PARROTS KILL SHEEP.
Birds In New South wales That Are
Fond Of Mutton.

From 81. Louis Globe Democrat.
You have no doubt heard of the great
rabbit scourge I'm the provinces of Aus
tralia, and how the government of New
South Wales has offered a reward of
S125, 900 to any one who will invent some
etiectual means of Kidding the country of
the pestiferous little animals. Thomas
w. Knox, in his last book of travels
tells us about the parrot scourge there,
which is almost AS destructive to sheep
as the rabbit scourge, The rabbits eat
up the pasturage and the parrots attack
farmers first established their stations
among the mountains there were fiocks
of green parrots living in the glens and
feeding entirely on fruit and leaves.
They were beautiful birds and nobody
suspected any danger from them.
After n time it was discovered that
many of the sheep, and they wero in
variably the finest and fattcst of the
flock had sores on their backs, and al
ways In the same place, just over the
kidneys. Some of the sores were so
slight that the animals recovered, but
most of them died or had to be killed to
end their sutierings. The cause of these
sores was for some time a mystery, but
at length Il herdsman on one of the high
ranges declared his belief that the par
rots were the murderers of the sheep.
Investigation showed that in the severe
winters the parrots had come at night to
the gallows where the hcrdsmen hung
the carcasses of the slaughtered sheep
and picked oil the fat from the mutton,
showing Partially for that around the
kidneys.
How they ever connected the carcasses
with the living sheep is u subject for
naturalists to puzzle over, and especially
how they knew the exact spot where the
choicest fat was to be found in the living
animal. 1t seems that the attacks on the
sheep began within few months after
the parrots had first tasted mutton at
the meat gallows. They are gradually
being exterminated, but the sagacious
birds that formerly. came without fear
into the presence OF man now venture
only at night.

How Manned Soldier Secured n
MPension From Frederick the Great.


UPension From Frederick the Great.
After the close of the Seven Years
War, Frederick the Great was for "a time
very busy with the elong-neglected affairs
of his capital, so that even his favarite
flute was for awhile neglected. Among
the officers who had particularly dis
tinguished themselves during the war,
says the New York Ledger, was a cap
tain of GrenadiersN named Ritter, WHO
had lost an arm at Buckcrsdorf' But
the lost arm was not his only mishap
He had fallen sick In hcspital-so very
sick that when peace was declared,
and an account taken of the army, he
was reported dead. But he survived and
was at'length able TO make his way to
with the king, but Frederick was en-.
gagged and would not SEQ him. Captain
Ritter came again and again, demanding
that Il pension should be granted him i;
but tho courtiers whom he saw could
not help him, for the king would not
see him. In the first place, Frederick
dis!iked Ss, exceedingly yS,S to be impGrt,uned !,
more pensions than he could help.
One day the chamberlain entered tho
royal presence and announced that Cap
tain Hitter demanded audience.
"Tell him TO go about his business"
cried the king.
u have told MIN so, sire, ann he an
swers me that his only business is to see
to the getting of his pension, II your
majesty will but see him. Poor follow |
he has lost an arm and has otherwise
suffered. Ifyour grace would but listen
to him Just one moment"
"Donnerl' exclaimed the impatient
monarch. ~ will listen to him exactly
one moment. He may come In and
speak just two words. II he venture
more m Danish him from the capital.
Shortly afterwards the manned cap
tain, having been duly informed of the
kings niggardly grant, entered the
presence chamber, and advanced to the
royal scat. In his hand he held writ
ten petition for his pension; and, sink.
ing upon his knee he held it forth.
"How now, man~ demanded Fred
erick. "What do you want?'
"Sire-Sign!" answered the old sold
,ier. lie bowed his head, and said no
more.
The king appreciated the humor,of
the thing; and with a hearty laugh he
took the petition, and appended thereto
