''Ha, la ha. Why don't you get a chair
to sit down onf'
The voice was rather loud, but not dis
agreeable, and the tone somewhat muffied,
as of a person half choking with laughter,
says The San Diegan The saiutaton came
TO the news,salherer as he on his daily
peram bulations about the city, and WAS
traced to IA handsome bue-bacs bird in
cage hanging under the shade OF a tx tree
at the residence of DIR. Gildea on Sixteenth
street near II. As the reporter approached
nearer he was received with more laughter
and inquiries as To whether he came to see
the ''mino." if his health good, etc. A
few Inquiries directed to pleasant faced
lady near by elected the information that
the bird WAS the sacred mlno of Siam, which
as a nesting had been sinuggled from the
TEMPLE where i. was bred by rowing sea
captain, and sold to DR. Gildea at Honolulu.
some eight years ago
Minnie a she is called. is about half the
size of crow and nearly as black. In the
sunlight the feathers take blue and green
tinge and there is spot Of white upon each
wing and u necklace of bright yellow about
the throat The bill which is large and
strong tapers to u point and is orange hued
near the head and lemon colored at the tip.
The prominent eyes are dark and bright the
feet and legs lemon colored. The bird is
valued at $50. but specimens have been
known to bring 81 ,0D1 in the United States,
where but few of them have ever been
brought. The species is carefully guarded
in SIAM and as none are ever sold they can
only be obtained stirreptriously.
