"You are not the first to be fooled by the bird," Mr. T. replied. "Only a few days ago a pearby plumber, whose name | happened to be Joe, called to do & small betore 1 left in the morning. but the man left suddenly, the work was unfinished, and no explanations were given. "The best morning 1 cailed at the shop | and took the workman to task and was told that unless 1 could make my serv- | nis bebave another plumber would have to finish the job. He said that when be 4 =began work he was called to an adjoining room only to be laughed at by the serv- ant, who kept out of sight and called out: " "You old rascal,' and 'You're a beaut, Joe; you are," and when he answered she cailed 'Sick "em!" and guyed him all the time. "Well, you can understand 1 had bard work to make the man believe that It was only a parrot, but be feit cheap enough at being so badly fooled. "Sometimes Joe is very embarrassing.

"He counts, repeats the alphabet, spells many words, whistles, knocks on his" perch like some one at the door and then enters into conversation. " AVhy, come right in; sit down; nice day.

Interesting Relics of David Garriek In the Harvard Library. That the proverb, "There's nothing new | under the'sun," applies to the theater, like | everything else. is shown by two old car | toons that form part of a collection of | over 200 prints illustrating the life of the | great English actor David Garrick which . may be seen in the Harvard library. One of the cartoons is culled "The Theatrical | Steelyards of 1700" and signalizes the success of pantomime at Garrick's Drury | Lane theater after an unsuccessful period | of more seriously written plays--the never ending struggle, that is, between the "le- gitimate" drama. so called, and the theat- rical performance frankly intended to kill time as amusingly as possible. The other reproaches Garrick's desertion of the "le- gitimate' for spectaciilar performances in which, even 'in the eighteenth century, strange aa it may seem to those who im- agine trick scenery and spectacular ef- fects to be a production of modern times, ' costumes and stage carpentry were of thore importance than dramatic art. Io "The Theatrical*Steelyards," or bal: ances, Garrick is depicted as weighing down his contemporary rivals, who are | vainly striving to pull down one arm of the balance while Garrick sits triom- pliantly on the other, and Harlequin dances gleefully in the foreground. The artist is evidently in pathy with the: actor's: success. In other cartoon, however, the artist is in a different mood and represents the £ 'Bétor ds turning from. the mases of and Comedy to embrace the friendship of mechanics and Sostumens. aus of whom bears the significant placard, "Processions For ever." Roscius, the great Roman actor, was the popular pame for Ga , the cartoon is label Behold the Muses Roselus #26 In vain. The same picture, with the naine of al most any modern actor substituted for Roscius, could be readily to illus trate the ups and downs of modern sfuge history. Disinfecting Rooms. It is not sufficient in cleaning rooms that have been occupied by persons sick with contagious diseases to simply expose them to disinfecting vapors. The floors and woodwork should be thoroughly scoured with a disinfecting fluid, and the walls and ceiling ehould also be carefully ined. If the latter are covered with paper, tiothing short of its removal will effectual, as wall paper has unques- bly the power of absorbing conta- gitdus matters in a way that prevents the ordinary processes of disinfection reach- ing them. This is all the more imperative where there are several thicknesses of The Tertinry Epoch.

McKay, of Sutton, Ont, permanently cured of lung trouble by Powley's Liquified Ozone. January Tth, 1902.--"8ince March, 1901, | have attended my 'occupation as baggageman on the Midland Division of the G.T.R.; stood all the exposure without the least bad effect. | never felt better in my life than at the present time, | weigh more than ever | did before, and consider myself permanently cured of Consumption through taking Powley's Liquified Ozone. (Signed) WM. McKAY, Sutton West, Ont." It is just one , that Wm. McKay, of Sutton West, Ont., bag- on the Midland Division of the G. T. R., gave us his statement to the effect that he was ctited of pulmonary tuberculosis by Powley's Liquified Ozone. We invited the widest possible investigation of his case at: that time, as we do now, and le found it absolutely true in every detail. We would like the physicians of Canada to appoint a committee to examine Mr. McKay now and make a public report as to his condition at the present time. "We will assist them in any and every way in our power to look into this "case aud judge for themselves as to his wonderful recovery. When we in- vestigated Mr. McKay's case a year ago, wen ived sworn statements' from the following responsible citizens of Sutton 'est, in corroboration of the sworn statement made by him, fe: from Jas. McEachern, Mr. McKay's baggage-mate; E. M. Fiske, station agent; M. McCarthy, conductor on Midland Division G.T.R.: Dr. Frank Daley, V.S; W. P. Cole, J. P., Clerk Division Court Member County Council; Hiram Johnson, proprietor Mam- moth Store, and Alonzo Forsyth, milkman, Toronto. His wife, Mrs. Rhea McKay, also made a statement as did Rev. A. P. Brace, pastor of the Metho- dist church, all of Sutton West. We will furnish copies of these or the originals at any time to any physician or any society or league who arel "working: to stamp out Consumption--to help them in this investigation. We desire the fullest isle. examination of all McKay's condition while he suffered with lung trouble and his cure by Powley's Liquified Ozone. We want to know that this,as well as every other case we publish is a citation of facts--purely and simply. We believe .that Powley's Liquified Ozone will cure Consumption or pulmonary tuberculosis if the patient has only the remnant of a pair of lungs to wor . It wont give a man new lungs, if they are all gone. If any tissues re- main, however, Ozone will build them up by feeding the blood oxygen--it's natural food--will destroy the germs of ouse; Ee sound flesh and bring him back step by step to life and health. ar Mr. McKay's Statement.
