HOW TO MANICURE cANARIEs.

As a canary grows old it will be

hops about the cage. In state of ma

moves about on the ground or among
twigs and limbs keeps the claws prop

the birds claws become entirely too
long.
1t is necessary therefore to trim
them with a pair of sharp scissors
every 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 vessels extends well down to-
ward the tip. This may be seen on
close examination through the
transparent sheath of the claw. In
trimming cut we'll beyond this canal
and take special 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

SD FLOOR TOO HIGH FOR HIM
Business Man Affected by Dizzy Alti-
tude Pays $1,000 to Move
Down.

Because the president of large
company, whose headquarters are
maintained in a skyscraper down
town, is subject to dizziness the COM
pany has just paid a bill OF approxi-
mately $1,000, representing the ex-
pense of moving from the fourth to
the thirty-second floor of the build
ing and back again to the fourth.
The company has grown like
healthy young weed in the last year,
and on the first of the month it was
decided to move into new. larger and
more commodious quarters. These
were found by the vice president of
the company, and the moving was &C
complished while the president was
out of the city on a tour of inspec-
ton. .a,-.. q 49,.
He returned one afternoon, strolled
into the handsomely furnished Office
which had been prepared for him by
the officers of the company and
walked quickly out again.
Not for me-" he told everybody
within earshot, suddenly and loudly.
"The first thing | know the police de-
partment would be picking me up on
shovel underneath that window. I've
been light-headed since the year one,
and while it may be form of insan-
ity or constitutional weakness, the
fact remains that the horrible dis
lance from that window to the street
below fascinates me, and sooner or
later l would step right over and
out"
1t was suggested that bars be put
over the windows or that an inside
office be assigned to the president.
None Of the suggestions suited, how
ever, and since the old Offices re-
NAMED vacant and additional space
could be procured on that floor the
move back was made. So the COM
pany's profit and loss ledger con-
tains the notation: ITO moving,

GHOSTLY TREAD OF MOOSE
Taller Than An Ordinary Horse, He
Moves Silently Through
EoreStc

FOIGStS.
Although taller than an ordinary
horse, weighing more than half a
ton, and adorned with widespread
ing antlers, the bull moose stalks
with ghostly silence through thickest
forests, where man can scarcely move
without being betrayed by the loud
cracking of dry twigs. In summer
it loves low-lying, swampy forests in
terspersed with shallow lakes and
sluggish streams. In such places it
often wades up to its neck in lake
to feed on suceulent water plants, and
when reaching to the bottom becomes
entirely submerged. These visits to
the water are sometimes by day, but
usually at night, especially during the
season when the calves are young and
the horns of the bulls are but partly
grown.
Late in the fall, with full-grown
antlers, the bulls wander through the
forest looking for their mates, at
times uttering far-reaching calls of
defiance to all rivals and occasionally
clashing their horns against the sap
lings in exuberance of masterful Vi
gor. Other bulls at times accept the
challenge and hasten to meet the rival
for a battle royal. At this season the
call of the COW moose also brings
the nearest bulls quickly to her side.
Hunters take advantage of this, and
by initiating the call through a birch
bark trumpet bring the most agrees
sive bulls to their dom.-National
Geographic Magazine.

She rushes upstairs. The butler fol-

the butler overtakes Beverly, covers
her head with cloth and despite her

the powerful butler leaps upon him

found no papers on him. But while
he is in the act of telling Zulph what
he has done, Strong RECEIVERS and
stealing up behind him, grips him by
the throat.
Another fierce struggle ensues, but
this time Strong conquers and the
butler is knocked to the floor. Strong
at once notifies Rodman Sears of the
new treachery, asks him, to come
right over, and starts upstairs for
Beverly. He hears her cries and
releases her from the room in which
she is locked. But just then the thugs
whom Zulph has hired gain entrance
to the house. Strong hears them and
starts down stairs. The thugs meet
him half way and there is tremend-
Gus hand to hand fight. Strong hopes
to hold them at bay until help ar
rives. After knocking his assailants
down several times he again rushes
upstairs, fearing for Beverly's safety.

SLOAN WILL PUSH
PARCEL POST CHANGE
Fourth Nebraska Congressman
Shows Injustice in Pro-

tFrom a Staff Correspondent

Washington, May ESPECIAL Tel
egram. )-Representative Sloan during
the discussion of the war revenue
measure pending before the ways and
means committee surprised his col
leagues yesterday by presenting new
schedule On second class postage mat
ter that made the entire committee
take notice.
AS a member of the ways and
means committee Mr.. Sloan knew
nothing of the WORK of the subcom-
mittee until a tentative bill was re-
ported to raise additional revenue. He
bided his time unit! the bill was
agreed upon by the subcommittee, was
presented to the whole committee and
then he presented his objections and
amendments to the bill.
The subcommittee recommended a
zone system for second class mail
matter, with 2 cents a pound a. the
basis for the first parcel post fifty
mile zone and increasing the rate to
3 cents for 800 miles in the second
zone, then cents for 1000 miles, 5
cents for 1900 miles and E cents be-
yond that distance.
Mr.. Sloan's amendment provides |
cent up to fifty miles as the basis for
the first zone, cents for 300 miles,
3 cents for 1000 miles, 4 cents for
1900 miles and beyond that distance
5 cents.
The committees rates for the first
and second mail zones compared with
parcel post rates for various weights
show an average relative high rate,
while beyond the second mail zone it
shows relatively small as compared
with the parcel post.
Schedule Unfair, Says Sloan.
Mr.. Sloan showed that the rates
proposed by the subcommittee were
unfair to the daily farm and trade
papers of Nebraska and other states
OF the middle west. y
If the full committee does not
amend this bill as presented by the
subcommittee Mr.. Sloan will carl.
the matter to the floor of the house.
Neither the tentative bill which is now
before the, full committee on ways and
means nor Mr.. Sloan's amendment
contemplates anyl change in existing
regulations as to country newspapers
