settled upon his wife, amounted to 100

Feeding the Canary.

Remember never to give canaries too
much heating food. Their regular diet
should be canary seed mixed with one
fourth the quantity Of summer rape
seed; this with supply Of chickweed,
groundsell or water cress is sufficient,
except in the breeding season, when a
more stimulating foodr1s needed, such
as hemp seed and little chopped egg.
In training young canary to sing the
best method is to place his cage near
that Of good songster. If this cannot
be done, procure fageolet which will
Initiate bird notes and play simple
air on it over and over again. The bird
will learn the tune in from two to six
months. AS soon as baby canary can
feed itself it should be removed to q
separate cage or it will learn its pa
rents notes instead Of the song It is
learning from it's teacher.

Prfuters' Errorn

A reader forwards me pleasant ad-

rofs, says T. P.'s London Weekly. 1t
was told him by the late G. Farquhar-
son Findlay, for some years editor of
the Dover Chronicle, as having hap
pened to him personally. He had oc-
casion to write of the "blind guides
whe strain at gnat and swallow
camel" which appeared in print as
who strain at quart and swallow
canal"
Did any Of my readers notice, Won
der, delightful error of this kind in
one Of the reviews, in which Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman was described as
''brandishing mailed fish?' It rather
reminds one Of the famous Spoonerism
about feeling a half warmed fish in
your bosom"

BANK CASHIER A SUICIDE
One of the Richest Men In st. Louis
County, Missouri, Ends His
Life Suddenly.

st. Louis, July 14.-E. w. Warfeld,
cashier of the st. Louis County bank,
at Clayton, shot himself through the
head while seated at his desk in the
bank at 1885 p. m.
He gave no warning of the deed.
With the report of the revolver, he
fell TO the floor, and was dead when
the body was reached by others in the
building.
1t is supposed that i'll health was the
cause of his deed, as his friends say
there could have been NO other motive
for it.
Mr.. Wartield had been in i'll health
for several months, but continued at
his duties most of the time.
He transacted business as usual dur
ing the morning, and gave no hint that
he was in abnormal mental condition.
Suddenly, while he was alone for a
moment, he drew a revolver from his
pocket, placed it to- his right temple,
and fired the shot that killed him.
He was 60 years old, and had been
with the St Louis county bank, the
oldest in the county, for Is years. He
was considered one of the wealthiest
men in Clayton.
