POLLY TOO oBsERvANT.

Passengers.

The parrot, for many years somewhat
out of favor as q pet, has of late been
steadily regaining popularity. He is Ger
tainly q bird of brains and beauty. OF
his disposition less can be said in COM
mendation; his speaking voice, however
startlingly human, is never mellifiuous;
and his laughs there any sound more
contemptuous, irritating, malevolent,
even fiendish, than the harsh, shrieking
laughter of parrot?
There is also another fault, says
Youths Companion, always to be men
toned with due charity since it is not
original his own; his dep1orable ten
dency to the use of prOfane language
Indeed, the swearing parrot. with his 1n-
nocently profane intrusions upon Sc
rious or sentimental conversation, has
become a stock parsonage in comic
anecdOte and literature.
Poor Polly! Even when he does not
acquire bad language during his first
voyage away from his native wilds, he

able.

FOREIGN TRADE OF SPAIN.
New Era of Enterprise Inaugurated
by Concern Over Lost
Colonies.

= The economic condition of SPAIN,
says the German consul-general at
Barcelona, lis much improved, and
ths country has recovered from the
crisis brought on by the war with the
United States in 1898 The recovery
was much assisted by the increased
demand for goods from Spains lost
colonies, as the war had interfered
with receiving supplies. Another
stinuant was given by the return Of
many colonial capitalists, who settled
In Spain and invested their money
there. thereby giving an impetus to
trade, finance and internal enter
prises.
The foreign trade of Spain III 1898
amounted to 1897 ,634 ,20o-im ports
SIP. ?35,000; exports, s,64, 200 The
loss of the colonies has induced the
Spanish people to- give their attention
to home improvement and enterprise,
and a new era has commenced MUCK,

plotting the rich natural resources of
the country, establishing better means

Spain has productive soil and
could raise much larger quantity OF
food stuffs than is required for home
consumption. Instead of importing
food stuffs, cattle. tobacco, coal, etc

Wakeless Auto Boat.

It is deep-draught boat that leaves a
turbulent wake. but auto boats are all
above the water, being made, as it were,
to skim over the smooth surface or from
wave to wave, like a shell, leaving hard
1y a ripple behind. And for this reason
they are capable of high speed in even
rougher water than that of the Harlem.
Not long since the Standard left Sandy
Hook in company with the Monmouth,
admittedly the fastest steamer in New
York harbor, and In spite Of the chop In
the bay and the quartering seas from
