H., on our return home, Not long after I waa walking down Tremont street. Boston, at an hour when It was filled with people, and heard a cry, “Master! M a s t e r ! ” and, ; t u rning la the direction of the voice, ! I found myself opposite a bird-shop, 1 in the doorway of which hung an African parrot. I went over, and asked the proprt- j etor where he found it. He told me ; he had bought it about three months before of a sailor j u s t returned from the coast of Africa. By this I recog nized my old acquaintance, and stopped some time, going over the “ talkee-talkee” it had been familiar with on board ship, and apparently making it very happy. The bird had known me from the thousands pass ing the door.— Our Dumb Animals. Com- A SUMMER STORY. The Indian's t h o u g h t of summer as a beautiful maiden. They called her Nippon, and she came among them in June, clad In green garments. She built her wigwam near the sun, covering it with green leaves and flowers. Nipon had a grandmother, the Rain, who often came to visit her, and who always said to her when she took leave. “ My child, never turn your steps to the north, for Winter lives there, your deadliest foe. If you meet him face to face your beauty will vanish, your green gown will fade, your hair will turn gray and all your strength will go from you.” But Nipon gave Mttle heed to the warning of the Rain. The forbidden country of the north looked strange ly beautiful in the distance. It was a wonderful land, with shining lakes and high blue mountains and bright rolling rivers. She was drawn to ward it against her will, but all the time she heard the voice of the Rain saying: “ Go back— go back— lest the W in ter kill you!” Still she gave no heed, but jour neyed on till it grew bitterly cold, a. \ her green garments grew yel low and faded. At last the wind blew them away, and her long, dark hair turned gray— and then white with the frost, and she lost her strength and could not go back. The Rain-mother missed Nipon from her wigwam. The boughs of leaves were yellow and the flowers were faded— then she knew what had happened; Nipon was a prisoner of grim Winter, way in the North Country. So she called her bravest warriors, the South Wind, East Wind and Warming Breeze, and she bade them hasten and rescue Nipon from the clutches of Winter; and they flew to do her bidding. As they entered the North Coun try, Winter felt ill at ease, so he called his chieftains, the North Wind, the Northwester, the Northeast Wind and all the frosts and sleet and snow spirits. “Fly!” he cried, “fly to the battle! Our foes are coming from the south! ” and he grew smaller as he spoke. There was a mighty battle, but the driving Rain, and the mild South Winds broke down the W inter’s strength until he was forced to set his prisoner free. And Nipon, look ing weary and old, with her white hair, set out on her homeward jour ney, but as she walked the sun grew warmer and the days were longer and the air was softer. She grew younger and younger at each step, until she was fair and beautiful once more. She went on and on, until at last she reached her own wigwam, where she found her grandmother, the Rain, nearly spent with the battle. “ You were disobedient, my daugh ter,\ said the Rain, “see that you never stray again.” But Summer— born again each year— is ever wilful, and grim frozen Winter is her sternest foe.— Wash ington Star. STRANGE BIRDS. The following is from a naturalist who has traveled from this country around the world: “ For many years naturalists heard reports of a mysterious bird which made its home in the solitudes sur rounding the volcano of Soufriere on St. Vincent, in the West Indies. The natives had many superstitions connected with it. one being that anyone seeing the bird would surely die, and as a result they avoided its haunts and It long remained the in visible mysterious bird with the heav enly song. “The mystery was finally dissi pated in 1S76, when Frederick A. Ober made an expedition to the vol cano, and after considerable difficulty and danger from big snakes man aged to secure several specimens. It developed that the bird was a ven triloquist, which explains why its song would often be heard and still the bird not be seen in the spot whence the sound seemed to proceed. “ Certain live birds are put to curious uses. In the northern part of South America the natives often- avail themselves of the services of a species of crane to care for their poultry, and also use it in place of a dog to herd their domestic, fowl. This remarkable bird, which the, In dians call yakamik and the onri- thologists posphia yakamik, is found in a wild state in the great forests that lie between the northern coasts of South America and the Amazon. Their usual gait is a slow and stately march, but they enliven themselves from time to time by leaping up in the air, executing eccentric and fancy waltzes and striking absurd atti tudes. When alarmed they utter the peculiar cry which has obtained foi them the name of trumpeter. “The yakamiks are readily tamed and prove valuable servants to the Indians. They may be trusted with the cat e of a flock of sheep or do mestic fowls and every morning will drive the ducks and poultry to their feeding places and carefully collect ing any stragglers bring them safely home at night.\— Detroit News-Tri bune. A PARROT STORY. Many years ago, when our navy had a station on the African coast, the natives were in the habit of bringing off parrots for sale. They were very pretty birds, of a soft gray color enlivened by touches of red, and their price was a bit of tobacco, a piece of soap, or half a dozen brass rings— any trifle, in fact. The sailors bought a lot of them, and taught them nautical terms. On morning inspections, while the men were at the guns, the parrots to their cages were on the gun-deck The captain bad a habit of clearing his throat before he gave an order: “ Ahem, Starboard, fire!— Port, fire!\ Before he could fairly dtMver it, the parrots would call out: “A h e m ! Starboard, fire!— Port, fire!” And so it went on with other or ders; the birds took them up i n s t a n t ly, to the great' amusement of the captain, officers and men. I was one day performing some duty on deck when one of the parrots lighted on my hand. Intent on my affairs, I threw it off more roughly than I was aware, and It fell rather heavily on the deck. The owner picked it up. and caressed it, saying: “The master doesn’t like parrots, does he?” After that the bird' al ways called me “master\ whenever he saw me. We brought the ship lato Ports- V A PERSEVERING ANT One day while walking through a field I came upon a small anthill. I noticed that the ants went in the hole on the right side and came out on the left. If an ant made a mis take and went in on the wrong side of the hole the ant coming out would walk over him. A closer observation showed that each busy little worker carried a grain of sand, which it de posited not far from the hole. I stuck a blade of grass in the hole and waited to see what would happen. Soon an ant took, hold of one end and pulled with all his might, while three other ants pushed at the opposite end. Together they got it out. The next time I stuck two blades of grass into the hole. The ants removed one, but as they could crawl in and out of the hole, even though the othet blade of grass was there, they did not bother with it. But I one ant was bound to get it out. He fastened his hind legs to a blade of grass which hung over the hole, and fastened his forelegs to the blade which was in the hole, and without the aid of any of the others he pulled it out. — Margaret Brown (age’d thirteen), in the New York Tribune. / Henry F.

They shoe geese in the country round abput Warsaw, in the Vilna district, because the geese have a long annual journey to make— a journey to the goose market. You see, in the late Tall and early winter, a goose market is held at Warsaw, and geese to the number of 5,000,000 congregate in the town. The geese march to market on foot. Some come from 100 and 150 miles away. The average distance they come from is sixty miles, and to pro tect the feet on this long journey they are shod. To shoe the geese the gosseherd first makes llicm walk back and forth in melted tar. With a coat of tar on their feet they then walk through fine sand. The result Is that they are shod with a good, strong shoe of mixed tar and sand, that protects them well on their Journey to the Warsaw goose market.— Philippine Gossip.
