Young bird* will never sing the. song peculiar to their tribe if they have never heard it; but if associated ? with'sqme other bird, will learn ..its song .instead. A redstart once built its nesff under the eaves of a house where a caged " chaffinch hungin a window underneath. - - ?The^redstart learned the chaffinch's song. Another redstart learned was npticed to repeat the notes of a blackcap *cn had its nest close by. The winchst and wheatear have natu? rally but little variety of notes, but will ; become much better songsters if confined with other birds, and the bullfinch can be taught to- whistle complete tun es, although its own natural notes are harsh and, insignificant. On the other hand, the nightingale in confine , wiU sometimes exchange '-its own beautiful song !' for that of some other birdthat it may hear. The Hon. Deines : -^urrfngton says that' he saw a linnet ? which had been taken from the' neat when only ? two or. thjee days old,. and| which, not having any other squndajoj ; Imitote, almost learned to i could repeat ths words "pi some other short aentenc tod nestling linnets under the ? singing larks?the Biylark, woodlark and titlark?every one of which, instead of thelinnet's song, adhered entirely to that of their respective inatractors. the note'of the titlark was thor fixed, he hung the linnet, which learned it, in a room for three with two common linnets which Jwsre in full song. The educated linnet, -however, never borrowed any. passage from the other linnets, but adhered steadfastly to that of the titlark which it hid learned. AtKnighton, in Radnorshire, be saw a goldfinch which sung exactly like a wren, and uttered no proper note of its species. This bird had been taken from the nest when it was two days old, and was hang in a window opposite a small ff^ garden, where it had, no doubt, heard and y~i learned the wren's song, having theop l. ?-. portunity to learn that of the goldfinch. 7 : Birds taken from the nest two or three i: weeks old have already learned the call ^i-?otes-of their, species.

At this season of the year the annoyance caused to animals by flies and mosquitoes often amounts to positive agony, and at all-times in what is called good corn weather, it is sufficient to prevent the stock eating enough to keep them in good condition. The animals will stand in the water or pass the greater part of the day in the shade, rather, than expose themselves to the sunshine, going out to eat only when driven by hunger. They quickly lose flesh, the flow of milk shrinks, and a^oar is'incurred' that tjann?t be" easily": made good again. At all time3 a good feed of grain] istbej^nmal^o stock, ^but' it is especially: so vd&Sm^e&?je annoying, since it will do much to prevent shrinkage j of flesh and milk. Horses and milch cows may be protected, in a great meas? ure at least, by wiping them all over .with a sponge dipped in soap suds in which a .little j carbolic'? acid', has been mixed. Bulls confined -in stables often suffer enough for the attacks of flies to drive them half mad,-and there is no doubt thatlhe continued fretting caused in this j way develops a savage disposition. The most satisfactory results have followed from sponging with soap suds and carbol lie acid mixed a Jersey bull confined in a J stall.' Worrying the Cow. When Henry Wardi^Beecher was a youDg man he lived on a farm in the jatskirts of the city. Fences were poor straying cattle often gave the family ich annoyance, hie day Heuisjr, to his immense dis '^gust, found a'cow quietly resting in the middle of the barn-floor. With the accumulated indignation aroused by numerous chases which these poachers of the highway had led him by many tramplings across flower-beds and destruction of garden vegetables, he drove her out and chased her down the street. Coming in hot and tired from his run, he threw himself on the sofa, saying, "There, I guess I've taught one old cow to know where she belongs." "What do you mean?" said bis father, looking up apprehensivoly from his paper. "Why, I found another cow in the barn, and I have turned her out and chased her clear down the street, and I think she will stay, away now." "Well,'' said Dr. Beecber, "you have done it. I have just bought that cow, and I bad to wade the Ohio Biver twice to get her home; and, after I have got her safely into the barn, you have turned her out. Yon have done it now, and no mistake.

