The Final SDlurge.

Arthur CUTLER Couch's story called
1.-THE Pauper" contains the description
of a poor old couple who give the last
little entertainment to their friends be-
fore going into the workhouse. 1t seems
to be the usual thing for Cornish folks,
whose hospitality even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances is pro-
verbal. They like to make a splash be-
fore going under. Miss Scantlebury
did it better'n anybody I've heard tell
of, say these gOssips. when she fell
into redoOced circumstances, she sold
the eight day clock. that was the only
thing o value she had left. Brown o
Tregarrick made it, with very curl
Gus brass dial, whereon he carveda full
rugged ship that rocked like a cradle
an went down stern foremost when the
hour struck. Twas worth walking a
mile to see. Browns grandson bought
it off Miss Scantlebury for guineas,
he being proud of his grandfather S
skill, an the old lady drove into Ire
garrick wOrkus behind a pair of grays
wi the proceeds. Over and above the
carriage hire she'd enough left to adOrn
the horses wi white favors an give the
rider crown, large as my lord. Aye,
an at the wOrkus door she said to the
fellow, said she: All my life I've
longed to ride in bridal chariot, an
though my only lover died of decline

last, said she, an now heaven an airth

TEACHING CANARlES.
Sole Occupation of Seven Hundred Fami-
lies In a. Small Town of Saxony.

Sole Occupation of Seven Hundred Fami-
lies In a. Small Town of Saxony.
In a small town called st. Andreas-
berg [SaIony) some 700 families are en-
tirely engaged in the task of rearing
and educating good canary singers. A
great proportion of these singers is sent
abroad, far or near-to London, to Aus
tralia and to the United States. where
one single firm ships 100, 600 birds each
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir, as they are called IN
Germany, on account of their notes.
These schreir, which are bought from
20 to so cents in the Harz, are sold for
So, So or 81 in America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroHr. a good hohlroller
cannot be had under IS or S10-in the
Harz-and $40 and $50 are no unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite a number of words, each of which
applies TO a different sort of tune, or
intonatioA; the beulrolle Is in minor
key; klingerolle applies to silver tones;
koller to a warbling which reminds of
the murmur of water, gluchrolle is
similar to the nightingalNA notes, and
one may say that every detail of the
canary's song has been named, and that
for every one there is a standard Of per-
fection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly we'll. The song of all canaries
is not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points, and while the one is
great on beulrolle, for instance, it is
weak on gluchrolle, while the case is
reversed with another race.
Of course singing is natural feature
with canaries, but the influence of edu
cation Is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins in May for the young
canaries, and they are, as soon as possi-
BILE, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some 10 or 20 young canaries
are put in one cage with an older bird,
an especially good singer, and he teaches
them the elements. They try to initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
fuence. In August each of the young
birds is put in a small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity of the cage
of the teacher. At this time the fancier
tries to gather some idea of the prog
ress achieved and of the aptitude of the
different birds The best are put in the
nearest vicinity of the teacher. In or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth, so as to prevent them
from seeing what is going on around
them, and in order to encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped in
form of dome; this shape intensifies
the sound, and the birds are pleased
with their own music.-Popular Science

National Handwriting.

If individual character influences in
dividual handwriting, national charac-
ter should influence national handwrit-
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art of the Italian, the
pride of the Spaniard, the vivacity of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their penmansh1p.
1t may be so, but as a rule it would
take an expert or an enthusiast to tell
the difference between the writing Of
the shrewd Scotchman. the staid Eng
lishman and the lively Irishman. Ger
man handwriting. however, is truly in
dicative of the national character; it
requires nearly as much patience 10
read it as to write ii.
On the other hand, one seeks in vain
to discover the temper of a Jew from
the dots AMI points of Hebrew or to de
cipher the character of Mr.. Pitman
from the phonetic alphabet.

Betsy Patterson Bonaparte.

Nine. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister-in-law of an emperor, was born in
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned to her native land,
where she passed the last years of her
life.
One of the old lady's crack stories in
her latter days was of 4 lesson in eti-
quette given her by the black butler Of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish
ing I. second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
at the head of the table, put it down
with great flourish on the sideboard.
But l wanted another cup of tea, !"
said Nine. Bonaparte.
did you. mum?" blandly asked Un-
Gle Bob. You see, mum, you put your
spoon in de saucer. an that means you
doan' want no mo- tea. When you
wants some mo- tea, de erect way is
to put de spoon in de cup--like dis
heah," and Uncle Bob gravely illustrat-
ed the erect" method of procedure. =.
The family were on thorns, expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law of
an emperor, although there is no doubt
that a black butler in his own baili-
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.
After 90 years OF money getting and
money saving, she realized In the lat
ter part of her life how futile il sll was
and explained grimly, "Once 1 had
everything but money! Now 1 have
nothing but money. boston Tran

USE OF A FLYING MACHINE.
What May BE Gained by the Perfection
the Invention.


the Invention.
What important purpose can flight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed of aeriation will
greatly exceed that of any terrestrial
locomOtiOn.
From this follows an entire economic
change in the direction of rendering i'm
mense tracts Of comparatively worthless
territory al distances OF 20 to 40 miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to large extent accom-
plish what Henry George sighs fo-, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable of carry
ing unseen at night large quantities of
explosives to the center of city war
would become so destructive that it
would be soon supplanted by arbitra
ton as matter of common sense and
self preservation.
Arbitration once established, an in
ternational police system controlling na-
tions as we do individuals, and enforc-
ing the DEGREES of boards of arbitration,
would be enormously assisted by this
power of rapid and if necessary destruc-
tive patrolling.
Immense areas of country, now well
nigh impenetrable, would be opened to
usefulness. Large sources of wealth
would thus be added to the civilized
world and would result in the amelio-
ration Of the condition of the savages of
such regions as central Africa.
We should have to give up selfish leg
islation and restriction upon the COM
merce of other nations, and be obliged
perforce to stand on a broader her
itage than that of nation or of zone. !"
