"Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
TpethD

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant INVITING
they get about this nasal twang and yet it is
n fact caused by our dry stimulating atmos-
phere, and the universal presence of catar-
rhal diffiu!ties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth!
That is more of poser to the English. 1t
is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by want
of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutritiOn induced by
deranged stomach acton. The condition is
modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption bv abundant and regular use os
what is now known as. Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy and Log
Cabin SarSaparila, two old fashioned renie-
dies han led down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the strong
est guarantees OF purity and efficacy by the
world famed makers of Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used as the
spring and summer seasons advance give
positive assurance of freedom, both from
catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected,
inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung
troubles and consumption, which SO gem
orally and fatally prevail among our people.

PARROTS ARE SCARCE AND HIGH.

out Swearing Is Worth $3.50.
From the Philadelphia Record.
That chattering genius of the bird
tribe vIlgarly known as the poll-parrot
is creating something of financial SEN
sation among fame ers, who find moro
customers than parrots, but who are
timid about holding their prizes at such
pric, as now prevail, for fear that q
West India or South American fleet
may at any time overstock the market.
Sure enough, there's boom in par
rots, says Ninth street dealer, "and
we are getting high prices for the birds
on hand, especially for Brazilian pets
that can talk. The other day we sold
q bird for $50, and we hold this one
in the cage here pointing to fine
specimen on perch near bv) at $l25. +"
"These are unusual figures, then?"
"Oh, yes. We sold the $50 parrot
partly on its merit and partly because
it bore a strong resemblance to the re-
Gently deceased pet of an old lady on
Spring Garden street, who was as fond
of her bird as though it had been her
daughter. But it was q bright parrot,
could whistle like flute, and knew
Through the Rye Yankee Doodle
Over the Fence Is Out and The Old
Mans Drunk Again The latter tune
it learned from its last mistress, along
with sundry profane expressions, which
cut down its value at least so. A par
rot that could spit ont half q dozen
tunes without cuss word, say Good
night and Woodworking at the proper
times, and would not fight with the
house cat, would, in the present condi-
ton of the market, fetch $3.50"
rs the parrot market cornered?"
"Oh, no. That was tried once, and
a New York firm bought up all the
talking parrots in the country quietly,
at fair prices, and waited for big
raise. lust as the corner was about to
succeed, two vessels sailed into New
York harbor with several hundred birds
syndicate losing over 100000 on the
deal.
"But that was not so queer as the
bad lnck of Captain who bought over
hundred or more parrots in 1884. He
left Rio about two months before the
Presidential election. The Captain
was cock-sure of Biaine's election, and
thought that he would make q spec
by teaching the birds to say 'Hurrah
for Blaine The sailors were busy
Turing the entire voyage instructing
the birds in this single sentence.
When the vessel arriv, d, Cleveland had
been elected, and the parrots were a
dead loss. The Captain didn't get
enough for them to pay first cost"
What are the prevailing prices
now?"
"Well, Cuban parrots sell from So to
-, and Brazilian parrots from $40 to
-. These are double the prices
which have been prevailing. The re-
suit is due to a limited supply and a
brisk demand. Parrots are great pets,
md an old lady bought the other day
an old parrot from us for so which we
had about made mp our minds to give
away, Just because the bird looked like
one which she had owned for years,
and which had just died."

THEY WANTED BAKED BEANS.

An Inss.u tive Story of the SuntrinSs OF
Certain Kostonians.
From he Boston Tra rptl
Quite numbe, of years ago young
German emigratcd to Boston and set
tied dcwn here among the Yankees. He
prospered, set up in business for him
self, prospered some more, and after a
time went back to Germany aud
brought over from his native village a
young wife. The young people, living
and trading among the natives, became
pretty thoroughly Anlericanized, but
did not lose their romantic affection for
their native land Children were born
to them, they still prospered i'll bust
ness, and after fifteen years the hus-
band retired from trade. His heart
still turning to Germany, he determin-
ed to take his flmily there and place
the children in school, leaving it to the
future to determine whether he should
remain the rest of his life in Germany
or return to Boston after the education
of his six children had been well adj
vanced.
The first day after the family had
arrived at the parents old home was
Sunday, and the children, with their
father and mother, We're grouped
around their ga parents table for
breakfast. Instea of being served
with the usual plates of Boston baked
beans the eldest of the children was
asked by the grandfather what he
would like to have for breakfast.
Some beans, if you please" said the
boy in his best German.
The grandfather showed some sur
Prise and said little crustily that he
was sorry there were no beans. Then
he turned to the next eldest, girl, and
asked her what she would like for her
breakfast.
'I'd like to have some beans, please,
grossvater," said the girl, as a matter
of course.
The grandfather appeared somewhat
vexed, but asked the third child what
he would have.
Beans, please, said he.
The old gentleman here grew de
cidedly angry. But he asked all the
rest of the children in turn, down to
the youngest tot, and all declared that
they wanted some beans. AMI when

smallest children, overcome all at once
by inconsistencies, began to cry, and the
older ones looked very distressed and
unhappy. The grandparents rebuked
the father and mother for not rearing
their children with better manners.
The parents protested that it was per-
fectly natural, and began to feel de-
cidedly homesicl themselves.
Its no use," said the father to the
mother after the meal was over and
they had retired to their chamber.
1--WE have made a mistake, and neither
we nor the children can be contented
here. 1t isn't that we can't do without
baked beans on Sunday morning
exactly, but that we have become such
thorough Yankees that we shall be
homesick here"
81 think you are right" said the wife
"and now that we have made up our
minds to that, hadn't we better go back
to Boston, and educate our children
there?'
81 think we had" said the husband.
After a short stay, which nobody en-
joyed. the family packed up their bag
gage, and returned to Boston. And
all because there were no baked beans
on Sunday morning!

Perhaps if 1 say it here that the
Sdlamond-back" is scientifically known
as crotalus horridus, you will know
what l mean; perhaps you will not.
Possibly my statement of that zoologi-
cal fact will only make cold chills creep
down your back to no purpose. For
the name itself is appalling, and this
perhaps is the reason that the people
OF L lorida, who wish to encourage i'm
migration. merely allude to diamond
backs lightly and cheerfully as rat
tiers" But there are "rattlers" and
rdttlerS! The rattler of the North is
more or less common; few have gone
"huckleberrying" often without en-
countering one. The better the ground
and the day for finding berries, the
better tie chance for rattlesnakes, too.
But long stick always made short

ern New York; were the engagement
with crotalus horridus of Florida,
though, should want an uncommonly
long stick, and you might look with
considerable certainty to find me at the
extreme end of it.
The common name by which this
snake is known comes from the dia-
mond pattern which Nature, ever lib
eral with her dyes and designs. has
printed upon its back. Nothing could
be neater or more becoming And, so
far as looks go. this crotalus is the
handsomest and best dressed of his
kind. But, since handsome is that
handsome does" only, the diamond
back is not generally admired in the
circles wherein he moves, breathes and
principally hes his being. NicA.
