THE YOUNG FOLKS. A Collection cf ArecdcUs About Dog?, Cats, Parrot tzl Uoikejs. Tb Parrot and tbe Dogs Monkeys on the Railroad A Cat Fishing for Oysters A leathered Whistler, Etc. The I'arrot and the Dogs. IBoston Record. In rcy youth I was accustomed to reading stories of animals that were worth while. Here are a couple that I have kept in my scrap-book. One of them I pasted there in the year 1819 and the other about 1S21, when I was In college. The first is related by Sir "William Temple, and is afcottt a Brazilian parrot which Prince Waurice met in bis travels. "I had a mind," paid Sir William, "to know from Prir.ce Maurice's own mouth tbe account of a common and much credited story of an old parrot he had seen in Urazil during his government there that spoke and a3ked and answered common questions like a reasonabls creature. Prince Maurice said that there was something true, but a great deal faJse, of what had been reported, lie had heard cf such a parrot when he went to Brazil, and though he believed nothingof it, and it was a good way off; he had the curiosity to send for it; that it was a very great and a very old one, and when it came into the room where the Prince waj with a good many Dutchmen about him said, presently: ''What a company of white men are here!' "Ttey asked it what it thought that man was, pointing at the Frince. It answered: " 'Some General or other. "When they brought itj close to him he atked it : " 'Whence came you?' "The Parrot From ilirannan. "The Prince To whom do you belong? " The I'arrot To a Portuguese. " Tha Prince What do yoa do there? "The Tar rot I look after the chickens. "The Prince laughed, and said: " ' You look after the chickens?' ".The parrot answered : "Yes, l:and I know how tu do it very well.' " And then he made the chuck, chuck, chuck, three.or four times that people use to make to chickens when they call them. set down the words of this diolc4rue," continues Sir William, "just as Prince Maurice said them to me. I asked him in what lanpuare the parrot conversed, and he said in Brazilian. I asked him whether he understood Brazilian. He said no; but he had taken care to have two interpreters with him. one a Dutchman who spoke Brazilian, and the other a Brazilian who spoke Dutch; that he asked them separately and privately, and both of them agreed in telling him just the same thing that the parrot st.id.' " "The other story," says thv. historian's venerable correspondent, "is from the English travels of Don Manual Espriella. He tells how the Knghah roasted tneir enormous t'ointsof meat by means of a wheel turned iy dogs, and how these dogs, belonging to a breed called turnspits, were trained by putting a burning coal in such a way that the dog had to run to keep from burning his legs. These . dogs,' saya Don Manuel, are by no means fond of their profession; it is indeed hard work to run in a wheel for two or three hours, turning a piece of meat twice their own wpi"M Tt cid rf tho in Tih tt lo ft i d w tl known to be infested with a host of monkey?. Having no other mode of occupying their dull hours, they are bent upon trying to destroy the railroad track on the Tumkur lice. "It would appear that these animals, about fifty cr sixty, form themselves Into t o companies. They range themselves systematically, cne-half cn one rail, and the other half on the other. They begin by first removing the earth from the sides ef the rails. Then they arrive at the diiiiculty of nuts and bolts, which, thongh they examine them very minutely, they can not get over. On the approach of the np or down train, they will wait till the engine is within a few yard?, when, with the utmost coolness, they simply jump on one side till the train has passed, and then resume their work. "A remarkable. instance occurred on one of these occasions. As the engine was ap proachirg the monkeys made their usual jumps, with tbe exception of one, who persisted in remaining on the line, the engine by tbia time being very near. Five or'six moBkeyp, seeing the danger one of their number was in, made a sudden rush and dragged him off. some laying hold of him by the tail, others by the legs; they saved him. They are now styled tbe Niddivunda gangmen by the guards and drivers." Whipple's Faithful Doc. Mr. Whipple's constant companion at his home wa3 a Skve terrier dog; he used to call him "beamtifufiy ugly." He was quite a large animal of that breed, and had a large head, with an uncommonly broad brow, and a lavish growth of long hair overshadowed the most lustrous and sympathet'c pair of eyf s ever teen in a