A Woman-Hating Parrot. 1 The oldest and most interesting parrot A ha St. Louis, in alI. probability, is owned i by Frank Cafferata. Mr. Cafferata says a that the bird is over sixty years of age. " Let me tell you about him,"' Mr. Oaf- '1 ferata said, addressing a friend. "Lot i me tell you of him," he continued, as he t< warmed up on the subject ; " he is the p most extraordinary parrot that ever lived. ti Why, he has forgotten more than most 'a parrots ever knew. He was brought to n St. Louis from New Orleans, and could t1 speak no other language at the time of hi 1a.val except Spanish and French. n tthe s ho c9nld handle .11 forgot isSpanish and French, and e learnled English. While I lived at the a old Olive Street Hotel he was in- the ri habit, whenever he heard an omnibus o approaching, of shouting ' Right this a way; all aboard for the Ohio and Missis- li sippi,' to the great mortidecation of por-n ters, He has no use for women, and la will try to exasperate them by mocking I -them whenever an opportunity presents li itself. I don't know why it is, but it is v true, nevertheless, that the old fellow fi will not permit any familiarities from any v person who is not a child. A child he f will defend in a spirited manner, but per- c sists in trying to bite every grown person la who approaches him. In the morning di he raises a tremendous fuss until he pro- s .cures his regular brcakfast, consisting j L of bread and coffee." When They Died. di A fraction more than one-third of all a the Presidents of the United States (not ' n counting the two ex-Ptesidents now liv- a~ ing nor President Garfield) have died in c the, month of July.

Why are Ministers Funny? A man was arrested in New York for Lughing at a meeting of the " Salvation .rmy," and when brought before the idge and asked why ho laughed ho said t the close of the services a man said, A collection will now be taken up. 'rads dollars will be accepted.'' . The idgo decided that the remark was made _create laughter, and acquitted the risoner. This incident may be food for mought on the part of cerain ministers ho aro in the habit of making "cun ing " remarksin the pulpit. What do icy do it fpr?' Do they want people to sug,? -c'o they want them to come as ear ughing as possible, and not laugh. (Ety attendant at churches can remem er remarks made by ministers that were vidently intended to touch the risibles, ud yet if the audience laughed, the linister would be offended. Beecher ften makes remarks that cause a broad nile all over the house. Suppose a undred people in the audience could ot stop at a~ smile, but that they should iugh so as to shake the roof, wouldn't keecher be the one to blame ? We have eard a Methodist ministers in Wisconsin, ho is now President of a college, say munier things ini the pulpit than we ever Trote-which isn't saying much for the mn of his remarks-and it was all we ould do to keep from brusting into a mugh. If we had laughed as hard as we id next day, in conversation with the imoe minister, when he said thingw not alf as funny, he would very likely have istructed his sexton to fire the red.. eaded man out of the church. What id he say the funny things fnr; in the olenmn church? Certainly it was not to 2ake his hearers cry. We have heard ni eminent preacher, formerly of this ity, say things in the pulpit that were s full of humor and sarcasm as words ould be, and yet his face was as mourn 1as the tune, " Hark from the Tombs Doleful Sound." Let him say the ame things in camp, while the .boys rere sittings around a trout dinner, and hie woods would ring with laugh~ter. row, what was he di-iving at ? Did ho rant his hearers to laugh, or did he rant them to smile and look around at riends in other pews as much as to say, ' Wcll, lhe's a trump.'' There ought to e an understanding about this thing. f preachers want us to laugh, when they ya funny thing, let them say so. We o not suppose the minister who started is prayer, "0 Lord, we come before e under the auspices of the Rock lounty Agricultural Society," wanted nybody to laugh, though lhe might just s well have added, "Ad mission twenty ye cents. Children half price." Guess lie next time we go to church and a iinister says something fiminy we will mugh, and get arrested.-Pcch's Sun. 'Buffalo Bill's Trafl..

Canada's Only Hope.

Practically, for all business purposes, we would be one grand people, extending our operations from Mexico to the North Pole without any transhir ment of cars. Property in Canada would immediately increase 100 per cent. Our oiti(es and towns would be dotted with manufactories to keep at home the pop ulation now seeking employment acroiss the lines. Our farmers would receive for their produce the duty now p aid at the frontiers on every bushel of grain and head of cattle exported to the United States, and whiiph amounts to millions of dollars. Politically, we would remain as we are, with our local and federal gov ernments. Every business man under stands that commercial union means prosperity to our people." A Fair Average. The Oil City Derrick has heard so many stories about narrow escapes, thrilling incidents and strange coinci dences during the late war that it begins to think the whole number of truthful anecdotes of this kind must be pretty near exhausted. It would certainly seem as though they had all been told, and what are now being related are for news paper purposes; but we don't know. There were a good many instances in the late war whero somebody came very near ha~ving a narrow escapo, but missed, and he is now fertilizing Southern soil. There were also lots of whiat would have boen strange coincidences, but they did not quite make the carom; and there were thirillin incidents that nobody knows anything about, for sufficient rea sons. No; we guess it is hardly time yet to stop relating 'new anecdotes of the late war. Those that are now being re lated may be. bald-facedl fabrications, and we p resume many of them are; but they will serve to supply the place of in cidents that occurred of which no one was left to toll the tale, and upon the whole there will be a fair average. ..en Vipers.

The avowed intention was to make the contest short, sharp anol decisive. In November, 1876, the Rusian army on the Danube was composed of 180,000 men. Another army of 59,000 men marched against Kars, in Asiatic Turkey.t In the follow ing April the principal army had been swelled in numbers to 246,000 men, in iluding 40,000 servian and Roumanian auxiliaries, and 6,000 of the Bulgaian shr nleiie I oeb r, 76 militia.

