" ABOUT PARROTS. PARROTS have a wide ra'n%e, bein% denizens of all tropical and sub-tropica countries, being fl())und as far north as Michigan, and as far south as Terra del Fuego, South America. Their habits are most peculiar, for with a remarkable precision each day they mount on high and wake the morning with song; then, after matins, descenf and pair in search of food. Unlike other birds, alighting immediately on diszovery, they fly around the shrub and bush, gracefully marking | circles, alifht on the ground, then, with a sudden upward flight, settle and commence their repast. The morning meal ended, they assemble in flocks; they make for some convenient stream, plunge in for bath or the perpetration of frolicsome antics on their comrades; the ablution ended, they seek the leafy shade of some quiet grove, and remain so motionless during the heat of the day that they might be in numbers over your head yet you unaware of their presence. At three or four o’clock in the afternoon they again resort to the bath, then partake of supper, and seek some hollow tree, in which , they roost.' Often, when the hole-is full, you will see numbers hanging by their beaks at the entrance. They are gregarious, and the cocoanut groves of Ceylon are- filled with them, making the woods resound with their discordant notes. They are the only birds known to sleep with their heads downward. 5 They prey upon orchards, destroying much young fruit in quest of seed. They would be regarded by agriculturists as a benefit, as their favorite food is cackle-burr, a nuisance to farmers; but they also prey upon corn-ricks and small grain. When one is Kkilled, though the noise of the report temporarily frightens them away, yet they immediately return, and, = hovering over their dead comrade, are readily dispatched by a . second discharge of the gun. In countries where their depredations have

caused great slaughter they have been found to be a niorsel of great delicacy. In South America, where the rainy weather sets in in October, these birds take their flight and remain away until the ripening of the grain, in January or February. As fliers they have; no equals. The sharp-pointed wings afford peculiar advantages to their rapid flight. They remain in the air a long time, and, describing in the most graceful manner, circles, display their upper and under gorgeous ' plumage, remaining in flight atimmense heights, crossing meadow, bog and river in their untiring journey. = In captivity they are docile and tractable, brought to terms by immersion and ‘easily ‘taught to converse, form deep attachments or uncontrollable aversions. 'Their memory lasts through life, that often being a century in length. They remember, with vindictive feelings, an injury, and rarely forgive; their affection for their mates or custodians often, by separation, causes their death. As imitators of the first-class they have been chronicled for centuries; their mischievous pranks, accompanied b{ their Prattle, have made them mue souiirat or and highly Erized as pets. The New Orleans mar¢t contains stands of them each day, and their beautiful plumage and rattling tongue find them ready homes. Parrots often Speak in two or three different languafes,- ~and an African parrot was taught, by an Archbishop, to repeat the entire APostle_s’ Creed. In Australia their wvarieties are most seen, and an :E:flish gentleman, in a short time, made a collection of 200 varieties. The largest sYecies are the most loquacious, esg.)lecia ly where the tail is short. The African bird, in color ashy-gray, with a few red plumes in the tail, for mimicrg of animals, as well as perfect imitation of the human voice, has been most highly esteemed. Among the many anecdotes told of parrots, some sad, otkers gay, one of the most touching was under my ob-

