CARING FOR THE CANARY
By Lillian Mason.
VARIOUS HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES AND
LAUNDRY HELPS.

VARIOUS HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES AND
LAUNDRY HELPS.
If you do not make up your mind to
be devoted TO a canary, do not buy one
or accept it as a gift. No other pet is so
much at your mercy as the feathered one
shut in his cage. BY your forgetfulness
he may be half roasted or frozen, starve
or die Of thirst, OF fall prey to the stealthy
cat. Don't have his cage too small and
no matter how mild the weather may be,
never be induced to hang the cage out Of
doors; neither should it hang before a
lowered window or in a draught. Sixty
five degrees is the right temperature for
the bird to live in, and il his cage is hung
high you have but 10 step on a chair and
bring your head to the same level, when
il will usually be discovered that this
upper strata of air is so or 90 degrees.
AT night look out for chills, and even
in quite mild weather throw a cloth
over the cage, leaving a small place free
for ventilation.
Give an abundance of gravel and also
green food daily in small amounts. One
leaf of lettuce or few sprigs of chick
weed is enough. IL must not be for
gotten that some of the things that the
bird eats most greediygare bad for him,
like hcmpseed and cake. Therefore give
the bird daily BATH clean cage, lots Of
gravel canary and rape seed, little
green food, and shelter from draughts
or high temperature, and he will live to
old age without losing his voice.
GUM ARABIC FOR STARCH.
Pour one cup of boiling water over one
ounce of gum arabic and let il stand over
night. when it should be dissolved Put
it into bottle and stop tightly Put a
few drops into the starch using more or
less as liked, and il will give new stiff
mes that can be gained in no other way;
it will also last longer with this addition.
WASHING RIBBONS.
II the best soap is used with lukewarm
water. most any sort of ribbon may be
washed Make a weak suds, but do not
rub the soap directly on to the ribbon

a message to him"
Yes, | believe he could. But never
mind Hollister. Let's put all unpleas
ant things out of our mind this afternoon.
I've brought that new story of Kiphng's
and I'm going to read it to you. And
now if you'll just allow me to arrange
you in this big chair. with this pillow at
your back-so-we'H have the best time
ever"
And they did. The reading was oc-
casionally interrupted by appreciative
comments or sympathetic expressions OF
glee. Together they laughed at the fun
and wept at the pathOS of the story.
Nor was Lloyd's weeping unmanly. In
deed, he justly prided himself on his
lachrymal powers. Never maudhn, but
with the effect of tears wrung from
strong man, he often thus (purposely)
showed the gentle side of his really lovely
nature, and the result was artistic and
effective.
Its our story, deary," said Lloyd as
he finished. 1T is just what we have
so often planned and dreamed as the
ultimate perfection of life. And some
day we will live it, you and l, in our
own castle in Spain"
yes" said Barbara dreamily, and
there will be red roses by thousands"
Millions" corrected Lloyd Yves.
millions And a moonlit lake, with
swans and gondolas-"
And pagodas and Alhambras and
daffodils"
Yes, all our own particular delights
just crammed in together"
Then We'll have to include the Flat
iron Building and the sheep in Central
Park"
Yes, and the light on the sill and
the wind in the tree. "
"Of course. Barbara, what's the use?
Do come to me, deary! Go with me to
our castle in Spain, and let us be happy.
| love you so, mine!"
Don't, Rob, don't! 1t is such a
temptation! l love the picture sol
But"
But that COMPOUNDED HOLSTER stands
in the way!" broke in Lloyd fiercely.
Barbara, YOU don't love him, and YOU
know it! You can't! You couldn't live
with a man who doesn't know his Alice
and his Omar by heart"
Barbara smiled at the literary master
pieces Lloyd had chosen as tests; but
she knew that the truth underlay his
statement.
You must decide between us, Bar
bara. I'm not afraid to have YOU decide,
for you belong to me, and have always
belonged to me from all the past ages.
We used to be together n Sicily two
hundred years ago, when you wore a
fillet in your hair and stood on the mar
bic steps in the blazing sunlight"
Beside the Fountain of the Laughing
Rose?"
Yes, my beloved. And our life will
be just a song of laughing roses. Tell
me, Barbara-tell me, my little girl, that
you care for mel"
oh, 1 do, Robert You know l do
And yet"

