Canaries, caroling an unusual ac companiment to the organ and choir, were used In a London church recent ly. The pastor, the Rev. Fenwicko L. Holmes, decided to surprise his (lock with the unique plan. The con gregation accordingly filed Into a ihurch brightened by the melody of a jozen pretty yellow birds, imported Irom Germany, their cages swinging it advantageous points high above the keads of the worshipers. The canaries interrupted the sermon very little, j But when the choir and the cougre- ! fation arose to sing hymns the feather ed songsters burst forth into a musical itdence which greatly enhanced the , human praise of the Creator. Mr. ] Holmes does not know that canaries 1 sere ever used before Atj^Suurch serv- j rices, but he thinks them a great help | to sincere worship. They will be used ?very Sunday hereafter. Motor Shlp's Long Voyage. Tlie voyage of the motor' ocean Moer Selaudla, the first passenger and cargo Teasel to make a long journey entirely Independent of the use of ?team power, has been completed without mishap. The distance cor*, trad was 21,600 miles. In fuel econo my the vessel far exceeded expecta tion. Very few alterations are Bug l??ted by the engineers. They relate chiefly to the heat radiated from the ufeaust, which affected the tempera hire of the engine room. This trou ble has been corrected.

' * JIM ELLIOT'S MISSION By GENE P. OUANDE. It was a sharp gum of wind i?k furiously around tho corner utid filling Jimmy Elliot's eyes with dust thai wag responsible for the accident, For being partially hllnded, ho darted for ward In the path of a street car, which promptly knocked him over and against the edge of the sidewalk, where he lay senseless^ while the brecre caught up hla unsold newspa pers and scattered thorn along tho block, > Miss Elslo Moore, who, with her es cort was Just about to enter the the ater close by, s^w the accident and ran to the boy's side. Hho placed her dainty han/lkerchlef ov<# the gash lu his forehead, while tho gentleman with her plckod up the lad and car ried him to a near-by drug store. Fortunately the Injury was not seri ous and Jimmy, htfvlng recovered his senses, overflowed with gratitude when expressing his thanks to "de swells what picked him outen de gut ter." Qerald Osborne laughed as he complied with his fiancee's request to recompense the little news-vendor for tho loss of his papers. Jimmy nat urally looked upon his adventure as a lucky one. The cut on his forehead was a trivial matter, and the five dol lar bill Osborne had given him was of much importance. As It chanced he was destined to see his benefactors on more than one occasion. Osborne and his fiancee wer^jjegular theatergoers and it/fre quently happened that they .passed the corner where Jimmy had his head- j quarters. At euch times the boy was ! always sure of a bright smile and kind word from the girl and a tip from her escort. It was late In the fall when] he first noticed that his two favorite customers had not paid hfs stand a visit for an unusually Jong time. When the winter days came on and they were still missing Jimmy came to the conclusion that they must have been married and left the city. Three, months later on a wet after noon he suddenly spied among tho throng at the corner waiting for the passing cars, the slender form of his former patroness, "So you missed me, Jimmy?" she queried softly. "You bet I did, Miss," responded the boy. "I t'ought youse ,mebbe got married an' went away somewheres wit' that gent." 1 The girl shook her head sadly. "No, I didn't get married, Jimmy," she said. "Things have, changed with me since I saw you last. I'm just as poor as you are now, Jimmy." The boy stared at her in uttter be wilderment. He noticed that .her dress was old and worn, though neat and carefully mended In places. "Where's Mister Osborne?" he asked. "Don't he know nothln' about It?" Elsie shook, her head again. "I don't know where Mr. Osborne Is at pres ent/' she said. "We have net seen each other for a long time, not tt&oe? - I became a working girl." "Did ,he trun youse down when you loses yer dough?" demanded the small squire of dames wrathfully. "I guess that must be it, Jimmy," responded the girl, as she turned to board her car. The, boy's eyea followed her wist* fully. "I wonder," he murmured thoughtfully, "if she's still stuck on dat guy. Wisht I could see him some wheres." Two days later a familiar voice hailed him ,and Gerald Osborne tossed a coin on the stand as he caught up a paper. . j ? MB&y7 yOTtwrayC nofriend of mine no more," spoke, up Jimmy sturdily, "after de . way youse treated Miss Moore." Osborne dropped the paper and caught his shoulder. "What do you know about Miss Moore?" he asked excitedly. "Do you know where she is?" Jimmy, recounted his interview with the girl, and Osborne listened atten tively. - "It