It seems almost incredible that a canary could bo taught to speak; nevertholess, thero have beon well authenticated cases in which this seemingly impossible fent has been accomplished. The most notable instance was that of n canary exhibited in London in 1858, and it had a most remarkable history. Its parents had proviously successfully renved several broods, but in the erly part of the year in question hatched out but one of four exgs, Strange to say, they entirely neg- lected the little one, and immediately re- bullt a nest over it. 'I'he owners of the birds accidentally discovered. this fact and removed the forsken one almost dead, | Ib was placed in flannel by the fire, and after the greatest attention was restored and mised by haud. Tho fact of fts being treated in this man- ner, separated from all other birds, caused 16 to become very fnmilinz with its foster parents, and its first singing notes were on- tirely different from those uttered by or- dinary - cansdies. | Being: continually nd- dressed. in endenting terms by its mistress, it astonished her one day by suddenly re- penting the words \Kissie! kissie!\ | This became an everyday occurrence, and from time to time other terms were added to its vocabulary. For hours together, except during the molting season, this extraordinary bird would call out in tones almost ns clear as if uttered by a human voice, such sen- tonces as \Dear sweet Titchiet\-the naine given 1b by its mistress-\Kiss Minnict\ \Kigg mo, deiw Minnic!\ \Kissicl kissie! kissle, sweet little Titchie!\ \Weel gee, gee, Titchie, sweek Fitchiet\ - It also devel- oped a faculty for whistling, the first bar of \God Save the Queen® being its favorite ( Another talking eimary is said to havo beeu. exhibited in London in 1839, but all nuthoritics agree that Ib was in no way watt! to the one described.-Detroit Free Why Albinos Do Not Seo Well. According to Dr. A. D. Willinms, the white, flaxen hair of Albinos 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 rmownt of pigment in their eyes, Such per- sons hinvo pink eyes because thero is not pigment enough in the iris and upon its posterior surface to prevent the red reflex of the the fundas from shinihig through the iris. - Albinos are always greatly annoyed by strong light, because there is uot sufli- clont coloring to prevent the ingress of r ftood of it, the bright glure entering not only through the pupil, but through the substance of the iris as well, 'The choroid being likewise deficient in pigment, the excessive amount of light dazzles and grently confuses the vision, Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments in tho choroid prevents the light after it his acted en the retinr from being ab- sorbed, thit being the main function of the choroidal pigment. | Albinism is an unfortunate condition, nis there is no way to supply the deficient pigment to the iris and chorold.-St. Louis Republic. Ife Was the Follow. «Wiggins was harassed by the possession of exponsivo tastes and the non-possession of means to gratify them--a combination of cirenmstances which, being known, made {6 extremely difficult for him to no- gotintoeven a loan of ten shillings from his Associates. | Parkin, in particular, used to congratulate himself on the fact that Wig- gins had never been in his books for ever so small an nmount, and steadfastly pur- posed that he never would be. Unfortu- nately for Parkin, however, he was fond of a practical joke, and it was this fact that interfered with the success of his prudent determination. A number of them were sitting in the club reading room ono day, when Wiggins whispered to Parkin: \Lob mo have n fiver for a few minutes, till I put up a joke on one of the fellows.\ Parkin; rewly for some fun, amd suspect ing nothing, handed him a five pound noté, snd was surprised a few | minutes nfterward to see Wixgins using it to pay sundry little losses at cards, including a sovereign to Diggins, evidently borrowed. \I say, Wiggins,\ he cried in amaze ment, \I thought you were going to raise a laugh on one of the fellows with that five pound note?\ \So-I am,\ explained Wiggins \you are the fellow.\ Tit-Bits.

