MOURNING OVER A
MUCH LOVED HOUSEHOLD PET.
Tli» Unfortunate Crcntum Bald “lly Ily,
Lorn, lly l»y,o B ,„i Vleldoit Up tho
Ghost—Tlie Fuuernl XVhs a Iairga One
and the Furnishings Were Oorgeuus
'lhere wan a strange scene in Noe
Valley, away out Castro street, on Thurs
day, and those who witnessed it will not
soon tire talking of it. To most of those
who took part in it tho occasion was
fraught with more of curiosity than of
deeper interest, but it was not so with
all. In a little front parlor at 1414' 2 '
Castro street stands a big empty bird
cage. Rising from the top of the cage
a staff on whioh a flug, hoisted half mast
high, tells tho visitor that the one time
Occupant is dead. All around the little
doorway whero sho fluttered in and out
bits of black and whito still further
emphasize t lie fatal fact, and bouquets
of flowers fitted into feeding and drink
ing cups and hanging from tho swinging
perch whore Polly used to swing are
tokens to her memory.
It was only a parrot, this recent
dweller within those walls of wire, but
seldom lilts a bird left more sincere
mourners behind it, and many a man or
Woman would bo proud to think that
such an elaborate funeral was instore
for him or tier. Less than two years
ago this poor parrot was hatched out in
tho wilderness of Panama. John Btran-
aghan, an honest sailor lad, came into
possession of the bird oil oitoof his coast
wise trips and brought it to his uncle's
home in Noo Valley. Just otio year ngo
it was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Au
gustus Tache, and in their pretty little
homo on Castro Btreot tho bird really
began to live the life that lias now so
suddenly ended. The parrot’s name was
Loretta, but owing to the difficulty par
rots find in pronouncing the letter T sho
called herself Lora, and those who
knew her and loved her learned to ac
cept tho abbreviation. Lorn was the
pet of the entire neighborhood, but bho
was tho apple of Mrs. Taebo's eye.
There were tears in both of Mrs.
Tache’s oyes last evening as she related
stories illustrating the genius and uc
complishments of poor Lora. In np-
pearanco the bird had been quite like
any other green parrot with gold trim
mings. Her size was roughly but kindly 1
stated by Mr. Tache, who is a carpenter.
“Sho just fitted into n box 12 by 3
inches,” said he. And there stood the
box on a pedestal just In front of tho
empty “cottage." It was a dainty box,
more liko a yonng lady’s glove box than
it coffin, covered with bluo silk and lined
with the same in quilted squares. Ye.
in it poor Lora had been laid out. By
tho silken handles on either side the
pallbearers had carried it to tho grave
side, and there in tho darkened parlor
it now stands with the other evidences
of a woman's strange devotion to the
memory of a dead bird.
The lessons that Lora learned in her
home on Castro street soem all to have
boon good ones. Sho could not only talk
and whistle like othor parrots, but us a
singer she had an onviablo record. lie:
singing of tho chorus of “Auld Lung
Syne” is said to have made many of the
residents of Noe Valley weep copiously,
and Mrs. Tache herself was very much
overcome last evening in endeavoring to
give the reporter an idea of Lora’s ron
dition of “Amid the Raging of Sea
“Sho had n sweet and lovely voice,” said
this fond mistress of a pretty pot, but
Mr. Tache did not seem to agree with
her. There was also a slight difference
of opinion as to tho cause of Lora's de
mise. Both agreed that tho parrot died
of cholera morbus, but Mrs. Tache de
clared that tho disease was due to Mr.
Tache feoding the bird on watermelon,
while the latter contended that deatli
had been duo to too freqent bathing at
tho hands of Mrs. Tache.
Whatever the cause, poor Lora wns
taken ill on Monday last. She was “off
her feed,” as Mr. Tache puts it, all the
afternoon, and when night came she
could muster up no words from her vo
luminous vocabulary save “Poor Loral
Poor, poor Lora.” It should be men
tioned here that she never referred to
herself as Polly, and never made the
stereotyped suggestion regarding the
proverbial cracker. Just as Monday
was turning into Tuesday Mr. and Mrs.
Tache, snugly stowed away in the ad
joining bedroom, heard a terrible scream.
They know at once that Lora was on her
last legs. Mrs. Tache promptly got out
of bed and went to the rescue. She also
did what a mother would have done for
a dying child. She took tho bird to her
bosom and sat with it on her own bed.
Poor Lota lived but a short hour longer.
After tho ono shrill scream there came
but these words, “By by, Lora, by
by!" They were (ho last words indeed.
Written by tho afflicted mistress those
words are still pinned to the wires of
tho empty birdcage. The writer and
her husband are as subdued in their
grief as if a child had been taken away.
The funeral took place at4p. m. on
Thursday. The neighbors turned out in
goodly numbers. The houso at 1414,U
Castro street was crowded, and there
were more flowers than city officials
have sometimes been honored with. But
the most unique feature of the occasion
was the hearse. The son of a neighbor
ing groceryman offered tho services of
his goat wagon. Certainly nothing
could iiavo been better suited to such a
service. Tho goat was a well trained
animal and did not run away. Two lit-
tlo girls, Gay Spencer and Maggie Del-
more, carried the casket out of the
houso and placed it in tho little wagon.
Then taking their places, ono on each
side, and the othor children walking
two by two behind them, they led the
way up Castro street to Clipper, where
in tho garden of Mr. Strantghan, at
434, a grave had been dug to receive all
that remained of Lora. The older peo
ple stood by when the blue casket was
exchanged for a coarser one, and when
the earth was tilled in above the lowered
coffin there was more than one genuine
sob audible.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Doing Sonin Shooting.
“It once cost mo fifty dollars to shoot
at myself,” said Frank E. Blair to the
Story Tellers' club that was holding an
informal session on tho sidewalk at the
Southern. “I got into a Baltimore hotel
very late ono night und very tired. A
thuuderstorm was raging at the time,
and 1 am as afraid of lightning as a
awoot girl graduate of a mouso, «y-1