dog. It was a delight to see him romp with hia pet, who had as sweet and affectionate a nature as any h lraan being. A short time before Mr. Whipple's death the anmal was sent into the country for a summer outing, and when he returned in the autumn and missed his old master the dog became sad and sick. He was sent to tbe veterinary department of the Harvard College for treatment. He came home on Monday last, languishing and much emaciated, to die. He was placed in a box and buried at bi3 summer home, by moonlight. At the same house where the dog was left for the summer tLere wa3 an Kcglish pa dog wbich was great favorite, and many a day this last su mer they have sported over tbe iieics together. As soon es Mr. Whipple's favorite was carried out for burial, the Eng'.ish peg seemed to know, in some mysterious way, that b:i eld frend anl co nisnicn was in the box. and he leaped on the box end bowled and wailtd and showed other sins of great grief, and bad to be forcibly taken off before his companion could be buried in the corner of the garden, where this bright and animated bit of animal life In such; superabundant; spirits sported in full enjoyment of life tbe last summer. A l eathered AI Mittler. I New York Journal. At Charles Reiche's bird store, in Tark Kow, yesterday, there waa a wonderful performance from one of the rarest birda In existence, called "the poe," about the size of a dove, with black plumage, except around tbe neck, where the feathers are r( a grayish color. The throat is adorned with a tuft of pore white downy feathers. Ita shape ia that ef the humming-bird, and, in fact, naturalists have classed it among that species. The bird, with ita mate, waa captured in New Zealand, and it is said that the pair and another that ia under training in Europe are the only ones that are in captivity, and that tbe bird is so scarce in New Zealand that very few of ita kind have ever been fonnd. While the reimrter waa axaminine the fcejLuWaJ tixd M',:adwit pmiea ?tt

whistle, vhen the bird immediately straightened on its perch and began to whistle in clear, tiate-like tones the notes of an operatic air, and then, as if applauding ita performance, the bird Mapped its wings and uttered in clear and distinct tones: "It is good, pretty b'rd." ''The education of the bird," said the manager, "is efi'ected by keepins it continually in a room to itself and playing on the tlute daily such notes as you wibh it to imitate, and it ia wonderful how quickly this bird received its education. This one wni sties several tunes and ia a great talker. But you must come in the morning before it is fed in order to hear it at its besu This bird we value at $130." A Cat Fishing for Oysters. IMcadvillo, Fa., Tribune. J The following novel scene was witnessed a short time ago in front of an establishment the principal business of which.is dealing In oysters: A measure, in the bottom o ' which were a few oysters, sat on a bench. A cat, with an evident taste for bivalves, sar artistically balanced on the top of the measure, while, with his right fore-paw, he reached down among the oysters, occasionally bringiEg a nice large one to tbe surface. The cat was doubtlessly an old-timer, and had fished for oysters before, and whenever he succeeded in making a good catch he wonld quietly jump down, take the bivalre in his jaws, and walk back of and probably under the building, after a few moments reappearing and watching his opportunity to steal another ojstcr. Fob fr Indoors. The following game from the Pansy will be interesting for the children. Try it: Brins a newspaper into a room; a large one, for it seems more reasonable, as you go on to a&k: "Can you and yoa (pointing to two members of the family circle) stand on this paper which I may spread on the floor, yet not touch each other?" "Nonsense!" "It can't be done!" "Impossible!" will greet your ears. Make them try, Mary. Encourage them now and then by telling them how you and Tom have done it. Give it to two others after the first two have tried long enough, until all kave exhausted j their ingenuity. Finally take it yourself hen they have all laughed long enough over the ridiculous trial, and go to the doorsill; over it lav your paper. "Now, Tom," you call, "take your place." Tom goes out over the paper and stands on his half as it lies over the sill. Then shut the door, and you put your two feet squarely on your half of the paper in the room. A shout will greet you. It is one of the neatest tricks if brightly played. KNOTTY PROBLE-HS,

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR.

