A process has been discovered by

Self.Satisfied Parrots.

Parrots are very sensitive to praise,
and also have an excellent opinion of
themselves; and it is by playing on
these two feelings that they can be
taught such wonderful tricks. The
one thing they cannot bear is to re-

parrot into a passion of jealousy by
pretending not to hear it, and by
talking to another bird.

American girls, whether born or

public schools and colleges or in their
freedom from that condition of legal

gentler sex is doomed in older coun-
