True TaIe Of a Parrot.

A woman who is noted for her fond
ness for pets has parrot, that is her
special pride and Joy. Polly is large.
with bright green feathers and shiny
yellow head, and is an unusually hand
some specimen of the Mexican family.
Polly Is model bird in 80 much that she
doesn't say naughty words, but she Is so
mischievous that her good traits are
often overshadowed. It is her delight
to cut blossoms off potted plants. and
her owners were never known to have a
full crop of grapes, owing TO Polly's de
termination to cut off the tender young
branches
Another of Polly 8 favorite pastimes is
to quietly creep up to sleeping cat aud
then give 1t q sharp pinch. Then when
poor pussy runs off with popping eyes
and bristling tall Polly's eyes look red and
fiery. and she gives her feathers a shake
and crows triumphantly.
Polly is very fond Of sugar, aud the
other day she flew from the back of a
chair onto the table, and taking the lid
of the sugar bowl in her bill,
she gently put 1t on the table, and
proceeded TO help herself to the sugar.
An old trick OF PollY's is TO beg to have
her head scratched. Then when one is
kind enough to do so. Polly will suddenly,
and without warning. bite the hand that
petted her Then she laughs in the
most diabolicel manner imaginable, and
remarks in tbe most lf-congratulatory
manner. Pretty poll, pretty poll. Come

A DISPATCH from Uniontown, Pa, saws
that few small coke plants are arrang-
ing to start their mines, as they can get
more for the coal than for coke. They
"offer to pay the miners more wages than
the scale they demand. The strikers are
inclined to go to work mining coal to
get even with the striking members OF
the United Mine Workers Union, which
organization they say repudiated their
promises for assistance" 1t is amazing
considering how much distress, folly and
fraud a strike entails, that men, who in
other respects seem sane and reasonable
enough, will inAict them all on themselves
after so many strikes have occurred to
bring nothing more tangible than starva
tion and death. It is hard, of course, for
a man to work at starvation wages In
protected industries, but strikes do not
better their condition. They should
go to the ballot box and vote against the
robber tariff.
