Carnivorous Parrots.

The kea, or mountain parrot, of New
Zealand, a greenish- brown bird, formerly
as harmless as others of his class, has de-
veloped a carnivorous habit as fastidious
as that of epicures. It used to feed on
the berries that grew luxuriantly on the
hills, but it has changed that simple
diet since the multiplication of sheep;
perhaps fires, too, made that natural
food scarce. 1t now takes terrible re-
venge on its unconscious enemy.
Fastening itself on the back of a poor
sheep, perhaps stuck in a snowdrift, and
savagely tearing away wool, skin and
flesh, it plunges its powerful beak into
the kidney fat, which it devours, and
then, leaving one victim to die in agony,
goes off i'll search of another. Thoagh it
is us difficult to feel individual affection
for sheep where they are slaughtered by
millions as it would be to care for hogs
in Chicago, the most unsentimental
shepherd cannot refrain from pitying
one of his own flock that he finds in such
condition, and from invoking malelic.
tons on the whole race of keas.
How they found out that kidney fat
was such a delicacy can only be con-
jectured-perhaps in the samo indirect
manner in which Charles Lambs China
man discovered that young roast tpig was
good: kea saw sheep devouring his
regular supply of food and defending
his property with what beak and claws
he had, bis tongue came in contact acci-
dentally with kidney fat. From that
moment the satisfaction of appetite and
The qualification of vendetta were united,

A Chinaman boarded Market street
Car and handed the conductor a five cent
piece. That official rang up fare on
the register and, while making change
for another passenger, put the China
mans nickel in his mouth. In going
around the curve by the public buildings
the car gave lurch and tho conductor
swallowed the coin. The fact Of what
the result might be to his digestion didn't
seem to trouble him so much as being
short In his cash. His first move was to
put the Celestial off the car, but the fare
had already been registered and he spent
the remainder of the trip in trying to
figure whether he was five cents out or
five cents in, or both.-Philadelphia

A Dream That Located Lost Shears.


What's in dream? Nothing, of
course, say most people, and specially
those practically inclined. Sometimes
their faith in this statement is some
what shaken however. Such was the
case with an Augusta (Me.) woman.
She had lost pair of shears several
months before, but the incident had
passed from her mind, when of an after
noon she fell asleep on the sofa and
dreamed that she had discovered the
scissors were about the sofa. Waking,
she began to grope around. Finally she
started to look under the sofa, and Just
as sho placed her hand on the carpet she
remarked, "What fool am" At that
instant her hand camo in contact with
the scissors, which had lain under the
carpet since it was put down.-Ex-

VOICES.

Dcccmbcr's wind was keen and shri1l;
The streets were desert, bleak and bare;
Icould but inly feel the thrill
OF wintry sky and lcaden air,
Made but more lcaden in tho glare
or lamp and gas, as on tho car
There fell voice whose faded trill
Gave little sign of merrie cheer;
For Fortunes hardest shafts are hurled
On hearts that hunger through tho world.
The face was thin and wan; the frock
So tattcrcd, scanty, old and thin,
Was feeble screen to meet the shock
OF cold without and cold within:
Yet ever clear above the din
There rose: 1.-The thief rcjoiccd to see
That fountain in his day:" to mock
1t did but seem her misery,
And Fortunes hardest shafts but hurled
On hearts that hunger through tho world.
II will not leave thee nor forsake,"
Is yet the only voice that cheers
The aching heart Of man to slakc
His weary lot Of hopes and fears
Fraii pendulum 'twiXt smiles and tears!-
To find haven safe at last,
And anchorage therein to take,
From the keen wind and biting blast
OF Fortunes shafts, no longer hurled
On hearts that hungcrcd through the world.

What spectacles Haye Done.

Eyeglasses are commonly ground with
equal convexity on both sides. The ma
terial for their manufacture is both
glass and a kind of stone called Brazilian
pebble. 1t is really a rock crystal OF
very fine quality and does not resemble a
"pebble" in any particular. Spectacles
have alleviated more misery than all
other human agencies, because there is
no sorrow equal to that caused by i'm
paired sight.-St. Louis Republic.

A General Die, a Monk.

Just thirty years ago General Nicolai,
son of the well known ambassador, and
whose name was once on everybody's
lips in connection with the Russian war,
mysteriously disappeared. Last week,
as Father John Louis, he died at Grande
Chartreuse in consequence of an acci-
dent, and it turns out that his cell has
been given to nephew of one of the De
Broglies, who is known as Father Dom
Charles, and he had long been believed
by his former friends of the Jockey
club to be travelling in the interior OF
Africa.-Buffalo Enquirer.
