tanary-colorling. To no bird has somuch attentign been paid as to the canary. It came origin. ally from the islands that.have gven it its name; now the chief importations are said to be from St. Helena, though we should have supposed that little business was done In that way, since the birds are s6, prolific when domesti cated. Mr. Blaoksten tells us that their first introduotion into Europe is be lieved to have been early in the six. teenth century, when a ship containing a consignment of them was cast upon Elba. The prisoners escaped, to be gradually recaptured; and then cana ries became an article of trade from Italy to Germahy, where from the first, they were taken into general favor. In .Englan'd Norwich has always held its place as the head quarters of canary fancying, brought there by the expat riated Flemings, who lied from the persecutions of Alva. To this day the Norwich canary still stands eminent among the birds whose specialty is color. Others of the color class are the Lizard-so named from a somewhat far fetched resemblance in its variegated tints to the glistening stripes on the back of the reptile-and the London Fancy," which Is comparatively rare and not much sought, aliter. But noth Ing Is more curious in the history of canary-breeding thaii the remarkable processes of artilicial coloring, which are among the great, discoveries of very recent tines. Canaries were brought up for exhibition, which showed qiwdntly fanciful variations In their p nage. Those variations were sup posud at first to be mere Incidentsin the lireeding; and it was understood that the way to perpetutate or improve upon any particular hues was to be careful in selecting suitable parents. Even then, and under the most favorable conditions, it was obvious that the colors of the offspring must be very muich a matter of chance. it occurred, however, to certain intelligent fanciers that color might be its iluenced by mudil flications in the diet. Many prescrip tions were tried with that object among others, marigold flowers, strong solution of saffron, coehineal, pon wine, beetroot, iustard seed, etc,-but with very imperfect. results; when sud denly exhibitors came to the field with -a success that startled envious rivals. Suspicions were aroused and accusa tions freely indulged in. It was said that the colors were the result of skillful dyeing, though the very audac ity of any such atteplit should have raised a strong presuimption for the nnocence of the exhibitor, To satisfy the objectors so far as possible, the un fortunate birds were siub.'jected to severe ordeals, being half stripped in the pro cess of testing their feathers. But ex perienced Judges like 3Mr. Blackstone were satisfied. and gave their awards In favor of those plienoinena. Finally one of the breeders of rich red birds who had undertaken to multh>ly thent almost to order and siceesfully, pro claimed his secret to the world.

THERE's nothing half so swveet in life as love's ice cream-in a country bake shop. EXACTLY WnIAT Is WANTED AND Souaar A FTin --To find a sate, roll able, harmless, not repulsive remedy that can be taken without interfering with business or pleasure, or disorgan izing the system, a sinmple vegetable compound assisting nature to get rid of impurities in a gradual manner as na ture intended. Such is in Simmons' Liver Regulator, and the trial andl use is all that is necessary to prove this to the most skeptical. Complete satisfac tion is secured to every one, and cer tainly it lasa satisfaction to find the head clear, the bowels regular, the blood purided and the breath sweet. The Riegulator is so mild, so gentle, so harm less, and does such a world or good in correcting the stomach, regulating the bowels, and restoring the health, that all that is necessary is to give it a trial.
