Changing Canaries' Color.

The following is from the proceedings
of the Berlin Physiological Society:
Starting with the observed fact that cana
ries, fed with cayenne pepper, acquire a
ruddy plumage, DR.. Sauermann has based
upon 1t scientific investigation of cana
ries, fowls, pigeons, and other birds.
suits: Feeding with pepper only produces
an effect when given 10 young birds be-
fore they moult; the color of the feathers
of older birds cannot be affected. Moist
ure facilitates the change of color to rud-
dy hue. which is again discharged under
the influence of sunlight and cold.
A portion of the constituents OF cay
enne pepper is quite inactive, as. for
instance, piperin and several extractives;
similarly the red coloring matter alone Of
the pepper has no effect on the color of
the feathers. 1t is rather the triolein,
which occurs in the pepper in large guam
titles, together with the characteristic
pigment, which brings about the change
of color, by holding the red pigment of
the pepper in solution. Glycerine may
be used instead of triolein to bring about
the same result.
The same statement holds good with
regard to the feeding of birds with aniline
colors. The red pigment of the pepper
is also stored in the egg yelk as we'll as
in the feathers. The first appearance of
the pigment in the yelk may be observed
as a colored ring four days after the COM
mencement of feeding with the pigment
dissolved in fat. After further two
days feeding the whole yelk is colored.

those who are expert needlewomt N, for
they can, with plenty OF time and COM
paratively little money make themselves
obje Is of envy to less fortunate neigh
bors. Even millinery feels the influence,
for many bonnets owe their chief attrac-
tiveness to bands of gold fiji gree. embroid-
ery, GOLD lace, or gold cord, to which
they give very dressy effect.
In hats the broad brim is still the favor
lite. Smooth and Angora felts are equally
fas hionable, with brims turned up in a
point, or rolling in front and tapering
OIL to the back. The brims are not lined,
though sometimes hound with rubber.
An unusually pretty aud becoming hat
has a curving and slightly rolling brim of
shaggy felt, while the crown is of velvet
gathered in Tam O'Shanter fashion upon
narrow velvet band, with bird placed
at the front. In fact, birds OF
all sizes and colors, and even but
terflies, are perched here and
there upon hats and bonnets, in as
airy posture ss can be; and the more
ready they seem TO take to their wings,
the better for decorative purposes The
velvet Tam O'Shanter crown can also be
used very prettily for children's wear,
with very broad. straight, stiff brims.
Cloth, too. is fayorite material with mil
liners just now. One very pretty example
of its use is capote covered with CT, am.
white cloth so as to show just folded
edge of black velvet. There is a knot of
yellow velvet ribbon in front, in which is
fastened a jet dagger, and strings of the
same are carried from thence to the back.
Lavender gray cloth bonnets are some
times embroidered in silver or in steel
color, and trimmed with groups of black
or gray birds. Bonne.s trimmed with

appearance, and there seems a strong
likelihood of their becoming popular.
Roses and chrysanthemums are the varie-
ties most commonly used. Shapes are
much the same as they were at the be-
ginning of the season. Fashion continues
to patronize the turban or oval shaped
bonnet, though several efforts have re-

James Etter, an old soldier who for over
twenty years has been one of the day
watchmen in the Winder Building, which
is occupied by the Bureau of the Second
Auditor of the Treasury. relates with
pride an interesting experience he had in
1863. AS he was alone in the building
one sultry July Sunday morning, tall,
clerical looking man entered fIom Seven
teenth street and politely asked him
whether Surgeon Barnes was In his Office.
He replied that Barnes had not been there
since the preceding day. The stranger
thanked him and retired, but returned
half an hour later with the same inquiry.
Again receiving reply in the negative,
he said
Il am Mr.. Lincoln, the President. You
allow me to take your place as wachman,
while You go to Surgeon Barnes house
and tell him l want to see him. Let me
have your badge, and l will sit right here
in your chair and carefully attend to your
duties till you come back"
The veteran, in relating the story, says
that for moment he was speechless from
astonishment, but, quickly recovering
himself, he pinned his badge on the coat
of the President of the United States
and hurried OF after DR.. Barnes, whom he
brought back with him.
well, salu the PRESIDENT, as ne re-
turned the badge to its rightful posses
sor, Il have proven true to my trust as
your substitute, and nothing has gone
wrong while you were away"
The old Waterman feels proud to think
that he is the only policeman who was
ever relieved by the President Surgeon
Barnes lived on Lafayette square, and it
took Etter half an hour to go there and
back; so for that space of time Abraham
Lincoln acted as a Waterman at the Treas
ury Department.

