About Parrots.

About Parrots.
Deacon Green was talking about par
rots the other day. He said he once
knew parrot that was not as polite as
"Pippity," the one mentioned in story
called Clover Mountain" The parrot
that he knew would swear whenever he
opened his bill. It had been taught by
the sailors on board the ship in which it
had come from South America. When
the deacon knew it, it belonged TO the
widow of a very strict minister. 1t had
been brought to her by her nephew, a
midshipman, as a Christmas present.
1t was lucky for him, just then, that the
old LADY was stone deaf. She was very
cross with the neighbors when they told
her what wicked words the bird used.
1t was a great pet, and she would not
believe anything bad about it. But at
last it swo-e at a visitor who was Bish-
op, and, soon after, it was no more.
Since the deacon told that story I
have had paragram about another par
rot; one that lived in Edinburgh, Scot
land, five years ago. This one could
laugh, weep, sing songs, make a noise
like " smacking the lips" and talk. His
talking was not merely by rote; he
would speak at the right times, and say
what was just right to be said then and
there. He spoke the words plainly,
bowed, nodded, shook his head. winked,
rolled from side to side, or made other
motions suited to the sense of what he
was saying. His voice was full and
clear, and he could pitch it high or low,
and make it seem joyful or sad. Many
curious tales are told of him, but the
most remarkable thing about him is that
he actually lived and really did the
things named.
That's what the paragram says. Stop
let me think moment. May be that
parrot himself sent it? But no; he
wasn't smart enough for that remem-

second one was over his head, one of
his hind feet striking Tommy, knocking
him senseless to the ground.
Charley, in his fright, ran furiously
around the lot, his nostrils dilating, and
his eyes looking as fierce and fiery as
demon. At length, leaping the fence,
he landed with both of his fore-feet on a
fine young colt which WAS lying on the
other side, crushing it to death almost
instantly.
From thence, maddened with the ever
increasing jingle, he made a circuit
around the meadow, and then started
directly toward the house, as if the
thought had occurred to him that his
master could help him.
Seeing no one at the door, he under
took to leap the fence close by the gate,
as if intending to rush into the house.
But, his feet slipping upon the flag
stones, he fell upon the sharp pickets of
the fence, fatally pierced.
His cries soon brought the family to
the door. There hung poor old Charley
on the fence, grooming, dying. And
o what looks he gave looks mingled
with fright and Distress and which
seemed to say imploringly, "Can't you
20 can't you help me p
Every little while, by great effort,
he would raise his head and cast such a
pitiful look upon his master and others
who were there; and great tears ran
down his face as If he were crying like q
child.
And there, before he could possibly
be removed, surrounded by group who
were all in tears, poor old Charley, faith
full and true, the pet of the household,
died, his head resting tenderly upon his
masters arm
Tommy didn't know the extent of the
mischief he had done, but he had picked
himself up, and knew enough to run into
the barn and hide to avoid his richly de-
served punishment. But, upon being
brought from his hiding place, he con-
fessed to all which have told you, and
from that day to this, though he is now
a full-grown man, Tommy has played no
more of his tricks on man or beast

OF Bearing with the Fault. of Osher,.

Those things that man cannot amend
in himself or in others, he ought to
suffer patience until God order them
otherwise.
Think that perhaps it Is better so for
thy trial and patience, without which all
our good deeds are not much to be
esteemed.
Thou ought to pray notwithstanding
when thou hast such impediment, that
God would vouchsafe to help thee, and
that thou mayest bear them rightly.
If one that is once or twice warned will
not give over, contend not with him;
but commit all to God, that His will may
be done, and His name be honored in all
His servants, who well knoweth how to
turn evil into good.
Endeavor to be patient in bearing with
the defects and infirmities of others, OF
what sort soeyer they b0: for that thy
self also have many failings which must
be borne with by others
If thou canst not make myself such an
one az thou Weuldst, how Fcanst thou
expect to have another in all things to
thy liking.
We would willingly have others per-
feet, and yet we amend not our own
faults.
We will have Others severely cor
Tected, and will not be corrected our
selves.
The large liberty of others displeaaeth
us; and yet we will rot have our own
desires denied us.
We will have Others kept under by
strict laws, but in no sort will ourselves
be restrained.
And thus it appeareth, how seldom we
weigh our neighbor in the same balance
with ourselves.
If all men were perfect, what would we
have to suffer of our nei ghbor for the sake
of Godf
But now God hath thus ordered it,
J that we may learn to bear one another's
burdens; for no man is without fault :;
no man but hath his burden; no man is
sufficient of himself; no man is wise
enough of himself, but we ought to
| bear with one another, comfort one
another, help, instruct and admonish one
| another.
Occasions of adversely best discover
| how great virtue and strength each one
! hath.
Fer occasions do not make man frail,
but they show what he is Thomas a.

