Notwithstanding that Urban Faber
pitched in four games against NC
Graw's team and got credit for winning
three of them, he fell seventeen innings
short of equaling the best iron man
performance for n world series. which
was made by Deacon PHILIPPE in 1908
in the clash of that year between the
Pittsburgh Nationals and Boston Amer
fcans, the Pirate star twirled forty
four rounds, while Faber worked only
twenty-seven against the Chants IN
their recent scramble with the w hlte
Sox.
DESPITE the boner Faber pulled in
stealing third with the base already
occupied by a clubmate, he richly de-
serves. and is being accorded, credit for
his feat of annexing three wins in the
IStNl anf
other pitchers can boast of. The half
dozen in question are Bill Dineen of
the Red SoN, now an umpire III the
American League, who took three from
Pittsburgh in 1908; PHILIPPE of the Pi-
rates, who won three in the same Sc
ries; Christy Mathewson of the Giants,
who annexed 4 trio. all of them shut
outs. from the Athletics in 1909; Babe
Adams of the Pirates. who took three
frsm Detroit in 1903: Jack Coombs of
the Athletics. who thrice was victor
ious over the Cubs in 1910, and Joe
Wood of the Red Sox, who subdued the
Giants three times III the series of 1912.
Phillipe's record for truck horse work
in world series is likely to stand for
some time, as of the eight games play
ed with the Red Sox in 1908 the Pirate
started and finished fve-the first,
third, fourth, seventh and eighth.
That the major league schedules next
season will call for 40 games instead
of 154. as has been the case for num-
Der of years, seems assured following
the announcement made yesterday in
st. Louis by President Johnson of the
American League that the season for
his circuit would open about April 27
or May l and close the middle of Sep
tember. The National League is. of
course, not bound TO follow the lead
of the American in regard to curtail
ing the season. but there is every rea-
son to believe il will do so, as at least
one of it's influential magnates. Garry

1t looks as If Gibson will take part
In many game this summer at the
Polo Grounds.
He is no longer slow and fat. He
is just at the weight he carried a few
years back when he did so much TO
win a pennant for the Pirates.
Conditions In Pittsburgh doubtless
had lot to do with the falling-off in
Gibson's work in 1915 and 1916. The
Pirates were bad club those years
and, without anything In particular to
spur him on, the veteran naturally fell
into careless ways.
Playing with New York, Gibson sees
chance to be with another pennant
winner. He was a great player just
a few years back. Naturally he would
not relish being merely coach of
pitchers on club that looms up as
one of the greatest machines the game
has known. Hence his regeneration.
The old adage that they never come
back in the world of sport holds good
over most of the trail. Now and then
there crops up an exception, just to
prove the sOundness of the rule. Such
an exception is George Gibson, old
George, catcher of the Giants.

'canarieS attempt is made to produce
males with clear, soft. pleasing songs
with long rolls or trills, and no atten-
ton whatever is paid to other charac-
teristics. These birds, therefore, are
usually nondescript as regards color
and appearance, but care is taken In
mating 60 secure males that are good
singers and females from good stock
The young birds when fledged are put
in rooms with birds noted for their soft
song. and here, through imitation, they
develop their own vocal powers. Care
full watch is kept over them, and any
bird developing harsh notes is removed
at once to prevent his corrupting the
purity OF tone in the song Of his broth
ers. A mechanical instrument known
as a bird organ, that produces liquid
trills, is frequently utilized in train
ing, usually when the adult birds are
silent during mott. Ordinarily the
room where these birds are kept is
darkened. and frequently the cages
containing the young birds are
screened with cloth to lessen tend
ency to Objectionable loudness of song
In six months or less, their education
completed, these songsters may be
sold or in their turn utilized In train

country.
In the great class OF exhibition birds
perhaps none Is more striking than the
Belgian canary. Formerly known as
the "king of the fancy" Il was reared
extensively In Belgium, but of late
years its popularity has been on the
decline. In 1911 it was said that few
purebred Belgians were to be found,
and under present war conditions it
may never recover it's own. The typi=
cal Belgian canary is large bird with
a small head long, slender neck, large
shoulders. and long, tapering body.
1t is primarily a bird of position
When examined it hops upon perch
and throwing it's shoulders up brings
the head down well below their level
The back and tail form perpendicu-
lar line and the feet are held close to-
gether.
Another bird of position is the

Villages of GaIicia Are
Picturesque in Appearance.

