Schooling the Parrot.

Under the family's tutelage chatter
ing seemed about all that the parrot
was capable OF, SO an expert in the
teaching of parrots was called in. The
fffst thing the expert did was to
feed him. Presently the bird blinked
drowsily and the lesson began. The
bird appeared to profit by his in
struction, but his owner was not salts
fed.
Il am afraid you have a harmful
influence over him." said she. He
gets so dopey after you have been
here a few minutes"
THAT is because he has been doped
a little said the expert. Il mix a
light sleeping potion with his food.
lie doesn't get enough to put him to
sleep, but it makes him drowsy. All
parrots learn better just before they
go TO sleep. If you can catch them
on the edge of natural sleep you get
better results, but this fellow is so
lively that doping won't hurt him and
he will learn more in a month that
way than in a year of Hopping around"

His Life Enriched the World.

Happy is the man who knows how
to enjoy his leisure in a way to allie
viate the cares of life. Such a man,
says the Springfield Republican, was
DR.. Matthias Cook. a physician of
Utica, N. Y, who recently died at
the age of 70 years. He was a lead.
ing member of the Oneida County
Medical society, but beyond his pro-
fessional work did other things well
He a we'll known as a singer. lie
had a famous flower garden. He made
an chronological collection OF over
1000 specimens, which he gave 10
the Utica Free academy. He became
known through the world as a raiser
of high-bred pigeons. He had a rep
utation for microscopieal studies. lie
gathered a collection of postage
stamps, which he finally sold for
$4,000. Besides all these things. no
physician in Utica did more charitable
work than DR. Cook He would seem
to have been as we'll entitled TO be
called an 'all-round man" as anybody.

ROYALTY ON ITS TRAVELS
Good Stories Told by Senator Depew
Of the Dolnps of Potentates
OF Hawaii.

Senator Depew of New York. IA.
nous as an after-dinner speaker. told
two good stories In the senate while
he was speaking on a bill to regulate
the government of Hawaii. He said,
In reviewing the history of the islands.
that the king and queen of the islands,
once came to America and then went
TO Europe.
An incident of this trip said the
senator. was one of the rare con-
tributions to the ssedate movement of.
history, which promotes good fellow
ship by adding to the gaity of nations.
Chicago received the king with inn
pressive ceremonies on his arrival.
After a weary day of parades and re-
views the then mayor of the metropo-
lis of the west found a king on his
hands. Kings were not in his line,
nor was he familiar with their attri-
butes, the customs of court or the
methods of addressing them. To re-
lieve himself of embarrassment he
drove his majesty to the leading hotel,
and, leaving him in the lobby, said;
Good afternoon, king; we have had
a hard day. and | think you had better
go up to your room and wash up.
when their majesties arrived in
London they were entertained by
royalty and were guests at Windsor
continued the senator. There was a
current story at the time" he said,
that at the dinner the Hawaiian
queen said to Queen Victoria: Your
majesty, | am a blood relative To
the astonished inquiry, How so? the
Hawaiian queen answered. My grand
father ate Capt. Cook"

He Was Prepared,

Blanche Ring, the actress, is always
preaching caution-whether she prac-
tices it or not is, as Kipling says, an
other story. "If everyone was only as
cautious as a man ! nee knew" she
said the other night, nobody would
ever go broke. He called at the
money-order window of the local post
office and asked permission to send an
order for 500 to the old country

EDUCATOR TOO POORLY PAID
Telling Point Made by President Of
Brown University in a Re-
cent Speech.

President Faunce, of Brown univer-
sity, at a dinner of the alumni of that
institution the other day, spoke SYM
ipathetically of the work of the college
professor, whose real business, he de-
!clared to be mot to stuff the Students
mind with information, but to train
the intellect to grapple with and ma
flyze complex situations"
That this important business is i'll
paid he illustrated by telling of a
question and its answer.
IF you won't take %offense," said a
rich man to a college professor, what
salary do you receiver"
Twelve hundred dollars" was the
reply.
why replied the rich man, that
is just what | pay my chauffeur, ex-
cept that when take him out of town
l pay all his expenses"
Then DR.. Faunce asked his audi
ence: Can We afford to pay our chauf-
feurs as much as we pay the men who
educate u sons?"
1t was a pertinent question, telling
ly put. Which should have the great
er reward, the man who drives an au-
tomobile or the man who trains the
intellect for the tasks of life?

Unkind Reminder.

The dialogue between President
Taft and the Chicago newspaper men.
in which he spoke feelingly of the
time when Cincinnati considered her
self a rival of Chicago as to popula-
ton, and his home city's having re-
duced her Drag now to & only,
reminded a former resident of Gin
cinnati of this story: Some years
ago a number of commercial travellers
met after business hours in the lobby
of a big hotel in Chicago and the va
rious cities which they 'drummed'
were the topic of conversation. The
travellers were nearly all New York
ers and the vulnerable points of the
various cities were attacked. A Gin
cinnati whisky salesman In the crowd
took up the cudgel for his city, and
among other things in it's favor spoke
of it's beautiful suburbs, its good beer,
its fondness for music. its educational
institutions and its patronage of the
fine arts. There's one thing you
haven't mentioned said a st. Louis
man. Cincinnati isn't as dirty as
Pittsburg.''

