Gorernor Tnhor and the Parrot.

NJ. B. Curtis and his wife have q
pet parrot which is their constant
travelling companion, and which speaks
the kings English with amazing
fluency. The loquacious bird caused
quite panic at the Windsor hotel last
night. The Curtis family occupy
rooms directly adjoining Governor Ta-
boris apartments at the hotel, and last
evening, as the governor was entering
his apartments, he heard what he
thought was female voice, saying,
"Hello, baby" The governor was a
trifie startled. He is very gallant
man, but he could not for the life of
him imagine what he had ever done to
warrant any female in addressing him
so familiarly. The salutatiOn APP
peared to be intended for him, and
came from the transom over the
door of the room directly across
the hall. The governor was nom
plussed. "Hellol baby, pretty baby"
said the voice again, and the gov
ernor blushed as he stroked his fierce
moustache, and tried to brace up and
look dignified. won't you come and
kiss your baby?" called the voice
again, in a deliciously seductive sort of
way. Now, the governor seldom
takes a dare of any kind. TO do him
justice, he is q brave man, and at this
particular moment he felt big enough
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
the room-a big, burly mans voice
called out: $50 away from that door
and let the parrot go to sleepF" 1t
was Mr.. Curtis who spoke,-Denoer

Early Autumn.

Of seasons this the perfect type
The earth, The teeming earth is ripe
From regal heights Of mountain glade
TO inmost depth fenny shade,
The pullulnting echoes fly
With rapt repeatines Of this cry,
Yea, ripe, in full fruition, stand
The numerous plains the meadow land;
This, yellow with its latter grain;
That shadowed by the russell train
OF fair PomanR's fragrant robe,
Whose rustling steps full harvests bode.
Outlined in blue and palest gold,
The distant hills soft mists unfold;
A gentle wind Just breaks the grass,
To let its whispers reach mass
OF aufeous and purple bloom
ProDendent DER lowly tomb.
Some few cicade try to sing
Their summer notes; the crickets ring
Their tiny cymbals far and wide;
While paudy moth-nies flaunt in pride,
Where hcmely spiders weaving glide,
And Geld mice covertly abide.
The river flows with broader swirls;
A broohlot glints and bliihsly purls
Amidst its dilKes of stones and moss
And, here and there, leaves crinkled toss
Forerunners Of the latter fall
Which must proceed gray winters pail.
Yet still the dreary season far
In future lies, and cannot mar
The peaceful scene Of hearty life.
Whereof all nature seems 80 rife.
II leaps, this life, on maiden cheeks,
(Which deeper blush) and its course leaps
. Through every muscle Of the youth,
Who're ready hand strips from their bootl
The Juicy clusters Of the grape.
Which coiling tendrils closely drape.
Il beats, IL throbs, ah yes, is told,
Ia Joyous flow, to staid and old,
In measures full, yes, bounteously,
In toth il seemeth good to be
II but 10 feel the wholesome flood
OF quickened thought and freshened blood
Which issues from the brain and heart,
And 70 each wish would zest impart,
Yielding the Houl cheering faith
That love and Joy are nota wraith2

Garibaldi,s Character.

The battle of the Volturno, the
flight of the king and the siege of
Capua followed in rapid succession.
During the whole Of that stirring time

of the Two Sicilies at the summit of
his power and popularity, and l saw
how he used both. 1t was commonly
said that for fortnight after he en-
tered Naples no crimes were committed
| stayed long enough to see the place
become sink of iniquity once more.
After the battle of the Volturno there
was little to do except to get into mis-
chief, and plenty of mischief there was
-duels, assassinations, gambling and
worse. But what spell seemed to fall
upon the city whenever Garibaldi was
in it The nights were as a rule noisy
and suproarious. One night he sent
out word that he could not sleep, and
you might have heard a pin drop on
the pavement all through that night.
The women brought him their chill
dren to bless, he stroked their heads
he rebuked their superstition-but he
could never say an unkind word to
them. His care for the wounded was
unwearied He went daily through
the military hospitals at Caserta.
The doctors said his visits did more
for the men than all the physic. They
declared his touch and very look were
full of healing; the dying heads were
lifted to see him pass, and wounded
men leaped from their couches to seize
his hand.
He was just the same on the battle
held-he always went over it himself
to be sure that all the living had been
taken up and all the wounded cared
for. This is how he won the great and
simple love of his soldiers. His own
soul was great and simple.

He had a simple method. He borrowed

MRS. whitaker's Deaf Ear.

Mrs. Whitaker was deaf in cne ear.
II was her right ear and it was stone
deaf.
Mrs. Whitaker had acquired habit
of sleeping upon her left side, with her
deaf ear up, and this had often been a
source of annoyance TO her husband,
who was nervous and irritable, while
she was a woman whose calmness and
serenity Of disposition were remark
able.
Sleeping with her deaf ear up Mrs.
Whitaker at night was rarely disturbed
by noises which robbed her husband of
his rest. The hum of the mosquitoes
which maddened him was not heard by
her. A passing thunderstorm which
reused him In summer night and sent
him flying about to close the windows
would leave her in perfect unconscious
ness of its existence. The noises in
the streets and the rafting of the
wfndow-sashes upon windy nights fire.
quently filed Mr.. Whitaker with vex-
alton as they deprived him of sleep !;
but his wife slumbered sweetly on and
heard them not. Indeed, it rarely hap
pened that she heard the crying of the
bady until Mr.. Whitaker, indignant at
its refusal to go to sleep, would rouse
her by shaking her, and would ask her
to try TO soothe the little one.
Mr.. Whitaker had often remon-
strated with his wife about this habit
of sleeping with her deaf ear up, and
she had often replied good-humoredly
with promise to try to remember to
break herself of it, but somehow or
other it continued to cling to her.
One night in winter time Mr.. Whit
aker sat up in his library till a late hour
reading book in which he was very
much interested. His wife retired
early. Mr.. Whitaker finally closed his
book, and after locking the front door
went down in the cellar, in accord
ance with his custom, to see if the fur
mace fire had been fixed properly for
the night. While he was poking it a
gust of wind came through the screen
upon one of the cellar windows and
slammed the door leading into the back
hallway above, through which he had
come. For q moment Mr.. Whitaker

