PARROT SEEMED TO KNOW.

Almost Human.

Almost Human.
| have always been curious to know
whether parrot attaches any mean
ing to the words he utters. says 4 xoo-
philist. Naturalists tell me he doesn't,
but then they also declare that .
horse hair left in water doesn't turn
into snake, and everybody who has
ever been young on farm knows
they're entirely wrong about that. I
knew parrot once in a Mississippi
town. He was low-minded bird who
used swear words, but it seemed to me
that he knew the meaning Of what he
said. One day he sat on a chair on
the gallery, watching the antics of half
dozen pups. Somebody threw ball
to the pups.
PLAY BALI" screamed Polly.
The pups played till one of them ran
full tilt into china berry tree and
knocked himself over Polly laughed.
The pups instantly went for the bird.
They surrounded his chair and they
Invested him of his tail feathers.
could not help believing that Polly
laughed because the pups mishap
amused him. and l know the dogs
grinned as they robbed him of his
feathers. Also he swore at them with
what impressed me at the time as
human intelligence of the highest Or

Moose Head Of Immense Size.

What is probably the largest moose
head in the world belongs to John
Richardson of Glenwood Springs, Col.
The head measures seventy-two and
half inches from tip to tip, without
eny split or block. 1t is exactly as
nature made 1t and could be spread
several inches by various devices.
III its lifetime the bull weighed ap-
proximately 1900 pounds. the head
and artlers, mounted, weighing 275
pounds.
The animal was killed by Frank
Woods on Copper river, Alaska. after
long chase of several days over
mountains and through valleys. The
animal was the leader of large herd,
many of which were killed, but the big
bull moose was the object of the hunt
after he was spied by the party.

Has Seen Many Years, Service.

A quaint old piece of baggage in the
baggage room in S:owhegan, Me., this
week was a hair-covered trunk that
had come in from Guilford. On the
bottom of the trunk was the mark
"BxP," which signified that at some
period in its life 1t had gone by rail to
Boston. In early days there were no
checks, the destination OF pieae OF
baggage being designated by mark.

The Journal Of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION two years ago and several times
since called the special attention OF the
medical profession of the country to this
matter and much good has been accom-
pliShed in consequence. In an exhaustive
statistical table it proved the great preva-
lence of tetanus after Fourth of July cee-
bratfons due to the neglect of proper and
immediate treatment of the wound Physi-
their patients. AS result of such good
advice the deaths from lockjaw were re-
duced from nearly 500 the previous year
to 1871 during the, last twelvemonth.
This authoritative medical periodical very
properly states that It is virtually 1mpoS-
sible to treat even the ordinary wounds
properly except by expert surgical means
The character Of the injury is such that
thorough cleansing Is otherwise impossible
Not only this, but the surgeon called to a
case is advised to lose no time in injecting
against any future complications In the
face of all these arguments against the
Fourth of July enjoyment of the prospective
victim, 1t may be profitable for the trusting
pater famflias to contemplate his chances
of doing his part properly and dutifully in
the emergency. The safest of all perhaps
would be to have a surgeon in waiting in
each celebrating household. The only hope
however, for the poorer man Is the hospital
ward that has so omineusiy and so oppor-
timely made every preparation to receive
what pity 1t is that the hundreds of boys
now strong in health and sound of limb
will need such service In spite of protest
entreaty and warning to the contrary. 1t
Is always too late when ne say IF 1t only
had not happened"

The injunctionS are asked for on the
ground that the defendants have violated

from concerns involved In the strike. This
ordinance provides that licensed expressmen
shall be required to deliver loads to any

COURT GIVES DECISION.
Long-Pending Controversy Over Affairs
of LeDroit Park Syndicate.

Justice Stafford. in the equity branch Of
the Supreme Court today. rendered decree
in the case of Charles W. Richardson and
other complainants in what is known as
the Hensey Hooker LeDroit Park Land
Syndicate against Thomas q. Hensey. Mel
len c. Hooker and Melville ID. Hensey. The
cause has been pending nearly two years
and by the terms of the decree Thomas G..
Hensey and Mellen c. Hooker removed
from the office of trustees under the deed
in trust from Melville d. Hensey. whereby
the syndicate acquired its property. which
is located at Sd and Florida avenue.
The court appointed as trustees in their
stead Charles H. Merllat and Edward FL.
Thomas, upon their giving bond in the
sum of $4,000. The defendant trustees
were required forthwith to surrender all
books. accounts and papers in their pos
session to the new trustees. The bill al
legged that the three defendants named
had organized the syndicate on a basis
of S1JO.0n0 stating to those they induced
to join that that WAS the ground floor
price and the sum which Mrs. Amanda
Dean, who owned the property at the
time of its purchase in January, 1893.
would receive for the same, whereas the
actual price she was paid was below
$4,000
The bill asked that the three defendants
be compelled to account to the members of
Inc syndicate for the difference between
the actual price and the price at which
they put the land to their co-syndicate
members.
The court by its decree finds that the
actual price paid was one hundred and
eighteen thousand eight hundred dollars.

TETANUS CARNIVAL.
Season of Fourth of July Accidents and
Lockjaw at Hand.
rom the New York Herald.


Accidents with toy pistol. torpedo. fire.
cracker and the like are already In evil
dence with the small boy. impatient for
his usual so-called fun on the Fourth Of
July The indulgent parent glances over
the list of casualties, but dismisses the
subject from his mind until, alas. the ca
lamity Is brought home to him in the
manning or death of one more of the
children of his family. Fully four thousand
accidents yearly are due to Fourth Of July
celebrations. In 1903 there were 497 deaths
of which 1886 were ehargeable to the use Of
blank cartridges In the toy pistol.
The great danger in these cases is an
attack of tetanus, even after the infliction
of apparently trivial injuries. In most Of
the instances the deaths occur SO long after
the accidents that the relations OF cause
and effect are not sufficiently emphasized
The hand which Is most frequently Injured
Is one of the most favorable culture beds
of the virulent lockjaw bacillus. The dirt.
microbe have a special and recognizable
affinity for the youn sster BY explosions
the tetanus germ is blown widecast in the
deep and toughened tissues Of the fingers
and palm. There 1t multiplies, at first To-
caily. ultimately attacks the nervous CEN
ters. and gives rise to the well-known
symptoms of muscular spasms, general con-
vulsions and the other agoniZing phenome-
ma that end in death.
The yearly prevalence OF Fourth of July
tetanus Is a well-attested statistical fact.
The Herald and the press generally have
from time to time discussed the relations
OF cause and effect and have urged the
abolition of all such explosive materials
as are accountable for the mischief. The
result has been shown In the adoption Of
ordinances in all the larger cities forbid
ding the promiscuous sale of the dangerous
toy pistol, the giant hrecracker. the treach-
erous Roman candle and the erratic rocket.
The efforts OF Commissioner McAdoo In
enforcing the law IL this city deserve the
hearty cooperation OF the public. as they
will most certainly tend to prevent many
accidents that might otherwise be un-
avoidable. Next to the unlikely possibility
of absolutely controlling the enthusiastic
and thoughtless youngster Ii the makesnift
of a proper and timely treatment OF ms
wounds The neglect OF this latter partfcu-
lar is the explanation for the tetanus that
