I?ora, By By,** and Yielded Up th?* Ghost?"The Funeral Was a I^arge One and the Furnishings Were Gorgeous. There was a strange scene in Nee Valley, away out Castro street , cn Thurs day, and those who witnessed it will not soon tire talking of it. To most of those who took part in it the occasion was fraught with more of curiosity than of deeper interest, but it was not so with all. In a little front parlor at 14143-2 Castro street stands a big erupt r bird cage. Rising from the top of th 3 cage & staff on which a flag, hoisted half mast high, tells the visitor that the cue time occupant is dead. All around the little doorway where she fluttered in and out bits of black and white still further emphasize the fatal fact, and bouquets of flowers fitted into feeding and drink ing cups and hanging from the swinging perch where Polly used to swing are tokens to her memory. It was only a parrot, this recent dweller within those walls of wire, but seldom has a bird left more sincere mourners behind it, and many a man or woman would be proud to think that such an elaborate funeral was in store for him or her. Less than two years j ago this poor parrot was hatched out in I the wilderness of Panama. John Stran- j aghan, an honest sailor lad, came into | possession of the bird on one of his coast- j wise trips and brought it to his uncle's 1 home in Noe Valley. Just one year ago it was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Au- j gustos Tache, and in their pretty little home on Castro street the bird really began to live the life that has now so suddenly ended. The parrot's name was Loretta, but owiug to the difficulty par rots find in pronouncing the letter T she called herself Lora, and tho^e who knew her and loved her learned to ac- j cept the abbreviation. Lora was the ! pet of the entire neighborhood, but she j was the apple of Mrs. Tache's eye. There were tears in both of Mrs. j Tache's eyes last evening as she related : stories illustrating the genius and ac- ! complishments of poor Lora. In ap pearance the bird had been quite like any other green parrot with gold trim mings. Her size was roughly but kindly stated by Mr. Tache, who is a carpenter. 'She just fitted into a box 12 by 3 inches," said he. And there stood the box on a pedestal just in front of the empty ' cottage." It was a dainty bos. more like a young lady's glove box than a oofSn, covered with blue silk and lin*.; with the same in quilted squares. Yei in it poor Lora had been laid out. By the silken handles on either side the I pallbearers had carried it to the grave side, and there in the darkened parlor j it now stands with the other evidences of a woman's strange devotion to the memory of a dead bird. The lessons that Lora learned in her home on Castro street seem all to have been good ones. She could not only talk and whistle like other parrots, but as a singer she had an enviable record. Ke: singing of the chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" is said to have made many of the residents of Noe Valley weep copiously, and Mrs. Tache herself was very much overcome last evening in endeavoring to give the reporter an idea of Lora's ren dition of "Amid the Raging of Sea " "She had a sweet and lovely voice.*' said this fond mistress of a pretty pet, but Mr. Tache did not seem to agree with her. There was also a slight difference of opinion as to the cause of Lora's de mise. Both agreed that the parrot died of cholera morbus, but Mrs. Tache de clared that the disease was due to Mr. Tache feeding the bird on watermelon, while the latter contended that death had been due to too freqent bathing at the hand3 of Mrs. Tache. Whatever the cause, poor Lora was taken ill on Monday last. She was off her feed," as Mr. Tache puts it, all the j afternoon, and when night came she j could muster up no words from her vo luminous vocabulary save **Poor Lora! Boor, poor Lora." It should be men tioned here that she never referred t< herself as Polly, and never made the stereotyped suggestion regarding the ! proverbial cracker. Just as Monday I was turning into Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. i Tache, snugly stowed away in the ad joining bedroom, heard a terri ble scream. ; They knew at once that Lora was on her ! last legs. Mrs. Tache promptly got out of bed and went to the rescue. She also j did what a mother would have done for ! ft dying child. She took the bird to her bosom and sat with it on her own bed. | Poor Lora lived but a short hour longer, i After the one shrill scream there came ' but these words, "By by, Lora, by j byr They were the last words indeed. Written by the afflicted mistress these '. words are still pinned to the wires of the empty birdcage. The writer and her husband are as subdued in their ; grief as if a child had been taken away. The funeral took place at 4 p. m. on Thursday. The neighbors turned out in goodly numbers. The house at 1414^ Castro street was crowded, and there were more flowers than city officiais j have sometimes been honored with. But j the most unique feature of the occasion \ was the hearse. The son of a neighbor- j 4ng grcceryniaa offered the services of ; his g.^at wagon. Certainly nothing j could have been better suited to such a | service. The goat was a well trained ; animal and did not run away. Two lit- ! tie girls, Gay Spencer and Maggie J> ! more, carried the casket out of the house and placed it in the little wagon. Then taking their places, one on ! ach side, and the other children walking two by two behind them, thry led the way up Ca-stro street to Clipper, where in the garden of Mr. Stranaghan, at a grave had been dug to receive all that remained of Lora. The older peo ple stood by when the blue casket was exchanged for a coarser one. and when the earth was filled in above tl-c lowered -coffin there was more than ono genuine gob audible.?San Francisco Chronicle. 