Canaries Are Gluttons.
People who are very dainty are sometimes
twitted with not having the appetite
of a canary bird. A New York
man recently resolved to find out just :
what the appetite of a canary gird is. ;
He weighed a canary and found it weigh- j
ed 247 grains, or something over half ,
an ounce. He also weighed ail his food
and found that the bird cats thirty-two ;
times his weight every month, or ac- j
tually more than his weight every day,
showing that the proverbial pig is a light
eater compared with the canary.

Professor Roberts and His Burglar.
Several years ago, when Professor
Charles (1. D. Roberts was living in Can"
ada. he was wakened one night by hearing
a burglar at his window. It was
bitter cold, and the snow was two feet
deep on the ground. The burglar was
warmly clad and the Professor wore
only his night-gown. Nothing daunted,
however, he sprang to the window. The
housebreaker started back in alarm and
made for the back fence. With a spring
the Professor leaped through the window.
carrying the sash with him.
"Stop!" he shouted.
The burglar sped on. In an instant
the Professor was at his side. He caught
him by the coat collar, snatched a club
from his hand, threw it on the snow, and
then with his bare feet kicked him to the
fence, over which he threw him as if
he had been a log.
When the Professor returned to the
house he found that he was badly cut
by the window glass, and that his feet
had been frost-bitten. It was several
weeks before he was able to leave his
house, but he never was troubled by
burglars again.?Philadelphia Saturday

Anciant Bookkeeping Methods.
The collection of Assyrian and Babylonian
records at the British Museum
has revealed more of the domestic life
of people who lived 5.000 years ago than
is known in the case of our own countrymen
1.000 years ago. Such was the
opinion expressed by Mr. W. St. Chad
Boscawen when he explained these relics
to an interested audience. The clay
bricks and cylinders beneath the glass
cases were covered with characters testifying
to a completely organized system
of justice, marriage, divorce, and commerce.
The bookkeeping of 5.000 years
ago was shown to be wonderfully accurate

which were inclosed in clay er>
velopes also inscribed with the terms of
the transaction, so that a double record
provided against the possibilities of damage.
The "open and closed evidence"
spoken of by Jeremiah is supposed to
refer to this system. The practice of recording
on a brick the name of the king,
of the building, and of the city in which
it was being erected has had the advantage
in modern days that an odd brick
may become the means of disinterring a
city hitherto unknown.?London Chronicle.

?ARIE RAGX1E11 brought
out .1 littlo register.
"You may write your
name here, if you will be
good enough, monsieur." she said.
Her new lodger did so, slowly, writing
like one in whom sickness had destroyed
a bold chirographer.
They talked together about the rates
of the lodging, and the man arranged
with her to give him breakfast in his
room.
"I am a student, mndame. I study

might have coffee in m.v apartment."
"That is simple. I will do it with
pleasure." They agreed upon 1lie
terms, and he stooped to carry up his
valise.
"Pardon, monsieur, but I have no
porter."
"It Is immaterial, thank you."
But his breath came hard as he
toiled up the stairs, and by the time he
had reached his room there were beads
of perspiration on his brow. He sat
down and panted, and his lips grew
blue. Marie Ilagnicr ran down to the
dining room and brought up a little
glass of water.
"You are ill,' she protested in a commiserating
voice. "I ought not to have
allowed you to carry a burden."
He drank gratefully and bowed with
grace as he sat the glass back on the
tray.
"You are standing, madame," he said,
arising from his chair. To simplify
matters Marie took another chair.
"I am not married," she said, in her
hearty way. "Mother and I?we have
this house and nothing else. It is the
legacy my dear father left us. I know
no way in which to earn my living in
the world; so we take lodgers. But
because we arc two women together,
and have friends whose regard is of
importance to us, we must be very particular

