derful Parrot.
New York Recorderl
Ben Lusbie, who for Is years was
the greatest feature Of Barnum's
circus, in the capacity-of lightning
ticket seller" had a wonderful par
rot, which had been presented to
him byone Of the canvassmen of the
show, who was at one time sailor
ona steamer plying between Boston
and Fernandino, in the Bahamas.
Lusbie used to have way of qui-
citing the scrambling mob of ticket
purchasers around the tickt-wagon
by saying: Don't be in hurry
people!" "There's plenty of time!"
"Don't crowd each other!" Gone
at a time, gentlemen" and such
likeexpressions. The parrot, which
was perched on a safe in the wagon
just back Of Lusbie, got to learn
these speeches after a seasons tour,
and often broke out in a piercing
squawk with one of them, much to
Lusbie's amusement. The parrot,
which was quite little vagabond,
broke loose from her letters one
day, and few over in neighboring
woods, near the circus grounds. A
searching party was made up, and
they had not proceeded far before
they heard vast racket, apparently
made by squawking birds. Hast
ening to the scene they found poor
Poll clinging as best she could tc
: the limb of dead tree, surrounded
7 by a screaming flock Of CROWS. The
: parrot had only two or three tai
l feathers left, and the hostile crows
: we're striking pecking, and pluck
ing her right and left. Hanging
l on as best she could, the parrot was
! shrilly screaming: Gone at a time

There's plenty more left"

You see, as a matter of fact, there
are blood-vessels and nerves inside
the bones just as there are outside.
Anyone who has purchased beef
steak at the market knows about
the marrow in the bones. It is the
same with other animals than the
bullock, including human beings.
Through the marrow run the nerves
and blood-vessels, entering the
bones from the flesh without by
little holes, which you can see for
yourself any time by examining the
skeleton, or part Of one. When the
disease called rheumatism, which
no physician understands, affects
the nerves within the bones, no way
has been discovered for treating it
successfully. Itdoes notdo tosmile

The Russian Ukrsine is the real

all the counting is done by women.
The man has nothing to do with the

melancholy" She buckles on the
armor Of her affections and without

not love her? Then sheplants her
