MAYOR OF BIRD LAND.
How the Beautiful Lizard Canary Got
It's Unique Name.

ne lizard canary il one of the most
unique varieties IN the cage bird word
Its beautiful ground color. 50 nicely
licked. and pretty little cap make il
IA thing Of beauty and joy forever
1t is. however. the only variety that
mouths out its plumage at the end Of
the first season. BY this it is meant
that. although the bird possesses 50
beautiful coat for the first year. the
plumage disappears altogether at the
second moult.
Thus it is IA show bird for only one
i. e.. the tirst-season. and this is con-
sidered a drawback TO its popularity
On account of its wearing such gay
apparel for one year and then putting
it aside the lizard has been aptly term
ed mayor of Birdie Land"
The little story connected with the
lizard and mayor is well worth re-
peating 1t was at well known cage
bird show being opened by Sir William
Treloar, then lord mayor of London.
that this celebrity in few well chosen
words ikened himself unto the lizard
canary, many grand specimens Of
which We're on view at the show. The
stately robes he then wore were only
for season. Such is the case with
the lizard,-BostOn Herald.

A CREDIT TO VERGENNES.

Vegennes did itself the highest credit
In the planning and carrying out the
Macdonough Centennial celebration, and
each and every one of its people is to be
congratulated, while too high praise can
hardly be given the able and public
spirited citizens who held the laboring
oar. The Rutland Herald well says:
"Vergennes, the ancient city, did
herself proud in honoring the glorious
memory of Thomas Marlborough, of
whom Joseph A. DeBoer said happily:
Perhaps in the history of naval war
fare the power Of single personality
was never more triumphantly exhibited
than it was by Commodore Macdonough
in Pittsburgh Bay. He might have
added, truthfully, that perhaps never
before has small city, limited in re-
sources and capacity, done better with
big, striking and notable event than
Vergennes with the Macdonough cele-
bration.
Speaking of the addresses, the secre-
tary of the navy had a splendid theme
in the achievements of our Vermont
sailors, Dewey and Clark, and he added
a high but well deserved tribute to our
Burlington contribution to naval his
tory, Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo. -

MendeIssohn Surprised Them.

The church of st. Johns. Waterloo
road, has an interesting association
with Mendelssohn. The late r. j.
Horsley, r, A, tells in his reminis-
cences how the great musician. while
staying with a friend on Denmark
hill-in the house where he wrote the
Spring SOng"-was induced to go to
St Johns one Sunday morning and
give a recital on the organ. On reach
ing the organ loft Mendelssohn was
annoyed to find himself exposed TO the
full view Of the congregation and
vented his displeasure in thunderOus
improvisation which greatly startled
the worshipers, used as they were to
the "subdued' music then in vogue
Not being in the secret. they were
still further surprised when the music
ceased and the eccentric performer
sprang up, clapped on his hat and
abruptly left the building.-Westmin-
ster Gazette.

211iooleburY Register

The smothering to death of six chill
dren in their sandbank playground at
Schenectady, n Y, is a terrible lesson
to parents to restrict the amusement
activities of their children to some less
dangerous localities. 1t is nothing short
of inviting disaster to permit little
chilrdi en- to play in high bank of sand
or clay, as the inevitable inclination of
the youngsters is toward building a tun-
mel into which they must need wriggle
their little bodies, an action followed in
many cases by the caving in of the
bank and the smothering of the chill
dren. The Schenectady affair carries
its lessons for all parents and guardians.

MADE THE REPORTER BLUSH
When the House OF Lords Adjourned
at His Suggestion.


There is a good Fleet street story,
says a writer in the London Daily Citi-
zen, of how reporter once adjourned
the house of lords. He had work ed in
the gallery Of the house Of lords fol
about quarter OF a century, and il
may be that familiarity had dimmed
his sense of reverence. One day there
had been stodgy little debate with a
dozen members in the house. and the
reporter. with his colleagues perched
in the gallery. was thoroughly sick CT
the whole business. His feelings found
outlet in q muttered remark as some
noble lord on the cross benches rose to
continue the debate.
why don't you move the adjourn
ment?" said the reporter to himself
He said it louder than he intended.
and the words reached the noble lord
who had just risen. He on his part
believed the words to be private hint
addressed to him from the lord chan
cellor, and, feeling that he could not
disregard the suggestion. he said. My
lords. | move the adjournment of the
debate"
Instantly the lord chancellor was on
his feet from the wOuSack and their
lordships house rose for the day.
Hardened as was the reporter, il is
stated that as he went out he was
blushing at his achievement