1 Testing Diamonds in India. The Hindoos distinguish diamonds ac cording to their color. The white rank first and are called Brahmins, the yel low are known as Kshatris, the dusky as Vaishyas and the flawed stones as Sudras. The diamond dealers are chiefly Marwarees?a race who aro the chi< t bankers and money lenders in India. These men are perfectly acquainted with the phosphorescent and electric qualities of the diamond, and they aro also aware of the extreme uniformity of its specific gravity. A boiling solution of ?orne salt of zinc, called by the natives "Tutenagum bas pam,*' which solution has a specific gravity of 3.5, is used for the weight test. Into this solution the stones sub mitted for examination are thrown. Those that float are rejected as not be ing diamonds, the Marwarees knowing that the diamond has a specific gravity of 3.53. The stones that sink are then e.\\n,u- . ined. The larger pieces are rubbed with I stances, as small pieces of tissue paper. ! Diamonds thus rubbed readily attract I light substances. The phosphorescent I qualities are brought out by exposure of j the stones to sunlight, and then taking i them into a dark room, where the dia j inonds give of a gleaming light. I Cut stones which have been tested as i above are then examined by boys es 1 pecially trained, who sort th.em accord j ing to their color &nd flaws, and it is j verv seldom that these youngsters make ! a mistake, so sharp are their eyes in de i reeling flaws and shades of color. The j appraisement according to size is finally i made by the seniors.?.Mining and Sn- j ! ??ineering. a pair of SILK stockings. Th.o Tlnporlenco of a Fond Brother Who j Wanted to Surprise* Bis .Sister. , ' ' For weeks 1 had been puzzling over a i i commencement gift for my sister, who j j was soon to graduate, when a letter ! I from my mother made me decide upon a j i pair of silk stockings. The thought I that I should have any trouble in buying j a pair cf silk stockings never crossed j my mind, and it was with a feeling of j confidence that I entered one of the ! largest dry goods houses in the city, j A floorwalker inquired what I wanted, ; and directed me to the "third counter to ! the left, down four rows," and waved I his hand in a general way. After some wandering I found the "third counter to the left, down four rows," and to the young man who presided behind it said j j that I wanted to see some stockings, j "Yes, sir; you mean socks." "No, silk stockings," said I, and I felt I that the suggestion of a blush was hang- j ; ing on my manly brow, i "It's socks, sir; socks, sir," reiterated the clerk. j "But I want them for a lad;.*," and as j I said these words I grew red. The | clerk looked at me and then said: "H-m-m?oh, yes! Fourth counter to the right, down two rows." It was a young lady who stood behind this counter, and she maintained a stony silence until I asked her to show me some silk stockings. "White or colored?" "Why, I hadn't thought of that! Which would you suggest?" But this question seemed to freeze her, for she again relapsed into silence. "Which is the fashionable color for ladies?" I went on, bound to treat the matter as a mere business transaction. "I mean, do young ladies usually wear colored stockings?" This seemed to make matters worse, for the young woman glared at me. 1 thought that perhaps I had made a mis take about color, and so I continued: "Well, after all, I guess white will do. Just wrap me up a pair of your best white silk stockings." "Will you have clocks?" she deigned to ask. "No, not clocks?stockings," and 1 looked at her in blank amazement. "I mean, will you have them clocked or not clocked?" Now I hadn't the ghost of an idea what she was driving at, but didn't in tend to confess my ignorance. A bright idea struck me. "If you were buying them for yourself, which would you prefer?" "What?" "I mean, if?if?you were me, which would yon prefer?" The look in her eyes I interpreted to mean, "Go no further, sir; I regard your remarks as offensively personal." So I went no further and said I v.-'.uld take them without clocks. My sister had a watch, and she could get along very well with that. "What size?'' was the young woman's next inquiry. "Oh, the usual size for young ladies," said L "You i^'-st be raoro exact, sir," she j \ said. "Well, she?that is, the person who is to have these stockings?is about five feet high. Oh, she is just the-size of most yo?ng ladies. She is no larger than you are. Now, what- size do you think she'd | wear?" --Sir, I don't know." But I am not going on with this pain ful narration. All men who have been in the same lix will appreciate my feel ings. At length, however, I could stand it r.o longer, and I blurted out that I j 1 wanted a pair of silk stockings for my j ' sister as a commencement gift, that 1 was willing to pay fur them, but I didn't , know anything about buying them. \ - Then the j'ouug woman relented and in j ; her sweetest voice suggested she wrap up a pair of of the best stockings, and that I write to my sister that if they didn't fit she could exchange them. This j I did, but the sun will rise in the west ( before 1 buy any woman's stockings j c again.?Cor. New York Recorder. * - ?

