REpARTEE AMONG PARROTS

HALF the world knows that Lady Iveagh,
hostess and beauty, is possessed of some
of the most famous diamonds and pearls in
all England, but only her intimates seem to
know that she also owns several parrots.
This amounts to more than it may sound, for
the birds are of rare breed, of especially gor-
geous and heavy plumage, and are, moreover.
all of them conversationalsts. One will make
a remark, the next will answer. third may
contradict; but then there are fourth and
fifth, and one of these would almost certainly
settle the question. They even use some
French phrases, and their accent IS better
than is usually heard in Grosvenor Square or
Dublin Park.
One morning not long ago as their mistress
passed through the conservatory where they
are kept, one of the parrots squawked out:
Merry Christmas"
You silly bird!' replied Lady iveagh.
Its not Christmas"
And like a flash came the remark Sorry
/ spoke.

refuses persistently to become educated.
The trouble in teaching monkeys is
largely that they are mischievous. They
try to overdo Things, and do things which
are not wanted of them, so that in order
to make them perform as desired steady
| drilling is necessary, although they grasp
an idea quickly. The only two species
of animals which can be taught by pre-
cept and example are the chimpanzee
and the orang-utan. They are imitators,
and to instruct them in doing thing
| it is only necessary for the trainer to do
| it first himself, and then either one of
these will initiate him"
| once attended a bird show where the
trained Canaries were the most interest
ing feature of the entertainment. About
twenty of them, living in one cage, were
let out every hour, and standing in row
on the table would, at call from their
master, each answer to its name, and
perform many amusing tricks. After
walking a tight-rope, firing off toy
cannon, etc, some toy ponies were
brought out, and at the word of COM
mand each canary would mount one,
and they were then sent whisking round
an imaginary race-course at flying rate.
The little creatures seemed to enjoy
their ride, for the faster they went the
louder they sang. At the same time
| saw two tiny weaver-birds which
occupied one cage, and had been taught
to weave and tie the bits of string handed
them by the spectators in a most in
geniOus manner.
Signor Blitz was by no means the first
person to teach canaries to perform
tricks. In 1850 fourteen of these birds
were exhibited in London. They We're
taken from different cages and placed
upon table in the presence of the spec
tators; and there they formed themselves
into ranks like company of soldiers.
Small cones of paper bearing some
resemblance to grenadiers' caps were
put upon their heads, and diminutive
limitations of muskets made with wood
secured under their left wings.
Then they marched to and fro
several times; when a single bird was
brought forward, supposed to be de-
serter, and set between six of the mus
keteers, three in row, which conducted
it from the top to the bottom of the
table, on the middle of which a small
brass cannon charged with little gun
powder had previously been placed,
and the deserter was placed in the front
part of the cannon. Its guards then
divided, three retiring on one side and
three on the other, and it was left stand
ing by itself. Another bird was imme-
diately produced, and lighted match
being put into one of its claws, it hoped
boldly on the other end to the tail of the
cannon, and applying the match to the
printing, discharged the piece without
the least appearance of fear or agitation
The moment the explosion took place the
deserter fell down and lay apparently
motion1ess, like a dead bird; but at the
command of his tutor it rose again,
and the cages being brought, the feathered
soldiers were stripped of their ornaments
and returned into them in perfect order.

