SMOKED CANARY BIRDS.

Oo Clouds From Pipe Develop q Rich
Color In Their Plumage?
A little old shoemaker who has a
busy, old style cobbling shop on the east
side is a bird fancier, and he has pe-
culiar ideas about canaries. One night
he was sitting on his leather covered
bench, smoking an extremely odorous
quality of tobacco in black pipe. A
customer was waiting for him to finish
Esraigh Tening up worn heel, and he
made several remarks concerning the
birds which hung about the cobbler's
shop. They were fancy birds, and he
could not help noticing it. Finally he
asked the shoemaker how be got such
richly colored birds.
cit S part in the breeding and part in
the atmospheric said the cobbler.
"You raise birds in shop where two
or three men are constantly smoking,
and in time you will get the darkest
orange color if you use little judg-
ment in mating and they don't run to
green.
II should think that tobacco smoke
would be unwholesome for the Birds"
said the visitor.
"On the contrary, it makes then,

Then the old man sighed and said:

EDMUND BURKE.
Tn Able and Versatile Statesman Who
Never Attained High Office.

Tn Able and Versatile Statesman Who
Never Attained High Office.
Though Burke never attained high
office his abilities were so versatile as to
qualify him for any post which a cabi-
net minister could fill. His practical
wisdom was as conspicuous as his power
of generalization. No one had clearer
comprehension or irmer grasp of great
principles Of universal application; at
the same time his policy in every de-
Part: aent CT English politics rested on
wide and solid basis of information
and experience. He was stepped in the
history of the past, yet penetrated
through and through with the reality Of
the present and ever and always mind
full of that future in which the specula-
tions and measures of the day were to
be tested and finally approved or con-
demned. His prodigious activity in pub
lie affairs sprang not from an intellec-
tual source alone, nor from his imperial
patriotism. 1t was constantly fed from
an inexhaustible store of moral energy.
He was animated by detestation of all
forms Of oppression, whether by kings
or governors, parliaments or peoples,
which was in him consuming passion,
from which his noble nature could onl-
obtain relief by denunciation of the n
pressor and the destruction of his pow
. cannot help thinking that Blu
must have been stimulated, too,
sustained by delight in his studies
his work. 1t is impossible, with
counting this as an additional incenti
to understand the amazing indus
which he devoted to the elucidation
all the great questions dealt with in h.
speeches and writings How his method
reproves the habit too common in our
day, as in other days, of debating sub
jects affecting the fate Of millions Of our
fellow creatures as if they could be dis
posed of by echoing the chatter of igno-
rance, or prejudice, or vanity, or self in
teresti w hen we read Burke sspeeeh on
Fox's East India bill, we say, 9 What's
great proconsul he would have madel.'
When wesread his speech on concilia-
tion with America. we feel that the
greteat of c6loniaII ministers Was Lost

Hot Weather Cautions for Bathers.

Never enter the water when over
heated rest a little first, and cool off,
but not enough to feel cold. Bathers
should enter the water when the body
Is at a glow, not when it is in active
or violent perspiration. Never enter
the water with a headache; never do
so with full stomach. Nothing can
be more dangerous to the system than