come at seven and take me out to dinner,
instead of Mr.. HOLSTER. Then you'll
know"
"Al1 right, my girl. Ill go now and
reserve a table for us"
Don't be too sure" said Barbaras
but her smile was a merry one.
Il can't help being sure of dead
certainty" And Robert Lloyd went away
without the slightest misgivings-
Next morning John HOLSTER called for
a moment on his way down town. " We
engaged table for tonight" he said,
''since you're so anxious to dine at a
public restaurant. But. Barbara, | want
you to let the occasion be the announce
ment of our engagement.
But I'm not sure that l want it to be,
John.
Yes, you are. I'm not going to have
any more of this uncertainty. You be-
long to me, and you're going to marry
mel You fancy yourself interested in
that WindSOr-tied wandering minstrel
Lloyd; but you aren't. And the sooner
you come to me and get out from under
his romantic, sentimental influence, the
better for all concerned. So Ill call for
you tonight at seven O'Clock, and Ill
bring diamond ring that will settle the
matter once for all.
m not sure that | want to 90 out
to dinner with you, John Anyway, |
won't go with you unless | am going to
be engaged to you. But I'll let you know
Give me a few hours to decide At noon
if | conclude to go with you, Ill tele-
phone you. If don't telephone. You'll
know I'm not going to dine with you,
or marry you either"
What nonsense is thiS9 But YOU can't
scare me. All right, my lady, III wait
until noon, and I'm not at all afraid but
that l II hear the voice | love best in all
the world calling to me"
When Hollister had gone Barbara went
to her room and thought it all over
Then she went downstairs and talked to
her uncle. You see, Uncle Dan" she
said, Il was mistaken in thinking that
anyone man could have all the qualities
that go to make up perfection; for those
very qualities are contradictory. a man
with Roberts imagination couldn't have
the wonderful practical capabilities that
John has. And a man of Johns strong
character and unshakable opinions would
be incapable of Roberts lovely, gentle
disposition and amiable temper And so
it's only question of which | want most,
a stanch, faithful protector or a SYM
pathetic, congenial companion. | would
own Robert; but John would own me !;
and both those conditions are attractive -"
Il see it as you do, Barbara, and l
also see by your manner that you've
decided between them"
Il have, Uncle Dan, and though |
shall feel the need of the traits of the
other man, l mean to put him entirely
out of my mind and out of my life, and
be loving wife to my chosen husband"
Before | have nervous prostration,
Barbie, do tell me which one it IS"
Il won't tell you just this minute.

Railroaded to Asylum.

Last nights Telegram has the follow
ing story:
"Beware of your brother-in -in.law if he
is a preacher!"
This is the advice given by S. P.
Robinson, who was yesterday released
from the Crystal Spring Sanitarium at
Mount Tabor. Attorney W. A. Cleland
yesterday afternoon began habeas cor
pus proceedings before Presiding Judge
Sears for the release of Robinson from
the sanitarium. The petitioner is only
about 81 years old, and was sent from
Alaska last April as an insane prisoner.
At the hearing before Judge Sears,
Dr.. Robert L. Gillespie, manager of the
sanitarium, testified that tho young
man was not insane when he reached
this city from the north. and during
his stay here Robins was as sane as
could be.
Robinson declared that he was one of
the incorporators of a placer mining
company near Rampant, Alaska, his
brotherin'law, clergyman, being man
ager of the company. A disagreement
arose over the business management Of
theeompanyIand Robinson alleged that
his brotherin-law had him railroaded
to the asylum. The brother,in-law, he
says. secured several witnesses to go
before the United States commissioner
of the Third Alaska district, who is ex-
oficio probate judge. and swear that
Robinson was insane.
When the young man was brought
before the commissioner, he protested
that he was sane, but overwhelming
evidence was brought in. it is said, and
Robinson was sent to Portland with a
large number of insane prisoners from
the northern territory. He arrived here
last April. and has been confined to the
sanitarium since that time.
Robinson left this morning for his
home in Pennsylvania. 1t is said that
the mattea win be investigated.
