He has been drunk according to his own admission for period of five weeks past.

It was necessary for the fam iIy. through Delaney, to request him to absent himself during the services in church and cemetery, but angered at the suggestion he forced. himself into a carriage containing mourners and continued his abusive language at both places
 Upon arrival at the home he attack ed another mourning sister with the result that she fell down flight of stairs after which he elinched with Delaney and the pair were likewise precipitated below.

MOST HUMAN OF BIRDS.

Not Only In Talking, but In Eating;
 the Parrot Initiates Man..
 It is not only in initiating human speech that the parrot excels most or the birds. The parrot is alone among birds in taking food in it's claws. With these two characteristics it makes more or less use of that which distinguishes humanity from the rest of the animal kingdom-the hand and the larynx- 7
 The monkey uses it's hands and the elephant it's trunk in feeding. Various animals have a habit of pa wing their food. Rodents have serviceable toes Still. the parrot is pre-eminent among birds in this regard. The secretary bird is said to attack reptiles with its claws, and some observers have said that owls make partial use of their re marka bly, flexible perching toe some what more than does a hen in scratch ing for food. However, there is no other bird which, when given a piece Of food. will accept it in it's claws.
 Parrots. of course. do not talk, as we use the word. in their wild state and are not known to be imita tive of neighboring sounds nor to possess the repertory of the mocking bird. It is therefore question whether or not their use of the claws is largely inai tative also. The shape of the parrots beak would indicate that some assist ance in eating has always been part of the birds characteristics
 Like man, the parrot makes its ap- pearance in the world naked and help 1ess.-Harper's Weekly. e

CURIOUS INSURANCE.
Some of the Queer Risks Taken by the
 Brokers at Lloyd's.

Some of the Queer Risks Taken by the Brokers at Lloyd's. They will take any risk at Lloyd's in London. It should be understood that this great corporation has nothing to do with it. but that the brokers issue policies as individuals. Here are a few specimens of risks actually in- sured:
 The uncle of a rich heiress took out a policy for 10000 guineas against her eloping with certain man before a specified date. He paid 1000 guineas premium, and the girl did not eloRe. so the broker was in 1000 guineas.
 A young man sued by girl for dam ages for breach of promise to marry paid 800 guineas for a policy covering any amount of money the jury might award to the plaintiff. It gave her f7OO, so the broker made more than f1OO profit.
 A cablegram arrived at the office of a shipowner stating that one of his steamers was on the rocks in dan gerous place. The owner took out policy for f5.50O, to be paid to him if the ship were lost. He paid for this a premium of e5.OOO. The ship was saved, so he lost the money.-New York World.

When, chancing to meet him. writes Mrs. Conway. q alluded to the disappointment. He asked for g1veness and said, I win come next Monday. even though I promise.
 He had a constant dread that his friendship or acquaintance would be sought on account of his writings rather than for himself. A lady who sat next him at dinner without learn ing his name afterward remarked. s1 have always longed to meet him, and I would have been so different had only known who my neighbor was" This. unfortunately. being repeated to Bret Harte, he exclaimed: ''Now, why can't a woman realize that this sort of thing is insulting?

whoopins Cough superstition..

Whooping cough is the subject of more quaint supersdtions in England than almost any other disease. In Northamptonshire it is believed that if a small quantity of hair is cut from the nape of the sick chi1d's neck, rolled in piece of meat and given to dog the whooping cough will be transferred to the animal. Tn Cornwall the child is fed with bread and butter which has been passed three times under the belly of piebald horse. In Lanca shire they still tell you that whooping cough will never attack a child that has ridden on a bear.-London Answers.

The EnaIish kina.

The king of England has no legisla- tive veto. He must sign his own death warrant if the two houses unan- fmously send it to him. It is fiction of the past to ascribe to him legisla- tive power. He has long ceased to have any. The prime minister is the chief executive of the British constitu don. The king has the right to be consulted, the right to encourage. the right to warn. provided he can find anybody that wants to consult him or anybody that cares to be encouraged by him or anybody that will stop to. be warned. In other words, the king is a "fgurehead,' or, as it has been
 more respectfully expressed, he is the ornamental rather than the use ful'' part of the British constitution New York American

PITCHER TOOK
ADVANTAGE.

Eastern folks tell many curl
Gus and grotesque tales about
Oklahoma folks. The latest one
is "on" Tulsa. 1t refers to a
purported baseball game that
was played here. The Chris
tian Science Monitor, published
at Boston, Mass, tells the
story in the following manner:
Down in Oklahoma they have
a baseball association called
the Oklahoma State league.
During one Of their games at
Tulsa recently a countryman
went to the park and paid
his money and took a seat on
the bleachers. He sat with Il
look of disgust on his face
while the pitcher famed the
visitors in one, two, three or
der.
"How do you like the
game, uncle?' asked a fan
who sat next to him.
ITS all right, | reckon
said the man, hut they ought
to get someone else to throw
balls. That man can't throw
a ball SOS the other boys can
hit it,"