Collection ui Vapor. flow can invisible particles be brought within the range of our vision? That was one of the first of the many marvel ous discoveries of Mr. John A>?en, F. K. S., Falkirk,a distinguished physicist, whose remarkable work has revolution ized a branch of meteorology, lie showed that" without dust hi the air there could be no fo'rs, no mist, no cloud | and probably no rain. The particles of dust are the free surfaces, which, under certain conditions, attract the water vapor of the atmosphere to form fog. Invisible before, they Loconie visible when clothed all over with the moisture: unseen as dust, they become distinct as fog particles. This can bo easily verified. If ordi nary air be forced through a filter of cotton wool into a glass receiver, it is leprived of all its dust particles. Let steam, be introduced into this receiver from a boiler, no change will be ob served; the vessel is quite transparent. But if a jot of steam be introduced into a similar vessel containing ordinary air, it will be seen rising in a dense cloud; then a beautiful fog will be formed, so aense that it cannot be seen through. In the former case, when there was no lust in suspension, the air remained clear; in the latter case, when the ordi nary atmospheric dust was in the ves sel, f og at once appeared. The invisible dust then is detected by the introduc tion of water vapor. Until very lately it was thought that particles of water vapor combined with each other to form a cloud particle, but it is now found that some solid body, however small, is required for this formation. In fact, when thero are no dust particles on which the water vapor at a proper temperature and pressure can condense, there is at present no knowledge as to the point at which the change will take place. Cut the fine particles of dust in the air act as free surfaces on which the water vapor con denses into fog. When there is abund ance of dust in the air and little water vapor present there is an overpropor tion of dust particles, and the fog par ticles are in consequence closely packed, but light in form and small in size, and take the lighter appearance of fog. Ac cordingly, if the dust is increased in the lir, there is a proportionate increase of fog. But on the other hand if the dust particles are fewer in proportion to the aumber of molecules of water vapor, ?ach particle soon gets weighted, springs into visible existence as if by a creative band, and falls in mist or rain. If the water vapor had no dust at all on which :o settle, it would use the objects on the surface of the grouud for the same er.d. is the grass, leaves, tree branches or louse projections. Moisture would then lie ever dripping. Tho occasional genial :ain, though at times lashed up to a siting storm of sleet, would require to rive place to a constant wetness on the roads and grass. Umbrellas would not be needed, but ndia rubber protectors for the feet and egs would be in constant requisition. Even the irritable housekeeper, ever un loyed at the unaccountable appearance )f dust in rooms which she left for clean, would prefer the old necessary evil in ;his dry dust form than seo the walls hipping and the floor wet. ? Good ?Vords. A Singular ?Ietho;l of Treatment. A peculiar case of poisoning by a mysician was that of Dr. Stephen Eot ros, in Hungary, about twenty-five rears ago. Eotvos undertook to hasten :he death of patients whose cases he considered hopeless by putting them out i )f their misery, as ho termed it, with i fatal drugs. He encountered no opposi ;ion to his peculiar methods of benevo- j ence while ho practiced them on people j >f no particular standing. But when :he doctor hastened the death of a well mown land proprietor named Szlavy, who was slowly dying of cancer, the elatives of the dead man presented a riolent protest and demanded the prose mtion of Eotvos. The physician declared on trial he was ictuated by humane motives and had I nerely eased the journey of Ids victims I :o the inevitable goal. This defense was ! lot accepted by the court. Eotvos was icquitted of malice, but found guilty of lomicide without malice, and sentenced j :o a leng term of imprisonment.?Pitts mrg Leader. Choosing ?lis Own Name.
