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.

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.
