their milk, and we have known
more than one man who would let
them rot on the ground rather than
feed them. This, too, at just the
season when it is beginning to be
difficult to get succulent food, which
they could SO easily supply. APP
pies will increase the supply of milk,
but as they contain so much water
it will not be we'll to have them
form an undue portion of the ration,
as the milk would be apt to be thin.
Being deficient in the richer quail
ties OF a perfect ration, they should
be led in connection with meal,
grain and good hay. Sour, raw
apples, fed in large quantities, might
produce collie, but this danger would
be wholly obviated by cooking them,
and cooked apples with corn meal
or ground oats would make milk

this engine can be run at saving Of
from 80 to 40 per cent. over the same

Gov. IIogg's big Catch.

Gov. Hogg, of Texas, was recently
down on the gulf fishing. He relates
an incident to Fort Worth Gazette
correspondent thus: ~ was sitting in
the boat one day." he said, ''just inside
the entrance to the pass, when felt a
nibble. jerked the line gently, when
knew l had him. began to haul in,
and felt the line grow heavier. Then
began succession of savage rushes,
and all grew still as the breast when
the spirit hath flown. When the end Of
the line came to the surface I found a
tangle of fish. l had first hooked a
snapper;, the snapper had been seized
by terrapin, which was unable to free
itself. The terrapin had been run
through by swordfish, which was
fastened by his long blade, and stin-
garee had wrapped himself around the
swordfish and stung him to death. 7
suppose there must have been three
hundred pounds of meat on the hook"
Asked If there was anyone else in the
boat, the governor replied that he was
alone.

They were left almost penniless, de-
pendent on their'own cxertions Much
was said of the employment to be
found in America and the good wages
paid. Lisette's aunt decided to come
and try their fortunes in the strange
country "But what o. Kenneth?" the
girl had asked. II gae him promise
to wait for him till he comes ha,ne fer
me, this Yulctidc year" leave yer
address with some friend, Clyde Burgn
wad be guide one, and when he comes
hame fer ye, he can come over the
waters fer ye, orye can come back to
him. We must gae, lass, fer there's
naught to do here"
So they came and found home and
employment in this country. The first
year was happy one to them. They
were charmed with the novelty of it
all, and though they worked hard they
were making and saving money. And
Lisette would be so glad tc show it to
her lover when he came for her Over
and over she planned her wedding out
ft, day after day she dreamed of the
little home that would be theirs, in
their 'ain countrio."
The weeks slipped happily by, but
when the Christmas came and no Ken
meth came over the waters, and the
months slowly dragged away till the
summertime had come and yet no
lover, the happy smile faded. The
cheeks lost their bloom, and the laugh
ing eyes lost their light and were wist-
full now. Each mornings dawn brought
whisperings of hope that might be
fulfilled, brought expectancy and
yearning love. Each evenings sun set
on the hopes and dreams and plans of
q loving heart.
That fall the aunt sickcned and died,
leaving Lisetto alone in the great,
strange world. She had been pa
tient, loving nurse all through her
aunt's long sickness and was heart
broken at her loss. People said sor-
rowfully that she would soon join her
in their long home, she looked so white
and languid. And she coughed some.
They remembered that her aunt had
said her father had died of consump-
ton. They argued with her about
working SO hard, but she only shook
her head decidedly. II must" she
said. II am gaeing back to my ain
countrie when can save emo to take
me there" Her aunt's illness had used
up all her little store. So she worked
on, patiently, quietly, always talking
OF that home Of hers, in the far away
country; working, striving ever to reach
it. They all loved the girl, these kind
neighbors Of hers, and it panied them
to see her fading away from them.
They helped her all she would permit
them, but she was strangely independ-
ent, and liked best to be left alone the
little while she had out of the mill.
1t was one evening the autumn after
her aunt's death, that she toiled home,
weary and heartsick. The sun was

A LINGUISTIC PARROT.
He Can Speak In Five LaDgua ges-A Bir
Who Laughs at Singers.

