PARROT AS GERM CARRIER
Physician Finds the Bird Is Subject
to Disease Human Beings
May Contract.

Better not keep parrot. A physi-
clan has discovered that birds of this
species are subject to disease called
psittacose, which Is peculiarly con-
tagious, and may easily be contracted
by human beings. AS a germ carrier,
in fact, the parrot is unrivaled.
Now the Office Window is not par
ticularly afraid Of germs They may
be quite as bad, quite as dangerous,
as they are represented. But what is
the use Of trying to get away from
them? We cannot eat, drink or
breathe without taking in germs. We
associate with them from morning till
night. They are bound to work their
will with us anyway-so we may as
we'll ignore them and have as good a
time as we can, before they get us.
But the Office Window is perfectly
willing to take advantage of the
germs as an ally against the parrot
This preposterous bird has nothing
to recommend him except his unlike
ness to the bird species. He does not
sing, but squawks. He Is regarded
as worthless unless he can talk" in
a kind of harsh resemblance to hui
man speech. He is neither bird nor
human; he is a disorderly episode in
creation. He CRATES on the poetic
soul. He is nuisance.-New York
Mail.

Opportunity at West Point.

Deeply fixed in the thought Of the
more well-to-day, is the belief that
anything like equality of opportunity
or condition would be Incompatible
with their own enjoyment and with eff
ficiency Of work in the lower classes.
The dignity of self-sustained leader
ship on the one hand, and the spur Of
necessity on the other, seems to them
the only forces which can keep the
world moving. But this belief has
really no higher authority than that
of tradition and long established Gus
tom. West Point, and in only less
degree the service outside, demon
strates the impotence of wealth or

An lconocIast.

"All over Europe my wife has made
enemies by boldly doubling cherished
traditions" said the traveller, ''but her
skepticism respecting Alfred the Great
embroiled her in the most serious diff
aculty. An old gentleman who sat with
thin, blue fingers spread above the
feeble blaze from which my wife, red
nosed and shivering. endeavored to-
extract a little warmth, expatiated on
the cake-burning episode. Said my
wife abruptly: Don't tell me that,
old yarn again, please. don't believe
word of It,
Why not?' he demanded.
Because she said, there never
was a fire in England hot enough to
burn cakes
Her retort did for the old gentle
man what the first had failed to do, it
made him hot, but even so, he never
forgave her."

deavor. Equality of opportunity, priv
ileges, and pecuniary rewards are
found to be in no sense incompatible
with individual initiative, with eff
cheney in work and with the general
happiness. No loss results-rather, the
reverse-from the absence Of all ex-
traneous advantages, and from COM
polling every one to stand on his own
merit, performing the work for which
he is fitted, without any reference to-
the pecuniary compensation which he
receives.-The Atlantic.

TWEED DEFIED BY HOFFMAN
Tammany Boss Could Not Brighten
Governor Into Giving Approval
to Certain Bill.

AS questioning reporter, the writer
had been received by Governor Hoff-
man, in the executive Office of the old
capitol, with that dignified courtesy
that marked the governors inter-
course with any one, high or low.
The question had been asked, and the
answer given. The reporter rose, and
was making his acknowledgements,
when the green baize doors that sepa-
rated the executive chamber from the
outer Office were swung violently open
and BOSS" Tweed, with red face,
flashing eyes and threatening manner,
burst into the room.
The governor advanced to meet
him, with heavy frown upon his
face.

"Such is my intention, Senator

answer.
"See here, you expect to have sec
ond term, don't you?" cried the en-
ragged boss.
Senator Tweed, l propose to be
governor of the state Of New York
one term and to accept no dictation
during it," replied the governor, look
ing straight into the eyes of the fran
tic boss and standing up very straight

of the room.-From Random Recol-

Honey Bread.
In Europe, where the food value OF
honey seems to be much better un-i
derstood than in the United States
enormous quantities are used. or late
years we seem to be waking to al
realization Of the value OF honey as al
wholesome and delicious article OIL

qualities. Cakes sweetbreads
made with sugar corn become dry
and crumbly, and to get the good oil
them must be eaten when fresh; but
when they are made up with honey,
they seem to retain their moist fresh
ness Indefinitely. In France honey
bread year or eighteen months old
is preferred to that just made. They
say: 1T has ripened." It is the
preservative. or rather the unchang-
ing, quality Of honey that makes it so
popular with the best confectioners.-

"To TAKE EFFECT YESTERDAY

A Kansas City man said he al
ways preferred red-headed Office boys
to any other kind, as he had found
them to be unusually sagacious and
alert, but he discovered recently that
some Of them are too much so. One
day, returning from a short out-of-
town trip, he went to his Office and
mentioned interrogatively that Ulys-
ses, his promising assistant, was no
where in sight, and the stenographer
replied that he had not shown up.
Lifting up the last mail on his desk,
he found a note addressed to him in
a very familiar, broad, vertical hand
writing.
"Dear Mr.. Cross" he read, "please

The storm broke. Vivid flashes o.

The storm broke. Vivid flashes OF
lightning were followed by crash
after crash of thunder, but Barbara
still paced the porch. The trees
we're bent almost double by the
winds force. A binding flash fol-
lowed by deafening roar shook the
earth, and in a minute a bright
tongue of flame shot up behind the
trees. Then other flames. The fire
was near, not more than quarter
of mile away. 1t must be the hos
pital or the row of cottages that
stood close by.
Forgetting her lover, forgetting
everything, Barbara slipped rain
coat over her beautiful gown and
ran toward the burning building.
Coming into the open road, she
saw II was the hospital burning, and
all her womanly sympathy was
aroused for the poor sufferers there
in.
AS she approached the building
she could hear the terrified cries of
the patients, who had been carried
out of the burning building.
Above the roar of the flames and
means of the sick a mans voice
rang out in song. Surely she had
heard that before.
Of COURSE 1t was the song Kent
had adapted for their own pet love
song.
Then followed a string of horrible
oaths; and as Barbara leaned over
the form Of a man lying on mat
tress thar had been placed under a
tree that stood about a hundred
yards from the doomed building
she saw it was Kent-Kent strapped
TO the mattress; Kent, his face
drawn in awful lines, his eyes CLASSY
eyes that looked at her, but from
which no sign of recognition came.
'Kent, Kent, don't you know me ?

dropped on her knees beside the
writhing figure.

The last day Of August dawned
clear and warm. AS the morning
advanced it became hot and sultry.
At noon a haze partly obscured the
sun; but Barbara Judson dressed
for the garden party that was Civ
en- in honor. of her birthday with
all the thrills of anticipation a girl
feels when something wonderful is
about to happen.
Kent was in Seaport. Kent would
talk with her over the phone, and
tomorrow, perhaps tonight, they
would slip away and be married.
Kent had obeyed her wish. He
had not written or telephoned, and
she didn't believe that horrid Mae
Forbes, who said her brother had
been With Kent on terrible bat
in New York.
1t was queer he had not called hel
earlier. Here it was almost three
o'clock, and no message. Perhaps il
would be better if he waited until
after the guests at her party had
departed. Kent was always SC
thoughtful of her.
Seven-thirty, and the last guest,

She sank on her knees, and as she
