how che has thought OF him for years

And the lame girl smiled softly to her
self as she muImurcd her dreams over
her work, and wandered again into that
imaginary world whence she always re-
turned happy wife upon Franks arm.
Even her fingers shared the radiance
Of her hopes, and the little bird whose

graduating the young man heartily.
Dora could not speak. She bent her
head lower over her work, and AS Frank

her mother had eyes only for the clock.
no one saw the young girls emotion, nor
her sudden pallor. nor noticed the violent
trembling Of the little bird in her fingers.

on one side like a creature wounded TO

Women can't read bows nature as
men can, and they might as well own
up. The Fort street mother who yes-
terday sent her boy TO a drug store
with a bottle and sealed note imag-
iued that she was sharper than the
serpent's tooth when she wrote To the
druggist: "Send me half pint of
port wine, and write on the label z.
W.-Poison. The druggist followed
orders, and when the boy got outside
he tore of the wrapper and read the
label.
"P. W.-Poison. he mused, rs he
walked along. "Wonder what that
is? p. W. doesn't stand for bedbugs,
and know it. and it doesn't mean
rats, either p. w can't be hair-dye.
nor scalp-wash. and I'm going to touch

He touched. 1t tasted go good that
he took sip, and meeting three or
four boys just then. the crowd entered
umber-yard and p. W.'d the con-
tents Of that bottle till only 4 gill was
left. Then one Of the lads ran home
after dipper Of water, tiled up the
bottle, and the Fort street boy trotted
homewards, whispering: "P. W.

sponded Henry, who WAS full of conh-

rs much about the construction of a
heater as he did of locomotive.
There is no use paying out all our
money to the heater and range man.

Then he got candle and went down

candle dropped int the heater and
groped around for n while in the inte-
rior, which suddenly had assumed
vast proportions. He found the candle
and ruined his shirtsleeves at the same
time.
After lighting it he peered up from
the bottom, inwardly cursing the hard
cement floor. which hurt his knees.
Then he got on his back, and sticking
mis- head under the CRATE as far as pos
sible, saw that bolt had rusted of
the crate. With his left hand he agi-
tated the dumping apparatus TO see
what the effect would be. About half
q blshel Of last seasons ashes came
down and filed his eyes, hair and neck
fall.
Mrs. Rattles hurriedly sent the chill
drcn up to The ;hird aoor so that they
should not hear their fathers remarks.
Then he got the hatchet and poker
and in few minutes had the CRATE
out. With it he came upstairs and
rested, while Mrs. Rattles figured that
his new suit to replace the one ruined
would cost at least $26.
Then he sent for the heater man,

THE CARE or THE CANARY.
Every Little Defender should Heed These
Instructions.

OF all birds 10 keep in the nursery
canaries are certainly the incest. They
are very affectionate. and can be tanned
to almost any extent. In buying a
bird be sure 10 20 10 res pectablc shop
OF YOU may be cheated. The writer
heard Of one lady who, to her disgust,
discovered she had bought a sparrow
painted yellow. thinking it very
handsome inary. She had given him
large price for it.
The best cages for canaries are those
made OF mahogany or any other hard
wood. BE sure never 10 buy one made
OF tir or other soft and porous woods,
a. they harbor insects. Cages are
really best made chiefly of wire; these
are light and neat and sasily kept
clean. The food and water vessels
should always be OF glass or porcelain,
aud placed outside the cage. so as to
let The bird have the whole of the in
terror TO himself. For one bird the
cage should not be less than twelve
inches in height and eight inches in
lcu9tn and breadth. Each cage should
have two perches. not under one an
other. The best food is canary and
turnip seed (lhe smaller summer rape
seed. in the proportion of one-third
or one one-fourth of the latter to two
thirds or three-fourths OF the former.
A little variation in their food occa-
sionalIy will be found conducive TO the
health and well being of birds. Oat-
meal or groats now and then, mixed
with their seed or given in the little
tin box Win which cages are usually
furnished will be useful; chick weed.
groundsel or lettuce leaf should be
given three or four times week, eX.
cept in a breeding cage. A small
lump Of bay salt or piece of old NOR
tar is good for them to peck at, and
slice OF apple, pear, plum or a cherry
will be grateful to the birds il not too
often repeated.
Ii is most important that canaries
should be kept dry, clean and warm,
and their owners must not forget that
these charming little birds are foreign
ers aud therefore cannot always bear
exposure to draughls 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 sur
round them with what is best suited to
the nature OF each.
For instance, remem bering the
bright, hot sunshine 10 which birds
from distant lands are accustomed.
it would be well TO place the cage in .
nice. safe, warm place daily.
But the poor little bird must not be
left TO shiver when the sunshine has
passed; il is better TO move his cage
before that moment. This should not
be forgotten by the young mistress OF
master who wants to keep pet healthy
aud happy.
