Tho hnseb Parrot.

An Gilman possessed fine parrot, who
amused him with her prattle and watched
his shop during his absence. 1t CHANGED
one day when the GILMAN had gone out
that a cat ran into the shop in chase OF
mouse which so frightened the parrot that
she flew about from shelf to shelf, upset
ting several jars and spilling their contents
When her master returned and saw the
havoc made among his goods he fetched
the parrot blow that knocked out all her
head feathers and from that day she sulked
on her perch The Gilman, missing the
prattle of his fayoritc, began to shower his
aims on every passing bcggar, in hope that
some one would induce the parrot to speak
again At length baldheaded mendicant
came to the shop one day, upon seeing
whom the parrot, breaking her long silence,
cried out: Poor fellow poor fellow hast
thou, too, upset some oil jarF'-flowers

when bit of bamboo served for the STICK,
with bamboo strips for the ribs aud var

ever seen. These, however, have now been
left far behind. Ia the year 1859 there
were actually imported by sea into Cal

RUsSIA'S OPPORTUNITY.
Rlasland7s Wheat Fields Washed Out by
Disastrous Geains.

Iio4tDoN, July 2o.-England has just
experienced the heaviest rainfall known
an ,eny one week since 1878, and the
whole six weeks record is the worst
since 1913. The nesult has been disas-
tfous to farmers. >AtShepperton, some
twenty miles up the river, in a hundred
,acres of meadow the cooked hay is
sfour-ffths under water. The Thames
lis a swollen and muddy flood, and all the
low-lying stretches of land in the valley
are swamped Some grass counties,
like Cheshire, already report that prac-
iticalIy the whole hay crop is destroyed.
Two bright, hot days in the middle OF
the week revived.a hope that the wheat
might after all be saved in something
not too far below the average crop, but
everybody admits now that it is likely
to be the worst yield since the unprece-
denied disaster of 1878.
The stock of English wheat is now all
but exhausted, and under the influence
of this and the evil prospects the grow
ing crop prices have advanced about an
other shilling per quarter during the
week. Much the same stories continue
to come from the Continent.
AS to the real condition of the Russian
crop much uncertainty exists. The Otti-
cial report of the month makes a very
gloomy showing but it is suspected lnBer-
lin that this is done to favorably affect
exchange, and that Russia, in fact, has
tOlerable crop. If this be true, Russia
ought to make a great deal of money,
because all Europe will perforce be
