The well known gray parrot is most
satisfactory and popular pet. The male
and the female look exactly alike. and
both will talk. The female talks less,
learning fewer words and phrases. but
she pronounces with great distinct
ness. They are capital mimics and
catch different tones Of voice with
nicely. In the very young gray par
rot the iris Is black; In the older birds
It Is yellow. The iris Of the young
birds eyes changes gradually; the eyes
are dark for about seven months. AS
the gray parrot is long-lived and SLOW
ly reaches maturity, the young ones
must be fed and watched with special
care. The only way to care for a very
young parrot is to boil the corn which
Is fed Il and make II into pulp. put
ting 1t into the birds beak, or letting
It feed from the owners fingers, as II
would from the beaks Of the parent
birds. The feeding Of young parrots
must be done frequently, or they Will
die Of starvation. The gray parrot Is
fed practically like the others. oD
hemp, sunfower seed, Indian corn,
fresh fruit and some nuts. Almonds

There Is less drinking in the homes Of re-

has foisted upon the people.
The average number of those liable for

1851 to 1885. at the rate of 800 per year;

How 10 Form the Reading Habit.

In order to organize odd minutes
into fruitful hours one must have q
consistent scheme and keep the means
of carrying 1t out within reach. Too
many people read the books which
come in their way instead Of putting
themselves in the way Of getting the
right books. They buy and borrow
without thought or plan because they
do not understand that reading ought
to be q resource as we'll as recrea-
ton. Decide in advance what books
you will read. and do not take up
with those which drift In your direc-
ton. Do not burden yourself with n
scheme so extensive that 1t discOur-
ages you; do not. at the start. plan
courses of reading SO vast that you
are weighed down with their magni-
tude. Begin in q quiet and easy way
by planning to read consecutively a
few books in some field which inter
ests you.-Hamilton ". Mabie. in the
Ladies' Home Journal.

Negley was the bully Of the settle

KING EDWARDS REIGN.

If King Edward Is so far recovered
az to be able to read the BLUE Books,he
would do we'll to carefully study the
latest returns relating to the pauper-
iem of England and Wales, says Kier
Hardie's Labor Leader Of GLASGOW. He
would be shocked to find how greatly
the number Of paupers has increased
since he came to the throne. We are
not speaking of the loafers who tramp
from one casual ward to another, but
Of the bonaflde recipients either of in.
door or outdoor relief-persons for
the most part who have broken down
in the desperate struggle to live under
our present economic conditions, and
who ought not to be called paupers at
all but veteran soldiers of industry.
These have increased during the Kings
short reign by nearly 5000. On the
3Oth of April last,th date to which the
return is made up there were in Eng
land and Wales alone 695,235 persons
in receipt Of relief. This is S,577 more
than the number for the corresponding
date Of last year. In London alone
the increase was 2,135, and in every
district Of the kingdom excepting the
Southwestern there was noteworthy
increase. In the Northern district the
increase was very, slight, namely; only
fifty-eight, but still the fact that there.
was an increase in the North, where
it was supposed that the war had made
the mining and iron trades busy, Is
significant. Now, il the bonaf1de pau
perism of the country has increased at
the alarming rate which these figures
indicate while the flower Of the ma
tional manhood has been told off for
the war, what will be the state Of the
country when the bulk of the troops
now returning from South Africa, be-
gin to compete for work.
