PATTI’S PARROT.
r«i From One Vcieel. It Made It. Way—
to Another.
The adventures of Mme. Patti'• parrot,
Koko, form a little chapter of great perils
to himself, disconsolatlon and tears on the
part of his mistress and of curious coinci
dences touching the bird, owner and the
Samaritan of the seas who acts the grace
ful part of rescuer.
InIBBB the firm of Abbey, Schoeffel &
Grau, theatrical speculators and managers,
included in their various enterprises a tour
with Mme. Patti and a strong opera com
pany to Buenos Ayres, Montevideo and
Ria Marcus Mayer, business manager,
went out In advance, and on the Royal
Mall steamer Fagus formed the acquaint
ance of an African parrot whose lingulstio
abilities elevated him to the distinction of
being almost as polyglot as the accom
plished Mr. Mayer himself. Before leav
ing England Mme. Patti had commis
sioned the agent to procure for her any
South American birds of plumage or song
that he might meet with, and especially a
half dozen of the gayly feathered but by
no means musical macaws for which Bra
zil Is famous. The parrot was not Included
In any of the specifications, but his ready
use of Spanish, Portuguese, French and
English—a few words at least In all of
them—and some ridiculous speech In the
dialect of the West India negroes, justified
his purchase from the chief engineer of the
Fagus, and when Mme. Patti arrived at
the Hotel d’Etranger in Rio Koko was
awaiting her in her apartments with the
greeting. “Soy Koko—a disposiclon a
usted.” ;
Amid his more brilliant companions he
at first attracted but little attention, but
in a few days, possibly having heard his
mistress jsing, he evinced his delight in a
manner so flattering that ho was raised to
the position of first favorite. At Monte
video Senor Hora, the editor of the news
paper El Expresso, gave Koko a gold col
lar inscribed in Spanish with the words:
“lam Koko, the polyglot parrot of the
Nloolinl. I don’t sing myself, but there
are angel voices in our family. ’'
Wearing his collar as usual, Koko was
seated on his mistress’ shoulder one morn
ing in the deck saloon of the homeward
bound steamship lonic. The lee door of
the saloon was open, when some children
threw open the one on the windward side
and came in with a rush that startled the
bird from his perch. Unaccustomed to
use his wings, ho was caught in the. cur
rent of wind and swept out of the saloon,
and, despite his own endeavors, in a mo
ment was over the side and adrift in the
northeast trades. For half an hour they
watched him, until he became a black
speck in the distance and finally disap
peared. This happened in the latter part
of August, 1888.
The morning the sailors of the
American bark Lapwing, from Rio to Bal
timore, found Koko in the mizzen top ex
hausted and speechless, but, under the care
of Mrs. Starling, the captain’s wife, he re
covered his vigor and voice, and since then
until recently has been going up and down
the coast. Some months ago, the Lapwing,
being at sea on a voyage from the Chinese
seas to -New York, somewhere south of the
cape of Good Hope, met an American
whaler, which asked for fresh provisions
and news. A boat was sent with the need
ed articles, and tho whaler in exchange
threw it a file of New York Heralds for
1888. They were all thumbed and worn,
but Mrs. Starling, turning them carelessly
over, caught tho headline, “Mme. Patti’s
Koko Lost at Sea. ” It formed part of a
cable dispatch from London. The corre
spondent of that journal, having met Mr.
Abbey on his return home, had inquired
about the South American tour, and had
been told that it was Successful, with no
greater mishap than the loss of Patti’s
favorite parrot Koko, which had been
blown off the ship somewhere near the
equator.
Up to this time neither Captain Starling
nor his wife knew to whom tho bird be
longed, for they had not associated the
family name, Nicolini, engraved on the
bird’s collar with the one by which the
great singer is known to the public. On
arriving at New York, they easily learned
the whereabouts of the great singer, and,
under the charge of a friend of theirs
crossing on the Lucania last week Koko
finished tho interrupted voyago to Eng
land and was restored to his delighted
mistress.—London Letter in Philadelphia
Times.
Klondike Tremens.
