A Dissertation on Colds.

The season for colds is here, tearfully
announces the Darot Free Press-if
colds have any special season-and those
afflicted in this way endure their suffer
I ings and treat them lightly, saying:
I 'slt's only cold, " and taking but little
extra care OF themselves. Colds are not
necessary evils, and that they are evils
even those who take them most cheer
fully viii admit. They are more serious
evils than most people realize. The con-
nection between colds and more serious
attacks Of disease is not close enough to
be recognized by the careless; but
system weakened by successive colds is
not as safe from many diseases as another
that has never been subject to colds.
An enfeebled body, on the other hand,
IS more liable to colds, and greater pre-
caution IS needful to escape from them.

:. Bullet Playing" Among CrOrtors.

The Scotch miner has many ways Of
amusing himself Quoits rs favorlte
game of his, SO is a game called
9'rounders"-a sort of cricket-and
cricket itself is popular among the
Younger men, but with them football IS
the favorite pastime. Leaping, running,
throwing the hammer, and tossing the
caber are all practiced, and insome parts
a game called "bullet playin g" IS IN high
favor. l have never seen this played ex-
cept in the Lothians and fStirllngshlre,
and there il was at one time the crack
amusement. Rather a peculiar amuse-
ment it is, too. 1t is playet IN this man
ner: A certain distance, say mile out
and mile in, is fixed upon as the ground
to be covered by the players, and the man
who does so in the fewest number OF
throws is declared the winner. The bull
let is a polished ball Of hard whinstone,
and weighs from ten to fourteen ounces,
and this ball the player takesinto his hand
and. running to Il line draw n on the road
way. he swings his arm and throws with all
his might. This is termed ''hainching
the bullet" and good player can cover
| the mile in five or SIX throws. The game
is one mainly of strength, but good
deal of skill can be shown in it. Zach
player has man in front 10 show where
the bullets should be landed, and his
business is to see that, if his directions
are followed, the bullet OF his player will
have the best part of the road to run on.
The game is always played on the best
highway in the neighborhood, and the
authorities object to it as being danger-
Gus, although 1 never have heard of any
accident arising therefrom. A iullet
match is to the Scotch miner what dog
fight is to his Northumbrian or Stafford
shire congener or prize fight to an East
End Londoner. The fact that it IS for
hidden by law adds TO its attractiveness,
and it affords ample opportunities for
betting. Bets are made on the throw,
on the distance out, and on the complete
match, and when two 'donsn are play
ing the excitement runs high.-A'ae-

That Tuneful Bird, the Canary.

The canary IS after the nightingale the
bird that sings the best and has the
strongest voice. Canaries are raised
principally in Germany and Belgium.
They come to New York IN large crates
holding perhaps from fifty to hundred
little wicker cages. These cages are
made by the peasants who raise the birds
in the Hartz Mountains in Germany, at
Andreasbeig, and other villages. In
purchasing a bird the best time is the
month of November, when they come
fresh from Europe, and if possible, from
4 large bird dealer, where there are plenty
of birds from which to choose. Some
people prefer long birds, others like the
short breed. It is all matter of taste.
The PRINCIPAL OBJ ect in bird should
be its healthy condition and its song.
Srend an hour or two, or three ii neces-
sary, in the bird store and pick out your
bird, and be sure it has full song. Do
not trust the bird dealer if he tells you
the bird you choose Is slime singer.
See and hear the bird yourself, and be
satisfied that he suits you before you
leave the store. Next you want good,
roomy cage, not too small. The perches
slOulQ DC At least udll du lHCli IL uLaLlsO-
ter, and slit with a saw at the ends, so
they will project half an inch at each
end outside the wire; this will make
them steady. Birds do not like shaky
perches; they prefer something solid, In
cleaning the perches they should not be
scraped; that is lazy method. Better
steep them in warm water minute;
then they can be cleaned with piece of
rag. The cage should be cleaned at
least once a week. The bottom of the
cage should be sprinkled with gravel.
not the gravel you pick up on the street,
but the kind that is packed in paper
boxes and which can be purchased at
the chemists or at the grocers. 4 piece
of cuttle-lish bone should be run through
the wires OF the cage for the bird to pick
at. Do not place the cage in a draft.
