are especial denominations. although
taken homeopathically he is willing to

favor. He had got as far as God bless

DUET SINGING PARROTS.

They Carry tho Air With Ease In Good
Time snd Very Distinctly.
An italian Of tho name Of Rassoni,
who lives in Savannah, has two parrots
who sing in duet all tho popular songs
of the day.
Rassoni raised the birds and began
early to teach them to speak in Italian
and English No thought was ever
given to their musical education until
they began later to develop some ability
to sing. Then Rassoni, being musician
of local note began to teach them short
and simple songs They were apt and
learned rapidly. In addition they caught
the popular airs that were sung and
whistled by street ganlins. who never
passed the house without stopping and
singing to the parrots.
1t was lot long before tho two birds
could carry an air with perfect ease, in
time and with distinctncss. Finally
both began to sing together, and now
they sing In duet with the flnesse of
artists. The birds are male and female
Henry and Polly. Henry has a voice
between mezzo sopiXno and alto,
while Polly's is we'll modulated So
prano Of pretty high range. Both are
stronger than one would imagine and
possess volume and sweetness With all
their accomplishments, however, Henry
and Polly are like all parrots-they
will never sing or talk when you are
most anxious to hear them; you must
ri nd
But for this perversion Of their nature
Rassoni would have already made for
tune with them.
The writer sat in the lobby Of the
Pulaski House in Savannah and heard
the parrots sing the famous piece, "Say
Au Revoir, but Not Goodby." Others
heard All endeavored to locate tho
music. Finally one asked the hotel clerk
who were the singers He replied they
were parrots and pointed toward the
closed glass door of Uhle's cigar store
adjoining the lobby. All gathered about
the door in wonderment, but the birds
stopped singing. We left the door and
they resumed the same piece and sang
it through beautifully and in perfect
time and accord. Polly took the high
notes with remarkable ease. Then they
sang "Suwanee River" and popular
ditties of the day. No one was in the
store at the time, and Henry and Polly
gave concert that was as remarkable
as it was unique and enjoyable.
Between the songs they would talk
in Italian or English.
The parrots sometimes hold a CONVEX
sation with Rassoni, but never with
strangers. Chicago Times-Herald.

STRANGE SEA MONSTERS.
The Sting Ray and the Sea Lizard Ar
Queer Customers.

The Sting Ray and the Sea Lizard Are
Queer Customers.
Tho sting ray, member of the skate
family, is a dangerous inhabitant OF
Florida waters The largest specimens
Of the kind, weighing from 400 to 500
pounds, live at great depths and are
seldom found inshore, but rays from 80
to 40 pounds are often encountered near
the land, and natives consider them to
be fully rs dangerous as the octopus or
the much dreaded blue shark.
The fish is large, broad, fiat bellied
creature, with eyes Of golden tint, a
sharp, spearlike appendage at the end
Of the back and long, slender tail that
reminds one much Of a blaoksnake whip.
This whip tail serves as n lariat with
which an enemy may first be lassoed,
and then the barbed spine finishes the
work by decorating the victim in a
frightful manner. The sting ray is o
villainous creature from any point Of
view and has no friends in this or any
other latitude.
In the Atlantic ocean between the
shores of the Bahama islands and the
Florida coast there lives strange crea-
ture known as the glaucus, or sea lizard.
1t is seldom if ever found near the
land. but seems to prefer deep water and
hot sea, especially where strong cur
rent exists 1t is well known that this
portion Of the gulf stream crowded In
between the Bahamas and Florida Is
very rapid, and therefore the conditions
so favorable to the sea lizard are here to
be found to greater degree than else
where in the known world.
As a substitute for fore legs 1t has two
broom shaped fans, and from about the
middle of the body, including the tail,
there are several more fins that spread
out like fan. st. Louis Post Dispatch.
