by placarding him as on tho
same plane as the beggar. Even a peddler
may have his feelings; and, as the ''soft an
swer turneth away wrath it can also turn
away peddler or a sewing machine agent

The Canadian Farmer.

A stranger visiting village even a century
old is struck by the absence of the commonest
means for improving a civilization-ma-
chinery on the farm, privacy and comforts in
the home libraries, lectures readings, ETC.
This want of education produces marked
result on border settlements and on the
national character. The Canadian is an ex-
cellent pioneer up to a certain point; no one
surpasses him in enduring hardships, labor,
want; he lives and increases where others
viii not remain. But when he has cleared a
few acres and won half of a living he feels
satisfied, and generally fails to carry his
civilization to the higher plane of comfort,
cleanliness and taste. The house of the aver
age successful farmer has two rooms, the
toughest appointments, and it is generally
crowded with two or three families.-C. II.

He Begged Pardon, Publicly.

One day, Beckmann, the comic actor, who
died il 1860, was induced TO take of a well
known newspaper editor, Frankel by name,
in one of the characters he was representing
in Berlin. He performed his task SO cleyerly,
that at the close the audience broke out into
loud calls for FrankeL The journalist
brought an action, and Beckmann was con-
demned to go 20 the house Of the insulted
party and there beg his pardon in the presence
of witnesses. At the hour appointed Frankel
sat in the circle Of his family. together with
number of relatives and friends whom ne
had convened for the occasion, waiting the
arrival Of the delinquent. He tarried long,
md half an hour had passed in weary sus-
l>ense when at last the door opened, and Beck
mann put his head in and asked: ''DOes Mr..
Meir live here?" ooh, 10. answered Frankel
she lives next door" "Ah, then [ beg your
pardon" said the actor and hastily with
drew, having thus acquitted himself OF the
imposed penance to the great annoyance Of
Frankel and the intense amusement Of the
assembled witnesses Argonaut

Americans are too often credited with
originating bOoms, but enterprises of that
class have always existed. Even take Ger
many, that home of conservatism, You will
find times when the people were crazed over
all sorts of bombaStic schemes. Strassbourg,
the famous European railway builder, swim
died his countrymen out of $50, 900 900 in lines
of railway that he projected to gridiron
Roumania and Austro-Hungary, connecting
with the German-Turkish and Russian
system. American daring was surpassed,
and construction gangs We're pitched into a
naked wilderness without population, savage
or civilized, and no prospect Of ever raising
enough food 20 sustain the smallest hamlet
StrasSbourg built for the sake of building, as
every mile represented a greater issue of
stock and bonds. How far he would have
gone can never be estimated His methods
were exposed in the reichstag, creditors
clam0ned for money, bonds couldn't be given
away, and the crash came The respective
governments then took the lines, which have
been operated at loss ever since.-Globe-
