How to Keep Your Favorite Bird Clean,
Healthy and Comfortable.
Canary birds are often tormented with
little pests that are hard to detect The
insects that make themselves most OBJ
jectionable are little red mites. They
come out to worry him at night and
leave him irritated all over, while they
retreat to the cracks of the cage i'll the
daytime. The insect powder does no
good, because it is not long enough on
the skin to kill them if they were there,
which is doubtful, for, as l said, they
are nocturnal.
Still, you may powder him well, es-
pecially under his wings. with pyrethrum
powder; then wrap him Ill handkerchief
and hold him for a quarter of an hour
until the powder has time to work. Then
give him clean new cage and have
the old one either dipped in boiling wa
ter for several minutes or baked in the
oven. Nothing short of this will de-
stroy the horrors. To know if they cause
the irritation cover the cage at night
with white cloth and if there are any
about you will see them, like little red
specks, in the morning. Jour

Change in Social Life.

The wheel is slowly but surely affect
ing our social life. In England we learn
that girls are becoming independent of
the maternal guardianship, owing to the
fact that materfamilias is too heavy, as
rule, to ride. Now, in England, it is
not at all uncommon to see q couple Of
girls wheeling all over the country
through the shady lanes, unaccompanied
even by a bicycle attendant. 1t is not
uncommon, also, to see young couple
young man and a young woman
bicycling together without a chaperon
This is new phase of social life, and,
until all the chaperons learn to ride,
it would seem as though chaperonage
would have to cease. The London Queen
suggests that in the not distant future
mamma may follow her bicycling prog
eny in an automotor, or horseless car
riage. Another phase of the bicycling
mania is that the couples are generally
semi-detached, like the pilgrims to the
Bayreuth shrine of Wagner. The mu-
steal husband leads about another fell
lows musical wife; the one musical sis
ter of a family completes the party with
someone else's brother: and so on. One
of two sisters, with only one bicycle in
the family and no available brother.

GEORGIA SAVAGES.
Mountain Whites and Crackers, and
Their Love for Tobacco and Clay.

Mountain Whites and Crackers, and
Their Love for Tobacco and Clay.
A member of the board of home mis-
sions Of the Presbyterian church, dis
coursing of the poor whites of Georgia
the other day, said that common mis-
take was to confound the mountain
whites with the Crackers.
'"The Crackers are much lower and
more hopeless class of people than the
Others she said. "They live on and
near the sand hills. The soil is barren,
the climate unhealthful. The Crackers
are so called from their primitive method
of preparing corn for food. Many of
them have formed an abnormal appetite
for white clay found in that section.
They eat it because of a certain percent
age of arsenic found in it. On the other
hand, the use of tobacco is general among
the mountain whites. Men, women and
very young children chew tobacco.
Mothers give their infant girls tobacco,
and the little ones take to it with a nat
ural ayidity that is decidedly uncanny.
In the mission schools the girls bring
their tobacco and chew it while they
study their lessons. When the teachers
inveigh against the habit, the girls, ig-
norant and suspicious, think that the
teachers want the tobacco for their own
use. / have had to take the girls to the
fireplace and show them that | throw
stand that my only object is to promote
their benefit. This tobacco-chewing
habit is one of many difficulties we have
to fight in the education of the mountain
whites of Georgia If the mountain
whites are as bad as this, just imagine
what the Crackers must be, who are SO
much worse. New York Press.
