It seems almost incredible that a could bo taught to speak; nevertholess, thero have been welt authenticated eases in which this seemingly impossible fent has been accomplished. 'The most notable Instance was that of n canary exhibited in London in 1838, and it had a most remarkable history. Its parents had proviously sucessfully reared. several broods, but in the early part of the year in question hatched out but one of four exgs. Strange to suy, they entirely neg- lected. the littic one, and immediately re- built a. nest over it. 'The owners of the birds accidentally discovered. this fact and removed the forsaken one almost dead, | It was placed in flannel by tha fire, and after the greatest attention was restored and raised by haud. \ho fret of its being treated in this man- ner, separated from all other birds, caused it to become very {amilinz with its foster parents, and its first singing notes were on- tirely different from those uttered by or- dinary | caniries. | Being continually ad- dressed In endenting terms by its mistress it astonished ber one day by suddenly rc- peating the words \Kissiet kissie!\ | This became an everyday occurrence, and from time to time other terms were added to its vocabulary, For hours together, except during the nolting season, this extraordinary bird would call out in tones almost as clear as if uttered by a human voice, such sen- tences us \Dear sweeb Titchict\-the name given it by its mistress-\Kiss Minnie!\ \Kigg me, dear Minnic!\ \Kissic! kissfe! kisgle, sweet little Titchiet\ \Weel gee, gee, Titchic, sweet Titchie!\ - It also devel- oped a faculty for whistling, the first bay of \God Suve the Queen\ being its favorite alr. Another talking: canary is said to have beeu exhibited in London in 1899, but all nuthorities ngree that it was in no way (sum! to the one deseribed.-Detroit Free TUsS. delayed, shall come at Why Albinos Do Not Seo Well. According to Dr. A. D. Willinms, the white, flaxen hair of Albinas shows that there is a deficiency of coloring materials in their bodies. - Further proof of this fact is found in the absence of the necessury amount of pigment in their eyes. Such per- sons have pink eyes becnuse there is not pigment enough in the fris and upon its posterior surface to prevent the red reflex of the the fundus from shinthg through the iris. - Albinos are always greatly annoyed by strong light, because there is not sufli- cient coloring to prevent the ingress of a flood of it, the bright glure entering not only through the pupil, but through the substince of the iris as well. Tho choroid beint Hkewisa deficient in pigment, the excessive amount of light dnzzles mnd greatly confuses the vision. Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments in the choroid prevents the light after it his acted en the retina from being ab- sorbed, that being the main function of the choroidal pigment. | Albinism is an unfortunate condition, ns there is no way to supply the deficient pigment to the iris and choroid.-St. Louis Republic. Ie Was the Follow. - Wiggins was harassed by the possession of expensive tastes and the non-possession of monns to gratify them-a combination of circumstances which, being known, made {t extremely difficult for him to no- gotiatoeven a loan of ten shillings from his nssociates. Parkin, in particular, used to congratulate himself on the fact that Wig- gins had never beca in his books for ever so small an amount, ind steadinstly pur- posed that he never would be. Unfortu- nately for Parkin, however, he was fond of a practical joke, and it was this fret that interfered with the success of his prudent determination. A number of them were sitting in the club reading room one day, when Wiggins whispered to Parkin: \Lob me have a fiver fora fow minutes, till F put up a joke ou ane of the fellows.\ Parkin, ready for some fun, and suspect ing nothing, handed him a five pound note, and was surprised a fow minutes afterward to see Wisgina using it to pay sundry little losses ab cards, including a evidently borrowed. \I say, Wiggins,\ he cried in amaze ment, \I thought you were going to raise a Inugh on one of the fellows with that five pound note?\ \So I am,\ explained Wiggins \you arg the fellow.\-Loudon Tit-Bits. The Miser in Donth. . 