LOSSES IN CANA.RIES. Irreparable Damage to 'Famous In- dustry By Floods. The canary breeding industry, for which Norwich, England, is fern- -I:me:all ',ever the world, has suffered irreparable damage,and theusancis of thestreasured birds of working- men fanciers in the Heigham dis- trict are 'clrowne,d. The devastated Heigham district- was the centre of -the, canary -breeding industry for which Norwich is so well known. The turnover in canaries has not been less than ;B20,000 a year, and a large proportion of the 3,000 breed- ers in .Norwich are working men, who supplement their wages as boot and _shoe 'oPeratives and, Mechanics by the sale of birds. .The practice was to keep the birds in a specially •constructed shed in the back garden, and the 'floods in their rush swept hundreds of the aviaries away and drowned ail the birds. • • Many .famotes strains of caearies have been wiped out altogether.

TASTE. WINE FOR A LIVING. Women Who Have Been Successful , In Peculiar Occupation. Of the list of strange callings followed by women-, that of wine - tasting is one of the most curious and lucrative. As a matter of faot, Mlle. golliriere, whose • servioes are in- great demand in France, Ger- many and, ,Italy as a wine -taster, is said,to make an income of about 25 ,000 ' a year, many firms employ- ing .her for regular work an,d fre- quently for special duty, says Tit-. Bits. Only half a dozen women wine. tasters have been known to history, the meet renowned of these being •the wife of a famous London wine merchant, Mme. Pommery, • who died in Paris twelve years ago, and Signora Sousa, who ha,s a great re- putation in Spain on account of her judgment and knowl,edg•e of wine. Wine -tasters, ,it a.ppears, are born, not made ,and must possess the gift of a rare and delicate pal- ate. To this, of ourge, must be added a knowledge of wines. Mlle. Collinere's ta,ste is so fine and 'her 'knowledge of winos' such that she can discern from the first taste of a wine just where the grapes grew _ Iathe midst of the sea — About •from which it was made, whether half way across.

ME SUNDAY SCHOIE SJUY INTERNATIONAL 1,ESSO• N, OCTOBER 6, Lesson I.—Jesus walking on the Sea, Mark 6. 45-56. Golden Text, Matt. 14. 27. Verse 45,—Straightway he con- strained his disciples—Immediately after the miracle of feeding five thousand Jesus dispaeched the twelve, with great urgency, from the scene. The reason for this is given by John only (6. 15), who states that the effect of the miracle upon the -multitude was such that they were about to take him by force and make him king. Jesus • doubtless perceived that the dis- ciples would share in this move- Reent and therefore sent them away in haste. Unto the other side to Bethsaida —They were directed to take a westerly course across the Lake to- ward Bethsaida in Galilee, a fishing village near Capernaum. This vil- lage is not to be confused with Bethsaida Tulles, which was on the northeastern shore and near which occurred the miracle of the loaves and fishes. Luke 9. 10. Mattb.ew's record (14. 22) is simply that they were to go "to the •other' eider," while John (6. 11) says they "were going over the sea unto Caper- naum." Himself sencleth the multitude away—The state of mind of the multitude made the situation cri- tical and necessitated extraordin- ary precaution such as Jesus alone could exercise. 46.—Inth the mountain to pray— One of the mountains near the scene of the miracle. The necessity for prayer grew out of the sudden po- pularitywith which the crowd in- vested Jesus. 47.

A KNIGHTLY RING. How Young Italian King Ruled His Spanish.

Amadeus had to contend not only with the Republicans a,ncl with those who desired the restorae -Eon of the Bourbon dynasty, but also with the country's reetecl pre- judice against "the foreigner." In a book entitled "The Secret Hise tory of the Court of Spain" are given instances of that bravery that won ffir the young Italia,n king the admiration, at least, of his Spanish subjects. - On a hot evening the king and queen. were returning to the palace after listening to !some music in the • gardens of the Buen Retiro, Sud- denly a vehicle opposed the passage of their earriage by crossine just in front. The coa,chman cheeke% the horses and prevented a collision, but just then a shot was dire.eted toward the royal paa•ty. At this the. king sprang boldly to his feet, and exclaimed : , "Here is the king! Fire at him., - not at the ethers -I"' - • But no further attempts were made -at. essassination, and the re - thine reached the palace in safety. • To the king the late hours of the court were particularly disagree- able. At work at six in the laiorn- ing, he rang for his breakfast at eight. Astonishment was on the lackey's face; it had never bee -n customary for their ex -majesties to ` be served before eleven o'elock So Amadeus, to avoid friction; adopted the habit of going to a cafe for his early meal. Thus the maids, who sally forth in Ma,cIrid with baskets on their arms, would often return to tell their mistresses how they • had brushed against his majesty as they dpiidazet.heir business in the market - In one of these early peregrina- tions Amadeus notieed that Caste.= lar, the famous leader of the Riti- publica,n party, raised his ht to him.
