A Pittsburger who spent part OF
last summer In England tells an Incl
dent which sadly disturbed the reIig.
ious peace OF parish In Penzance.
A maiden lady OF that town owned
a parrot, which somehow acquired the
disagreeble habit OF observing, at
frequent intervals:
IL wish the old lady would die"
This annoyed the birds owner, who
spoke to her curate about II.
IL think we can rectify the matter,
replied the good man. II also have
a parrot. and he Is a righteous bird,
having been brought up Ia the way
he should 20. will lend you my
parrot, and | trust his influence will
reform that depraved bird OF yours"
The curates parrot was placed In
the same room with the wicked one,
and a. soon as the two had become
accustomed to each other the bad bird
remarked:
Il wish the old lady would die"
Whereupon the Clergyman bird
rolled up his eyes and Ia solemn ac-
cents added:
I'VE beseech Thee TO hear us, good
Lord T.
Tue story got out In the parish, and
for several Sundays IL was necessary
to omit the litany at the church ser
vices.

The Boy and The Lion.

THE most remarkable adventure l
know OF was that OF ten. .year-old
boy in Colorado said a st. Louis
man TO "a Republic reporter. "A party
Of us had gone from Pueblo for n
weeks hunting and fishing along the
Arkansas river. We carried tents
and camped out. A man named
Britton had lis young son with him,
manly little fellow, who could land
a trout and bring down nn antelope
with the best OF us. One day he got
separated from the party, lost his
way aud spent the night In the noun
tains. He had with him a 81 .caliber
rifle, good weapon for small game,
but in the section where we were
camped mountain lions were plenti-
full.
HIS father was well-nigh distract
ed, and we searched all night long
for the adventurous youngstcr with
out avail. Just at sun up we started
to return TO camp. As we descended
ravine we discovered the object Of
our search, sound asleep, with his
head pillowed on an enormous noun
tain lion, which was curled up as
though enjoying a nap. Three OF us
approached cautiously to within fifty
yards, drew a bead on the animal
and at given signal fired. The
brute never stirred. The boy, whom
we supposed dead, half rose, rubbed
his eyes and inquired peevishly
What are you fellers tryin' tdoi !
killed this yere lion four hours ago"

And There II Stopped.

Il made the awful mistake OF max
ing love to my own wife one day last
week. said w. T. Mason. as he drew
a chair up TO the charmed circle
where sat the story-tellers in the
Lindell ro,unda. II had been down
to Kankakee on business trip, and
took the night train for Chicago,
where reside.
"The coach was chock-a-b block, with
the exception OF one double seat,
which was occupied by stylish
looking woman, who sat by the win
dow and had her veil down. re-
ceived permission to occupy the seat
with her, and we were soon chatter
ing pleasantly. thought her voice
sounded familiar, but fat. had or
dained that should make an ass OF
myself
Il tried to get her to put up her
veil, but she objected that the cinders
got in her eyes. To make a long
story short. | struck up a desperate
Irritation with her. She admitted
that she was married, but said her
husband was grscsless scamp, who
was always flirting with other women
aud neglecting her.
"Of course, sympathized with her,
and told her that the man who ne
elected so charming a woman ought
10 be kicked to death by n blind
mule. Was | married. Certainly
not. Well, we finally reached Chi
cago, and | handed her into cab.
Then she lifted her veil. IL was my
wife This story stops right here"

How Pat Helped His Nag UP Hill.

/. il the graceful hint succeeds best.
II it is also witty, it is pretty sure to
prove irresistible. Up one Of tile
long hills of County Wicklow, says
the Utica Times, a mare was drawing
a heavy load OF travellers. The driy-
er walked by her side, trying to en-
courage her as she toiled slowly and
wearily along.
The six passengers were too busily
engaged in conversation 70 notice
how slowly the car progressed. Pres
emily the driver opened the door at
the rear Of the car and slammed II to
again. Those inside started, but
thought that he was only assuring
himself that the door was securely
closed.
Again Pat opened and slammed TO
the door. The travellers inquired an
griIy why he disturbed them in that
manner.
Whist he whispered, don't
spake so loud-she'll oyerhear u.s."
Who?"
THE mare. Spake low" he con-
tined, putting his hand over his mouth
and nose. Sure, I'm desavin' the
crayture, Every time she hears the
door sIammin' that way she thinks
one OF yez is gettin' down TO walk up
the hill and that raises her sperrets.'
The passengers took the hint.

REMEMBER THE POOR.

Remember the poor!
II fearfully snoweth,
And bitterly bloweth;
Thou couldst not endure
The tempest's wild power
Through nights dreary hour.
Then pity the poor
Remember the poor
The father is lying
In that hovel dying
With sickness of heart.
No voice cheers his dwelling,
A Saviour's love telling,
Ere life shall depart.
Remember the poor!
The widow is signing,
The orphans are crying,
Half starving for bread;
In mercy be speedy
To succour the needy
Their helper is dead
Remember the poor!
The baby is sleeping,
It's cheeks wet with weeping,
On It's mothers fond breast;
Whose cough, deep and hollow,
Foretells she'll soon follow
Her husband TO rest!
Remember the poor
To him who aid lendeth.
Whatever he spendeth
The Lord will repay; lhim'
And sweet thoughts shall cheer
And Gods love be near him,
In his dying day

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.
WONDERFUL GROWTH OF MANUFAC-
TURING AND PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTS.
Extensive Works Being Established in All
Southern States for Manufacturing Pro-
ducts Of the Soil-Cotton and Tim
Der Products Leading in I'm
portance.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 81
The quarterly statement of Southern
Industries prepared by The Trades
man, of Nashville, shows that for the
first quarter of 1893 new industries es.
tablished exceed those of the first
quarter of 1892 by 1877, while for the
first quarter of this year eight
development companies have been in
corporated. During the same period
for last year twenty-seven were form
ed. The quarter inst ended also
shows seventy-siX cotton and wooden
mills established, fifty-nine flour and
grist mills, twenty.nine canning fac.
tories, forty oil mills, and the build
ing of 80 water works plants.
The extensive timber interests of
the South are not only attracting at
tention but capital is shown by the
fact that 1876 new wood working plants
have been established during the first
quarter, as against l22 in 1892 and al
in the first quarter of 1891.
Tennessee heads the list with
thirty-three new industries in this
line to her credit, Georgia and North
Carolina are close rivals, with twenty
three and twenty-iour spectively.
All of the southern states, however,
are we'll represented in this develop.
ment, Mississippi with seven being
the smallest number.
y-civ
established in the quarter as against
twenty-eight in the first quarter OF
1892 and fOrty.five in the same period
of 1891, and the very general charac-
ter of this development is shown by
the fact that only three states, Ar
kansas, Kentucky and West Virginia,
are not represented in this total. Ala
bama leads the list with tN enty-two,
North Carolina sixteen, Georgia thir-
teen, South Carolina eight, Virginia
five, Mississippi four, Tennessee and
Texas three each and Florida and
Louisiana one each.
This quarter shows SO flour and girls t
mills established against 20 in same
quarter of 1892. The increasing de-
mand for cotton seed oil and it's pro-
ducts, together with its advance in
price which has recently taken place,
accounts for the large number OF oil
mills organized during the quarter.
A total of 40 is shown against 10 in
1892 and in the same quarter Of 1891,
over half of the total number being
located in Texas and the remainder
throughout other cotton growing
states.
Twelve brick and tile plants are re-
ported. % cotton congresses, q cleo
trio light plants, % fouudries and
machine shops, seven ice factories, 80
water works plants, with 80 other
miscellaneous Industries.
