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.

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 turned off tho light, intending to disrobe 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- crat. 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.

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.

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 don't top anything fer looks I ever see.

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.— Youth’s Companion. 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. In addition to forty acres of land, sold for a consideration of fifty dollars, the document conveys “all and singular— appurtenances, appendages, advowsons, benefits, commons, curtilages, cow houses, corncribs, dairies, dovecots, ensements, emoluments, freeholds, fea tures, furniture, fixtures, gardens, horne- stnlls, improvements, immunities, lime kilns, meadows, marshes, mines, miner als, orchards, parks, pleasure grounds, pigeon houses, pigsties, quarries, re mainders, reversions, rents, rights, ways, water courses, windmills, together with every other necessary right, immunity, privilege and advantage of whatsoever name, nature or description."—Chicago Herald* 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" —Sau Francisco Argonaut. 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. —Brooklyn Eaglo. Afr. I. Ii.

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.
