Milwaukee Sun,

A gentleman on the south side has a
parrot that is almost human. 1t will
drink beer and knows when 1t has
enough, and will not touch any more,
which is better than many grown peo-
ple' do. The parrot, when 1t first oegan
to take beer, got full, and those who saw
it say the parrot was just like a mar.
Firs5 it was funny, and laughed at every.
thing, AMI wanted to have a high old
time Then it began to quiet down and
would sit on the perch and pay no atten-
ton to anything that was said, appearing
to be seasick. And the next morning its
feathers all seemed to pull, and the par.
rot had headache. Its master offered
It some beer that morning, but the poor

Burst an Eyeball In sneezing.
Indianapolis Times.

Miss Mary Hanrehsn met with sin
pular accident recently. While riding
on a street car she was seized with sud.
den fit Of sneezing, and burst one of her
eyepalls, from which she has since been
suffering the most intense pain. Her
physician says that such an occurrence
is very uncommon, especially when, as
in the present case, there was apparently
no liberation of the eye or disease Of the
organ sufficient to cause it to burst. He
says that probably the sneezing was sc
rapid that the eyelid remained open, and
this would have greatly increased the
effect of the sudden strain. OF course
the young woman lost the sight of the
injured eye.

Canals on the Planet Mars.
Richard A. Proctor.


possess thirty or forty views of Mars,
presented to me sixteen years ago by the
Rev. Mr.. Dawes, in which, though he
used but an eightinch telescope, some of
the long, narrow passages mentioned by
Mr.. Webb are shown. / mention this
because it may serve to corroborate what
otherwise might seem mprobable-the
circumstance that Signor Schiaparelli
should have seen with his comparatively
small telescope, what has escaped the at
tention of observers using such instru.
ments as the Herschelian refectors, the
three-foot reflector made by Mr.. Com
mon, and the magnificent twenty six
inch refractor of Washington. Albeit
until observers with such instruments as
these, have distinctly seen what Signor
Schiaparelli has mapped we must not too
hastily assume that these are real feat
ures of Mars. Mr.. Nathaniel Green,
whose fine Autographs Of Mars adorn a
recent volume of the Memoirs of the
Astronomical Society,"" considers that
these narrow passages are due to an
optical illusion (which he has himself
experienced
Should it be proved that the net work
OF dark streaks has real existence, we
should by no means be forced to believe
that Mars is planet unlike our earth,
but we might perhaps infer that engin-
eering works on much greater scale
than any which exists on our globe have
been carried on upon the surface of
Mars The smaller force of Marian
gravity would suggest that such works
could be much more easily conducted on
Mars than the earth, as have elsewhere
shown. 1t would be rash, however, at
present, to speculate that way.

A New Departure

From this time ON the APPEAL will
publish the Geographic dispatches on
its first page. For many years the peo-
pie of Carson have been obliged to SUBJ
scribe from San Francisco and Virginia
papers in order to get telegraphic news.
When the APPEALS arrangements are
complete there will no longer be any
necessity for SO doing. This mornings
dispatches are rather mesgre, but when
the paper adapts itself to the new
arrangements they will be more VOL
luminous than ever yet printed in a
Carson newspaper. Another column
has been added to the telegraph page
and we trust that the location will be
looked upon with favor by advertisers.

A system Which should be Changed.
Under the present law distinction
is made between drunmers and ped
oilers in the matter of license. Drum
mers are made to pay high License,
while pedd!ers are made to pay low
rate, and the consequence is that the
drummers have almost been wholly
driven out of Nevada. The merchants
complain of this because the drummer
helps them at times to get goods
twenty-five per cent lower than they
could if dealing direct with San Fran
cisco wholesale houses. The peddier
interferes with regular trade and takes
all he makes out of the State. Drum
mers for first class houses are allowed
$40 Il day for expenses, in fact they are
obliged by the houses they work for to
spend at least that sum that they may
be considered hale fellows we'll met and
secure custom, 1t is seldom that Il
drummer for 4 wholesale Chicago house
is seen in Nevada, the high license
charged having the effect of driving
them all away from the State, where
they used to spend at least 100000 a
year and enable the merchants to get
better bargains than now. At the next
session Of the Legislature some meas
ures should be taken to encourage this
very desirable class of visitors.
