A Tolly That Itrpeat the LorUV riayer with Considerable? Iirty and One Which Imitates a Itail lioy Tlit; luetzal aud Snpilote. A letter from Qnenaltcnango. Guatemala, to the New York Time says: A small in habitant of Central America not hereto fore mentioned by me. but very deserving of it, is the - loro,"' or parrot. One sees manv thatare will taught in the United Slates, but 1 doubt if there arc birds in any part of the world which have attained such perfection of education as those here. 1 heard one sins: an -Ave JIarIa" from beginning to end without missing a word or note or uttering a false one. Anotncr. lelonging to a priest, could rejeaT the Lord's prayer, and should one not undcr-tand sufficient Spanish to know he would yet be instantly aware that the bird was praying, so perfect were his tone?., imitating the low. solemn voice of bis master. There arc. of roure. the great ma., trity whi-h wish to know every moment if there is -no bread for Polly. and those which Ufeo strong and emphatic lan guage. Some jieroas teach their bird-, to reicat certain answers to cer tain questions, and in this way save themselves much annoyance. In Cen tral American towns, the houses are bililt on a hollov.--Muare plan, bavins an interior 'patio," or court. The heavy double door led.ng m is usually open. Ilay. wood and carbon or charcoal arc sold from door to door by Indians carrying their loads on their backs. Whatever may be for sale is yeLed at the door in very much the same vo.ee that venders of oranges, strawberries and brooms used to call out in the streets of 'e-.v York, but in this countrv the veiling: is continued until an answer is obtained; anl when a house is well supplied it is ra'Ler trying to patience and and latent temper to have -carbon i" thundered oat in your yard every five minutes. n they put the parrot in a gveeu tree, where it is diffi cult to see him, and he answers "No." and in a voice so human that not five 4-carbou-niers" in a hundred cah discover the deceit. All this is very aireeable should you not wish to buy any thing, but should you wish Xo bay something the parrot answers "No," just the same, and probably adds on a curse, which explains a common sight that of a adatless. coatless maa rushing out of his houe into the street to call back an Indian who has just been dismissed by the parrot. While staying in a hotel m Quezaltenango my room was next to that of a German fam ily, tvfco had a snlendidlv-educated carrot little boy named Herbert- The parrot f much a member of the family as any others, and, being constantlr with L-, he became very wise. Herbert was often scolded and punished bv his mother oftener, I believe, than the littlo fellow deserved; and these punishments and Herbert's sobbing and crying made a decided impression on the bird. The little boy's iither was often away, and 1 soon noticed that he turned to the parrot for com panionship, as there were no little children jr playmates. "When the family left their Tom- l'olly was always locked up. and dur ing these absences he would practice his repertoire, now singing some song, now swarinat some imagmaryperson. Tnen, in imitation of the mother and ia her harsh, s:A-n voice, he would cry out: "Herbert! Herbert! what do you mean bv that? You w loy." and after making a sound in imi taon of a slap, he would cry and sob pre cisely like the child. Though" I knew that the family owned this bird, yet he often de ceived me and excited what at the time was unnecessary sympathy for Herbert. A beautiful bird, and one now fast be coming extinct, Ls the "quetzal," the Na tional bird of Gautemala: and with such reverence is he regarded that his engrav ing occupies the center of the postage staSips of theountry. The body of the bird ls about the size of that ot a good sod California quail: his general color fc a beautiful emerald green, with a crim son and a yellow luster running through it; the sm;li feathers of the head stand straht up. and his four or five tail feath ers. whih grow to the length of two feet, are rub green and red. His home is in the tallest mountains: he pines away and dies after a month of captivity, andeven the Indians, who know his habits, arc unable to keep mm alive when away from his native haunts. It is aid that his food is the plan tain: but confined as a pet he does not rel ish : prepared in most tempting ways. The;, hay he dies should one of his tail feathers be broken. How true this may be I do act know, bur it seems to havo some fundauou considering the great care he taes of them.

