S. MoCiure CtMnoany • oe)o«osto«oe)oe)*o«o»o«)o»o«o» Deacon Hardy bad no more thought of keeping a pet parrot than of Installing a pig tn the parlor, but he wasn't proof against circumstance. His sister uut In Ohio "went and got on her dying bed," as be explained It, and be was sent for to bid ber n lust farewell. There was only one tblng on her mind, and she proceeded to state lt. She bad owned n parrot for many years, und Bbe wonted to be assured of Its future liefore she closed her eyes. The eat, which would also be left behind, could tret along some way, nor did she eare what became of ber quilt frames and tintirons, but that parrot must find a home wltb u Christian family. The brother cheerfully offered his refuge nnd promised to bring roily up In the way she should go. When the funeral was over, be started for bis home In the east with tbe big tin cage In tow. The parrot had been silent for u week, and the deacon's heart had warmed townrd her. He tigured It out that she realized the situation and wos doing n proper amount of mourning. Tbe deacon's wife welcomed Polly as a relic of the dear deported and wos solicitous tbat she should feel perfectly nt home, when something happened. The bird suddenly found her tongue nnd cried out: "What In blank alls this blank crowd anyhow?" The deacon was hoeing potato.' ln bis back yard, and when Aunt Mary staggered out lo him ond told him.the awful news be couldn't believe his senses. "You nre a little deaf in your right ear, you know," he finally replied, "and must bave got things mixed up. 1 know tbat my dear sister Ellen never taught that bird anything but words ont of the good book. Let us go lu and see." They entered tbe kitchen, where Tolly was roosting on tbe back of a chair. As they stood before her she cocked her head and saluted them with: "Now I lay me down to sleep." "Didn't I tell you so?" suid the deacon as his troubled look was replaced by a smile of relief. "I thought lt was swearing, but 1 must have been mistaken," reluctantly admitted Aunt Mnry. "Well, I'm glod on't It would be Jest awful to have a swearing parrot around." Three days later, as Tolly sat on n perch near tbe gate, Mrs. Slmpkins come along on ber way to the store nnd stopped to look ut ber. She had scarcely come to a halt when she was saluted wilh: "Who In blank are you?" It wus a stunning blow, and Mrs. Slmpkins felt her bead swimming round and round. Before she could recover tbe bird yelled out: "Let's bave another beer!" Then Mrs. Slmpkins screamed, nnd Deacon Hardy and his wife rushed nut lo the gate to see whut was the niut- ler. Wben she repeated Tolly's language, or us much of It as she dared, lhe deaeou smiled and replied: "It's another mistake. You never beard n parrot talk before, aud you got his words twisted up. My door deceased sister tolsl me over and over again that he was a religious bird and tbat he never suid anything but"— "Honor thy t'other and thy mother," Interrupted Tolly. "Didn't 1 suy so!" exclaimed the deacon as he rubbed bis bunds together. "Amenl ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the bird. Mrs. Slmpkins had to give It up, though as sbe continued on her way she couldn't belp but wonder whether she wus growing deaf or abisciitiiiiud- ed. Polly had no more surprises that day, but on tbe next, as the staid nnd dignified village justice of the peace was passing along on the opposite side of tbe street, a voice cried out to him: "Hello, you old villain! What in blank ails you?" Tbe justice paused and looked around. He wns alone on the street, The words could have been addressed to no oue else. He crossed over the road nnd saw Tolly on her perch. Just then Deacon Hardy came around the corner of tho bouse with n hoe ln bis hand. "There's sucb a thing us contempt of court!" solemnly observed the justice. "What's the matter?" asked the deacon. "Your parrot bus called me names and used profane language." "But she couldn't have. Sbe knows nothing but good words. My dear deceased sister spent neurly all her time for five years in teaching tbis poor bird to"- "Bretbren and sisters, let us all Join ln tbe singing," solemnly announced Polly. "Any profane language about tbat?" asked the deacon over the fence. "If lt wasn't ber, lt was some boy hidden around here," replied the Justice. "I guess lt was a boy, and I'm sorry I laid lt to the parrot. I never thought much of parrots, but I ain't saying thnt a religious parrot ain't all right." Tolly realized thnt she hud bad a narrow escape, and for the next three days she chattered of nothing worse than Moses ill the bulrushes and Daniel ln the lions' den. She wns establishing her reputation on n foundation of rock when Uncle Absalom Flint came along driving a pig. He wns closely followed by Aunt Sally Warner opposite Deacon Hardy's gate the pig triid to bolt and it took the united efforts sif Absalom, tlie minister uml Aunt Sally to prevent it. The three shouted, and the pig squealed, and Deacon Hardy uud bis wife got out lust iii ume to hear Polly lead off with: | "What iu blank is the matter uow?" Five human beings and a bog held their breath. "Chuck him out! He's a blank loaf- ■?r!" The hog passed on, and tbe five humans gathered closer together. "It's profanity:" solemnly whispered the minister. "It's reg'lnr swearln'l" added Aunt Sally. "He'B a-eussln' of us!" groaned Ab- suli.m. "lt seems so, It seems so, but how ean It be?" replied Deacon Hardy. "My dear deceased sister had the bringing up of this bird and"— "Little children, love one another!" Interrupted Tolly. '•There—you hear that? That Isn't ■wearing. Sister Ellen wouldn't have had no swearing parrot iiround her. She labored with this bird day In and day out to"— "Oh, you go to lilunk!" suid Tolly. The minister und Aunt Sully walked away together shul im: their beads, nnd Absalom went ufter his pig with grief in his heort. Deacon Hardy and wife looked nt eueh oilier for a long minute, und then he suid: "lt must be profanity." "Yes, it must be," admitted Aunt Mary. "Then I must wring Iiis nock and bury him In the back garden. Poor sister Ellen! Ahum! She must have meant the ent instead of the parrot!" I S.--.