In the darkness. I had taken my pistol
out of my pocket to place it under my
pillow, when there was u blinding flash
of lightning, I c aught sight of a vil
lainous looking fellow not ten feet dis
tant with a pistol in his hand. He was
standing in a crouching, expectant atti
tude, and 1 felt sure that his intention
was to murder and rob me. ‘Who’s
there?’ 1 called, but got no reply. 1
grasped my pistol firmly and advanced
a step or two. There was another flash
of lightning, and there was the villain,
almost within arm's length, gun in
hand. I pulled the trigger twice. There
were two stunning reports und a crash
ing of glass. Then 1 realized that 1 had
done it—made an ass of myself. 1 sat
down on tho edge of tho bed, ashamed
to turn on the light. It was a full length
mirror. I had shot my own shadow to
smithereens—had mistaken myself for
a cutthroat.”—Bt. Louis CJlobo-Demo-

A Noblo Husband.
The historian Xenophen relates that
when Cyrus, tho founder of the Persian
empire, hud taken captive a young
prince of Armenia, together with his
beuutiful and blooming wife, of whom
he was remarkably fond, they were
brought before' tho tribunal of Cyrus to
receive their sentence. The warrior in
quired of the prince what ho would give
to be reinstated in his kingdom, and he
replied that lie valued his crown nnd his
liberty nt a very low rate, but if the
noblo conqueror would restore ids be
loved wife to her former dignity and
possessions ho would willingly pay his
life for tho purchase. Tho prisoners
were dismissed to enjoy their freedom
and former honors, and each was lavish
in praise of the conqueror. “And you,”
said the prince, addressing his wife,
"what think you of Cyrus?” “I did not
observo him,” sljo replied. “Not observe
him!” exclaimed her husband, “Upon
whom, then, was your attention fixed?”
“Upon that dear and generous man,” she
replied, “who declared his readiness to
purchase my liberty at the expense of
his life.”
. Canvass Orators.
Humorous, if a trifle unkind, was the
orator, who, when describing the in
ordinate love of praise which character
ized an opponent, said, “He is so fond
of being praised that 1 really beliov.e he
would be content to give up tho ghost if
it were but to look up and road tho
stonecutter’s puff on his tombstone.
This is in striking contrast to the graceful
and witty compliment paid to the beam
tiful Ducliess of Devonshire and her
sister, Lady Dnncannon, of whom, when
they canvassed the electors of West
minster on behalf of Fox in 178-1, it was
said that “never did two such lovely
portraits appear on canvas.”—London
Standard.
How One Tainter Wan Started.
Tlie Pall Mall Gazette tells a story of
a British—or wns it an American?—col
lector, who paused before a picture by
the late Belgian artist, Mauve, for the
first time, having heon struck by its
beauty. Ho asked how much it cost,
and was told $125. “Nonsense,” he said,
“it’s too cheap. Make it $500 and I’ll
take a dozen more from him at tho same
price.” Thus wasMauvu’sfinancial suc
cess begun.
CoruJcun linuditfl.
Corsican bandits liavo friends in every
village, who supply them with what
they .want, and those who have only
taken a life or two out of revenge are
not regarded as criminals. We liavo
seen a girl scarcely out of her teens
flash up with anger if anything were
said against tlie vendetta.—London
Saturday Review.
Tho greatest day’s run of an ocean
steamship was about 515 miles. Tlie
steamer in question was 603 feet long and
had previously been known to make 500
miles por day for three days in succession.
Tho number of students of electrical
subjects entered at Cornell university
has increased from 28 in 1884 to 230 in
1892, and in many other institutions the
proportionate increase is even greater.

