TWO STORIES.
a Parrot at n Club and How 1t Rcmem-
bcre0.

"A Parrot ut a Club and How 1t Rcmem-
bcred.
In a tirstclass club room uptown in
New York on Il stormy afternoon sat
two members of the club playing cards
The table they were playing on was
beside a window looking into the
yard. Overhead at the window where
the men were playing was a favoritc
parrot. One of the club mem bers was
very unfortunate at his game, and his
partner chatfed him by saying, "Lucll
is against you to day which so ag-
gravated the looser that the glass of
water which was in front of him Ito
put in his whiskey) he took up and
fired through the cage, wetting the
parrot all over (Which quoted him)
saying. at the same time, There, d-n
you take that. You are talking too
much.
The parrot then kept loo king out of
the window at the heavy rain-storm
and cspied chicken coming across
the yard. and when under the shelter
OF the window shook her wings The
parrot, looking down, said to the
chicken: "lIa! ha. d-n you, you have
been talking too much.
A dealer in pet birds was visited by
a customer who suffered and wanted
to buy parrot which took his fancy.
The salesman was an Irishman who
had just been employed by the dealer.
The customer said: -du-does
that-that parrot ta-ta-tal!1 good?"
"Wcll, replied the Irish salesman,
if he did not talk better than you I
would wiring his neck Off"

The Sad Fate of Famuy's Devoted
Old Friend.

The Sad Fate of Famly's Devoted
Old Friend.
The neighbors around a certain cor
uer of a street in Lewiston, Maine,
were alarmed one night by low means
issuing from closely curtained
carriage that stood on the corner. A
driver sat upon the seat. One of the
neighbors came out and approached
the team to ask what was the matter.
Before he reached the corner the
driver caught sight of him, and,
whipping up the horses, rapidly drove
off. The folks were doubly alarmed,
and after good deal of exciting talk
asked policeman to call at the house
on the corner and ascertain who was
hurt or If any mystery was in the
means.
He talked with an excited woman
who came to the door and also with a
man who wiped his eyes with hand
kerchief, while the neighbors stood
across the street in suspicious silence.
The officer came over the street and
told them that the old family dog, the
hero of dozens and dozens of fights
and of 20 years, had been carried off to
die by bullet The dog evidently
understood his fate, for he began to
moan and moan as soon as they took
him from the house.

THE TABLE FORK,

Generally Supposed to BE Comparative
ly Modern Invention.
1t is difficult for us to realize what
a comparatively modern invention the
table fork is, or how our ancestors
managed to get along without it.
Queen Elizabeth never heard of such
an implement, and it was many years
after her death that the first table or
'dinner." fork was brought to Eng
land. From a passage in that curious
work, Coryate's 'Crudities, it has
been imagined that it's author was
the first to bring the table fork to the
British Isles. In the lines cited he
says: "|Vhile in Italy I observed that
the Italian always used little forks
made of iron, steel or silver. = = X I
thought it good to initiate this forked
cutting of meat, and have since my
return been called 'furcifer' only for
using my fork at feeding" Some
believe that the fork was in use all
over Europe as early as the year 500
A. D., but if they were their use and
the fork itself were lost sight of up to
about the beginning of the Seven
teenth Century, when it was either
discovered or rediscovered and popu-
larized. Walton. Weems and other
Oatiquarians hold to the earlier date
given above because stone vessel con-
taining coins of the Middle Ages and
Dome iron forks was found at Sewing
ton, England, in the year 1884.

orders and recommendation of this

stances be of interest to your readers
1 take pleasure in notifying those in

In the matter of the recommends
ton Of the Board for platform at
Langdon, the petition has been grant
ed, and the platform will be built.
Since the Boards recommendation
was made several parties have petit
TONED against an ordinary platform,
insisting that All extended embankment
rather than shorter platform would
be more acceptable to the patrons of
the station. These facts have since
been submitted to the general mana
ger for his consideration.
In the matter Of a platform and side
track at Easily, the road declines to
put in any additional sidetrack any
where this year, owing to the financial

stringency. 1t is beyond the power of
this Board to compel the building of
this side-track, as the law specifies
that roads shall not be obliged to put
in side tracks between stations less than
fifteen miles appart.
In the matter of a platform at Mil
ton, in which the Board condemned
the platform already there as being
practically useless, the company ac-
cedes to the demand Of the Board for a
different platform.
In the matter of Il petition for aplat-
form at Edinburgh, the recommended
ton Of the Board that such a platform
be built is acceded to, and the platform
has been ordered built.
In the cases where favorable replys
have been received. the news will
doubtless be rs pleasing to those in
terested as it is to the Board. which
has spent two months in the effort to
get an answer from the company to
the recommendations made.

Martin McInecney, engineer in charge
of the locomotive used IL the trans
portation of supplies and material and
in hauling away the dirtat the Rox-
borough Reservoir, Philadelphia. met
with fatal accident lately while in
the performance of his duty. The
locomotive machinery was not working
satisfactorily and he stepped from his
cab to the foot-plate on tf tcnasvr to
make an examination. The locomotive
was going at a lively rate, and in
rounding 4 curve McInerney lost his
balance and was thrown on the track
between the cab and the tender.
Four trucks attached to the locomotive
passed over his body, and when picked
up he was a bruised and blackened
mass.
His face was cut III several places,
his arm was broken, one of his legs
was cut off and his right hip was frac-
tured. He was taken to St. rimothy's
Hospital, where he died.
Early III the morning Mclnerney in
formed one OF his fellow-workmen
that he did not expect to be another
day on earth. When asked for an OK
PLANTATION OF his strange expression he
answered that he had a premonition
that before the sun would set for the
day his life would have ended. 1t
came 10 him, he said, in dream, the
character of which he did not state,
and after he had told the story to his
companion 4 melancholy look spread
over his countenance. During the
period which followed after he made
this statement until he met the acct
dent he exercised the greatest care in
attending to his duties and SO remark
] ed to his assistant.