An Amateur Of Wives.

Luther Burbank. at the cactus din
ner that he recently gave in Santa
Rosa, said:
"As we all see, the fruit of the cac-
tus Is not bad, Some people, though,
would turn from cactus with horror.
Tastes differ. One man. such a man
as myself, for instance, finding a sin.
gle wife too many, remains unmarried.
Another man, like Cetewayo, finds a
thousand wives scarcely enough.
when Wolseley conquered Cete-
wayo, he took nearly all his wives
away from him. believe he left the
monarch only a h%alf-dozen or there
abouts.
"Cetewayo, day after day. sent pite.
Il messages to Wolseley, pleading
for the rest of his wives, but the Brit.
ish soldier refused sternly.
when Wolseley came to leave the
country, Cetewayo. in desperation,
sent this message to him:
"'If you will not send me any more
wives, will you not, at least. be enough
of a gentleman to exchange the six |
have for six others?'"

To Ward Of Old Aue.

without advancing the hope of
lengthening the span of life by the
sour-milk diet of Prof. M%etchnikoff or
any other plan, DR.. Doyen of Paris be-
lieves senile decay may be retarded
and the body kept in healthful activity
throughout the natural period. To
preserve vitality he invokes the aid
Of ferments to increase the white cor
puscles in the blood, which are known
TO work so effectively against para
site germs. He has named his ener-
gizer "mycolysine,' and he states that
it powerfully stimulates the white cor
puscles, thus not only l~essening the
inactivity OF the old-age period. but
giving resistance to various digestive
and respiratory maladies. ae claims
mat it acts against colds, bronchitis
and even epidemic diseases.

Deaf Hear at TeIephone.

Among the many curiosities of the
telephone and one which certainly
neye was thought of when the instru-
ment was invented, is the fact that
persons who are extremely deaf oft
aen can hear perfectly over the tele-
phone. Those who are so leaf that
they can distinguish nothing which
is said to them except by the motion
of the lips or by the use of an ear
trumpet or other similar device can

%yersations with perfect ease and nev-

"DoWn and Out"

No better exposition of the cold.

hand at president-making, says the
New York Post.
A MAI who called to see him in his
little Eleventh ST. eel fiat about a year

me that sour, sweet, bitter, alkali and
salt are the only taste sensations, and
the other things | eat enjoy from

afraid of eating. | didn't know my

PHOTOGRAPHIC Detective.

test the alleged power of a young
woman 10 tell the contents of I'M
opened boxes. The committee, ap.
pointed by the organization to make
the test, took a Photographic plate
and exposed it in a camera as if for
an ordinary picture. Then the plate
was cut in two, and one-half of it,,
carefully protected from the light,
was enclosed with other objects in a
sealed box. After the young woman
had described the contents of the box
the committee developed the two
halves of the plate. That which was
in the box was logged" showing
that it had been exposed to light,
while the other half developed a per-
fectly clear picture.

DEFECTS OF THE EYESlGHT
Curious Connection Between the Or.
gans of Vision mi the Teeth
Has Been Proved.

Many eye defects. OF course. are due
TO the bad habits of their nossessors.
Tobacco, for instance. is generally
held to impair their vision. usually in
Juring the color sense so that gold and
silver become indistinguishable Ae-
cording TO some medical authorities,
again. the connection between eye
and tooth trouble is more than an old
wife's fable. In his book dealing with
the subject. Hancock relates the story
OF n boy who woke up one morning to
find himself blind. On examination.
his teeth were discovered to be
crowded together. and a few of them
were removed, with the result that by
evening be could distinguish between
light and darkness. More teeth we're
removed. and in IL days his sight was
fully restored. Other cases which
e to show the connection between
eye and tooth trouble have also been
noted. Very frequently occupation has
much to do with II or other eye de-
feet. Thus. nystagmus is sometimes
known as the miners disease.
Nystagmus is an involuntary oscilla-
tion of the eyeball to and fro or round
in its orbit. In contradistinction to
%elaucoma. 1t is a young defect. having
been noticed in infants, but some
times 1t attacks miners after 40.
Miners are inclined to attribute the
failing to the bad light, but ii Is more
likely to be caused by the continual
upward glance so often necessitated
by their occupation.

Recovery of Lost Standards.

A curious experiment a nee
made to determine whether a lost
standard could be recovered by purely
personal efforts. The assumption was
made that the standard OF length was
lost. One hundred operatives and 9th
ers accustomed to dealing with meas
urements were asked to give by esti-
mate their ideas of what the given
standard was-in other words. to
guess at length of the meter. 1t was
found that the guesses were most ac-
curate for lengths of about six inches
that small lengths were u%nderesti-
mated and larger mes We're oyeresti-
mated. Taking the average of the
100 subjects the result varied but a
few one thousandths from the truth.
