One of the Ward line steamers ar. rived here last week with the largest pumber of parrots on board ever brought to this city, says. the New York Recorder. They were the prop- -erty of a set of speculators who fairly «plunged” in parrots,and who counted on making a big thing out of the im- portation. At Tampico a shipment was made of 500 birds. Of course they had to be kept on deck, and matters promised to be lively. When Havana was reached 900 more parrots were hoisted on: board. The clamor be- came awful. No parrot could be in- duced to sleep after 4 o'clock in the morning, and they held a succession of indignation meetings till night, in- troducing into their debates a few ol the unparliamentary expressions in. dulged. in by the rudely awakened passengers. The birds were nearly all very young and not in full plumage. The natives of Mexico are green, with yellow heads, and the Cuban birds quite throw them in the shade with their white heads, red necks, and green and blue bodies. In spite of this grandeu: the Havana . speculator only valued his gaudy stock at a couple of dollars apiece, while the men from Mexicq counted theirs at $4 or $5. The poor little things were scarcely able to eat and the attendants of the Mexican birds spent all day and part of the night administering masses of crackers soaked in milk and water, opening their bills and fairly cram: ming the food down their throats. The others were less fortunate; their dinnér was poked into the boxes, and they ate it or not, as they were able, and in consequence nearly half of them died. Several days from forty to fifty soft little green bodies were thrown overboard. By the time New York was reached they were sufficiently thinned out to make thelr survivors:comfortable. The boxes in which parrots are transported are rough wooden affairs ' six feet by two feet high and deep, the front and back covered with wire netting, and a long, rough perch in- serted. ‘In most cases the birds are packed in as tightly.#8 animals ina succeed in getting down to the food cups. For some mysterious reason na waterisgiven them, except that which moistens the crackers, really a case of survival of the fitest, only a very robust bird living through these days - and nights of torture. Then it is a very bedragged and di- lapidated, tafl-featherless object that is. presented to the inspector's gaze, and it takes fully a fortnight to re- store the smoothness of plumage and stock in trade of 'a parrot.’ I am quite certain and miraculously to interchange tongues, the two nations would shortly undergo some ~unlooked-for altera. tions. I have known several people whose superficial characteristics were quite different according as they spoke French or English, -although: they were as fluent in she one as in the other. I know os one woman who is common and illbred as an Englishwo-~ man, but who, when she speaks French, which she knows well, is ap- ‘ parently well-mannered and rather attractive. Nor, as we reflect, does this seem altogether strange when we consider how much national character has to do with the evolution of lan- guage, and how impossible exact translation is.” I have heard a man say that to read or speak French made him feel gay. and that the effect of Dr. Weir Mitchell, in Century. INTELLIGENCE is gaining groynd slowly but surely. A Michigan Judge reading newspapers does not unfit a man for jury duty. It is a little odd that “an artificial leg only lasts on an -average seven years,” just the period that scientists say all the particles of the human body change and are renewed. “August ‘Flower” Mr. Lorenzo F.

Did you hear of anybody sleeping himself fat? No! Well, it'sa com- mon enough thing, says a physician. Almost every young man who nas lived leisurely all his life until he is thirty will begin to show signs of fat at that age. The usual theory that obtains is that a man only grows fat on the food that he consumes, and technically that theory is all right. But it makes all the difference in the world how a man lives whether a given amount of food taken daily will have any increased effect on his avoir- dupois. There are three simple rules that I try to enforce on men who come to me to be cured of fat. ‘First, I say, “Eat less.” Then, ‘“Work more.” And then, ‘Sleep less.” I have often noticed a curious look in the eye of the patient who is told to sleep less. He inwardly jests at such advice, or he grumbles against it, and concludes vhat it may be disregarded. But let me tell you, sleep is the great fattener. It will produce flesh mere rapidly than anything that I know of. . | faces of the sy Small Feet Rare. An interesting fact was brought out at the historical exhibition in Paris, where specimens of gloves were seen dating back to those of the Gre. cian Empire... The sizes of those gloves were proof indisputa le that among the belles of ancient days, and even those of the middle ages, the tiny hands so common among the wo- ‘men of to-day were entirely unknown. A visit to the Hohenzollern Museum will convince any one that the small foot was equally rare in earlier times, ‘and that, judging from their slippers, the feet of the famous Prussian queens and princesses would do credit t2 adandy in the Grenadier Guards. Orly the beautiful Queen Louise pos- sessed delicate and pretty feet, the satin shoe belonging ta#her lamented and revered majesty seeming like those of a child beside the square- toed No. 6 slippers of the Empress Augusta and the No. 5 wedding slip- pers . belonging to the ex-Empress Fredericks.

George Washington was one of the richest men of his time in America. He attached to his will bearing date of July 9, 1799, a schedule of his tion of the same at $530,000. His es- tate was undoubtedly worth more, ‘and all of $600,000 and even more: The estimate of $530,000 was consid- ered by Washington himself a very low one, for in the notes which ac- companied the will and schedule he frequently refers to the <‘‘moderate value” and *‘lowest price affixed” of the various pieces of property. The Ohio lands included in the estate in- zreased immensely in value. ° How's This ¢ ‘Woe offer One Hundred Dollars reward for any case of catarrh that cannot be cured by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cur HENEY & Co. ops.
