How to Stake Ont = Large Orchard with
Very Little Labor.

The cut shows a simple but effective
method of supporting young trees. es-
peciaIly where large orchard is set. In
such case, the saving of little labor at
each tree amounts TO great deal in the
case of the whole orchard. The trunk
of the tree rests in the angle between
three stakes. and is held there by strip
of cloth used as a string. The cloth Is
twisted about so as to have fold of it
between the hunk and the stakes, to
prevent chafng. The three stakes are

The Two NDark Days"

There are two ozark Days" men.
toned in the annals of New England.
The first occurred on October 81,
1716, when it suddenly became SO
dark soon after noon that the people
were forced to use artificial lights to
do their ordinary work. This strange
condition of the atm osphere lasted
about three aud one half hours. Again,
on May 10, 1880. there was remark.
able darkening of the atmosphere, but
the phenomenon did not come on 80
suddenly as that upon the earlier date.
The darkness in this latter instance
began between 10 and IL o'clock on
the morning OF the day named, and
lasted throughout the day. The dark
ness extended from the northeastern
part of New England westward as Tar
as Albany, N. Y, and southwark to
Pennsylvania. The most intense ana
prolonged darkness, however, was
confined to Massachusetts,. more es'
pecially to the seaboard. 1t is said to
have come from the southwest, bu'
there is no mention of it made in the
history of Ohio or Virginia. The ex

Music of Sayages.

Many OF the cannibal tribes are very
musical; the Maoris, for example, aud
the Fiji islanders. Songs and dances
are passionately admired by the latter
and the man who invents o new song
or step usually makes good deal OF
profit from teaching it.
Natives OF the heart OF Africa still
retain their love for music. Travellers
saw that the natives surround the MIL
itary 5uglers and dance in greatest de-
light ct the sounds brought forth.
The American Indians are not mu-
steal race as compared to the Central
African people and Africa affords far
better results to the scientific investi.
gator than does America. Ancient
Egypt conquered this part OF Africa
and the Egyptians possessed very
good Lutte, which has descended to the
savages.
The Kafirs are among the most ad-
vancsd OF the savage tribes to-day.
Their music and poetry are therefore
more highly developed than is usual
with savage nations. They have. to q
considerable degree, the gift of i'm
provision. The melody of Kaffil
songs is of the slightest, bat rhythm
and assent are very marked.
The bushmen OF Australia. the most
debased OF the human race, had
primitive instrument whichresembled
the jewsharp and when traveller IN
troduced the jewsharp among then
they instantly took it up and are de
voted to it.
An African tribe has on instrument
something like our piano. 1t has

The Care Of Canary Birds.

We have had bird over ten years.
during which period it has never been
sick or even dropped save once, when
a jealous ne;ghbor provided dessert
of burnt bone. Regular care an
scrupulous cleanliness are the requi-
sites for successful canary raising. Ii
you wish to raise birds, provide cage
of gool size, a nest OF cotton cloth
shaped with round wire or twig rinn,
line it with cotton, wool or feathers,
and lightly dust with fresh insect
powder. During incubation every
movement made about the cage should
be gentle and oil sudden or unusual
noise, avoided II the male bird is
quiet and well behaved, he may remain
in the cage, but if he puts on any
airs, remove him to another cage in
close proximity.
The young birds will break the shell
the twelfth or the thirteenth day, and
must be kept in an equal temperature
several dars, fed meanwhile on hard
boiled yolk OF eggs mixed with stale
bread crumbs from bread made with.
out salt. At the end of three or four
days soaked rape or canary seed may
be added, and little green feed at
rare intervals. Cages containing
young birds should never be exposed
to sunshine nor draughts OF air. A
bird cage should never hang high, nor
where stove heat will strike it directly.
The perches should be of soft wood,
little rough and just large enough for
the claws to reach half way around.
The perches that come with cages are
sometimes too large. Painted wire
cages should be cleaned once month
with boiling water. Brass cages are
better; if vanished, cleanse with q
cloth and cold water.
Give bath and fresh drinking water
every day in SUNNI r; in cold weather
bath every other day is all that IS
required, but drinking water should
be supplied every day and the foun-
tain cleansed. Keep cuttle-fish bone
between the wires, and suspended from
the top of the cage little cheese
cloth bag containing ground red pep
per or -four of sulphur. The birds
will pick at it and the powder sitting
through the meshes will keep OFF IN
sects. Cut the claws twice year.
Conduct this process with great care,
| for their little bodiesar very delicate.
One person may hold the bird in the
half closed hand, another clip the ends
of the claws with very sharp scissors
Hemp seed is not good food for male
birds. It tends to fatten and they
will not sing well. Plantain, pepper
grass, turnip, cabbage Or any small
garden seed is acceptable. American

Feat Of a North Carolina Hen.

a reward. She is . communicating
fowl of q Scotch Brahma breed and
cackles contentedly when she has laid
an egg. The other day che left one In
the nest. It was veritable Jumbo
among eggs, measuring five sud q
quarter inches around one way and
eight and one half inches the other.
Mr.. Spruill concluded to save the
shell, so he broke holes in each end
in order to blow out the contents.
Then he discovered that there was an.
other egg inside the big shell. The
inner egg was about the usual size
and was perfect in every way. The
two shells have excited much interest
in Columbis, where they were placed
on exhibition. There is no record
that Mrs. Brahma cackled longer OF
louder than usual over the double egg

osraphing the Eye.

At recent meeting of the Paris
Academy OF Medicine, reports the New
York Times, NJ. Guinkoff stated that
he had successfully photographed the
interior of the eye. The advantages
of this method are important, since it
en- ,bles actual pictures OF the disease
of the retina to be secured AMI com.

whether disease processes of the eye
progress or not. The picture is made
in two seconds. The apparatus can
thus serve as an ophthalmoscope, and
