One day a man who had had consider
able experience with parrots happened
to come in, and when | complained of
the birds loquacity he said: why
don't you get an owl? You get an owl
and hang him up close to that parrots
cage, and in about two days you'll find
that your birds dead sick of unprofit-
able conversation"
Well, got small owl and put him
in a cage close to the parrots cage.
The parrot began by trying to dazzle
the owl with his conversation, but it
wouldn't work. The owl sat and looked
at the parrot just as solemn as min
lister whose salary has been cut down.
and after awhile the parrot tried him
with Spanish. 1t wasn't of any use.
Not a word would the owl let on to un-
derstand. Then the parrot tried brag-
ging and laid himself out to make the
owl believe that Of all the parrots in
existence he was the ablest. But he
couldn't turn feather of the owl.
The noble bird sat silent as the
grave and looked at the parrot as If to
say, "This is indeed a melancholy ex-
hibition of imbecility." Well. before
night that parrot was so ashamed of
himself that he closed for repairs, and
from that day forth he never spoke an
unnecessary word. Such, gentlemen.

birds.-W. L. Alden.

Ralph waldo Emerson,s Spree

There is an old tradition that tells
how Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Sage
of Concord, once went on a wild, reck-
less spree. Weary of Marcus Aurelius,
Alcott and the serene heights of Con-
cord, he resolved to make plunge into
the vortex Of crime and folly In great
city to see vice and the vicious at close
range and thus learn by experience of
the underworld
He went straight to the saloon Of one
Brigham In Boston, in those days far
famed among Harvard students as the
aboriginal inventor of more fancy
drinks" than any one since the days
of Father Bacchus. Bewildered by the
festive scene and the endless list of
beverages he had never heard of, he
asked Brigham which one of the. whole
bibulous catalogue might be relied on
to impart the largest sum total of ex-
perience in the shortest possible time,
to which devout inquiry genial Brig
ham, who at once took in the situation,
is said to have replied, "Oh, guess a
glass of lemonade would be the right
thing for youv-Boston Herald.

Natures wonders.

The common flea leaps 200 times its
own length To show like agility
man six feet tail would have to leap
distance of 1.2OO feet The cheese
mite is about one-quarter of an inch
In length, yet 1t has been seen to take
the tip of its tail in its mouth and
then. letting go with a jerk, to leap out
of vessel six inches in depth. To
equal this a man would have to jump
out of well from depth of IA feet
And equally strange things are found
among the plants and vegetables. A
well known student of nature once
tried the growing force of squash.
When 1t was eighteen days old and
measured twenty-seven inches In cir
conference, be fixed sort of harness
around it, with long lever attached.
The power of the squash was measur-
ed by the weight 1t lifted, the weight
being fixed to the lever. When 1t was
twenty days old. two days after the
harness was fixed on 1t, 1t lifted sixty
pounds. On the nineteenth day it lift
ed 5000 pounds.

Much Ado Ahout an as. -

The printing Of the Bible Is the most
strictly guarded work In existence, a
fact which appears strange until we
reflect on the mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about The kings
printers and the two universities Of
Oxford and Cambridge give to the
world all the Bibles printed in the
United Kingdom except some printed
by special license. A few years ago
the question arose whether the word
'sspirit' in Matthew iv, l, and Mark |,
IL, should have a capital 49," 1t having
been previously printed with small
one, and, although the word was obvi-
ously wrongly printed, it was not until
after the ruling powers at the UNIVERSE
ties and the kings printers had met in
solemn council that leave was given to
use the capital letter.
Nothing sanctioned by authority In
1911 may be changed without creating
something akin to revolution in thu,
places where Bibles are printed.-Liv-

Verdi and His Admirer.

Verdi was once travelling in the same
railway carriage with General Tour
non, commander of the Ravenna dis
trict They got into conversation,
which soon turned on the subject Of
music, and the general, who did not
know his companion, expressed most
enthusiastic preference for that of It
ally. II can hardly go so far with you"
replied the other. "For me. art has no
frontiers. and I give German music
the preference over Italian"
Indeed, SIR" said the general testi-
ly. For my part, l would give all the
German operas in the world for one
act of 'Rigoletto.'
you really must excuse me from
following you any further on this
ground" replied the composer, blush

Along with the habit to pronounce
peoples names correctly, to reply
promptly to notes and the like another
mark of the regard for the rights of
others which indicates inherent refine
ment is the practice of returning Dor
rowed articles. In cities and large
communities there Is comparatively
little of the kitchen borrowing that
has come to be proverbial in stories.
but there are few households which
do not find fairly good list of Dor
rowed articles accumulated in the
course of the year, book from this
friend, an umbrella from that, a writ
ten recipe from another, bit Of fancy
work as a model from another, and so
on. The use which the borrower has
for the loaned articles is temporary. 1t
is therefore purely selfish laziness
which retains them after such use

Night Habits That Assert Their Do.
nfnion Over All Mankind.
There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there is
not an individual in the world who has
not some trick of distributing limbs
and trunk to insure slumber's blissful
spell which he practices unconscious
~. This is a night habit as perpetual
and immutable under normal condi-
tons as the succession of the seasons.
No sooner are we really off to the land
of nod than the night habit asserts its
dominion. Our hands and arms seek
the same parts of the bed or the same
portions of our bodies upon which they
have nightly rested since infancy. Our
feet and legs stretch at the same an
giles or loosely intwine In comfortable
relaxation, as commanded by uncon-
scious will.
1t is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies In
night on going to bed If you remember
these words. In truth, If you do not
seek to combat the instincts you will
be surprised at the dispositions of the
various members involuntarily made.
If you endeavor to sleep by new ar
rangement Of the body, you will also
be surprised by the revolt against
slumber which will surely ensue, but
even before the struggle is well begun
you will probably surrender and per-
NIT the all masterful night habit to re-
instate those little details of position

Fasting For Health. sake.

We all eat more than we require, and
this daily repeated superhuity lends to
stodginess. In a more primitive state
of society meals were more irregular,
and the amount of food tailed more
with the effort expended in obtaining it.
Now we eat because it is a mealtime.
Too many Of us eat not by rule, but to
repletion, while probably all of us eat
again before we are really hungry.
Day after day a little more is taken
than is used, and this excess either dis
turbs the liver or leases the stomach
or, circulating in a hyperplastic blood,
leads to torpor, or sometimes is put by
out of harms way for the time, but
much to the distress Of the patient lat
er on-in the form of fat. Thus we
never have an opportunity of striking
proper balance between intake and
output unless we follow the wise max
inns Of the church and fast once week,
not mere abstaining from the more
toothsome delicacies, but fasting hon
estly, even to emptiness and discom-
fort.-London Hospital.

Not unless he wants to ruin the horse. At
