the cage with fine gravel. This can be pur- chased at any grocery or drug store. In hanging the cage be careful not to place it in draught or too near 8 fire. A warm, sunny window is the best place. Care must be tak- sn in feeding the bird. No sugar or anything sweet should be given to it. A piece of cut tie fish bone should be run through the wires of the cage for the bird to peck at. A piece of apple or leaf of salad may be given oceas- ionally but never parsley as 1t is poisonous to birds. The cleaner the cage is kept, and the more attention given to the feeding of the bird and to the filling of cups with fresh spring water the more healthy the bird will be and the longer it will live. Canary birds will live ten years if taken care of They should have a bath cup and have bathing water every morning. When they have bathed remove the bath cup, as it takes up too much room in the cage. A bird that sings well should not be put with one that sings poorly, as it will spoil the song of the good bird.

A Bible colporteur, who has been travel ing through Alabama, has addressed letter
 to the members of the legislature of that
 State, calling attention to the startling illit- eracy he has found among the white people. He found hundreds of men, women, boys
 and girls who could not read word of the
 Bible or any other book. What ought 10 touch tLe sensibilities of the southerners is his declaration that "there are hundreds of Confederate orphans raised since the war with but little or no education, their mothers not being able to send them to the three montha' school. This class is scattered all over the State where the whites cultivate the
 soil The fathers of these sons fell by your
 side in the battle or in the hospitals. Many of them have grown to manhood without any l education"

These are the days of great schemes. A proposal has been made to turn to account a piece of depressed land in Middle Egypt, by converting 1t into huge reservoir about the size of the lake of Geneva, for the purpose of storing the waters of the Nile when the river Is in flood. The water would be available for irrigating the lower country when the Nile was low, between February and June. It would cost s500, 900 but it would add in ten years one hundred millions sterling to the wealth of Egypt.

The Democratic officials at Washington are claiming that the Democrats have carried all the congressional districts in Louisiana, in- eluding the second, which was at first am nounced as Republican. The New Orleana Picayune immediately after election an nounced the election of Mir. Coleman, the Republican nominee in the second district and made 1t the text of few remarks edi- torily. It reproaehed the Democrats of the district for allowing the election to go by de- fault, and reprimanded with especial severity those who did not vote. The election then was not questioned, and on Monday last the Picayune again reverted te the question, owing to the charge, from Republican sources, that Coleman was to be refused his eertif- cate, and said: Republicans everywhere may rest assured that no southern governor will refuse to certify to the election of Rspub- licsn representative when he has honestly been elected to Congress In this State, and although we opposed him we do net deny that he won the contest fairly. There is not the shadow of g doubt that Governor Nichols will commission Mir. Coleman on proper showing of the election returns. Our Repub- lican critics can rest perfectly content that nothing but fair play Is intended.