Amin al Teaching
By George Bancroft Griffith

animal teaching as S. Bissett humble
shoemaker who was born in Scotland
in I72I He afterward removed to Lon
don, where he married a woman who
brought him some property. Then, turn
ing broker, he accumulated money until
1850, when his attention was turned to
the training and teaching of animals, birds
and fishes. He was led to this new study
on reading an account of remarkable
horse shown at a fair at St.-Germain
Bissett bought horse and dog, and
succeeded beyond his expectations IN
teaching them to perform various teats.
He next purchased two monkeys. which
he taught to dance and tumble on rope;
and one would hold a candle in one paw
and turn the barrel-organ with the other,
while it's companion danced. He next
taught three cats to do many wonder
full things, to sit before muslc-books
and squall notes pitched to different
KEYS He advertised a Cats Opera
in the Haymarket, and successfully car
RED out his program, the cats accurately
fulfilling all their parts. He pocketed
some thousands by these performances.
He next taught a leveret, and then
of any person in the company and to
distinguish the hour of the day or night.
Six turkev-cocks were next rendered
amenable to a contra dance; and after
SIX months teaching he trained a turtle
to fetch and carry like dog, and having
chalked the floor and blaekensd his
claws, he made it trace out the name of
any given person in the company.
Another instance where the cat has been
pressed into the service of musical science
appears from the account given by Juan
Christoval, Spaniard, who speaks of a
procession which took place at Brussels
at the fetes in honor of Philip IL. The
orchestra, says Christova1, was upon
large car In the middle sat a great
bear, playing on a kind of organ-one
not composed of pipes, as usual, but of
twenty cats separately confined to mar
row cases, in which they could not stir.
Their tails protruded from the top and
were tied to cords attached to the key
board of the organ; and according as
the bear pricked upon the keys, the
cords were raised, and the tails of the
cats were pulled to make them NEW
In bass or treble tones, as required
by the nature of the airs" Monkeys
danced to this music, and other animals,
carefully taught, performed strange feats.
Although" continues the chronicler,
Philip II. was the most serious of NOR
tails, he could not refrain from laughing
boisterously."
The credit of the invention of pig
music belongs to the Able de Baigne,
great musician, who supplied the court
of Louis H. with many other curiosities
in this way. The ingenious Able was
one day asked by the King if he thought
it possible to produce musical sounds
from the cries of pigs. The Able thought
it was possible, and received a grant of
money from the monarch for that pur-
pose. With this he purchased number
of porkers OF different sizes and ages,
and after testing the pitch and quality
of their voices, secured them fast and
arranged them in order in a large tent
He further constructed a keyed instru-
ment, furnished with a number of wires,

PASSED FOOT BALL REGULATIONS
Beginning Next Year, In Order to Play
Football, student Must Have
Attended Two Terms.

Some time ago the athletic com.
mittee of the University faculty recom-
mended a new law to regulate the
government of athletics at the Uni.
verstty. The faculty, at the last meet
ing. voted favorably on the ruling
which, will go into effect next year.
The ruling Is us follows: Hereafter
no student shalt be allowed to repre-
sent the University of North Dakota on
the football gridiinn who have not at
sent the University of North Dakota
on the football gridiron who not at
tended school for at least two full
terms next preceding such time"
This rule will put u blight on the hopes
OF the enthusiasts for next year, as
nearly all of this years players will
not be able to return another year.
For instance II the rule had been in
existence IL year ago, the only material
available for the varsity team this
year would have been Bell. Brannon,
Davis. Conmy. Burtness and Netcher.
The men who are now occupying po-
sitions on the varsity who would have
been barred. are Oliver. Westergaard,
Brown. E. COnmy. Duggan and Griffin.
No doubt the regulation will have
made a good effect ON the clean athle-
tics side Of the question.

BAD SEASON FOR R0ADBEDs
Railroad Equipment In General Sui.
fers from Action of Cold-Wires
Break.

About this time OF the year, when
autumn is on the verge of winter, The
troubles of the railroad dispatcher and
other railroad officials begins. The
cold spells always have a bad effect
on the railroad equipment. Sudden
cold contracts the rails and also the
ties. making slight but irresistible
change, thus unsettling the roadbed
and making livery hard work to have
trains in on time. Next to washouts
these sudden spells are the hardest
things with which railroad men have
to contend.
But not only are the ties and rails
affected by the sudden cold spells.
Sudden frosts cause the telegraph
wires to contract too quickly and the
result is a breakage which takes sew
eral hours at the least to locate and
repair. The open season and absence
of frosts SO far this year has freed the
men from this work, but from now on
wire repairing will be very import
ant feature of railroad life. Without
wires trains cannot be sent out and
held and traffic on the roads Is neces-
sarily tied up. The only difficulty. so
far was when the first cold snap
struck. Several wires went down dur
ing the night, but the repair work was
rushed so that no serious damage was
done. The fall and spring are always
the difficult seasons in which to run
trains On this account.