A PoInt-BIank shot.

A man of uneasy conscience, sitting
in church during a faithful sermon, is
quite apt to hear something which
exactly hits his case. Mr.. Moody has
in several instances been accused of
being in collusion with some enc to learn
a particular hearers private affairs, so
exactly did he describe that hearers
circumstances and state of mind.
Perhaps the most remarkable example
of this close tallyirg occurred in Mr..
Spurgeon's experience while preaching
az Surrey gardens. In the course of a
sermon he said 81 There's q man there
who is shoemaker. He keeps his shop
open on Sabbath and last Sabbath he
sold goods that came to the value of
ninepence, and there was fourpence profit
out of it."
Directly in front of the preacher there
was a shoemaker who had done that very
thing. He was a Sabbath breaking
man, and the Sabbath before he had
sold a pair of child's shoes for ninepence,
and fourpence was just the profit.
The man had come out of curiosity
to hear that queer fellow SpurgeOn, .
and he sat amazed to hear his case
pictured so perfectly. But instead
Of getting angry and declaring that some
body had been telling Mr.. Spurgeon
about him he went home after service,
COMPOUNDED and frightened. The impress
sion wore away during the week-partly
but next Sabbath he found he could moi

How Rubber Balls ara Maas.

The process of making the hollow rub
Der balls used by children for play
things is quite curious, and may be in
teresting to those not familiar with it.
A Holyoke writer thus describes it The
upper room of the mill is prepared to
push this branch of the business for a
few months, and it will probably turn
out some $4,000 dozen of those balls be-
tween January and June. These balls
have solid surface, are made by a diff
ferent process from that Of making the
soft rubber balls which ara perforated by
an opening, and of course, are much
more firm, durable and elastic. The
sheets of rubber prepared for the balls
are cut into strips of double convex
shape. The edges of the strips are mois-
tened with a preparation of rubber and
naphtha, by which they are Joined
firmly together, three of the strips being
used for one ball. This part of the work
is done by girls, and q skilIful girl can
earn about $3.50 per day. When the
strips are Joined together, the ball is
very near the shape of 8 Brazil nut.
Refore the last opening is closed, small
quantity of carbonate of ammonia is put
inside, which, when subjected to strong
heat, will make the rubber expand and
FILL out the ball mold. The opening is
then closed with the adhesive mixture.
and it is placed in an iron mold of the
size and shape of the ball desired. The
molds are packed into frames in which
they are subjected to the heat of the
vulcanizer. They are kept in place in
the frame by iron rods along the side.
and, when the frame is full, iron plates
at the ends are screwed down tightly
upon the molds to hold them in place.
These iron plates are about three-fourths
of an inch thick, and so strong is the
expansive force of the rubber in the
molds that they have bent this thick iron
into curve. II one of the molds should
work out of place while vulcanizing is
in process, the molds will fly out with
& noise like the report of a dozen pistols,
and the work is spoiled. The action of
the heat does the rest. When the molds
are opened they contain the perfect
round balls, with no mark of the places
where the pieces were placed. The
slight ridge made by the mold is ground
off by a s-Ole used for the purpose, and
the ball is done. This is but one pro-
cess of rubber work. Besides the hollow
balls are made solid balls of rubber,
etc.

When the census-taker raped at the
door of a certain Detroit cottage on

wondered il the woman would set the
dog on him or douse him with dish

him. She opened the door softly, snuffed