servation. A Lieutenant in our navy some years since brought to his wife Constance a %arrojt. Being her sole companion in her husband’s absence on cruises, they formed a mutual and undying attachment for each other. The lady died, and %oor Polly watched at her bedside wit ﬁdelitﬁ: Her dyinﬁ request was that Polly should be kille and buried with her. This her friends declined to do. At the funeral the bird, though repeatedly carried out, still made his way back to the head of the coffin, where, through the glass, he espied the face of his loved companion. Mournfully would he say, in a subdued voice, -““ Constance, come to Polly.” The bird being repeatedly removed, only to return, the clergyman, a&th%'y again attempted: to carry it out, said, “ Let it alone. Poor bird! he seems, ‘truly, to. be the only real mourner here!”” Itflew high in the air over the funeral cortege, saw the casket lowered, the grave ﬁﬁed,' and, perching itself upon it, refused for three days food or water, and died with the name of Constance on its tgg%ue on the grave it had never dese . Although the learned commentators of Ovid §eclare it was poetic license for him to ime:lgine that the dying J)arrot mentioned the name of its loved mistress with its last breath, yet the preceding anecdote, and another one 'also, under my observation while travelin}; in South America, prove the truth of his assertion. On the Magdalena River, at the Town of Margarita, a Spanish girl, by name Parquita, was induced by a liberai offer: from an English tourist, to part with her parrot. The bird openly rebelled at the separation, but, forced into the measure, perceptibly drooped, only at the landing of the boat rousing herself sufficiently to see if among those on the bank she could descry her mistress, mournfully crying, ¢ Parquita, reuga ca!”’ (Parquita, come here). Discouraged at her unavailing search, she resumed her perch, refused food or comfort, -and perished of starvation, with her last breath uttering ¢ Parquita.”? ¢ T : But from grave to gay, I will now recall some most amusing anecdotes: During the late war Gen. Beauregard gave to Miss Belle Boyd a bird, who, from being a denizen of camp life, had: learned some profanity. One evening, introduced into one of the parlors of the Spottswood Hotel, Richmond, to show its skill at mimicking, was interrogated by Miss Boyd as to what he thought of her gentleman guest (a young aristocratic Lieutenant). Now, he unfortunately having in some way displeased Polly, he did not hesitate, before a parlor filled with guests, to declare: ¢¢Bella, he’s a cursed fool.”” It is needless to say Polly’s punishment for impudence was peremptory banishment. ;| The experience of our townsman, Mr. Snider, in the loss and recovery of one of these birds, furnishes another amusing reminiscence. The parrot in question, a great favorite with Mrs. S., was left in her husband’s care, and the injunction not to forget to clip Polly’s wings was forgotten. Thebird, taking in the situation, concluded on a migratory journey, and, the river furnishing no imlpediment, landed in Covington. The loss of the bird was deeply mourned, and advertisements of her loss for a time were unavailing. Some ten days after the bird’s departure a party called at the residence of Mr. Snider and asked if he were the person who had advertised a lost parrot, at:the same time giving some description of the bird, but said that, ‘‘unless you adduce positive proof it is yours, we are unwilling to give it up.” ¢Well,” said Mr. ' Snider, ‘“ agreed; we will leave the decision to the bird, and if she fails to call my name or recognize me, orhas forgotten me so soon, Ido not wish her.” They crossed the river, and Polly, with cut wing, was sitting un a bush in the yard. . At the sight of her former master, she went wild with joy, and, flying to his shoulder, shrieked, ¢ Snider, kiss your Polly.”’ <“Well,”’ said the Kentuckian, ¢ take her; the evidence is conclusive.” Another bird resident of our city, raised in an auc-tion-room, sells goods all day, repeating ‘“Three dollars, five dollars, don’t 1 hear the ten? Going, going, gone.” At one of our hotels, on a car route, Polly is voted a nuisance by car-con-duotors, as she screams, *‘ Halloo, stop, stop, wait!” often causing the useless halt of the cars and the search for the party who stopped it. A parrot who had conceived a dislike for a lady visitor to its owner noticed that when his mistress said ¢“ good-by’’ peopleleft the house. On the approach of this visitor, wishing to rid herself of the detested female, she adopted the novel expedient of shrieking incessantly, < Good-py, ‘Mrs. Smith!” ¢ Good-by, Mrs. Smith!”’ until it attracted the attention of the ‘lady, and poor Poll was removed.

A bird raised on the wharf of one of our seaport towns caused an accident by repeatin%(a. driver’s orders to his horse to back. The parrot, seeing the wagon brought up daily for merchandise, and hearing the owner of the horse loudly order him to back, one day took advantage of his absence from ‘ the vehicle and ordered poor Dobbin'to ‘“Back, back;” she continuing her orders and the horse, supposing it was his master, obeyed, until he soon went over the dock and found a watery grave. , . These birds live to a very old age, not unfrequently attaining one hundred years. After passing their ninetieth birthday they become generally debili--tated, suffering loss of memory, almost sight and other faculties, resembling strongly the years of dotage of a human being, Ovid claims that in thf Elfysia.n Fielgs, where repose the souls of the ‘birds that are blessed, the parrot receives peculiar homage from its ability to call, as if with the human voice, the: other birds around it. ¢ The scene is one .ingeniously ‘and beautifully imagined.” e gt An anecdote of an English parrot furnished bfy the djstihguiahedp artist Mr. Nece, of this city, savors of Hibernian wit at the risk of poor Polly’s %xisténce. An Irishman in the English Army then stationed in India had turned many a sovereign in the trade of skilled imrrots. Wxshinfg to secure the sale of unother toone of Her Majesty's command, he boasted of the bjrd’s loguacity, who mutely refused to give her new purchaser any evidence of her talking propensities. Nothing daunt-

ed, her owner suggested that darkness as a punisnment often produced the degired effect. An old, deserted well was secured, and Polly, in cage, lowered. The Irishman then said: ‘“Now, Polly, say ‘How are you, Cdptain? and, by listening, the bird apparentiy echoetf her master’s words. Another, and stil another trial was made, with equal success. ‘“Now,” said Paddy, ““what will ye give for her? Are ye satisfied at hearing her sPagke to ye? What will ye give, I say?” ' < Well,” said the officer, ‘ draw her up, and I will make you an offer.” Very unwillingly the bird was brought to the surface, and there, in cage, with head bowed and drooping feathers, she sat dead, havin%' been drowned in the well. Though Polly’s reputation as a conversationalist was not proved, her owner’s extraordinary powers as a ventriloquist were established beyond a doubt. —Cincinnati Enquirer. ;