It is somewhat remarkable that even tha m venomous serpents. i An Expert' Account of the Rent! Expert's Account of the Reptiles ol the United Mate. In this countrv there nrc four different species of rattlesnake, the ground, or black rattlesnake, the Florida spseies, the mounts ' ain serpent and that of the Staked Plains, says Stephen J. IVHjox in the St. Louis l'Dt-D'w))nMi. The rattlesnake found cast of the Mississippi and the wooded district just west of that river, is essentially the same as the Florida secies, although some times classed ar a separa e variety. Of all those the Staked Plains rattlesnake is the largest, most active and most dangerous. Stx feet is not an unusual length, while seven-foot snakes have on several occasions been killed. These serjeiit.s measure some times ten inches round the bod-, and re coveries from thdr venom are very rare. The Florida rattlesnake comes next in size, while the short, stumpy ground snake, scarcely ever more toau three feet long, is the least venomous. But three other venomous serpents are found in this country, the copperhead, the moccasin, land aud water, and a small and vciy rare saake found m Arizona, which is considered the mot deadly of alL This si-ake lies m the dust, and strikes like a flash of lightniiig at any thing that ap proaches. A jweuliar fact about this snako is that it is nearly completely blind, and has the keenest hearing of any snake known. These reptiles are very rare, and but half a dozen specimens arc found iaatiy of our museums. Among the articulates some of the spiders, nearly all of the scorpions, and a few species of centipedes are poisonous, but the virulence of their venom has been im menely exaggerated, and has become a superstition. The tarantula is regarded by many as mors venomous than the rattle snake, but in all my investigations I never discovered more thaa two iastaaces where men have been bitten by these great spiders, and in neither case were the con sequences serious. The sting of a scorpion is not much worse than that of a wasp, and an active bedbug is more dangerous than a centipede at least than any found north of the Mexican fine. The effect of a snake's poison is entirely exerted on the corpuscles of the blood. I have experimented on various animals, and have found that the result of venom is to cause a disintegration ot the corpuscles, re ducing the blood to a thick, homogeneous mass. Hogs arc regarded as impervious to venom, but this is by no means the case. Hogs certainly kill and eat rattlesnakes, but if these reptiles once drive their fangs deep enough to reach the blood, a pig will die as soon as any other unimaL The secret of their immunitvlies in tho f:ut that iliw ad vance upon the snake with their fat cheeks presented. The snake drives its fangs into the mass of fat presorted, the blood is not reahd and the hog strips the snako throi its teeth before it can strike an other blow. Cut when the hog is thin the fat can not serve as a shield and death en sues. Whether or not an animal recovers from a snake bite depends largely upon its strength, as in a short time the blood will resume its corpuscular condition, and no danger ensues. It is simply as a stimulant that whisky has been found effective, as it in no way directly counteracts the effect of the poison. MARKING MERCHANDISE. A CoaronloBt Table for Merchant la All Una of BaalMaa. Many goods bought and sold by retail merchants arc billed and vended by the dozen, says the Industrial World, and it often happens that in marking them the mer chant is sometimes a little puzzled as to the percentage the selling price bears to the wholesale figures. After adding freight and cartage proceed by the following method. To make a profit or 20 per cent., divide the cost per dozen by ten. This is done by removing the decimal point one place to the left. To illustrate: If Ames' scoops cost $17.50 per dozen, delivered at store, remove the decimal point one place to the left, which will make f 1.75 each, and what they should be sold for to gain 20 per cent, on the cost. The 20 per cent, is taken as a basis for the following refcons: "We can determine it instantly, by simply re moving the decimal point without changing or adding a figure. Therefore to mark an article at any per cent, profit wa may us the following as a general rule: First find 20 per cent, profit as above, then as 20 per cent, profit is 120 per cent, of the cost and profit, add or subtract from this amount the fractional part that the required per cent, added to 100 is more or less than 120. Tho major ity of merchants, in making their goods, generally take a percent., that is, an aliquot part of 100, as 20, 25, 33J& 50 and so on. The obvious reason for this is, be cause it is much easier to add such percent, to the cost, and a merchant could mark a dozen shovels, forks and hay knives at 50 per cant, profit in the time it would take him to calculate and mark one at 35 per cent. The following will be found very convenient for merchants in marking all articles bought by tho dozen: To xnal:s SO per cent, remove decimal point one pla;e to left. To mc b') per csnt. remove decimal point oce pltice to left, and add H itself. To make O) ier cent, remove decimal point one p'.ace to left, anJ add J itself. To make 50 per cent, remove decimal point I one place to lelt, and add i i.sclf. j To maUe -1 1 per cent, remove decimal roint one piacc to lelt. and add 1C itself. To make 40 per coat, rcmov decimal point one placs to lelt, and ad J J-jltself. To make 37 per ceat. remove decimal point one place to lert, and add 1-T itself. ! To make 35 per cent, remove decimal point J one place to left, and add itself.

