The household,
. The Care of Canarles.

Do not give canary bird, sugar, figs,
raisins or anything sweet, except
small piece of sweet apple. peeled, once
or twice week. Take the apple out
after it has been 10 the cage a few
hours.
Give all the rape and canary seeds it
wants. and keep gravel in the bottom
Of the cage.
Do not feed it on celery. Give it
about one-third of hard boiled egg
during the week. Crate the egg and
use both white and yellow.
Offer it bath every morning, using
water with the chill taken off.
A cold is the cause OF most diseases
that birds are subject to. This is often
contracted by hanging the bird in a
draught Of air, or keeping him in a
very hot room through the day and
So'u o"c az HiSHV.
A cold, if not cured at once, leads to
asthma, and from that to a disease
known as the gapes, which causes the
bird to look like little puff: ball, while
his bill constantly opens as if to catch
breath, and the bird pants constantly.
TO cure cold which a canary has
contracted, give them, in addition to
their regular seed, paste made from a
hard boiled egg anda pulverized cracker,
thoroughly mixed. without any water
for moistening it.
1fa bird seems hoarse, or has appar-
emily lost its voice. small quantity of
red pepper put into the paste of egg
and cracker, will often effect cure.
With the disease know as the gapes
the bird should be kept warm. The
same food described above should be
given; also a piece of ripe plantain, if it
Is IN the season.
Birds troubled with diarrhea can be
relieved by placing a rusty nail in their
drinking water. Those troubled with
constipation should have a piece of
sweet apple, ckickweed, lettuce, or
green feed.
Most birds shed their feathers in
September and October, and. although
it is perfectly natural for them to do SO,
the operation is generally accompanied
with some slight disease. Care should
be taken, at that time, to keep them
from draughts, in comfortably warm
place, and feed occasionally with the
soft paste alluded to. A bird will
usually moult from four to six weeks.
Many OF the diseases Of singing birds
in cages-are caused by the presence
of parasites in the cage. Should your
canary or other bird look sickly, remove
it. and make an examination of the roof
of the cage. In many cases you will
see kind of grayish-red rust clinging
to the corners and roof. Look closer.
or with microscope, and you will
observe that this rust is comprised of
myriads of animalcule. They are bird
parasites. Bura them out with sulphur
and wash the cage with diluted salicylic
acid, and your bird will soon be restored
] to health.

been invested by the Vanderbilts in
railroad ventures during the last six
years Of depression. The investments
have been careful and judicious, and
the properties are now beginning to
show this. 1t is probable that in many
of these purchases Mr.. Pierpont Nor
gan. who bought $4,000 shares Of
New York Central from Mr.. Wander
bilt at 100 in 1879, has been consulted,
and it is also probable that he and his
associates have some interest in the in

wealthy gentleman, and during the
period named he has inherited one Of
the most princely fortunes Of modern
times from his father. He has the
reputation of being very astuse BUSH
ness man, and if.he really did counsel
the young Vanderbi!ts to place their
money in cheap railroad property he
certainly gave them good advice, for
there was a much money to be made in
buying and building railroads in 1885
as there was in the days Of either the
Commodore or VIM. H. Vanderbilt.
The scheme to increase the holdings Of
railroap property was a colossal one in
conception, and it promises to prove
quite as remunerative as anybody could
have foreseen. When w. Fl. Wander

Governor Flower Favorably Disposed
Toward the Labor Leader.

Toward the LAbor Leader.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, June 9.-There is
no doubt that Governor Flower intends
TO pardon Joseph Barondess, the labor
leader. In conversation with a reporter
last night he practically admitted as
much. The Governor came here to at
tend the funeral of his grandchild. To-
morrow he will leave for Albany to in
vestigate into the merits Of those con-
vlcts who personally applied to him for
pardons or communications Of sentences
while he was at Dannemora prison.
Governor Flower told an interesting
story of his experience at DannemoTa. He
said that he was surprised to find such
good discipline as exists there, and that
he was astonished at the neatness of the
prison.
He continued "Of course you cannot
believe what all tell you, for nine
out Of ten of them will lie. There are,
however, a great many worthy cases,
which l will consider. Now take the
case of the labor leader Barondess, who
came back from Boston and gave him
self up to the authorities. He went to a
manufacturing concern and told them
that he would put off the labor strike If
they paid him 500, which they did, and
he distributed the money among the
men and women of the establishment on
strike.
"His sentence was a year In prison.

held that he committed no crime, and
now the Court of Appeals decides that
he did II the General Term didn't
