The various inscriptions found on the blades of swords may be said to constitute literature in themselves This cutlery poetry" as Shakespeare calls it. is not the least interesting fes- ture of Q sword collection Hundreds of Toledo rapiers were engraved with the wise council, Do not draw nc without reason, do not sheathe me without honor" On an old FefraxA blade is the following inscription, My value varies with the hand that hoads me" A b@ttle ax of formidable ap- pearance bears the comfortable assur- ance, "When go up you go down, |" and on an old Hungarian sword is in- scribed, ''He that thinks not as do thinks falsely"
 Besides the mottoes on the blades are engraved the makers name and address or the owners arms. During the Sixteenth century warriors regarded elaborately ornamented hilts with as much interest as we look on works of art at the present day. The blades of Italian swords were also sometimes beautifully ornainented. Kate Fields Washington.

That was a delightful characteristic of Sir Walter Scott that forbade him suffering from that most wearing in- fliction, the bore. ''I have rarely, fl ever," he says, found any one out oi whom I could not extract amusement or edification. Perhaps, after all. the credit should go to Sir Walters circum- stances rather than to his temperament. Given a study door lon the jar" a definite task to be accomplished in a given time, and a realization that every moment of that time was money. and possibly Sir Walter might have modified his expressions of content Under those conditions bore Is a very palpable reality out of whom the extraction of amusement must be fine art.-Boston Commonwealth

 A gentleman who has returned from Mexico, and who brought with him . parrot which he purchased in Vera Cruz, has been very much astoniShed at some tricks which that bird has learned during the few days he has been in the house. The birds owner, Colo nel Howard Johnson. occupies a beanti- fui residence in the suburbs, and Jocko has from the first shown the liveliest interest in all his surroundings It was very soon found that he could not bs allowed his liberty in Mrs Johnsons room, as he af once formed terrible antipathy to a beautiful panther skin rug. in which the head Is remarkably lifelike. and the moment he was re- leased he would make for the rug and begin biting savagely at its eyes and nose He escaped from his cags one day and almost demolished the noss of the rug. and after that he was chained Co his perch.
 It happened that for several days in succession the perch stood by the wall, close beside the electric bell Whan Mrs Johnson touched the button. Jocko took notes with his head on one side and most inquiring air, and when the servant appeared immediate ly afterward Jocko gave faint croak cf astonishment After witnessing this performance several times it was evi- dent that Jocko began to see some con- nection between the button and the servant.
 He spent great deal of time study ing the button, running his beak softiy around it, and apparently communing with himself. his mistress watching him meanwhile, highly amused at his clever- ness At last, whether accidentally or otherwise, Jocko discovered the con- nection and pressed the button. The 'next moment servant appeared, and the little schooner strengthened up and said with great gravity, "Jocko's hun gry." 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 in- sisted on having it.
 The scheme worked well, to Jockc's manifest delight He rang the bell again before half an hour, and rc- marked to the servant who answered the call: Well, you are a daisyi Jocko wants wateri"
 Colonel Johnson is so delighted with his birds accomplishment that he in- vited some friends in to witness 1t last night. Jocko was inclined to sulk as first, but finally frightened up, and was soon working at the button When the servant entered Jocko poised himself on one foot. swung his body to and fro in a most affected way, and exclaimed: Hello, Tom, Is that youf Bring in another bottle of wine, will your

QUEER TsLEeRAPH MESSAGES.

p.tnetic and the Ridiculous in the
 operater's Experience
 prohably it is the sense of the incon- spous that takes effect, but 1t is cer- tain that death messages are more often ridiculous than any others Surely It was a dutiful and sympathetic child who wired. Mamma kicked yesterday; xIll try to make burial Monday" and the number of people who do not hed- tate to make funeral arrangements while the prospective corpse is still alive is simply astounding. We are all well hut Sam. and be died yesterday" was nrobably indicative only of the sender's desire to break the news gently-not of any fears for ''Sam's" future happiness And it is scarcely to be supposed that any ehostly visitation induced the com munication, "Your mother is dead and wants you to come home"
 'Just send five to help me; am starv- ing by telegraph" was the cry of one impecunious soul, and the wonder has been since as to the exact method of urocedure in a case Of starving by telegraph. .
 Another source of amusement to the telegraph operator Is in the curious names which come up in the course of business. When Mrs. "Whetstone" and Mrs. 'Firmstone" send telegrams in one day the question arises as to their possible relationship, and whether Mir. .Morningstar" and MT. Winter night" are neighbors might be an inter esting discussion.
 Mir. Raspberry Smith" gives inter nal evidence of Afro-American nomen- Iclasure, and ''Gooseberryn is, beyond all dispute, the name of colored fam |ily. Mir. ''Richwine" and MT.

Even "Humbird" comes in oc- |casionally. and "Bosshardt" Is too sug- |gestve 10 be pleasant

All the muscles of the eyes are so ar ranged as to enable us to bring both eyes to bear on. the same object at once. If We wish to look to the right, an exterior muscle sets the right eye in motion, but an interior the left. Thus, we can look inward at the tip of the nose, but not outward, one eye to the left the other to the right, or one eye up the other down.-Chambers' Jour nal
