Mow the Bullaneh Is Taught to sing.
Boys and girls are not the only little
koliks' who attend singing classes, of 0
which you shall know when you hear
axput the piping buflfinch. In shape t4
and size this bullfinch is somewhat like C
the sparrow In our city parks, but he h
has a very different head. The spar
row, you know, has a trim, quick, little e
pate of his own. Not so the bullflach. fl
Iias is a clumsy affair-In fact he has a d
sort of a "bull" head and rieck , so, Is
you see, he Is a well named. Besides, r
ins body Is nearly as blacic as a coal, e
and his throat is as red as if the coal o
wer'i on Are. He is not naturally a 1
singer, nor Is he half so clever as our
American mocking- bird. In tact, he
seems rather stupid, but Is wIlling to t
learn; and It so happens that If you f
persevere long enough you can teachi
im to sing a tune. The country peo- e
pie of Germany have found this out. e
There the peasants take great delight t
in training bullinches. Their pupils, P
being not very bright, as I said before, M
are stupidly hopping about their cages, i
when suddenly they hear a tuie played p
on a violin. They prick up their ears, o
-or would do so if they could-and b
begin to listen, quite unconscious that I
that very same violin has been playing
that very same tune for about a week
without their noticing it. But It is s
something to catch their attention. a
Day after day, for months, the patient
teacher goes over and over again the
same tune to the listening birds, until
human listeners begin to wonder which
will get crazy first, the bullfluch or P
the player. But by and by the birds
begin to pik up the air, piping the t
simple parts at first, and taking up e
note after note until, at last, they f
know the whole thing by heart. Some- a
times a rustic father spends half his
time all winter, teaching one little pa- #L
tient bird, and all the children look on a
with the greatest interest. Or aboy will d
undertake the task, and when he at
last succeeds, his sisters look upon him
as the most wonderful fellow in the o
world; and they cry in real earnest a
when the wonderful boy carries his 1
pupil to town to be sold; for sold these 0
bullfinches are sure to be as soon as r
d
they are taught, or else exhibited by 0
their owners as street singers. Some- c
times bird teachers are known far and $
wide for their skill and succesis; and at a
Freiburg, in Baden, and small villages k
on the outskirts of the Black Forest, d
bullfinch training is practiced as a v
regular businegs. In such cases, a t
small hurdy-gurdy, or "bird organ," i
is used, as being less difficult and ire- p
some than the violin; and, instead of d
tralhing one bird, they teach the same 0
tune to a class of ten or a dozen. Gen- %
erally, the birds are sent to London or I'
'arls, where, if thqy have learned
their lessons thoroughly, they are Y
bought by rich folks, put itto beauti- .
ful cages and treated as pets, whilst i
other bullflnehes, having trifled away
their school-days and only half learned
their tune, live a vagrant life around e
the markets, belonging to nobody, and U
picking up their dinner us best they

"Greek firc"-or as it is sometimesa
called ''Saracen flre"--was the mest e
impiortanit wvar material men had before i
the invention of gunpowdler. Twlvoo 14
the city of Conistanitinople was caved
by the use of it. It ia said to have beeiin
invented by a Syrian, who deserting i
from the service of the Caliph, reveal- o
ed his secret to the emperor. Tfhe in- "
gredients, if nor. also the modec of dart- v~
ing the utre, were kept a secret for uip
ward of 400 years,andi it is quite uancer-g
Lain r'ow what were actually the com- k
ponent parts of that which, Joinville e
says, "came flying through the air like C
a wltngedl long tailed dragon, about"
the thickness of' a hogshiead with tim a
report of thunder and the velocity of i1
lightining; and the darkness of the P
night was dispelled by this deadly illu
mination. .It is generally considered,
however, that "the fire" was cornposed g
of naptha, mingled in certain pr.opor- nx
tionus, no0w unknown, with sulphur, b
and with puitch obtained from ever
green fir. This mixture ignitedl andk
blown or pumped through long tubes
of coppeor, which were mountedl in the
prows of' galleys, and1( fancifully shape I
into the formu of monsters, produced a it
thick smoke with a loud explosion, ih
and a flame, fierce and obstinate, c'
which no amount of water could ex.,
tinguish. When used for the defenase
of walls, it was p)oured in large boilers
from the ramparts, or was hurled on a
javelins by means of tow wvhieh had I
previously been steeped in inilamma- n~
ble material. Against it the bravest 0
soldiers went in vain; their imagina- ~
tion recolied from a thing so subtle and b
terrible. Horses flid fromi it in dire a
frieght; ships were but by it, there ~
was no way of standing againist it. TIhe
Greek emperors, sensible of theenorm- E
ous advantage whichi an offensive wea- LI
pon of such a kind gave thecam, invested g
it with a mysterious history, and ap
pealed to the superstition of their sub- ni
Jects for the preservation of the secret a
of the manufacture. They said that an a
angel had revealed the composition of Ii
G+reek fire to the Constantine, for they
express purpose of maintaining the f,
superiority of the empire over the Bar- el
bariana; and that whoever betraiyed I
the secret to foreigners would incur
not only the penalty of treason and t
sacrilege, but the special vengeance of
the Almighty. In the twelth century,
however we find it used( by the Ma-0
hometans in their wars with the Christ-t
lans; anud from that time it came into
-pretty general use, until the Invention
of gun-powder put it out of date, and
caused an entire rev oluition in the a rt
of war.0