The Seattle Times prints this interesting
letter from a Klondiker I
“Dear Friend —You can surprise the
dear people of Casper by telling them that
lam worth $75,000, and next summer I
will start back to buy tho town. Some
people will want to kiss me when I get
back who wanted to kick me when I left.
It is a bad trip up here, but it is worth
making if money is what a man wants.
It is the only place I ever saw where there
is so much money that people don’t seem
to care for it.
“We sit around and talk about good
things to eat. That is what everybody is
thinking about. If a man gets to talking
about fruit, he is put out of the camp. We
can’t stand it to hear it talked of. I have
dreamed of seeing peaches as big as a car
wheel, and they say when a man gets tho
tremens up here he always sees fruit or
fancies that he i< pulling radishes or Shell
ing peas. This is a hard country to a man.
It will make a young man look old in two
years. , ,
“You have heard of .the golden calf.
Well, I have somethiirg' thAibeats that. I
have a golden dog. Sr dog of mine died,
and I have used his hyjcyhs a sack for my
dust. 1 have him as full of gold as he was
of meat. I sometimes lay my head on his
body and dream of what I will do with my
‘dough' when I get back to the States.
“My partner has ten one gallon sirup
cans filled with dust. Pneumonia is bad,
and many die from it. The scurvy is bad,
too, but it don’t kill many, after all. If a
man could have what he wanted to eat up
here, it would not be so bad. You can
dress warm and fight the cold, but it is
hard to be hungry every day and get noth
ing to eat but the things you detest. My
paper has run out, and there is no more in
camp."
Society.
The whole of society at present is too
like a jelly. When it is touched, it shakes
from base to summit. As yet the unity is
of weakness rather than of strength. The
difference of individualities must always
exist, and since wo are members of one
body different gifts are needed to supply
the wants of that body. Our aim there
fore ought to be not to merge the individ
ual in the community, but to strengthen
the social life of the community and foster
Individuality.—Tennyson.

] WOMAN’S NECKTIES.
A Eaberdaebcpu CfltieUai on the Way Slia
Arrange. Them.
Tho necktie of tho average woman is
likely to distress her male friends—-under
’ all circumstances, though the reign of tho
shirt waist has ncctwtor.el men to its
, vagaries. There is in »«• -ione fash
ion which will be liu:;: ; '..g a word'
of commendation from any i That is
; the wearing of the large, uu, rbady ma&
plastron neckties which a long time ago
. went out of fashion for icon.
“When they were worn several years
• ago,” said a man who feels deeply on 1.H6
subject, “their edges never showed under
a waistcoat, and they were partly con
cealed. But a woman with ono of these
scarfs on, with nothing to cover it up,
while it flaps in tho breeze, as she walks,
Is a sight to move a man to' tears. The
fashion has been a godsend to the haber
dashers, who as soon as the women began
to wear these things had only to unpack
the old stock that filled their shelves and
sell it to the women. The women bought
' the ties with avidity, and tho result was
the painful sight of women wearing old
fashioned scarfs intended to bo covered
partly under a waistcoat. There were
grounds for hoping that they would disap-
■ pear from view when the winter months
, came. But the continuance of tho shirt
waist in a permanent winter form will
, make the flapping tie a reality for several
i months to come, and the final removal
! may not come for a long time yet. Just
, think of having it continue all next sum
mer! Tho only mitigation of the present
situation is the fact that in winter women,
wear jackets over their cloth shirt waists,
and that improves the look of. the ties so
long as tho women are out of doors. But
inside the house the old neckties still cover
two-thirds of their bodies and flap back
and forth as they walk.”
There are women who can tie a scarf as
well as a man, but there are not many of
them; Tho same quality which makes
them poor judges of tho kind of neckties
, to buy prevents them from tying them
well. Women select a necktie fpr a man
. either because its color seems beautiful to
them or its quality good. These consider
ations are not at all important in selecting
. effective neckwear, and a man realizes
( this when a woman buys him a pink crepe
, de chino scarf merely because the shade of
, pink is perfectly lovely. In tying their
, own tics it is an effort after the general
effect that they make rather than tho well
tied scarf. In most cases they wear their
tie too long. Their necks are smaller than
, men’s, but nevertheless they buy men’s
sizes in neckties, which always results in
a painful superfluity of scarf. The ready
made ties which they wore last summer,.
i so much to the distress of the men who
saw them, got their first vogue with wom-
, en beqhuse they were already tied.
