There has been a diver sity of opinion on the subject, (but tne majority have decided lo keep on liviog in the nineteenth century another year. A Good Trick. The parrot’s determination to speak his set phrases under all sorts of cir cumstances often produces strange sit nations. The story is told of a sleight of hand performer who kept a parrot that he had trained to say, whenever one of his master’s tricks had been fin ished: “That’s a good trick! What’s the next one?” One day the juggler, being in a sea port town, gave bis performance in a loft on one of the wharfs, which hap pened to be just over the place where a large quantity of powder was stored in kegs. The juggler was about to perform some feat which required the lighting of a candle. He lighted it and threw the match away without making sure that the blaze bad gone out. The match, still burning, fell through a crack in the floor, and dropped into one of the kegs of powder, which exploded with great force, throwing the building into the air. The parrot, who was blown up with the rest, did not stop until it reached the pinnacle of the topmast of a great ship which layoff the wharf. There he clung desperately, and looking down to the world below he called out in a shrill voice: “That’s a good trick! Wliat's the next one?”—San Francisco Examiner. Clearly Proved. Mrs. Bolivar heaved a deep sigh. “Before we were married,” 6he said, “you promised me that my slightest wish would be your law.” “Did 1?” said Mr. Bolivar, in a tone of surprise. “You said,” continued Mrs. Bolivar, “that you would give up the club and not play poker any more.” “Did I, really?” “You swore that you would give me whatever I wanted and that I might go to the seashore every summer and stay as long as 1 liked.” “Is it possible?” “Yes. And you said that you would iw?ver take another drink and never flirt the least little Lit, and now you do all these things and have not kept a single promise. It proves conclusively to me that you never loved me.” “I beg to differ from you there, my dear,” said Mr. Bolivar oratorically. “Your premise is all wrong. Your rea soning is woefully at fault. Your state ments prove conclusively that I did love you. In fact, I must have adored you madly if I told such whopping lies to get yon.” And with this vindication Mr. Boli var considered the argument at an end. — Kansas City Independent. Tired Eyes. A correspondent of Popular Science News tells of a party of Alpine climb ers who. having spent five hours among the snows cf the mountains, returned to their homes after dark. A great change had to all appearance taken place since the night before. Instead of being illuminated in the usual way, tbe place was supplied with green lights. It took the travelers a little time to realize that they were suffering from Daltonism, or color blindness, superin duced by eye fatigue. The intense light caused by the sun shining upon the snow had for the time rendered them unable to judge of colors and given rise to their curious mistake. Three hours elapsed before the eyes regained their normal condition. Chevreul explains that the eye can not gaze long upon a given color with out tending to become insensible to it When the eye looks long upon a color, it should be rested by the complemen tary color. Thus an eye that has grown tired with green should be rested by red, which is green’s complementary color. A Jointed Snake. Mr. George D. Pemberton of Spott sylvania, Va., reports the following: “While walking around my farm I came across a copper colored snake about 2% feet long. I struck the rep tile a blow on the head with a stick, and, to my surprise, the sake fell apart in four pieces. Near by was a hole, and into this the head went, and, although I worked for half an hour trying to get it, I failed. I then examied the body, which was as hard as if had been frozen, and, as far as I could discover, it was entirely lifeless. Thinking it was a jointed snake, I left the pieces of the body on the ground and went to the house. Shortly afterward I returned, but the portion of tbe body that I had left disappeared and no trace qf it could be found.’’—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Dear Child. “Wbat are you after, my dear?” said a grandmother to a little boy who was sliding along a room and casting furtive glances at a gentleman who was paying a visit “I am trying, grandma, to steal papa’s bat out of the room without let ting the gentleman see it. He wants him to think he’s out.” Marriage la a Serlona Thins. An Atchison mother's boy married recently, and his wife made him shave o:ff his mustache before ehe would make him any soup, of which he was very fond. When he lived at home, he got his whiskers in the soup every day, and his mother took it as a compliment to her cooking.—Atchison Globe. The Method. “Here’s a case of a man who went to law in order to get the girl he loved away from her parents.” “Took ont a writ of attachment, I suppose. “—Chicago Post. There are annually killed in Africa a minimum of 65,000 elephants, yield ing the production of a quantity of raw ivory, the selling price of which is $4, 200,000. As early as the year 47 B. C. the great Alexandrian library contained over 40,000 valuable books. ■*** ‘ a Dr. Ashby, of the “German Ameri can Stall of Physicians and Sur geons” kindly corrects us in our ar ticle of last week, with the informa tion that Chaul Moo Gra was not kept iD a bottle but a package. The doctor seemed hurt to know that we had even intimated that it was nec essary to keep it bottled up. so we asked his pardon for our error. One which was easily made as we had always been used to taking our moo from a bottle. The doctor also told some of our people that Ohaal had uever been known to do the family milking or any menial labor, and the man who said so lied. If we have erred in this we are willing to be forgiven, but the day it was in our ollice its breath penetrated an inch board petition and left a remem berance that had to be treated liber ally with concentrated lye.