These are days of civil-service re-
form. The man that wants to secure
a place under the Government nova
days must have a strong pull, T" indeed,
to get there" The other day a Mis-
sissippi Republican anxious to serve
under the new Doorkeeper of the

of the skirt in a constantly widen
ing pattern to the very hem of the
dress. The gloves are gray, as likewise
the bonnet, which Is faced with black
velvet, and has short black-velvet strings.
The companion costume is a house dress
of blue-gray crepe, trimmed with very
light open passementerie in silver, old
gold, and blue-gr V. The skirt has a
very full front drspery reaching 10 the
hem, and separated from the straight
back breadth by means of the passe-
menterie. The corsage has full front
opening in N-shape over plated crepe
plastron, and around the arm holes and
at the bottom of the pointed front is
finished OFF with the bands of the passe-
menterie. The sleeves are very loose and
full, and terminate at the elbow. Ii
should be added that the favorite shades
this season are chestnut, light golden
browns, delicate grays, orange, leghorn
yellow, light blues, and, in general, such
shades as contrast we'll with black and
white.
In the matter of colors, clever actress
said TO me: We all feel more or less
vaguely the truth that the expression of
materials varies. Simplicity, modesty
and youthfulness are suggested by the or
CANDIES, tarlatans, mulls- the materials
which have a transparent effect and do
not shine. We dress the ingenue in white
muslin and Lady Macbeth in black vel
vet, on general principles; and as soon as
the girl becomes the good, poor mans
bride We put her in simple princess
gown of gray. Cotton fabrics, after be-
ing starched and ironod, suggest a kind
of moral purity. The nuns head-dress
seems to settle it, Then, after reflect

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17th.-It seems
impossible for a meeting of the Blood
horse Association TO be held without a
watery protest from the clouds above. The
slight showers that fell last night old not
hurt the track, but on the contrary bet
tered it, but the raw. cloudy, disagreeabe
weather had depressing effect upon both
the horses and the attendance. The mum.
Der of vehicles in the field could almost be
counted upon the fingers of ones hands,
and the array of the gentler sex in the
club house balconies was much thinned.

The starters were: Sallie c., Nerva, Ap-
plause, Rosebug, Ida Glenn, Oakdale, Hen

ing the fact that the judges on Tuesday
gave the third race to Sheridan and placed
Kildare second, the latter day was hot

$40 for Sheridan, $50 for Ida Glenn, and SIS

Ida Glenn finished first in 1871, with

Grand Protector Grant in his report con-
graduated the order upon its prosperity
Notwithstanding adverse circumstances
and added:
The law enacted in the Supreme Lodge
prior to our last session, required persons
TO join the order socially before becoming
beneficiary members. This was great
mistake, for many have joined as social
members and dropped out, who would
have joined to become beneficiary men,
bers had the law been otherwise. No doubt
under the present law we shall be able to
replace them with Others"
Upon the Grand Protectors recommended
ton, the Grand Lodge resolved to petition
the Supreme Lodge, the headquarters of
which are in indianapolis, Ind, to re-
scind the social membership law and place
social members on an equality with reg
ular members.
The recommendations of Grand Secre-
tary Carleton that no dispensation for the
installation ofnew lodges should be granted
unless there be more than twenty relief
fund applicants on the petition and that
liberal inducements be offered to organizers
were adopted.
The salary of the Grand Secretary was
doubled, and $500 was appropriated for the
travelling expenses of the Grand Protec-
tor.

TACOMA, April 17th.-In the press re.
ports yesterday was a telegram from
Doylestown, Penn, to the effect that Shel.
lenberger, the noted fugitive lawyer ol
that city, had been seen in Tacoma The
person who is alleged to have seen him is
young man named Howard Fries, who
has his eye on the $1,00s reward offered
for Shellenberger' arrest and who wired
the Doylestown authorities the informa-
ton.
Te!egrams have since been pouring in
upon Fries from Doylestown, and he is
acting as an amateur detective on the trail
of Shellenberger.
Fries preserves mysterious silence con-
corning the case. He was in consultation
with certain of the police authorities OF
Tacoma last night, and at the present time
is raising good deal of dust on Shellen-
berger's trail.
A special from Doyleston says Shellen-
berger is wanted there for forgery. He
has defrauded the citizens of Bucks county
out of from $125,000 to $1,000, robbing
widows and orphans out of every cent they
had in the world. Even the blind were
not spared. All classes are affected

Matte Scott his mistress. jealousy was
the cause. For several weeks they have
been quarreling almost continually. Some
time ago Matte was told that Scott was
paying attention to another woman (white),
and she became angry and accused him of
inidelity. He denied the accusation.
Later developments have seemed to confirm
her suspicious. Scott and the woman came
here from Duluth last summer, previous to
which Scott was employed at piano playing
at Jennie Bates in St. Paul. The woman
has not yet been arrested.
