THE CARE OF THE CANARY.
Every ISt.l~ Defender should Heed
These Instructions.

These Instructions.
Fror, New York World.
OF all birds to keep in the nursery canar-
les are certainly the incest. They are very
affectionate and can be tanned to almost
any extent In buying bird be sure to go
to a respectable shop you may be cheat
ed. The writer heard of one lady, who, to
her disgust discovered she had bought a
sparrow painted yellow, thinking 1t a very
handsome canary. She had given a large
price for it.
The best cages for canaries are those
made of mahogany or any other hard wood.
Be sure never to buy one made of fir or
other soft and porous woods, as they har-
Dor insects. Cages are really best made
chiefly of wire; these are light and neat and
easily kept clean. The food and water ves-
sells should always be of glass or porcelain.
and placed outside the cage, so as to let the
bird have the whole of the interior to him
self. For one bird the cage should not be
less than twelve inches in height and eight
inches in length and breadth. Each cage
should have two perches, not under one an
other. The best food Is canary and turnip
seed (the smaller summer rape seed), in the
proportion of one-third or one-fourth of the
latter to two-thirds or three-fourths of the
former.
will be found conducive to the health and
well being of birds Oatmeal or greats now
and then, mixed with their seed or given in
the little tin box with which cages are
usually furnished, will be useful chickwecd,
groundsel or a lettuce leaf should be given
three or four times a week, except in a
breeding cage. small lump of bay salt or
a piece of old mortar is good for them to
peck at and a slice of apple. pear. plum or
a cherry will be grateful to the birds, if not
too often repeated.
1t Is most important that canaries should
be kept dry, clean and warm, and their
owners must not forget that these charm
ing little birds are foreigners, and therefore
cannot always bear exposure to draughtS
in which hardy American birds thrive.
When keeping pets children should try to
realize the kind of country and especially
the sort of climate natural to them. 1t will
then be easy to surround them with what is
best suited to the nature of each.
For instance. remembering the bright hot
sunshine to which birds from distant lands
are accustomed. 1t would be we'll to place
the cage in a nice, safe. warm place daily.
But the poor little bird must not be left
to shiver when the sunshine has passed; 1t
is better to move his cage before that mo-
ment. This should not be forgotten by the
young mistress or master who wants to
keep a pet healthy and happy.

Fancy Gold Fish.
Fancy goldfish are in greater demand
than ever before. They have fan-shaped
tails, and their other fins SO mNch over
developed that many of them can hardly
swim. But they are highly ornamental
and pretty to look at. We procure that
sort of stock from Japan, where such
freaks have been bred for many centuries.
OF course, the golden carp are purely arti-
fetal. Left to themselves in pond, they
lose their brilliant celebration in the course
OF few generations. 1t is only by painstak-
Ing selection and propagation that the
goldfish has been produced. BY the same
means the fms have been made abnormally
large, and the very shape of the body has
been altered to chunky form. In fact,
the goldfish has been domesticated for so

Americas Paper Making Capacity.

FROM the New 1crk Telegram.
The United States has a capacity for
producing about 15,2j0.0OO pounds of paper
annually, not counting the idle mills, of
which at present about seventy are re-
ported. out of total of 1,1SO. OF this
enormous product some 5, T35,0O0 pounds are
used in printing newspapers and books
and 212.SOO pounds more go to help bind
the books printed. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 pounds are consumed by the build
ing trades; 3176.OOO pounds of wrapping
paper are used and 100000 pounds of writ
ing papers. An important item is the pro
duction of nearly 100000 pounds of press

duction of artificial leather" fortunately

There is no ruth in the popular notion

"One reason why canaries get sick is
that the canary seed sold in the market is

companies and ed-jobbing concerns, which
know nothing of the care and management
of birds put up wretched compounds con-

the sweet German rape seed. 1t is very
