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

HUMOROUS.
How it did pour. The table ho just
-been spread In the grove and 69oh %
wooden piooia plate was loaded Wth d
the usual conglomeration of ptokles, n
ham and frosted cake, when th: first
few drops came spattering dowh to
sd'ape loving friendship with the but
ter. In a momenta section of 'Noah's
deluge, left over, came down and the
"spread" was a complete lake with
floating edible Islands sailing about In
a friendly rivalry. The wet water dis- a
solved the frosting on thecakes fresh- t
ened the ham too much, made the cold 1
pudding thinner, and made a "mix" of
I
everything. "Into each pIcnic some

U
CUaiuRRA once said to Father Leary: V
"I wish, reverend father, that you
were St. Peter, and had the keys of
Heaven because then you codid let me
in," The shrewd and witty priest saw
the sarcasm, and turned its sharp edge
on the sceptic by replying: "By my
honor and conscience sir, it would be
better for you if I had the keys of the
other place, for then I could let you I
out."
JUsTIOE DILLARD, of the Supreme o
Court of North Carolina, may serve as r
an example of Democratic habits and
personal independence. It is related a
that the late Judge Kerr once saw
Judge Dillard in a second-class car.
"Hi'I said Kerr, how comes it a man
of your cloth is eaught in a second
class car?" "Because there is no
third-elass," quietly replied Judge D.,
and asked far a match to light his
pipe.
Bogus Certifiates.
It is no vile drugged stuff, preten
ding to be made of wonderful foreign
roots, barks, &c., and puffed up by
long bogus certiicates of pretended
miraculous cures, but a simple, pure,
effective medicine, made of well known
valuable remedies, that furnishes its
own certificates by its cures. We refer
to Hop Bitters, the purest and best. of
medicines. See another column.

A GENERAL sitting in front of a hotel
in time of war, heard a newsboy crying
his papers, "All about the battle."
The General bought a paper, but could
not find the account of the engage
miiat. Turning to the newsboy, he
said: "I do not see any battle." "No,"
said the boy, "you never will if you
sit here !''
EDITH and Mabel had just put their
dollies in their little crib, when Edith,
with the expression of one who has
had a great weight lifted from her
shoulders, said: "There I I'm thank
ful we've got the children to bed. We
shall have a little peace now I" Where
in the world did she get such a notion?
Now is the season of the year when

"I DIDN'T know a man could be so

A cow with seven arrows sticking in

A NEW boarder split some milk on his

AN American girl who marries an
Italian marquis gets on very well until

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.