Bismarck baa set his heel on the Socialists, but a EDake-bite in the heel is as bad aa arywhere else. FitUburg Commercial-Gazette. I wocld like to see this world so that a man could die and not feel that he had left wife and children a prey to the greed or avarice or necessities of mankind. Colonel IngersoU. It can hardly be deemed a proof of bad judgment in Lord Randolph Churchill that he stepped out of the Salisbury Cabinet before it was mired in the Irish bogs. Philadelphia Record. Sich a line as thh won't answer, Mr. Tennyson : "City children soak and blacken soul and seme in city slime." It occurs in your new poem, but it is entirely too much on the 1 'e ter-Pi per-picked - a - peck - of - pickledpeppers order of poetry. Chicago Times. The first great remedy is in the ballot. The poor are in the majority. If the law oppresses them then it is their own fault. They have followed the fife and the drum of sc me party. Ho man should go with a party unless it ia going hia way .IngersoU. It will be a sorry time for industry when the imaginings of Congressmen or of any body are substituted in the place of the natural demands of commerce to determine bow much paper currency is required. Horace White in Political Science Quarterly. Bit a society that will provide work for all, and support to the sick and feeble, is something still to be sought for. How shall we see to it that no one of this great class sutlers either for want of work or want of proper aid? This is a question suggested by the Christmas chimes. Eugene Lawrence in Harper's Weekly. But what can we do with these "evil" prismatic eyes of ours? We can not change them into clear and perfect lenses by a whh or by one earnest eflort. It takes an optician a long time to shape and polish a lens. And we must be willing to work patiently and hard to undo the wrong we have done. If there is any suspicion in our hearts that our eyes are "evil," we must not rest a moment. We must test the matter at once by a close and prayerful study of the truth. We must give up our theories and creedo and go to the world itself, comparing Scripture with Scripture, willing to receive all that the spirit teaches. The Interior. There is not so safe and conservative a Government in the world as our own. In forty -eight hours an unruly Parliament could efiect a revolution and overthrow the Government of Great Eritain. Our Government is strong; our late war waa but a reconstruction of its foundations. We have had in our 100 jears of Presidents a class of rulers who have surpassed the rulers ot any other country on the globe. Compare them with the Georges; with rulers of Spain and of France! Don't forget that the Lord and your country have demands on yon for what yon have of talent. To be a politician in the best sense is second only to being a minister of the Lord Jesns Christ. Senator Hawley's Talk to Young Men. Two of the members (Jaehne and McQuade) of the famous board have been disposed of according to their jnst deserts, and there ia no doubt that a very general popular dfbire exifeta that the next example tc be made in the case should be one of the biibers tarough whose greed and scheming the great conspiracy against the interest of the city was inaugurated and brought to a profitable ending for the conspirators. Strict justice will never be fully accomplished until every one connected with this infamy 18 either landed in the penitentiary or made to disgorge the money filched from the pockets of the tax-payers. The District Attorney has done so well np to this that it is safe to conclude he will not now neglect this important side of the case. New York Irish American. That the Republican party is not restricted to one nor two nor three men for available candidates for the Presidency will become apparent upon studying the following limited list: Maine has Blaine and Tom Reed. The latter has no personal quarrels with great leaders of the party, and no factional diflicultle?. iiassachusetts has ex-Governor Long among other strong men. Connecticut baa General Hawley, one of the best in the front rank. New York has Levi T. Morton. Pennsylvania presents ex-Governor and General Bartranft. Ohio has John Sherman, Governor Foraker and Major McKinley. Indiana has General Ben Harrison, General Gresham and ex-Governor Torter. Illinois ia proud of her Oglesby and Cmlom. Wis consin can present Governor and General Jerry Rusk and General Fairchild. Iowa has Senator Allison, Minnesota has ex-Senator Windom, Kansas her brilliant Ingalla, and Nebraska her able and gallant Senator, General Manderson. Dayton, Ohio, Journal. The body's recutcrative resources are not equal to every need, but they are very great. It is bf cause of this even that the well man tends to keep well, if he conforms to nature's laws, for the system is ever full of poison from its own waste, the disposal of which nature has provided for better than any city has for the disposal ot its deadly sewerage. Take the case of an ordinary wound. It needs only to have its disrupted parts brought together and nature does the beating; and even in many cases where the parts are not brought together nature fills up thespace with new flesh. So nature will mend a broken bone on the simple condition that the adjusted parts be allowed the requisite rest. Dyspepsia, whether induced by improper eating, the neglect of exercise, brain overwork or care, worry and fret, will in time wholly disappear on removal of the cause and compliance with the laws of nature.

