An Insulting Parrot.

Bayard Taylor relates the following
about parrot once owned by lady in
Chicago, says our Animals Friends.
When the great fire was raging, an
owner saw that she could rescue moth
ing except what she instantly took In
her hands. There were two objects
equally dear, the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible and was Fastening
away, when the parrot cried out in n
loud and solemn voice Good Lord, de
liver u.s. No human being could have
been deaf to such an appeal. The pre-
cious Bible was sacrificed and the bird
saved. He was otherwise clever bird

She nSeesr hinrn."

An odd ease of hysteria is reported
from Abilene. \ lady of the town has
been entertaining her niece, a young
woman from another town, and ever
since the arrival of the girl the house
has been made the target of peppers
and burglars. In the evening before
the family had gone to bed there would
be a crash of glass. and then the young
woman would come flying in terror to
her aunt with the story that she had
seen the face of II man at the window,
and when he found he was observed
he broke the window and ran. After
windows haze been broken all over the
house officers were set TO watch for
several nights. At last one officer
brighter than the rest, discovered that
all the glass broken from a window
fell outward, showing that it must
have been struck from the inside. \
watch was then placed over the girl,
and she was soon caught in the act Of
breaking Il window, after which she
ran screaming to her aunt. with the
same old story about a man. Her
strange performance is accounted for
on the theory of "A hysterical condition
in which She "sees things and then
does things sly.-Philadel-
