HARSH-VOICED CANARIES.
They Are Not Allowed by German Ex-

Promising singers.

"Moulting is the crucial time for n
canary's voice" writes Ida Shaper

Village of Germany" in Ladies' Home
formal. "Some birds lose the little
that they have; others, of course, bios

soon as harsh tone is heard, out goes
that unfortunate bird, for promising
singers must never hear harsh chirp.

COST OF A ROYAL KITCHEN.
The Immense sums That Are spent
by the British Sovereign
Every Year.

II is said that King Edward of Great
Britain proposes to economic little
in his household expenses and will
make a raid upon the costly royal
Kitchens in his palaces, says a London
exchange. The one at Windsor is by
no means the most costly. Neverthe-
less it contains nearly $4,000 worth
OF copper and $4,000 worth of silver
and silver-plated utensils. George
III. expended 100000 upon the fittings,
which are mostly of black oak. and
apart from their historical interest
have greatly decreased in value.
Soon after his accession to the
throne the car laid out $4,000 in re-
modelling and furnishing the imperial
kitchens at the winter palaces, ST..
Petersburg. All the cooking utensils
are of solid silver, and include 40 stew
ing pans. none of which could be pur-
chased under 5000 apiece.
The spice boxes are Of solid gold, en-
graved with the imperial arms. and the
ranges and ovens are edged with sill
yer. The actual cost Of building the
kitchen was 100000. the purest black
marble being used throughout, and
the decorations were responsible for
al outlay of $4,000.
Among the cooking utensils should
be mentioned 5000 silver spoons and a
gold gridiron that belonged to the
great Catherine. The chief cook
draws a salary of $4,000 year, and
he has subordinates in receipt of sal
aries ranging between $1,000 and
$500. 10 say nothing of hundreds
of supernumeraries Altogether the
czar's kitchen eXpends about 100000

ROMANCE OF A BANK BOOK.
story of n savings Account That Had
Lain Dormant for Many
Yenrs.

The Bank for Savings, which is 80
years old, has the heaviest dormant ac-
count In New York, about 100000, in
which 1000 accounts are tied up, re-
ports the Press, of that city. OF these
the ownership of about 200 are solved
each year, and to this account are
added about so, which, after the lapse
of 21 years without being touched, are
entitled to enter the dormant class.
Put in these days the bank does not
allow accounts to rest so long, and
after ten years have elapsed a search
is made and the depositors located.
After that the bank keeps informed
Of their whereabouts each year. In
1919, the year when the bank first
opened its doors, a church mission in
New York made a deposit in the name
of"Mission of Jerusalem" The amount
deposited was small, but it was 81
years before that amount and interest
was paid to the proper church author
tiles.
"One Of the oldest cases which 7
have seen since | took hold of this
work." says Mr.. De Lsser, of the Bank
for Savings, twas that Of a colored
girl who lived four miles from Ja-
maica. The pastor of the family while
making a call one Say saw the children
playing with a soiled and torn bank
book. They had scribbled over the
leaves and were tossing the book
about. No one in the family seemed to
understand what the book was, and
the pastor looking at it and seeing
that il was one of our pass books
advised them TO bring it to the bank
| The girl who was II or IS years old
brought it to me. and on looking W
| the account ] saw that il called for sew
eral hundred dollars, deposited by &
woman who afterward proved to bc
the girls grandmother. Eventually
the girl got the money, and the Incl
dent, | thought, was closed. But sew
eral months afterward she came II
and said: Il was just goin' by, and
thought I'd drop in and tell you hov
much good that money did us And
say, do you know, I've just been mar
ried on it, And she left, beaming al
over as ! congratulated her"

