RIVAL OF THE PARROT.
Bird of China That Learns More Rap
idly and Initiates More
Cleverly.

In the house of the consul in Bang
kok is a bird that keeps up an inces-
SAINT chatter that might almost be
dubbed conversation so clever is it..
The voice of this bird is very much
like human voice. far more so than
the parrot. The bird is called the
Mineur or Mino 1t learns much more
readily than the parrot and is as clever
at initiating as the American hooking
bird. 1t whistles in exact imitation of
its master and sings whole songs
through without making mistake
When it was first purchased it could
only talk in Siamese, but in a short
while picked up many sentences of
English.
The master of this cunning songster
always summons his servants to him
by calling boy" The mineur learned
to do the same thing, with the result
that the servant was sent on a FOOLS
errand many times. None could tell
whether the master called boy" or
the mineur. This greatly annoyed the
servant, whose owner told him that
he need not come unless he heard the
call boy, boy" repeated twice. In
three days time the mineur had
learned this trick and was doing the
same thing. Then it was arranged
that the master should strike on the
table or clap his hands as they do in
Turkey or Siam. This was too much
for the mineur, who found that his
fun was over.

LEAN-TO OF COTHAMITES.
New Workers Bound to Prop Against
Something When They Stop
in the Street to Talk.

Il wonder" said the man from Min
nesota, why so many New York people
have the lean-to habit? 1t makes them
look very queer. When in motion their
bodies lean backward or forward or
sideways like an animated inclined
plane, and when they are in repose they
fop still worse.
mo matter where you stop to talk to
a New York man, he is bound to lean
against something. In stores he leans
against counters, in saloons he braces
himself up against the bar, in hotels the
pillars and chairs contribute to his sup
port, in restaurants he leans on the ia
BILE, and in the street against the walls
OF projecting buildings. And the wom-
en- are just as bad as the men. Nobody
seems to have spunk enough to stand up
straight
Perhaps the people here are tired, or
it may be that they are seeking a grace
full pose. At any rate, they flop on all
occasions. The proprietors of some of
the shops evidently deprecate the uni
versal tendency to lean against some
thing, and wish to discourage 1t, for
they have distributed signs about the
stores warning customers not to lean
on the counters, but, so far as | can see,
these notices are only blum. At any
rate, New Workers don't heed them;
they Keep on leaning just the same"

WONDERFUL PLAYING
BY Madam Pupln Upon Concert
Grand With Six keyboards.
A Remarkable instrument.

In the new recital hall at Klein &
Heffelman's store Friday night Madam
A. Pupin, famous musician, gave
upon concert grand piano with six
rows of keys, with % octaves, mu-
steal treat rarely afforded to Can
tonians, in which remarkable shading
and great technic was displayed.
Madam Pupin has played with Theo-
dore Thomas's orchestra. The key
board was invented by Janko, and in
1891 he first gave concerts on it. 1t is
of great interest to musicians and is
worthy of their investigation. 1t is
not being manufactured and one can
not be purchased anywhere. The in
strument used in the concert Friday
night is a fine specimen of a concert
grand piano and is the personal prop
erty of Madam Pupin. 1t presents
possibilities that cannot be accom-
plished on the keyboard today Madam
Pupin is the only musician in the Uni
ted States that plays it.
Preceding the program on the con,
cert grand Madam Pupin rendered
three numbers upon a clavier, a piano
over 100 years old The numbers
rendered were composed by artists
at the time that the instrument was
built, contrast followed by the play
ing of a program upon the most mod
ern concert grand piano.
The next to the last number of the
program, "Etude No. Ii, Romance in
Arpeggios," by Chopin, was one that
Paderewsh practiced upon for two
years before he attempted to play it
it in public. This number was played
by Madam Pupin with perfect ease
and accuracy.

FEAR JONES LAW
Liquor Interests Planning to Save the
Lake District from Going Dry.

The saloon interests are at work
in Columbus making dry districts
through the Jones law, but so arrang-
ed that it really protects the local
ity where the saloons are located.
This was the plan followed in this
city by the saloon interests with the
Brannock law, and there is not a
Brannock district in the city that has
not been arranged by the saloon in
terestS themselves.
Just now the greatest concern of
the liquor interests is to have Sun
day selling privileges at the lake. The
township went wet" one year ago,
and the saloons are safe for one year
After one year from this time there
can be petitions circulated in the dis
trict lying between the city and the
township line and north of the Mas
sillon road. In this district the major
ity would be for prohibiting the sale
1t is said that the rental of the Amer
ican Village" grounds at the lake Is
$2500 per year. Near the ball park
another saloon grinds out great prof
it's on Sundays, while the gambling
games bring in big rentals to the own
ers of the grounds. 1t is estimated
that unless they can prevent the dis
trict from going dry that the loss of
profits to the various interests at the
lake will not be less than $4,000 per
year.
