Canaries Steamship Pets
Few and far between are the steam
ships entering the port of Boston that
cannot boast of a canary No matter
Iioav battered and rusty the craft may
be one is pretty sure to find the canary
somewhere in the rooms of the officers
or crew Its cage as a rule is a won
derful creation of brass wire and lace
and the canary himself usually Is a
singer whose trill and whistle are of
the best The little songsters appear
to enjoy life ou the ocean Seldom are
they inconvenienced by the motion of
the vessel and tue more the cage
rswsngs from its hook the more they
warble Sailons will tell you a canary
is a mascot Be that as it may the
cauaries are great pets Frequently
one may see a sailor on the water
front lugging his bird and cage to
some new berth Boston Herald

the table and was compelled to give
that part of the steak to my wife A
I year ago I invited her to sit at the
I head of the table and do the carving
Finee which time I have always had
lle tenderloin for she politely gives
me the best cut which I accept indif
ferently as though I do not know what
It is I respectfully lay the suggestion
before the Society of Chuck Eating
