To-day's Short Story. I YARN OF A PARROT. Once upon a time, in far awav Persia, there lived a merchant who had a very beautiful parrot. He had bought the bird of a trader from Hindoostan. He kept it in a fine large cage and took the greatest possible care of it. But the parrot pined for his native land and often implored his master to let him, out so that he could go free. The merchant, however, always refused, as the bird was a very wise one, and he valued it exceedingly. One night the parrot heard the merchant laying plans for a journey to Hindoostan, and the cunning bird laid a, plan of his own, eo that he, too, might go there on his own aooount. The next day the merchant told his friends what he proposed to do, and asked them. what presents they would like him to bring back from the wonderful land of jewels and elephants whither he was going. So each of them, chose something they would be pleased to have him get for them. The merchant then asked the parrot what present he would like. The parrot answered: "Dear master, I only want you to take a nvssage from mo to any other parrots you may meet in Hindoostan. Give them my compliments. Tell them. I am shut up in a big cage here, but that I do not forget them. Tell them, also, I would like their advice and inetru-ctjon. That is all." The merchant promised faithfully to j deliver the message, though he wondered somewhat at the words in which he was to I address the parrots. Then, he set out on his journey to Hindoostan. 'I In due time he arrived there safely, and for a while he was eo busy he forgot about the parrot's message. But one day as he was passing through an open field he saw cereml parrots in a, tree overhead. Then be remembered what he had promised to his own parrot, and stopped his horse under the tree. He called to tne parrots and delivered the message to them., taking care to give it exactly 3, his parrot had worded it. The parrots above him listened very atten- tively, and for a while after they seemed to be considering. Then one of the parrots suddenly began to tremble and dropped down dead. The merchant, perceiving this, was very much grieved at heart and blamed his own parrot for sending a message that had ro- suited iu the death of one of his feathered relations. He went on his way and pro- ceeded to finish his business in Hindoostan, and upon that, being accomplished returned home. His family and friends welcomed hun joyfully, and to each he gave the pre- sent they had chosen. Then the parrot asked him: "Where is my present? Tell me what you said to the parrots in Hindoostan and what they said in reply." "Yonr message was the message of a fool," returned the merchant, "and I waa a fool to deliver it!" The parrot appeared greatly astonished. "My lord," said be, "why this repentance, Why this wrath, why this sorrow?" And the merchant answered, "I stated thy message lo a, flock of your relatives, and one of them so felt, the incense of their grief tlW, he fell over and died of a broken heart." When the parrot heard this it, too, began to tremble, and falling from its perch died likewise. When the master saw this, he was over. whelmed with sorrow because of the death of his bird friend, and cast his cap on the ground as a, token, of his grief. Then he took up the body of the parrot a.nd cast it out into the garden, when lo! the cunning ¡ bird flew away to a high tree near by. At this his master flew into a great rage and demanded an explanation for his deceitful ( conduct. Whereupon the parrot answered: "Dear Blaster, you have been, very kind to me, but liberty is sweet. How would you like to be shut ap in a c3--e-? But know that the parrot who fell down dead when he heard my message was only acting a part. By doing so ha meant to convey to me through you the means of escape. I am new going hack to Hindoostan, but I wiil return again and bring you a. present aa a. reward for your kindness to me as a captive. Fare- well i" So eayiog the parrot flew away. He was I absent so long tila merchant concluded that he had forgotten all about bis promised present in the joys or his recovered liberty. But one day when the big Persian roeee in t-?e merchant's garden we a 11 ?MooTn. and j Be bunaelf was walking about -Lni enjoying their fragrance, ho hoard hM a:<.mc ca!!cd. and, looking up, beheld his old friend, Mr. Parrot, perched r;r. a branch overhead, and holding something in one crooked claw. "Here, master," said the bird, "I have fcroagbt you your present. Woar it, and it will preserve you from all misfortune and hwa. Hold out your rolx, and I will drop it in." Thfa Tnerrliatrt did as he W2 bidden, and tftve parrot dropped a. shining something within, its folds and immjediately after flew .wa.y. uever more to return. Tbo fiiiBroTjc BQgaoi&ing prored ta beLA j&ustL wonderful emerald, cut in the form of an eye, and engraved on the back with mystic symbols. The merchant showed it to the W?e men of Bagdad, and they one and all agreed that not only was it a priceless gem, but that the parrot in all probability had pecked it out of the eye socket of some Hin- doostan idol. Thereupon the merchant ordered it to be set in a gold frame, and wore it ever a.fter as a charm against the evil eye, ae the parrot had directed.