“I think that all women had better get
ready made ties, ” said an up town haber
, dasher, “because there are too few of them
who can really arrange a tie properly, al
though I will admit there are a few. Any
body who doubts this-ought to look at the
picture of Maude Adams taken in a riding
, habit and observe tho way her flat scarf is
, tied. John Drew could not do better for
himself. Ready made ties must, of course,
, be shunned by all men who make any pre
tense to being well dressed, but they are
, tho best thing for tho women. They can
, not bo made to understand how much de
pends on the attention to small details,
and why a tie looks better when it is a
! quarter of an inch shorter is something
they can never appreciate. Tho stiffness
and necessary primness of a well tied scarf
is another thing which never comes into
their minds as of any particular impor
tance. They will labor over a ribbon bow
’ and tie it half a dozen times if that bo
! necessary to make it meet their ideas. But
they never take so much time when it is a
, man’s tie, because they do not appreciate
the differences that little details will
make. Made up ties which look realistic
and hook in the back suit them better.
, Nowadays these arc put together so skill
, fully that nobody would suspect they had
, npt been tied by the wearer. They can be
had in ascot scarfs, four-in-hands, and
the narrower ties. But I think that
some man ought to go along with a wom
an even to pick out these. If possible,
she will get one that hasn’t the let. st re
semblance to the right kind of tie. Mas
culine neckwear, whether it is for herself
or somebody else, is one point on which
woman ; judgment will go astray if it
possibly can.”—New York Sun.
Funeral Was Postponed.
He had died with his boots on and his
brethren of the pick and the pan were giv
ing him a bang-up funeral. They had sot
aside a worthless tract as a cemetery, and
now they were about to inter the departed
with all the solemnity that a Klondike
camp could muster.
When tho slow paced cortege, tho pine
■ box in its midst,’ and Alkali Ike and Der
ringer Dick at its head, reached the ceme
tery on the lone hillside, it was found that
Placer Pete, who had just been elected
sexton, was still deepening the grave.
Setting down the honored burden, the
crowd surged forward and waited in si
lence for Pete to finish the task. Alkali
Ike and Derringer Dick, as chief mourn
ers, stepped to the graveside and uttered a
few words of encouragement to tho pant
ing digger.
Suddenly Alkali Ike stooped over the
pile of dislodged soil. He clutched the
arm of Derringer Dick. He muttered a
word or two. The head of Placer Pete,
wild eyed and staring, appeared above the
edge of the excavation. Then the two
mourners turned around and faced the
crowd. They were pale and excited.
“GenTemen,” said Alkali Ike, with
difficulty controlling his articulation,
“this yer funeral has got to be postponed
to some more littin time and place. The
sexton here-has just struck pay dirt!”
And then the obsequies wound up with
a wild yell and a wilder rush.
Two days later the ex-cemetery looked
like ono tremendous grave.—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
An Unlucky Helmet.
A. curious circumstance was connected
.with Younghusband’s death. After the
battle of Cawnpur he had purchased at
auction a very smart helmet, which had
been tho property of Lieutenant Salmond
of the Gwalior cavalry, who had been
killed at Cawnpur. This helmet a good
deal excited my envy and admiration, and
as I had not possessed a decent headdress
since the mutiny began, I had asked a
friend to buy it for me at the auction of
Salmond’s effects. But poor Younghus
band outbid me. At his sale I was again
outbid, and the helmet fell to the nod of
■ Lieutenant Havelock, a nephew of the
general. He, too, was killed wearing it,
and rumor subsequently said a fourth
officer had bought it and had been’killed.
It was a strange coincidence, and as these
deaths occurred quickly one after the oth
er I ceased to wish I had been its possessor.”

•DISSIPATION OF FORTUNES.