A flight of birds changed the history of America under the following circumstances: When Columbus sailed westward over the unknown'Atlantic, he expected to reach Zlpangu (Japan). After several days' snil from Gomera, one of tlie Canary islnnds, he became unt'iisy nt not discovering Zipangu, Which, according to his reckoning, should hnve been 216 nautical milea more to the east. After a long discussion he yielded to the opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the commander of the Pinta, and steered to the southwest. Pinzon wns guided in his opinion by a flight of parrots toward the southwest. The effect of this change in his course curiously exemplifies the Influence of apparently trivial events In the world's affairs. Had Columbus kept his original route he would have entered the gulf stream, reached the coast of Florida nnd then probably been carried to Cape Hatterns and Virginia. The result would probably have been to give the present United States n Itoman Catholic Spanish population instead of a Protestant English one, a eireumstnnce of immeasurable importance.

The disease that lias at. last yielded to medical research is the long unconquerable Bl'lght's Disease, that a*" for so ninny years hold physi cians' skill at bay, and its victims at its mercy. The patient in this case is said to have been a young girl named Alice Maud l'urkor, and two doctors who diagnosed her case gave it as theii unalterable opinion thut Brlghts' Disease bad her in its dutches, and thai only the grave awaited her. The parents, unwilling to give up tho struggle while lifo remained, are saisl to have experimented with special preparations, and us a last resort pinned their faith to Dodd's •Xldney Pills, with the result that to-day th.i girl is in the best of health. 1 let ails of tho cure are not yet to hand, but it will bo investigated, as both tlio medical fraternity and tho public are deeply interested in the I matter.

Wheat has great drawing properties. The government members of tlie legislature held a caucus at Victoria during' the week and coast reports say the result is seen in tlie enlarged smile on the faces of the faithful, Great is the power of the caucus. Coast saw and shingle mills are credited with tbe intention of replacing their Mongolian labor with white men. Increased wages are to be given and even then tbe whites prove in the end to be cheaper. Mongolians are dear at any price. Canadian customs receipts ketsp up their steady increase, the figures for the eight months ending February '28 being S2;U:M.()42. being ,12,758,882 greater than for the same period eliding with February, 1902. Por February the collections were .$2,681,176, an increase of 1859,844. The C.P.R. means to become a power on sea as well as land. They have recently purchased fourteen vessels of the Elder-Dempster line running to England, giving the company, with their Pacific fleet, a tremendous leverage on a world-wide business.
