morning's tension of the encampment.
The business session of the encamp-

House at half put ii this morning. The
veterans, fresh from their pleasures of
the afternoon and evening previous
were out in large numbers at the com-
mencement of the session.
The election of officers was the most
important feature of the morning's
business. The election was begun
soon after 11 o'clock. and was corri—
pleted at i o'clock. tl has long been
conceded that Err-Governor Morgan (l.

TEACHING LANGUAGES To PAR
ROTS.
A peculiar profession is that of a
man in Chicago who is a teacher of
languages to parrots. 'l‘he‘Chicngo
Tribune says that while tlrl foreigner
was doing translations a d giving
French and German lessons at starva-
tion prices. he ehnnced one day to
talk with a parrot dealer. and asked
him if many birds were sold abroad.
“No." said be, “but only on account
of the difference in lanauagc. English
speaking parrots would hardly be in
demand in a foreign country."
This gave the linguist an idea. He
took home an uneducated bird and in
a few weeks had taught it to repeat
some short French sentences. After
that he began a regular occupation of
teaching French. German and ltalinrr
to parrots instead of to people.
Diet and warmth are important con-
ditions in this system of education.
Tire birds are kept in a temperature of
eighty degrees. and are fed on nuts.
bananas and other fruit. The lessons
are given morning and evening. One
word may be pronounced for days to-
gether; later several words are joined
in the form of a sentence. A clever
bird will learn a short sentence in less
than a fortnight.
One important secret is that oftcnch-
ing a bird to speak opportunely. as if
it understood what is happening at
the moment. If the teacher pulls out
his watch at the instant of saying
"What time is it?" the parrot soon
learns to say. “ What time is it?"
whenever he sees a watch.
If he is to he taught to greet a
visitor, the teacher. on giving the lee»
son. must enter the room saying. "How
do you do?"
To induce him to say. “Must you
go? Good-by!" the professor picks up
his hat and stick, and leaves the rooru
as he repeats the words.
An inquiry will prove that all of the
articles written deploring the fact that
so many American woman are child—
less. are written by men. who don‘t
have to have them, or by the old maids
who don’t know anything about it.
