lCount d'Herison's Bool.I

In going through the private apart ments of the palace the count noticed that there was a dumb waiter or eleva Tor which placed the bedroom of the empress in communication with the alOr above. "The maid, who was my lulde, says the author, gave me the following explanation O. the use of the mechanical contrivan e. Above the apartment of the empress, on the third floor of the palace, was series of rooms occupied by the women in waiting and filled with large oak wardrOJes, ln which were dresses of all sorts, cloakS skirts, body linen, laces, piece goods and rolls Of silk. There Was one room for the hats, another for the shoes aui a third for the iurs; m one word lt wds a completely equipped female arsenal intended for the use of a So ereiSn who was a pretty woman and who knew how tO resort tO the embellishments of art to heighten her lcauty.

A Parrot Wonderful Above Hi. Kind.

The venerable pastor of Putnam, the
 Rev. Father Nygen, owens a parrot which Is a linguist, musician, telephone
 operator, gymnast and cOntOrtiOnist. The bird will speak Irish, Dutch, Eng fish and French and learn lesson in any of them with remarkable facility.
 Music charms him. He frequently es- says to sing and reprOdu es so well the sound of the human voice that one can tell whose voice he initiates. Ills voice and numOr are the best gen orally in the morning. He mimics the domestic animals canary bird, cat and rooster whistles for the little poodle and kindly ca Is the Newfoundland dog by pet name. The names of the household members are often on his tongue. His friendship Is perpetually particular for a certain individual and his its of re- venge very violent in Self-defenSe. He commands. eXhOrtS and denOunces as if endowed with human intelligence: has a somewhat regular hour for retiring, manifesting his Cesire therefor by a Screeeh of impatience. He undertakes to advise children regarding the pro- priety of going tO school and using a handkerchief when necessary. 1T the indolent youngsters were as asSiduOus in their applications as this parrot they would be bright scholars.
 Although he seemingly distinguishes where there is difference in rank he has very little reverence for the most distinguished in church or state and naturally has no human respect At times he assumes a meditatiye mein, es- Deeially after active and talkativo scenes. He takes great delight il whistling the raiSo-up-the-curtain and hurry up with-the play gamut, common in opera houses and halls; apparently knows good from evil and Is quick tO declare that that quality exists in cer- tain things. He puts a period tO any current noussnse by his imperative ''stop." appreciates the physiological benefit of hearty laugh when in the proper mood. holds prolonged cOnverSa- tiOns by telephone and otherwise mani fests a love for the so-called alm ghty dollar on meet occaSiOnS. The bird Is wonderful above his kind.

' And that Of the clever little tailor who married the princess!'

Now, don't believe that prin- cess ever married tailor. haven't so much as a tha!er. but here is a gros- chen; and please say hope to pay the rest by degrees Just then sacob came up. and the brothers had an interesting interview with the little dame; but they could not persuade her to take away the groschen, which she had laid on the table.
