Must Not Drill.

St. Paul.-Gov. John A. johnson
may make an official investigation of
the movement, in so far as it relates
to Minnesota, among Cinnamon, who,
it is said, are being drilled and armed
for service in the Chinese army under
the direction of Hang Yu Wei, former
Chinese minister of war.
Complaints that Cinnamon are being
drilled in violation of law We're filed
with the governor by resident of St.
Paul, whose name is withheld. The
complainant says that Cinnamon are
being drilled in the large cities in the
United States by the former minister,
and the natural inference from the
complaint is that the movement is
backed by the Chinese emperor.

"PARsoN BIRD" Is CLEVER.
New Zealand songster That Can Be
Taught Much.

New Zealand songster That Can Be
Taught Much.
Among the feathered inhabitants of
New Zealand there is bird called The
parson bird, or tut" 1t is about the
size and shape of blackbird, but has
pair of delicate white tufts at it's
throat, and is a glossy dark green
otherwise, which looks black in the
sunlight. 1t can be taught to crow,
to speak, to whistle tunes, and besides
these tricks it has a repertoire which
is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. At vespers it has
a note like the-toll of a bell or the
clear high note of an organ. 1t can
mimic every bird in the bush to per-
lection; it will break on in the middle
of an exquisite melody and indulge in
strange medley of sounds which are
impossible to describe, but if you can
imagine ''the combination of a cough,
a laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing
Of a pane of glass;" it will be some
approach to the idea.
The tut nests twice or thrice year
and has large families. Like the other
birds of New Zealand it seems to be
unconscious of danger from man. 1t
is a pity that the birds of this island
are becoming so scarce, for they
speak to US of time when nature was
harmless, when the snakes, tigers and
falcons did not exist. 81,
