The talents Of parrots have, we read.
Just been turned in a new direction by
tho authorities Of French town, It has
hitherto been the habit to more or less
fritter away the intellectual force of par.
rots by merely teaching them to say
naughty or witty things or to use such
expressions as Pretty Poll' or Poor
fellow. The municipal authorities Of
tho town referred to have, perhaps the
future will prove, opened up a wider
field Of action for the parrot. The poor
box at the town hall, it seems, had for
a long time past been In a condition Of
chronic emptiness, which did not reflect
much credit on the charitable feelings
Of the inhabitants. To remind them Of
their duty toward their poorer neigh
bors a parrot was purchased, which has
been installed close to the box and
trained TO cry, "For the poor, If you
please. It appears that the result Of
the innovation has been highly satisfao-

A stury with 4 moral is told me by a
friend from Bloomington. Ind. That
pretty littlo university town numbers
among its notabilitios not only the col
lege professors, but another professor
also, whose accomplishment lies not IN
the direction Of human education. I
mean genial Henry Gentry, known
wherever there are little and big chill
dren, who like to see his performing dogs
and ponies. Professor Gentry was a very
poor 10y. which was no dishonor, but
still much against him in the race Of
life. During the last few years he has
made o fortune. / am afraid to say how
much. but it must be up in the hundred
thousands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make a living for himself
and his parents, and very often it was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale.
Every one knows how difficult It was
for business men to-kecp hCads above
water during tbehard times and what
q serious matter It twas to obtain money,
but Geutry had plenty Of it all through
and is,aaid to have helped more than
n an over tho stepping stones.
CuAaay a very prominent business
nan Of his own was caught short and
Aoeded So, coo to see him through He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for a
loan, but WIS euavely told that the bank
had it not. just as tho conversation
was going on Kerry Gentry happened
topass tho bank, and the banker remark
ed, There's only one man in town who
has that much cash, and maybe he'll
lend it to you" He pointed to Gentry.
Tho business man took tho hint, step
ped out Of the bank, caught up with
Gentry, and aftera very complimentary
talk on his success preached his request.
Gentry turned full upon him and re-
piled; sob, yes, I have So, 600; moro
too, but do you remember q barefoot Lad
who came into your store at II time
trying to buy a pair of shoes on trust
Do you remember how you kicked him