I How Millions Ara Thrown io th. Wind..
Fact and KcpataUon.
Are the great fortunes of our plutocrats
dwindling? Are we not giving them too
high a rating? Wo thought Ogden Goelet
worth at the very least 8100.000,000. The
most conservative men placed his fortune
at $50,000,000, yet it dwindled to less than
$10,000,000. The $30,000,000 of “Splte
bousc” Richardson dropped to $500,000 as
Boon as it struck the courthoueo. George
M. Pullman was supposed to be worth ev
ery cent of $50,000,000. Immediately after
his death $25,000,000 was the figure, but
tho latest reports name $7,000,000 as tho
value of the estate. How is this? Can it
bo that we are far wrong in placing the
fortune of John D. Rockefeller at $200,-
000,000? Will ft dwindle to $50,000,000
when ho shuffles off? Is General Sam
Thomas, a partner of Cal Brice and la
man, worth $10,000,000? I doubt it. What
is Cnl worth? His is about tho only for
tune that no one tries to estimate. From
tho way he flies around ho must have big
money.
Who can tell whether Undo Collis 'Pa
cific Huntington is worth $3,000,000 or
$30,000,000? What is Flagler's fortune—
slo,ooo,ooo or $75,000,000? Is it possible
that James B. Colgato is worth $20,000,-
000? No. Is John E. Andrus worth $30,-
000,000? I think not. Is J. Jennings Mc-
Comb worth 830,000,000? Whore did ho
get it? Is Charles L. Tiffany worth SBO,-
000,000? That is his rating. And there
are William Rockefeller, with $80,000,000;
H. Walter Webb, with $5,000,000; Mrs.
Elliott F. Shepard, with $50,000,000; Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, with 8110,000,000; Wil
lie K. Vanderbilt, with $90,000,000; Fred
erick Vanderbilt, with $10,003,000; George
Vanderbilt, with $30,000,000; George
Gould, with $30,000,000, and so forth and
so on.
Tho safest way to get at tho size qf a
man’s fortune is toAako the public esti
mate and divide it by 10. I generally find
that a man who is rated at $20,000,000
cuts up for-about $2,000,000. It is the
custom of tho day and generation to con
verse in millions. We account a man poor
who has no moro than $1,000,000. Hois
between thedevilof entertainment and the
deep sea of financial stress—too well off to
bo parsimonious and too poor to trot heats
with the Croesuses. He cannot afford $lO,-
000 for a dinner and reception without
feeling it. It is so easy to talk millions
that we invariably use tho word in the
plural.
Our popular estimate of tho fortunes of
Our richest men remind mo of Maine. Up
. in the state of the pino tree and the foxes
we find a great many miles to the mile, a
great deal of water to the gallon, a tre
mendous amount of air in the atmosphere
and a powerful sight of mountains to the
hill. And so with the fortunes down here.
There are a great many millions to the
million.—New York Press.
Eating Too Mach Salt.
The use of salt as a condiment is so gen
eral and so universally believed in as nec
essary that we rarely hear a word against
its excessive use, but there are a multi
tude of persons who eat far too much salt
—*at it on everything, on meat, fish, po
tatoes, melons, in butter, on tomatoes,
turnips and squash, in bread and on a
host of foods too numerous to mention.
To so great an extent is it used that no
food is relished which has not a salty taste,
and this hides moro oi‘ less tho real taste,
which' is often very delicate. Now, tho
amount of salt required in the system is
comparatively small, and if the diet has
been rightly compounded very little is
necessary. Some go so far as to discard its
use altogether, but whether this is wise or
not we will not here consider.
What are some of the evils of the excess
ive use of salt? They are to paralzye the
nerves of taste or to pervert them so they
cannot enjoy anything which has not a
salty flavor, and in addition there is a di
rect tax on both the skin and the kidneys
in removing it from tho blood. Whether
the skin is harmed by this tax we do ho#
know. Possibly it is not greatly injured,
yet we know that few people possess a
healthy skin. But it is now pretty well
settled that an excessive use of salt does
overtax tho kidneys in its .removal, and
that the great number of cases of derange
ment and disease of these organs is due to
this use. It takes only a little time to
learn to enjoy many kinds of food with
out salt, and we advise our readers and
others to look into this matter and to try
to diminish the use of this condiment as
far as possible. Wo believe they will be
better for It.—Journal of Hygiene.