I For Women Folk HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I Parsley will keep fresh for several days if put into a tin and covered down, tight. The most suitable dresses for children to wear when playing: on the sands are holland dresses, as they are easily got up. It is .not generally known that a pail of water, with a good handful of sweet hay in it will absorb all unpleasant smell from a freshly-painted room. I Coffee Cream Ice To eight yolks of eggs add a large cup of strong-made coffee, a pint of boiled milk, and 8oz. of sugsar. Stir this over the fire until the eggs are set in the cream, and then strain, the custard through a, ha,ir sieve; add half a pint of double cream; freeze. Furniture Polish. I Equal parts of vinegar, linseed oil, and 1 methylated spirit, and half the quantity of turpentine, well shaken, to be applied, after the furniture has been, washed with vinegar and water, with a pieoe of flannel and polished with two soft dusters. A brilliant surface will be the result. I

You can he catching flies and putting them into our new patent fly-trap, so that it will be ready to put in the window. Two young fellows, who had good opinions of themselves, went out driving in a trap recently. Passin.g through a pretty wood- land, they came upon a party of girls sketch- ing. The youth who was driving, as soon as be came opposite the artiste, suddenly pulled up the horse, and, putting on his most fas- c,inating air, said: "Yoll can put us in your sketch if you like, ladies." Whereupon the youngest of the girls looked up and quietly said: "Thanks; but as we are not sketching tropical scenery we don't require any, monkeys to paint in." The drive was continued in silence. FIIA-NXLY ACKNOWLEDGED. "I say, you told me it would be a good thing if I put money in this business, didn't you?" I believe I did." Well, I've lost every ha.lf-penny." Yes. I thought possibly you would." You thought I would? Confound you, you jtwt acknowledged t.hat you told me it would be a good thing." It ae--for me."

j DEATH FROM ANTHRAX. In spite of the new regulations for the prevention of anthrax, the dreaded bacillus still continues to claim its victims amongst the wool workers of Bradford. A coroner's jury yesterday found that the death of Charles James, a wool wil'eyer, of Bowling, emnoyed by a firm of wool combers, at Alma Works, was due to anthrax poison- ing contracted whilst employed upon a process in connect iun with Russian caanel hair. Dceased had complained of pains in the stomach and fainted, death ensuing the following day.

He was subsequently found by the road- side dead and frozen. The corpse was 3)1,w4c,i -.11 an outbuilding near a stove in order that it might be thawed, when the nit.-o-srlreerine exploded inside the corpse and Tiz!iied the building."

Troubles of Landlords. AN EXPLANATION AT CARDIFF POLICE-COURT. A case that was heard at Cardiff Police- court the other day came up in another form to-day before the same justices (Messrs. D. Dunoan and J. P. ljjgledew). Mr. Scott, (Messrs. Morgun, Scott, and Soott), addressing their worships, asked leave to men- tion a case which came before their wor- ships on Monday last, in which a person named Donoghue was charged with keeping a disorderly house in Millioent-street. The case was dismissed, but it transpired that the house was the property .of Mr. Hagon, chemist, 5, Bute-street, and a remark was made from the Bench, which, unfortunately, had a meaning attached to it which was, he thought, contrary to their wor- ships' intention, viz., that Mr. Hagon could himself have prevented the premises being used for the purpose alleged. In jus- tice to -Mr. Hagon, he explained that he and his family before him had held property in the district lor more than half a century, and until six months ago he never had any cause to complain, nor had any complaint been made, of any of his tenants. Six months ago there was a case similar to the one in question. Mr. Hagon heard of it before he had notice from the police, and he instantly dismissed the tenant, without waiting to 'ascertain the result of the polioe-court proceedings. Since then no complaint had been. made until now, and Mr. Scott proceeded to point out that his client in this ca-,earcepted the tenants on the faith of a testimonial from his employers, with whom he had been engaged for twelve years. He had also a testimonial from Donoghue's previous landlord, and, therefore, he ventured to say that Mr. Hogan had done his best. Mr. Hogan was so anxious to keep his pre- mises in proper order that he had dismissed the tenant, and, therefore, he asked the magistrates to say that his client bad dis- charged his duties satisfactorily. Mr. David Duncan remarked that nodo-Lihta, great deal of difficulty was experienced by owners of that class of property, for from the explan:ation made it was quite clear that Mr. Hagon had taken all the measures he should have done under the circumstances. Still, the fact remained that the police a-llege-d the house was carried on for this purpose; there was a previous conviction when a former tenant was in possession, and the place was still owned by the same land- lord. The owner of the property should have been present when the case was. tried, and he would then have had an opportunity of making a, statement. Mr. Scott replied that Mr. Hagon had no knowledge of the charge, and that the police did not give him notice. Mr. Duncan: That is my point. He should have information, and the police should give notification in future cases. Court-offlcer-Eergeant Price undertook to see that such notification was always given.

