Religion that Parrot Could Scare.

Exchange.
A good story is told of parrot
who had always lived on board of a
ship, but who escaped at one of the
Southern ports and took refuge in a
church. Soon after, when the con-
gregation assemebled and the preach
er began preaching to them in his
earnest fashion, saying that there
was no virtue in them-that every
one of them would go to endless per-
dition unless they speedily repented.
Just as he spoke the sentence up
spoke the p9rrot from his hiding
place: "All hands below!" To say
that "all hands" were startled would
he a mild way Of putting it. The Pc
culiar voice and the unknown source
had much more effect on them than
the parsons voice ever had. He
waited moment, and then, shade
or two paler, he repeated the warn
ing. CAL hands below" again rang
out from somwhere. The preacher
started from his pulpit, and looked
anxiously around inquiring if any.
body had spoken. "All hands be-
levi" was the only reply, at which
the entire panic-stricken congrega-
ton got up, and a moment afterward
they all bolted for the doors, the
preacher trying his best to be first, land
during the time the mischievous
bird kept up yelling; "All hands be-
low!" There was one old woman
present who was lame, and could moi
get out as fast as the rest, and in q
short time was left entirely alone
Just as she was about to hobble out
the parrot flew down, and, alightine
en- her shoulder, yelled in her ear
GAN hands below!" "No, no, Mis-
ter Devilp' shrieked the old woman
"you can't mean me / go to the
other church across the way"

BABF,S CRIB.

Only baby's tiny crib,
In darkened, lonely room,
Only the sound Of mothers moan,
Heard in the deepening gloom.
A baby's footsteps forever still,
The blue eyes closed in sleep
The mothers heart o'erhows with tears,
AS she kneels by the crib to weep.
How the little arms had clasped her,
In the happy days gone by,
And the little voice had held her
With baby's cooling cry;
Now the tiny form is laid at rest,
And the crib is put away,
The mother cannot bear to look
Where once her darling lay,
"He giveth His beloved sleep"
She says to her lonely heart,
And, though she feels that the Lord knows
best,
Tears to her eyelids start;
And she bows her head upon the crib
Her lips form silent prayer,
Darkness spreads-the shadows fall,
Not alOne-for God is there.

Dogs Help Each Other to a Drink.

Chicago Herald.
The fountain ON the Clark Street
side of the county building was the
scene of very funny incident the
other afternoon. Two dogs, water
spaniels, were trotting north when
they came to this place and stopped
for drink. They were both thirsty,
but neither was tall enough to reach
the trough, and they talked the mat
ter over as dogs will, and wondered
why they had not been treated with
as much consideration as had the
horses. Presently they solved the
problem. One Of them ranged him.
self under the edge of the trough, and
the other, resting his forefeet upon
his companions back, was able to
reach into the pool and slake his
thirst. When he had finished he
hoped down, seemed to say the wa
ter was good, and then in turn rang
ed himself under the edge of the
fountain, and the other reached up
for the drink he had earned. When
he was satisfied they trotted away to-
gether, as we'll contented as any man
could be who had met problem
and vanquished it.

The Specie Groom on Shipboard.

November Scribner
In these days of heavy gold ship
ments the specie-room on the steam
ship is very important institution.
1t is located in an out-of-the-way
place amidships, under the saloon.
Few of the passengers know of its
existence, or of the valuable treasure
that is carried across the ocean with
them. The room varies slightly on
different ships, but is usually about
10 feet long, by 10 feet wide, and s
feet high. 1t is constructed of steel
plates one-quarter of an inch thick,
and strongly riveted together. The
floor, the ceiling, and the walls are
all of steel plates. There is heavy
door also made of steel. 1t is provid-
ed with two English "Chub" locks,
a variety of combination lock that is
said to be burglar-proof. The gold
and silver is usually in bars, but oc-
casionally quantity Of coin in bags
is shipped. This was the case when
the heavy shipments of gold were
made last spring. The Majestic is
credited with carrying the largest
quantity, her strong box having
$4,5OO,OOO intrusted to it for safe
keeping.
