Washinston. June a.-Cabinet ofyi-

the administration. They regard the
plank on Mexico as being without any
new definite policy. As to European
affairs cobtnet officers say the plank
is simply lot OF platitudes without

official said

ably disappointed"
1t was stated that because of the
alleged lack Of force in the Republican
platform there were no new subjects
to take as the cabinet session and the
final draft of the Democratic platform
was approved. The challenge set
forth in the Republican platform Is
accepted by Democratic leaders and
that instrument 10 denounced as weak

Senator overman, of North Carolina
said;
There Ia nothing In the Republic

PARROT IS VERSATILE BIRD
cred Tribe in Many Ways Besides
Initiating Human Voice.

1t appears that it is not only in
initiating human speech that the par
rot excels most of the birds. It is
alone among birds in taking food in
it's claws. With these two character
istics it makes more or less use OF
that which distinguishes humanity
from the rest Of the animal kingdom
the hand and the larynx.
The monkey uses it's hands and the
elephant it's trunk in feeding. Various
animals have habit Of paving 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 remarkably flexible perching-toe
somewhat more than does hen in
scratching for food. However, there
is no other bird which, when present
ed with piece of food, will accept it
in it's claws.
Parrots do not, of course, talk, as
the word is used, In their wild state,
and are not known to be initiative OF
neighboring sounds, nor to possess
the repertory of the mockingbird. 1t
is, therefore, question whether or
not their use of the claws is largely
| initiative also. The shape Of the par
rots beak would indicate that some
assistance in eating has always beer
a part OF the birds characteristics.
Like man, the parrot makes it's ap-
pearance in the world naked and
