Rome, Oct. 30.---The wiping out of
party differences and strengthening
OF Italy's morale in the face Of tho
present military effort by the Austro-
German Coalition is eXempllfied in
statements issued by two of the po-
litical parties, the Catholics and the
official socialists, No party sentl-
ment must be recognized in this time

One effect Of the, participation of
German troops In the offensive has
been the elimination OF the, few re-

together with the arousing of the
fighting spirit to a marked degree
among Italians in general.
Cadorna Sounds Warming.
General Cadorna's bulletins are
causing the nation to realize II is
facing a severe trial, but the press
reflect spirit Of determination on
the part of the people that loss Of
the fruits won in the past shall be but
temporary.
The eneny's gains of the past six
days are regarded as having been
due not SO much TO superior forces as
to the elements Of surprise.

Duane experienced a sort of pleas

about Bland and his gang, and glad to
have something to think about. For
every once in a while he had a sensa-

wanted to forget. In the next hour he
did forget, and enjoyed helping In the

BIRD OF GREAT VERSATILITY
Parrot 10 the Best lmitator Of Sounds
II, and Only Feathered Creature
Taking Food In Claws.

1t appears that II 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 its
claws. With these two characteris-
tics, remarks writer in the Washing
ton Evening Star, 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 its hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animals have a 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 re-
markably flexible perching toe some
what more than does hen In scratch
ing for food. However, there is no
other bird which, when presented with
piece of food, will accept 1t in its
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 hooking bird. 1t is,
therefore, question whether or not
their use of the claws is largely imita-
tive also. The shape of the parrots
beak would indicate that some assist
ance In eating has always been a part
OF the birds characteristics.
Like man, the parrot makes its ap-
pearance in the world naked and help
less.

character; 1t had been used in sacri-
fee to the pagan gods. Was it, there
fore, tainted with heathenism? Might
Christian eat it? II he did, might
he not be accused of participating in
the idolatrOus ceremonies? To Paul
himself an idol was nothing; the serv-
ices did nothing to the meat he could
eat 1t without question, and so advised
his Corinthian friends. Yet he recog-
nized special cases where he and
others would abstain because of the
law of love and the conscientious
scruples of another.
The other vexed question arose over
the gradual substitution of Sunday
for Saturday, as the Sabbath rest
day. The Lords day, the day Of
resurrection, the first day, became the
generally accepted Christian Sabbath.
Some Jewish Christians felt this to
be very wrong, and indeed there are
fine, stalwart Christians today who
feel as they did. But the great ma
jority took the view that the leading
of the spirit warranted the departure
from the letter.-The Christian Her

Good In Reading.

An antagonistic influence to reading
exists In some quarters in the curious
ly mistaken Idea that 1t hinders the
development Of individuality, making
'copiers instead of originators. Any
knowledge Of the history Of great men
and women proves the absolute falsity
Of this; moreover, the conscious de-
sire to be original which such an
attitude on the part Of grown-ups
leads to in children is very bad. One
never heard of great men being pre-
occupied with the endeavor to be orig
iDal. Observation, again, Is increased
rather than the reverse by the habit
Of reading. Those children into whose
lives books other than as enforced
lessons never enter are as rule singu-
larry nobservant-proof that the
brain must be behind the eyes In OBJ
servation, just as it must be behind
the hand in technical work.