COFFIN LID NAILED DOWN. I A member of the Westhampnett (Sussex) Guardians, the Rev. W. W. Kelly, yesterday sent a letter of complaint to the board in regard to a coffin provided for a man on whom an inquest was lately held in his parish. He said the lid of the coffin would not screw down properly, and that, as a police- man and two others could not manage it, he bad to drive the screws through with a hammer and nail the lid down with long nails. The policeman and the two other men," he added, can state how painful this was to our feelings." In an explanation the undertaker con- cerned suggested that the coffin lid had warped by being left in the sun daring the viewing of the body. The guardians expressed regret at the occurrence.

I DEUTSCHLAND DAMAGED. I The Atlantic liner Deutgchland, with 1,500 passengers on board, collided with the Prince of Waleg's, Pier at Dover yesterday, and was SQ badly injured that she has been Unable to proceed on her voyage. She was leaving the port stern first when the hawser by which she was attached to the tugs snapped. To get the vessel out of harbour the engines were ordered to go -astern, but by some mistake the engines were put ahead, and the veesel crashed into the granite pier. Her bows were badly damaged, the plates being doubled back to the starboard and her fore compartment filled with water. The liner will return to Hamburg, and her mails and passengers have been landed at Dover to travel on other boats.

I A PARTNERSHIP STORY. I Henry Weare, 43, labourer, was charged at Cardiff Quarter Sessions this morning with stealing a shirt, muffler, and other articles, of the value of about 8s., from William Apple- yard, another lodger a.t the Workmen's Hote i, Bute-street. Prisoner's story was he and prosecutor had been mates, tramping the country together, sharing each other's food, and pawning each other's clothing whenever necessity required this unusual proceeding. The jury failed to accept this statement as a truthful tale, and found prisoner guilty. He was sentenced to four months' hard labour, previous convictions being proved against him. Mr. Douglas Lewis (instructed by Mr. Sydney Jenkins) prosecuted.

I HONESTY OF PUBLIC SERVANTS At Bristol Assizes yesterday Albert Edward Coram, a Post Office official, was sentenced to nine months' hard labour for stealing from parcels which passed through his hands. Prisoner had previously borne a good char- acter, and counsel appealed for leniency for the sake of his family. Mr. Justice Lawrence said prisoner should have thought of that before yielding to temptation The Post Office was one of the most important services under the Crown, and the public confidence depended entirely upon the honesty of its employes. Besides, prisoner had caused distrust to fall upon iii fellow servants, and his offence could not be treated with leniency.

PARTED WITH HIS WATCH. I Collier Waits a Long Term." A Cardiff lad, named Percy Miller, told the Recorder a peculiar srtory at the quarter sessions this morning during the hearing of a charge against Frederick Churchill, 23, wilier, of fraudulently converting to his own use a watch, valued 18s., the property of the lad. Miller, who lives in Wyeverne-road, said be travelled in the saime compartment as prisoner to the Ehymney Station, Cardiff. Prisoner told him that if he would lend him his watch till they got to the Docks he would give him half-a-crown. The lad agreed, and on reaching the Hayes prisoner asked him to go to the Great Western Station and fetch him a box which was there in the name of Hopkins. Miller found no box there, nor did he find Churchill when he returned to the Hayes. The watch, was arterwards traced to a pawnbroker's shop at Bristol, and the pawnbroker recognised the prisoner a3 the mam who had pledged it. Having been found guilty, a. long string of convictions for all kinds of offences was proved against him. Prisoner, whose pa-rente live at Cardiff, asked the Recorder not to send him to a local prison, but to send him away for a long term, as he thought that would do him more good. The Recorder said he did not like to send him to penal servitude, as he was only 23 years of age. He would be sentenced to twelve months' bard labour.

