Canaries Are Hardy.

The canary is a very adaptable lit
tie bird, and their biographer says
that they seem to thrive in any climate
where not exposed to too severe wealth
er 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 1t is
not unusual to find them in outdoor
aviaries throughout the year. They
also seem, he says, to be able to re-
establish themselves In wild state I'M
der favorable conditions. In 1909 q
brood of domestic canaries was re-
leased on Midway island, a small,
sandy islet in the Hawaiian group.
By 1914 they had increased until it
was estimated that they numbered
about 1000.

Invented Graham Flour.

The use of Graham and whole wheat
bread has spread remarkably In the
last few years. The inventor of Ora
ham bread and flour was Rev. Sylves-
ter Graham, New England clergy
man, who died in Northampton, Muss.,
66 years ago, having devoted the
major part Of his life to the advocacy
Of a vegetarian dietetic theory. In
1889 he introduced Graham bread,
made of unsifted wheat -four, and
thereafter urged its use in books,
pamphlets and lectures. At first the
masses Of housewives turned a deaf
ear toward his arguments, but grad
ually Graham -four won its way and
became an established commercial
product.

MISSING VEST HUNG IN TREE
Farmers Raiment, Containing Money,
Disappeared From Bush-Crows
Blamed as Guilty Culprits.

Spooky things happen and some
times puzzle people. Occasionally they
can be accounted for, as In this case,
notes Copper's Magazine. One morn
Ing early In August Sayles Turner, an
Eastern farmer, went to work in his
hay field. AS the morning was warm,
Turner removed his vest and hung it
on a small bush. When he quit work
late In the afternoon he went for his
vest, but 1t was gone. In the pocket
Of the vest was $40 In bills. Turner
decided 1t had been stolen.
A few days ago Turner and his hired
man went to the woods, five miles
from his house, to cut wood. The first
tree cut was a large hemlock. On a
limb near the top of the tree they
saw an object fluttering in the breeze.
The tree was felled and the men went
TO the object. 1t was Turner's lost
vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollarsi
were in the vest pockets. The vest
was badly torn, which may account
for the missing dollar. Turner be-
lieves that crows carried the vest from
the hay field and deposited it in the
top of the tree.

EXCITEMENT ON THE BOWERY
Hubbub Caused by Cry Of "stop
Tlie" on New York's Noted High
way FrIghtens Habitues.

A thief chase on the Bowery was q
daily occurrence when that famous
song was popular. Then the dips and
others who infested that thoroughfare
would hold up any passerby who they
thought had anything that looked like
money concealed on his person. But
the light-fngered gentry and strong
armed fellows have found other fields
more lucrative, according to a New
York correspondent Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
The big street is now the stamping
grounds of weary Willies" and buns
whose only vocation is to panhandle
the price Of a drink. So one day re-
Gently, when the old familiar cry of
stop thief" was heard the Bowery
was almost paralyzed; everybody
stood still and watched for the culprit.
Soon they saw a tall, lean and hungry
looking youth darting under the ele-
waited pillars, but they made no effort
to catch him. When the cops arrived
on the scene the man had disappeared.
"Where did he go?" beloved one with
a club, who held it threateningly over
several men who stood in a doorway.
did you see that guy running this
way? Where did he go? Come on,
now" But no one had seen the thief. |
While the cops were making their
search apathetic, cringing men came |
from the different doorways to learn
what the excitement was all about. |
MY God" remarked one frowsy look
ing individual, as the cops departed,
Il was scared 1t was some guy offering
4 job" And appreciative chuckles
went up along the line.

The Lean of the Black Bass.

The leap of the black bass is always
directly upward when hooked, and he
generally falls tail first Into the water.
At times, however, this fish, like the
trout, will rise vigorously to the fly
and, missing it, will make a graceful
curve In the air ere he goes quietly
head down back to his element. But
as a rule the bass rises fiercely to the
fly with an accurate aim, and goes
instantly to his lair.-All Outdoors.

Since Monday week ago, when the
great French offensive began, Gen.
NiveIIe's forces have accomplished
this:
Capture of more than 100 guns. go
Taking of 10000 German prison

Occupation of 20 large villages
not including hamlets.
Retaking of about so square miles
of French territory.
Inflicted losses in killed, wounded
and missing on Germans cOnseTva-

Two great battles were raging to-
day. One is along Chemin Des
Dames-"the Ladies' ROad" -dOmi-
mating Laon and plateau; other
around MorOnvilIers heights, dOmi-
mating northern Champagne plains.
Although French attacks are
against two strongest positions held
by Germans on entire western front,
Gen. Nfveue's men have already won
strong fOOthOlds.
Fighting which was in progress to-
day supersedes in Importance any
actions on entire western front. At
any moment newer and more I'M
