A Talking Lovebird.

A lovebird, no larger than a ca
nary, has taught itself to speak as
fueutly and as distinctly as the best
of talking parrots at the village OF
Ambleside. To q correspondent who
interview" it last night the bird
suddenly remarked, kiss me quick
giving an anticipatory smack. 1t po-
litely remarked, How do you do?"
and fLatteringly added, you're a
a. little beauty, aren't you?" all in a
soft tone that was quite distinct from
the raucous accents of the average
parrot. 1t melodiously whistled a
couple of bars Of the national anthem
and proceeded to give some very
realistic limitations of the calls OF
thrushes, sparrows and linnsts.-

A PRAYER.

As forth I fare Sin-conquering,
When I have found 1t,
Let me not lack for stone and sling
Till I have downed 1t,
Nor let mine ears with plaudits ring
Till l have bound 1t.
Teach me to go straight through a thing
And not around it:
Close to my lips Life's bugle bring
And let me sound it,
And lay my life down for my King
When>Love has crowned it.

The
General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and ef1cient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; laxative which physi.

because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why

An unusual view of the army has
lately been presented in a complaint
over the decrease in strength of the
coast artillery regiments. The Tenth
Company, for instance, which mustered
a hundred and one men in 1900, war
able to get out only fourteen in the
ranks In October. The explanation Of
fered is that the men in the coast artil-
lery receive training4n some branch Of
mechanics, and can get employment
outside at good wages. One officer in
structed his company in the art of tel
ephone repairing, and made the men
so efficient that the telephone company
in the neighboring city offered them
sixty and seventy dollars a month, and
in some cases bought the discharge of
the men, 10 that they might begin work
before their enlistment expired. If the
army can train its men as effectively
as this, 1t ought to be a pretty good
Nchool.

In a recent address at New York
City Francis q. Leupp, commissioner Of
indian affairs, took occasion to reply to
some of the criticisms that have been
made regarding the treatment Of the
Indians by his bureau. He outlined
the present policy of the government as
that of absorbing the Indian into the
white mans civilization, thus reversing
the old policy of assisting him in his
ardent desire Of keeping as separate
from the white man as he possibly
could. He expressed the opinion that
the final solution of the problem would
be reached by intermarriage. He de-
scribed the success Of the government
III making the Indian work; even the
Utes, he raid, were now working on the
railroads and helping to build up the
country Of which they were part. The
commissioner said it was true that
about 80 per cent of the Indians that
went to Indian schools, such as Car
Isle and others, and went back to the
reservations sooner or later reverted to
the blanket. But their children started
away ahead of where their parents did
SO that the schooling was by no means
wasted.
