An Qld Rabbit Story, We And in the esteemed Savannah Morning News this thinly concealed disparagement of The Post's preten sions to pre-eminence in rabbit ' re search: . v "The rabbit editor 'of the Washing ton Post has, received and published a circumstantial story of a bunny..that, attacked by. a big hound, turned upon his tormentor and so seriously wound ed him that the dog quit the fight howling and ran away and died. It is a very good rabbit story. But we submit that it is not quite so good as that narrative, which wo printed some time ago, of the Georgia rabbit that fought and killed a rattlesnake and then made a meal off the snake's head. In support of the Georgia rab bit story, we saw a photograph of the rabbit." . m , , All we have to say on this ' point is that the story about the rattle-. CLUB LIST.

Mr. Thompson-Seton saw the deadly reptile as it advanced upon the rabbit's nest, and saw that dauntless animal attack it, with the fatal results already recorded. Moreover, The Post has more than once referred to the in cident in support of rabbit theories which may have startled the thought less and uninformed, but which have never been successfully confuted. It may be well to add that the Vir ginia incident of the murdered hound came to us duly authenticated, and is entitled to the most respectful, not to say unquestioning, acceptance. There is nothing the matter with our rabbit stories except the astonishment with which they are received by an honest but benighted minority. Washington Post. Caring for the Canary. Nearly all ailments of the canary are caused by colds, improper foods or, lack of care. The seeds put up in pack ages should not be used, as it is gen erally poor stuff, principally millet and hemp, neither of which should be giv en in large quantities. Millet acts as a laxative, and hemp causes fat and disease. Three-fourths of a pound of best qanary seeds to one-fourth of sev eral kinds equally mixed, is a. good pro-portiori; Do not feed the bird cakes and sweets. Always keep a piece of cuttlefish bone and a tiny bag of sul phur suspended in the cage. Rolled oats, German rape, Indian millet, Turkish mace seeds, with fine gravel, lettuce (seed or green), plainteln i or peppergrass seeds ara all good.

If the bird sifs with its feathers all puffed up in the (lay time, give it rr.d pepper and tiny scraps of fat pork twice a week; if constipated, give green food, apple, or a few flax seeds, for watery evacuations, feed princi pally on hard hoiled egg for a' day or two, and keep, a- rusty nail in its drink ing water. A red, pepper pod should be hung in the cage, as pepper is a tonic, and healthful. 1 m t yAtt I - .
