Then the measure larger grew. 
And the habit strengthened, too, 
Till it would no curbing bear; 
So the demon Drink decoys; 
Soul and body both destroys. 
It was but one little word. 
Softly spoken, scarcely heard, 
Uttered by a single breath ; 
But it dared to take in vain

ANECDOTES OF PARROTS 
BY KIIKN E. RLXFOR1) 
I avonder Iioav many of the boy and girls 
avIio may road this, liavo ever sea ii a parrot ? 
It seems strange, when avu litink of it, that 
birds can talk as -we talk. All birds talk, of 
courso, but not by the use of words, such as 
Are employ in communicating ideas to each 
other. 
A great many anecdotes are extant regard¬ 
ing parrots. I am going to tell you some 
new ones, which J am sure none of you have 
ever seen or heard. 
My great-grandfather Avas a sailor, and on 
one of his voyages he caught two fine par¬ 
rots and brought them home with him. One 
of them died shortly after he reached home, 
but the other lived for nearly thirty years 
after that, and proved to be a source of much 
amusement not only to the family but to the 
whole neighborhood; for parrots, in those 
days, Avere quite uncommon. 
I have often heard my mother tell about 
the first time she ever saw Poll. Poll was 
always ready !o make the acquaintance of 
strangers, consequently when she saw my 
mother she signified her desire to be let out 
of her cage. My mother had heard much 
of Avonderful Poll, and was as eager for an 
acquaintance as Poll, Accordingly Poll was 
taken from her cage and placed on the back 
of a chair close by where my mother wns 
sitting. For some time she eyed my mother 
closely, turning her head slowly from side 
to side. At length, she bent over her head, 
and said, “ Scratch Poll’s poll, ma’am,” hold¬ 
ing her “ poll,” as she called her head, in a 
convenient position to be scratched. 
My mother, of course, was eager to com¬ 
ply Avitli the parrot’s request, ami stretched 
out her hand to scratch the bird’s head. 
The moment her hand came within reach of 
the parrot’s bill, however, she snapped at it 
fiercely, biting it so that it bled, 
“ Ha ! ha! ho! ho !” laughed Poll,

occasioned. 
When she was young, Poll’s bill was so 
strong and sharp that she could bile a piece 
out of a wool hat. She seemed to delight in 
biting. Babies, however, site would never 
injure. “ Sweet baby! sweet baby!” she 
would say, clicking her bill together as 
though sin; -was smacking her lips. 
Poll was eccentric. Site would talk with 
first one and then another of my great¬ 
grandfather’s family, but never two at, once. 
Sometimes her fancy for one member would 
last for three or four months. Then she 
would have nothing to do with that person, 
but would select some one else to converse 
with. On one of those occasions, slie got. 
out of her cage and flew aivay into the 
meadow. As it happened, the person who 
enjoyed her confidence just at that time was 
absent. So it proved to be in vain for them 
to attempt to find her by calling her. She 
would not answer one of them. They hunt¬ 
ed high and low, far and near. No Poll 
was to he found. 
The next morning her “confidant” came 
back. He was informed of the flight of Poll. 
OH' he started for the meadow. 
“ Poll! Poll! where are you ?” he called. 
“ Here 1 am,” answered a weak voice close 
by, and presently Poll made her appearance, 
her feathers bedraggled in dew, her wings 
hanging by her side, and her generally pert 
appearance entirely gone. On seeing him, 
she cried shrilly—
