Manchester docks II seems strange TO
see all the surroundings OF ohe of the
largest seaports right in the heart Of
a rich manufacturing and agricultural
country. The docks are watts, of water
walled with masonry and surrounded
with great warehouses, which are
equipped with the finest OF modern ma
chinery. The water space within them
covers 256 acres, and the total length OF
the quays about them Is more than five
miles. In one OF the docks three Allan
tic liners have been berthed simultane-
olsly at the same quay, and during my
visit yesterday | saw ship from Bonn
bay, one from Australia and one from
Galveston loading and unloading goods
almost side by side. Along the docks
railways run and the company has 100
miles Of track connected with the canal,
and there are more than 30 trains daily,
carrying goods in and out the docks.

"George, dear. why is it that the
scientific persons don't try to investi-
gate the inside of the earth?"
II suppose they consider it beneath
them, my love-" replied George, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
s'There, George, you are trying to joke
again. I'm serious about this-real Sc
rious. 1t seems to me that it would
be doing the world great service if
somebody could find out just what it
is stuffed with"
"That is the woman of it, dear. You
want to get at the cotton batting and
sawdust. Yes, you do. You are con-
sumed by ruthless curiosity. You
want to find the funny business that
makes the doll say papa and mamma
It's the destructive instinct that all
women possess"
'sWhy, George, you're horridr
"Oh, I know your sex. We've. had
several women in our family knew
all about you when / married you. But
suppose you could get your destructive
little scissors into the inside of the
globe. Would it do you any good to
find out that the cotton batting was
gun cotton, and the sawdust giant
powder?"
"George, you are mean thing. /
don't care the littlest bit what's in
side the old earth. Only it does seem
as if we ought to know. Perhaps we
could guard against things better if
we knew what to expect"
"Pooh, pooh, my dear. The chances
are if you knew what to expect, you
wouldn't sleep a wink afterwards.
Your head would be filled with the
wildestapprehension. Your ears would
be strained to catch the hollow crash
that foretold the end of everything.
You'd walk pussy footed for fear of
breaking through the crust. You'd
have sulphur respirator, and lava
cellar, and steel umbrella that would
shed cinders. Oh, you'd enjoy your in
side knowledge, / don't Think
"George, I'm not going to suggest
anything serious again. You make
light of everything. All had in mind
was hole bored down into the. earth
far enough to enable us to know what's
going on down there"
"And suppose when you found out
you'd pull the hole up and fold it away
for future use?"
George, I'm not going to say an
other word to you"

THE WHITE HOUSE PARROT.
Objects Strenuously to the Al
terations Just Begun.

When workmen began operations on
the large white house conservatory
preparatory to removing the roof and
making over the glasshouse, Polly, the
pet parrot of the presidents children,
was beside herself with rage. She
stormed at the men who removed the
plants and vociferously jawed the
workmen who broke out. the glass.
She few from one end Of the building
to the other, breaking off branches
from palms, rubber trees, and other
plants, and tipped over dozens of pots
In her efforts to drive the workmen
out.
Now. Polly sits attached to the end
of rather short rope, no longer the
monarch of the conservatory, as she
has been since her advent at the white
house with the presidents children.
Her chief delight has been to boss the
ushers and any one within reach of
her busy tongue, until "shut up" was
almost the only language heard in
that part of the house. Now, when any
of them enters: the place, Polly turns
her back, ruffies her feathers, hangs
her head, and sullenly picks at the
fetters which bind her to the perch.

Jordan is one Of the crookedest riv-
ers known. In covering a distance Of
60 miles, for that is the length of q

multiplication of it's windings.
At Buda-Pesth the wooden pavement
of whole street has just been stolen
in broad daylight and in full view Of
the police. The thief appeared in the
forenoon with a gang of laborers,
whom he ordered to-pull up the pave
ment, which he sold forthwith, prompt
ly decamping with the proceeds.
At recent cooking exhibition in
Paris President Loubet made speech
in which he declared that one of the
reasons why so many foreigners like
to visit Paris is that theyiare sure to
get better things to eat there than
anywhere else in the world, and he ex-
horted the cooks to use all their talent
to maintain this supremacy for France.
At one time drunkenness was so COM
mon in Russia among the lower classes
that it was quite usual, when engag-
ing Russian servant, to make the
most elaborate inquiries as to how
often he or she became drunk, for in
Russia many workmen and servants
who scarcely touch alcohol during the
week make point of getting drunk
every Sunday and holiday.
Count Carlo Aloisio Contarini, who
died recently in Venice, is believed to
have been the last male descendant Of
the great Contarini family that gave
eight doges and A Procuratori to the
republic. The first doge, Domenico
Contarini, ruled from 1O43 to 1911 and
rebuilt st. Marks in its present form.
The last count was retired officer in
the Italian army and very poor. He

The Gentle Bunko Artist.

One of the clever little tricks of the
day is the conversion of circular into
personal communication. The very
latest device is to have the circular, in
the usual fac-simile of typewriter type,
printed on dampened paper. The effect
delights the heart of the most expert
artist in public deception, says the New
York Press. The slight moistenine
blurs the ink ever SO slightly and leaves
the sheet trif1e uneven Of surface.
thus giving it the appearance of having
been especially dictated for the re-
cipient and put through the office copy
ing press. A Atwo-cent stamp completes
the little fraud, which harms nobody
and may catch . customer.

There was no place for her at Oyster
bay, and it was thought she would be
happier at the white house. However,
if she does not mend her ways, she will
be transferred to Sycamore Hill with
the departure of the president.
The companion of Polly's woes, who
also resents this intrusion into the
sacred precincts of her present abode,
is Mr.. Phister, the German gardener,
who has been the care-taker of the
beautiful conservatories for moro
than 80 years. His treasures have
been hustled into cramped quarters
or set about under trees on the white
house lawn until he is as detected as
the parrot.
