A WONDERFUL PARROT.
He Pressed the Button and the House
hold Did the Rest.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.


A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from Mexico, and who brought
with him parrot which he purchased
in Vera Cruz, has been very much as
tonished at some tricks which that bird
has learned during the few days he has
been in the house. The birds owner,
Colonel Howard Johnson, occupies a
beautiful residence in the suburbs, and
Jocko has, from the first, shown the
livelieSt interest in all his Surroundings.
1t was very soon found that he could
not be allowed his liberty in Mrs. John
sons room, as he at once formed ter
rible antipathy to beautiful panther
skin rug, in which the head is remark
ably life-like, and the moment he was
released be would make for the rug and
begin biting savagely at the eyes and
nose. He escaped from his cage one
day and almost demolished the nose OF
the rug, and after that he was chained
TO his perch.
1t happened that for several days in
succession the perch stood by the wall,
close beside the electric bell. When
Mrs. johnson pressed the button Jocko
took notes, with his head on one side
and most inQuiring air, aiterward
Jocko gave faint croak of astonish-
ment. After witnessing this performance
several times it was evident that Jocko
began to see some connection between
the button and the servant. He spent
great deal of time studying the but
ton, running his beak softly around it,
and apparently communing with him.
self, his mistress watching him mean
while, highly amused at his cleverness.
At last, whether accidentally or other
wise, Jocko discovered the connection
and pressed the button. The next mo-
ment a servant appeared, and the little
schemsr Strengthened up and said with
great gravity: "Jocko's hungry" His
mistress shouts of laughter and the
servants astonishment did not in the
least discompose him. He had rung for
what he wanted, and he insisted on hav-
ing it. The scheme worked well, to
Jocko's manifest delight. He rang the
bell again before half an hour, and re-
marked to the servant who answered
the call: "Well, you are daisy! Jocko
wants watern
Colonel Johnson is so delighted with
his birds accomplishment that he in
vited some friends in to witness it last
night. Jocko was inclined to sulk at
first, but finally frightened up, and was
soon working at the button. When the
servant entered Jocko posed himself on
one foot, swung his body too and fro In
4 most affected way, and exclaimed:
Hello, Tom, is that you? Bring an
other bottle OF wine, will your Colonel
Johnson, be it understood, is church
member, and his minister was present,
and the Colonel insists that Joeko caught
this trick before he came into his
hands.

THE SECRET SOCIETIES
MASONRY.

At the last regular communication OF
Ohio Lodge No. /, there was full at
tendance of brethren present, ana tney
! were highly entertained with an elaoo-
rate report Of the doings Of the Grand
Lodge of West Virginia, which re-
Gently convened at Martinsburg, by our
Jealous Brother and Past Master,
| Stephen Waterhouse Jr., representative
OF the lodge, and we would say TO
/ those Of the brethren who retired be-
fore the report, that they missed a
treat, but nodoUbt our good brother can
be induced to report again at the next
meeting9
We must say of Brother Waterhouse
that he attended to the every Masonic
duties required Of him most satisfactor-
lily, and in his duty towards US he
was unwavering, and displayed much
zeal in showing US about the city OF
Martinsburg, in viewing the rocks, and
in seeing the sights, especially two OF
their most important industries, one
pulverizing rock TO powder, for purposes
unexplained, the other the Government
bonded stores, wherein is hooped that

any ward OF our city, if loaded on the
citizens Of the same; but we are salts

rather an indigestible power, but the
latter as a tonic would improve diges-

On Friday morning Nelson Lodge No.
80 was called out to attend the funeral
of their deceased brother, w. A. Todd,
who had been confined with consump-
tiOn for q number OF months. Bro. Todd
is a son of w. c. Todd, Of Cameron, a
prominent man in all things in that Sec
ton of Marshall county. The deceased
brother was formerly member OF the
Masonic Lodge at Fairmont, where he
Identified therefrom but few years ago.
The brother was buried with the cere-
monies Of the order by the w. M. Bro.
Darrah, assisted by S. w. Bro Vardy,
and Rev. Bro. Fullerton as chaplain.
On Monday evening Wheeling Com
mandery held a regular conclave and
there was q full attendance of Jealous
Knights in full armor prepared for the
fray and to conquer, but the enemy
came not TO the camp, and therefore
there was no warfare, and consequently
the warriors were not kept in rank but
a short time.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge
held their regular communication and
worked the third. A fue specimen of
fellow craft was made Master by
the efficient workers of No. 80, and the
fDlI attendance Of brethren were more
than pleased with the good work done

cabochon stars, which also appear In
the jacket.
The costume shown in the last Illus
tration is made OF bottle green .Pekin,
with train of dark green velvet.
There are rosettes of velvet on the hips
and at the bottom OF the front.
In the line of tailor made note some
very stylish gowns, some OF them In
crepon or vicuna cloth, made with plain
skirt in front and fan plated at the
back, broad hens at the bottom set OIL
with several rows OF stitching. The ian
plaits must be made before finishing the
bottom. The sides Of the back ex-
tend to the bottom of the basques
and are fuller below the waist,
so they may cross at the back. The
corsage closes in the middle and the
plastron starts from the right side. 1t
edged with a mohair or silk gallon, ana
closes with very small hooks aud SIX
eyes, and two buttons at the waist ana
at the shoulder give it finish. The
BASQUE has no seam in the front. 1t Is
sewed to the waist with point In front,
and the opening follows the line OF the
plastron. There Is straight turn
down collar, edged with gallon and
full sleeves with deep cuffs. also edged
with the gallon.
The bonnets of the season are excess
lively small as far as their size goes and
expressively large as far as the bill
goes. Girls over twenty-five are, with
a couuetry that Is charming, assuming
the small bonnets favored In England,
for it gives them an opportunity to say:
"Well, you know, I'm beginning to get
quite old now, and don't want people
to say that am dressing too young!'
When a pair OF bright eyes look right
straight up into masculine face, and
the complexion, which is clear as cream,
is visible, the man wonders IL the girl is
really In earnest or II she has any idea
how absolutely sweet and young she
does look. This is one OF the charms
of the art OF dressing. The woman who
is not afraid TO dress little older than
she is is tho woman who is going to
look young for all time. Remember
that do not mean the girl who dresses
like dowdy, but mean the one who
assumes the bonndt that is tiny bit
matronly.
