A PROFESSOR IN A CAGE.
The 5ird That ire Dealer Had No De-
sire to Sell.


GLOW much is that gray headed
bird in the large cage there?"
The question was asked of a Sixth
avenue dealer in canaries, and his
immediate answer was a shrug Of his
shoulders.
"He is not for SALE" were the
words that followed the shrug. "He
is a professor, a teacher of music.
He was graduated in Germany, then
became a professor and grew gray
in the service, yet he teaches and is
too valuable to part with for any
price that customer would be will
ing to pay"
A look of interested inquiry caus-
ed the old man to proceed.
perhaps YOU do not understand,
but that bird has put the finishing
touches on many a young singers
education In Germany, whence
100000 canaries are exported annu-
ally, they train these birds different
ly than we do here. Canaries, like
some other biped singers, may do
very well simply with the voice that
nature has given them, but to do
really excellent work they must be
taught. First they are choppers,
they will spoil a good bar by sending
it with a disagreeable chop, chop,
chop He has false notes or rests.
But training soon makes him
ashamed of himself. He is placed
in large cage with a professor, with
wise bird, who is a good singer
with a teacher of music, who dins
correct notes into his ears for two
or three weeks. If he is an apt pupil,
he soon omits his awkward rests,
corrects his false notes and ceases
to be Chopper Then he is grad
uated from the academy, and the
professor takes a new pupil.
"The bird you ask about is such q
teacher. If you should offer me
$3.50 for him | would consider the
offer. New York Herald.

THE FOUNT OF YOUTH.

The fount OF youth has Oft been sought
Since days Of long ago.
And oft In fancy mon have seen
Its living waters TOW.
Through desert. swamp and wilderness
The search has been pursued
In hope that by the magic fount
Youths charms might be renewed.
But men have turned from that vain quest.
Their hopes forever crushed,
For though they searched through all the world
No magic fountain eushed.
And men resigned themselves to age
That robbed them of their grace.
That sappcd their strength and thickly spread
Times wrinkles on the face.
In later years m,a's thoughts have turned
To plans for longer life.
AMI In elixirs they have sought
New strength for daily strife.
And oft It's heralded abroad
That scientist or sage
Has fraly eYolyed a plan
To stay the blight OF age.
But men rrNw old. and women. too.

by an Ottawa sprinter of no mean
ability. At the center of the field the
Ottawa man was not far from Wors-
ley. Then Gill, the Washburn captain,
who was closing up on both runners,
came within reach of the Ottawa
avenger, and with one ferocious dive
knocked him head over heels, thus
clearing the way for Worsley. Gill
kicked both goals for Washburn, and
the score at the end of 20 minutes
play was Washburn II, Ottawa 0.
1t was at this time that the Wash
burn rooters did their bravest. Led
by a bass drum, cornet, several big
tubas, and Prof Cartwright's cane, the
students sang the Yale "Boolah," writ

Hirsch. The Boolah seems to have been

that the home college was piling up

There was considerable .'beefing" on
the decisions of the officials. Washburn
was penalized several times by Umpire
