The Champion Parrat.

A woman in a London fathouse was accused of singing hymns to her par rots for the benefit of their souls. This recalls to the London Chronicle the most accomplished parrot in history. It belonged to Colonel Dennis O'Kelly and was famed for its whistling of the One Hundred and Fourth Psalm. When the colonel died in 17S7 a large propor- ton of his obituary notice in the Gen tleman's Magazine was devoted to this remarkable bird. which got another considerable notice of it's own when it died fifteen years later in Half Moon street. Piccadilly. This parrot could also whistle God Save the King and '"The Banks of the Dee" and would go back and correct itself if 1t got a note wrong. It could even answer ques- tions. and its master was said to have refused 500 guineas a year to show it in public.

P00Y RinRn.

When posies inside wedding rings were first introduced does not seem to be known. Time has covered that, as he does so many, things, with the moss es of oblivion. but we know that from the sixteenth century until the middle of the eighteenth 1t was customary to have them engraved on rings. These posies or notices are seldom to be found with more than two lines of verse and often with only one, but there are few instances knownswhere three lines are used. Some of these po- sies are very quaint and curious, and a few reach high standard of poetic beauty. In 1642 a small collection of rhymes was published with the title of Loves Garland; or, Posies For Rings. Handkerchiefs and Gloves and Such Pretty Tokens That Lovers Send Their Loves." It contains some posies that are not to be met with elsewhere and is very interesting work. though but few people seem to have heard of it. The South Kensington museum has a good collection of posy rings, and among them we find the following: United hearts, death only parts;" 'Let us share in joy and care." Love and live happily" There is a story to the effect that pr. John Thomas. who was bishop of Lincoln in 1753. caused to be inscribed inside his fourth wife's wedding ring:
 If I survive,

Lost . Railroad.

"A champagne dinner once cost St
 Joseph, Mo-, the Union Pacific rail- road,'' said an old railroad official. ''The Union Pacific aid bill was up for consideration in congress in the early sixties. It fixed St. Joseph as the eastern terminus of the road. While the bill was under consideration a ban Quet was held at St Joseph. It was attended by many of the leading men of the town. After they had filled up on champagne a question arose as to which flag should float from the city hall. The Confederate flag was finally decided on. and in the morning the stars and stripes were hauled down and the stars and bars hoisted. The news reached Washington that very day, while the Union Pacific bill was still under consideration. Senator Pomeroy moved that the name St. Jo- seph. Mo-. be stricken from the bill and Omaha. Neb, be substituted. The

Ant. XIII a RattIer

A h1nter tells an interesting story of the way in which a colony of red ants put to death a rattlesnake which dared to disturb their abode. He was out hunting when he saw the rattle1 and started to put a load of shot into the reptile when he noticed that it was headed straight for an ant hill of un- usual size and waited to watch the proceedings. It had hardly got half way across the mound when a big red ant hastened to the attack and sank his nippers into the snakes body Tn less than two minutes he was joined by the whole colony. which practically covered the whole body of the rattler. each one sinking it's scissors-like blades into the intruder's body. The snake began to thrash and squirm, but the ants held on like bulldogs. The rat tiers fury grew so great that he sank his fanSs into his own body, then strengthened out after a few more convulsive efforts to get away and was dead in less than ten minutes after the first ant had mounted his body.-Kan sas City Journal

The Truce of God.

One of the most curious of the many queer mediaeval customs was that known as ''the truce of God" From what we have been able to learn of it the custom appears to have originated as an outgrowth of a desire to protect the common people to some extent at least against the lawless tyranny of the feudal lords of the middle ages. It was first decreed at a church synod which convened at Roussillon in the year 1927. By this decree it was pro- vided that no man should attack his enemy between Saturday evening at nones and Monday morning at the hour of prime. About the year 1O32 a similar compact was. entered into be- tween the church and the barons of England. The church forbade barons to make any attack upon each other between sunset on Wednesday night and sunrise on the following Monday or upon any feast or fast day. The same truce made provision that no man should be disturbed while labor ing at his trade or while going to or from place of worship.

SULTAN ABDUL HAMID IS SAID
 TO BE DYING
THOUGHT THAT. AGED TURKISH RULER CANNOT LONG SUR
 WYE SECRECY RE-
GARDING ILLNESS.

(Special from United Press.)
 Constantinople. Mar. 19.-Abdul Ha- mid, the sick man of Europe" is in his last illness according to the opin- ion of some of the most skilled physl- clans of Europe. After an exhaus- tive investigation by a staff correspon- dent designed to confirm or disprove the rumorS long in circulation, the United Press is to-day in a position to state authoritativeiy. that the aged Sultan is in a precariouS condition, and although he still makes brave show in an effort to set at rest the rumors regarding his serious condition, s death is regarded as certainty or the very near future.
 So serious has the tottering mon- arch's condition become from neuras- thenia and insomnia, that his appear anceS have been limited to occasions of the most vital importance. It now develops that the recent public appear ances or the Sultan were made against the express orders of his physicians and were due to the Sultan'S desire to create a popular impression that he is carry out the deception it was said he resorted to, powerful stimulants to carry him through the ordeals.
 Contrary to reports of Abdul Hamid' $ deposition no such procedure is in tended. q The political leaders credited with seeking to bring it about are the ones most anxious for a continuatio of the present regime. Owing to his record as a diplomat and his present physical weakness, Abdul Hamid is re- garded by the Young Turks ~as their best guarantee of revolutionary re- gime which might possibly be brought about by a younger ruler.
 = It is generally known that Abdul Hamid is in terror of his life and real izes that any move on his part, design ed to abolish the new constitution, would be certain to result in his death. The real crisis in the Turkish situation to-day lies in the bitterness of the feel ing between the rival parties, the Lib erals who favor strong constitution al government and who are not averse to employing any capable official of the old regime, and the Young Turks who insist on a government so Liberal as to be almost anarchistic and who favor the political extinction of every one connected with the old administra- tiON.

This is the time OF the year when
the opposition press always begins to
howl about Salt Lake City's municipal
overdraft- Accordingly. the chorus has
been sounded, and the public is RECALLED
with doloful walls about the sad coudi-
tion of the city's finances And We are
reminded anew that Salt Lake City

incoming Of the years taxes.
That there is nothing unusual about
this, and that Salt Lake City shares
this condition with the county and with

them about the overdraft for the coun

since all alike arc deficient in funds
