A Parrots Conceit.

My aunt had a parrot that had been
taught to sing the first stanza of "There
Is a Happy Land" and Polly was very
proud Of her voice. One day a neigh
Dor brought over her canary to be kept
while she was away from home. No
sooner would the canary commence sing
ing than Polly would bristle her feathers
and cry out: "You don't sing right you
don't sing right Hear Polly singv
Then Polly would execute There Is a
Happy Land" to the best of her ability.
One evening my uncle, who is some
what deaf, was telling me that there was
a concert in the town hall, and he should
like to 60, but did not think he could
hear. Whereupon the parrot shrieked:
"Polly'll sing! Polly1l make you heary'
The gentleman turned courteously to
her. Thank you. Polly! Ill stay at
home and hear you'll" he said. She danced
about her cage in delight beautiful
Polly! Polly can sing!" she kept saying
softly to herself, with pride in her &C
complishment that was amusing to see

AragO'g MOdeAtv.

Arago, the great French scientist, was
never seen with a decoration on his
breast. He valued honors slightly. One
evening Leverrier. the astronomer, called
on him on his way to dine with minis
ter. He expressed wish to appear
decorated with an order, to which he
was entitled, having received the official
notice Of the honor. although he had not
as yet the decoration itself.
"Open that drawer" said Arago, land
take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and emperors
confer.
While Arago wished above everything
to pro1nulgate science and to make his
researches useful, he did not attempt to
identify himself forever with his dis.
coveries by writing books. He had nc
time for writing, but contented himself
with noting the results Of his work in the
record o. the bureau Of longitude, or an.
nouncing it verbally to the academy

Women Professors.

What is there 80 incongruous in a
woman professor in universities, where
men are educated with women? This is
the question Mrs. Nj. Louise Thomas and
others are asking. who are trying to
raise funds to endow woman's chair in
a northern university. Why is it that a
woman teacher is deemed so necessary
through all the grades, from the primary
to those Of the graduating class of the
high school, and yet she should be
deemed so pernicious and disastrous in
colleges? Whether these are good rea.
sons or not, the experiment is to be
given fair trial, for very recently the
bill providing for woman professor
ship at the State University of Michigan
has become law.
Not far behind comes the news also
that the University of Denver, which
numbers about 800 students, has con
ferred on woman the honor of naming
an important professorship after her

after as the Mary Lowe Dickinson chair

ceived as an endowment from ex-Gov
ernor John Evans the sum Of S5O,0OO.-

the owner is justly proud.

eaten with the cattle, lying down among
the calves and displaying neither fear mol

Mr.. Gallagher goes among the stock
and frequently passes within two o,
three feet of his bearship, not only in the
yard but in the woods. He pays no at
tention to the bear and the latter never
offers to modest him-on the contrary,
eats with evident satisfaction pieces OF
bacon and other scraps from the table
that are thrown ont to him. The bear
is handsome 300 pound fellow and ap-

taken up their abode at this place, the
first pair coming there about FIVE years

gave them to a neighbor, who in turn

Something AhOut Money.

There is no place on this wide earth of
ours where there is nothing to sell or no
money to buy with. The kinds of money
people are forced to use would make our
boys who are familiar with gold. silver
and crisp green paper laugh. Think of
currency all the way from strips of odor-
ferrous dried fish to beautiful nature pol
ished sea shells and bright birds plum
age.
OF course we speak Of money in its
broad sense, meaning something con-
venient to carry, Of standard value, to
be used in exchange or trade; something
that costs labor to get or make, and Of
which every man thinks it would be
good to get plenty. The pieces Of
leather of the Greeks with the rude
figure of an OK scratched upon them,
standing for real OK, were just like our
bank notes.-Philadelph Press

brine is evaporated in iron caldrons, the

with her while moving the household
goods from one place to another. Old
brooms would be left behind and new
ones bought. A cat also would be left
