How Hero Captured The Village

Hero waa a great overgrown St. Bernard puppy. Hie coat wax ragged and short about the body, but on his neck It had filled out more ajvd there was a tuft of hair at the end of his tall. In color he waa a tawny yellow. —— Hero was not remarkable In the amount of intelligence he displayed. He had an immense curiosity, however, that brought him a great reputation.

Not having a little master in his home, he had made friends with a hoy who lived at the other end of the small Cape Cod village. The village sights grew tame for Hero when this boy was at school or away from the town. So he often trotted along the dusty highway to the neighboring townß, or followed the sandy coast paths that led over the hills.

On one of these jaunts he turned into a path that led through a growth of scrub pines—a trail that he had never taken before. Beyond these pines, on a hill overlooking the bay, was a group of oottages. Here during the summer months lived a oolony of families from the city. Provision wagons crawled daily through the sand, keeping them In touch with the outside world and the town below. In this way the mail and the day old papers reached them.

In one of . these papers there had appeared the notice of a lion that had broken loose from a traveling circus further up on the Cape. Now it happened at the very moment when Hero came in sight of the cottages, a group of cottagers sat in a little pavilion reading this and wondering whether the lion oould be in the woods near by. Hero ambled Joyously toward the group, when suddenly one of them spied him. With a shriek, “There’s that terrible lion now!” she rushed for the nearest cottage and slammed the door. The others, not so fortunate, huddled In terror In the pavilion. Those who could climbed to Its roof. All the Inmates of the cottages barred and bolted the doors, drew down the shades and waited In terror for a sudden spring through the unprotected glass windows. The dog, startled by the screams, quickened his pace and disappeared over the further side of the hill. Beyond the hill he came out again on the main road and followed it baok horns. After almost an hour had elapsed, a cottager cautiously emerged from his door, pistol in hand, prepared to rescue the people In the pavilion. He wee Joined by another carry*ing a stove poker. Then others appeared armed with table legs, carring knives, rakes and shovels. As they grew braver, they mada a systematic search of the place, and even penetrated a short distance into the woods. But the terrible “King of the Desert” was not to be found. Hero never knew, of course, that he had captured & summer colony, but most of the folk on the Cape who knew him found it out and ha became a great comic hero.

The Care of Canaries.

The first thing to consider in looking after the comfort and happiness of the canary is its cage. Have as large a one as possible. This gives chance for exercise. A good cage Is the small sized mocking bird’s cage, which is about 28 inohes long and 11 Inches wide. The absenoe of paint and brass wire makes It mors healthy for a bird, as the former sometimes contains arsenic and the latter become tsuched .with verdlr git% which Is poisonous.

Next, the perches should be of proper size, or rather, sizes. The use of different sized perches enables the bird to exercise all the muscles of the fiset, keeping them in healthy condition. Where little scales upon the bird’s feet and legs cause soreness and lameness, it is well to occasionally cover one of the perches with vaseline, which will rub off on the bird’s feet and soften them.

Perches and cage must always be kept clean, and the little Inmate should be given a bathing dish of clean water every day, leaving him to choose Ms own time for bathing. The cuttle bone should always he within reach for sharpening the bill. Sand is another essential, either put on the floor of the cage or in a dish. This is eaten by the bird and helps digest the food. For food a good quality of seed should be bought, ÜBing two-thirds canary seed and one-third - mixed hemp, millet and rape seed. Occasionally add a pinch of lettuce seed. Then vary the seed diet with lettuce, apple, celery, bread and milk, sugar, hard-boiled eggs, red pepper and onoe in a while even a hit of fat bar con. Grasses In seed and plantln stalks are likewise good. Birds are very sensitive to • draught and should be carefully guarded In this respect. A bird expert advises talking to birds and, if possible, having more than one bird, as the tiny songsters are naturally sociable creatures and suffer from loneliness when put off alone without companionship of any kind.

The Cause of It.

“Say, pa,” began little MDB again, “why—” “Now, see here,” his pa interrupted, “I told you I wouldn't anr swer any more questions. Let this bo the last now. What Is ltf" "I Just wanted to know, pa, why yon don’t answer my questions. !■ It cause you’re Ignorant, or Jest ’cause yer Indigestion’s come oaf

Keeping Ants From Hives.

Set two posts securely, any distance desired;; place a pole on top of these posts, then suspend by wire from this pole any distance desired from the ground a plank (for hives to rest on), secured by these wires. Do not let this plank touch anything. If grass or weeds touch the plank the ants will reach the hives. In case they do, tie wool around these wires and saturate It with coal oil. I have used tlril remedy for more than three years. It never falls. In storing honey in the house* suspend the box from the ceiling by wire.—Field and Farm.

A Cause of Fool Brood.

The German Praktlsche Wegyelser says, “The feeding of farinaceous foods may Induce that contagion—foul brood. Some bee-keep-ers claim to hare observed that bees In the neighborhood of flour-mills, sre most often attacked by that maIndy. It must be admitted thatfloqr which has stood outdoors, apd made damp and moldy by dew or rain, Is not conducive to the health of bees. But we must not conclude from this that such food is the cause of foul brood, for that Is due to a special germ.” The fight is on.—American Bee Journal.

Treating Granulated Honey.

Honey that has granulated in the oomb can. be melted without damage of the oomb by a caretul-manage-ment of the heat; but it is hardly practical or profitable to attempt It. In the case of honey In sections, there is the further disadvantage that the appearance is Injured by the melted honey settling dose against the capplnga, making watery-look-tef eembe. ,
