 It isn't so hard for wife to be good natured when she hasn't anything else to do.
 And if a woman had to wear an arti- ficial leg she would be mighty sensitive about it's shape
 This would be a great world if man would love his friends with as much enthusiasm as he hates hise nemies. Every man can think of a whole lot of things that he can't express.
 Why do the women look so happy and the men look so cross at wedding? You can't make a good housekeeper believe that the kitchen of a restau- rant isn't over-run with reaches.

 Almost every married man and married woman could sue what they are married to for breach of promise.

 An idea of the fortunes in fish at door may be gleaned by comparing the possibilities shown by prospecting the halibut banks off this port with the report of the Gloucester aDily Times of date on the haibut catches at that port and Boston The Times of the issue hand tells of the ar rival of the schooner Cavalier from the Banks after surviving terrible storm with pounds fish of which only 10000 pounds were halibut and this after a weeks cruise
 In the next column it gives the catches of twelve beam trawlers and schooners arriving at Boston and says that in all over 10000 pounds of fresh halbut brought in
 And off Seward it is not uncommon for the trawlers from Seattle to sail away with 150000 pounds of halibut the result of eight days fishing
 The catches of the eastern fishermen made up for the most part of haddock, cod. cusk and scrod
 Outside this port the cod swim in perfect safety for fishes for them in spite of the fact that the fish bringing from five dollars fifty cents eight dollars per hundred pounds in the Bos- markets.
 And in the face of this there are some folks around here who things awful uuie' and there doesn't seem to be much doing from which is apparent that they not doing much either themselves the town.

WAR RAISES CANARY PRICES
many Has Had Big Effect on
Trade in Songsters.

Canaries are not chipping as cheaply
as they did before the war. Musical
twittering, like everything else, has
assembled. The war, of course, is to
blame. Before the struggle started ten
or twelve thousand canaries were inn
ported every week from Germany
A good feathered songster could be
bought at from $3.50 to Sc. The Ger
mans had almost monopoly on the
business. American bird dealers and
fanciers did not have very good luck
raising canaries, and it was the nat
ural and easy thing to import them.
The British blockade stopped the
supply suddenly. The birds on hand
were sold before the dealers had time
to realize what WIS happening. Amer
leans were unable to raise canaries in
anything like the numbers they We're
accustomed to importing, although the
native supply was increased somewhat.
Still, it was far short of the demand
and the prices started upward.
Today canaries sell at from So to
SIS and even higher. AS one dealer
says, "a canary is worth whatever you
can get for him today. There is no
set price In time we might be able
to furnish our own birds, but it takes
experience, and the Germans have had
years of advantage"

FOOD PREJUDICE is COSTLY
Learn to Know All the Good Things to
Eat, Notna Few Only, Urge Gov
eminent Experts.

Don't be finfcky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and nour-
fishing foods widely used and enjoyed
in one section are practically unknown
in other sections of the country. Learn
to know all the good things, not a few
only, urge government food experts.
People too easily get into food ruts !;
insist on eating only the food they
are used to, and refuse to give fair
trial to others. This causes undue de-
mand for certain staples, with result
ing scarcity or high prices when crops
are short. At the same time other
valuable foods may be relatively cheap
and available. A striking instance of
this is failure fully to appreciate rice
"a valuable source of starch-when
potatoes are scarce and high. Another
example is refusal in certain sections
to use anything but wheat as bread
stuff, when corn-a valuable cereal
widely used elsewhere as breadstuff
lis plentiful and relatively cheap.

outcast Amonu Birds.

There is one bird which will not take
advantage of bird houses. This is the
American cowbird, which is something
of an outcast among the feathered
tribe. This bird never has a nest of
its own, even of the most humble char
acter, and she studiously shuns all
the worries of parenthood by deposit
ing her eggs in the convenient nest OF
any other bird. There they are Matched
along with the natural owners of the
bird home, and demand in many cases
the lions share of attention, as they
are large, strong birds. and frequently
outgrow the foster mother not only In
size, but in her ability to feed her
overgrown fledgelings, and it is no I'M
common sight to see weary and be-
draggled song sparrow in June striv-