but something in your face looked so
sad?I could see yon were ill?that I
neglected to take my usual precautions;
and now I sec?oh, a thousand
pardons, monsieur and it strikes me to
the heart to see you looking so pale?
1 see that the name you wrote in my
little register is not the same as that
upon your valise."
The man looked at her stupidly.
"It is true," he said at length, and
wiped the moisture from his blue lips.
"Which is your true name, monsieur?"
she asked gently.
He smiled sl.wly and arose.
"Mademoiselle." he said, "neither is
my name. If you will allow me I will
go. I am not used to deceive?so I
blundered." He lifted the heavy valise
and started for the stairs, but before
lie reached them he fell prone.
Marie Ragnier rushed to him and
turned him over. He was in a dead
faint. She called her maid at the top
of her lungs.
"Lucie! Lucie! Tut something on
your head and go for the chemist. Wc
have a sick man here. Ask Monsieur
du Bois also. He must be put to bed,
this lodger."
She ran back to the bedroom and
prepared the bed with warmed sheets,
and in a moment her neighbors were
with her.
"You are to get him safe In bed,"
she told the chemist and her other
good friend?both had known her for
many years. "You are to make him
comfortable. No doubt bis nightclothes"?she
blushed?"are within
that valise. I shall be without the
door, and you can call upon me for
anything."
"But, mademoiselle. It is impossible
that you should take him. He should
go to the hospital. You may have ..
sick man to attend for weeks and in
the end he may die. You are too poor
to run such a risk, mademoiselle. Very
likely this man is penniless."
Marie Ragnier lifted her head with a
hint of hauteur.
"You are mistaken in thinking me
too poor to do this," she said.
So the sick man was made comfortable
In a soft and white bed; the shades
were lowered to protect his eyes from
the light; a tire was built in the grate.
When all was done the chemist took
Marie Ragnier aside.
"This man is going to die very soon,"
be warned her.
"In a week?"
"In a month."
"I will pray for his soul," said Marie
devoutly.
"These women are always sentimental
when one least expects it," muttered
the chemist. But for all that r:
made up his mind, if it should come to
a pinch, he would help Marie out with
the prescriptions.
Marie went back to her lodger.
"Would you like me to stew you a
chicken?" she asked, shyly.
"Mademoiselle! I?I am thrust by
my misfortunes upon your goodness.
How can I?ray name "
Marie broke into a youthful smile
and betrayed an unsuspected dimple.
"I have decided about your name,"
cho cold "i simp mil vou Monsieur

"I shall never be well "
"Very well, then. You will never be
well. I shall never be young. Let us
take life as it comes?one Is not afraid
of events, I hope!"
"You speak like a hero, mademoiselle.
As you say, one must resign one's
self. After all. what it is, this life?a
river that flows by! I can remember
when the waves of it danced and were
tipped with sunshine."
"And now?" Marie had the intonation
of a mother.
"Now it is a solemn stream?it is
dark and swift?It menaces. The rapIds
of death are beyond, and I can see
the white foam that leaps from them.
In a little while I shall be engulfed."
"Monsieur Votre, it is but for a moment.
A swirl, a confusion, a frantic
moment, then peace! i understand
that death, like life. Is tempered to
hira who must endure it. It is peace,

have nothing to do. It is bestowed."
"You are a poet, mademoiselle?a
kind poet."
"i am a cook, monsieur, i win prepare

She went out and then came hack
suddenly. She looked at her lodger
for a few seconds with pitying and
tender eyes.
"You are safe here," she said almost
in a whisper. "When you go down into
the rapids I shall stand upon the bank,
and though I cannot help you, I shall
say: 'Monsieur Voire, he is brave!' I
shall put ray decoration upon you. I
shall say: 'This Is my Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor.'"
The sick man raised himself on his
elbow and looked at her.
"All my life." he said, slowly. "I
have been a vessel without a destination.
The open sen has been mine, and
I have been blown from shore to shore,
but never known an anchorage. Can

