A PsALM-sINGING PARROT.
1t Learned Hymns and Prayers and
Died Rt an EnrlY Age.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Howard Jordan, who resides in Oakland.
was up to few, days ago, the owner of
a little green parrot of which he was very
proud. But Polly Is dead now and will be
greatly missed, most of all by Sunday
school scholars and people who attend the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, on nth
street. The rear of the church and Sunday
school room joins Mr.. Jordan's rear yard,
where there is a grass plot. Every Sunday
morning, indeed every morning, Polly was
perched out on the grass to catch the sun
day the best day in the week. because on
that day the children sang and recited their
lessons, and Polly liked noise.
After awhile Polly left on the croakings
and the fragmentary bits of swear words
it had picked up In early life on a coasting
schooner. The birds owner liked this and
encouraged 1t. The children talked to 1t,
and finally the parrot began to hum the
church hymns. Then the words came, and
1t Joined Justify in with the children when
they sang. After little Polly learned the
Lords Prayer. 1t forgot its weekday talk
and practiced at all times on hymns and
prayers and biblical quotations. The bird
became a regular Sunday school bird, and
was all but entered on the class rolls.
Yesterday, however, Polly did not sing or
pray, and inquiry was made and 1t was
learned that the bird had died on Monday
last. 1t took sick on Sunday after the serv-
Ice and continued to grow worse until death
came. Polly was but young thing for q
parrot, and scoffer in the block says that
early piety was too much for It.

She Forgot Herself Literally.

From the Buffalo Express.
A curious case of the loss Of memory Ii
reported from England. and is attracting the
attention of scientists generally. woman,
who was sitting on the promenade at Brigh-
ton, found herself unable to tell her name.
address or anything connected with her life
She said that she had felt something break
ir side of her head The authorities. not be-
ing able to find out anything about her. had
her sent to the work house. There was
rot a single mark on her clothing, letters
or anything else that would assist In the
discovery of her identity. She conversed as
an educated woman on things around her.
and wrote in a similar manner to the doc
tors who examined her. but her mind was
an absolute blank, as far as the past was
concerned. The woman was described wide
ly, and her case was discussed at length by
the newspapers.
In talking she often said her name was
Trilby, and then she would say that II
could not be that. The letters written by
her were signed MRS. Anybody" The wide
discussion of her case revealed her where

COLORING MEERsCHAUMs.
Two Stories of How Smokers Ac.
cOmplish the Task.
From he New York Trihune

i v
oOmplish the Task.
From the New York Tribune.
"Do know any mechanical way Of color
ing a meerschaum?" said a pipe expert. 'Oh.
yes; have known a man to fix up small
rubber bellows that was kept going by a
clockwork attachment, and so did his smok-
ing for him: but much more common meth
cd is to hire some constant smoker to use
your pipe until it gets the tint you want.
British officers sometimes distribute their
meerschaums among their men for this pur-
pose, and on a long voyage passengers give
their pipes in charge of seasoned old salts.
1.-THE Duke of Castelluccia used to be one
of my customers. One Saturday he came in
and looked at a fine meerschaum cigar
holder.
"'That's handsome he said. But want
1t colored: can you have 1t done for me on
MondayY
But, your grace said, 'coloring takes
time. I couldn't have 1t done by Monday.
A few weeks
'Bahr he said. I will bring it to you on
Monday as black as your coat.
"And he did. This Is how he did It He
went out and bought a hundred long five
cent cigars, went home and smoked them all
day Sundany one after the other, until they
were gone. Sure enough the holder had q
beautiful color, but he had nearly spoiled his
teeth, and he admitted that he wouldn't do
It again. One hundred hvs-oent cigars in one
day was too much even for an italian"

ANIMALS AND INSECTS.
Sensible Information About ThOi
That Arc q Benefit to the Farmer.

Sensible Information About Those
That Arc a Benefit to the Farmer.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
In the country districts in France boards
are put up telling people what animals and
insects should not be killed, and the rea-
son. and also which ones should be ex-
terminated in order to afford protection to
the farmer. First on the board is this:
This board is placed under the protec-
the public"
And. of course, after that no boy or man
would mar or remove the board. Then fol-
low these Instructions:
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails and
wire worms-animals injurious to agricul-
ture. Don't kill hedgehog.
TOAD helps agriculture, destroys twenty
to thirty insects hourly. Don't kill toads.
Mole destroys wire worms, larvae and
insects injurious to the farmer. No trace
Of vegetables is ever found in his stomach
does more good than harm. Don't kill
moles.
"Cockchafer and its larvae-deadly en-
emy to farmers; lays seventy to one hun
dred eggs. Kill the cockchafer.
"Birds-Each department Of France loses
yearly many millions of francs by the in
jury done by insects. Birds are the only
enemy capable of battling with them vigor-
ously: they are great helps to farmers.
Children, don't take birds nests''
And so on the Instructions read. Among
the animals which need killing on a farm
crease in spite of the constant warfare of
cats and dogs Is because the boys on the
farm kill the animals that would destroy
the pests IL they had a chance.

