A BIT OF BIRD BENEVOLENcE.
How Male Canary brought Up a Wild
Founding.

have just heard bird story that is
more than clever: it has a touch of
poetry and romance. 1t is told me by
lady who spent last summer in Cali
fornia and it came out when | was
admiring the song of a pretty yellow
canary that she calls Willie.
He was with his mistress while she
was domicied in a corntry house in a
California valley just at the edge of
the foothills. The large surrounding
grounds were fairly oyerrun with birds.
the whereabouts of between thirty and
forty nests within Il space of three OF
four acres being known at one TIME.
The house was so big that some of
the rooms were not in use at all-not
by TIE unfeathered household ut any
rate hut the linnets in number of
cases came through the Stats of the
shutters of these unfrequentcd apart
n3nts and made nests on the window
sills. This performance was more in
genious than wise on their part, for
the wind WAS liable to turn the Stats
AMI eat off supplies at any time.
1t was part of the self-imposed duties
of The young girl of the family to see
that accidents of this sort were set
right. but even the prettiest and most
becoming duties will occasionally be
neglected by young girls, and one time
nest was forgotten for nearly Il week.
When ii WAS visited tragic sight
met .hc eye of the remorseful visitor
for there was nest with five dead,
unfeathered little birds in it, and one
no. dead. but at its last gasp. Nalame
Ia more had been shut out. Every
effort was made TO nourish the sur
vivor, hairpins and knitting needles
being used to introduce the food, but
all in vain, and it looked as if the poor
baby bird would in Il few minutes join
its departed brothers and sisters.
At last it was noticed that Willie,
from his cage, was showing great in-
tcrest in the performances over the
staryeling, and the experiment of put
ting the little one with him was sug-
gested. 1t was lucky suggestion.
Willie fluttered around the stranger
moment or two, all his feathers stand
ing on end with excitement, and then
he flew to his dish of bread and milk
and began to feed his visitor in the
most approved mother bird fashion.
He had been family man, although
at this time Il uidower, and he knew
how young ones ought TO be cared for.
He gave up singing and devoted
himself wholly for weeks to his found
ling. He brought it up without assist
ance except-and this is not the least
singular part Of the story-such as
came from male linnet who. when
the cage was hung on the porch, used
to come and feed the young one
through the bars.
1t is the conclusion. rs true as fitting
to this bird idyll, that when the res
cued bird grew up-it was female
Willie married her.--N. l. Htraid.

TOLD AFTER SUPPER"
The Corate Had Too Much Pu0ch-The
Story the Psrson Tried to Tell to a
Party of Men.

Here is a choice bit from Jerome K.
Jerome's latest book. Told after Sup
per- 1t is the story of party made
up exclusively of men and the time is
Christmas eve.
I'VE had some more punch and then
the cnrate told US story. | could
not make head or tail of the curate's
story. so | can not retail it to you.
We none of us could make head or
tail of that story. 1t was good story
enough. so far as material went. There
seemed TO be an enormous amount of
plot and enough incidents to have
made dozen novels. | never before
heard 4 story containing so much in
cident nor dealing with SO many varied
characters.
Il should suppose that every human
being our curate had ever known. or
met, or heard Of was brought into that
story. There were simply hundreds
OF them. Every five seconds he would
introduce complete fresh collection
of characters, accompanied by a bran
new set of incidents.
This was the sort of story it was:
''Well, then, my uncle went into
the garden and got his gun. but. of
course. it wasn't there. and Scroggins
said he didn't belive it"
Didn't believe what? Who's Scrog-
@ins?'
'Scrog gins! Oh! why he was the
other man. you know it was his
wife
What was his wifc-what's she got
to do with it?'
Why, that's what I'm telling YOU.
1t was she that found the hat. She'd
come up with her cousin 10 London
her cousin was my slster-in-law and
the other niece had married man
named Evans, and Evans. when it was
all over, had taken tho box around to
Mr.. Jacobs, because jacobs father had
seen the man when he was alive, and
when he was dead. Joseph"
Now, look here, never YOU mind
Evans and the box; what's become of
your uncle and the guu?'
The gun! What gun?"
why. the gun your uncle used to
keep in the garden. and that wasn't
there. What did he do with il? Did
he kill any of these people with it
these Jacobses and Evanscs and Scrog-
ginses and JosephseS? Because, if so.
it was Il good and useful work, and we
should enjoy hearing about it,
"No-oh, no-how could he? He
had been built up alive in the wall
you know, and when Edward w.
spoke 10 the abbott about it nv sister
said that in her then state of health
she could not and would not, rs it was
endangering the child's life. So they
christened it Horatio, after her own
son, who had been kiiIe.I at Waterloo
before he was born, and Lord Napier
himself said
Look here, do YOU know what
you are talking about? we asked him
at this point.
= He said no, but he knew it was
every word of it truc. because his aunt
had Soen it herself. Whercupon we
covered him over with tie table-cloth
and he went to sleep"

