ffshe Cant Talk Back. -

It seems an old reversal of things
in the parrot world where only the
male bird is endowed with organs by
which he can reproduce human
speech, the female being wholly de-
MED the power Of such acquisition.
"And what harsh, unpleasant jar
gon he makes of it, too" remarked q
woman customer when given this
information by a fancier, adding,
"Naturally!' Whereupon her escort
retorted. "You may bs sure the
others make up for it in parrot
talk, and probably poor Jack has to
her more than many Of his human
brothers in afiiction." Then he re-
mained quite silent while the woman
bought an expensive male bird, extra
volubility warranted, and ordered
the bill sent in his name.

Fish Flour il Norway.

A great deal is done in Norway to
improve and preserve the provisions
produced in the country and to pro-
cure market for them abroad. The
fisheries represent one OF Norway's
chief industries, and quantities Of
fish are sold at very low rates, par
ticularly during summer. One way
in which these are utilized is by
means of an invention whick quickly
dries and pulverizes the flesh Of
fresh fish. The resulting product,
called fish -four, is easy to transport
from one place to another and has
great nutritive value. A new and
profitable branch of industry might
be established in America, by utiliz-
ing fish in this way.

mend Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic
Pellets. In this locality this ''mild

altogether superseded the old style
drastic liver pills. A cure for consti-

Notes from Little Black Greek

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The health in our community is
very good at this writing.
The good old Dispatch is a wei
come visitor to my home.
We have sown large acreage IN
wheat this year, have a good stand
and it looks well.
The farmers are all about through
gathering their crops and the yield
is coed.
I think Mr.. Reuben Bouknight is
our model farmer. He told me a few
days ago that he made nine bales OF
cotton. and corn enough to do him
this year with one horse. That is
good farming in the sand.
The Wateree school is Aourishing
with Mr.. H ". Rrsh as teacher.
Mr.. Calvin Taylor has been our
thrpen,ine boy this year but the cold
weather has taken the tar off OF his
heels until next spring.

Pond Branch church last Saturday

and enjoyed the exercises very much.
After the boys aud girls did credit
to themselves, the congregation was
delighted with a very interesting ad-
dress by Hon. W. Fl. Sharpe. 1t is
good to be among good people.

tion of the bituminous mines, and
which, they say, could bring the fuel
here in quantities sufficient to relieve
the distress we're it so inclined. The
railroad, however, says it is suffering
from a congestion of freight traffic
that will probably last until July or
August.
In the meantime the scarcity Of hard
coal is causing suffering and inconven-
ience in this city. With the recent
cold wave many poor people found II
impossible to keep their houses warm,
and in several churches the congre-
cations sat well mufled up. Many of
the station houses lack coal, and all
sorts Of expedients are rescrted to
by the policemen to keep warm.

The bite of the sea lion is poisonous;
besides, it is an ugly wound from the
manner in which it is inflicted. Al
though the creature moves painfully
and slowly on land. the motion of its
head and neck Is extremely quick. The
neck seems to have an almost elastic
quality. One is surprised at its reach.
The sea lion is like bulldog. When
he has caught hold. he does not let go
at once, but sets his teeth firmly in the
flesh. Then he twists his head, the
teeth being still embedded in the flesh,
and, without relinquishing his grip, he
gives a quick jerk. The result is to
pull out a ragged piece OF flesh IL the
animal has taken a deep hold.-Leslie's

NOW WAITING
ON VENEZUELA
1t Is Believed President Cas-
tro Will Accept Arbitra-
ton Proposal
BOWEN is COMING TO WASHINGTON

Washington. Dec. 3O.-The venezue-
Ian negotiations now wait upon Pres
ident Castro. Minister Bowen has
been fully advised by the state de-
partment OF the result of its exchanges
with the foreign offices at London, Ber-
lin and Rome, and he has been charged
to take the case in hand himself and
arrange the details OF the protocol
which will precede the submission Of
the foreign claims to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal. In so doing
Mr.. Bowen is acting, not as United
States minister, but as Venezuela's
representative. The officials here wish
it to be distinctly understood that their
functions ceased. so far as the Yene-
zuelan difficulty was concerned, when
they brought the parties to the con.
troversy together.
By the latest Venezuela advices 1t
is noted that President Castro is ex.
pested at Caracas, and it is felt that
he will not consume much time in max
ing up his mind to accept the propo.
sails handed out to him through Minis
ter Bowen.
1t also seems probable that Minis.
ter Bowen will come to Washington as
Venezuela's representative on the com.
mission, which drew up the protocol
providing for the submission of the
claims Of the powers to The Hague
tribunal. It has been decided that he
may so represent Venezuela, notwith.
standing the fact that he is at present
charged with the interests OF Great
Britain, Germany, Italy and other Eu
ropean powers in Venezuela. AS soon
as he leaves Venezuela this charge
will pass to Mr.. Russell. the secretary
and charge of the American legation,
whose reputation at the state depart
ment is that of a thoroughly compe.
tent and able officer.
The selection of Mr.. Bowen will
cause a postponement Of the Assem-.
bling Of the proposed commission until
he can arrive here from Caracas.
Will Supervise italian Claims.
Rome, Dec. S0.-The Italin minister
at The Hague, the Chevalier Tugeni,
has been ordered personally to super.
wise the procedure in the matter Of
the settlement Of the Italian claims
against Venezuela before the interna.
tional peace court at The Hague. The
documents in the case will be for.
warded to him by courier.
