WATER THAT E,.. -LODED.
A Bartender's Experience Under Fire of a
fusillade of Seltzer.
"Do you know," said Billy Clark, of
the Grand hotel, to a Cincinnati Times
Star reporter, as a big seltzer bottle
fizzed and two or three men on the out
side elevated a foot each on the railing
and looked on, "that these seltzer
water bottles will explode easily?"
And the three men each puta foot down
on the lioor aud moved slightly away.
"Sometimes just the temperature of the
hand will do it, the warm hand, placed
against it while bringing it from a cold
room, or sometimes while lifting it one
will strike it itgainwt the counter and it
will explode and the metal top will be
driven with great force by the pas.
One time, while at theGibson, I refused
to give a man a drink. He took it very
much to heart and went away vowinjy
he would get even with me. I had
turned about as he went out and had
my back to him. Suddenly there cam'
a sound like a pistol shot. I tried to
turn around and couldn't, and I was
sure the man had carried his threat
into effect and liad shot me. Directly 1 iind myself now sweeping the line
following that explosion came another
and another, and there was a rapid r.uc
cession of explosions. Then I luew
the man had 0)cnrd a regular fnr.!l!:uie

WIDOWS TAKE TO PARROTS.
Folly Is a Great Favorite with tho Tono
Women.
Parrots have never been suspected
of having a mission in life but one linn
been discovered for them in Broo1 l; u.
An attendant in a shop where imimub
and birds are the stock in trade wiw
asked if all the parrots th:it talked v.eio
trained by sailors, savR the New York
World. .
".Not at nil," he snid. "If you should
come in here during the week follow
ing the arrival of a cargo of parrots
you would .soon find out that there nic
a lot of women in New York who make
it almost a profession to train panoli.
The best customers we have, hov ever,
are Brooklyn widows. There is one
woman who conieB in after nhiiotsl.
every cargo we receive and buys at
least one or two parrots, sometimes
more, which she intends to teach to
talk. The women who do that nre
mostly widows. How do I know. Why,
they tell us so. And why do you sup
pose they want the parrots? It's for
company, they say. They say they are
lonely and the parrots are company,
because after they talk to them enough
the parrot talks Lack.
"That is why widows like parrots
better than eai nrirs. they say. One in
how many of them indulge unconscious
ly in this little habit. I only hope it
does not mean anything as serious as
H might iudicate if that nerve special
ist's diagnosis was a good one."

The Snake Had the Beit of It.
A Quaker driving a single horse
chaise up a narrow lane happened to
meet ti young man who was also in a
single horse choise. There was not
room enough for them to pass each
other, unless one of them would back
his carriage, which both refused. "I'll
iot make way for you," said the young
fellow, with an oath. "1 think I am
older than thou art." said the Quaker,
"aud therefore have a, right to expect
thee to make way for me." "I won't,"
resumed the first. He then pulled out
a newspaper and began to read, as he
Mit still in his chaise. The Quaker, ob
serving him, pulled out a pipe and some
tobacco from his pocket, lighted his The Weekly iluyei.r
pipe, and sot and puffed away very
comfortably. "Friend," said he, "when
thou hast read that paper I should be
glad if thou wouldst lend it to me."