The villages of Galicia are especially
interesting on Sundays and holidays,
when the national costumes are
donned The cottages are generally
made of stone or boards plastered over,
and are then covered with coat OF
whitewash. The straw roof is frequent
ly crowded with green-growing moss,
which adds to its picturesque appear
ance, if not to its healthfulness. Water
is drawn from the wells by a long pole
balanced near the center. These wells
have a decided old-world appearance,
says the Christian Herald. The interior
of the cottages Is usually divided into
two rooms. In one room the entire
family live, eat and sleep; In the other

Around the cottages number of chill

them We're kept secret, but now they
are outlined in many manuals on ca
nary keeping.
A standard color food may be pre-
pared as follows: To the ordinary
egg food Zone hard-boiled egg chopped
fine with an equal bulk of bread
crumbs or unsalted cracker crumbs)
add teaspoonful of ground sweet red
pepper Mix until the food shows an
even reddish tint throughout. Each
bird TO be experimental upon should
receive one small teaSpoonful daily.
The quantity of pepper is increased
gradually, until two heaping teaspoon
fuls are used. Addition of little
brown sugar and a few drops of pure
olive oil is beneficial, and q small
quantity of hot red pepper gives bet
ter flavor. The food should be pre-
pared fresh each day. In mixing, al
lowance must be made for variation
in the size of eggs used. In color
feeding some canary breeders increase
the proportion of sweet red pepper I'M
til four teaspoonfuls are added TO the
usual quantity of egg food. Half a
teaspoonful of this concentrated food
is allowed each bird. This method
may be used during short, quick
mott.
Care of Feet and Bill.
As a canary grows old it will be
noticed that its claws get long and
catch on the perches and wires as it
hops about the cage. In a state of ma
ture the activities of the bird as it
moves about the ground or among
twigs and limbs keep the claws prop
erly worn down. Confined in a cage,
the canary is less active, and while
the rate of growth of the claws re-
mains the same they are subject to
much less abrasion. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to trim them with pair
of sharp scissors every few months.
1t is important to watch the condition

Dreaming With a Purpose
Is the Most Worth While
Of Youthful Occupations.

"Oh, he's only dreamer" This
some young man or woman whose
visions appear impossible to those who
consider themselves more practical.
Yet the progress of the world is only
the working out of the visions Of
dreamers. Joseph was called dream
er. His dreams were prophetic of the
service he was to render, not only to
his family, but to the civilization of his
day. But his brothers misunderstood
his dreams, perhaps understood as lit
tie as did he himself at the time, and
because they could not understand
they hated him for having dreams and
placed him in the way of realization by
attempting to get rid of him, says the
Christian Herald.
Dreaming Is the most worth while
of youthful occupations, if it is dream
Ing with purpose. Idle dreams that
carry no inspiration to action are
worse than useless. But dreams that
include purpose shape the destinies
of men and women. The young Gar
field, treading the tow-path, dreamed
of education and of leadership, and
attained both. In every school and coll
lege of the country young men and
women are held to their tasks by the
glorious vision of what they intend to
be and to do, and every year those
who have remained true to their visions
are making good in the pulpit and
press, In business and on the far-f1ung
battle line, where Christianity is writ
ing liberty and love into the constitu-
tons of ancient heathendoms.

Observation-Disclosures
War REEVES Old Trades.

One of the most interesting effects
of the war is the revival of various
old trades and industries, especially
in England. Charcoal burners are
busy making fuel for use in the
trenches; long-disused sawmills are
getting out timbers for dugouts; for
esters are making tent pegs; clog
makers are fashioning wooden shoes !;
owners of willow plantations are cut
ting osiers for fascines and shell bas-
kets; but most interesting Of all is the
revival of flint mapping, perhaps the
oldest industry in the world. 1t is
said that the flints are used to strike
a light in the trenches.-Youth's Com

brought into the United States during
the last ten years, an average of more
than 100000 birds each year. Most
of these have come from Germany, but
some are imported from England.
Canaries seem to thrive in any eli
mate where not exposed to too severe
weather conditions, and In spite of the
long period they have been protected
and held in captivity they are capable
of enduring a surprising degree of cold
when hardened to 1t. In England it is
not unusual to find them in outdoor
aviaries throughout the year They
seem able TO establish themselves
again in a wild state under favorable
I conditions. In 1909, brood of do
nestle canaries was released on Mid
way island, small sandy iset in the
Hawaiian group. BY 1914 they had in
creased until it was estimated that
they numbered about 1000.

is found in the Canary Islands with