iat skim milk has been fed to cows in
trge quantities, and all the cow had
> do was to actj as a sort of strainer.
f late years the use of brewer's grains
as become universal where they could
e obtained, and the result has been an
rcreased yield, by some claimed to be
t poor quality, and by others to be
rat-olass, giving as evidence the con
ition of the cows, which generally are
i good condition, and in many oases
ally fat,-those who claim the latter,
isertIng that cows in a thriving fat
3ndition must give rich milk. One
f the most prominent producers and
ippers of milk for this market feeds
is cow exclusively on these grains
rinter and summer, and on a visit a
)w days since to his farm, we found
ie cattle many of them apparently fit
>r the butcher. Corn meal and bran,
i the, proportion of equal weight
ave been considered one of the best
kixtures while an addition of oil-cake,
ther of flax or of cotton seed, has, in
le opinion of many, been amply re
aid by the increased product of but
r. The general oustom of dairy farms
as been to depend on grass along dur
ag the summer, but of late some have
racticed giving a small ration of meal
r bran, and with very good results
oth in the yield of milk and butter.
6 is generally taught that nitrogen
us food adds to the casein In milk, and
iat carbonaceous compounds increase
to butter product, and the reasoning
ms to be plausible, as cheese contains
large proportion of nitrogenous mat
r, while butter is almost entirely a
ttty substance largely composed of
arbon.
CnoosING Po ULTa.-n choosing

'ie breast being hard and thick de
otes that it is Iresh and sweet. No
tick, either wild or tamue, is good un
iss fat. Tame ducks are served with
pple or cranberry sauce, with currant
rily, or oranges, and frequently with
lives stewed in the gravy about five
rinutes before the bird is berved.
f(heu geese are young and in good
indition their legs are soft, yellow and
Ather downy; if the logs are Stiff and
ry they are bad and tainted. Sone kinds
f tame birds requlre to be kept a little,
thers ought to be eaten as soon as pos
ble; thus pigeons are best when fresh
ud lose all taste and flavor If they are
ept; but tv'rkeys require to be hung
p for several days before they are ten
or. This condition again will vary
rith the age of the bira, the state of

ung by four of its largest tail feathers,
s soon as it fails upon the towel pre
ared to receive it, it. is In prime con
Ition, and will then deteriorate. In

THE CARE OF TUE ILAIR.-A tine head
of natural hair is certainly a very great
adornment. Well-brushed, glossy,
smoothly-ban'led hair used to be the
ambition and the pride, or perhaps the
envy and desZ'air of every young lady.
In latter days we have seen strange
changes in feminine opinion on this
subject. All sorts of wild and plet
uresque confusion, crimps, fluffs, ring
lets, falso pieces of every description,
have deformed heads which might else
have been graceful. But bangs and
montague curls have capped the very
climax of ugliness. The prettiest and
most piquant face grows commonplace
under their spell. The brow, noblest
part of the countenance, Is concealed
beneath a straight or tangled mat, and
undue prominence is accorded to the
lower parts of the face. We wish our
girls would resolve never to wear
banged hair or montague curled hair,
unless they wish to be taken for luna
tics on a tramli. To keep the hair in
good condition, eschew pomades.band
oline and ungueuts. Brush it frequent
ly with a clean, dry brush. Oeanse
the brush once a week with borax, or
a few drops of ammonia. Let the hair
be loose and free at night, and in the
daytime coil it in some loose and easy
way, fastening it with as few hairpins
as possible.
RED DYE FOR WooL.--Ooarse woolen
staffs are dyed red with madden or
archii; but fine cloth is almost exclu
sively dyed with cochineal, though the
color which It receives from kermes is
much more durable. Brazil wood is
scarcely used except as an auxiliary,
because the color which it imparts to
wool, is not permanent. Wool Is dyed
red by first impregnating It with
alumine by means of an alum bath,
and then boiling it in a decoction of
cochineal or madden, till It has acquired
the wished-for color. The color will
befiner If tin-mordant be substituted for
alum; Indeed, it is usual with dyers to
add a little nitromuriate of tin when
they want fine colors. The addition
01 archil and potass to the cochineal
both renders the red darker, and gives
it more bloom; but the bloom very
soon vanishes. For paler colors, one
half of the cochineal is withdrawn,
and madden substituted in Its place.
'Wool may be dyed scarlet by first boil
ing itin solution of murlo sulphat of