'The dead of a gravoyard sab in their tombs, for now it was the feast of the Melad, when the dead aro as alive and muy walk the earth for a night, and neither the angel Moonkir questions nor the angel Nekeer forbids. But many missed their bones, and wailed with vain rattle of speech, till one, which was a miser, with dry lnughter spake: \What need have I to walk? Here be bones to sell.\ Then a woman gave for a leg bone a ring, and another a fillet of gold for a hand, and thus there was soon left of him only a skull, aud to that skull some treasures. - Theso others stumbled away rejoicing, and as the muczzin sounded the first sunrise call to prayer clattered Into their graves. | Bub ab morning came down from the palms monkeys, and took the misot's skull for a football, | 'The gold and jowels a beggar found, nud the fakir and Buf speaker of verse, Ferishtah, who saw all this wonder, said, \As the living, so ate the dead.\\-Century.

A DEAD SHOT, In the summer of 1874, when Martin G. Scott was a much slimmer, more daudified looking man than he is now, there were sented at one of thelittle round marble tables before the Cafe Ricci, in the Boule vard des Italions, in Paris, two young Frenchmen, the cheek of oncof whom bore a red mark as if some one had brought his hand sharply against it, | In ao inner room of the eafe the person who had done this was engaged in wiping away from his shirt front the stnins of some red wine which in iis fury the recipient of the slap had hurled nevoss the table. 'The man with the red cheek was the young Adolphe Fer- vier, the son of the celebrated artist of that rame. The man with thesoiled shirk front was Martin G. Scoth, of Mobile, Ala, Thero had been an exchange of cards, and Scott and his friend, George B. Wain wright, twelve hours later suddenly found themselves with a large sized, healthy French quarrel on theiv hands to be set- tled, as most of those matters aro in France, under the code. - When it came to i choice of weapons Scott bad wisely chosen pistols, for, while he wis a notoriously bad shot, ho was totally ignorant of the use of the rapier. The affair was to come off ab Auvergts, a little village distant about nine miles from Paris, in forty-eight hours'. time, The partics were to go out on the early train. 1 doubt if Seott was so much eut about the affair as Wainwright, even though ho fully expected to be killed. Wainwright kept on blaming himself for having les his friend got into such a serape. | It was to be no child's play. They were to front twelve paces, and to continue firing until one of the parties was disabled. 'The more Wainwright thought over the affair the more he realized what an awe ward job he had upon his hands. He lay awake all night .at his hotel, ve- volving seme plan by which they could get out of the. scrape. | He had frequently seen Ferrier practicing aba fashionable pistol gallery in the Ruo du Capacines. He knew that he spent the best part of every evening thero in ringing the bell on the target, to accomplish which fent, asevery one knows, it is necessary to hit the bull's eye, .Wain- wright arose early with a plan fully thought out. \Come he said to Scoth, \\we hnven't too much time before us, | We must go down to Mnupassant's gallery and got some practice. | You stay hero and have some breakfast. I don't caro to eat so carly. ['ll run down thero and see if we can't geb the gallery all to ourselves for a couple of hours.\ \That will be pretty costly, won't 16?\ hazarded Scott. j \Nob more than a decent coffin and all the other funoral fixings,\ replied Wain wright with some little sarcasm. \If pos sible 1 want to throw those expenses on the other fellow.\ Wainwright jumped into a cab and dnshed off to the Gallery Maupassant where for upward of half an hour ho re inained closoted with its proprictor. \It's ngreed, then,\ said Wainwright ab the conclusion of the interview. \Now then, M. Maupassant, thero are 250 france down. The remainder of the 500 you get if the duel doesn't come off.\ \Agreed said the Frenchman, and he sat down and wrote ab least twenty letters like the following. \M Manpassant requests the pleasure of your company tomorrow afternoon nt 3 o'clock to witness the phenomenal shoot ing of an American gentleman, who has kindly consented to give an exhibition of his skill at that hour,\ While M. Maupassant was thus engaged Wainwright putin half an hour making sundry purchases, returning with them to the gallery, whore the next hour was profitably employed by him in company with an ingenious mechanic. Meantime, as the idea grew upon the mind of M. Mnupassant, ho chuckled and wrote, extending his invitations, until, if one-half of them were accepted, the ques- tion was, would there be standing room in the gallery? \We must certainly go down and seethis American shoob,\ said M. Ferrier's second. \You may lind some of his tricks useful to you at Auvergne tomorrow?