The Cause of Leprosy.
The active cause of leprosy is a specific
micro organism, the bacillus lepraj. The
period of incubation varies from a few
minutes to several years. _
Two principal types or forms of leprosy
that are recognized as the brunt of the
disease is determined toward the skin or
toward tho peripheral nervous system.
The first form is termed tubercular; the
second, anagthetic, or nerve leprosy. In
tho first form infiltrations occur In the
skin, forming nodules or tubercles, which
are especially prominent about the fore
head, cheeks and ears. Later, these nod
ules break down, forming ulcerating sores.
Often they occasipn pictures of horrible
deformity. The tubercular form is tho
most severe and rapidly fatal. The aver
age duration of life is from five to ten
years. In the anesthetic form the nutri
tion of the skin is interfered with from
Implication of the nerves, leading to con
tractions and deformities of tho members.
Not infrequently there is marked mutila
tion from the sinking' in of the nose, the
loss of the sight, and the. dropping off of
tho fingers and toes, so that only the
stumps of the hands and feet remain. In
this form tho course of tho disease is slow
er and life may bo prolonged to 10 or 15
years, or longer. Some patients exhibit
tho characteristics of both forms (mixed
leprosy).—Dr. Prinoe A. Morrow In North
American Review.
Dromedaries That Smoke Cigarg.
Dromedaries are said to be particularly
fond of tobacco smoke, and can bo made
to do almost anything under its influence.
Travelers in Egypt, it is asserted, rely
moro on tobacco smoke for their control
over these huge beasts than anything else.
When traveling on long journeys, tho
dromedaries are in many cases required to
travel night and day without rest, and the
beasts are kept up to their tasks by smok
ing cigars. The driver carries a triangular
piece of wood, which is pierced nt one
point like a cigar holder. This is inserted
in the mouth of the beast, the cigar being
lit and pressed into the hole in the same
fashion followed by man. The dromedary
immediately closes its eyes and puffs away
through its nostrils until tho cigar is
burned away. The indulgence appears to
refresh it, and the keeper has no difficulty
in persuading the animal to plod on with
out further rest.—Strand Magazine.

A WOMAN GAME WARDEN.
Perilous Duties Discharged by Mrs. War
ren Neal of Meal. Mleh.
Once again a new and startling occupa
tion has been found for tbo new woman.
It Is that of game warden, and the woman
who distinguished herself by making this
brand new departure is Mrs. Warren Nani
of Neal, Mioh. This woman was appoint
ed game warden for Grand Traverse coun
ty not long since, and from the appearance
of things she will attend to the duties of
her office in a busineuliko manner.
The duties of game warden are of such a
nature that many men would not care to
undertake to fill the plaoe, but Mrs. Neal
is a plucky little woman, and she fcas no
fear whatever of not being able to over
come all obstacles. A gains warden is
supposed to travel all over the county and
keep a sharp lookout for violators of the
game and fish laws. As Grand Traverse
county, of which Mrs. Neal has control, is
densely wooded and has many lakes, sho
will be kept very busy seeking out and
bringing to justice violators of the law.
Mrs. Neal handles a gun like an expert,
rows a boat and is a skillful woodsman,
and she knows every inch of the territory
she Kas to patrol. In order to make her
way through the donee growths In the
forest land as easily as possible Mrs. Neal
has adopted a costume modeled after tho
much reviled bloomers.
As to the trousers, Mrs. Neal says that
she bps no desire to bo considered as set
ting the pace for the new woman. In
fact, she told the writer she thought every
woman ought to dress according to her
own ideas of comfort, though for the life of
her she could not see why any woman
should want a skirt when hunting or row
ing. It really appears as If Mrs. Neal is
the sort of new woman that has a mind to
advance her sex along sensible and health
giving lines.