After having resolved to fulfill the highest possibilities of our nature, the wisest course lies in attempt ing to reach the mental and physical condition which render noble living pos? sible. A serene old lady, whose daily living was like 'noble music, was once asked by a moody young girl now she could exer? cise Self Command without one apparent failure. "My dear," said she, "the first secret of decent living is in the help and support we receive from above; the second lies in taking care of ourselves. When I find that I am more than usually sensitive to the worries of life, I take half an hour alone and read a pleasant book or eren take a nap. If tbe chariot wheels jar in gates, I say to myself, 'Come, come, Mar? tha I We must stop to oil up!' "When I was a girl, I had a quarrel with my best friend, and all because I had been up. half the night before, and didn't know enough to take a nap before finding fault with her!" "But I should grow selfish if I watched my moods'in that way," said her little friend, discouraged. "Oh, bless, you, it must be done with discretion! Begard your mind and body as delicate and^jwmplipated machines 'Which must be kept in order. You would't expect your watch to keep time if a breadcrumb had lodged among the wheels; why should you demand gentle? ness and patience of this human mechan? ism if you don't exert yourself to see that it is kept in repair?

How to Train a Canary Bird. -, . ?? . ? ?? Did you ever try to tame a canary bird and teach it simple tricks, such as perch? ing on your finger or taking seed from your palm? If you possess a bird suppose you make the attempt. If you are very gentle and patient and the bird is yonng ybu will succeed. Golden Day giveB the following advice on tbe subject: > 4 Place the cage on a table near you' af? ter a little conference with tbe bird in? troduce a finger between tbe wire, near the - favorite perch, holding it there patiently, yourself occupied with book or paper the while. Presently, as it shows no disposition to harm him, he cautiously goes up to examine it. Then he pecks to ascertain its quality ; maybe he fights it.' Tbat?sVM^elnoiouger fears it. Pay him with a little bird food: put him away. Next day try him again. He may go farther and light on it, or he may be several days getting thus familiar. Be patient.. Once this- step is attained, vary the programme by introdncing the finger in other Bpots. He will soon light on it at any point or angle. . Then try the door, at first thrusting tbe fioger under it. Next time fasten it open, blockading egress with the rest of the hand as one finger extends within. Wifen. he perches on it, draw him forth a little?,*- next time, temp* mnr4o^ne perch outside a little, and so on. In a short time, you have but to open the cage door, uplift a finger, and he is sure to fly to it ,* and he may thus be called to any part of the room , to rest on the familiar perch. Most birds learn this familiarity in a few days, yet there are those who will be two or four weeks about it. J (Hd Clothesv , f ? * f>* ? f \ f I?* ? It is a mystery to many people how scourers of old clothes can make them almost as good as new." Take for instance a shiny old coat, vest or pair of pants of broadcloth, cassimere, or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong, warm soapsuds and plunges tbe/garment p'nto it, souses .it up and down, rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through'several waters ana hangs it to dry on the line.

"Lightning-rods are going ont of use. Why ? Because they are cot. believed to be the protection that it was once thought they were." This was what an electri? cian told a reporter. Fifteen years ago the lightning-rod agent was everywhere in the land, and more especially at every farmer's door. To day, it is claimed, their number has materially decreased, and farmers are discontinuing the use of the rods. "What is your opinion upon the sub? ject of lightning-rods?" was asked of Chief Walker, of the City Electrical Department. "Candidly, in nine cases out of ten," he replied, "I think they are humbugs. I believe it is a fact that more barns are struck and burned that have lightning rods on than with them off. In the first place, it is best to keep electricity as far away from a building as possible. The object of the lightning-rod is to attract if. The rod is supposed to act as a conduc? tor of the electrical current to the earth, but instead of being carried off, the cur? rent, in consequence of faulty construc? tion of the rod or attachments, is fre? quently switched into the building. The end of the wire is supposed to be buried in moist earth, the moisture acting as a good condiM^.^IVithouc strict attention the iron becomes oxidized and rusts off, and then the rod is worse than nothing, It is a positive danger under such cir? cumstances, attracting the electricity of the atmosphere and having no adequate outlet for it. Then, again, the same danger arises when the insulators upon the sides of the building become defec? tive. The lightning is attracted from the atmosphere, where it might have remained but for the rod, and it is turned loose against the building on its way to the earth. If, for instance," the attach? ments on a barn are poor or worn out the current may be deflected and set fire to the building.* This is no uncommon occnrrence. In this city some -years ago the rod on the Belmont Water Works was struck, and it fused. The current Bowed on down and played about the machinery in the liveliest kind of a way. ? big Btone was knocked off the' Washington Monument by lightning. When the ground contact is good and the lightning is about to strike a building a rod may be of use. I think the rods do more harm I than good. There was a time when farmers were scared into* rodding their barns and houses, but I think they are getting over that."?Philadelphia Record; ? A. stroDg sentiment has been arous? ed in Great Britain against the absorp? tion by the royal exchequer of immense sums for the support of the members of the reigning family. Since' Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 it has been calculated that she and her relatives have received $250,000,000 of . the public money. Every- time that a child has been born or married' Parlia? ment has been asked to grant an allow? ance, and although protests have been made they have been ineffectual.* Of late, however, the. opposition to this extravagance has begun to crystallize, and proposed grants and annuities have been largely cut down.

