Which greatly assists Ia the work Of
extracting teeth. The parrots name
Is Cesar" ;" He Is fine specimen of
his species his intelligence being some
thing marvellous. Dr.. Weller, who has
charge OF the rooms. says he would
not part with the bird for any money.
And no wonder; the parrot brings
grist to his mill. The bird does its work
! this way:
! A man comes to have his tooth pull
ed. He gets into the chair and then
his courage fails him. He tells the
dentist that the pain has gone away
and that he will postpone the opera.
ton until the next day. In nine cases
out OF ten the dentist Is unable to per-
suade the patient that it will be to his
bodily comfort to have the molar ex-
tracted. Then, when the man gets up
out OF his chair, the parrot. who has
been watching him all the time, takes
him In charge.

The man looks around in consterna-

big cage behind the screen. The man
with the toOthache turns around To
the knight Of the forceps and inquiries:

goes back to the chair and has the
tooth removed. Then the parrot
jumps all around his cage and saws:

There was no trouble in pulling the
