Be Prepared to Meet Trouble.

There is a serious side to life as well
as a carefree one. The average mother
should remember this and should i'm
press upon her family the wisdom Of
being prepared TO meet whatever trou-
BILE comes into the home.
Everyone has his or her burdens to
bear, and the old-fashioned habit of
coming forward and making collections
for persons in trouble isn't in vogue
these days. 1t is a good thing, too, that
times have changed, for no one need be
dependent upon public or private char
ity If he or she looks ahead, acknowl-
edges his or her responsibilities and
uses the proper means to meet them.
AS a rule it is always the ~extravagant
and unsystematic person who has to
call for aid but the woman who looks
at life from a business standpoint
who ssumes her responsibilities
always independent and never finds it
necessary to seek assistance from
others.

HOW TO MANICURE CANARY
1t Is q Job That Must Be Done, But
Extreme Care Should Always
Be Used.

As a canary grows old, 1t will be no.
ticed that its claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires as 1t hops
about the cage. In a state of nature
the activity of the bird as 1t moves
about on the ground or among twigs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined In a cage, the
birds claws become entirely too long.
1t Is necessary, therefore, to trim
them with a pair of sharp scissors ev-
cry few months. 1t Is important to
watch the condition of the claws care
fully, as by catching they may cause
a broken leg. In each claw a slender
blood vessel extends well down toward
the tip. This may be seen OF close
examination through the transparent
sheath of the claw. In trimming cut
well beyond this canal and take spe-
cial care not to break the leg while
handling the bird.
In cage birds the horny covering of
the bill, as well as the claws, some
times becomes distorted through
growth without sufficient wear. The
tips of the mandibles may be pared
down with a sharp knife, but care
must be taken not to cut deep enough
to reach the quick.

FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES
His Wife Tells How She Has Lived
for Many Years Without Modern
Conveniences.

In the American Magazine a farm
er's wife tells of some of her expert
ences. She says:
My husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were luxuries a generation
ago are necessities now. One of my
children died Of typhoid fever, the
germs Of which were, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't a screen door in the house, and
only a few cheap adjustable screens
"We sleep on feather beds, because
mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were In the house-a part of the
furnishings that / married, when / took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, worn
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outlived
their usefulness.
THE house is inconvenient, and for
that reason alone h~ousework Is much
harder than it ought to be. and house
work Is hard enough in all conscience
on a farm. We have no water In the
house. For % years l have fetched
and carried water. There are two
steps between the kitchen and the din
Ing room, which, by the way, was for
merly a bedroom and has no place for
a stove. The 'parlor' Is across a hall
from the main part of the house and Is
only opened ON special occasions"

Owl Not Really Wise Bird.

Since 1t has been recognized that
the owl is a beneficial bird, econom-
ically important as a destroyer of
rats. mice and gophers, there is an
increasing tendency to restore Its
classic significance. Like many peo-
pie of deliberate manner and few
words, owls are not as wise as they
look. They are quite easily caught
in traps. In case the barn in which
the owls make their home catches fire
the owls usually burn to death. They
get along very well in captivity when
they are comfortably housed and fed
either mice or a variety of food, but
they cannot live on a diet of raw pork
or beef.

Syriac is one of the three groups of
languages into which the old Aramaic
of Assyria and Babylonia vas devel-
oped, the other groups being the Chal-
dale and the Mathematician.
The Syriac is emphatically a Chris
tian literature language, the Bible was
translated into 1t as was a deal of
writing from the fourth to the tenth
century, and it, instead of Latin, is the
liturgical language of the Roman Cath
olics of Lebanon in Syria today.
The Syro-Chaldaic is a variant of
the Syriac, combining features of both
the Syriac and Chaldaic groups. 1t is
found In use in Kurdissan and the Lake
Urmia districts.

Air Resistance In Tunnels.

When a train goes through a tun-
mel the resistance of the air is an i'm
portant factor, experiments having
demonstrated that 1t measures 1886
pounds per ton Of train weight in the
Simplon tunnel, as against only S.S
pounds in the open air, a difference of
over so per cent. This is when the
train is running at 81 miles an hour
in the direction of the ventilating air
current; when running in the opposite
direction the resistance increases to
20.46 pounds.

One day when riding in the country
with their parents the children were
obliged to sit in the back of the bug
gy. 1t was quite comfortable If they
sat still, but a trifle small for much
turning about, so there were numerous
cautions to be careful not to fall out.
When little brother was observed gaz-

use, 1878.
Can there be any question that the
work Of the local agent is limited mere
ly to helping the farmer grow more
crops SO that he can secure more mon.
ey to raise more crops? We think not.
That increased earning power is an
important and basal factor must be
evident to the careful observer of ru-

a worthy goal for the hardworking
farmer and his family is recognized by
those who are engaged in carrying to
