Language of Parrots.

Do parrots understand what they
say? A scientist relates that he has
a Brazilian parrot which is a fluent
and accomplished speaker. A gray
parrot was introduced on day, but the
Brazilian hautily declined to have
anything to say to the gray. Then a
neighbor who has just been given a
newly imported green Brazilian
brought the newcomer to call. The
moment the parrots caught sight of
each other they broke into a torrent
Of apparently articulate language,
consisting, as it seemed, of questions
and answers, but what the language
was no one present could tell. The
owner of the first parrot had never
during the years it had lived with
him heard it speak the strange
tongue. The two parrots talked to
each other without ceasing all the
time they were together, and a few
days later, when they met again, ex-
actly the same thing happened. Was
the first parrot, long eXiled from it's
native forests, asking eagerly for news
of its people?

NfD RS. BOVRIL was at home-not
tNxVt to all the world, but to the Sc
1888 lect few who happened to in
terest her in that particular year Of
grace. There were no old friends
among them. Mrs. Bovrill had few
old friends, and she did not encourage
them. She used to say they were like
old servants, and became %impudent as
time went on. Besides, she liked a
change, and the men-well, it only took
al intelligent man three weeks to find
her out.
There were usually about four WON
EN- in the room, and they were careful
ly chosen for their ugliness and pa
tient dispositions. Every one said she
hired then to irritate the men and in
crease their longing to escape to her
side. 1T was certainly IN understood
thing at Mrs. Bovril's that only one
man was to sit by her at a time. She
gave each one his turn, If he deserved
1t. and expected him to serve his seven
years cheerfully In another corner Of
the room. That they were content to
do this is a proof of the wonderful fas-
cination she exercised over her ad-
mirers.
To-day, however, the young men
rubbed their eyes and stared. What
was Mrs. Bovril thinking Of? There
was a young and beautiful woman Ian
guidly slipping tea on Mrs. Bovril's own
particular sofa; she must have got in
by accident, or force, or guile. Their
hostess would never have been so fool
ish as to ask a possible rival.
They were mistaken, however. She
had been the subject of a special invi-
tation. The fact was Mrs. Paunceforte

in the country all her life. Mrs. Bow.
rll had taken pity on her ignorance,
and had asked her round to show her
how things ought to be done.
MY dear" she had said some days
previously, you really must have
some admirers"
Il have my husband" Mrs. Deane
had replied with provoking innocence.
Your husband? Yes, Of course. SO
have i. But If your husband is the
only man who is going to admire you,
you will soon lose your a~ttractiveness
In his eyes. Men like their wives to
be y after. 1t gives them the pride
of possession. They like to think that
they hGve got what other men are
longing for?'
And what other men may take from
them. Is 1t not rather dangerous, Mrs.
Bovril?'
How seriously you take everything,

"Fire? Fiddlesticks! Come round
on Tuesday. l have n few people in.
You will like them, l expect. They are
rather different to the ordinary people,

Mrs. Deane had laughed. But she
was a girl, and liked something new.
so she came round.

Wrightsville. n. c., June 13.-Intrest IN
the Teachers Assembly, whose final ses-
sion was held here at the seashore Hotel
last night knew no tagging from the
opening of the assembly until its close.
The enthusiasm felt by this band of no
BILE men in their work, the lofty and pa
triotic purpose animating each individual,
kindled to an ever richer glow by the cam
paign of education now sweeping the
State with resstless force, brought
forth its fruit in strong, practical and
withal imprisoned addresses whose effect
will be felt in broader, deeper, more ag-
gressive work throughout the State. Be
ing themselves the leaders in this move
ment they have drawn fresh inspiration
from the results of their own labors and
will return to their tasks with renewed
zeal and vigor.
Many of the admirable papers and adj
dresses that inspired the assembly have
already been published in these columns

work in the hight of which one may real
ize how obstacles in the way of educational
progress have been surmounted in the
past, and how with strong and united ef
fort those which still rear themselves viii
be overcome in the future.
The address OF Mr. r. ID. w. Conner, on
Calvin H. Wiley, was one of the most
memorable delivered. There we're also
strong papers by Mr.. E. c. Brooks upon

MR.. CoNNOR's ADDRESS.
Mr.. R. D. w. Conner, in his address
on Calvin H. Wiley, said in part:
mo feeling dwells within the breast Of
man nobler than that of admiration for
one higher than himself No PASSION
stirs the human heart nobler than that
Of gratitude. The man who has received
from his parents life and power and
ability to serve others can render no
ritter return for these blessings than to
be grateful for them. So with an asso-
cation of men. They can be moved by
no feeling higher than that of gratitude
To their founder for the life and power
and influence that he gave to them. When
death has removed that founder from
| their midst, the height of ingratitude is
to permit his name to sink into oblivion;
the duty and pleasure of gratitude is to
/ honor and exalt that name that the world
| following the example thus set may in
turn reverence and extol it. It is al
together just and proper, therefore, for
this assembly Of North Carolina teachers
to honor and commemorate the memory Of
Calvin H. Wiley, the Father of North
Cardinals Public School System. In our
zeal and enthusiasm in carrying on the
work which he began, we have permitted
ourselves to forget for while the great
debt of gratitude that we owe to his sac
rifices and lahors. As it is never safe for
| a people to cut loose from the mornings
of their past and to lose the guidance
and inspiration of the leaders who made
| that past, it must be viewed as favor
able omen that a part Of our program
has been given up to consideration Of
:, the services Of the ablest of our educa-
tional leaders of the past.
! calvin H. Wiley was inspired to M
dertake the work Of his life by practical
and foresighted patriotism-not that ma
triotism that contents itself with idle
boastings and painted phraseology but
that which manifests itself in work, in
sacrifice if need be- for the good of the
State. His patriotic pride was aroused
by great evil he saw overshadowing
the prosperity of his native state, and
his intense loyalty stirred him to under
+, take a deathless struggle to conquer this
| danger He saw his State threatened with
ruin and decay from the evil habit her
