A Singing School.

"Are all canaries natural singers, ;"
repeated Ninth street bird-fancicr
in reply to the question OF a prospect
i've customer. well, l should say
not. Ioh might as we'll ask, if all the
parrots are natural takers, or all
,ren natural orators. know it is "A
popular fallacy that every canary
bird Is natural born singer, but it is
not so. Few people have any idea OF
the work OF the funcier III turning out
good birds"
The industry of teaching birds to
sing presented such a novel aspect to
the visitor that he decided to satisfy
his curiosity. The iancier consented
to disclose some OF the mysteries OF
the establishment, and conducted him
to the aviary in the rear Of the store
This was subdivided into several dit
lerent compartments. One OF these
was almost entirely filled with young
canaries.
''There is the greatest difference in
the world in these BIRDS" said the
tancler. "Sinslng seems to come
natural to about one third Of them
or the remaiuder, q third become
proficient by association with the
singers, and the remaining third are
almost a dead loss. 1t is true many
OF them learn TO cilirp little. but we
| usually count on lCosing a third Of q
brood. IN TACT, some never utter q
note. We always put q few older
birds who are good singers in the
apartment wish thevoung ones, and
in that way it doesn't take them long
to learn"
It was amusing TO watch the little
fellows. The scene resembiel d

various perches the old bir>;s would

Make More Cheese.

Dr.. G. c. Caldwell, an authority Oh
chemistry and 4 student OF asric,'lture.
suggests that Il greater variety OF
cheese in the market ut reasonable
prices would lead TO an Increased CON
sumption OF this valuable dairy
product. TASTES for butter DO not
vary much, but for cheese they are
nearly as great as the number OF those
who eat it. The variety OF cheese
found in most stores are Skins, filled
skins, eheddar and hall SKINS.
Cheddars when made full OF milk are
among the best cheese, bat seldom
Get in country towns. After any one
buys some skinned or filled cheese
they do not care ior any more. Ii they
could get o good rich cheese the
first time they would come back tcr
more. The imported cheese are too ex.
pensive for most oiusto buy, but could
we make some OF them here or else
uussWy kinds there would soon be a better
market.

4 Bullet in his Head Forty Years,

An interesting surgical study is that
OF a man who has Just died at st.
Gallen. This man, q certain Christian
Zogo, was a soldier in the "Sonder-
bund" war, :ortythree years ago,
and in the fight at Kiemengrate he
was severely wounded with a bullet in
the head. The surgeon could not ex-
tract he bah, for it had pierced be
hind the ear. 'and lay against the
hard skull. No one thought he could
live, but he did, swearing always he
had the bullet still in his head OF
course. after q time no one believed
him. though he suffered from terrible
headaches and occasional feebleminl1-
edneEs. But when he died his skull
was opened, and surely enough he had
lived for over forty years with this
bullet i'll his head. The skull at the
point where the bullet lay was three
or four times as thick as elsewhere,
and 4 piece the size OF very small
egg had been forced aside.

Macbeth's "innocent flowers appear

numerous scars, and it is common in
busy Broadway shops and other
large places in the trade to see pro-

with bandaged fingers. The thorn OF
roses cause the greatest mischief.
Florists ascribe their most serious
hurts to poison absobed in dollhouse
productions which have undergone
strong vermin-killing process. a
number OF the dealers infer that, after
many applications, the juicy parts OF
the plants become impresnated
with poison; for. although in the
course OF arranging flowers for sale
the stems get well washed, the slight
est thorn punctures or scratches will
cause tedious uncomfortable sores.

The above pictures of Marguerite,
queen of Italy, who is said to be the
most beautiful queen of all Europe,
slow the results of evolution. At four
teen she looks the sweet and innocent
provincial girl that she was. AT twenty
she looks forty. and as staid as though
the cares of large family rested upon
her sloping shoulders. At twenty-eight
she begins to renew her youth, and to-
day she is the full blown rose, in mod

fashion work just such startling trans
