Moor- head saloon men are on the anxious seat and awaiting developments.

The Parson Bird. Among the feathered inhabitants of New Zealand there is a bird called the parson_ bird, or tui. It is about the size and shape of a blackbird, but has a palr of delicate white tufts at its throat and is a glossy dark green oth- erwise, which looks black in the sun- shine. It can be taught to crow, to speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides these tricks, it has a repertory which is not often equaled by any other feathered songster. At vespers it has a note like the toll of a bell or the clear, high ncte of an organ. It cap mimie every bird in the bush to per fection. It will break off in the mid dle of an exquisite melody and indulge in a strange melody of sounds which are impossible to describe, but if you can imagine “the combination of a cough, a laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing of a pane of glass,” it will be some approach to the idea. Where He Made His Money. Years ago a gentleman settled in the south of England and became very popular in the neighborhood. The county families could never discover how he had made his money, but were satisfied by his solemn assurance that it was not in trade. Nothing could exceed the ordinary gravity of his demeanor, which indeed caused him to be placed on the commission of peace, but now and then, without any apparent provocation, he would burst into such a laugh as no one ever heard before except in one place Where they could have heard it puz- zled the county families for five and twenty years, but at last he was be- trayed unconsciously by his own grandchild, who, after a visit to a trav eling circus, innocently exclaimed, “Why, grandpa laughs just like the clown!’—James Payn. ARTISTS’ EMBLEMS. In Whistler's Butterfly Could Be Found the Monogram J. W. The mystic emblem or device of a sort of Whistlerized: butterfly was adopted in the sixties by the eécentric genius James Abbott Whistler, who changed his name later to James Mc- Neill Whistler. Close study will reveal that this pe- culiar scroll is really a monogram of J. W. The earliest of the etchings to bear the butterfly is *Chelsea Wharf” (1863), but many paintings and etch- ings after that date are sxgned *“Whis- tler.” Artists have sometimes signed their pictures in some distinct form instead of their names. It generally was done when the name might suggest some emblem or symbol. Thus Hieronymus Cock demarked two fighting cocks on his panels; Mari- otto Albertinelli signed a cross with two interlaced rings, referring to the sacerdotal duties to which at one time of his life he devoted himself; Martin Rota, a wheel; Pieter de Ryng, a ring with a diamond; Glovanni Dossi, a bone; Del Mazo Martinez, a hammer; Lionello Spada, a sword. i Sometimes caprice dictated the selec- tion, as when Jacopo de Barberi used the caduceus, or Mercury rod; Hendrik de Bles an owl, Lucas Cranach a crowned serpent, Cornelius Engel- brechtsen a peculiar device resembling a weather vane and Hans Holbein a skull. HIS GREAT IDEA. The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral That Goes With It. A good theory that won’t work isn't half as good as a poor one that will. Twenty years ago a young man just out of college had a great idea. He was going to tin plate tomatoes. There was to be no more troublesome paring and cooking and canning to preserve tomatoes throughout winters. It would be necessary only to drop a nice ripe tomato into his tinning solution and it would come out coated with tin and would keep for twenty years. In fact, there wasn’t any reason why it should not keep forever! The young inventor figured it would cost him 50 cents a gallon to make” this tinning solution. It surely would sell for $2 a gallon. Every one eats toinatoes—that is, near- ly every one. Everybody would eat them if they could always have a nice tin plated tomato lying around. He ought to sell a million gallons a year. That would be a profit of a million and a bhalf dol— Well, no tin plated toma- toes are on the market yet, and the man who invented them is still making only $15 a week. The moral of this is that whenever you hear of a great idea that is going to reform or uplift the world make sure that it is not of the tin plated tomato brand.—Chicago Tribune. A Lottery Romance. A few years ago, as the date for the drawing of the annual Christmas lot- tery at Madrid was approaching, a poor mechanic of Corunna was awakened three consecutive nights by the num- ber 125,869, apparently spoken in his ear. So impressed was he by the repe- tition of the incident that he wrote down the number and jocularly said to his wife. “That number will win the first prize in the great lottery.” “Then why don't you buy the ticket?” his wife answered jokingly as she looked at the figures. “Why, see, if you add them together they just come to my age. 1 shall be thirty-one on Christmas day.” The ticket, after much trouble, was tound (it had been reject- ed a few minutes earlier by a wealthy citizen of Corunna) and bought, and before many days had passed the me- chanic and his wife were made jubi- lant by the news that the ticket had won the first prize of £200,000.—Lon- don Globe. The Red Shirt. The origin of the “red shirt”—worn as a blouse by English women in the sixties, when Garibaldi was a popular idol throughout Great Britain—is suffi- ciently curious. When the celebrated filibuster was warring in the South American republics he was anxious to obtain a distinctive and, above all, economical uniform for his followers. He learned that a local dry goods store had an immense “job lot” of these garments, worn by the “sala- deros,” or cattle slaughterers. of the great South American eities. The *bar- gain sale” appealed eloquently to the leader’s purse, and he led bis men to victory in the butchers’ shirts, which are now the accepted emblem of the “risorgomiento” of United Italy.