JOHN JONES SENT TO GAOL. At the Cardiff Quarter Sessions to-day, a Manchester thief, who is well-known to the police, a-nd bears the euphonious and "un- common" name of John Jones, pleaded guilty of breaking into the warehouse of Messrs. Spillere Nephews, Ltd., on Thursday last. He could not very well deny the impeach- ment, as he was caught on the premises by an engineer employed by the firm, who had to return to the warehouse unexpectedly. Over a dozen convictions have been recorded against JÜUet3, and he was sent baock to pri- son for four months.

Sir John said that his report would be in the hands of the Government in a few days, and, until it was published, he conM make no comment. My lips aTe sealed," he said.

"ASSOCIATE OF THIEVES" I Breaks Into Cardiff Warehouse At Cardiff Quarter Sessions to-day Alfred Measure, 29, labourer, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the warehouse of William Alfred Rogers, in Cottrell-road, Cardiff. He was also charged with assault- ing Detective-sergeant William Gretton in the execution of his duty, but he pleaded not guilty to this offence. The detective-sergeant said that on the way to fTie police-station prisoner made a dash down Broadway, and when witness caught him he kicked witness violently on the hip. They then closed, with the result that prisoner tripped him up and kicked him on the hand. He had not been able to fully use his hand since. A London police officer proved previous convictions, and stated that whilst in Lon- don he was the associate of a very dangerous gang of thieves. Prisoner said he had been in Cardiff. where his wife lives, for the past fifteen months, and had been trying to make a living honestly, but a child died, and he was five weeks in arrears with his rent, and hard pressed for money at the time of the offence. He was sentenced to six months' hard labour for breaking into the premises, and to four month*' hard labour for the un- lawful wounding, the terms to run consecu- tively. Mr. R. C. K. Ensor (instructed by Mr. Sydney Jenkins) prosecuted.

Epsom Salts in Boots —— HOW LEATHER IS ADULTERATED. Remarkable particula-m respecting the adulteration of American leather imported into England were given at the resumed sit- ting of th-e Sanitary Congress in Bristol yes- terday. Mr. F. Spark Evans, of Bristol, who con- tributed a, paper 011 the subject, said such adulteration was of somewhat recent growth, and it seemed clear that a good portion of the blame must rest on the British public, whose one idea was cheapness. To test the extent of adulteration, English merchants had recently sent eighteen samples of American loather to two leading analytical chemists. They found an average of 7 per cent, added glucose a.nd 2 per cent. Epsom salts. On this average, and on the basis of leather imported from the United States for the year ended June 30, 1905, we pa.id ES4,000 for what cost £ 9,000. Leather adulterated thus with glucose and Epsom salts could not afford protection against water that leather which was free from these materials could. Dr. Pilkmgton, medical officer of health for Preston, regretted that clogs were going out of fashion among female cotton operatives.

