With the gold and silver certificates and national bank notes that are ost burned up devoured by rats, goats and dogs and sunk in seas, rivers and ponds in the pockets of their unfortunate possessors, 1t is likely that several millions of dollars of government liabilities disappear every year.

An InsuItinn Parrot.

Bayard Taylor related the following
about a parrot once owned by a lady
In Chicago:
When the great fire was raging an
owner saw that she could rescue moth
ing except what she instantly took in
her hands. There were two objects
equally dear. the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After a moment Of hesitation she
seized the Bible and was fastening
away when the parrot cried out in a
loud and solemn voice. Good Lord,
deliver usw No human being could
have been deaf TO such an appeal. The
precious Bible was sacrificed and the
bird saved. he was otherwise clever
bird. In the house to which the parrot
was taken there was. among other
visitors, a gentleman rather noted for
volubility. When the parrot first heard
him it listened in silence for some
time; then, to the amazement Of all
present, 1t said very emphatically,
"You talk too much"
The gentleman. at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. Thereupon the parrot laid his
head upon one side, gave an indescrib-
ably comical and contemptuous "H'mr'
and added, There he goes againP

Dublin eoosbIaeks. 1880.


Among the populace Of Dublin in
17S0 the shoeblacks were a numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were rot
ten In the markets. Their implements
consisted Of a three legged stool, bas-
ket containing a blunt knife called a
spud, q painters brush and an old
wig. A gentleman usually went out in
the morning with dirty boots or shoes.
sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner Of the street The
gentleman put his foot in the lap Of the
shoeblack without ceremony, and the
artist scraped It with his spud, wiped
it with his wig and then laid on his
COMPOSITION as thick as black paint
with his painters brush. The stuff
dried with a rich polish, requiring no
friction and little inferior to the elab-
grated modern fluids, save only the In
tolerable odors exhaled from eggs IN a
high state OF putridity, which filed
any house which was entered before
the composition was quite dry and
sometimes even tainted the air Of fash
ionable drawing rooms. Polishing shoes,
we should mention. was at this time a
refinement almost confined to cities,
people in the country using grease.

an old painter named william McCul-
Tough while painting the bridge above
the falls between the first and second
Sister islands fell into the rapids. In
stantly he was swept furiously toward
the cataract. but whirled into lesser
waves, so that he struck against and
seized a rock not far above the brink
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched, all eager to help,
but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Conroy. who secured a
coil Of rope. fastened one end to a
tree on shore and With the other end
In his hand waded out as far as he
could and occasionally swan. the wa
ter being from eighteen inches to six
feet deep. He aimed far up stream to
allow for the power of the current and
at last with great difficulty reached the
unfortunate painter and bound him to
himself with the rope. They were
swept of their feet several times on
the way back to shore. but the rope
had been firmly fastened, and they
finally landed safely. When they
reached shore it was found that Nc
Cullough still clutched his putty knife
firmly in his hand, having held it dur
ing the three hours he had been on the
brink of the falls.

TRY TO SETTLE
RETTEW CLAIM
Offer o $4,000 Cash and
Collection of Taxes Made
Informally

George A. Elliott. one Of the bondsmen
o. Horace G. Rettew. defauitinE collector
Of delinquent county taxes. conferred in.
formally with members OF the Levy
Court and william G. Jones' attorney Tor
the court. this morning, but made no
definite proposition for settling the clam
of the Levy Court Of $4,000 against fhe
Rettew sureties. II is not unlikely that
this afternoon or in the very near future
a proposition VIII be made by the bonds
mer to compromise by the bondsmen pay
ms the Levy Court $4,000 in cash and also
giving the county the right TO collect de-
hnquent taxes that are on Rettew's liEt
as unsettled for.
Such proposition was made informally
70 the Levy Courtmen this morning No
action has been taken by that body on
the matter, but Il will likely be talked
over In private. There is a disposition oh
part Of some to settle on this basis. The
liettew shortage to the county Is S2S. COO
II being the amount Rettew collected and
did not turn into the county treasury.
While the bondsmen are willing TO settle
the litigation by compromise out OF
court they do not admit their liability
which is one Of the questions involved IN
the proceedings in Chancery in which the
bondsmen seek an injunction to RESTRAIN
the Levy Court from collecting on the
bona on the ground that the liability OF
the sureties ceased when the Legislator,
passed special act designating Rettew
as collector OF delinquent taxes. The Lev,
Court sometime ago rejected a propostio
OF the bondsmen TO compromise on sl2 2s,n
or the S2S.000 collected and not paid
over Il was ascertained from the books
that over $4,000 was collected aftel
the passage Of the special act of Aprl
3, 1905. under which Rettew acted Id.
term OF Office for which the suraties
elalm they gave bond having termi.
mated on January 1. 1905.
The sureties claim that they are moi
liable for the amount collected under
the special act of April g. 1905. anc
misapplied. Rettew did .sot give any
new bond when he collected under tn,
authority Of the special act, but tn,
Levy Court claims thet the sureties N
liable on the old bond given at the bs-
ginning OF his term OF Office as re.
ceiver Of taxes, January /, 1901.
II the case goes TO hearing in chan.
cery 1t Is likely TO be in the courts foi
years, and one that will involve inter.
esting points Of law.
Some Of the sureties. who are mer
engaged in business. are greatly an
noyed. and will be during the continu
ance Of the suit by having so large
Judgment staNyng over them. To pa,
the amount cFfmed by the Levy Cour
would take the entire property of SOM
Of the sureties The Levy Court cal
afford TO wait, but II is out OF tn
money during all the time. and has &
face the uncertainties OF the decision
OF the court as to the liability Of tn
sureties under the act of April 3, 1905.

r A TRYING LANGUAGE.
The Study Of Japanese Is Surrounded
by Difficulties.

Japanese is not an easy language
even for the native born subject OF the
mikado, but it, is very difficult of ac
quirement by the westerner. Give Hol-
land In his book, "Old and New ia.
pan," does not give foreigners any
encouragement that they viii ever be
able really to learn the language. 1t
takes a Japanese child seven years. II
is said, to learn the essential parts of
the japanese alphabet To use a Japa-
nese dictionary, Mr.. Holland says, one
must be familiar with no fewer than
PA signs, which may be said to serve
the same purpose as initial letters in
American dictionaries. Then after one
has tracked down in one OF these 214
signs some part Of the character for
which he is about to undertake an ex-
ploration he still has a veritable north
pole hunt ahSad Of him.
The pompous first personal pronoun
is avoided whenever it is possible in
speaking Japanese. IL it must be used
it is introduced casually, but generally
the abstract noun "selfshness" serves
in it's stead. For example, a japanese
would not say Il don't drink wine"
but "Wine don't drink" or, If this is
not clear enough, "Selhshness wine
don't drink" Reference to ones own
possessions must be depreciatory. Thus
If a man wishes to point out his own
residence he says, THAT miserable
house." which, of course, could refer
to no other than his own. On the 9TH
or hand, ''That beautiful house" would
easily identify the house as belonging to
some one else.
Moreover, any one who wishes 70
learn Japanese must be prepared to
learn two languages, the written and
the spoken. The one differs so ma
terially from the other that If a Japa-
nese is reading a book or newspaper
and wishes to do so aloud it becomes
necessary for him to translate the
written words into the colloquial. To
be able to read any Of the higher class
Japanese newspapers, Mr.. Holland
says, it is necessary to master at least
from $500 to 5000 ideographs.