he had put spring lock on the other

struck him that the catch might pos

and tried the door. The catch was
down; and he had no key He was
locked in the cellar, for the key of the
out-cellar door he knew was in the
. kitchen.
He could hardly think what he mad
better do about the matter, but finally
he concluded to try to make his wife
hear him and come to his rescue. He
seized the long and heavy furnace
poker, and inserting the crook of il
above the bell-wire that ran along the
joist of the cellar ceiling he pulled.
The bell tangled loudly, but it was in
the kitchen, and Mrs. Whitaker was in
the front room in the second story,
Would she hear it? He pulled the
wire again, twice, then he sat down on
the steps and waited. There was no re-
sponse 1t then flashed upon the mind
Of the imprisoned man that Mrs. Whit
aker was probably sleeping with the
deaf ear up.
This increased his growing irritation
and he pulled the bell-wire with the
poker fifteen or twenty times.

The ReautlfnI Rulns Of Tanls.

M. Edourd Naville has lately re-
turned from short tour of explora-
tion in the Eastern Delta, where he
visited the ruins of Tanis.
The ruins lie high above the marshy
plain, upon a kind of plateau sur
rounded by an amphitheatre of low
hills. These hills are the rubbish
mounds of the old crude brick city,
surrounding the great wall within
which lay the temples and palaces of
Tanis. M. Faville found himself stand
ing in the midst of a vast waste strewn
and piled with columns, architraves,
obelisks, statues and enormous blocks
of hewn stone, all shattered, over
turned, and showing marks of willful
destruction. Traces of the tools with
which the ruin was done are
visible on almost every stone.
In one superb colossus, which
has resisted the hand of
the destroyer, M. Naviile found wedged
holes into which wood blocks had been
inserted for the purpose of splitting
the granite. He inclines to think that
this was the result of war and not of
iconoclasm. The temple was probably
occupied as a fortress in Roman times
or during the middle ages, and both
besieged and besiegers may have used
it's materials for offensive and defen-
sive purposes.
The principal temple was built en-
tirely of red granite brought from the
quarries Of Assouan, on the Nubian
frontier. The difficulty of transport
ing these enormous blocks is quite in
calculable. Fourteen obelisks. described
by M. Naville as the largest in Egypt,
strew the mounds with their gigantic
fragments. All these and nearly all
the statues and sphynxes, which APP
pear to have lined the avenues
to the principal temple, were erected
by Rameses II. Not only do their in
scriptions celebrate the glory of this
great Pharaoh, but even the bases of
these overturned monuments which
rested on the ground, and were intend
ed never to be seen by human eyes,
were engraved with his well-known
cartouches. Many of the colossi still
retain their traces of color.
NJ. Naville is of opinion that there
is great work to be done at Tanis in
the way of excavation. The little,
comparatively speaking, which has yet
been accomplished there was by Ma
riette Pasha; but his discoveries were
limited by want of time, health and
funds, and much that he uncovered is
again buried.
"In severe grandeur and solemnity
these ruins" says M. Naville, "sur-
pass even those of Karnak. Herodo-
tus, who had never seen Tanis, ex-
patiated at much length on the beauty
Of Bubastis. To judge by what is left
of the one end of the other, Tanis
must have greatly surprised its rival.
Supposing that some part at least was
left standing-that all was not, as it
now is, overthrown and shattered-I
have no hesitation in saying that Tanis
would have been the most beautiful
ruin in Egypt"
Though exempt, by reason of its in
accessibility, from the depredations of
tourists, Tanis is Suffering from the
fatal effects of an atmosphere laden
with saline exberations M. Naville
reports that the surface of these
granite monuments are rapidly decay
ing.-Lo1ldon TAtheetIm.

HALL OF FAIRy1Ew P. OF H.,
February Doth. 1899

Mr.. Editor We suppose our other
article in regard to the installation Of
officers, found its way into the waste
basket, but we are not discouraged
and will try il again. Some of our
members felt a little disappointed,
as we had promised them that it
would be published in your valuable
paper. Since our installation our
Grange has been pfospering. We
have seven candidates ready to be in.
structed at our next meeting, and
eight others in the hands Of the
proper committees. AT the last
meeting the Grange appointed two
correspondents, and no doubt your
many readers will occasionally hear
something of the Grange in the fu.
ture, if you will be kind enough to
publish their articles. In view Of
the high price of all kinds of farm
products, and the increase in popul
lation, your readers, perhaps, begin
to realize the need of an increase Of
those productions. Once physical
power almost alone was sufficient to
produce enough; bptsRpw the farmers
are beginning to find they need some
mental training, also. A well train.
ed brain power is needed on the farm
as well as in any other profession, to
make it a success; and. the Grange
proposes to furnish that training for
all farmers, who will avail them.
selves of the opportunity. Farmers,

The writer of this, after the cele.

and called upon several teachers and
visited several schools. He tried to
pass himself off as County Superin-

was TOO well known and that they
did not propose taking any substitute

they would show their appreciation
by weighing the school on u pair of
scales near the school house, provid-
ed the teacher, who had q "better

they wanted their weight to show
their sympathy for their old bachelor