Cycling and Motoring. BY "SPOKES." Motorists had better beware of police activity on the road between Cardiff a.nd Newport. On Sunday Last the timee of a large number of oars were taken. Welsh professional sports promoters who were anxious to obtain the entries of Bert Howard and Teddy Callaghan will, after all. be disappointed. I learn officially that the N.C.U. has refused both riders professional lioenoes. As both are exoedingly popular in South Wades, this will be regretted. Attention has been called in this column on several occasions to the silly practice of com- petitors in looking round when racing. Last season I witnessed a smaeh up through this practice on the Pontypridd track. There are, undoubtedly, riders who in all their races turn round to keep an eye on their most dangerous opponents, waiting for them to put in their sprint. The current "N.C.U. Review" states that the North Yorks Centre intend ending the careers of these "lookers- round" on the racing path. South Wales should follow suit. The world's championships this season will be held at Geneva on July 29 and August 2 and 5. England should do well in the amateur events. Will the N.C.U. send our speediest professional, 8yd Jenkins, of C-a.rdiff, over? August 25 is the date definitely decided upon for the National Cyclists' Union Champion- ships to be decided at Newport, Mon. The Newport C.C. very sensibly draw up their runs monthly. This is preferable to the a.rra.ngement of a list to last the whole summer, as most clubs arrange. There are many things which oftentimes arise to make it necessary to alter the runs when the latter system is followed. The runs of the Newport C.C. for July are as follow:—July 14th, Pantyreos; 19th., Mon- mouth; 21st, St. Bride's; 26th, St. Fagan's; 28th, Newbridge-on-Usk. The evening section of the club have arranged runs to D¡;k on the 19th and to St. Mellon'e on the 26th. Bert Andrews has any amount of heart. Within week of his bad smash at Coventry, and whilst still an inmate of the hospital, Bert wrote to the hon. secretary of the Man- chester Wheelers, reminding him not to forget to send him an invitation to race at their sports. Of course, when it came the doctors had. to intervene and stop its accept- ance. The incident proves that the Car- marthen lad liC as plucky as he is speedy. A. quick and complete recovery we all wish him- The Carmtrthen champion hopes to be fit to turn out ia the English Amateur Cham- pionsbip at Newport on August 25. His aooi- dent, however, and his absence from training: will, beyond doubt, affect his ohancos. If he wii)&-well, it will be due to his plucx. Syd. Jenkins- is very -swnxious to meet Ben yon -in a ma.tc-ft at-Pontypridd prior to August Bank Holiday. He has written to the ex-amateur champion to this effect. Un- doubtedly, such a match would cause the greatest interest in cycling circles, for both men are stoutly supported for honours. Down here I fancy we should pin our faith on tha Cardiff ma-o From close observation during the last few weeks, I am in thorough accord with those cyclists who hold that the dust nu-lsoqiee would be greatly—and very gjeatly, too- lessened if motorists would only travel at a reasonable rate where the roa.d5 are very dusty, when there is any traffic or pedes- trians about. The example of the Manchester Wheelers, in arranging for one hundred poor children to spend a week at a seaside oam.p, i6 one that might be followed by similar organ.iea- itons. Are there no wealthy athlotio, cycling, or automobile clubs in Wales? No less than 131 cycling accidents, twenty of which were fatal, were reported in the press during June. Quite a la.rge number of the accidents were due to brake inefficiency. A cyclist has been very seriously injured by being thrown at Machen. From what I gl mn, the accident occurred at the old spot which some years ago became notorious as a veritable death-trap for cyclists. If I mistake not, no lees than threa fatal acci- dents have occurred them. &u,rely the Mon- mouthBhire County Council have shown great laxity in aHowing such a dangerous Btretch of road to exist 60 long. On Wednesday next a cricket match takes plaoe which will, doubtless, cause great I interact. Syd Jenkins has challenged the Cardiff Centrals to a straggle. The losers to pay for supperi. R-yd Jenkins's side will be chosen from Syd Jonkins (English cham- piOll, Tom James (Welsh champion), H. Reynolds (Irish champion), Fred Lewis (winner of the War Memorial sprint). J.

I BASEBALL. The tragic death of poor Hill at Grange- town last Saturday, when bowling for his club, cast quite a gloom in baseball circles. The deceased was a great farvourite with all the league clubs, and waø one of the cleverest bowlers in the competition. The Welsh Association were represented at Mr. Hill's funeral, and also sent a. wreath. There appears to be no immediate prospect of an amalgamation between the British Baseball Aseooiation and the Welsh Associa- tiou The former seem aniious to keep to the American yule&. whilst we in Wales consider that we have greatly improved upon them. Llew Lewis has played under both sets of rales, and as he is one of our keenest veteraais his opinion is of weight. Mr. Lewis considers thaA the game as played in Wales is far better for the players, and decidedly rnON attractive for spectators. The various baoeball chibs in Wales are maintained solely by the contributions of the membeK. It is, therefore, satisfactory to learn tV-t the Welsh Association has decided to only grant tra-nafers to players who have paid their subscriptions to their clubs. This will prevent defaulters from changing their clubs to avoid payment.