Surroundings of the Great French Realist. Zola is one of the most industrious of men. He rises -early every day, and works steadily from 8 o'clock until 1, and in the evening again resumes his writing. He is a foe of the noisy life of the world, and spendg the greater part of his time in his country seat at Medan, wIhere he lives for nine months of the year-a remarkable trait for. one whose writings are so identified with the every day life of Paris. And it is just as re markable that this apostle of realism should live amonig the most idyllic sur roundings, in Paris as well as in the country. His Paris dwelling is lux uriously furnished. There are fine old rugs and tapestries. In the midst of his chamber stands a bed in the style of Henry II., and the light streams through old staiued-glass windows upon a thou sand fantastic objects standing in every available place. Antique things are seen on all sides ; ancient embroideries, century-6ld-altar carvings, and the like. In his house at Medan, it is still more strango looking. His residence consists of a square tower, 'with a microsccipio cottage attached. There is no park, no tree, no allee ; only a'.little front yard, hardly more than a vegetable garden, with a simple fence separating it from the railroad line. But in the author's sanctum the splendor is so much the greater., Zola works in the midst of a great and lofty hall, which is lighted by a large atelier window reaching to the ground on one side. This immense room is filled with curtains, rugs, draperies, and furniture of all ages, and all tooun tries, medimeval weapons, either genuine or counterfeit, Japanese furniture, and beautiful things of tne eighteenth cen tury. The stove is of truly monumental design and size, and an entire oak could bo burned in it in one day. The ceiling is gilt, and bric-a-brao is scattered around on all sides. Zola has no passion for making regular collections ; he buys as he pleases, just as the chancp or his fancy may dictate. He follows the mood of his eye, and purchases an object for some quality of form or color which chances to please him, without heeding the real worth or origin of the thing. 'Bostoni H1erald.

Dear Sir: Over twenty-three years ago I was attacked with a backing cough, which continued for about three months, when I was suddenly taken with a severe hem, orrhage. After this I gradually lost strength, and finally got so low as to be confined to my bed. From the first ] .amployed what we considered the beat physicians o Boston, but all to no purpose; their medicines gave me but little relief, and I felt, as did all my friends, that I had but a short time to live. In fact, the last doctor had told my sister that I could live but a few weeks WVhilo in this apparently hopeless condition I was visite< by an uncle from California, who strongly advised me t< take your remedies, saying that he had been cured c Consumption by them. My husband, who had no confi dence In patent medicinis, was very much opposed to ma taking them, but I concluded that as my doctor could di nothing for me, -I could not, do better than give them trial. At this time your father was making professlonal visIt to Boston, and although I was so weak that I had to b lifted into a carriage, I went to see him. IHe gave bu little encouragement, saying that I, like many other. only came to see him after being given up by all othe physicians. He pi onised to do what he could for me however, and I imniediately began taking the Mass drake Pill., Seaweed Tonic and Puisanoni< Syrup as he directed. After using them for three week I began to implrovo, and, continuing their use for som months, I got well enough to make a visit to my friend in r'iiephia.

WELLINGTON, 12 Tremont Street, Cambridgeport, Mass, From E. Narmandin, Jr., Esq., 0: Woonsocket, R. L. DR. ScHR~cK & SoN, Philadelphia. Ibear Sirs: I have been cured of what I believe to havi b~een Liver Complaint in its worst form, which befoie: got relief, affected my lungs quite seriously. I had use< the medicines prescribed by a physic!an of this pince fo; a 'oug time without beinefit before I began to take youl remeies. I airst heard oi them by your advertisement ii the Pafriot, of this place, aud concluding to use them, iuicaaed a bottle of Pulmaie Bytup and Seaweec Tonlo. They gave me great relIef, and by the time I had ased them up I felt alnost well. Be I stopped using them for some tinme, but I soon found that the disease was not broken up. I then got more medicIne and con - tinued nusing it until I was well. Mfy symptoms were continuous cough, night sweats, raising of matter streaked with blood, soreness in my lunge and at the pit of my stomach, which was also very much swollen at. times. I was so weak that I could not go up stairs without he lp, and was confined to the house for many weeks. I was very much reduced in flesh, and had no appetite, and nothing I ate seemed to digest. Sinco my recovery I have recommeuded your medicines to a great many, among others, a, lady who had what everyone supposed to be Consumption of the lungs for four years. She has entirely recovered by the use of them, and is now a strong healthy woman. I can else refer to others in this place who have been greatly ben efitted by their use. Yours tru:ly, E.

On time contrai y, they are so mild and agreeable in their action that a person suifferiing with a sick headache, sour stomach or paln In the bowels, is speedily relieved of theso distressiing symptoms. They act directly on the liver, the organ which, when in a healthy condition, purifies the blood for the wholo bodiy. They are a perfoct preparation of that great and well. known remedy, Mandrake or Podophyllin, a remedy that has displaced the a se of mercury, as well as many other poisonous drug, in the practico of every intelligent physician. Prof. John IKmg, of the College of Modicine, of Cincin. natl, says: "~ In Constipastion it acts upon the bowels without disposing them to subsequent costiveness. In Chronio Liver Complaint there is not its equal in the wh dlo range of medicInes, being vastly more useful than mercurial agents, arousing the liver to healthy action, inoreas,- the flew of bile, and keeping up these actions longer than 'my other agent with whIch we are ac. quaied.'' (83e America, Ilspensatory, page 720.) In all eases if Liver Complaint or Dyspopsia, when there is great weakness or debliity, Dx'. Nelsesack's Seaweed Tone should be, used In connection with these.Pills. DR.
