Typno,d Fever I'm Paris.

Typhoid fever has been epidemic In
Paris in recent years, and in 1880 and
1881 the mortality from this disease was
more than three times as great as in
London. During one week recently
only eleven deaths from enteric or ty-
phoid fever were registered In London,
against 1O6 in Paris. Judging from
the French official returns, typhus,
however. is unknown in Paris, although
the disease is still far from extinct in
London.

HHELLO, BABYIn

NJ. B. Curtis and his wife have a pet
parrot which is their constant travelling
companion, and which speaks the
Kings English with amazing fluency.
The loquaCioLs bird caused quite a
panic at the Win isor House last night.
1t gems that the Curtis family occupy
rooms directly adjoining Governor
Tcbor's apartments at the hotel, and
last evening, as the Governor was en-
tering his apartments he heard what
he thought was female voice saying.
"Hello, baby" The Governor was a
trihe startled. He is a very gallant
man, but he could cot for the life OF
him imagine what he had ever done to
warrant any female in addressing him
so Familiarity. The salutation appeared
to be intended for him, and it came
from the transom over the door of the
room directly across the hall. The
Governor was nonplussed. "Hello,
5aby-pretty baby" said the voice
again, and the Governor blushed as he
stroked his fierce mustaChe and tried
to brace up and look dignihed. "Won't
you come and kiss your baby?" called
the voice again, in deliciously seduC-
tive sort of way. Now the G vernon
seldom takes dare of any kind! To
do him justice, he Is a man, and at this
particular moment he felt big enough
to tackle an army.
He crept softly over to the door and
asked, Are you talking to me?" Nice
baby" said the voice, but no sooner
had the voice spoken than
another voice from inside tle
room-a big, burly mans voice called
out, go away from that door, and let
the parrot go to sleep!" 1t was Mr..
Curtis who spoke, ne had no idea it
was Governor Tabor out side. Cover
ncr Tabor slid quietly into his room,
but he thought 1t was such good joke
he had to tell the boys about it after
supper, and in the opera house lobby
last night it was all the talk.

took him in charge to deliver him here.
and as the man seemed rather pleased
at the idea of securing board and lodg'
inRs for six months he was not hand

aisle to talk politics with friend, and
pretty soon they wero having 1t hot and

prisoner, and the latter shook his head
and replied
"I don't pay fare"

"Who Is the extra one for ?" he asked,

TOO HOT.

A writer in tho Portland Transcript
gives the following description Of the

taking care what he ate. He swallowed
wasp, thinking, no doubt, that it was
large but defenseless fly.
The realization of his mistake came
when the wasp began pricking his inter-
nal organs. as a guilty conscience pricks
sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs and
reached frantically down his throat after
that wasp. Failing to dislodge it he
turned three somersaults in a manner
that would have rivaled the boss tum-
bier in circus.
Then he stood up and exclaimed,

supposed to be o call for q stomach

He then made several efforts to stand
on his head, but was unsuccessful. Next,
he bcthought himself of the Greenback
doctrine of imitation, and puffed out his
sides until he looked like base ball bat
with legs to it. Imitation didn't hit the
case, and was soon abandoned.
Again he reached down his throat, but
his arm was too short to reach the spot
where the wasp was operating.
His head began to swim, and be
whoppcd over on his back and clawed
the air like man overheard. The wasp
was evidently unable to continue his in

foot carefully examined his ribs upon
either side. Finding them all in place,
he stretched himself to his utmost height
two or three times to see if his legs were
in working order, and then hoped hor
or two to make assurance sure.
