The Union for which you fought has
been saved by your valor heroism and
sacrifice and that of your comrades. The
Union is stronger, mightier, more power
full and freer than ever before. We are to-
gether now and the national sentiment
stands stronger, firmer and higher than II
ever was before. There has been within
the past two years a reunion of all the
people around the holy altar of country
newly sanctifed by common sacrifice. The
followers of Grant and of Lee have fought
under the same colors and have fallen for
the same cause, and let us comrades of
the Loyal Legion, on this the anniversary
of the birth of the Father of His Country,
resolve. in the language of Lincoln to ded-
icate ourselves anew to the imperisha bic
clause which he advanced so far upon its
way and which saved the state; as he said
at Gettysburg, let us firmly resolve that

vain, that the cause for which they shed
their blood shall never perish from the

TEACHING PARROTS TO TALK.
An Expert Covers the Cage when u

From the Baltimore sun.
The natural tendency of some species of
parrots to learn to talk is weh illustra ted
was recently added 10 the animal and
birds on exhibition. In the confusion of
sounds-the roaring of lions, the trumpet
ing of the elephant, the chatter of the
monkeys the stentorian commands of the
animal trainers and the blaring of the
band-may be heard the shrili screech of
the parrots. An intent listener will dis
cover 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 Lee
turer Rollins is initiated in some of his
sentences describing the animals OF the
feats about to be performed
Alexander Day, assistant superintendent
of the zoo. says that like the wild animals
which are capable of being trained, the
parrots will early give evidence of their
aptitude 10 learn to talk. The best way
to train a parrot to talk is, ne 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 20 distinguish the sounds
alone and not the individuality OF the
teacher.
{ The gray parrots are said 10 be the best
takers although the Amazonian or 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 1macaws, which also come from the
West Indies. can rarely be taught to talk.
