TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
Catarrh, pneumonia, bronchitis, diph-
iberia and indigestion are among the
most frequent ailments, and birds, eS-
pecially parrots, are almost always al
fected by any epidemic. During Pc
Rod of influenza, for instance, the doc
tor handled at one time 1856 parrots on
his hands for treatment.
Mr.. Cross is eminently modern, w,hicE
perhaps means scientific, in his treat
ment, and has exploded many an old
tradition. Just as there was once q pa
theological law to the effect that water
must not be given fever patient, so
in birddom there is still a statute that
y
you wish him to talk and many a bird
fancier, even today, tells hopeful pur-
chaser not to allow poor polly any
water for three months. This, Mr..
Cross says, is as absurd as it is cruel.
Equally ridiculous is the notion that
salt will kill a bird Quite to the con-
trary, Mr.. Cross treatment for indf-
gestiOn is to place cup of warm salt
water in the cage where the little crea-
ture can freely help himself. The

Mr.. Cross has recently improved upon
his original clever method of setting
broken bones. Instead of a quill he
now uses gelatine tubes, such as are
manufactured for capsules. Around
the broken limb he first binds bit of
antiseptic cotton, and over this he slips
a sufficient length of the gelatine tube
When the limb is set, he has only to
place it in warm water for a while,
and the snug little cylinder dissolves.
Although with good care. parrots may
live to be 100 years old, they lead all
birddom in the number and variety of
their diseases. The English nightingale
is the most delicate of all the little
songsters, and rarely lives more than
six months or year in captivity.

Washington, D. c., Dec. lin the
senate Mr.. Vest again called attention
70 private pension bills, and entered a
protest against their passage without
due consideration, as he said the SEN
ate was falling into the habit of do
ing lie called attention to the fact
that, Notwithstanding Illinois had fur
nished $1,000 more soldiers than In
diana, the pension roll for Indiana eX-
ceeded that Of Illinois by 81, 500 600. He
accounted Tor this fact on the ground
that Indiana is a pivotal state poliu-
cally, saying that it was notorious that
the commissioner OF pensions, who was
an eX-UniOn soldier had granted pen
sionS TO almost every applicant in po-
litical districts which were close. He
did not contend that the Republican
party was alone to blame, but knew
that men OF all parties were inclined
&c use the machinery of the pension
office TO further their political inter
ests. He had endorsed Mr.. Clevelands
veto of pension bills, and while he did
not want TO revive the old questions
he would express the opinion that the
government, in this matter, had fallen
into q most unjust and iniquitous eX-
penditure by its in-advised legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Gallinger suggested that Mr..
Vest, instead of scolding the senate on
private bills, should propose amend
ments to the pension laws which would
correct the abuses he complained Of
Continuing, Mr.. Gallinger said the COM
mittee had been considering the advis-
ability of publishing the list of pension
ers. Yet there were objections to the
plan, and he feared that if undertaken
its only effect would be TO take two or
three million dollars out of the treas
ury to no good purpose.

Ogden, Dec 1.-THE services over

Schramm occurred this afternoon. The
obsequies were simple and impressive.
Brother Masons of the deceased to the
number of about $50 formed a guard
of honor and made an impressive ap-
pearance as they marched from the
church to the cemetery in double ranks.
A special train from the south brought
large number of Masonic and other
friends of the deceased. All the morn
ing long streams of friends passed
through the residence where lay the
remains and viewed for the last time
the beloved countenance.
There were numerous floral emblems,
many indicative of Mr.. Schramm's
prominence in Masonry, including bro
ken columns, harps, ladders, stars, cres-
cents, wreaths, sheaves of wheat and
numerous other designs.

Imperial America Welcomed.

Berlin, Dec 14.-In the reichstag to-

of the great and vigorous American
nation among the colonizing powers.
He said he hoped that, in accordance
with Bismarck's principle, commercial
questions would be kept separate from

Germany could be on very good terms
with the United States.

Possible Row With England Over

London, Dec. 15.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times says: One can
not but notice the carefully-veiled ten
dency to search for the germs of pos
sible divergence between the foreign
policy of the United States and that
of Great Britain. The commercial pol
icy of the two countries is expected to
involve future conflicts, not only in
Cuba and the Philippines, but in Cen
trail and South America. If any at
tempt is made to renew the Blaine pol
icy of keeping these markets for the
United States, this result would be in
evitable, and it is contended here that
as Germany is also interested in keep
ing the markets of Central and South
America open, this necessity must form
another common ground for co-opera-
ton between Great Britain and Ger
many in commercial affairs.

Chicago, Dec 12-The surgeon in
charge of this remarkable hospital is
Mr.. C. A. Cross-or DR.. c. A. Cross, it
should be-and he is a clear case of in
herited tendencies, being closely related
to the celebrated William Cross of old
Hull street, Liverpool, England, who, in
his day, enjoyed the reputation of be
ing the greatest bird fancier in the
world Indeed, a passion fer birds runs
through the whole family, though the
Chicago doctor has, in particular, de
veloped the hereditary instinct. Fortu-
nately, his wife is an equal enthusiast,
and Mr. Cross attributes much of his
success to her delicate care. The two
constitute the entire medical and nurs-
ing staff of the hospital.
Finding by personal observation that
the diseases of birds were for the most
part exactly the same as those that at
flict humanity, DR.. Cross studied medl-
cine sufficiently to become familiar
with the nature and application of the
more common drugs. Since the estaD-
lishment of his own unique institution,
the good doctors fame has spread
abroad, until now invalid birds are
sent to him from all over the country,