. Brine for Cleansing Butter. WE have before Eiven the process of cleansing butter, when churned, by the use of saturated brine—that is, brine ‘made as strong as possible—as practiced by quite a number of our firstclass dairymen. In our descriptions, water has been used for cooling down the butter to 55 deg.; and then follows the drawing off the buttermilk and washing the butter with water before using brine. This. has been, if it is not now, Hon. Harris Lewis’ method. He does not churn until the butter is gathered, but leaves it in a loose mass, not packing it together until it has been workef, sa.ltef and allowed to stand in a cool, clean place for twelve or twen-ty-four hours. This is an excellent way, and, if the milk and cream are properly handled, turns out fancy butter. Even if brine is not used, ‘this method of washing and salting before gathering the butter is one that would greatly improve our butter procduct, if g;nerally adopted. It not only secures thorough washing and even salting, but prevents spoiling the,%'rain of the butter by working, very little being re-~ quired. = : ' Another method of washing butter which promises well is that of stopping the churning just before the butter is gathered into a mass, drawing off the buttermilk and pouring into the churn saturated brine enough to float the butter. Agitate the mass gently, at intervals, permitting it to stand half an hour or so. Then draw off the brine and pour in enough more clean brine to float the butter again. - Treat as before, and theh draw it off. The butter will be found to be well cleansed of caseine, and the second batch of brine will not be very milky. If the butter is then gently worked or pressed into a solid mass, it will be found to be just about salt enough to please most palates. If customers like it salter, a little fine” dairy salt can be sprinkled on and stirred into the mass before working or: pressing it into a solid lump. : Butter thus washed in brine, if required for keeping, should not be gathered at all, but put in a loose state in a firkin or other package of brine, and excluded from the air by closing the package. Thus kept in brine, it may be taken out at any future time, slightly worked, so as to make a solid lump of it, and it will be salted about right and have the same new flavor that it did the day it was churned. Such is ‘the testimony of those who have tried this.. If the butter is wanted fresh—that is, free from salt—when taken out of the package of brine, it may have all the salt washed out of it by the use of .cold water before it is worked. - .

The object of letting the butter stand in the brine, in the churn, for a half hour or more, is to give the brine time to dissolve the caseine. Brine is %iven in the books of chemistry as the solvent of caseine. Hence its use enables the butter-maker to free his butter from caseine without the trouble and labor of working and washing. He simply has to stir the loose mass a little so as to bring the brine in contact with all the particles of butter. : The first brine is of no further use, after being drawn from the butter, but to throw on the manure heap. If boiled, it will be found loaded with caseine, and will swell like pure whey. The brine used for the second washing will be somewhat discolored or milky, but boiling shows that it does not contain much caseine. It may therefore be saved fo‘r the first washing the next time. :

Those who use brine for washing butter should have a tub for preparing it, and use only clean, sweet water and Fure salt—such as is ﬂprgf\areﬂd expressy for dairy purposes. The American is as good as any, and is cheaper than the foreign brands. Put into the tub a little more salt than the water will dissolve, so as to be sure and have a saturated brine. What is not dissolved will sink to the bottom after the -necess.ta.l:'g7 frequent stirri:igs; ‘ : he amount of salt required to make the necessary quantity of brine for washing butter is not large nor expensive, in view of the fact that it salts the butter also, and the brine is good for manurial purposes after it has done its work in the dairy.—dmerican Dazryman. e : ;

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. GraEAM GEMS.—Mix to a soft batter Graham flour with cold water; pour into hot, well-greased molds; bake in a quick oven. You will have delicious bread, which can be eaten by the most dyspeptic without injury. Ham BAaLLs.—Mince very fine cold, cooked ham —that which has .been boiled is best, although fried ham will answer if not too salt—add an egg for each person; stir in a little flour and make into balls. Dipinto egg and then in grated bread and fry until of a nice brown. : : ‘ OaTMEAL,—To each cup of coarse oatmeal havg?fl(ipr of cold water and one teaspooniul of salt; put this in an earthen saucepan and let it simmer slowly for one hour; stir it often, as it burns very easily. Should an early breakfast be required, this can be cooked the day before and warmed over, as it cannot be cooked quickly.

