rHR ENIGMA OF FORK AND PAY.

1t ought not to require the assembling
Of politicians, statesmen, jatists and the
chief executives of states and the nation
TO solve the simple enigma OF the rela-
tions between the iaborer and the pay
m stsr 1t is all simple proposition:
Labor and live'-''sit still and starve.
There is no statute law-nor any other
law for that purpose-that can Ky any
possibility compel man to labor, but
there is a condition arising from his re-
fusal to labor that will, inexorably,
compel him to suffer for the refusal.
Therefore, the large majority prefer TO
labor rather than endure the SUFFERING.
He does not often labor unless there be
prospect of compensation from some
source and that source may be an tas-
ployer, or it may be the earth, some
commodity contained in the earth, or
some business in the world of affairs
But, whateverit may BE-, he is at liberty
to cease labor whenever he so desires;
but if his cessation cause damage to any
person who has legal claim for it's con-
tinuance, that damage must be satisfied
in some way.
1t is a human frailty, both in the en-
ployer and the laborer, the employer to
get his work done as cheaply as possible
without ref renee to whether the labor
er is making profit or not, and of the
laborer to get as much for his work as
possible without reference to whether
the employer is making profit or not
Here is tho point, and only point of di-
vergence between the employer and the
laborer. Employers organic to de-
crease wages, aud iaborers organize to
increase them, and hers is where the
first conflict begins. Neither one can
confde their interests to the other with
safety. What now ought, in human
honesty, to be done? This is the enigma
that at present is arresting the attention
of the civilized world.
Solution; 1t is as simple and easy -
buying Goldfish from a grocery meg-
chant. If the employer cannot afford
to pay as much wages as the laborer
demands, he should tell him plainly ard
kindly, and then walk inside and shut
off steam; an if the laborer cannot al
ford to work for the wages the employer
is paying he should plainly and kindly
tell him so, then take up his lunch pail
and depart in peace. Here the strife
with these parties; but, if the respective
parties could agree with other parties,
operations could be resumed and all
would be peace.
Employers often designsdly arrange
their affairs in hopes of holding their
laborers On one pretext or another wheth-
er they wish to remain or not; and lab
orers frequently arrange their system Of
labor at time when their services are
of most value, so as to compel the EN-
ployer to retain them whether he wishes
to or not. What remedy for such
system of dealing that each is continu-
ally striving to countervail the otherg

Electricity in odors.

1t is generally believed that odors
are carnations of indefinite minute
ness, and it is well known that many
odorous substances are volatile. Thus
the rose, the wallflower, the violet and
innumerable liquid and solid scents
are supposed to be throwing off par
ticles inconceivably small, yet with
energy enough to excite the olfactory
nerve. Air conveying odors has been
sent through tubes packed with cot
ton wool, which it is known would
stop any particle 100-100Oths of an
inch in diameter. Musk has diffused
its scent for years, and at the end of
the time the most delicate balance
has failed to discover any loss of
weight. One wonders whether these
odor active bodies are giving forth
scent ions, and whether these have
any electric haracters.-Science.

No robin or oriole knows it's own
notes better than does Polly. Her
imitation of the robin note is so like
the real thing that, despite the snow
banks, the person within hearing looks
through the window to see what robin
it is that has mistaken the season. 1t
may, perhaps, be put down as an I'M
fortunate day when the parrot heard
the Wisconsin bluejay at it's best, or,
better, at its worst. There is perhaps
nothing more unmusical in nature
than the bluejay's notes. AS matter
of fact Polly seems to prefer the jay
call to that of the silver-tongued oriole
and gives little heed to the preference
of her admirers.
One might go on indefinitely enumer-
ating the accomplishments of Mrs.
Winston's parrot. There are few
things that are good to eat of which it
does not know the name and for which
it does not know how to call vocifer-
ously. Polly is no mere cracker bird.
She calls for bread, coffee, peanuts,
apples and other things much more
frequently than for the proverbial
polly cracker" She whistles March
ing Through Georgia" from start to
finish and beats time with her foot.
Some visitor of the Petersen's III
Wisconsin once had sore throat, and
ever since that time Polly "gargles''
periodically. She has a habit of re-
naming silent for about Is minutes,
listening to the conversation of the
people about her. Then she astounds
them by suddenly saying: 81 know
what you are talking about" The
nearest approach to downright i'm
politeness of which she is guilty is the
telling of people that they are stupid.

ACCOMPLISHED PARROT.
Polly Can Talk in Several Languages,
Sings Like Bird and Banks
Like a Dog

In the household of F. S. Winton,
SIG North State street, Chicago, there
is a parrot. Many households have
parrots, all of them more or less re-
markable, but it is doubtful, bird fan
ciers say, if a search of all the parrot
records would disclose a Polly of any
land with one 1.-THE the accomplish
ments that are possessed by this "Af-
rican Gray" which Mr.. Winston re-
Gently bought in Sheboygan county,
Wis, as present for his wife.
Polly was famous throughout the
land round and about its Badger state
home. When the bird was sold the
people of the community considered it
personal loss, and Polly was given
"write-ups" that were as fattering as
though she had departed this life in
stead of simply having taken jour
ney to the big city.
The Winston parrot, says the Chi
cago Record-Herald, was the property
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Petersen, of Ply
mouth, Wis. They bought it when four
months old.
For five years it underwent a course
of instruction, though it picked up
about twice as much as it was inten-
tionally taught. 1t speaks well for the
Petersen household that Polly in the
whole range of her extensive vocab-
ulary has not one profane word. The
parrot was brought to the attention
of Mrs. Otto Gaffron, a well-known
writer on Wisconsin bird life. 1t was
she who wrote the parrots biography
when the Plymouth people were weep
ing over the birds departure for the
Winston household. Polly is a lin
quist. Other parrots there have been
in multitudes who spoke more than
one language, but where has there
been a parrot who knew enough to
make an inquiry first as to whether the
person addressed preferred the one
language to the other, or knew one to
the exclusion of the other? There
must have been CONSERVATION in the
mind of Mrs. Winston's maid when
the first morning after Polly's arrival
the bird politely said: "Bitte, Polly
will raus," and then, when the bird
saw there was no comprehension in
the girls face it said ooh, you don't
speak German? Well, then you will
understand this: Polly would like to
come out, if you please"
This North State street parrot
knows how to spell. She is so sure of
the proper arrangement of the letters
that she corrects people when they go
astray in the spelling of the words.
Poll will occasionally say to a passer:
"Can you spell?'
If the person addressed respond in
the affirmative the parrot will say,
"Spell dog" If the word be purposely
misspelled Polly will instantly spell it
correctly, pronounce it, and then, to
show that she knows what she is
about, she whistles as a man whistles
to a dog and then will bark in response.
Polly also knows how to spell ''lIitty,'
and she can new as naturally as any
