How to Pood and Keep Them In a Healthy Condition. Do not ??pect a canary to sing while .inoltiug. The growth of his tine new eoat requires all the surplus vitality of the small body. Feed him liberally with some good prepared food, keep him dean and quiet, and nature Trill do the rest, says the New York Globe. For steady feed ing give mixed seed, two parts rape to one of canary. Give a little frenh lettuce or celery every day and a bit r>f apple three times a week. Wash the cage floor and bath every morning. Put in fresh gravel three times a week. Use the regular bird gravel if you can get it. If not, clean, sharp river gravel will do. Once a week give a feed of hard boiled egg, taking eare that It does not remain in the cage more than one day. In place of it a piece of bread soaked in m.'lk and then squeezed almost dry may be substituted. A cleft of pepper pod hung by the side of the cage is also very good for both appetite and digestion. Keep the bird away from drafts. They are almost as deadly aB cats. Sunshine Is an excellent thing, but It must not beat too long or too directly upon his feathered cap. Never leave him overnight up toward the top oi the room in which gas jets have been burning. Hot, foul air always ascends and will make short work of him. In cold weather give him a bath every other day. With the right kind of gravel cuttlefish bone Is not abso lutely necessary. It is very well to keep a bit within reach. Take ? care that nothing edible corrodes the wires. Verdigris Is the result, a potent poi son. Next to drafts and improper feeding vermin are the roots of all the ills bird flesh Is b?lr to. Prevention Is the best cure. If you have reason to suspect them, take your bird out of the cage, wash and scald the cage thoroughly, then oil the top of the bird's head with sweet oil or good fresh lard. If your bird droops and lacks appe tite, put a rusty nail into his drinking fountain and mix a little coarsely powdered charcoal with his gravel on the floor. How to Enlarge Girls' Clothes. The momentous question of altering and lengthening girls' skirts is a never ending problem. Of course If there is a hem it should be let down as a first means. A few years ago it was uot nearly so difficult to lengthen a skirt, as one could use ruffles, flounces and yokes. Yokes were probably the most popular method. However, in this duy. when neither yokes nor flounces are worn and wheu ruffles seldom are, It amounts to quite a perplexing question, says the Chicago Tribune. A dress of plain colored material may be length ened by letting in bias bands of plaid. If the dress is laid, bands of plain col ored material may be used. A color should be chosen which matches one of the colors of the plaid. The width of the band should be determined by the number of inches you desire to add to tne length of the skirt. Decide where you wish to place the bands and then cut the skirt ..^ere. Stitch one side of the band to one side of the cut part and ,stltch the other side to the opposite part. This will lengthen the skirt the width of the baud. When two or three hands are used the skirt will then be the desired length. How to Mzko Teeth Glisten. To make the teeth glisten, besides making them white, brush them every moruing with warm water, a fairly stiff brush and a good dentifrice, says the Cleveland Leader. A good denti frice is an absolute necessity to keep the teeth pure. After they have been thoroughly cleaned go over them with a solution of water aud peroxide, and the teeth will glisten beautifully un less they are in an unhealthy condi tion. Cleanliness cannot be accomplish ed with an old water soaked tooth brush uor one which is used constant ly. Have two brushes, aud when one has been used for a couple of days wash It in carbolic water and lay it in the air and sun for two days. Car bolic water is made by putting two drops of carbolic acid in a pint of boil ing water. When the brush becomes discolored on the back throw it away. If-4'our teeth are close together use dental floss. In the East Indies, where fine teeth are the rule, the charcoal of the betel nut is used as a tooth powder. It is smooth and alkalescent How to Arrange a Family's Towels. When one buthes every day one does not care to take a clean towel each time or to use some one else's towel. To avoid this trace with lead pencil the name or initials of each member of the family in the plain space that is on the end of each Turkish towel and then work over in outline stitch with red marking cotton, which Is a fast color even when boiled. In this way each knows his own towel. How to Clean Wall Paper. To clean wah paper, first brush the walls thoroughly with a long handled broom which has been covered by a duster, then wipe with clean cloths un til all dust is removed. Cut a stale loaf of bread in four pieces and lightly wipe the paper with it, holding the bread by the crust and rubbing down, never up or across. How to Regulate a Clock. If you have a clock with a pendulum and it is inclined to run slow screw up the little thumbscrew for that pur pose. If It is as high as It will go and still ruuB slow, take off the thumb screw, put a washer on and screw It back on again. You will find the clock is regulated.