was all a mistake, Jimmy," he said. "I have been hunting for Miss Moore for a long time. .When you see her again, follow her, find out where she lives, let me know and I'll reward you well. Don't say anything to her; she wouldn't understand; her rilnd has been poisoned against me by lies." ? True to his trust, Jimmy tracked the girl to her humble home the next time she; passed the corner, and a few hours later Elsie stood face to face with her supposedly unfaithful lover and listened to his explanations. When Mr. Moore's wealth was shal lowed up by an unlucky speculation, and the family went to live in a poor section of the city, Osborne, sum moned suddenly away on a trip to the east on business, was astounded to re ceive a curt note from bis fiancee breaking off their engagement, but giving no reason for the action. He was unaware that his sister Ethel, who had never liked Elsie, had in formed the girl that Gerald had bowed to the wishes of his family and was anxious to break off an engage ment which was no longer desirable, j Elsie's pride was aroused and con sidering no further explanation neces aary, she t<wk step*' toTelefcfi^" her lover at once. It did not take him iong to estab lish his innocence in Elsie's eyea. and before the night was over the reunited lovers started forth in search of Jimmy, the accomplishment of whose mission of . gratitude had brought them again together? never to part in this life. ;r. FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGOS Though Nearly Half Water, Their Contents Are Extremely Nutrltloue ? Comparison With M.eat. Many persons often ask what an eg g u made of, but strange to nvy~ ftv I'vfir find out to thtir entlni iaiU* faction A ti't.t lit tin ?l<]miuucnt Q( agriculture shows that the white of ait egg is nearly sovoneighthn water, the balance being nearly pure albumen. The yolk la slightly less than one-half water. Thia ia true of the eggs of chickens, turkeys, duckw and geese. In comparing the eggs of theso various birds the department of agriculture quotes the following figure*: lien egga, 00 per cent, water, 1C per ceut. protein, 36 per oent. fat. Goose egga, 44 per cent, water, 19 per ceut. protoin, 36 per cent. fat. Duck egga, 4G per cent, water, 17 per cent, protein, 36 per cent, fat, Turkey egga, 48 per cent, water, 18 per cent, protein, 33 por cent. fat. Of courae, farmora underatand that protein goea to make muacle and blood, while fat la fuel for running the machinery of the body. Thus It will be aeeu that egga, though half or near ly half water, are extremely nutrltloua, containing all the elementa required for the bhlldlng and support of the body. There Ib no truth, however, In the old aaylng that an egg containa aa much nutriment aa a pound of ateuk. It would be nearer oorrect to eatimate a pound of egga aa being equal to a pound of lean ateak in nu trltloua value. MAKE PERCHES MITE-PROOF Made of 2x4 8tuff, There la No Place for Little Insects to Hide ? Kerosene Does Work. The aimpleat constructed perch we can get, if it gives satisfaction should be the one to build. There la no place for the mitea to hide, even, should they get on theae perches. The perchea are made of 2x4 atuff with one edge rounded, the pieces that form the aupport for the perches are of the same material as the perches, also that of the legs, which are one foot long, which makea the perches 18 inches from the floor. Sufficiently high for convenience and not ao high that when fowls Jump from them, Mite-Proof P?rche?. they will bruise their feet, causing "Bumble-foot," broken legs or breast bones, 'fho legs should fit the cans loosely so that In removing 'them to facilitate cleaning out the droppings, the cans will not be overturned. The cans should contain an Inch or two of kerosene or coal oil at all times, and there is no possible chance of any mites* big or little, getting by. INDUSTRIOUS HEN LAYS EGGS Fowl 8hould Not Be Compelled to Re main Idle by Being Cooped Up In Filthy Quarters. The hen is naturally Industrious, and she should not be compelled to remain idle by being cooped up In dark, filthy quarters, where draftrf are prevalent, the floor without some good, litter and surroundings other wise unhealthy. Rather encourage her to work by providing her with good, comfortable quarters. * Construct a good scratch abed, but if this be impossible then construct a dropping board under the roosts and place the litter upon the floor of the coop. - Permit ail the light possible. Scatter the grain food in the litter and let old biddy scratch for It to her heart's Content. Avoid feeding moldy food and pro vide drinking water In plenty. During the bitter cold weather slightly warm the water for the 'convenience of the fowls. Remember, the working hen Is the one that will shell out the eggs, while the idle one will not lay.