Mr. Mark Aisthony died at Hampsteal. near London, on December 1, in his scv entieth year. Twenty-five years ago he was in the first rank of English landscape paint ers. His pictures, "Beeches and l-eras. "Nature's Mirror," "The Monarch Oak" and "Stratford-on-Avon," not to mention many more, were exhibited at the Royal Academy and attracted notice as excellent and thor oughly English landscapes. Besides these. he exhibited many works at the Gallery of .British Artists, Suffolk street. He gave up his membership of this society in order to become a candidate for the Royal Academy, and, on falling to be elected there, he fell between two stools and found himself without a gallery where he could exhibit by right. Gradually he dropped out of Bight of the public, and new methods of landscapepainting came in which led him to be con sidered old-fashioned and obsolete. Thought It Was a Ghost. lErie, Ta., Sunday Gactte. Notwithstanding the fact that there is a law requiring the closing of saloons on Sunday, there is a certain place in South Erie the proprietor of which is not over-scrupulous about such matters, and in a quiet way allows the back door open on Sunday night. Last Sunday night the room was filled with a company who were quietly amusing themselves until, becoming somewhat muddled at a late hour, they began to disperse, when a strange apparition appeared. A womau, strangely attired in black, came gliding in, and, uninvited, took a seat "What do yon want?" courteously inquired the saloon-keeper. "Child of mortality, I want souls," she replied, in holJow, sepulchral tones. The half-drunken,;awe-8tricken by-stand-ers could stand no more, and rushed out, leaving the perpleied proprietor in a corner. "Are we a!l alone?" the woman timidly inquired, after they had left. "We are all alone," was the reply. The woman arose and removed her mask, revealing a face of marvelous beauty. "My God! Mary, have you risen from the dead?" the saloon-keeper cried. The rest of the story is soon told. Some years ago a promising young man left his country home to seek his fortune. For a few months he wrote hopefully to his friend?, but as the months advanced thfcie letters became more brief, and finally ceased altogether. Rumors came to the quiet farm-house that he had fallen into bad company, and that he was dissipated and going to ruin as fast as the devil of drink could send him. Friends wrote kind letters expostulating with him, but without avail. At last Mary, his twin sister, could stand tbe strain no longer, and sought him out. She was the strange apparition that visited the saloon. Somehow her brother had been informed that she was dead, hence his surprise when she lifted her veil. The conversation between the long separated brother and sister seems to have made a deep impression. He has promised her that be will return to the old home, and that he will not buy, sell or use anything that can intoxicate as long as he lives. lloton Society Episode. Boston Herald. 1 Introductions of strangers are apt to be at all times a trifle embarrassing, but particularly so at crowded receptions, where people are sprung on each other without the least preparation. The other afternoon a man was walked up to a lady by the hostess, presented, and abandoned to hi3 fate, the lady having cenght only her own name, which certainly did her no good. A keenness for hearing one's own patronymic is not natural, but in this instance it was the stranger's name she desired to know, for his face was new, and evidently he was not of Bstoo, nor Bostonee. However, hoping it would dawn upon her lateT on, Ehe began to chat in the customary small-talk-reception vein, and then, seeing Mile.

FOTHERINGHAM IN A NEW ROLE.

Said To lie an Accomplice In the Mulder of Kellogg Nichols. Chicago Herald. 1 "What about that Chicago printer who is said to have cot $2,000 for getting up the bogus Adams Express letter-heads in connection with tne Frisco train robbery?" was asked of air. Pinkerton. " e arrested him four days ago. "Where la he now?" "We let him eo ; we got $1.700 from him and then sent him off." "Are you working on the Rock Island robbery case?" "Yes, sir." "Is it true that you have an important clew?" "I won't say," "Is it true that you have discovered that there is a connection between the 'Frisco and Rock Island train robberies?" "I won't say." "Is it not true that you have a man now under arrest that you believe to have been connected with the Rock Island express robbery, and that vou are after the man who killed Kellogg Nichols?" "I won't say." "Is it rot true that Wappenstein is now after tbe Nichols murderer and knows where to find him?" At this Mr. Pinkerton became impatient, and, rising from his chair, said: "I won't talk on that matter." It was learned yesterday beyond much doubt that the Pinker tons had receiv?d an important clew In connection with the Ilock Island train robbery of the United States Express Company, and that they .expect to rapture some of the criminals in a few days. Indeed, it is believed that they have one of tbem already. There is a well-founded repert that Wappenstien has gone to a foreign country after the murderer, on the strength of a confession made by one of the men now under arrest for the 'Frisco train robbery, and that man, it is hinted, is Fotheringham. Mr. Pißkerton practically admitted last evening that he knew from the beginning that Fotheringham was in the plot. Known by Their Foreheads. IXew York Mall and