C, June 30.?A sen? sation was caused here by the publication of a card from a well known politician, who charges that the path to the Govern? orship of the State lies only through the Protestant Episcopal church; also that the same church dominates the State university, while Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Lutherans, the least of whom outnumbers the Episcopals five to one, have been compelled to build and support their own colleges. The time has come, he says, when men of other religious principles Bhould be made gov? ernors, and that tbeir eligibility should not be confined to the Episcopal church. He, therefore, nominates Giles J. Patter? son, of Chester, who has been superin? tendent of a Methodist Sunday school for years, for the office of Governor at the ensuing election. The card has caused some comment and some researches into recent history. It is found that most of the ante-bellum governors of this State were Episcopalians by profession, if not by practice. # Since 1876. when the democrats gained possession of the government, there has been four governors elected, Hampton, Hagood, Thompson and Richardson, all Episcopa? lians. Some curious results are expected during the approaching campaign on this line. The denominational colleges bave ever since 1S7G been waging war in the Legislature on the State university, and finally succeeded in partially aboliehing free tuition. The Methodists, Baptists and Lutherans bave each two colleges in the State, the Presbyterians one. The Episcopalians contribute to Suwanee university in Tennessee. How the Consumer Pays. Here is the way the tariff works in more instances than one: A New York workingman wanted to buy a sewing machine for his wife, and after trying many settled on'one that cost $70. This is what followed: "A friend engaged in the export busi? ness, knowing of my want, came to my aid, and with the following result: He or? dered one of the machines! wanted sent to one of his ships for export to Mexico. After it had. been puton board, Isent an expressman for it, ccok it home, unpacked it from the very nice box which contain? ed it, and which must have cost conside? rable, set it up myself, and it was soon at work. When the bill came there was a discount of 50 per cent, and I paid for the same article, with the addition of the box, which we utilized in a way that housekeepers use, $35." The query naturally arises, who gets this difference ? The actual expense of the machine is $12. If we assume that the difference between $12 and $35 is enough for profit and reward to the paten? tee, why should a tariff compel the citizen to pay $70 for an American article that a foreigner can buy for ?35 ? and all the while Protectionists pretend that it is the difference in wages that makes a tariff necessary.?Indianapolis News.

Women were everywhere at the polls, at the lunch stands and on street corners, wearing silk badges and with "dry" bil? lots in their hands. Girls stood at the polls and at every voting place was a banner on which was inscribed: "Temperance Beaux, or No Beaux at All.*' Free dinners were served at the polling places. The legend, "We Can't Vote, But We Can Saffer," was car? ried by the women in a parade and occu? pied a prominent place in each ward precinct.

Monkeys in a Gold Mine. Col. Ed Moetz, of Chesterfield Court House, S. C, is a tall, limber jointed Yankee, who went South after the war and has been living there since. He comes North occasionally, and is in New York now. He is a truthful man, and there is no reason to discredit the story he tells. He owns a little gold mine near his home, and has been working it for some years with the aid of negro help. A couple of years ago he had a pet monkey who used to hang about the entrance to the mine and carry off occasional chunks of slate and rock. The Colonel thought he might utilize this kind of labor, and so be got a dozen more monkeys and set them to work. Now he has fully thirty of them chattering and laboring about the opening of the mine, and be asserts that they do the work of at least a dozen stalwart negroes.?iV. Y. Graphic. ?