\ M. Ferrier, whose courage was not of the B-o'clock-in-the-morning | kind - shivered slightly, though the weather was decidedly warm. \I wish that fellow had chosen rapiers,\ he muttered. - \These Americans are such devils with the pistol,\ Tt was 8 o'clack in the afternoon. M. Muupassant's gallery was crowded. M. Ferrier had am excellent sent | He sib talking with his friend and second. - He lind been drinking somewhat to keep his courage up, and his voice could be heard all over the room. - With a Frenchman's love of gossip, his second had talked freely of the meeting of the morrow. As the American had not yet come a dozen voices called on Ferrier to step down and get some practice and amuse the com- pany ab the same time. c Ferrier, who was a really good shot, wis not a little proud of it, and with such an audience he was not slow to avail himself ' of the opporttnity thus afforded of display ing his skill. Throwing off his cont hestepped down on to the floor of the gallery, and picking up a pistol marked two bull's eyes in rapid succession. His third bullet went just above, however -an inch nt least to the right. \Your pistol is a little heavy on the trig» gor, monsieur,\ said a voice behind him. Turning quickly, he recognized Wain- wright, who wis standing quietly by, a smile full of meaning in his bluo eyes, as Ferrier, quite disconcerted now, fired again and missed for the second time. At this mement a side door in the gallery opened, and scrupulously attired and hold- ing in either hand a long dueling pistol of American manufacture came Scott, who, being introduced to the audience, bowed, while M. Maupassant said: \Mousicur Scoté has kindly consented to give us an exhibition with the pistol.\ Mr. Scott bowed again, and so much was the attention of the audience riveted upon him that no one noticed Wainwright stand- ing quictly against the wal}, feeling cau- tiously with his hands behind him for a small, round, white object. Afr. Scott bowed onee more profoundly to his distinguished 'nudience. Especially did he extend his salutation to that por- tion of the room where, pale As death, now sat the thoroughly alarmed \M. Ferrier, and who in the redoubtable American marksman had recognized the man he had fnsuited at the Cafe Riccl. ~ \T will now give you an imitation,\ said Scott, in an offhand manner, \of an western cowhoy practicing on the' head of a ten: penny nail at fifty paces. I will fire first ab the Inrgoe bull's eye, so as to get my hand in.\ He lifted the two long duelling pistols. and fired from them alteroately, pulling the triggers liko lightning. Above the naigo of tho explosion could be heard +..~ tinkling of the bells as each bulleb struck fair and square in the center. When the smoke cleared away not a mark was visible on the white portion of the tarect. . Ho lind fired twelve shots aud every'bulles had strutk the bull's oye. Scotb turned and bowed. modestly to. his audience In acknowledgment of a vocifer- ous round of applause. ~ As before, he looked over to the sent oc- cupied by AL Ferrier, 'The Frenchman's face looked more anxious than ever, and he exchanged hurried whispers with his second. - \IIl now show you, gentlemen,\ con tinued Scott, \n somewhat more difficult feat.\ Ho took a pistol and threw it toward the ceilling, and, catching it in his hand as it descended, pulled the trigger. A loud ringing of the bell announced that the bullet had again struck the bull's eye. * \Mon Dicut\ whispered Ferrier, who was now in a clammy sweat through fear. \He will drop me at the first shot.\ Scotb now took n small Winchester rifle from the hands of M. Maupassant, and, placing ib over his shomlder, turned his back to the target und faced a large mirror where the same was reflected. Starting from the firing point and walle ing slowly toward the mirror, he fixed his |. eye steadfastly upon the reflection of the target and repldly worked the crank/of the Winchester, As before, every one of the sixteen bullets struck the bull's eye, and the bell was ringing almost continuously, A perfect hurricane of applause now shook the gallery. | M. Maupassant smiled all over, and several French gentlomen left their seats and crowded around the Amer- ican, offering their congratulations at the marvelous skill which he had displayed. Among the latter was the second of M. Ferries. Of course we shall meet you, M. Reotb,\ he said, \but I trust you will spare us. No- body his a chance who stands up before you.