Hero be bones to sell.\ Then a woman gave for a leg bone a ring, and another a fillet of gold for a band, and thus there was soon left of him only a skull, and to that skull some treasures. - These others stumbled away rejoicing, and as the muezzin sounded the frst suntlso call to prayer clattered into their graves. But at morning came down from the palms monkeys, and took the n{ser's skull for a football. | The gold aud jewels n beggar found, and the fakir and Sufl speaker of verse, Ferishtab, 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 dandified looking man than he is now, there were seated ab one of the little round marble tables before the Cafe Ricci, in the Boule vard des Italiens, in Paris; two young Frenchmen, the cheek of one of whom bore ar red mark as if some one had brought his hand sharply against it. | In an inner room of the enfe the person who had done this was engaged in wiping away from his shirt front the strains of some red wine which in his fury the recipi¢nt of the slap had hurled neross the gable. 'The man with the red cheek was the young Adolphe For- rier, the son of the celebrated artist of that pame. The man with thesoiled shirt front was Martin G. Scott, of Mobile, Aln. There had been an exchange of cards, and Scott and his friend, George E. Wain wright, twelve hours later suddenly found themselves with a large sized, healthy French quarrel on theiv hands to he set tled, as most of those matters aro in France, under the code. When it came to a choice of weapons Scott had wisely chosen pistols, for, while he was a notoriously bad shot, ho was totally ignorant of the use of the Tapicr. The affair was to come off at Auvergne, a little village distant about nine miles from Paris, in forby-cight hours' time. The partics were to go out on the early train. I doubt if Scott was so much eut about the affair as Wainwright, even though ho fully expected to be killed. Wainwright kept on blaming himself for having let his friend get into such a serape. | Tt was to be no child's play. 'They were to firoat 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 awl ward job he had upon his hands. He lay awake all night at his hotel, re- volving seme plan by which they could get out of tho.serape. | He had frequently seen Ferrier practicing aba fashionable pistol gallery in the Ruo du Capreines. He knew that he spent the best part of every evening there in ringing the bell on the target, to accomplish which feat, asevery one knows, it is necessary to hit the bull's eye. . Wain- wright arose early with a plan fully thoughs out. \Come he said to Scoth, \we haven't too much time before us. | We must go down to Maupassant's gallery and get some practice. You stay here and have some breakfast. I don't care to eat so carly. ['ll run down there and seo if we can't get the [gallery all to ourselves for a couple of hours.\ \Phat will be pretty costly, won't 16?\ hazarded Scott. j \XMot more than a decent coffin and all the other funeral 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 dashed off to the Gallery: Maupassant, where for upward of half an hour hore mained closeted with its proprietor, \It's agreed, then,\ said Wainwright at the conclusion of the interview. \Now then, M. Maupassant, there aro 250 francs 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 at least twenty letters tike the following. \\. Manpassant requests the pleasure of your company tomorrow afternoon at 3 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 pubin half an hour making sundry purchases, reburning with them to the gallery, whore the next hour was profitably employed by him in company with an ingenious mechanic. Meantime, as the iden grew upon the inind of M. Maupassant, he chuckled and wrote, extending his invitations, until, if one-half of them were accepted, the ques- tion was, would thero be standing room in the gallery? \Wa must certainly go down and scethis American shoot,\ said M. Ferrier's second. \You may find 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 wenther was decidedly Ward \I wish that fellow had chosen fapiers,\ he muttered. - \These Americans are such devils with the pistol.\ It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon., M. Maupassant's gallery was crowded. M. Ferrier had an excellent sert He sat tulking with his friend and second. - He had 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 faiked freely of.the meeting of the morrow. As the American had not yet come a dozen voices called on Ferrior to step down and get some practica and amuse the com- pany iit the same time. Ferrier, who was a. really good shot, was not a little proud of ib, and with such an nudience he was not slow to avail himself - of the opportunity thus afforded of display: ing his skill. Throwing off his cont he stepped 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 abovo, however -an inch at least to the right. \Your pistol is a little heavy on the trig- gor, monsieur,\ raid a voice behind him. Turning quickly, he recognized Wain- wright, who was standing quietly by, a smile full of meauing in his blue eyes, as Ferrier, quite disconcerted now, fired again and missed for the second time. At this moment a side door in the gallery opened, and serwpulously attired and hoid- ing in either hand a long dueling pistol of American manufacture came Scott, who, being introduced to the mudience, bowed, while M. Maupassant said; \Mousicut Seotb 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 sand- ing quietly against the wall, feeling cau- tiously with his hands behind him for a small, round, white object. Air. Scott bowed once more profoundly to his distinguished 'audience. Especially did he extend his salutation to that por- tion of the room where, pale &s death, now sat the thoroughly alarmed M. Ferrier, and who in the redoubtable American marksman bad recognized the man he had insulted at the Cafe Rice. \I will now give you an imitation,\ said -Scott, In an offhand manner, \of a western cowboy practicing on the head of a ten: penny uail at fifty paces. I will fire first ab this large bull's eye, so as to got my hand im.