Parrot and Poodle.

A Cleveland lady has parrot
and poodle. When Poll shrieks
Penny barks. One afternoon the
parrot sat on her perch with all the
dignity possible. The dog was TAX
ing a nap in an adjoining room.
Suddenly, without moments
notice, Poll let loose two or three
unearthly screeches. The dog
Immediately started toward the
cage at a full run barking as he
went, After he had scolded Poll
he returned to the outer room for
another snooze. He had scarcely
closed his eye before Poll shrieked
again, more loudly than before.
Up jumped the dog. and out he
went barking furiously. When
he reached the cage, Poll, who had
stopped her noise to give the dog
a chance, began to bark just as
loudly as her four legged associate.
Penny choked himself off and
grazed at the cage in holy horror.
Finally his tail dropped between
his legs and he turned around and
left the spot. Just as he was going
out of the room Poll stopped bark.
ing, a sort of a pleased expression
crept down her jagged beak, and
as the dog faded from view she
yelled after him, "Good-bye, Pen.
n.y." and without further ado re-
sumed her meditations upon he
perch.

InIudicious Women.
SATURDAY. Review.

4 rude man who was told that
certain lady was little irjudi-
cious, asked his informant wheth-
er he had ever known judicious
woman. Ifsuch q question were
put TO US, we should reply that
we knew not only judlcious but
over judicious women. We might
even add that We know women
who are as wise as serpents, though
not as harmless as doves. But
whether women are always inju-
dicious, or, as we maintain, some
times the contrary, il must. We
should think, be generally admit
ted that they are occasionally jeal-
Gus. When one lady Is jealous Of
another she instinctively talks a
great deal about her, and the gen.
eral drift OF her remarks under
such circumstances must be pretty
familiar to every one whose ac-
quaintanceship Is not confined TO
the male sex. 1t Is certain that
she will never admit her jealousy !;
but beyond that there is no say ng
what observations she may make
about her enemy. nor will she
miss any opportunity of saying an
unkind word o. her. She will
generally contrive, however. that
none of ner weapons Of attack
shall be so damaging as her praise.
She will allow that her enemy is
beautiful-beautiful az a tigress--
but she will affirm hat she
is wicked; she will admit
that che is amusing, but she
will declare her to be lima
tured; II she calls her inno-
cent, she also calls her silly; and
ifshe praises her as true hearted
and trustworthy, she stIgmatizes
her as unsympathatic aud uninter-
esting. Ii she begins by describ-
ing her as clever, she goes on 10
hint that she is an infldel. If she
praises her balls and her parties,
she abuses her for being too fat or
too thin, bad caller, or Roman
Catholic. There are plenty of other
faults with which ladies accuse
each other behind their backs, such
as inhospltality, idleness, having
''odd people, to stay with them,
frequently changing their serv-
ants, and even telling lies; but II
is needless to multiply instances.
When, however, lady is 20
renowned for her personal good
ness and excellence, her social
charms and her unsefishness, that
any attack upon her character
with the usual weapons would be
worse than useless, her opponents
resort to the equivocal subterfuge
of calling her injudicious. We
wish to call special attention to
this point, because, after some ex-
perience, we have come to the
conclusion that in large number
of cases this is the most unfair and
unwarrantable Of all the forms OF
backbitting attack ever stopped TO
by woman, which is saying not a
little. 1t is worthy of classified
tion with the "You will be sorry
for it when / am gone" or the
"Please yourself; pray do not con-
suit my Wishes" of the direct
feminine attack and we verita-
bly, believe that some women con-
slider that and any woman who il
charitable, kind AID unselfish,
must ipso fdctO be injudicious. ii
one lady hears that another has
built a church or endowed schol
arship, she Is generally ready. tC
say, "TO what purpose Is thi;
waste ?" or words to the same ef
feet,

(OTRTING IN CHINA.-Ar Shove. an

following account Of the way marriages
are brought about in China ''There is
no such thing as cOUrting among young
people in China. The bride and bride
groom never see each other until they
are about to become man and wife
Their counting is all done by their pa

you want to get your son married. and
ask if / am willing to give my daughter
TO him. | say yes. I have seen your
SON and like him, but you have not seen
my daughter. But you hire a female
broker to go and inspect my daughter,
which she does for a consideration
Indeed, this is a regular business, and
many make a good living out of it. She
visits INV house. sees and talks with my
daughter. finds that her feet are so small
that she can hardly walk-that absurd
custom of defOrming the feet is still
very prevalent in China-and returns
and makes d most flattering report
Then YOU and | come together. and l
give you written paper embodying my
manner. signify your approval, and give
a paper signed by you, and the engage
ment is completed. You can cause a
great number of sweet cakes to DC sent
TO my daughter from your son, and
these are given around to our friends as
an announcement of the betrOthal of our
daughter. The marriage itself may not
take place for month. six months or 4