find myself at last in harbor?"
"'There are 110 miracles,'" she
quoted. " 'There arc only Ignorances.'
"
Ilis eyes brightened.
"Ah!" he cried; "you know the philosophers!"
"I am but a woman, and I have liven
alone. But some of the great have
been my friends, though they have not
known it."
"I salute your friends, mademoiselle."
Marie Ragnier bowed gravely and
went out to direct the preparation of
the chicken broth. There was a delicate
flush on each cheek, and her eyes
were humid with emotion, though one
looking at her would have had trouble
to decide whether it was sorrow or
joy that lifted licr face above its usual
expression.
Three weeks later the chemist said:
"He will not live a week."
"After that he will live always," she
responded.
"You are a good woman," said the
chemist. "I once knew another also." I
"You are unfortunate if you have
known but two," she answered reproachfully.
"I have known women who have
broken no law?I have known many
such. But that is little. You have attained
to goodness."
"You honor me too much," she said
with an accent of perfect sincerity.
"I, who look into my own heart, know
that I am making no sacrifice in?in
caring for this man."
"I do not understand."
"You are a man. Only a woman
could understand."
Slie went back to her lodger.
"In a little while it will be over," she
said to him gently. "The rapids will
soon be in sight."
"Yes?"
"I thought that while you were still
strong and clear in your mind it might
be well to give me your messages?to
whom shall I send word?"
"To no one. I desire an obliteration.
It was because I desired that; because
I had not done what I set out to do;
because I could not reflect upon others
the honor they expected, that I?I
laid aside the name to which I was
born. I have worked for the gods, and
they are old and heathen. Their eyes,
blinded with much beauty, no longer
behold."
"I understand. You should have
worked for God. Then He would have
seen?also men would have loved you."
"It is true. I am afraid I have not
won the decoration you would bestow
upon me. I am not to be honored,
mademoiselle. Obliteration ? oblivion
"I shall always remember you!"
"There are those who wish they
might forget me."
"I am not of those."
"I hardly understand. I have been
only a burdeu to you."
"No, no. It is something I could
tell?only to a woman."
He took one of her hands gently in
his.
"But I, mademoiselle, am no longer
man or woman. The soul has no sex,
and I am but a spirit. This body?this
accident of flesh, this hindrance to the
best development, this aching matter
which clogs me?will be gone in a few
hours. If you can tell rue anything
that proves you to be my friend, let me
hear it for the love of mercy! I have
heard no very kind things from a
woman's lips in all my life."
Marie Ragnier pushed her hair back
fr?m her brow impatiently with both
her hands, and as she did so she
seemed to brush from that face the indications
of the passing years. The
face was essentially feminine. The
eyes were modest, but brilliant; the
throat round, the cheek smoothly
curved, the brow broad and low and
kindly, the hair waving and abundant.
"I am not a coward," she said, slowly.
"I am not afraid of joy, as many
women are; nor am I afraid of truth.
I have lived a lonely life, but that was
my destiny. I am patient, but I
know that action would have been
more gallant than this patience."
"}?"o one is more gallant man you:
You are a comrade in a man's most
desperate hour. Better than that you
cannot be."
"I Trill tell you. then. I am a woman
without a romance."
She paused, and the two were silent,
their hands clasped. A cold wind was
shaking the window, and the fire was
fitful.
"In a little while it will be dusk within
the room. Then I shall tell you better,"
whispered Marie Ragnier.
The gusty twilight came, and the
room seemed filled with spectres.
I "Speak," said the dying man, "for I
have trouble to keep my mind on one
thing. This room seems to me to be
crowded with those who have jeered
at me, who have betrayed me?those
from Avhom I must conceal this ignominious
end!"
"There is one person in this room. It
is the woman who bad no romancetill
now."
"You mean ?"
"That from the moment I saw your
4
face I felt that you belonged to me?or
had belonged to me. If you were to
live I -would never tell you "
"That is like a -woman," he said -with .
some bitterness. "But I am dying, and |
I may have a Barmecidian feast!"
"Is it no more to you than that? You !
will die and be compensated for all !.

what I have lost."
"Forgive me. I will accept my com- ;

Is the love ofa woman, good as the angels,

Neither of them moved. They sat
silent, with their hands clasped. |
Lucie, the maid, came in with the
lights. |
"Turn them low." said the sjck man. '
"I have a notion that I may sleep."
Marie Ragnier sat by him while he
slept. Presently there came a convul- .
sive tightening upon her hand.
"The rapids! The rapids!" The
words struggled up from a restricted
throat. !
"I am on the shore, my chevalier!