PRETTY AND SHE KNEW IT.
A Figure In a Bliop Window Made the
Old Man Think of Other Day..
“Well, I’m gosh darned, M’randy!"
“Do you just couio along, Jesse, nu you
been a-niarriud nigh outer forty years.”
The twain were from the interior man
ifestly. Ho was of conventional rural
dress, baggy pantaloons and coat sleeves
too short, und a hat that half concealed
his features. Ho wore huge glasses, and
was peering through them with all his
might and main at a revolving female
dummy in a State street window. Sho
wore a plnin, black frock, short in tho
•kirt and high in tho nock, and a very
plain bonnet of antique architecture.
While lie stared she tugged nt his Bleeves.
"Well, I’m goshed darned!” ho re
peated, giving no hoed to the entreaties
of his wife.'
"Jesse, Jesse, do come away,” sho
urged. "Why, everybody’s a-Bfgtiting
of ye.”
“Well, I'm gosh darned!" he repeated
for tho third time. “If that thur gal

I reckon. Most any purty gal 'ml bo

“Jesso, Jesse,” pleaded the wife, pull

“She’s dooccd purty, ’n she knows it,”
he added as ho regarded her moro crit

Iceberga In GlIttering^Array.
There nro few more interesting things
among the perils nnd wonders of tlie
ocean than icebergs. They are interest
ing not only for their gigantic size, their
fantastic shapes, their exceeding beauty
and their ubility to cool great massos of
water and air in their neighborhood, but
also for tho manner in which they array
themselves.
Icebergs often show a tendency to
form both clusters and long linos, and
these groupings may arise from tlie ef
fects both of ocean currents anil storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs, ex
tending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, aro shown on an
iceberg chart issued by the hydrographic
office in Washington. Two of these
cross one another, each keeping on its
independent course after the crossing.
In several instances parallel linos of
bergs leave long spaces of clear water
between them.
The Prince of Monaco, who has taken
a lively interest In experiments with
floating bottles In tho ocean, urges in nn
address to the British association, the
desirability of moro systematic study of
ocean tides and currents. A record of
the groupings and alignments of ice
bergs in the North Atlantic might be of
some use in such au investigation.—

Legal Verbiage in an Old Document.
An old deed recorded in Pettis county,
Mo., over fifty years ago, contains a good
illustration of the legal verbiage com
mon in such instruments in early times.

for a consideration of fifty dollars, the
document conveys “all and singular—
appurtenances, appendages, advowsons,
benefits, commons, curtilages, cow
houses, corncribs, dairies, dovecots,

water courses, windmills, together with
every other necessary right, immunity,
privilege and advantage of whatsoever

Her Mood Changed*
A young man passing t hrough a crowd
in a great dry goods storo found himself
side by side with a timid looking little
man, and exactly behind a lady. A
movement of the crowd forced the
young man to step upon tlie hem of the
lady's skirt. She turned quickly around,
with a furious look, and was evidently
about to address some fierce remark to
him, when a change came over her face
suddenly: “Oh, I beg your pardon, sir,”
she said; “I was going toget very angry.
You see, I thought it was my husbandl"

