wHEnE PARROTS COME from.
What They Cost, Where They Are
Caught, How They Are Trained
From the Nelo York Tribune.

| CauSnt, HOW T66Y Are Vratp0d
From the New York Tribune.
On Sixth avenue elevated train the other
evening was short, thin man, tanned evi
IDENTIFY by exposure in the tropics. He car
ried, covered over with a plaid gingham
apron, a curious old.fashioned cage In which
there was fine young green parrot This
parrot" be said, ''is young bird, and as
/ you see well trained. There are two ways
Of getting these birds, by trapping and by
catching the young birds In the nest
A trapped bird is wild and it takes two
years to train it, for it bites and fights like
'soger' This young one was trained in
twelve months. Every six weeks l go to
Venezuela on sailing vessel and try to
bring back fifty parrots with me. The In
dams catch them up the Orinoco river and
whenever vessel comes into port there is
lively scramble on the part OF the natives
who have parrots or anything else to dis
pose Of. The training OF parrots is regu-
lar business for many of the natives in the
seaport towns OF Venezuela, and whenever
l have touched at the ports of Brazil or
Colombia found it much the same, except
that Brazilian parrots are harder to get
along the coast. Indians do nearly all the
trapping, far up in the interior.
This parrot is for friend of mine In
Forty-ninth street, to whom l have prom
lseu one LOT Two years, Dub could never PICK
up really fine one. When am in port l
have so little time that have 30 take such
birds as are offered. If were going to sell
this one l should ask $40, although nv
regular price for young bird is S. That
is what the bird fanciers pay me for them,
and they cost me "a. That is what paid
for this one six weeks ago at Laguayra,
He speaks Spanish, OF course, and swears
like trooper in dialect of Indian and
Spanish. His last owners in the city of
Laguayra have taught him all of the latest
slang they knew.
yes" he continued. "s1 is all make on
one Of these parrots, while on O trapped
bird there is only about so cents to be made.
| buy them for 81 or SO so and sell them
for so cents advance. They get awful sea-
sick on even an ordinary voyage and re-
quire as much attention as sick baby, and
many OF them get so lonesome when they
are shut up alone in the hold that they die
of a broken heart 1t seems to me.
20, how easy they die" refectively
sighed the man. ION one trip / was bring
ing up seventy fine parrots and when we
were only three days out they began to take
sick and die. The ships doctor said it was
kind of infectious pneumonia. At any
rate they all died but two. That was bad
voyage for me-"

DIR. w. W. Owens, surgeon OF the regi-

mad charge Of the surgical depart .
ment OF the camp during the
first week of the last encampment and
would probably have been appointed TO the
position this year. He would have liked to
nave gone into camp this year with the
regiment, but there is one reason on account
which he does no regret his inability to
attepd. The expense of the medical depart
ment OF the camp last year was S13S for
the three weeks. This year the advisory
board has limited the appropriation for
the medical department to 800 for the Ave
weeks, and this is divided into $50 for each
week. If there should be much sickness this
year, the appropriation for medicines will
be entirely insufficient and the attending
physicians would be consequently hamp-
cred.
OF course. no enlisted man at the camp
would be allowed to suffer for medicine 10
any case, but the physician or the officer of
the company or the man himself have to go
down In their pockets for the medicine,
which would be awkward to say the least.
To guard against anything of this kind it
Is understood that Col. Garrard has ordered
Surgeon Wegefsrth of the Guards to lay in a
supply of medicines for the battalion before

DR.. Owens has suggested to the quarter
master general that the appointment Of a
surgeon general of the state would be emi-
nently proper under the clrcums ances, and
in fact is rendered almost necessary by the
annual state enoampments.

surgeon upon the advisory board at least.

may be expected to keep during any CORE
spending month.

Der Of days with .O1 of an inch or
