The Care of Bird Cages.

Those who own canaries will be inter- ested to know what a noted specialist on such subjects says of the care necessary for these little feathered pets, particular ly at this season of the year.
 Many of the birds suffer terribly from rheumatism, which is caused by standing on wet perches. This specialist further observes that thls is largely due to the carelessness of those who clean cages.
 Women will wash out cage and neg feet to thoroughly dry It. The perch is left damp, and the bird, standing on it, at once takes on rheumatism, which spreads through the body.
 A little inflammation starts in the feet, and this is apt to result in a tiny abscess which is torture to the bird.
 The specialist tells women that the perches should be seraped and then rubbed with a dry cloth instead of be- ing washed each time. If they are washed they should be dried thoroughly before being put back in the cage.

RESULT OF CONFERENCE.
German Government Cannot Adhere
 To Balkan Proposals.

/ Berlin, October 26.--A serni-official news agency summarizes the results of the conferences which have been going on between M. Iswolsky, the Russian foreign minister, and Prince Von Bue- low, the imperial chancellor, and Herr Won Schoen, German secretary for for- eign affairs, as follows:
 'The German government has no objec- tions in principle to the proposed inter- national congress to discuss the Balkan situation. The German and Russian gov ernments recognize the fact that a con ference of the powers can only prove useful if complete agreement among all the signatories of the Berlin treaty, regarding the scope and contents of the programme to be suggested to the conference be attained beforehand. The German government adheres to the stand point that it will be unable to accept the proposals to which Austria-Hungary recommended objections These conten- tions will be subjected to further nego- tiations.

Icing for Cake.

There is nothing which requires more skill in the culinary line than the mal1- ing of good icing. To do 1t properly and have it look smooth and pretty requires little time and patience and the fol- lowing good recipes:
 Soft Icing-Ten teaspoonfuls of sugar to one egg; beat 20 minutes.t Flavor with Extract of Rose.
 Almond Icing-Three cups of sugar. one pound of almonds, blanched and pounded to a paste; beat the whites of three eggs, and stir in the sugar and almonds. Flavor with Extract of Rose.
 Water Icing-Two cups of sugar, water enough ato make a thick paste small pinch of cream of tartar Beat well; if not stiff enough add more sugar. Flavor with one-half teaspoonful of Extract of Peach.
 Chocolate Icing-Meit three ounces of chocolate in little water, boil in two cups of sugar. stir in the whites of three well-beaten eggs. Flavor with Extract of Vanilla.
 Boiled Frosting-One pint of granulated sugar with enough water to dissolve it. Let 1t boil until it threads from the spoon. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff and pour the boiling sugar into 1t. beat ing all the time.
 Cream Frosting-Take the whites of two eggs, add an equal measure of cold water, stir into this confectionery sugar until of the right consistency to spread. Flavor with one-half teaspoonful of Extract of Vanilla.

Fleur-de-lis Buttonholes.

The entire gamut of shape has been run by the numerous vanities of button holes, which the popular mode of trim mings demands this season. Ornamental button holes require as much skill as the most intricate French embroidery. The latest style button hole is the fieur-de- lis which is put on dressy frocks whether they are made in blouse or coat suits.
 The shape is quite attractive and adds a striking finish to an otherwise plain costume. Care must be taken not to dab many on injudiciously. for the tendency today is to overtrim.

should be kept removed and the strong est ones allowed plenty of space. Dwarf plants of this class may be allowed to grow more freely; but the shoots must be kept thinned in order that they may become thoroughly ripened.
 Badly-ripened wood never bears good flowers; it should, therefore, in pruning, be removed first, and afterward other shoots which are misplaced or tend to cross each other and destroy the form and symmetry of the plants.
 Hybrid perpetuals may be cut back to from four to eight eyes, according to their vigor and habit. Teas, in the open air, with a few exceptions, seldom grow very vigorously, and a thinning and slight shortening of the shoots are often all they need. Hardy pillar and climbing roses may have their lateral growths shortened back after towering; this admits light and air to the others left. and but little further pruning will be necessary in the spring. If more vigorous shoots are re- ouired than those which develop, hard pruning to two or three eyes will cause their production. The amount of prun- ing which roses need, and the time and manner of performing the operation, are subjects very widely discussed, and upon which much difference exists The prin-

Folds of silk are laced and interlaced in exact sailor fashion into the large soft balls which end the streamerS.