IIINTs ABOUT WATER.-NO water
thathas stood in open vessels during
the night should be used for drinking or
cooking. By exposure to the air it has
lost its "aeration," and has absorbed
many of the dust germs floating in the
apartment. If convenience requires
wvater to be kept In vessels for several
hours before use, It should be covered.
Filtering always adds to the purity of
the water. Drinking water should not
be taken from lakes or rivers on a low
level. Surface wvater, or water in lakes,
pools8 or rivers wvhich rceive the sur
f ace wash,should be avoided asmuch as
possible. Do not drink much water at
a time. More thani two tumblerfuis
should not be taken at a mecal. D~o not
drin1k between meals unless to quench
thirst, all excess of' water weakens the
gastric juice and overworks the kid
neys. Excessive potatrions, whether of
water or other fluid, relax the stomach
impair its secretions and paralyze Its
moyements. By drinking a little at a
time all injury Is avoided.*
CURE FoR DRU~zNENNcss.-Take one
pound of' best, Iresh, qulil red P'eruylan
bark, powder it, and soak it in one
pint or diluted alcohol. A fter ward
strain and evap~orate it downa to half a
pint. Directions for Its use : Dose-a
teasp)oonful every three hours the first
and second day, and occasIonally
moisten tihe tongue between the doses.
It acts like quinine, and the patient
can tell by a headache if he is getting
too much. The third day take as pre
vious, but reduce the (lose to one-half
teaspoonful. Al terward redunc the
dose to fifteen drops, andl theni down to
ten, and then down to five dlrops. Tio
make a cure, it takes from f've to fifteen

Seven dlays are aboutG the average In
which ai cure can be effected.

Here to Preserve a Carriage. A carriage
tould be kept in an alry, dry coach
ouse, with a moderate amount of light,
therwise the colors will be destroyed.
'here should be no communication be
weei the stables and the coach holise.
'he manure heap, or pit, should also
e kept as far away as possible. Am
ionia cracks varnish and fades the
lors, both of painting and lining. A
arriage should never, under any cir
umstances, be put away dirty. In
,ashing a carriage, keep out of the sun
ud have the lever end of the "setts"
overed with leather. Use plenty of
rater, which apply (where applicable)
rith a hose or syringe, taking care that
ie water is not driven into the body to
te injury of the lining. When forced
rater is not attainable, use for the body
large soft sponge. This when satura
)d, squeeze over the pannels, and, by
ie flow down of the water, the dirt
rill soften and harmlessly run off;
ien finish with a soft chamois leather
ndoil silk handkerchief. The same re
larks apply to the underworics and
rheels, except that when the mud is
rell soaked, a soft mop, free from any
ard substances in the head, may be
sed. Never use a *spoke brush,' which
I conjunction with tnie grit firom the
Dad, acts like sandpaper on the var
ish, scratching it, and, of course,
Irectually removing all gloss. Nev.r
Llow -water to dry itself on the car
lage, as It invariably leaves stains. Be
ireful to grease the bearings of the
)re-carrlage an to allow it to turn free
r. Examine a carriage occasionally,
nd whenever a bolt or slip appears to
e getting loose, tighten it up with a
Trench, and always have little repairs
one at once. Never drag out or back
carriage into a coach house with the
oree attached, as more ao'identsoccur
,om this than from any other cause.
[eaded carriages should never stand
'ith the head down, and aprons of
very kind should be frequently unfold
or they will soon spoil.