\ Ho was evidently as much frightened as his principal. Now was Wainwright's opportunity. He stepped forward and said to the little group: . \Gentlemen can't this matter bopatched tip in some way? You see the kind of a whot my friend is. | He hates to take life.\ \PH see what L can d6,\ said M. Ferrier's second eagerly, and he dived over to. his principal. \Well if you won't apologize you're an idiot. | This thine tomorrow you will be in the hands of the undertaker, 1 tell you Tl have nothing to do with the murder.\ 'his settled poor Ferrier. Choking down his humiliation, he stammered out: \Well you may apologize for me !f you like. I's a dreadful thing to do, bub I suppose I must. | I certainly can't afford to dieat my age, and with my prospects; bus E shall nover hold up my bead at the club again.\ Ferviers second then tendered n hand- some apology to Scott, who, with n mag- nanimity which provoked applause, there- upon immediately apologized also, which so affected M. Ferrier that, after the fushion of his countrymen, he would hive thrown himself on M. Scoi#'s breast and wept. Aud thus was the duel between M. Scott and M. Ferrier neatly averted by the in- gonuity of M. Wainwright. M. Miupassant was a distingt gainer by the hoax, forin addition to- the splendid reputation ib gave his gallery, he imme- diately received the remaining 250 {rance from M. Wainwright. The electric bell, wire and batteries which Wainwright had purchased that morhing, and with the aid of the ingenious mechanic put in such ad- mirable working order, were also given by Wainwright to the worthy proprietor of the gallery, whe instantly disposed of the whole outfit for cash, even to the little button which Wainwright had pressed so efficiently every time his friend Scotb fired off his blank cartridges. And Scott! Well, he was the hero of Paris for ab least a fortnight, and was pointed out on the boulevards as the greatest shot in the world. - His popularity continued until a ballet dancer in black skirts caught the public fancy and cut him out And thus it is ever with \the bubble, reputation.\- Austyn Granville in Romance. Custom and Dueling. There are three questions to be asked nbout every custom. | In what place has it prevailed, nt what date, and in which class? There is the custom of dueling, for ex- ample, once prevalent but now extinct in England, still surviving in France and elsewhere, but especinlly in France. If you ask the third question, \In which class?\ you find that dueling occurs most frequent ly among journalists and politicians, more rarely among officers; | Lawyers do not often-dight; the duel very seldom happens in the commercial classes, while among peasants, clergymen and. professors it never happens at all, 'The custom is not national in the sense of being general in the nation, 4b is a class custom only, and ehiofly local: ized in Paris. If from the custom you go to the opinion about its moral value, you find a wide spread disapprobation, joined to a feeling that in certain cases itis inevitable, and that ibis salutary as a discipline in cour age. Present English opinion looks upon dueling with contempt, but this is quite a modern opinion, due in part to the notion that itis French. If wo ask what moral guidanceis to be had from custom and opinion in regard to dueling, the answer must be that such guidance can have no positive character, that it is not universal but local, and that even in the town where dueling most prevails the opinion that im- poses it is nothing but a class opinion. Now is therb any reason for nesuming that the duel, even-in the classes which now practice it, will be a permanent insbi- tution. It now usually stops at the first wound, however slight, which is a sign of decadence, and it may become extinct in a hundred years.-G..P. Hamerton in Con- temporary Review. flis Doots Were Waiting. Rather a mixture of metaphor is given in the following personal in .a French paper? \Come back, Charles; all is ex: ptained, dear; the house is sad without you, and your boots, brightly polished, are standing in the ball, wasting: their sweet nees on the desert aly,\-Irish Times ______- Hereditary Tramps.