The difficulty of appreciating the dif- j
ference in time th.it prevails between
different countries is very general, and
the following list is printed for the j
purpose of a ready reference guide by
which to calculate the time of any oc- j
currcnce in another country. All na- !
tions, excepting Spain, Portugal and j
Russia, calculate their time from the j
meridian of Greenwich, accepting as
standard some even-hour meridian, '
east or west of Greenwich. For in- j
stance:
Western European, time, or that of
the meridian of Greenwich, is legal In -!
England, Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg.
Central European time, or one hour
east of Greenwich, is legal In Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Congo Free State,
Denmark, Italy, Servia, Sweden, Norway
and Switzerland.
Eastern European time, or two hours
east of Greenwich, is adopted by Bulgaria,
Roumania, Natal and Turkey In
Europe.
Eight hours east of Greenwich applies
to the Philippines.
Nine hours east of Greenwich is
adopted by Central Australia and Japan.
Ten hours east of Greenwich is omcial
in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.
Eleven and a half hoars east has
been adopted by New Zealand.
The United States, Canada and Mexico
have adopted the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth hours west of Greenwich.
The Hawaiian Islands adopt the meridian
of ten and a half hours west.
In Spain the meredian of Madrid,
fourteen minutes forty-five seconds
west of Greenwich, is legal; in Portugal,
that of Lisbon, or thirty-six rain- :
utes thirty-nine seconds west, and in
Russia that of St. Petersburg, or two
hours one minute and thirteen seconds
east of Greenwich.
A Case For the Doctor,
Litttle Mildred lives in Kenwood j
and is in the habit of playing with
Ethel, whose father preaches to one j
of the most fashionable congregations
on the South Side. This gentleman <
has the proud right to attach D. D. to
his name, so everybody but his daugh- !
ter calls him "doctor."
One day last week Mildred ran over
to the minister's house, and, finding ;
Ethel, asked if her father was at
home . 1
"Well. I want to see him right i
away," the little girl said, when she
learned that the reverend gentleman
was busy.
"What's the trouble?" asked Ethel's
mother, who overheard the two children
talking.
"I must see the doctor," Mildred
said, "and it's a hurry case. Nobody
else will do."
After further appeals and additional
declarations of the presence of an
emergencj' the child was taken into
the minister's study, where, without
waiting to be asked for an explanation i
she cried:
"Oh, doctor, my kitten's awful sick, J
and won't you please come right away i
and do something for it."
"I have frequently been called to '
administer comfort to dying sinners," .
the doctor added after telling the
story, "but that was the only time ?
anybody picked me out to attend to
the case of a sick cat."?Chicago Rec

Relics of the Bronze Age.
A French farmer at St. Brieuc has
just made an interesting find on one
of his fields. In a cavity in the clay j
he discovered 180 bronze axes. They !
are all of the same size, and are believed
by local antiquarians to have
been the stock of a (teWc merchant in
the bronze age. ... _ |
t?ma!? Bird Rules,
Among several species of the birds of
prey a deference for the female sex is
shown which is not met with in the
great majority of feathered kind, says
Mr. Frank C. Kirkwood. an ardent student
of the ways of birds and beasts.
He says:
"Several years ago it was my fortune
to capture two young eagles of the baldhead
species. When meat was thrown
into the room where they were confined
the male showed plainly how great was
his desire to pounce upon it, but a glance
from his sister was sufficient to keep him
rooted to the perch until she had finished.
When beef or other similar meals
were given them this easy victory for
the fair sex was the rule, but when a
fish was introduced it was only after a
fierce fight that the female succeeded in

due her.
"A pair of young breat-horned owls
which I at one time had also displayed
this female domination. I fed them principally
on live rats, and when they were
turned loose in the room, the male retained
a stolid and indifferent pose upon
his perch until the female had satisfied
her hunger, after which he would despatch
what was left. Many other are
the instances among the eagles, hawks
and owls in which the female bird is the
master of the situation."?Boltimor*

Good Water and Sanitation Pay.
During the month of April, in 1881, the
interments in the Montgomery Cemetery
amounted .to fifty-two. Our population
at that time, according to the census
report of 1880, was only 16.000. The interments
during the month of April,
1901. numbered forty-three. Now, according
to the census of 1900, our population
is 30,346, or nearly double that of
twenty years ago. It stands to reason,
th*r*fnrr that our death rate should be
considerably greater now than it was
then. On the contrary, it is more than
twenty per cent. less. If the death rate
had kept pace with the increase in population
the interments last month, as
compared with the same month twenty
years ago. tfould have been 104 instead
of forty-three. This is a wonderful
health record, and we seriously doubt if
any community can show a better one.
The reason for it i* patent to all who
keep posted on home conditions. It is
our magnificent artesian water and our
splendid sanitary sewer system which
have brought the great improvement. No
money was ever better expended than
that put in these two great health promoters.?Mnntcnmcr\<

HER COMMENT.
"Fame," said the youth with the earnest
intellectual expression, "is so hard to
attain! It is so difficult for one to get
himself talked about!"
"Humph!" rejoined the woman with
cold blue eyes and a firm jaw. "You
just ought to live up in our neighborhood."

oysters are healthy."
"Yes, I never knew one to complain."?Marine
