NONE OF HIS TRIBE SURVIVES..
A Dead Parrot of a Variety that Has Been
Extinct for Fifty Years.
The Smithsbnian Institution during
the past week has mounted the rarest
specimen in this country. The new
acquisition is an extinct parrot from
Philip Island, a little spot of land be-
tween Australia and New Zealand.
Nestor, as he is called from his gray
head, has been extinct for fully half a
century. The Smithsonian specimen,
which is the only one known in this
country, was buried for many years in
a ga1'1et down in southern New Mexi«
co. During the worst of the hard
times, when there seemed a possibil-
ity of B1yan’ 5 election, Nestor’ s owner,
a Mr. Hoopes, of Organ City, bethought
him to realize on his worldly posses—
sions while he could still sell them for
gold and know what he was getting.
He- sent his rare parrot, which then
looked a little worse for wear and
tear, to the Smithsonian, but, di-
shevelled as the bird was, the institu-
tion could not raise the price.
The deal might have fallen through,
but just before the election Dr. W. L
Ralph of Utica, N. Y., a wealthy pri-
vate collector, and a very good friend
of the institution, came through Wash-
ington, and, hearing of the Smithson-
ian’s desire, bought the specimen and
presented it to the institution. Just
what he paid for it does not matter.
It was a bargain. Great auks sell as
high as $1,500 each;
Nestor productus, which is the rare
parrot’s proper name, is an inoffensive-
iooking bird, olive gray as to back and
wings, with a pale vermilion necktie
and a red and yellow waistcoat. The
most remarkable thing about him is
a long, cruel-looking beak, which is
one sign of his close relationship to
the famous sheep-killing parrot of the
Alps.
Like the great auk, this unfortunate
fowl owes its extinction to the sailors,
who hunted its whole family to death.

lllr. Reed’s Little Joke.
At the National Soldiers’ Home near
Milwaukee, there is an ardent admirer
of Thomas B. Reed. He praises him
unstintedly. I asked him why he took
such an interest in the Maine man.
“We served in the Navy, on the same
boat—the Sybil—of the Mississippi
squadron. I was secretary to Com-
mander Mitchell, and Mr. Reed was
paymaster. He drank not, nor did he
chew, smoke or swear, was good-na-
ture itself, and never allowed his work
to get behind. He was a practical
joker. While the captain and most of
the officers were away, a week after
we had been paid, Reed directed the
men to come to his quarters and re-
ceive a month’s pay. We were as-
tonished; the Government had not ac.
quired the habit of paying in advance.
But there was Reed’s written direc‘
tion to come and get another month’s
pay. We gathered around the smootla
faced, happy-hearted young paymaster,
when he handed out to each of us as
many dollars as we were entitled to for
thirty 01' thirty-one days of service,
but they were Confederate dollars.”— .

The Best for Children.
“I believe Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is the best for children I ever used. For
croup it is unequalled. It is. '1 splendid seller
with us. -—-T. M. ECKLES, P11. G. Manager
\Vampum Pharmacy, Wampum, Pa. ”
\Vhen used as soon as the first symptoms
appear, that is as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the croupy cough has
appeared, it will prevent the attack. The
mothers of eioupy childien should bear this
in mind and always keep the remedy at
hand. It is also the best remedy in the
' world for colds and whooping cough. For
sale at 23 and 50 cents per bottle by E. P.

The people of Norwalk have long suf-'
'fered with no relief.
There is probably
no city in the country where that pecu-
liar product of the American climate
_(catarrb) is more prevalent than in
Norwalk. The people of Norwalk know
this, and when the California Catarrh
Cure company, just to prove the effica-
cy of their great remedy,ofi‘ered to take
a large number of tree patients, the
people turned out with a rush, ' Those
who tried it at once told of its great re-
lieving power to scores of others, and
they came in throngs alter the great
medicine.
And California Catarrh Cure has be
gun its work. Relief 1s already reported
in scores of cases. Nothing helped them
till they got California Catarrh Cure.
Many had heard of the hundreds of
cures in Boston and Providence, and
wanted the medicine which worked such
great results. They had read of Mr.
Charles Bayrhofi', a pharmacist, for-
merly located at 178 Broad street,
Providence, who recently said:
“I had a bad case of catarrh. It used
to cause a dropping into the throat that
provoked frequent gagging, often mak-
ing me lose my breakfast. I used One
bottle of California Catarrh Care, and
in three weeks every disagreeable
symptom of the disease had vanished.
I was completely cured.”
Don’t suffer longer with hawking,
snufl‘ing, gagging, bad breath, head-
aches, and all other symptoms; when
there In such a cure as California Ca-
tarrh Care.
If you are troubled with any or all
the symptoms of this disgusting and
humilating disease, procure a bottle of
California Catarrh Care, and you will
get immediate relief.
California Catarrh Cure is sold at R.
H.P1aisted’s drug store. A great big
bottle for 50 cents, and one three times
as large for one dollar.
