of the Talking Bird.
A large cage full of young Cuban
parrots in front Of a Washington street
store attracts attention The birds are
from 3 to 3 months old and are just
the right age { % be taught TO make
bright remarks and ask for crackers.
They are beautiful in plumage and
seem to be in good condition generally.
A lady who understands parrots talked
TO a reporter about them.
when ! bought my parrot Polly
of course her name is Polly-she
couldn't talk at all. But in Eve months
she could say good morning. good
night '~tra-la-la.' 1 guess yes and
she's my Annie. I'm her Joe. she's my
that's as far as she could 20 in that
song-and many other things When
a parrot once learns anything thor
oughly il j. eve forgotten They
should be made TO get each sentence
learned perfectly before anything new
is said 60 them. Some parrots. "a good
many. in fact. never learn 90 talk az
all"
Parrots require but very little care,
and make pleasing pets. They must
be protected against dampnesS. and no
food that has a grain Of salt in it must
be allowed IN their cage.
Parrots are of great antiquity.
Ctesias. who wrote q century before
Aristotle. refers plainly 10 parrots when
he writes in his ''Judica' of "a bird
with a purple face and black beard,
about the size of a sparrow hawk,
which could speak the Indian Ian
guage."
1t is 81 lnge that no representation
of a parro, has as yet been discovered
in Egyptian art. And do you know
that the Bible makes no reference 70
parrotsl The first parrots were brought
to the notice of Greece. and later 70
Rome. by Alexander on his world con.
quering expedition. He brought them
from India In fact. there is a species
named after that ambitious young gen
tleman who sighed for more worlds 70

Paleornis, if you care about the exact
name.
That Africa had parrots was not dis
covered until much later. Explorer.
of Nero found the first African pol

These birds were highly priced by tbs
luxury loving Romans from the first
The moralists Of the time looked a;
them askance. More than one famou'
classical poet wrote odes 20 them. Tn,
Roman parrots enjoyed life. They were
lodged in tortoise shell cages with sii
yer and ivory wires
But, unfortunately. they were also
occasionally esteemed as table delica
cies. One emperor is said TO have
tossed them 10 his lions as tidbits With
the fall Of the Roman empire parrots
became an unknown quantity almost
until the close Of the Fifteenth century.

Tea and Old China Teapots in America.
Nor can you implicitly rely upon the
traditional age of a piece Of china
Many persons do not realize for how
short a time we have had tea, and /
have been shown many a teapot ''over
200 years old or brought over in the
Mayhower, -" some even 300 years old. ~
Pepys in his diary wrote in 1861 Of tea
as "a China drink of which | had never
drunk before" 1t cost. in 1866, sixty
shiIlings a pound, and ! can hardly
think with tea at that price that our
frugal Pilgrim Fathers had much use
for teapots. OF course the marks on
these aged teapots also prove them to
be of much more recent manufacture,
and in point of fact we know that tea
wa not used in America until 1710.-

The Presidents letter of instructions to de-
partment heads concerning promotions and the
annual report Of the civil service commission
ers have, each, a wide interest as marking mo-
gressive steps in the reform. The President
had heretofore suggested, in his message to the
first session Of the Fifty-frst Congress, that the
heads OF executive departments keep a record
In each bureau and that rating be made
showing the relative merits of the clerks Of
each class, to be regarded as test Of merit for
promotions In some departments this was
done He now directs that plan be devised
In ali the departments for carrying ont thu =
system OF record and promotion. The civil
service COMMISSIONER report includes n sum-
mary history of the examinations &c, and n
discussion Of the principle Of competition. its
advantages and its.resulss. Reference is made
to the extension of the classified service and i'm
portantchangesin the rules-features heretofore
adverted TO in The STAR and which have met
with general approval The commission ex-
press themselves as entirely satisfied with the
way In which the civil service law has been en-
forced in the departmental service at Wash
ington. and say that the question of politics
has been practically eliminated in making re-
movals and appointments Special reference
IL made to the filing Of the quotas of the
southern states A fair proportion OF coIored
men from those states has been appointed. An
examination Of the report must be gratifying
to every friend Of the merit system and good
government.
