with a smile on her dear, wrinkled for many years. To a reporter he enter-

old face with the assurance that it during the interview quoted from a num-
will “cheer but not inebriate,” lias be.r of works which h e has written on
the subject. "In my opinion," he said,
“oiie of the chief causes of degeneration
in the human race is indulgence in opium
or the drug habit. In China there are up

numb r Is gradually Increasing.’•
A PERNICIOUS HABIT.
In one year t'he value of opium which
v as sent Into England was over $2,000,-

the drug Is that it takes hold of the indl-
count of'T. A. D. His open and hit- mixture and probably use it lavishly—more of it! nlakes Ihm'nnit” !t Regenerates him and

rare executive powers and a copious and more quantity if yoti cannot afford the genuine feelings of content and slight excitement,
must rage throughout the winter for the same pur
pose. Since they assail the just and the unujst with
equal ferocity, we may be pardoned for asking the
prophet wherein the advantage lies in being good?
Peradventure he will shortly offer a panacea for suf
ferers in blocks of stock in Zion, which, fully paid
for in the most excellent coin of the republic, will
exorcise the wicked little devils and enable the or
dinary mortal to dispense with ice or crash clothes
or the expansive palmetto fan.
Arguing the matter out to its inevitable finality,
is it not equally probable that the same course ob
served in winter would drive the coal men out of
business and empower young Mr. Hard-up to leave
his raglan perpetually in the tender care of his old
Uncle Three-Balls?

MORNING WITH THE MOCK'-
BIRDS.
The trees in autumn beauty seen
Still give the world a glimpse
green,
And here and there the starlight
shines
Through fadeless morning glory vines.
And sweeter far than human words
Is morning with the mocking-birds!
The thrilling music of their song
Prom meadows where the daisies
throng;
In chill, dark nights, when in the
sky,
Shadowed and stil, the red stars die;
But sweeter far than human words
Is morning with the mocking-bird-•
And will that melody of song
Tnrill the rapt world the winter long,
And to the graves and gardens bring
The beauty of eternal spring?
Oh, sweeter far than human words
Is morning with the mocking-birds!

' DAVIS IS A MUSICIAN.
(From The New York Herald.)
Richard Harding Davis, novelist, makes
no pretense of being a piapist, but he
does play the guitar and sing a bit.
Not. long ago he composed a musical
setting to a set of verses by a popu
lar poet, picking it out in the secrecy
of his apartments on a piano. The
accompaniment t 0 his voice consisted
of a few chprds, which, frofin frequent
repetitions, he fixed in his memory.
One ni?ht Mr. Davis was at a gath
ering of musical folk, among whom .was
a celebrated composer. An admirer beg
ged the rovelist to play one of hts own
eompositiens. He consented, walking up
boldly t 0; the piano and straddling the i zlcd breeder hesitates between Scylla

it is all play and no work.
The business is like all

and failures In the young birds. Some of

some of the second will not hatch, and
some of the third will get sick or die
There Is a credit and loss account In
every business, and you must not expect
all profit and no loss In the canary busi-
nes, any more than In any other.
These little bothers and worries gen
erally begin ln earnest soon after the
first yellow balls come to town. When
the babies are four or five davs old, and
as fat as yellow lumps of butter, their
too devoted mother sometimes begins to
make trouble for them and their owner.
Of course she does not mean to do it
not at all. But she loves those open
mouths with their Huffy attachment of
down so very much, that she sits on
them the whole time, and won’t leave
them even for a minute. So the poor little
things get sweated and almost suffocated.
There is no real cure for this freak, for
freak it is. If the mother is taken away,
the babies will starve, and so the puz-
tuoso. But no sooner had he spread
his fingers upon the keys than he turned
to the celebrated composer, who had fol
lowed him to the instrument, evidently
in great perplexity.
“I say," he complained, “I can t find
the starting note. I composed my tune
on an S-W-Y and this is an E-D.
Where rhould the note that is under
the ’W’ on an S-W-Y be on an E-D?”
much-loved balls of down is to take their
father out of the caffe, as then the moth
er is compelled to leave the nest at in
tervals to feed herself and her babies.
This gives them some relief, and in a
few days the freak usually passes, and
then the cock may be returned to his
family.
Sometimes one of the little ones will
be found lying on the floor of the cage,
dragged out by the mother in hopping
out of tlie nest. Pick up the yello-w bail,
breathe on it to warm it up a bit, and
put it back in tlie nest. Then capture
the mother and see if her claws do not
need clipping. It is no uncommon thing
for the lien to refuse to feed her little
ones, or at least only half feed them,
and this, too, only a day or two after
she has coaxed them out into the world.
In each case, you must watch closely,
and if the babies seem hungry all the
time, showing lhat they are not getting
sufficient food, you will have to feed
them yourself. The way to do this is to
crumble a hard boiled egg, moisten It
with saliva, scrape a little up on a tiny
flat stick and feed It into their mouths.
Do not think that water will do as well
as saliva. The latter is what the moth
er adds to it in swallowing and then
disgorging it for the little ones, and na
ture has decreed that their earlier food
must be moistened in this way. It is a
sort of predigestor.
The father is a good provider, a faith
ful feeder, and can always be depended
on. But you see the trouble is just here.
He feeds the mother, expecting her to do
what nature does not allow him to do,
and that is disgorge the food and give it
to the babies. When she is good, she
does so, but w’hen she is naughty or
frivolous, she refuses to do her duty.
And then what is the poor rattier to do?
He has done all in his power in bringing
the food to his wife for her to prepare
for the little ones. So If she will not
give it up to them, it is you who must
supply her deficiencies as above directed.
When the young ones are too weeks
old, their plumaige will be in course of
formation, and this, in the eyes of their
mother, is evidence that they can do
without her constant care. So she begins
to buikl another nest, for which purpose
materials should be furnished, and often
this second nest is completed before the
first brood is fully fledged. It is bet
ter to let her make her new nest in
another cage, allowing the mal e bird to
visit her night and morning until the
third egg is laid, an* then he can be
