Collars and Cuffs We are
selling them in stock. Strange
TO say, that at this late day,
there are men crazy enough to
pay 20 cents for a collar when
they can get one equally good
for 10 cents, simply to keep up
a name. 1t is rank absurdity,
and no man doing it can give
you any good reason why he
does it. OUR ten cent collars
are the latest style Four ply.

collar as good and you must
pay double the money.

Directions for Parrot pettinr.

The king of the parrot tribe is tho
beautiful gray African. They como
generally from Sierra Leone, and are the
most intelligent of all others. Next
come the green, red and yellow Mexican.
They are natives of Yucatan, Mexico
and also Central America and are tho
most intelligent of the native American
parrots. The miner species come from
Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba and Porto Rico.
They arc not mach good as takers,
being kept mostly for their beauty.
Except the Mexican. the gray parrot is
the most valuable The smaller varieties
can be purchased when young very cheap,
and the month OF June is the best time
to make purchase But before you in
vest in parrot, gentle reader first pro-
cure the consent of all the household,
for in your homes there may be some
nervous persons who do not like noise,
and you will have plenty of it. If YOU
purchase parrot it should be young
bird, so that you may teach it to speak
yourself. The cage should be good
sized one of strong wire with cups on
each side. The food Ut the parrot is
hemp seed, bread and milk, with little
powdered sugar on top, bread and
water. You may give them potatoes
once in while, and apples. lettuce and
salad. Never give celery or parsley.
The cage should be cleaned out every
day. Put old newspapers, cut round, on
tho floor of the cage, and sprinkle sand
thereon. Parrots should be let out to
run around the room once in while, or
let perch on the back of an old chair SO
they may wave their wings and exercise.
At night, II the room is cold, the cage
should be covered with an old shawl or
piece of carpet. To keep them from
screeching cover up the cage or put them
in dark closet for while. Detroit

A Crocodile Volcano.

One of the most interesting chapters
in Charles Frederick Holders new
story book of natural history, called
"a Frozen Dragon" tells how animals
and reptiles spend the winter. He says:
In Ceylon the crocodilcs hibernate ss do
many fishes during the dry season, "
ing i'll their hardened caves sometimes
for two seasons without evidence of lifo.
and their sudden appearance has often
given rise to stories of spontaneous
generation. Thus, travellers have
campcd on n dry, barren country that
did not show the slightest signs OF lie.
a shower comes, covers the depression
with water, and in half an hour the
mir is resonant with the hoarse cries of
frogs, while the splashes tell of larger
forms that have been aroused by the
welcome rain. A party travelling in the
East once came to camp i'll such spot.
a fire had been built and was blazing
up, when suddenly the tent and its
contents were thrown aside rs if by
small volcano, and it was found that
the fire had been over the cave of
alternating crocodile, to whom the I'M
usual heat was an unwclcome sur
prise.

AM OSTRICH Race.

Az command from tho Doctor one Of
tho Madrasese keepers opened the doors
of one of the pens, and in response to
the Doctors call two superb ostriches
came running to him. After caressing
the gentle creatures for few moments
he showed them handful of figs OF
which they are extremely fond. Two
Of his men then restrained the birds
by placing nooses about their leg, I'M
til he and myself had walked to the
other end of the course. Then at q
signal from the Doctor, the birds were
released and the race began. It was
tare sight. Ornithologists tell us that
the stride of the ostrich when feeding
is from twenty to twenty-five inches;
when walking, but not feeding, twenty
six inches, and when terrified, from
eleven and one-half to fourteen feet.
1t seemed to me that in this race for
handful OF figs from their master these
gigantic birds covered the last named
distance ut every stride.
Like the wind they came, their great
aecks stretched forward and upward to
their utmost length; their wings like
arms, working with motion similar to
hat made by their legs. and filling the
air with mighty sound like the rush
ing OF a whirlwind. Nearer and nearer
;hey came, their speed increasing with
very moment till L was almost ter
:ified lest they shonld run us down,
ceiling certain that we could not with
stand the shock. They kept we'll
abreast for nearly half the distance,
md then one began to forge ahead.
He steadily increased his lead till with
N few feet of us, when he turned his
head, and seeing that his competitor
was considerably in the rear, he slack
ened his pace, and logged up to the
Doctor, received his reward in figs and
earesses.- 1llgeLcs letter