\ Ho lifted the two long duelling pistols. and fired from them alternately, pulling the triggers like lightning. - Above the noise of the explosion could be heard £1.\~ tinkling of the bells as each bullet struck fair and square in the center. When the smoke cleared away not & mark was visible on the white portion of the target. - He had fired twelve shots and every'bullet had strutk the bull's oye. Scott turned and bowed. modestly to his nudience in acknowledgment of a vocifer- ous round of applause. * As before, he looked over to the seat 00- cupied by RL Ferrier. 'The Frenchman's face looked move anxious than ever, and he exchanged hurried whispers with his second. $ \IIL now show you, gentlemen,\ con- tinued Scott, \a somewhat more difficult feat.\ Ho took a pistol and threw it toward the ceiling, 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 Dieu!\ whispered Ferrier, who was now in a clammy sweat through fear, \He will drop me at the firsb shot,\ Scott now took a small Winchester rifle from the hands of M. Maupassant, and, placing it over his shoulder, turned his back to the target and faced a large mirror where the same wis 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 rapidly worked the crank 'of the Winchester. As before, every ono 'of the sixteen bullets struck the bulls 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. Ferrier. - Of course we shall meet you, M. Scott,\ he said, \but I trust you will spare us. No- body) has a chance who stands up before you.\ He 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 bo patched tp in some way? You see the kind of a shot my friend is. - He hates to take life.\ \Til see what L can do,\ said M. Ferrier's second eagerly, and he dived over to his principal. \Well if you won't apologize you're an idiot. - This timo tomorrow you will be in the hands of the undertaker. 1 tell you P'll have nothing to do with the murder,\ This settled poor Ferrier. Choking down his humiliation, he stammered out: \Well you may apologize for me If you 'like. It's a dreadful thing to do, but I suppose I must. I certainly can't afford to die art my age, and with my prospects; bus I shall never hold up my head ab the club again.\ Ferrie's second then tendered a band- some apology to Scott, who, with a mag- nanimity which provoked applause, there- upon immediately npologized ulso, which so alfected M. Ferrier that, after the fashion of his countrymen, he would have thrown himself on M. Scott's breast and wept. And thus was the duel between M. Scott and M. Ferrier neatly averted by the in- genitity of M. Wainwright. M. Mnupsssant was a distingt gainer by the hoax, for in addition to the splendid reputation ib gave his gallery, he imme- diately received the remaining 250 francs from M. Wainwright, 'The electric bell, wire and batteries which Wainwright had purchased that morning, 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 gallory, whe instantly disposed of the whole outfit for cash, even to the little button which Wainwright had pressed so efficiently every time his friend Scott fired off his blank cartridges. And Scoth! Well, he was the hero of Paris for at least a fortnight, and was pointed oub on the boulevards as the greatest shot in the world. His popularity continued until a ballot 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 Duoling. There are three questions to be asked about every custom. | In what place has it prevailed, ab what date, and in which class? Flyere is the custom of dueling, for ex- ample, once prevalent but now extinct in «England, still surviving in France and elsewhere, but especially 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-fight; 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, it is a class custom only, and ehiefly 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 ib is salutary as a discipline in cour age. Present English opinion looks upon dueling with contempt, but this is quite a inodern opinion, due in part to the notion that itis French. If we ask what moral guidanceis to be had from eustom 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 thero any reason for assuming that the duel, even in the classes which now practice it, will bo. a permanent insti- tution. Ib now usually stops at the first wound, however slight, which is a sign of decadence, and it may become extines in a hundred: years.-G., P. Hamerton in Con- temporary Review. His Goots Were Waiting. Rather a mixture of metaphor is given in the following personal in .a Erench paper:? \Come back, Charles; all is ex- ptained, dear; tho house is sad without you, and your boots, brightly polished, are ftunding in the ball, wasting their sweet nees on the desert air.\-Irish Times \_________-- Woereditary Tramps. 'The French naturalist Bonpland, no- ticed that sen turtles get restless in captiv- ity at the time of the year when their par- entcLised to begin their annual migration to the breeding grounds, and for similar reasons the nomads of modern civilization may prefer the hardships of vagrancy to the comforts of indoor life.
