CARING FOR THE CANARY.
II 1t Mopes and Has Hoinesicxness Let !

II 1t Mopes and Has Hoinesickness Let IL
Have Looking Glass.
The following interesting story of
how canary was cured of homesick-
ness was told by n st. Louis man:
"Nct long ago my wife purchased a
canary at bird store. 1t had been
accustomed to companions of it's kind
at the store. but at our house it was
entirely alone. The pretty little
songster was evidently homesick. 1t
would not sing, it would not eat, but
Just dropped and seemed TO be pining
away. We talked to it and
tried by every means in our
power to cheer the bird up, but all
in vain. My wife was on the point
of carrying the bird back to the store
when one day friend said Give
him piece of looking-glass. Acting
on this suggestion, sheItied a piece of
broken mirror about the size of q
mans head on the outside of the cage.
The little fellow hoped down from
his perch almost Immediately, and,
going up close, looked in, seeming de,
lighted. He chirped and hoped about,
singing all the pretty airs he was mas
ter Of He never was homesick after
that. He spends most of his time be,
fore the glass, and when he goes tc
sleep at night he will cuddle down at
close to the glass as he can, thinking,
very likely, that he is getting near to
the pretty bird he sees so often"

In the early days in California, a
young German, John q, Almondinger
wishing to Americanize himself as
much AS possible, applied to the legis.
lature and had his name changed tc
John &. Almond. few days later 3
man named John Smith applied to the
same legislature, and, after reciting
a long catalogue of the ills to which
he was subject owing to his unfortun'
ately common name, he said, in con.
clusion: And whereas | have notice.

LAST night the new Republ can
school board began its sway. The old
board is a thing of the past, and with
IL went into oblivion many unpleasant
bon mots. That some of the members
Of the old board were guilty of cer-
tain irregularities is beyond question.
but there are n number of members
who came out untainted and with no
smell of wrong-doing clinging to their
raiment. But the old board AS n whole
made an unenviable record, and the
people of Guthrie trust that the new
board will fulfill campaign promises
and look TO the schools. The public
schools OF Guthrie stand second to

TO COOK Zoos.
The way Given Is Both Delicate and
wholesome.


Wholesome.
"a fried egg is just as wholesome as
a poached one, IL IL be done properly"
Such was the startling announcement
made by prominent New York
physician. To fry properly, the
fat must be smoking hot ord
the food drained on absorben
paper, than which nothing is better
than the coarse yellow-brown sort
used in meat shops. That is the whole
secret.
Eggs are among the most valuable
of our resources in providing for chill
drcn. For them. as for adults. 1t is
not possible to prescribe the best
method of cooking. One doctor says
they should merely be allowed TO set
by standing in hot water. Another
tells his patients to drop them into
boiling water and boil rapidly for
twenty minutes, or until the
yolk is like powder. Poaching is in
sisted upon by others, whereas the
personal experience of the writer is
that they are far more indigestible
done in that way than in any other. II
seems, i'm short, n matter of individual
idiosyncrasy as TO the method bes,
suited TO each. An admirable method,
not generally known, is stcaming
them in an egg boiler, under which
there is a reversible cup for alcohol,
so that they may be timed exactly and
can be cooked hard or soft, according
to taste.

The Blood Curdlins Experience OF Girl
In boston suburb.
Not long ago young lady was lying
half awake in bed in an old house in
Boston's suburbs Suddenly she be-
came wholly awake with the con-
sciousness that a mouse was running
over her chest. She had presence of
mind enough not to move, reasoning
that the mouse would presently run
away without harming her. Bat in
stead OF running away the little
creature crept into her neck, and
there nestled comfortably down, his
back curlcd against the lower part of
her cheek, which lay on the pillow
The lady's blood was simply frozen
with horror, but She did not dare to
move fearing that the mouse would
bite her il she did. Collecting her
wits, she finally resolved that
she would by mighty and sudden
effort, jump sidewise in the bed
way from the mouse, leaving him
high and dry on the pillow, and then
get quickly up and out of the bed on
the other side. She would count three
and then jump. She counted one,
two, three-and then she did not
jump. The mouse nestled comfortably
closer to her neck. 1t was now or
never. She began again and counted
one, two, three! This time she jumped
sidewise, downward, upward and every
way, and screamed besides a tthe top

THE INFLUENCE OF THE EAST.

AS far back as history goes toward
the origin of the Eastern world, we
find traces of the very considerable
share of influence exercised by the
group of nations which has been in
cluded under the general name of Ma
lay, taken from a district of Sumatra,
one of the large islands partly popu-
lated by them No region in the
world was better furnished than this
with the facilities for transit and ex-
change; if the word ''predestined"
could be applied to any part of the
earth's surface, it might justly be ap-
piled to these islands and peninSulas
of Malaysia.
They abound in products of every
sort and kind, minerals and precious
gems, bark and gums, plants and
fruits; every island has its riches; no
where is there a greater diversity of
living forms, vegetable or animal: two
floras. two faunas, men of different ma
tionality and race confront each other
across a narrow arm of sea Great
trunks of floating trees supply the
riverside populations with ready-made
RATS, only needing to be disbranched
and solidly dashed together with llama
ropes; while the forests of the sea-
shore offer their choicest woods to the
boat builder. Wide roadsteads and
sheltered Ravens break the outline of
the islands: innumerable ports of call
present themselves ON every side. d.
recting the voyage of the navigator.
Gradually the Malays became the
natural intermediates between the
various countries of Eastern Asia,
from India. to Japan; and. favored by
the trade winds, which carried them
across the India ocean from shore to
shore succeeded in turning the flank
of the great barrier that separated the
two worlds, and even gained the coast
of Africa. Madagascar was included
within their area of navigation and of
conquest, and their civilization radi-
ated almost to the opposite extremity
of the earth'S surface, within a little
distance of the American continent.
The system of enumeration which OBJ
tains in all the Polynesian languages
is proof sufficient of the wide spread of
this Malay civilization.
Even in our own day, notwithstand-
and industry have given to the Euro
pean navigator, great part of the
carrying trade of the far east is still
conducted by the Malays with their
fleets of praus No literature is richer
than theirs in stories of the sea, and it
was the Malay seaman who gave TO
the Arab the Thousand and One
Nights that still charms our children.
-Elisee Reclus, in The Contemporary
Review.