She usually makes a trip over tho entire
county once a week. When out after tho
violators of thagame law, she rides over
the country on (horseback, and when she
comes to a lake sho secures a boat, and
■vlth a steady, swift oar she rapidly covers
msr territory made up of water.
s She carries a rifle on all of these trips,
and woe to the evildoer oaflght napping,
for this plucky game warden is a relent
less pursuer of all lawbreakers, and she
has brought many of them to justice.
During May tho state game and fish
warden’s department prosecuted 109 al
leged violators of the law and convicted
96, growing out of 149 complaints. This
breaks the record for any previous month
in the history of the department. All but
three of the convictions were obtained for
violation of the fish laws, and the major
ity of these cases were established by Mrs.
Neal.
Her skill with tho rifle is something
phenomenal, and she drops her quarry
with the ease of a professional Nlffirod.
Mr. Neal, who is an enthusiastic sports
man, long ago taught his wife to be skill
ful with the revolver. Last July when
they were in tho upper lake region camp
ing he induced her to try her band with
the rifle. He declared that a woman who
could shoot so well with a revolver would
with practice become a dead shot with the
larger weapon. Now, rifle shooting re
quires a good eye, a steady hand and wrist
and a control of the nervous system that
very few women possess. Generally the
novice fires at a target. Mrs. Neal’s first
target, however, was a glass bottle thrown
in the air, and at a third shot she struck
the bottle, a surprisingly good attempt.
Mrs. Neal kept on practicing, and now is
so expert that she can hit the glass bottle
nine times out of ten.
In addition to her lather duties Mrs.
Neal carries the mail three times a week
to Traverse City for Uncle Sam.—Phila
delphia Inquirer.
The Late Dao d’Aamale.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, in an article
on “Royalists and Republicans” in The
Century, says:
Os all the members of the Orleans fam
ily nono as yet has had so marked a physi
ognomy as the Due d’Auxnale, third son
of King Louis Philippe. His name is
closely connected with the conquest of Al
giers. He was almost constantly in Africa
during his father’s reign, and on various
occasions covered himself with glory in
attacks upon the Arabs. The old Prince
de Conde, who had no children, made him
heir to all his fortune, and bequeathed to
him among other estates the chateau of
Chantilly. There he lived, surrounded by
the marvelous collections which he had
formed and which are to go to tho French
academy now that he is dead. The Duo
d’Aumale laid the sword aside for the pen
and became a historian. The academy
opened its doors to him, and Chantilly
once more became what it was in the days
when Bossuet pronounced his famous “fu
neral oration of the Prince de Conde”—
the home of arts and of letters. All the
celebrities of France have been received
under the roofof Chantilly. Every distin
guished foreign guest who went to France
was seen there likewise. The Duo d’Au
male took pleasure in himself showing his
art collections on such occasions. He had
many things restored at Chantilly—the
entrance railing, the porch, the vestibule,
the great staircase, with’ ite wrought Iron
baluster, the chapel, the ballroom, the li
brary, and all with faultless taste and ex
treme care.
Conkling Loved the Letter **o.**
.'Awriter in The Home Journal says that
Roscoe Conkling was always fond of words
containing the vowel “o” pronounced
with its long sound, and this fondness was
very curiously Illustrated after his death.
He was so delirious during his last sick
ness that he could not communicate to any
of his friends matters of which they should
have been advised in case of his death. His
library drawers, his desk, his private table
at his home in Utica, contained no scrap
of paper which would suggest to his friends
what his wishes were, yet there were
reasons for believing that ho had written a
will. At last his daughter brought a small
box upon which was a lock which could
be opened only by a person who know the
combination. Nobody knew what this
combination was.
They tried various words—pet names
and favorite expressions—upon the combi
nation without avail. At last tho daughter
said: “You know father was very fond
of pronouncing words which had ‘o* in
them. I remember that ho was delighted
with the word ‘Rome,’ which ho used to
pronounce, dwelling fondly on the ‘o’
sound in Ik Let us try that word. ” It
was tried upon the combination, and
found, to be the key, for tho lock yielded,
and within the box Mr. Conkling’s will
was found. ■
