you catch a bird so easily when you wish
TO examine itY
There's a great knack in it. Some peo-
pie grab around the cage and succeed in
frightening the bird almost to death before
catching 1t. | first remove all the perCheS,
and wait until the bird gets settled, then
make quick pounce upon it, and very
without ruffiing his plumage, take the tips
of the wings and the tail between your
thumb and fingers"
The bird fancier invited the reporter to
converse with his great talking bird. 1t
was found in large cage in one corner of
the room, and when the reporter APP
preached it exclaimed in very distinct
voice: Call the dog" The mlnO, for such
is its species, is q native of the East Indies,
and was obtained direct from an importer
in New York. 1t is possessed of glossy
black plumage, shading into several other
colors. The wings have a bar of white,
formed by series of tipped feathers, and
back of the eyes are two bright yellow flaps.
The beak is of deep orange, and the feet
are yellow.
This bird" said the fancier, "is one of
the best specimens have evergreen. He
saws more than any other bird y its kind,
and whistles a perfect tune. 1t is valued at
$500. The mino differs from the parrot,
inaSmuch as it will reply when spoken to.
The best parrots are generally silent when
YOU wish them to talk, but that is not the
case with the miuo, for he is ready to talk
to any one who will listen and will answer
questions in surprisingly intelligent man
ner."
The merry whistle of the bobolnk next
attracted the reporters attention. II may
not be known that this is the same bird
that appears here after the breeding aoson,
but in different garb and with a different
name, for then he is the reed bird, He is a
good singer and makes fire house bird
HOW TO CARE FOR BIRDS.
A striking feature of the interior of a
bird fancier's house is the noatnesS and reg
ularity with which everything Is arranged
A stream Of fresh water is constantly circu-
lating through the cages. and self-feeding
canisters full of seed supply every bird.
lone must be careful TO see that the
cage in which bird is confined is suited to
it's habits and disposition" said the fancier
''Sometimes a bird will appear worry rest
less, flying to the top and craning its neck
backward That is a sure sign that it is
discontinued, and if not removed to n larger
cage Immediately will soon stop singing.
The small birds eat all day long, and a eau
lister of seed must be kept in the cage all the
time, although it is of the highest inPor-
lance that the seed be changed every day.
This is also the case with the water. Give
a bird bath whenever you think it wants
one. You can tell the time if you watch
its antics about the water can.

AN ENGLISH DEsER TER.
He Hides in West Chester and Thus
Loses Large Inheritance.
From the philadelphia Press.

from me fUttuuetDfttU FtSS.
WEST CHESTER, July 25.-The remains
of John Walker, or Sailor Jack" as he
was commonly called, were buried in Oak
lands cemetery this afternoon The de
ceased was a well-known character and
peddled for a living. His true name was
not J John Walker, and only one person in
the borough has been put in possession Of
his real name and willnOt at present reveal
it. Walkers father was an English naval
officer and in command of one of the war
vessels that captured Hong Kong in the
English war with China
The deceased was also in the English navy
and deserted by concealing himself in a
barrel of water and shipped in that hiding
place on a vessel bound from India to
Brazil. The long confinement in the barrel
of water crippled him for life. On reach
ing Brazil he went into the interior for fear
that he might be recognized by some one on
the many English war vessels that frequent
Rio. While in the interior he got into a
fight with some natives, who throw vitriol
in his face, which partially destroyed his
sight He finally made his way to this
country, and has been resident of this
borough for dozen or more years.
The lady to whom he told his story in
vestigated it and found that it was true,
and if he had made himself known in Eng
land he would have inherit d large estate
which passed into possession of his father 5
brother.

Fruit and Vegetable Markets.

New YORK, July 27.-Pleased to note our mar
ket very favorable on LeConte pears, and also
watermelons, receipts having fallen Off recently,
causing prices to advance, and trade at present
is very active on all choice fruit arriving here
in good condition. We sold barrels to-day from
SIS 00l7 90, and crates 81 25Q12 90. according to
quality and condition 1t is very important,
however, that all choice fruit should be prop
erly graded and paper wrapped when shipped
in crates, and if in barrels, pack securely so as
TO prevent any bruising of contents during the
time in transit. Shipments will be very light
from near by points, and the outlook is favora-
BILE for good prices to be maintained. and there
fore would advise immediate shipments Water
melons, fancy, $50 006S5 90 per 100; medium,
$40 O0125 co. The weather is very warm and
demand large, and any shipments forwarded to
this market at the present time will meet with
ready sale and at profitable prices Choice

a Barrel of Whisky.
A drayman rolled forth from his cart to the
street
A red-headed barrel, well bound and complete;
And on it red letters like forked tongues of
flame,
Emblazoned the grade, number. quality, fame,
OF this world-renowned whisky from some
body's still,
Who arrested the grain on its way to the mill.
So there stood the barrel delivered, but 1
Could see that a shadow was lowering nigh;
sulphurous shadow that grew, as gazed,
To the form of Mephisto. Though sorely
amazed,
I ventured to question this imp Of the realm,
Where Vice is the Pilot with Crime at the
helm:
And asked him politely his mission to name,
And if he was licensed to retail the same
Identical barrel of whisky which he
Was fondly surveying with devilish glee?
20, Inever handle the stuff" he replied,
"My partners mortal are trusty and tried;
Mayhap, peradyenture you might wish to look
AT the invoice complGte-l will read from this
book.
You will find that this barrel contains some.

WHY 1T is.

Questions Answered-Tf Mon Have No
Self-Respect Why Should They Expect
Others to Take n Personal Interest in
Them.
Many who drink often ask the ques-
tions: ''How is it that am not trust
ed?" why is days pay taken from
my wages when l am sick and the
other men who work alongside of me
are allowed to draw pay even if they
are absent?"
If these men were to clear their
minds and open their eyes land sec
themselves rs others see thcm," they
would never think of asking such ques-
tions.
For example, let us take a case
which happened only few days ago.
A man was found by the police in De-
troit, Mich, in one of the lowest parts
of the city, asleep in an alleyway
and under the influence of liquor.
When searched in the police station
the police found in his pockets So, 900
in bills, $12, 600 in checks and drafts
and 81, 600 worth of precious stones
making in all $27 600 belonging to
firm in which this man was en-
ployed. If this firm should happen
to retain MIN he will be ono of the
first to ask: Why don't they trust
me rs they did little while ago?
Did l ever lose any thing belong-
ing to them? Even if do take q lit
tie now and then know how to take
care of myself. OF course, he is liable
to reform, but his employers are not
going to take any more risks.
In the second place the men who
complain Of being 'docked" when
they absent themselves from work
are very numerous. Many OF such
have come in contact with the writer.
Only 4 day or two ago man who is
''under the weather every day of his
life said: " | can not understand why
my employer watches me so carefully,
and if l am not up to the mark at all
times l am knocked about and yelled
at" When answered: you drink,
and that is the only reason" To this
he replied: Il do my work honestly,
and what I drink is my own" OF
course, he can drink and swallow rs
much as his stomach will hold, but
when reminded Of the fact that he was
a blood relative of his employer, and
4 man who seldom drew sober breath,
and whose clothes were the dirtiest of
any man in the establishment, and only
such as his kind were the GROWERS
and the ones who caused loss of time
and money TO themselves and every
establishment in which they were em-
ployed, then he began to think.
Ii such men have no respect for
themselves, why should they expect
others to take an interest in them?
In nine cases out of ten if asked to
join a Temperance society they are in
suited and will not hesitate in telling
one that they can mind their own
business. Irish World.