It isn't always that a woman can afford to forego the quality of distinction in dress. They are telling of a man who died lately and left as a widow a young woman who had formerly been his cook. She was a good-looking and intelligent girl, it is said, but he paid no attention to her so long as he saw her only in kitchen attire. But she saved up two or three months' wages, in- , vested the money in the handsome and be coming costume of a lady, carefully arrayed herself in it for an ostensible trip to the city, and then managed to show herself in that improved guise to ber employer. She was no longer a mere servant in calico. She ' was transferred into a fine, handsome lady, i Thev were married within a month, and now -NEW YOf?K LETTEB. amateur Photography's Growing Grata 'JU1 Clause of Society Taken Up with It '4NOantrast of Old and New Method.

The oicrator bad to carry his dark room around with him in order to pre- pare his plates, and they were very slow ip action when t'.iey were prepared. The s trate of ' sBver s.aincd the hands land ruined the clothes of the operator, and he earned I around with him an aU-pervading and un-1 conquerable smell of cllodion and other odorous chemicals.

A man can carry his whole outfit in an ordinary hand satcheL take a dozen or fifty views oa the wing and AT GOULD AT THE CAMERA. j leare thcm or weeks or months before ho develops them. The process is clean and simple, and the outfits come at prices which put them within the reach of the smallest purse. Ladies have "gone in for" photog raphy, and, being more careful, more pa tient, and, having a quicker perception of the artwtic, they frequently produce better re sults than men. By actual count, out of thirty-seven amateur photographers I saw the last fine day I was in Central Park six teen we: young women. Business men, too. have yielded to the seductions of the art. and no less a personage in the financial world than Jay Gould is an expert with the eamcra. I am told that Grondju Gould has a series of portraits of Baby Gould, which he took himself, and which he values more highly than any railroad he owns. Arnold, of the great dry-goods concern of Arnold & Constable, is another enthusiastic amateur, and was one of the first to use the dry-plate process. Henry E. Picrrepont, of Brook lyn, is another who has been earnest and successful in the work. But it is impossi ble to mention names of amateur photog raphers. There is hardly a family in the tipper part of New York in which "there is not some member who dabbles in the art. The improvements in the matter of the rapidity of the plates have also done much to popularize amateur photography. When I first went into it, about ten years ago, a plate bad to be exposed about a minute, and one never realizes how much moving a norse or a dog will do in a minute until they have the animal ia front of an un capped lens of a camera. I have among my negatives a beautiful picture of a horse with four ears and two tail-, an animal that would make my fortune in a museum could I get the original as l.e looked in the photograph. With the present rapid iilatcs, which require an exposure of only a frac tion of a second, these diSieulties arc avoid ed. They have made the various styles of so-called "detective cameras"' possible, and matters have come to such a pas3 that one is never certain that he is not having his picture taken unawares The most in nocent hand sachel may eoncial a camera, and the inventors have even gone so far as to contrive a machine, about the size of a soup-plate, which goes umicr the vest aud the lens comes out as a button.

A Meed aad HL, KlUer Who Had Iliddea There for Years. Henry Martin, who resides up in the di rection of Antelope Basin, W. T., recently came across a ghastly relic of early days which migut well form the foundation for a tale of frontier life. Be was out prospecting in a wild and broken part of the country, where in the midst of an elevated plateau it is net un common to suddenly find oneself on the brink of a crevasse or cleft in the rock, a plunge down which would inevitably prove fatal, says the Larmic Zfrmmmiiige. It was in examining one of these strange openings, formed during some tremendous convulsion of the earth azes ago, that Mr. Martin saw pinned between the adamantine walls far below him the whitened bones of a man and horse. He made a circuitous journey around the hill which brought him to where it was posssible to enter the narrow gorge and by difficult climbing over ragged bowlders to reach the skeletons. He cau tiously picked his way through for a dis tance of several hundred feet, and at length reached the object which had ex cited his curiosity. There was no doubt from the position of the annimal and his rider that they had plunged headlong to their death either while tiemg pursued or in some mad ride which did not leave tunc to check themselves on the brink of the yawn ing chasm. Tht; man must have baen fully six feet in height, and between fifty and sixty years of age, the latter supposition being estab lished by the fact that he had during life lost some of his teeth and the bone had grown over the cavities afterward. The skull showed a rather intelligent forehead, the cheek-bones were prominent and the general shape of the head indicated that the bones were those of a Mexican. This theory was confirmed by the further discovery of a rich Mexican sombrero, with heavy gold trimmings, all in a good state of preservation. The skeleton was found iu a iiercendicular P0<,on- tac beaU downward and tightly juuui;u uuLi:i;i. nil; inu waits ui ruefe. iuc rider had fallen from his steed and the bones of the latter were similarly suspended, but twenty feet further up.