—Lon- don Globe. A Little Temperance Tragedy. “Don’t drink any more, John. You've got too much already.” “No, I haven't.” “Yes, you have, and you’ll be drunk again.” “Aw, what do you want to worry about that for? It’s me that has the headache next morning.” “I know, John, but it’s me that has the heartache all the time.”—New York Times. The Price of Love. Says an advertisement in the London Express: “Mary—Waited thrfee hours at appointed spot until questioned by suspicious policeman. If this is the price of love it is too heavy a one for me to pay. Farewell. Potts,” - Time and Patience. No road is too long for him who ad- vances slowly and does not hurry, and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it.—La Bruyere. TULIP - MADNESS. The Cruo Th-t Raged In_Holland In s the Last Century. During the tulip craze in Holland in the last century.in one year the sales aggregated 10,000,000 florins. ‘Holland went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot- ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership in them was divided into shares. Spec- ulators sold them short. At one time more tulips were sold than exfsted. At Lille a brewer sold his trade and good will in exchange for a bulb, which was thereafter known as the Brewery tu- lip. In Amsterdam a father gave one by way of dower with his child. There- after the variety was known as -the Marriage of My Daughter. At Rotter- dam a hungry sailor, happening on a few, mistook them for onions and ate them. The repast became as famous as Cleopatra’s pearls and probably ex- ceeded it in cost. At The Hague a poor fellow managed to raise a black tulip. The rumor of that vegetable marvel spread. Presently he was vis- ited by a deputation from a syndicate. For that ewe lamb of his the deputa- tion offered 1.000 florins, which he re- fused. He was offered 10,000 florins. Still he refused. Cascades of gold were poured béefore his resisting eyes. Finally, tormented and tempted, he succumbed. There and then the depu- tation trampled that tulip under their feet. Afterward it appeared that the syndicate had already grown a gem precisely similar and. unable to bear the idea that a rival existed, had au- thorized the deputation if needful to offer ten times the amount which it paid. PICKED AN ODD NAME. An Author'’s Long Search and a Sub- sequent Surprise. When Adbion W. Tourgee wrote “A Fool’'s Errand” he named one of his leading characters Theron Pardee. An early copy of the book fell into the hands of the Rev. Luther Pardee, an Episcopal clergyman of Chicago, whose father was named Thereon Pardee. The name is such an unusual combina- tion that in amazement the rector showed the book to his father, and they were both puzzled by the coinci- dence. They decided to write Judge Tourgee and ask him what had led him to use the name. He replied, in equal amazement. that he had not supposed there was such a man living as a The- ron Pardee. Then he stated that he had a prolonged search for a suitable name for the character of his story— one that would express just what he imagined this character to be. In the course of the hunt an old copy of the curriculum of Union college had fallen into his hands. It was dated 1825, or something as far back, and among the names of the students was one Thereon Pardee. The judge said it had im- pressed him as being one of'the rich- est, most solid and most satisfying names he ever had heard, so he decid- ed to adopt it for his character. The curriculum was so old that he had no hesitation in using the name, and he was astonished to learn that the right- ful owner of it was living. His expla- nation was accepted and the resulting acquaintance was pleasing all around. —New York Press. The Arab Plowman. To see an Arab steering a yoke of oxen, one hand pressed upon the sin- gle stem of the plow and the other holding the long, slim goad, is to see a living illustration of how Elisha looked and moved when Elijah found him plowing and cast his cloak upon bim in sigunificant symbolism of his destiny. It has often been remarked that. while imperishable relics of Ro- man stonework abound in northern Africa in the form of bridges, aque- ducts and so,forth, the impress left on the people themselves by the great- est civilizing power that ever existed i8 extraordinarily slight. Only in some such insignificant detals as the names of the months in the Kabyle dialect is the stamp of Rome still visible, and in the system of hiring labor in the Tell there survives a custom belong- ing to the early days of the Roman republic.—Wide World Magazine. Ancient Spectacle Makers. . The ancient Guild of Spectacle Mak- ers is numerically one of the strongest London companies. Its charter dates from the year 1629 and, though the ex- act date of its origin ds Jost. there is ample evidence that the calling «f spectacle maker was .extensively fol- lowed, at a very early date. An old book of 1563 mentions the spectacle makers among other traders, and the blography of Carlo Zeno, an fillustrious Venetian, who died in 1418, mentions that even at the age of eighty-four he needed no artificlal aids to his sight. So presumably spectacles were com- mon in Italy five centuries ago.—Lon- don Telegraph. Different Altogether.
