TH FIRST step, of course, is to show this fierce bird that you are absolutely fear- less and unafraid. Approach its cage, look- ing it steadily in the eye, and regard it with amused indifference as it dashes itself fero- ciously against the bars in its eager efforts togetatyou. Later place it near a pianola, and for some days play this instrument in- cessantly within the hearing of the helpless bird. It will be found that the subjugating influence of the pianola has so tamed its spirit that it is thoroughly amenable to con- trol, fearing a second dose of the instru- mental music. Even a child may now ap- proach and fondle it without fear. Care should be taken at all times, from the be- ginning of the taming process and after- ward, that no meat of any kind be fed to the canary. A meat diet causes them to relapse again into a state of uncontrollable savagery. How To Make a Cabinet Pudding. This would be a pudding for a carpenter, but any good housesmith can also make it if he exercises care and discretion. First, take five or six pieces of cherry wood and polish with shoe or stove polish until they shine. See that the doors of the cabinet pudding do not stick. When the cabinet pudding is done, fill with butter, meat, and vegetables. How To Make a Pinwheel of a Fifty- dollar Bill. Take a fifty-dollar bill and cut an inch and ahalf off eachend. This will make the larger portion a perfect square. Now, with a pair of scissors, cut carefully from the corners almost to the center. Fold over the alternate corners, so that you can stick a diamond pin through the four corners and through the center of the fifty-dollar bill. MODERN DOMESTIC DRAMA, “WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH FATHER >” (NOW PLAYING.) ae HER RAIN-BEAU. Fasten to the top of a stick by means of the diamond pin; but if a diamond pin cannot be secured, use an ordinary pin. Only new fifty-dollar bills should be used, as old bills do not possess the requisite stiffness. This makes a very pleasing toy for a little girl who likes to see the money fly around, and also for little girls who like to blow money. How To Cheer Up the Hall Bed- room. The little hall bedroom can be made bright and cheerful by the ex- penditure of a few pennies and a lit- tle time. One sweet young girl I know, a stenographer, who paid only two dollars and fifty cents a week for her hall bedroom, made it the envy of the household by the care and at- tention which she gave it, making it a perfect little bower of daintiness. For ten cents she bought a bottle of gold paint, and one Sunday morning transformed her plain iron bed into areplica of a beautiful, gold-painted bed, much nicer than the brass ones which cost a great deal of money. She made curtains for the windows from cheese cloth, laboriously col- lected from the cheese used in the boarding-house, the landlady having consented to remove the cloth each time she bought a new cheese. These curtains were dainty and wholesome, and gave the room a fresh appearance, and drew forth many compliments from the boarders in this establishment.
