Pat And the Parrot.

An amusing scene occurred in q
quiet uptown street last night. A
young lrishman who is counting a
rosy.cheeked servant in one of the
houses in the thoroughfare called
about his usual time in the evening.
Just as he opened the iron gate
leading into the basement yard he
heard voice say, "Hullo, Pat p
"Hullo, YOURSELF" replied Pat.
"Hullo, Pat" said the strange
voice again.
Pat gazed all around him, but
could see nobody, and once again
he heard the voice say, ".Hullo, Pat. !"
us that all you can say, 'Hullo,
PATTI Where the divil are YOU,
anyhow" answered Pat.
pat, y you're fool" said the voice.
"Begorra, you're a liar, whoever
ye be-" shouted Pat, as be looked
blindly around for his insulter.
"Pat, you're fool, "again uttered
the voice.
I'm no fool, whoever ye are"
catfed out Pat. wild with anger, IAN
if yez will show yerself, I'll prove
it to yez."
"Pat, you're a fool" came the
reply, accompanied by hoarse
chuckle. .
Pat was furious and thoughts of
his rival, Mccarthy, Immediately
came in his mind.
Pat, you're a fooll Pat, you're
q fool no, ho, no /! ha, ha |" shout.
ed Pats tormentor.
By this time Pats coat and
waistcoat lay on the ground and he
had his sleeves rolled up to his
elbows and was tearing around like
a hen on a hot griddle. There's no
telling what.would have happened
asst was nearly the time for the
policeman on the beat to pass that
way, when the basement door
opened and Pats sweetheart came
out. On seeing Pat she uttered a
little scream and exclaimed, Are
you crazy, Pat? An what has
come into you the night? Put
your clothes on, man."
Pat, you're fool Ho. bo! ha
haI' said the mysterious voice out
Of the darkness.
"Do yez hear the BLACKBOARD?
Oh. can lay me hands on him p
foamed Pat "a he continued his war
dance. -
Yah, you mustn't mind that, Pat"
eaid bis sweetheart. "Why, it's
only one of the young mems par
rots which they brought home With
them from over the sea. It's an
'!l-mannered bird, and do swear
dreadfully. Mistress wont have
Il IN the house, so the boys hang up
the cage out of the window of their
room upstairs"
Pat became slowly appeaeed, and
as ne put on his coat be said, II

CHEMISTRY AND THE coLoRs


II the dry goods princes have done
nothing more. they would be entitled to
a vote of thanks from the entire COM
munity for he manner in which and the
success with which they have applied
chemistry to the creation Of beautiful
colors. says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. The fabrication of these dyes and
tlnts has become a special industry, which
requires total capital Of millions of dol
lars, thousands Of workmen OF the high
est skill and scores of the best chemists
which can be produced by the university
laboratories Of Europe and America.
We take these things as a matter OF
course. and seldom think OF the profound
wisdom. the experimentation and the sci
critic skill which underlie some color
or set of colors we admire Most of this
wonderful progress has been made in re-
cent times, in fact since the war. Before
that period the number of dye substances
in the market were comparatively limited.
and the variety was comparatively small.
The first great step came with the in
vention of aniline. This was no sooner
discovered than its marvellous capacities
for coloring were also disclosed. Within
three years over 100 aniline colors were
produced, which for brilliancy and in
tensity surpassed anything known up to
that time and which also possessed the
extraordinary power of being double-coi-
ored or sbi-chromatic. Thus one aniline
substance was gold bronze when looked
at obliquely.
In tracing this property, the great
chemists abroad. especially those in Ger
many. succeeded in making over 200 SUBJ
stances which possessed this singular
power. Since that time discoveries have
been SO fast as to really tumble one over
the other. A late list of colors which has
been kept by an enterprising buyer in one
OF the large New York emporiums gives
1000 shades of more or less beauty which
have been put upon the market and nam
ed with distinctive name in the past Is
years.
On the other hand. the technical publ
cations show that over 5000 new and dis
tinct colors. simple or compound. have
been discovered or invented in that per-
lod. At one time 1t was said to be impos-
sible to initiate the marvellous splendor
OF the breast of the humming bird, the
brilliancy of the peacock's feather, or the
glories of the cultivated pansy. The
chemist, from his retort and crucible can
supply colors alongside of which the hum
| ming birds plumage seems grey and duh.
Metallic greens and blues which outshine
| the peacock splendor, and indigoes which
| excel the richest pansy the conservatory
ever turned out

THE FRENCH MATRIMONIAL SHOPS
Some Advantageous Alliances Are
Effected with Their Assistance.

A very profitable way of swindling IL
that of the matrimonial agencies which
are now worked in France IN a manner
entirely unknown to M. de Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by inter-
mediary, says the London Spectator.
There are. of course, offices where prelim-
mary fees are asked and where wife
seekers and ladies yearning for lords are
quietly swindled after having been told
to go to the opera, the salon or the fash
lonable church of st. Clotilde. The
strange part of the matrimonial agency
scheme is that you never know, when In
society. whether some banker, priest or
Old lady of fierce virtue and mystical ten
cies may not be husband or wife broker.
There are young ladies not toe thin
skinned, head walters in certain restaur-
ants. livery stable keepers. clustered
nuns, notaries and lady doctors Of the OBJ
stetric school. These are only a portion
of the army of workers in the interests Of
Cupid. There are at present in Paris two
wealthy American girls who have mar
RED titles, upon the wedding day of each
of whom a very handsome commission
was paid to one OF these Intermediates,
OF course without the knowledge OF the
wife.
