spoke of his food as dinner" whenever
| gave it to him, and having heard it so
called, he cannot be induced to change
the phrase to breakfast" or Supper"
Sometimes before covering him at
night I say: Kiss your mother good
night-here," presenting my lips and
smacking them; at which he will sidle
to the bars of his cage and very gently
touch my lips with his open bill.
Only once he, like the monkey that
married the baboon's sister, kissed so
hard that he raised blister" l scolded
him severely for his rudeness, and he
seemed to understand. If do not kiss
him goodnight he is sure to say: kiss
your mother good-night-here," smack
ing his bill. He never says: kiss me
goodnight"
Tim has never known the common
place name of Polly" and he has
never been asked by me if he wanted
a cracker. 1 have always been alert
to check any visitor who was about to
ask the old question: docs Polly want
crscker?" With the same caution 1
have checked the "Howdy do, Polly?"
by requesting the visitor to say:
"Howdy do, Tim?"
Tim seemed to have noted my wish
to exclude Polly" from his list of
words. One day a lady called, and, on
discovering the bird, exclaimed: "Why,
howdy do, Polly?" He Immediately
corrected her by replying: Say,
howdy do, Tim?"

fact that parrot knows how to apply
intelligently the phrases that he ac-
quires in mimicry. In the few further
examples that 1 shall give of Tins
talking, let il be understood that he re-
peats only what he has heard. but the
reader will notice his tact in applying
his remarks, as if he knew their mean
ing.
Frequently, when my husband is leav-
ing for the city, Tim calls after him:
Good-by, John!" 1t need hardly be ex-
planned how the bird learned that
| phrase.
In some ways he knows when we are
eating at table, perhaps from having
occasionally been in the dining-room
at meal time, and from noting the table
noises made by knife and fork, cup
and saucer, etc. He often calls out at
such time, wherever he may be: What
are you eating? Is it good?"
We have Scotch-Irish terrier named
"Jack," and huge jet black cat named
TONY" who often engage in friend
ly tussle. Sometimes, when Jack has
been too rough for Tony, l have en-.
couraged the cat by saying: whip
him, Tony! whip him!" AS the cat and
dog are almost hourly at their play Of
racing and wrestling, it is a common
thing to hear Tim, who may either see
or only hear them, shouting: "WhiI
him, Tony! whip him! whip him!"

it suddenly darts round the tree and
