rived, and | congra tulated myself on
having at last acquired some amiable
members OF my bird community. Such
gentle creatures were never seen, says
the Cornhill Magazine With their pale

heads which easily explained their
name of "capuchin," they made them
selves quite happy il one Of the many

ment broke out am9ng all the other
birds. Nearly every other bird seemed
suddenly to prefer going about on one
leg At last II dae'ned on me that
many Of the canaries had actually only
one leg. An hours careful watching
showed me parakeet siding up to a
canary, and after feigning to be deeply
absorbed in its own toilet, prrening
each gay wing feather most carefully
the little wretch would give a sudden
swift nip at the slender leg Of its

Milking the Reindeer.

With q good deal of running, gestur-

brought into the Enclosure, only q few
Of the widest animals escaping over

dren. Rushing into the inclosure In an
unbroken stream OF more than a thous-
and animals, the herd did not cease
running-the reindeer is always ON
the move. except at its regular resting
times-but continued to circle against
the sun. The reindeer In these circu-
lar motions always runs against the

butting in a friendly way, while giving
out their peculiar grunAng sound. the
picturesque figures Of our Lapponian
friends were seen, surrounded by a
thicket OF horns. Our hostess, having
hung her baby to birch In the middle
of the inclosure stood, like a num-
Der OF other women, mostly girls, with
wooden scoop III her hand, ready to
milk the first of the female reindeer
caught; while at the outskirts OF the
inclosure stood a number of children
with large pals to receive the milk
from the scoops, the smaller children
either running about playing outside
the camp or giving salt and angelica
to some OF the tamest animals. The
most important actors on the scene,
however, were the men moving slowly
about in the midst Of the herd, holding
the lasso behind their back in the
right hand and looking sharply at the
running animals.
AS quick as lightning a lasso whiz-
zed through the air. the frightened ami
mails recoiling and then increasing
their speed. When the lasso hit the
mark the COW was hauled In, and tied
to birch while the milking was done.
So they kept on for nearly two hours.
The quantity of milk yielded by each
animal is very small, at the most about
a teacupful, but it is of very high nu-
tritive quality. The milking, which
is by no means regular. is done, il pos

Dickens Love for Copperfield."
1t is well known among literary pen-
pie that Charles Dickens considered
David Copperfield" the best of his
novels, but occasions when he actually
expressed that opinion are so rare that
It is worth while to recall an incident
which happened while he was in Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Chaplin, father Of DR..
John B. Chaplin, the well-known expert
on insanity, was at that time at the
head of the blind asylum here. Raised
type for blind reading was just coming
into vogue, aud, desiring to have one
OF Dickens books printed in that way,
Mr.. Chaplin took advantage Of an intro
duction to the great novelist to ask him
which of his works he considered the
best, and mentioned the reason Why he
wanted to know. Dickens uphesitating-
iy answered David Copperfield.

Nerves and Pianos.

Piano playing, particularly by young
women Of no special musical taste, sen.
sitive, and not strong, is attacked by
the Medical News and the British Med.
ical Journal as the cause OF many ner-
vsus troubles. Out of 1000 girls de-
voted to piano practice observed by DR..
Waetzhold, 600 had grave signs of
chlerosis. Out Of 1000 other girls in a
similar environment emily 200 develop
ed such symptoms. There is no
doubt" says the Medical News, that
the foundation OF many a persistent
neurasthenia in after life can be trac-
ed to the nerve storms incident to musi-
cal training at time when nature de-
manded rest. not excitement" Very
many more girls have been broken
down by undue attention to music than
by college study, and both for very
young and very sensitive girls there Is
overwhelming medical evidence that
the pernicleus habit Of requiring must