REMEDY FOR HOARSENEss.—Horseradish will afford instantaneousrelief in mostobstinate cases of hoarseness. The root, of eourse, possesses the most virtue, though the leavesare good till they dry, when they lose their strength. ‘The root is best when it is green. The person who will use it freely just before beé'innin%l to speak, will not be troubled with hoarseness. : HERE is 8 good cake without eggs: One and one-half cups of milk, tﬁree and two-thirds cups og prepared flour, one heaping cup of sugar, a little salt, and nutmeg (or cinnamon), and plent(:iy of raisins, 65 currants if preferred, When you have stewed prunes, substitute the juice (sweetenetf to taste) for milk; it gives a delicious flavor.—Dr. Foote's Health Monthly for April. To Fry SaLT Pork.—Cut into very thiu slices ahd freshen by letting lie for an hour or more in cold milk or water. Roll in flour and fry until crisp. Drain from the fat and place the slices where they will keep warm. Pour off most of the fat from the frying-pan and stir in, while hot, a tablespoonful of flour—a little more may be added if the gravy be liked thick—and a half-pint of new milk. Season with pepper and salt if not salt enough. Boil up and serve with the crisped pork. L GrAHAM BREAD.—To a pint of warm (not hot) water add half a teacupful of yeast, or a small yeast cake; stir in the Graham meal to a pretty thick batter; let it rise, but not too light; then add meal till as thick as you can stir it, adding a spoonful of sugar or half as much molasses; put it immediately into the baking-pan; let itrise, not too light, and bake. The Graham sours sooner than fine flour, and must not rise too light nor too many times, nor should it be made stiff enough to knead or it will be too dry. : RicH BrowN Soupr. — Take six pounds of lean fresh beef cut from the bone; stick it over with four dozen cloves and season it with a teaspoonful of salt, one of pepper, one of mace and one of ground nutmeg; slice six onions and fry in butter; spread them over the meat after you have put it into the soup-pot; pour in five quarts of water and let it stew slowly for six hours, skimming it well; when the meat is all boiled to shreds strain it, and return the liquar to the pot; simmer slowly, and when reduced to three quarts it is done and may be sent to the table. Rice CrOQUETTES.—To ahalf pound of rice, use two eggs, two ounces of sugar, one quart of milk, one teaspoonful of the essence of vanilla, and three tablespoonsfuls of bread crumbs. Boil the rice in the milk fortwenty minutes; then turn it into a bowl, and add to it the yelks of two eggs, one ounce of sugar, the vanilla, and, after ‘being mixed = well, set aside to cool. When quite cool, roll the rice into small balls and coat them lightly with flour. Having beaten the whites of the eggs, roll the balls in it, and then coat them with the bread crumbs. Fryin fat for two minutes, and serve. SPINACH AND EGgs.—Spinach should never be cooked in water, says Miss Dods. After picking the leaves from the stalk, wash thoroughly in cold water. From the cold water place the leaves in a perfectly dry stew-pan, closely covered, and keep on the fire until the spinach becomes tender. When done, draw off the water that will be found in the pan, and then chop the spinach finely, or rub through a sieve. To every quarter pound of spin‘ach use an ounce of butter, a little pepper and salt, and a half-tablespoonful of cream. Return the spinach to the sauce-pan, add these iniredients and cook ten minutes. Break the eggs in boiling water, into which some‘lemonjuice and a J)inch of salt has been dropped, and cook three minutes. ‘When done,* place on the top of the ‘spinach and serve.

The School-Book Question. [From the South Bend Tribune, March I.] The publications of the old school-book puvlishing house of Cincinnati, Ohis, and its successors, Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., have been adopted for the next six years in nearly every county in the State. This change has been gradnally going on for several years, and was not/ finally accomplished in our own county until last season. To-day it would not take $lO to secure an entire uniformity of books in the county. These works are guar-anteed-to parents, and guardians by the publishe;f, at prices 8o low that it does not really E?y {bookseller to handle them. For jnstance, cGuffey’s Spelling Book, costing in Cincins nati 115 cents, is retailed here at 15 cents. It costs at least three-eighths of a cens to get the book here. The profit is proportionately small on other books. In this county this reduction 1n prices of school-books was brought about by Supt. Moon, and it can be made general throughout the State if Cowmty Superintendents will do their duty as ours has done. For, as stated above, Van Antwerp, Bragg & 0. stand ' ready to furnish the books ata E;mranteed ]Price, and where any over-reach- £ book-seller asks more than this price, will send the books direct to echool districts. Under these circumstances there is no chance for schocl-patrons to pay exorbitant prices for bouks unless the County Superintendent is negligent of the patrons’ interests and ¢¢ gtands in”? with the book-sellers; and, if he is found out in tha. he should be immediately removed by the County Commissioners. In most, if not all the counties in the State, these books have been adopted by the county Board of Education for six years. In this county, for instance, there can be mo change of books until June, 1884, A great advantage resulting from this is that as the older children in a family advance in their studies the books discarded by them can be used by the younger members and a great expense ig avoided. : 2