I The Picture Illusion.
A correspondent writes: "Almost
•vory careful observer of pictures must
have noticed how the eyoB of portraits
appear to follow one all over the room.
Can you account for this?"
Tho illusion referred to has been ex
plained thus: Suppose a portrait with
its fuco and its oyes directed straight iu
front, so ns to look at tho spectator. Let
a straight lino lie drawn through tho tip
of tho nose nnd half way between the
eyes, which we shall call tho rniddlo
line. On each side of this middle line
there will ho tho same breadth of head,
of cheek, pt chin nnd of neck, and each
iris will bo in tho rniddlo of tlie whole of
the eye. If wo now go to ono side tho
apparent horizontal breadth of every
part of tho head and face will be dimin
ished, but the parts on oach side of the |
middle lino will bo diminished equally;.
and at any position, however- oblique,,
there will be the-same breadth of fnco !
on each side of tho middle lino, and tho I
Iris will bo in the center of tho whole of
the eyeball, so that tho portrait preserves
all the character of a figure looking at
tho spectator, and must necessarily do
■o wherever ho etands.
In portraits tho nppurent motion of the
head is generally rendered indistinct by
the canvas being imperfectly stretched,
as tho slightest concavity or convexity
entirely deforms tho fuco when the ob
liquity is considerable. Tlie deception
Is therefore best seen when tho painting
Is executed on a flat board, and in colors ,
sufficiently vivid to represent overy lino i
in the face with tolerable distinctness at'
great obliquities. Distinctness of out
line is indeed most necessary to a satis
factory exhibition of this optical Illusion.

Why the I.ecturo Was a Failure,
Olio winter Nye wns at Jefferson City,
and as tho legislature was in session a
number of newspaper men of the state
were there, too; and to show what they
deemed proper courtesy to one of their
number they arranged an informal re
ception, with Nyo the principal attrac
tion, on tho afternoon of tlie day in the
evening of which Bill wns to lecture,
und they expected of him tho same cor
diality and bohemianism that marks
the nverngo writer. Nyo wns at the re
ception, but ho was a dead stick; never
once did ho smile; neither did he nt any
time attempt a witticism. His enter
tainers were disappointed und disgusted,
and sorry that they had paid him tho
compliment of purchasing a couplo of
boxes at tho opera house to hear his lec
ture.
But they got even. When Nyo mounted
the stago that nl^^t and began pouring
forth his jokes and drolleries notanows-
paper man in tho box smiled. All looked
solemn as owls, and occasionally glanced
with astonishment at the audience thut
kept in a roar of applause. Nye con
tinued, nnd became conscious of the fact
that this portion of his hearers wns not
pleased, and ho directed his shafts of
wit ut them. But they smilpd not, but
only stared nt him in solemnity. Their
coolness soon communicated itself to tlie
audience by some occult means and it
censed to cheer, and before the entertain
ment wus half over it was voted a dead
failure.— Charleston (Mo.) Democrat.
All Ho Gunrautcos lo Do.
The cleverness of tho waiters who
stand nt tho doors of tho dining rooms
of tho largo hotels in charge of tho hats
which are left outside by tho guests is
very striking. Some of them perforin
really wonderful feats of memory in the
way of identifying tho hat of each per
son, although they often do not see the
guest more tlinn once, and that for only
tho instant when he pauses to leave his
hat behind him os lie enters.
At a hotel on the Maine coast Is a
darky who is famous among the guests
for never making a mistake, although
sometimes the guests have tried to puz
zle him by going in in groups and by
wearing lints which he has never seen.
One day one of the boarders talked with
him about this power and the waiter
said that he had acquired it by long
■ practice.
“And do yon never make mistakes?”
the gentleman inquired.
“No, sub; I don’t cnl’lato to make no
mistakes," was tho answer,
“And do you give every man his own
hat?”
“Oh, snh," returned the waiter,
“ 'tain’t none o’ my bus’ness whose the
hat am. 1 gibes to ebery man the hat
he£ibes to me."—Boston Courier.
Wan ted the Color to Match.
A young man from Kalamazoo was in
Detroit not very long ago, drawn hither
by tho fascinating attractions of ono of
tiie brightest and best looking girls in
this City of tlie Straits. The visitor was
more or less of a Kalumazoolu and tlie
girl didn’t feel flattered by his atten
tions, but she did tho best she could
under the circumstances, In tho even
ing lie asked her to go with him to the
ice creamery and sho went.
“Waiter,” ho said in a loud and com
manding tone, “bring us two ice creams
—tho best you’ve got in the shop, mind.”
Tho waiter bowed.
“And, waiter,” said tlie girl in a low,
sweet voice, “bring me pistache to match
tiie young man here,” and tho young
man didn’t know what pistache was till
he saw the color.—Detroit Freo Pross.

Miulfl a 11 ron/<) Medal.
Joseph Mooro, of Birmingham, a die
sinker, made his reputation by a medal
in bronze four inches in diameter, of
which few copies were struck. On one
tide he showed in pretty high relief the
“Salvator Mundi” of Leonardo da Vinci
and on the other tho “Christns Con-
solfttor” of Ary Scheffer. The latter
wrote in thanks for a copy of the work,
“Your medal lias immortalized my pic
ture; it will outlive tho canvas,”—New
York Times.
