howled with rage, and then he fairly

Tenching a Parrot.

"There are two ways" said a bird
dealer. "Of teaching parrot to talk.
One way is to put him in a darkened
room, to sit in a corner and to repeat
over and over again the word you
want him to acquire. A clever palrct
will learn a word or a phrase after
some 400 or 500 repetitiOns, while for
some it takes a week or more. You
must keep still in the room. No sounds
from within or without the house
save your voice, mOnotonOusly repeat
ing the phrase to be acquired, must
reach the parrots ear. Some people
teach their birds in a well lighte,
room, speaking from a place of con
cealment in a closet or behind a door
This method is not so good, because il
the light the parrots attention is dis
tracted."

Like Father. Unlike Son.

The Lancet, the well known English
medical weekly, has been inquiring in
to the question of the transmission of
genius from father to son and has
found that the sons of great poets are
generally dull dogs. Poetic fervOr is
evidently spiritual flame that burns
itself out in the generation wherein it
is kindled. Indeed it often seems to
burn out the very aptitude for pater-
nifty, or is it that the poet is generally
too poor to permit himself the delight
of fatherhOOd? However it may be,
many eminent English poets can never
be accused of having dull dogs of
sons because they never had any sons
at all. Cowley, Butler, Otway, Prior,
Congreve, Gay, Phillips, Savage,
Thomson, Collins, Shenstone, Akenslde
Goldsmith, Gray, Johnson and Keats
all died without leaving offspring, and
Pope, Swift, Watts and Cowper were
never married. Dryden's, Addison'E
and Parnell's descendants did not pass
into the second generation, and the
descendants of Shakespeare and Mil
ton became extinct in the second anC
third generations. Sir Walter Scott
baronetcy expired with his son.-Har

Close Quarters For washington.

At the time, now some years ago,

tied for the erection of a statue in New
York city to President Washington,
says a contributor to Short Stories, a
gentleman called to secure a contribu-

Washington does not need a statue! l

there was more assurance of a stable

1t is evident that there is friendly
feeling growing daily for the United
States. Final annexation will be
brought about by one or two causes.
Should it be found that Cuba is able
to maintain peace and order and to
negotiate treaty with our government
sthat will enable it to find an outlet
for it's products, Americans and Ameri-

island. On the other hand should she
be unable to give the island peace and

would prevail and then I think this