He Can Speak I'm rive LaDgua ses-A Bird
who Laughs at Singers.
The parrot, according to the best au-
thorities on ornithology, belongs to the
family of scansorial birds. remarkable
for their beautiful colors, powerful bill,
feshy tongue and their power of irni-
tating the human voice. According to
others, who do not view them from
scientific standpoint, they are nothing
more than nuisance. But there are par
rots and parrots, and, in whatever cate
CORY one is disposed to place them, there
is no gainsaying the fact that the at
taipments of some of them are note
worthy, if not always praiseworthy.
Up in the French quarter just north
OF Washington square, says the New
York Mail and Express, lives an old
Frenchman, an exile of course, called
NJ. Felix. lie is a gentleman of the old
school, and is supposed to have seen
better, if not happier, days. For many
years he has instructed his fellow coun-
trymen and country women, too, for
that matter, through the medium of
little circulating library over which he
presides with great dignity. lie speaks
seven or eight languages. In time not
otherwise engaged he has instructed a
parrot of which he is the possessor in
the rudimcnts of some of these lam
guages, and with an uncommon degree
of success.
The other evening a call was made at
the little circulating library. Felix's
welcome was cordial and he seemed
gratified to know that the fame of his
parrot was extending.
"Ah, yes, Pierre, 'es wonderful bird.
not take dree, two, f. tousan' dol
laires for him. Is it not sop
"Oui! Quiz shricked the parrot. Then
he shut up like steel trap and refused
to be friendly for some little time.
Felix took advantage of his silence to
extol his merits, saying he knew words
in English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish.
"Of course, not vaire mooch, vous
conprenez. Mais! e 'es not vaire we'll
just now"
AS Felix said this he winked slyly at
his visitors. The parrot ruffled up his
feathers at this and was extremely vol
uble for the space of minute or SO, in
which he remarked that his "sante"
was ''tres bien." As if to prove it he
hummed a few words of song of the
boulevards and wound up with couple
of bars of ''The Marsellaise."
''How is that for high?" he inter-
rogated, as he swung gayly to and fro
on his perch.
The antithesis to Felix's parrot is to
be found in the possession of theat-
rical manager up town. He is the
owner Of parrot, a truly beautiful bird,
by the way, who, while he has never
been known to utter word in any lam
guage familiar to man, get seems to
possess a keen sense of humor. This
parrot is frequently present at operate
rehearsals, but it is when new aspirant
for fame behind the footlights is
demonstrating his or her ability as a
singer that this parrot comes out
strongly. When the singer is in the
most touching part of the music the
parrot will break into paroxysm Of
laughter, with a great clio! Ho! Hor'
The sound is lifelike in the extreme,
and the effect on the bewildered singer
is more easily imagined than described.

the sun came in and kissed her hair
and face. She fondled and caressed
her letter, she turned it over and over
in her little work-hardened hands. She
postponed the greater happiness she
never doubted the contents would give
her. She feasted heart and eyes on the
outside. Then she broke the seal, and,
in the full red light, read:
.LIsErTE MY AIN. NY ONE LOVE: They,
tell rne am dying, and with my last strength
1 would tell ye o. my love for ye. l hae ever
loved ye. When I went back for ye that Yule-
tide, he-Clyde Burgn, told me ye had gone
and left ma word for me, and 1 believed him
forgive me, Lisette. When 1 went away to
forget ye, I couldna. And when they brought
me hame to die no told me that yc had been
true to me, that he wanted ye for his own
bride. But we will be happy yet, ye will soon
come up hame, and will be waitin' ye. Good
by. Yer ain, KENNETH"
A little stifled moan, and the white
faced girl slid down on the floor, her
head bowed on her arms The twi-
light came in and filled the room. Then
1t changed to gloom, and then the stars
began to twinkle. And still she knelt
there, quiet, save now and then moan,
and low murmur of Kenneth, Ken
meth, my ain Kenneth. Father, moth
er." And now the stars were hidden,
and darkness filed the room. A storm
was brooding, muffied thxlnder filed
the air. The lightning flashed all around
her, but still she knelt. And now the
rain poured in torrents over her,
through the open window. She raised
her head, and dragged herself back into
the room, but still the pitiless rain beat
over her. She lay there still and mo-
tionless, now sob broke the stiffness,
and then all was still.
The bright sunshine of the morning
bcamed into the room. 1t fell on the
little figure that lay there, cold and
still. 1T caressed her hands, her eyes,
her white lips. The soft breeze came
in to play in the beautiful, unbound
hair. man with pale, sad face
came up to the window to give the girl
good morning; he started back in ter
ror and grief. They gathered around
her soon, her neighbors and friends,
and they said, as they placed her gen.
uy on her little white bed, and lifted
the curls, SO damp and clinging, from
her sweet, white face:

country."-Louise Lupton, in Yankee
