WHY PARROT LOST ITS HOME
Birds Love Chatter Is Obnoxious
After Senator Quay's Daughter and
Husband Separate.

Pittsburg, Pam old parrot which
has been in the family Of the late
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, at his
Beaver home. has been sold for curl
BUS reason. Before Lewis Davidson Of
Beaver won Miss Mae Quay, daugh-
ter Of the senator, her sister had
taught the bird to say "Goodby, Lou"
followed by smack sounds like those
If kissing. The bird was good talk
sr and as Miss Quay would sing out
'Goodby, Loul" as her sweetheart was
leaving, the parrot would mimic
her.
II was all right, even II the neigh
bors did hear 1t, for a time, but a year
Dr. more after the marriage Of Miss
Quay and MI Davidson they sepa'
rated. After that the parrot con-
stantly harped on "Goodby, Lou!
Smack, Smack"
The neighbors heard 1t, Of course.
and the street in front OF the Quay
home became quite boulevard, all be-
cause of the curious persons who wish
ID to hear the parrot. Finally the bird
became SO hateful to Mrs. Davidson
that she wanted to sell it. The other
members OF the family objected. as
he bird had been favorite Of the SEN
ator. but finally Mrs. Davidson prevail
ed and the bird was sold.

Horse Defends Master.

Lieut.. Robinson, an English oficer
in the Royal engineers, has a horse
which he thinks ought to receive the
Victorian cross for gallantry in action.
Lieut.. Robinson was leading a party
in Afghanistan, when they were sud
denly attacked by a band of Ghazis.
The fighting was furious for a few min.
utes, and during the height of the bat
tie the lieutenant was speared by a
young Ghazi and brought to the
ground. The warrior came up to fin
fish him, when the faithful horse turn
ed his heels and dashed out at the
Ghazi every time he approached the
wounded man. This defense he main.
tined until help arrived and the assail
ants fed. AS the horse is not vicious.
the lieutenant is firm in his belief that
the horse knew his master was In dan.

The impossible.

THE late Admiral Read" said a
Washington naval officer. lowed his
great success to ais ingenuity. He
would, in fact, undertake and carry
through the impossible.
Admiral Read, at the naval banquet,
was once talking to some young Of
ficers about the strength and beauty
of the arch. He took an egg from
a basket, and holding it aloft. he
said:
Notice this eggs arch. Nothing
could be prettier. Nothing, If you
set it right, could be stronger. Why,
gentlemen, can set this egg on the
floor in such a manner that you could
mt break it with a half bushel meas
ure'
THE young officers demurred. A
stout, iron-bound, half-bushel measure
was brought in. The admiral at
once showed his almost inhuman in
genuity by placing the egg in a cor
ner where the measure couldn't
reach 1t.
"'You can't fill a square corner with
a round measure, said the young Off
GERS, graciously acknowledging their
defeat"

To Stop Cough In Church.

Every woman has experienced the
modification of one of those exasper-
ating, hacking little coughs which
tickle the throat and seem to grow
worse the more one tries to overcome
them.
They always come upon one Just
at time when the kindly cough drop
has been left at home and 1t is i'm
possible to procure the saving sip OF
water.
Many a woman has hastily left her
seat in a church with a red face and
the echo of hacking little cough fol-
lowing her down the aisle and into
the vestibule, when the trouble
might have been conquered in a very
simple way.
A cough drop is not at all essential
to the stopping of a tickling cough.
A bit of paper, torn from the corner
Of a hymn book leaf or an available
pamphlet or leafet, will answer quite
as well as the bit of hoarhound or
licorice, for the action of the throat
muscles in masticating the bit of pa
per and the consequent flow of saliva
soon eases the cough, and by the time
the paper is reduced to a pulp the
cough will have eased. and ones ner-
vousness will be entirely gone.

Porterhouse Steaks.

THE Porter house was haunt of

pilot came in rubbing his hands. He
ordered a glass of porter and a steak.

FIND HISTORIC TOMB.
MUMMY OF RED SEA PHARAOH
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Discovery Proves That Ruler Who
Drove the Children OF Israel from
Egypt Wac Not Drowned, but
Died Natural Death.

An important royal mummy has
been added to the assembly in the
Hall of Kings in the Museum at Cairo
Egypt. 1t is nothing less than that
of the Pharaoh who drove the chill
dren of Israel out of Egypt. And in
ternal evidence reveals that he did
not meet his death in the Red sea.
Both monumental, Biblical and elias
steal authorities agree that the son of
Rameses II-Seti-M -Phtah, or
Menephtah-is the ruler to whose
reign this important episode Of the
Exodus and the submergence Of
Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea
is to be assigned. There has long
been mystery surrounding this i'm
portant ruler. His tomb in the Valley
Of the Royal Tombs was discovered
some years ago. but never properly
explored, and the general idea formed
was that the tomb had never been fin
ished or occupied. probably, as many
writer's conjectured, on account of the
body of the King never having been
recovered from its watery grave in
the Red sea.
Some years ago NJ. Lovet, one of
Sir CASTOR Maspero's assistants. dis
covered in the valley of the Kings at
Thebes the tomb Of the Pharaoh
Amenophis II, which had fortunately
escaped the attention of both ancient
and modern tombs robbers. Not only
was the body of the royal owner found
in the coffin, undisturbed and covered
with wreaths of flowers, but several
other royal and priestly mummies
were found in the side chamber which
had been removed there for safety.
Among them was one which at first
was thought to be the remains Of the
hereto King Amenophis " of Akh-u-
Aten, but which on being examined
was found to have on the bandages
an Endorsement in indelible ink which
stated that it was the mummy of
Menephtah.
The mummy has now been unrobed
so we are able to look upon the face
of this historic ruler and see the man
ner of man he was. The mummy
winch had been rebandaged at a later
time, probably at the time of removal
to a place Of safety, belonged Ger.
tainly to the time of the early
Rameses.
When the bandages were removed
the face and head being carefully un
covered-there was exposed to view
the face of an old man bearing q
striking resemblance to Seti /, his
grandfather. The head was bald, ex
cepting narrow fringe on the TEN
pies of black hairs, mixed with a few
gray, which had been carefully cut
There were traces of hair on the CHR
and upper lip. The body had beer
very carefully embalmed. and It wa.
perfectly clear the King had died &
natural death, and been laid to res

THE EDIBLE BIRDS NEST
Demand Exceeds Supply and Com
modify Sells as High as S25
Pound.

Edible birds nests are found in the
islands of the coast OF Siam and are
the products of a species Of birds be-
longing to the family of swifts. The
nests consist almost entirely of the
salivary secretion of these birds,
whose salivary glands are much more
developed than those of the ordinary
swift. The season for the gathering
of the nests begins in April and ends
in September.
The female bird, occasionally assist
ed by the male, makes the nest
About three months are spent by the
birds in completing their first nest,
which is taken by the nest gatherer
before eggs are laid in It; then the
birds Immediately begin to make an
other nest, which is finished in about
30 days, and which is also taken.
Finally a third nest is made If about
three months, in which the bird is
allowed to rear its offspring, after
which this nest is also gathered. Each
family of birds thus furnishes three
nests in one season. The nests TAX
en- at the beginning of the season are
considered the best in quality.
Most of these edible nests are con-
sumed by the Chinese, who regard
them, not only as a great table deli
cacy, but also as a valuable tonic
medicine in neurasthenia and pulmon-
airy disorders. 1t is said that the de
mand in Hongkong for the nests ex-
ceeds the supply and that prices
range from SIS to $25 per pound. az
