An Aesthetic Canary Bird.

l wonder if, among the thousands
of children who love and care for pet
canaries, many realize that there is
just as much difference in the char
acters and dispositions of the birds as
there is in their little owners. Some
birds are out and out aristocrats, while
others are the veriest little plebeians.
| had once a canary who, in spite of
all my bribes, entreaties and coaXings
simply would not battle. Every time
1 came near his cage with the little
white bathtub filled with water, he
would curl up into the sullsiest little
yellow bail you can possibly imagine.
High on the topmost perch would he
sit, the very picture of rage. If l
put the tub in the cage, he would
fight me, shrek out little discordant
notes. and fly into such a tempest
of anger that for fear he would hurt
himself l had to take out the hated
tub.
So deep seated was this yellow
atoms aversion to bath that | named
his Tramp" and, although as a mat
ter of form | still took the tub to
him daily, l had resigned myself to
his untidy nature, when, one day,
accidentally broke the white tub, and
in its place | CHANGED to take a Gu
riously shaped little Japanese dish
of blue and white china.
AS | came near the cage, "Tramp's"
joyous morning carol stopped short,
and he flew UP TO his topmost perch,
as sulky a litte bird as you would
care to see. But what is this?
placed the dish in the cage; and as the
sharp little back eyes rested on it,
the yellow ball flew down with out
stretched wings and glad chirps of
joy, perched for an instant on the
brim of the dish, and then splashed
into the water with every indication
of the utmost joy. l was amazed, of
course, and could not understand the
change Day after day went by and
each morning Tramp welcomed his
bath in the blue and white dish.
Then, one morning, the blue and
fered a white one similar to the old
one.
Once more Tramp showed the old
aversion to his bath. Sulkier than
ever now, he flew on his topmost
perch, anu greeted me with shrill
chirps of rage. So it continued, till
found another blue and white dish.
Then my aesthetic little pet resumed
his daily bath.-Christian Register.

Ca Notes.

Hardly any animal is so we'll known
to us as is the cat. 1t is found in
nearly every home, and seems to be
the proper ornament Of the hearth.
: But common as it has become, pussy
is not native of the British Isles, for
1t is not descendant of the wild cat
Aonce hunted in England and Scotland
Tor its fur. Our fireside friend came
from the far east, probably from Per-
sia, which can still provide such bea
tiful specimens. In Egypt it was ac-
tually an object of worship, and cat
mummies are sometimes found in the
land of the Pharaohs. Considering it's
eastern origin it is passing strange
that no mention of it occurs in the
Bible. This was due, so it has been
said, to the fact that the Jews of old
did not love animals and that they
saw so much cat worship during their
stay in Egypt that they took a spe-
cial dislike to the animal. The Dutch
on the other hand, remarking how
stoutly it fought for life and liber-
ty, chose the cat for their ensign.

FoxY's New Collar.

do" And my mistress said, yes"

I've found out now.
Next DAY Elsie sat in the parlor
studying and l was gnawing her
Nshoes. when my mistress came in and
gave Elsie little package. And Elsie
%jumped Up so quick she knocked me
over, and clapped her hands, and cried:
"Oh, mother, you really did. It's the
loveliest little collar | ever saw" And
| jumped up and barked, too.
Just then l found newspaper and
dragged it p to Elsie, cause thought
she wanted to tear it up, like / do
when feel glad She looked SO glad,
you know. And I guess she did want
It for she tried to tear it away from
me, and then | lodged round the
room, SOS she could have some fun
chasing me.
But at last she caught me and took
away that beautiful newspaper, and
lust think-threw it in the waste pa
per basket. Then she held me down
and fastened something around my
neck. I didn't run away. l sat still,
wondering what that funny thing was
round my neck.
Then remembered that newspaper
land I wanted it. But when l moved
something jingled. I cooked my head
and listened and it jingled again.
wondered where the noise came from,
and I ,.n al round the room. hunt

ing for it. And all the time 1t kept
jingling in my ears, and all the time
Elsie and my mistress sat there and
laughed at me.
1t worried me awfully. I thought it
was new kind of rat, and tore all
over the house looking for the rat,
with mat jingle in my ears. 1t drove
me most crazy, l can tell you.
But now I've found out it was two
little bells on that collar thing on
my neck that jingled SO. And though
| don't mind it so much now as | did
at first keep scratching and working
hard to get that collar off. l haven't
got it off yet, but I will some day. 1
don't like such things on my neck.

The Late Queens Autographs.

Great annoyance has been caused at

of which an immense number have
been produced in the open market dur

sible to understand how such strictly
confidential communications as the
queens private letters to foreign SOW
ereigns and to the Duchess of Glouces-

family can have come to be publicly
offered for sale, unless they have some

VIM. WASHINGTON DROWNED.
Falls From Boat and Disappears Under
the Ice

William Washington. colored thirty years
old, fell from the deck Of the tug j. O. Car
ter about o'clock today and was drowned
while the boat was opposite Jones light
house just below Alexandria. AS soon as
possible the boats engine was reversed
and the heavy tug was backed a short dis
tance. The members of the crew and Po-
liceman Perry of the harborma ster's crew
who was aboard as inspector, made a
search for the body, but without success
Washngtons body went directly be-
meath the heavy cakes of floating Ice and it
was not seen again. On account of the
great amount of ice in the river it was
probably impossible for the drowning man
to reach the surface The members of the
crew became satisfied they would not be
able TO find his body. and the boat returned
to the wharf for the purpose of giving the
men aboard an opportunity to get the Crap
ping irons and additional men to assist in
the search for the body. On account of the
ice it is believed some difficulty will be eX-
perienced in using the irons
