We read with interest of the strange

Swiss lake dwellers, the Chinese'boat
houses, the Philippine tree dwellers,
that build their houses in the tops of
trees 75 or 80 feet from the ground.
But why should not as strange things
happen in Lumpkin as any other part
of the world ? There is a boy in town
who has a steel plow or some other

regularly strikes the hours day and

pended in the top of a tree, and in
order not to miss the nocturnal
strokes 'of his improvised clock has
built his bed near it in the tree top,
and sleeps there, awaking promptly

Training Canaries to Sing.
The musical academy of the ca
nary breeder has its professors, the
stamp of whose style is left on the
pupils as distinctly as that of the vo
cal expert influences the students of
the conservatory. Every breeder
makes it his business to be constantly
on the lookout for old cock birds of re
pute as songsters. These are never
used for breeding, but are usually
kept in small, darkened cages. They
are the masters on which the musical
education of the young birds depends.
When the nestlings are about six
weeks old, the cocks are taken away
and put in a large cage until they
have developed properly. After two
months they are put singly into small
er cages, and placed in a room with
the master bird, yet so that they can
not see each other. Now comes the
testing of the young voices, and the
breeder listens carefully to judge
their quality and the progiess the
birds are making.
The best singers are picked out
and put into what are called “sing
ing boxes,” small wire, darkened ca
ges, placed innide a tin box. At one
side is a curtain, which is withdrawn
when the bird is to sing. The great
est care is taken that the canaries
never hear an inferior bird, or, in fact,
any other sort of bird as they are apt
quickly to learn wrong notes, and so
spoil their song.
The birds too, are kept very quiet,
and allowed to sing only under pleas
ant conditions, as it is considered
that any kind of disturbance or fright
is likely to create a broken, jerky
kind of melody. The excellence of
the song consists not so much in its
loudness, or even in its tone, as in va
ried repetitions of certain strains,
Each melody has its special name
and the birds are classed according
to the tunes they sing.
There are twenty-two different
strains, and some birds have a com
pass of four octaves. The educa
tion of the canary involves six
months of incessant watchfulness and
activity on the part of the breeder.
When the bird has reached seven
months he is supposed to have ac
quired his musical education, al
though a talented pupil is often left
with the master somewhat longer to
gain special finish.

IJit. W. A. Weight.
An interesting case came before a
Buffalo court the other day. It was
based upon one woman’s remark
about another. “She used pads to
make out her figure and make the
boys thinks she is a stunner,” the de
fendant is alleged to have said of the
plaintiff. The law presumes a defen
dant to he innocent until proven guil
ty. The onus of the burden of proof,
therefore, was upon the plaintiff to
show that she did not use pads, and
that the defendant had slandered her.
The jury was largely composed of un
married men, whose ignorance of
feminine makeups peculiarly fitted
them for rendering impartial judg
ment. After voluminous testimony,
vigorous cross examination and many
explanations, the jury returned a seal
ed verdict.

Wrote lo Her Husband.
The young wife of a busy North
sider is no longer suffering neglect
from her well-intentioned but pre
occupied husband. Here is the story
of how it came about;
“I want you to address this letter
for me,” said she to her friend, then
on a visit to the house.
“Very well, to whom ?”
“To Robert Angesey,” at the
number and avenue.
“What, your own husband, dear?
What under the sun do you mean by
writing to him, and lie at home every
day in the week ?
“I’m going to argue the matter,
and the letter is prepared. You di
rect the envelope so that he will read
the letter from curiosity, if nothing
else. I have no objection to ex
plaining to you in confidence. Rob
ert never seems to have any spare
time to talk things over with me.
When he comes down in the morn
ing he is in a rush and a stew to
reach the office. He bolts his break
fast, kisses me good bye on the run,
and is gone till evening, for he lunch
es down town. At dinner he is in
nervous haste to get away to ‘meet
some business engagement’; runs hur
riedly through his paper, and is gore
again. When he finally reaches home
I am in bed, or we're both so sleepy
that we couldn't talk intelligently if
we wanted to. You, perhaps, won’t
understand, for your knowledge of
married life is a theory. But there
are some things about which he and
I must consult. I have to manage
the affairs of this house, and I want
his advice. I, at least, would like to
have him manifest a little interest,
and I rather think that his approval
would do me lots of good.”
The letter was mailed. The hus
band laughed hilariously. Then a
sober second thought took possess
ion of him. He and his little wife
are full partners now, and she looks
like a bride once more.—Pittsbmg

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Dickens ami His Cat.
Charles Dickens was a lover of
cats. He owned a large white one
named Williamina who selected a
corner of his study for her kittens
and brought them in from the kitch
en one by one. Dickens had them
taken away again, but Williamina
persisted in bringing them back. The
third time of their removal she did
not leave them in the corner, but
instead placed them at her master’s
feet and taking her stand beside
them, looked imploringly up at him.
Most of the family were finally given
away; only one remained. The little
creature followed I )ickens about like
a dog and sat beside him while he
wrote. One evening the author was
reading at a small table upon which
was a lighted candle: As usual the
cat was at his elbow. Suddenly the
light went out. Dickens was much
interested in his book and relighted
the candle. It was only when the
light became dirn again that he
turned suddenly around and found
the kitten deliberately putting the
light out with her paw, She was
lonely, she wanted to be petted, and
this was her device for bringing it

In the companion with whom she
chose to spend her life. George
Eliot had the most unbounded and
unusual sympathy. She was invigo
rated into doing her greatest and
best by a man, who, whatever else
may be said of him, appreciated her.
He seemed to have been the bass
chord which the mysterious hand
that played upon her life’s strange
keys struck to bring out the melody.
Much in her sensitive self-distrust,
something in her large, slow moving
temperament might well have pre
vented her from discovering herself.
No half-ripened life could have given
us her work. No solitary creature
could have written “Romola” or
“Adam Bede,” and “Middlemarch”
could not have sprung from a fani
ished heart. It needs a full life, full

pour out the wine she poured. “The

Not Under Control.
Sometimes at sea, a ship is found
fiying the signal, “Not under control.”
That is a very terrible signal. So
long as the machinery and rudder
and the rigging are sound, and the
ship is under complete control, she
may weather the strongest gale; hut
now she lies helpless at the mercy of
wind and wave. No rescuing ship,
even, dare come very near, for “not
under control” means that she is a
menace to others as well as herself.
So in life we find, far too often, a
man whose conduct indicates that
the forces of his life are not under
control. That is a sad and danger
ous condition, dangerous for himself
and for those about him. Safety lies
in keeping the elements of character
so adjusted that they are always un
der control, that thus we may keep
our machinery true to its divine
course.

False Assumption.
One of the frequent sources of re
ligious difficulty and doubt is the as
sumption that life has happiness—
that is, as great a freedom from pain
and as large a share of outward com
fort as possible—for its end and aim.
If that were so, then the course of
God’s providence would be truly per
plexing. If men have a right to hap
piness as they understand it, it is im
possible to square the facts of life
with the faith that God is good, for it
is given to few mortals to he happy.
But this assumption is foreign to all
Bible teaching. Blessedness is the
goal of life according to the gospel,
and blessedness can never be gained
save by the victory over trial and
temptation and the multiform sor
rows of life. If we grasp this fact in
all its hearings we shall be saved from
many heart-breaking fears and un
certainties in the religious life, and
face its conflicts with anew
strengtli and confidence.