WkLLACE'S RHEUMATISM CURE.
A Cnufi ling Man Tries 1t and Is No
Pleased with i't Cons" qnpncP.

Some time ago. says an Odd Soldier"
in the Philadelphia record, an article
appeared in your paper that ran about
as follows: Gen. Lew Wallace claims
tina: he can cure rheumatism in one
night by the application to the soles of
the feet OF a ponlticc Of garlic and
mustard. If this is true, a large por-
ton of the community will arise and
call him blessed.
Ever since the war | have suffered
from rheumatism. and have been con-
fined Il greater portion of the last
three months to my house from this
cause. AS rule | am not carried
away with the rheumatic remedies one
reals in the papers, but my wlfe's
opinion of the efficacy of this poultcC
was largely derived from reading the
general Fair Cod and Ben llur.'
At her earnest solicitation was in-
ducd to try the thing. The garlic was
mashed up with mustard and the
poultice placed to my fc t. | after
ward slept about four hours. but in
that interval passed from winter TO
midsummer. When | awoke it was
with warmth of feeling for Lew Wal
lace that never existed before.

bad enough, but | smelied like II Ger

look around the room, then up went
his back, and. with tail as thick as
his body, made blue streak for out
doors. | guess he Thought he had
struck Dutch lunch-counter. At all
events the rout was complete.
Now, Mr.. Editor. how can get

the smell of garlic out of the houses?

Tile hand Of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func-
tlonal arrangements and dis
orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medi-
cine can. 1t cures them. For
periodical pains, prolapsus and
other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "fe-
male complaints and weak
nesses, it is a positive remedy.
1t is a powerful, restorative
tonic and nervine, imparting
strength to the whole system
in general, and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. 1t keeps years from
your face and figure but adds
years to your life. It's guar
mzteea to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't
your money is returned.

I'll give you prescription for in

world to read. 1t is simply this: If
YOU cannot sleep the probability is
that it is because your stomach is
empty. Get up ana eat cracker OF

BEGINNING WITH A lUNC5.
japanese sword Cut for Which an
Ordinary Man Il UorSepa-ed.

The pictures and carvings of Japan.
as Il rule. present the warriors armed
with two swordS-one on each side.
says Il writcp in the Kansas City Star.
This two-sword matter is more u part
OF ceremony and state than anything
else.
When Il Japanese means business he
only needs one sword. They are not
so skillful of fence as the Europeans,
but nevertheless have Il number of cuts
and slashes. which, being in their nature
so many surprises, would give a swords
man unused to their methods some lit
tie trouble.
The first move Jap makes i'll Il
sword fight is fraught with danger to
his opponent. There are no prelimin-
aries with Jap. The fight begins
with him while his blade is yet in its
scabbard. and as he draws his weapon
wisdom will give him about forty feet
of room.
Grasping the scabbard near the
center he slightly tlts it so that the
point of the sword as it hangs by his
side is if anything, II little higher than
the hilt. The sword itself is curved,
very heavy, and with its single edge rs
keen rs twenty raz0rs.
When he draws it streams from the
scabbard like a beam of light. and us it
comes he makes Il prodigious step for
ward with his right foot. accompanying
the whole with Il rapid circular slash
upward of the back-handed sort. The
whole performance is one .motiou, and
rapid in its execution as thought.
Your Jap will reach man Il dozen
feet away, and the keen blade starting
its work low, will split an opponent
like Il mackerel. A japanese swords
man always makes this upward sweep
on drawing his weapon, whether an
enemy is in sight or not.
