4 s.lotboIink VIII : Canary Song.

4 a BoboIink with . Canary Song.
A friend Of mine tells Of a bobolink
which learned to sing like a canary.
He was captured when quite small
and given d cage beside a fine singer,
for which be: soon exhibited q great
attachment. He would. sit perfectly
still on his perch for a long time
watching his friend intently, thenitry
his best to initiate his sweet notes. He
tried for three or four weeks before
making any progress; then he succeed
ed in sounding n note almost cor.
rectly. When he realized his success
his wild Joy was pathetic. and the
canary's pleasure was very evident.
Then he r%edoubled his efforts until he
could sing nearly the whole canary
song. After that he and Dick always
sang in concert. But, strangest Of all,
his character seemed to change with
his song. Instead Of singing but q
short time in the spring, as bobolinks
do, he sang all the time except when
melting. And he initiated his friends
characteristics so perfectly that he be-
came a canary in all but appearance

A Chinese Superstition.

Fengshui is the Chinese superstition
that determines good site or locality,
and If a town on the Yangtze has not
a good fengshui trade will not come to
it, and it win be ruined. A town
named Peishih had its pagoda in the
wrong place-not far enough down the
river-and the result was that all traf-
fc which should have come to it was
swept past, Peishih being left out In
the cold. The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that Of a bad fengshui.
The city Of Wanshein, on the other
hand, has a perfect fengshui, two fine
pagodas, and is very prosperous. But
the fact that Wanshein is situated in
a fertile valley, where wheat, barley
and the poppy flourish abundantly,
while Peishih is barren and miserable,
does not concern the Inhabitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea in the Chinese mind is
only n of thousands like 1t.
