Parrots as Advertisers.

A London instructor of parrots
makes specially of training them
to be advertisers. They are taught so
that whenever they see anyone enter
a shop they say. Have you tried So
and-Sos Milk Porridge?" or Hair
Restorer?" or whatever the commo-
dity is. The parrots cage, bearing a
label advertising the patent commo.
dity, stands on the shop counter, and
the bird "puffs" the article all day
long. for he has been purposely taught
nothing else. Some of the mammoth
food manufacturing firms have bought
several of these advertising parrots.
and lend them out to the shops that
puff their particular specially.

A NATION OF APPLE-EATERs.
American People Heavy Consumers Of
the Succulent Fruit.

The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
in the United States at something over
two hundred millions. This Is nearly
three trees to every person. These
trees yield more than one hundred
and seventy-fiye million bushels. Not
all these apples are consumed at
home. for in years of full crop more
than three million bushels go abroad.
Yet. the apples kept at home are more
than two bushels for every adult and
child. We are nation of apple-eat'
ers. This fact may not be to our cred

Mr.. and Mrs. James Brazis. living

three times in the same day, and prob

Kingfisher to get married and after
getting a license were united by the
old Probate judge. S. E. Sanders. The
groom thought that perhaps it might
be well If ]. NJ. Graham, Probate judge

mony, so Mr.. Graham tightened up the
nuptial knot. The bride still had a
lingering doubt as to the legality of

clergyman were called into requisi-

the case on the ground that the 90

How "Joe" Cannon chews Gum.

Congressman Cannon is not an ha-
bitual gum chewer, but when he does
indulge his performance is simply as
founding. One stick of the stuff lasts
him about couple of minutes, or un-
til the sweetness has begun to disap-
pear. Then he throws it away and
takes another. SO that the ordinary s.
cent package never lasts him more
than quarter of an hour. When it is
all gone Uncle Joe generally bites
off a fresh chew of tobacco and takes