Express.l "I can not express an opinion on the subject of palmistry, or even upon phrenology,'-' said a well-known surgeon to a reporter recently, "for I have never stndied either of them, but I do know that the forehead has a language of its own. By studying it the character of the person can be determined almost to a certainty. Take a man who has a very retreating forehead, which is low and shallow, you will find him deficient in intellect. If only slightly retreating, or what appears to be retreating from the fullness of the forms over the eyes, you will find him very susceptible, very imaginative, es well as humorous and witty. Ride on an elevated train some day and compare the foreheads of those persons you know with such of their characteristics as you may be acquainted with, and you will find that those noted as being slow and dull will have very projecting foreheads. On the other hand, among men noted for their solid understanding, powers of concentration and studion8 habits, you will find a perpendicular forehead, rather high and well rounded at the terupks. Note a man whose forehead is crossed perpendlcalarly between the eyebrows with wrinkles of the same length. Yon may be sure he is an ill-tempered man. Wrinkles, however, of unequal length indicate deep thought. Sensitiveness and geniality are shown by a low arched forehead, full at the temples, and, when combined with a great fullness over the eyes, denotes an improvable and idealistic nature. Persons possessing poetic, ardent and sensitive naturesjnot unfrequently have a bine vein forming a letter "y" in an open, smooth and low forehead. High, narrow, wholly unwrinkled foreheads, over which the skin is tightly drawn, show a weakness of will power and a lack of imagination or susceptibility, while foreheads not entirely projecting, but having knotty protuber ances, give vigor of mind and harsh, oppressive activity and perseverance. I have used this philosophy of the forehead for many years in my practice, and attribute much 01 my success to its understanding A Sparker'a Brilliant Question. ILowellCitizen.l The diamond mine lately discovered in Kentucky, which was to bring the sparkling gems within the reach of all, has already given out. Our girls wul have to wait till they find another before we ask her, " ill you be mine?" Scrofula Is one of the most fatal scourges which afflict mankind. It ia often inherited, but may be the result of improper vaccination, mercurial poison, uncleanliness, and various other causes. Chronic Sores, Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous Humors, and, in some cases, Emaciation and Consumption, result from a scrofulous condition of the blood. This diseaso can be cured by the use of Aycr's Sarsaparilla. I inherited ascrofulous condition of th blood, which caused a derangement of my whole system. After taking less than four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I am Entirely Cured and, for the past year, have not found it necessary to use any medicine whatever. I am now in better health, and stronger, than eyer before. O. A. WLUaxd, 218 Tremont st, Boston, Mass. I was troubled with Scrofulous Sorea for rive years; but, after using a few bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the sores healed, and I have now good health. Elizabeth Warnock, 51 Appleton street, Lowell, Mass. Some months ago I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores on my leg. The limb was badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of off eneive matter. Every remedy failed until I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By taking three bottles of this medicine the sores have been healed, and my health is restored. I am grateful for the good it has done me.

GKNERAL LOGAN'S SlDDEN DE1TH Is a great Ehock to the nation. Few knew that he waa eves indisposed when the new3 of bis death flashed over the wires, and thousands of people stood aghast at the sudden change from health and vigor to cold and Eilent death. For the past twenty-five years there has been no man more constantly before the public than General John A. Logan. Through all hia career he has been noted for his fearlessness and purity of character, both in public and private life. Loved by friends and respected by enemies, he will be mourned by all. His death adds another to the long list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so common as rheumatism, none is more sudden or daagerou3, and there is certainly none which so completely hafiles medical skill. Only one remedy has yet been discovered which is a sure and safe cure for rheumatism and its twin disease, neuralgia, and that is Athlophoros. In thousands of cases Athlophoros has proved a quick and certain cure for theEe diseases. In connection with Athlophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect a cure. In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases, which are far more dangerous than Is generally considered. KbcumatJsm, even though in a very mild form, is extremely dangerou?, for it is liable at any moment to eo to the heart and cause

instant death. A hy trine with a disease so fatal when a certain cure can be obtained of any druggist? Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the draggrist the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, lndipcf tion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases of women, constipation, headache, impure blood, etc., Athlophoros Pills are nnequaled.