Another Account of the Terrible Gale
at the Breakwater-A Break Vessel
BY Marine Reporter Of EVENING JOURNAL
LEwEs, Del. Nov 27.-A gale has been
blowing here for nearly one week. On
Sunday the wind blew at the rate Of
about so miles an hour. 1t abated some
what last night 1t is now blowing
about north northeast at fifty miles an
hour. The tides are very high
and the marshes are one vast
stretch of water There is high choppy
sea on, and the vessels are laboring heav-
lily. The sea is now higher than it was
Sunday. There have been five wrecks all
told. The first vessel to 90 ashore was
the American bark Moro Castle, Captain
Gould, from Philadelphia, laden with
coal for San Francisco She was
anchored outside theBreakwater about 900
yards. Sunday she parted her chains and
was blown upon the sharp rocks forming
the Breakwater The crew at once left
the ship, but the captain would not leave
his vessel He did not leave until the
lighthouse keepers advised him to do so.
He had not been on the Breakwater two
minutes before the bark broke up. Two
of the crew were slightly hurt.
At 800 p. m. Sunday the Nova Scotian
bark, Hannah, Captain Anderson. laden
with /, 800 barrels refined oil, went ashore
where the p r. r. had the old railroad
pier taken up. It is thought that she
ran one of the old piling through her
bottom, which had been left She is
broken in two. The crew were rescued
by the Lewes Life Saving crew under Cap
tainClampitt. The life saving crew did the
most active and heroic work ever known
on this coast This crew together with
Pilot George H. Connor of Philadelphia
were in the rigging eight hours. They
were brought ashore in the life car.
Schooner w. d. Marvil, Captain
O'keefe, went ashore on Sunday evening
about p. IN Captain O'Keefe said to
the reporter OF the EVENING JOURNAL:
AT about p. m. Sunday one Of my
chains parted l saw | was dragging down
fast with another schooner so | slipped
my other anchor and hoisted
my jibs and put her in as snug
place as / could find, and that was be-
tween the two piers belonging to the fish
factories. The crew are al safe and the
vessel in good condition. " Schooner Helen
is ashore nearly opposite the Marine Hos
pital. She is in good condition.
The schooner Ella is ashore at Reho-
both Beach and has broken up. The
cargo of lumber is thrown all along the
shore.

ring the gale Of Sunday night, after
dragging down the harbor struck on

house.

There are no cars running on the cleo

yesterday morning, about O'Clock,
by car No. %. The track and wire
we're covered with sleet, and it was
with great difficulty that the car
made Roadway At the end Of the
trip, E. w Heald general superintendent
OF the Wilmington City Railroad Com
panys lines ordered a cessation for a
time. Mr.. Head was seen by a reporter
Of EVENING JOURNAL this morning.
Mr.. Head said: The road IS only stopped
temporarily, as it will be running in few
days. The electric cars may be taken of,
but there will still be accommodations for
travel A meeting Of the directors will
be held tonight to decide whether to
run the electric cars during the winter
II it is decided to lay of the electric cars.
horse cars will be used until spring. The
sleet on the wire caused little
trouble Yesterday morning, and it was
found necessary 10 stop the cars
A great deal Of indignation was ex-
pressed at the stopping of the cars, as il
was rumored that there would be no ac-
commodation for travel all winter The
above statement by Mr. Heard explains
and dispOses Of that matter Regarding
the effect of winter on the electric line,
Electrician Lighthipe of tho
Wilmington City Electric Company, was
seen by the reporter this morning. The
question was asked What's the matter
with the electric line2' That understand
has not yet been given out, replied Mr.
Lighthipe III heard that the cars had
been stopped for the winter,
said the reporter, would snow
stop the running Of the carsl'
mo. Snow has nothing to do
with the matter. "Will this kind Of
weather delay the runningY' ut will
not; weather like this is the best that
could be had, the damp ground making
better conductor than dry ground
Neither snow nor the cold, damp weather

senting CHM & Company publishers the

l.. Hayes, the business representative Of
CHM Company Of Boston, the pub
fishers of the charts and books OF the
system, made a few remarks. C. Il. Bell
81 New York musical director for CHM
Company, then described the system
at length speaking for about three
quarters Of an hour.
IL was invented and perfected by
Luther Whiting Mason and is founded
on the most practical and latest improved
method Of teaching The pupil is first
taught simple songs and melodies which
progressively embrace all the notes of
the scale. After the innate love of
music and the dormant intelligence Of
the child on the subject is brought out
by this, a simple method of teaching the
tones, their proper time value, etc, is
taught At last the musical scale is
brought into use and from what has been
learned, it is easy to teach how to read
music from it,
The system appears practically and
simple. II has been adopted in the public
schools of several large cities and il On
dorsed by teachers and Conservatives Of
music. 1t is, in a certain sense, an adapt
alton Of object teaching to teaching
music If the system were properly
taught it would.probably be All advantage
GUS addition to the curriculum Of the
public schools of this city.
Owing TO the lack of a quorum. no
action could be taken in the matter last
