Tho Care Of Cnnnrles.

"In the caring for canary birds"
says a woman who has made special
study OF birds and their diseases and
is famous as a bird doctor, edo not
allow them to hang in draught, and
never hang the cage out of doors,
either in summer or winter. The
temperature should not be allowed TO
fall below sixty-five degrees in the
room where the bird is kept, and il
necessary covering should be put
over the cage, excepting o small por.
tion at night. Lettuce, water cress
or celery tops should be fed TO them
frequently. When these are not
easily procurable an excellent substi.
tute is found by planting German
black rape seed in pot. The canary
is extremely fond of the little plants
that soon spring up. Oranges, ap.
pies and split figs are good occasion
ally. Gravel must be supplied in
abundance. Hempseed is objection
able, as it tends TO fatten the bird
and thus spoil its song. If feed on
proper food, kept in clean cages and
given shelter from draughts, disease
rarely makes its appearance"

II began raining on the watersheds OF the
Colorado River as far north as the Concha
River, somo 1876 miles north of here, on We'd
nesday night, and never ceased until Satur-
day morning. From midnight until day
light so terrific was tho downpour that
creeks were transformed iRto surging tor
rents and rivers we're swollen to width OF
mile. 1t is estimated that within an hour
four inches of rain fell In this immediate
vicinity. by daylight IL became evident that
tho situation was serious. The river began
rising three feet an hour, and by 10 o'clock
it had increased to four feet
The situation at the oity's power station

FIRST
The immense dam spinning the river 200
feet lcng and so feet high, with the power
house and three-quarters Of million OF
dollars worth OF machinery located along
side was threatened from tho very fret. Tho
water roso SO rapidly that tho powor-hOuse
would be inundated within short time.
The surging torrent bore on is crest tons
and tons OF trees, houses and debris by the
wagon load. All this immense mass was
piled upon the dam, very rapidly forming
solid mass 20 feet high and 600 feet thick,
over which the watcr surged and iretted be-
fore taking it's GO-foot plunge
SO terrific was the strain that II was eyi-
dent that the dam must give way.
At 1lIj exactly tho crash came, and
slice Of granite feet thick, 25 feet in depth
and 500 feet long rolled out Of the middle Of
the dam and into the river below as though
ii had been priced out with a crowbar. This
released tho immense quantity OF debris,
trees and houses and the vast volume OF
water, and within thrice 1t was believing
on It's way down the river, carrying death
and destruction in its wake.
Just below tho dam were located eight
families Of poor people, numbering some
fvo and six apiece, who camprd and fshed
for their living. All Of these disappeared
with tho breaking OK the dam and have not
been heard OF siRce.
Eight men standing on the edge OF the

swept into tho torrent but were rescued a

A significant hint in behalf Of the
use Of lamps is found in the fact that
in florists greenhouses they arc used
exclusively Gas is deadly to plaut
life, while burning kerosene is not.
Where one is boarding and must sleep
in the same room in which one sits
during the evening, a lamp should in.
variable be used. The same rule holds
good for the family sitting-room and
for the rooms in which children arc
studying. An experiment involun-
tarily tried by mother recently dem.
Oustrated the effect OF the ordinary

MARKETING For the Family.

Firstly, don't be tempted by very
low prices, for as rule the Joints
thus marked have n great deal of fat
and bone, 1and consequently are ex.
trayagant When buying mutton,
choose the leg. 1t will cost good
deal in the first place, but then re.
member how small an amount of bone
there is in it. The shoulder and
neck, though both good, are very
extravagaut on account Of the large
proportion of bone. The breast is
cheap in price and can be bought, for
If boned, stuffed and rolled it will
make a delicious and Inexpensive
dish.
II you have family to provide for,
choose the top side of the round Of
beef for Sundays dinner. There is
no bone aud little fat, and yop will
find the cold JOINT useful for Mondays
dinner, when much cooking is unde-
sirable in those houses where some Of
the washing is done at home. For a
change ribs of beef may be had.
They should be boned and rolled
carefully, the bones being used for
soup.
A dish useful for a family is a beef
steak pie with a baked suet crust.
Cat up the steak and prepare it as fol
pie; then make the crust Of three
ounces of chopped suet, half pound
of -four, one teaspoonful baking pow.
der, one egg and sufficient milk to
make the mixture just slack enough
TO pour. Put into e quick oven till
the crust has well risen and then
keep it a moderate heat till cooked.
Pounded spinach leaves give fine
green color to soup. Parsley or the
green leaves Of celery put in soup will
serve instead Of spinach. - Washing.