Never Failing Employment and Good Pay Assured on Specialities Wort. There is a seamstress in New York who knows how to make butterfies out of ribbon. She can also fashion violets and other ribbon trimmings. She goes out for the day making them and when she has fihisned ah* trims them with lace. Speaking of hor art she says: "There are dozens of seamstresses that are starvirg to death. I make my living and i am busy every day in the year? Yet I do nothing but make trir.im'rgs of ribbons and lace. I take yo \r old lrce hits and make tb**~ in charming ways and I transform your ribbons into ornaments wLica are priceless when it comes to matters of decoration. "I would," said she, "if I were a sesmstrss, leam to make ribbon bows, e^pocially tie new kind, with no end at all. I would learn the Josephine rosettes, the sash ribbon bows, the Louis Quinze knots and the butterflies. I would also learn how to trim these ribbon ornaments with lace. "Of course, I would learn how to color laces. Recently I took some stained old lace and dipped it until it was a golden yellow. Then I bought a yard of real gold lace and mixed it in with the other. This I made up Into ribbon ornaments for the waist, which looked as though they were all made of gold lace. "I know of no better occupation for the moment than the making of the numerous ribbon ornaments with wLich the woman of fashion is trim ming her gowns." How Being Jilted Benefitc a Girl. A normal woman shoi'ld not be soured by being jilted. She would oniy be a little wiser, a little better able to juige between the true ani th false af erward. She would not he so ready to trust all men, but would have just as much faith in the one man as eveF should she love apain, for faith and hope and love a^e the nat ural heritage of the normal woman. These qualities are as much a part of her as life itself. The wira girl, however, recognizes that It.is better to be jilted hefore mar ringe than neglected ifter-'ards. She may love h'ir. dearly, and yet willingly give him un on hearing that his heart has changed towards her. Probably tho worst sorrow a girl can know weald be hers, with the knowledge thc.t his heart had gone from her to another. But e'ren then, if she truly loves, she would not feel bitter tow ards him. Are Blondes Becoming Rare? In one respect the women of to-day are approaching the angelic standard ?namely, in stature. Angels, as shown in pictures, are always tall. The aureole and wings, it is to be feared, are beyond reach. Another peculiarity of the heavenly mes sengers, which earthly young ladies are not likely to imitate, is that they never wear shoes?not even sandals. So far as their fair hair Is concerned, It may be counterfeited with the help of peroxide, but, if Prof. Mason's theory be correct, the time is not far dis'ant when a real blonde will be such a rarity that artists who paint angels will have trouble to outa.ii a satisfactory model. The Women of Korea. We can hardly realize the servil ity of the oriental women. In Kon>a, so deeply sunk in ?upersiition are the people, that women are actually held responsible for the crimes of their husbands, fathers and sons, and they have no rights before the law. A woman, for inttance cannot ob tain a divorce from brr husband, how ever cruel he may be, but for tho most trivial reason be can secure a separation. Only women of Gie low er classes are allowed on the public: streets aud even tbey t niu^t cover their faces. Women are allowed to tal e no part in anything but drud gery. Hew Baby Slept in the Middle Ages. Daby nowadays has things so much his own way that he would doubtless feel very indignant if he were put to sleep like the baby of the m'ddlo ages. The picture shows -a ?ty-lc nf ora.lle in use some eight centuries ago, when the custom pr2vailed of swart.i ing the limbs of the poor little mites of humanity in the tightest of swad dling banns. They were strapped down in their cradles so that tney could frail out, or even move a limb. In the ninth and tenth cen turies cradles were made of a sectioii of the trunk of a tree scooped out. Small holes were bored at the sides and through these -traps were passed to fasten the baby in. Later on rock ers were used. Sometimes the cradle was hung by cords or, as in the picture, slung between two wooden supports. In the sixteenth century cradles were often very elaborate and beautiful. Sometimes they were made of silver and again they were of wood, richly carved and ornamented with gilt mo saic work. Best Women Sailors. A ship's doctor who has made one hundred voyages declares that the American girl dots not become seasick so readily as her European Bisters. The English girl is next in order of resistance, while the French girl suc cumbs most easily. Alcohol was not discovered until the reventh century, and the distillation of spirit from wine was not discovered until the twelfth century. Here's (,'ood Advice. O. S.

Which alters when It alteration flnus Or bends with the remover to remove. Oh. no! It Is an ever fixed mark That looks on tempests and Is never nhaken. It Is :hc star to every wandering bark Whose wortn's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not time's fool, though rosy Ilpr. and checks Within his bending sickle's compass come.

TW play Is done?the curtain drops. Slow falling to the prompter's bell; A moment yet the actor stops And looks around to say farewell. It Is an Irksome word and task. And when he's laughed and said his say He shows, as he removes the mask, ? A lace that's anything but gay. One word eye yet the evening ends. Let's close It with a parting rfcymo And pledge a hand to all young friends, As fits the merry Christmas time. On life's wide scene you, too, hove parts That fate ere long shall bid you play. Good night! With honest gentle hearts A kindly greeting go alway! Good night! I'd say the griefs, the Joys, JilBt hinted In this mimic page, The triumphs and defeats of boys, Are but repeated in our age. I'd say your woes were not less keen. Your hopes more vain, than those of men. Your pangs or pleasures of fifteen At forty-five played o'er again. I'd say we suffer and we strive Not less nor more as men than boys. With grizzled beards at forty-flvc. As erst at twelve In corduroys. And If In time of sacred youth We learned at home to love and pray, Pray heaven that early love and truth Ma.y never wholly pass away. And In the world, as In the school, I'd say how fate may change and shift, The prize be sometimes with the fool. The race not always to the swift; The strong may yield, the good may fall, The great man be a vulgar clown, The knave be lifted over all, The kind cast pitilessly down. Come wealth or want, come good or 111, Let young ard old accept their part And bow before the awful will Arid bear it with an honest heart. Who misses or who wins the prize, Go. lose or conquer as you can, Eut If you fall or If you rise Ee each. p?-ay God. a gentleman. - -William Makepeace Thackeray. PLEASURES OF MEMORY.
