The Achievement of Health.

Daniel Webster "presevered in liv.
ing," to use an old Roman expression.
He was born in the depth of winter,
January 1S, 1882, in the days when
Lighthouses were uncomfortable. "The
infant" says Lodge, twas q delicate
and rather sickly little body. Some
cheerful neighbors predicted, after in
spection, that it would not live long,
and the poor mother, oyerhearing
them, caught the child to her bosom
and wept over it. She little dreamed
of the iron constitution somewhere in
the small frail body, and still less of
all the glory and sorrow to which her
baby was destined.
"For many years, although the boy
disappointed the village Cassandras
by living, he continued weak and deli
cate. Manual labor, which began very
early with the children of New Hamp-
shire farmers, was out of the question
in his case, and SO Daniel was allowed
to devote much of his time to play of
the best sort, in the woods and fields,
where he learned to love nature and
natural objects, to wonder at foods,
to watch the habits of fish aud birds,
and to acquire keen taste for field
sports. His companion was an old
British sailor, who carried the child
on his back, rowed with him on the
river, and taught him the anglers
art"
At Fryeburg, where he taught. at
about the age of twenty-nine, it was
his eye people seemed to remember
best. He was still very thin in face
and figure, and he himself tells us
that he was known in the village as
"All-Eyes. Success.

TEACHING PARROTS TO TALK.
An Undertaking That Requires Good
Judgment.

The natural tendency Of some spe-
cies of parrots to learn to talk is well
illustrated at the zoo, where a col
lection of parrots was recently added
to the animals and birds on exhibi-
ton. In the confusion of sounds
the roaring of lions, the trumpeting Of
the elephant, the chatter of the mon
keys, the stentorian commands of the
animal trainers, and the blaring of
the band-may be heard the shrill
rGreech of the parrots. An intent lis
tener will discover that the birds are
initiating the sounds they hear and
some of them are repeating words
which they catch in the general jargon
of the place. Even Lecturer Rollins IL
initiated in some of his sentences de-
scribing the animals or the feats about
to be performed. Alexander Day, as
sistant superintendent of the zoo ,say2
that, like the wild animals which are
capable of being trained the parrots
will early give evidence Of their apti-
tude to learn to talk. The best way
to train parrot to talk is, he says, to
keep 1t in a room away from other
birds or animals. and with its cage
covered when the lessons are given.
This is to teach the bird to distin-
guish the sounds alone and not the
individuality of the teacher. The
gray parrots are said to be the best
takers. although the AmaZonian OIL
green parrot is a good talker and is
the one most commonly seen. These
come from South America and the
West Indies. The rosellas and ma
caws. which also come from the West
Indies, can rarely be taught to talk

THEIR QUARREL.
Why His Sweetheart Couldn't Love Him
as of Yore.

as OF fOre.
"After ALL" he said to himself, as hs
walked along the avenue, 81 may as
we'll give in. It's small matter, any
way, and not worth coming between
us, even for an hour"
They had quarreled the night be-
fore. One thing had led to another,
until he had left her, outwardly cold
and inwardly passionately angry.
They were both bit obstinate, may
be.
But he had time to think it over, and
the folly of it burst upon him in all
of its ridiculous aspect. Because he
had mildly limited that first cousin
OF hers-a rather aggressive chap, too
should not, considering their en-
gagement, take her to the matinee,
she had resented the suggestion with
some sarcasm. Not that he particu-
larly minded, as he tried to explain,
but lie thought she should have told
him first. He had replied to her cut
ting words that she, of course, could
do as she pleased, but that her respect
for him should at least have guarded
her from this. Whereupon she had
risen upon her dignity and the storm
burst in all its fury.
But now he would admit he was
wrong and have it over with. The
first cousin wasn't formidable enough
to inspire him with any jealousy; and
as for the principle of the thing, why,
that was something that could be
abandoned easily enough.
There was slight strain of pride,
mingled with natural humbleness in
his voice, as he came over and stood
by her as she stifliy entered the room,
with her face averted and no signs Of
surrender on her part.
Dearest" he said quietly, 81
was wrong last night. Believe me,
did not mean all that snid. 1t wasn't
that 1 was jealous, but I thought
Well, never mind what L thought.
But, of course, ] had no right to rule
you in such manner, or to be so ar
bitrary. Will you forgive me?"
Her eyes met his, slowly and in
some surprise. There was a slight
pause. "Why, yes," she said at last;
81 suppose 1 shall have to-"
TWAS natural and proper then that
he should kiss her.
What happened during the next
half hour is of no consequence, except
in so far as it differed from what
usually happens when two people who
love each other are alone. And that
it did differ he felt acutely to himself,
though he was not able to define the
reason.
She was not the same. She had
accepted his apology with apparent
grace, and yet there was lacking that
subtle something which she had never
before withheld from him.
Dear" he said, finally "what is
the matter? Don't you love me?"
why, of course" she replied.
He shook his head "You don't
love me as much as you did," he per-
sisted. "before-before last night"
"Well, no." she admitted. A tear
stood in her eye.
''Tell me, darling" he said, "what
is the matter?'
81 was only thinking" she said
sadly, how much more I could have
loved you if you hadn't admitted that
you were wrongw--Tom Mas son, in

The Australian insect fauna is esti-
mated at 200 species, but it is be-
lieved that the actual number 10 con-
siderably greater. OF these the great
est variety is to be found in New
South Wales, the scientific collections
formed in Sydney and elsewhere being
of singular attractiveness and in
terest. In the vicinity OF streams may
be found large and beautiful dragon
flies, often of considerable size; while
verywhere during the warmer months
of the year the ceaseless hum of the
cigale reminds the traveller of a similar
insect experience in Italy. Native
honey bees are plentiful in many
places and are easily recognizable BY
their small size, being little larger
than the common house fly. Mos.
quitoes are practically unknown in the
dry interior, but their place is taken
by the sand fly, an equally mis-.
chievous insect. There are spiders OF
all sizes, a few being poisonous, but
their webs are generally of a most
fanciful character. The splendid ap.
pearance of some of the butterflies
rivals that of the most gorgeous in.
sects found in South American forests.

John Murray recently summed up
the latest discoveries concerning the
ocean. The deep sea, he says, is q
region of darkness, as we'll as of low
temperature, because the rays of the
sun are wholly absorbed by the super
fetal layers of water. Plant life is
absent, but animal life is abundant in
those nighthaunted depths. The
majority of the deep-sea animals live
by eating mud and by catching the
minute particles of organic matter
which descend from above. Many of
the indicating animals are of gigantic
size compared with their allies in
shallower waters, but they are the
prey of rapacious enemies armed with
peculiar prehensile organs. Some
deep-sea fishes are blind while others
have very large eyes. Phosphorescent
light plays an important role III the
great deeps. Sometimes the animals
are furnished with osphorescent
organs which recall the use of bulls.
eye lanterns.