In his eagerness to get good shot
and thus still further intimidate the
savages, he raised himself yet higher
above the rocks, and the next instant
fell backward into the arms of his be-
trothed, the warm blood squirting from
a bullet wound in his breast.
"oh, Ned, Ned, you are hit! You are
killed. she cried, in agony. "Oh! my
God, my God, what shall l do? Father
In Heaven, save him, save him.
With great effort he said:
"Be brave, Alice, my love, be brave.
'Tis not much am only-only stunned
a little. | will re-recover in ain
moment"
His face grew deathly pale, and
blood oozed forth from his pallid
lips. Alice almost screamed with
fright, and her voice trembled with
agony as she said
"Oh, Ned, my poor darling you are
dying. They have cruelty murdered
you! Father in Heaven take me with
him!"
With an almost superhuman effort he
seemed to rally his fast departing
strength and said:
81 am not so badly hurt as you think,
Alice, and can yet protect you. The
shock of the shot made me feel faint,
but it has passed. Raise me up in your
arms, dearest, so l can see over the
rocks. / will yet beat them back.
They shall never harm you, my be-
loved. Raise me up. There - now
rouse your hopes. Ali hear their
fiendish yells! They think they have
us now, but will soon learn their error.
Alice exerted all her strength in do
ing as he requested, and again his rifle
rang out as the Indians, supposing he
had been killed, were securing their
ponies and preparing for a descent
upon the maiden. Again they sought
shelter behind the rocks and resumed
their desultory fire.
The effort proved too great for the
wounded man, and he sank back heav'
lily into Alice's arms She now became
almost paralyzed with fright as she
gently let him down upon the ground
He looked up into her blanched face
and with smile so ghastly that il
seemed to betol1en the approach OF

She pressed her trembling lips to his
and moaned

you frighten me so! cannot bear It'll
Speak to me once again, Ned! Oh. he
is dying-he is dying!"
She gave way to her great grief in
the most pitiful sobs. The wounded
man made a great effort to rally his
strength, and feebly said:
"Alice, do not despair. I-I-I-I am
very-very faint. but I"
A fendish yell from the Indians cut
short his speech, and Alice, cold gilt
ter of desperation coming into her
eyes, laid his head gently on the
ground, seized his rifle, and, with a
strange ring in her voice, said;
"You defended me to your death, my
lost darling. Now / will defend you
till death calls me to go with you into
the dark shadow?"
RHising herself she looked over the
rocks, and to her ama2ement saw that
the Indians were hastily mounting and
rapidly retreating At the same in
stant rumbling sound from the direc-
tion of the fort fell upon her ears, and
casting her eyes in that direction she
observed a great cloud of dust raising
in the air. Springing to the side of her
lover she cried:
"Oh! Ned, darling, if you are yet
alive rouse yourself, The troops are
coming from the fort"
But the pale lips refused to move
and the eyes were closed as if in death
With a wild shrek of agony she raised
her hands aloft and fell across his
body, as troop of cavalry thundered

tween herself and Brown, his kind
ness of tone and tender expression as
he looked into her face filed her heart
with a great joy.
Ibid you recommend his discharge
from the service, papa?" she asked.
"That is no affair of yours, little
chatterbox," he replied. "You should
not try to pry into official business. If
i want to get the rascal out of the
service, it is nobody's business but my
own. Go mail the report and then
come back to me. l want 10 talk to
you"
When she returned she found hor IA
ther sitting on the porch reading a
late paper. She sat down near him
and waited for him to open up the con-
versation, her heart throbbing wildly.
| Furtively she glanced at his face, but
1t was as calm as summer day. Finally
he looked up and said:
Sunshine, have just been reading
q story here of young girl of about
your age, who, like yourself, was
brought into great peril She was
penned in burning building in New
York and brave fireman at the risk
of his own life rushed into the blind
ing smoke, up the blazing stairs and
lowered her from her chamber window
with a rope. In attempting to descend
he fell and was badly injured, and was
taken to a hospital. That young girl
belonged to rich, aristocratic family
and the fireman was n poor, obscure
fellow, no higher in the world, per-
haps, than an ordinary private soldier,
and she went to the hospital and
nursed him and cared for him as low
ingly as if he had been her equal in
the eyes of the world until he recov-
cred. She was noble girl. Alice and.
damme, she done just as would have q
daughter of mine do under like circum-
stances"
He threw down the paper and
marched abruptly into the house. leav.
ing her staring after him in wonder.
She picked up the paper herself &c
read the interesting story. She
glanced hurriedly over the prominent
headings, but saw nothing referring tC
n fire. She then turned her attention
to the minor articles, but the item re-
ferred to seemed to be hiding from hei
eyes. From page to page she turned
but only TO find her search fruitless
How could she have overlooked a story
which had caught her fathers eye? BE
ginning at the top of the first column
of the first page she went carefully
over the paper column after column
scanning every paragraph until tn,
bottom of the last column was reached
There was not in the whole paper
word about a girl being rescued from {
burning building
Then great light seemed to breal
in upon her. A half joyous, half wond
ering look came over her face, thei
vanished beneath smile of the mos
intense delight.
Just as would have daughter o
mine do under like circumstances.
