Gay With FIuttering Flags.
Not Les Angeles alone, but Long
beach. San Pedro, Redondo, Venice,
Ocean park and Santa Monica are gay
with tiuttering flags and festOoned with
lights That will flash their individual
welcomes each evening. By common
consent the American flag has been
chosen as the most appropriate feat
ure of civic adornment, and in this
city the principal streets are overhung
and the buildings almost hidden from
view by enormous banners.
Saturday a hundred thousand peo-
pie were estimated to be scattered all
along the beaches and bluffs of forty
miles of coast, stretching from well
below the Santa Anna county line to
the north shore Of San Pedro bay,
where the fleet dropped anchor.

be five days of ceaseless activity for
the officers and men of the fleet and
for the thousands of people in Los
Angeles and adjoining cities who are
engaged in their entertainment.
Shore Leave Each Day.
On each day shore leave will be
granted to $500 enlisted men, for
whom special entertainments, slightly
varied on each day, viii be provided.
The boxers of the Atlantic fleet
will settle the championships in all
classes; a wild west show with cow
boys imported from Arizona will be
repeated; and in addition there will
be barbecues, concerts and dances
for the sailors, all of whom will be
carried from the beaches to the city
and back to the ships without charge.
Grand Ball Wednesday.

planned among the officers will be a
banquet at the Hotel Alexandria on
Monday evening; an automobile pa
rade through the city for the admirals

CARE OF CANARIES.
How to Feed and Keep Them In q
Healthy Condition.

How to Feed and Keep Them In q
Healthy Condition.
Do not expect canary to sing while
noting The growth of his fine new
coat requires all the surplus vitality
of the small body.
Feed him literally with some good
prepared food, keep him clean and
quiet, and nature will do the rest, says
the New York Globe. For steady feed
ing give mixed seed, two parts rape to
one of canary.
Give a little fresh lettuce or celery
every day and a bit of apple three
times a week.
Wash the cage floor and bath every
morning. Put in fresh gravel three
times a week. Use the regular bird
gravel II you can get 1t. If not, clean,
sharp river gravel will do.
Once a week give a feed Of hard
boiled egg, taking care that it does not
remain in the cage more than one day.
In place Of 1t piece Of bread soaked
in milk and then squeezed almost dry
may be substituted. A cleft of pepper
pod hung by the side OF the cage is
also very good for both appetite and
digestion.
Keep the bird away from drafts.
They are almost as deadly as cats.
Sunshine is an excellent thing, but tt
must not beat too long or too directly
upon his feathered cap. Never leaQa
him overnight up toward the top OF
the room in which gas jets have been
burning. Hot foul air always ascends
and will make short work Of him.
In cold weather give him bath
every other day. With the right kind
OF gravel cuttlefish bone Is not abso-
lutely necessary. 1t is very wen to
keep a bit within reach. Take care
that nothing edible corrodes the wires.
yerdigris Is the result, potent poi
son.
Next to drafts and improper feeding
vermin are the roots of all the Ills bird
flesh is heir TO. Prevention Is the best
cure. IL you have reason to suspect
them, take your bird out Of the cage
wash and scald the cage thoroughly,
then oil the top of the birds head with
sweet oil or good fresh lard.
If your bird droops and lacks app4-
tite. put a rusty nail into his drinking
fountain and mix a little coarsely
powdered charcoal with his gravel on
the floor.

How to Care For the piano

A piano is as sensitive to cold and
heat as an invalid, SO it must not be
put too near a fire or the wood is
drawn by the heat. Never leave it near
an open window if it is raining or this
will rust the wires and mold the in
side. Such an instrument should not
be put too close to a wall or the sound
will be deadened, and it should be kept
closed when not in use. The keys
should be busted daily with an old silk
handkerchief. If they become yellow
from neglect rub them with lemon
juice and a little whiting. Do not let
the dust fall between the keys.
