STUCK TO THE PARROT.
An Old Lady Goes Back Into a Burn-
ing Building to Save Her Bird.

An Old Lady Goes Back Into a Burn-
ing Building to Save Her Bird.
The affection of men and women for
animals has led to many strange adj
ventures-and to none more thrilling,
perhaps, than nj which occurred lately
in New York City. In a five-story
apartment house the first floor and
basement were occupied by an
apothecary. In this basement a sudden
and fierce fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of some chemical preparations,
and the flames spread so rapidly that
the occupants of the upper tenements
were unable to reach the street. How
ever, they escaped to the roof, whence
they could pass to the roofs of the
adjoining buildings.
Among the people who escaped to the
roof was an elderly lady, Mrs. Leary
by name. She suddenly flew into q
state Of distress upon remembering
that she had left her parrot, a tenderly-
cherished pet, in the room below. AT
the risk of her life she went down to
get it.
She secured the bird, but when she
attempted to regain the roof she found
her way completely barred by the fire.
She could pass neither up nor down.
All she could do was to go to a window
and mingle her screams with those of
the parrot, which she held in her arms.
An attempt was made to reach her
with a ladder, but this proved impossi-
BILE. She was about to jump out Of the
window, when the people below shout,
ed that a fireman was coming down to
her from above.
This was the case. Several firemer
were on the roof. One of them, Dennis
Ryer by name, tied a strong rope
around his body and his comrades low,
cred him to the window at which stood
Mrs. Leary and her parrot. 1t was
at the risk of his life, for the flames

An English woman Of rank-a duch-
ess-was very apt to forget to pay
her bills. A milliner, whose large bill
had been repeatedly ignored by the
duchess at last determined to send
her little girl, a pretty child of ten
years, to beg for them oney which was
so much needed. "Be sure to say
your grace to the Duchess" said the
anxious mother, and the child gravely
promised to remember. When, after
long waiting, she was ushered into the
duchess presence the little girl drop
ped a low courtesy, and then folding
her hands and closing her eyes she
said softly: For what l am about to
receive may the Lord make me truly
thankful" AS she opened her eyes
and turned her wistful gaze on the
duchess that light hearted person
flushed very red, and, without delay,
made out a check for the amount due
to the milliner.

Wellington and the Toad,

Napoleon was worshiped and feared,
but men loved and adored the Iron
Duke. OF the former, how few are
the kindly human traits recorded!
While of the other to this day, fresh
proofs keep coming to light of simple
sweetness dwelling long in the minds
Of men. The following anecdote con
corning a letter lately eXrrumed may
serve as one instance out OF a thousand
illustrating the sympathetic nature of
the great commander. The letter, so
far as my memory serves was in some
such terms as these:
"Field Marshal the Duke of Yelling
ton begS to inform William Harris
that his toad is alive and WE'LL
1t seems that the Duke, in the course
of a country stroll, had come upon a
little boy weeping bitterly wei q toad.
A strange trio they must have been

flushed, sobbing boy, and between
them, the wrinkled reptile squatting.
with fearless eyes and throbbing sides.
The boy wept because he was going to
school next day; he had come daily to
feed the toad: the little heart was
racked with grief, because he feared
his darling would be neglected when
he was gone and might starve. The
Dukes heart was as soft as the boys.
for he undertook to see that the toad
was looked after, and the letter above
quoted is one of the subsequent bulle-