Of certain area Of the American conti-

Characters MetuWith in the Gaming
r. Rooms of the Capital City.
From the Mexican Herald. H
Enter Mexican gambling saloon when
things are a little slack, and you will see
the habitues of the monte table discussing
the topics Of the day. while they roll their
cigarettes and loll back in their chairs as
If they had met for no other purpose. Seat
ed on chair a little removed from the ta-
BILE is a man who has probably inhabited
the gambling saloon for days past. He is
now overcome with sleep, and as he sits
with his legs crossed and his head rocking
from side to side, one wonders how he can
keep his seat, or how it is that his greasy
tall hat does not topple off.
Then you will see an unshaven, unkempt
fellow, nursing his knee and moodily gaZ-
ing at the roulette table for hours, while
the little ball spins round and the croupfer
rakeS in the coin and hands out the win
nings with machine-like deftness and ac-
curacy. No one ever suspects the croupier.
Nine out of ten of those who bet and win
have no idea of what is coming to them.
But they take what the croupier gives them
as matter of course. He has no induce
ment to cheat, for the bank is not his. and
anyway the bank must win in the long
run, come what may.
Chinaman may saunter in to give some
animation to the table. He asks for no
chips. but wagers hard cold silver. Where
the Mexican lays one dollar he will lay five.
and oftener than not he wins. With the
absence of undignified hurry and eagerness
peculiar to the oriental, he does not take
in his winnings at once, but produces a
cigarette, rolls and lights it, and then lays
hold of his dollars. You will be sure to see
at any table mild lunatic with paper and
pencil before him, noting each point, and
slowly laying the foundations of new
and infallible system" AS if there were
any way of obviating law of nature.
Now and then a young gambler will en-
ter bringing with him into the heavy
laden atmosphere a gust of fresh air from
the street. He will bet and have a run of
luck that will draw to him the attention of
all the lack-luster eyes that surround the
| table. One or more will gradually sidle up
| to him, and with parched. trembling lips
| ask him where he is going to place his
money. and ask leave to follow his lead.
Where but round the gambling table dc
you see 80 many and such striking ex-
amples of statuesque immobility? You count
not by minutes, but by hours, the time
| that sray-haired votary of chance has sat
with his hands folded on the table and his
| eyes fixed on vacancy. And how much Ion
ger will he stay in that posture? Perhaps
| until the lamps are turned Off In the gray
morning, or until he summons up energy
enough to stagger off to the pawnshop to
raise a pittance And that man who has
| sat SO long with his head buried in his
| hands, what is he thinking of? Perhaps OF
| the home as it was once, and as 1t might
| have been still. !

there to give heightened piquancy to the

THE TIPPING NUISANCE.
Plan I'm Vogue I'm European Places
Not PatrOnized by Foreigners.

Not PatrOnixed by Foreigners.
New York LETTER In Boston Herald.
The tipping system has rendered exist
ence in Paris and London more of a pain
than a pleasure, but in those cities the ex-
pectation of those who are in the habit of
receiving gratuities are at least within
moderation. Even the harpies in the shape
of the old women who insist on taking
charge of mans overcoat or stick-"Vou-
leZ-vous vous debarrasser, monsieur" is
their monotonous chant-are got rid OF
with few sous; but New York is place
of greater expectations, where the lowest
gratuity is 10 cents, and quarter of dol
lar the usual consideration expected for
anything like the delicate attentions crown
ed by a finger bowl. The cabman who sits
impassive on the box of the coupe and has
no idea of getting down TO attend to the
luggage, the porter who brings the bag
gage or parcels, the waiter who serves the
lightest rejection or even drinks, the bar
ber who shaves one, the boy who brushes
coat and hat-each and all are inspired by
expectations fostered- by their employers,
who rely upon the public to help them pay
wages.
The barber shop nuisance is particularly
exasperating. and ought to be abolished
through the adoption of some such plan as
obtains in certain old-established shops on
the boulevard such as Francois. The Gus
toner produces a franc. or "a centimes.
half franc 40 cents). The cashier keeps 5
cents (25 centimes) for himself. and places
the equal amount of change on the desk,
where it is appropriated by the l,arber.
Thus the shop gets cents and the barber
5 cents-share and share alike. The same
sort of organized system of tipping is
adopted at certain hotels in Paris, partic-
ularly those patronized rather by provin-
cials than by foreigners. When the bill is
presented no attendance is charged in the
account, but a certain percentage is added

SOME REMARKABLE FIGURES.
They Used to Live to nn Advanced
Age In Georgia.

L
Age In Georgia.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Two remarkable cases of longevity were
recalled recently by conversation between
several gentlemen in Athens, Ga. They
were discussing the death Of the Rev. George
Mccall, the veteran Baptist preacher, when
1t was authentically stated that Mr.. McCaifs
sreat-grandfather lived to the ripe old age
of 127 years. He was a bachelor at 100 and
took notion to get married. He carried out
his idea and was married. Three sons were
born to him, and he lived to see the Oldest
son old enough to vote.
This was considered remarkable, but
gentleman in the crowd whose character
and standing, religiously and socially. are
above reproach, told an authentic account
of the life of his great-uncle, who was one
Of Georgia's pioneer citizens. This old gen.
tleman lived to be 100 years old. He lived
in a log cabin, in the northern end OF which
was cut a square hole. The old man turned
the head of his bed to that hole and slept
that way in the warmest and coldsst
weather.
His wife died when he was about ninety
years old, and for many years he lived as
widower At the age of 115 he cut an en-
tirely new set of teeth, and at the age of 123
one morning he saddled his own horse sprang
into the saddle and rode thirty miles TO ad-
ress a widow and to ask her to be his wife.
He evidently was rejected, for he rode back
that day and lived seven years longer.

What the Bird Preferred.
rom the Philadelphia Press.

from thc FhlIadeph1n PrcsS.
Experiments have shown that birds avoid
the bright-colored caterpillars, as rule.
And this seems almost to have become a
second nature, for a jackdaw, which had
been raised in captivity and had had no ex-
perience in judging the edible qualities of
caterpillars, was observed to regard the
brilliant caterpillar of the figure-of-eight-
moth with suspicion and aversion, although
it eagerly devonred dull, plain caterpillars
placed within its reach. When 1t was driven
by hunger to attack the other it finally re-
fused to eat it, giving plain evidence that
there was something distasteful about the
preY.
