A Dealer In Those Animals Tells Some
 Interesting Things
 There are a good many bird stores about this big town, where not only birds but other curiosities are on sale, says the New York World. 'How about parrots2" I asked "rbe demand is increasing at this season." "Ilow SOP" 'l do not know. it always does. A good parrot is considered company for many people these long winter even ings. Some of our birds are good talk CTS" What do you mean by good takers? How many words or phrases are at the command of a clever parrot?'' 'Some of the best of them can speak as many as fifteen or twenty words. They can say they are hungry, thirsty, cold, good day, ta-ta, and all that; but you must remember the most enjoyable feature of the bird is its grotesque mimicry, utterly incapable of being ex- plained. A fine parrot will go on initiating to the end of its days. In a few years ii will be able to repeat an astonishing amount of chaff. If you re- gard this as talking, why their vocabul ary is unlimited"

 well. are the frogs used for aluari. ums?"
 ''I suppose SO"
 And the tree toads?"
 Are in big demand by young doctors and chemists, who are anxious to learn something of the circulation of the blood. The tree toad has legs that arc almost transparent. The young doctor takes the leg. spreads it out under s microscope, and can see the blood cor puscles chasing each other here and there in the veins of the leg of the toad. We sell hundreds of tree toads for this purpose every month. Come around some time and I'll borrow a microscope and we'll try it ourselves"

Penny wI.e and Pound reo,l.h.

Man, in his greed for gain, not infre- quently kills the goose that lays the golden egg" This is illustrated iE the conduct of French peasants, who. when the price of land increased enormously, cut down the hedges and substituted thin fences This result has been to de prive the birds of nesting places and consequently. to drive them away. Con sequently. insects, in the absence ot their natural enemy, have rapidly in. creased, and are destroying the crops which formerly were protected by the birds.

German Syrup"

Here is something from MT. Frank A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt House, Lewiston, and the Tontine Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men meet the world as it comes and goes, and are not slow in sizing people and things up for what they are worth. He says that he has lost a father and several brothers and sis ters from Pulmonary Consumption, and is himself frequently troubled
 with colds, and he Hereditary often coughs enough
 to make him sick at Consumptionhis stomach. When
 ever he has taken a cold of this kind he uses Boschee s German Syrup, and it cures him every time. Here is a man who knows the full danger of lung trou- bles, and would therefore be most particular as to the medicine he used. What is his opinion? Listen "1 use nothing but Boschee's German Syrup, and have advised, l presume, more than hundred different per sons to take it. They agree with me that it is the best cough syrup " toS uAAA eSes

prosperity. Under the policy of protec-
ton we are making magnificent progress.
The free and unrestrained Importation
of foreign goods and agricultural pro
ducts to be put into competition with
Maine's industries and labor will be det-
rimental to her interests and retard her
progress. Let US pursue a policy that
will encourage and build up rather than
retard and tear down. A protective tariff
has brought prosperity to the American
people and they will continue it.
The Close.
The closing speech, some 10 minutes
in length, was made by Col. Horace H.
Burbank of Saco, and was sharp and
pithy statement of the questions at issue
between the two parties, enlivened with
anecdote and illuminated by flashes of
lofty and animated eloquence. Severe
and at times somewhat saucy in its ar
raignment of the curiously inconsistent
attitude of the Democracy, and fervid in
it's praise of the great deeds wrought by
the Republican party, it completely
caught the fancy of the audience and
was received with delighted laughter and
enthusiastic cheers.
Col Burbank's bright and 'scatchy"
speech was tine fitting finale to one of
the happiest and most harmonious gath
erings ever held by the Republicans of
Y York county.

under the direction of Prof. F. A. Bow
doin with Miss Jones as pianist.
The members of the quartette were
Messrs Bowdoin and Waterhouse, Miss
Lizzie Brown and Mrs. Bowdoin. Miss
Brown also sang a serenade, after which
for an encore she sang "Annie Laurie"
This morning at a. m. Miss Gertrude
Stone gave a suggestive lesson to her

sidered and of these tact was especially
emphasized.

The lecture at II a. m. was delivered
by Mr.. Harry W. Kimball of Portland, a
recent graduate Of Bowdoin College, The
subject was "The English Romantic
Drama" He said literary lecture was
of necessity dull to the majority of peo-
pie when compared with those upon the
ology and other matters. 1t does not.
deal with live issues, and is never liked
except by those who love literature. The
drama is valuable and instructive. 1t
once held high place in the regard of
the people. but it has now become degen-
crate. Yet, founded on religion and
linked to the deepest passions of our ma
ture, it still holds the truest place in the
human heart.

ed in an eloquent and enthusiastic man
ner that charmed her audience. She
spoke of the early discoveries of the
Norsemen in North America. which is
really the old world. She said that no
one knew where Columbus was born and
although 10 cities claim him there has
never been found a record of his infant
baptism. Neither does anyone know
where he is buried, although three cities
claim that he sleeps within their limits.
His ancestors were undoubtedly pirates,
and Columbus had once or twice been
engaged in that questionable work. His
true name was Nicholas Colon. He bore
this name until his baptism into the Cath
olic church, near the age of 30years.
