when the servant appeared immediate
ly afterward Jocko gave a faint croak
of astonishment. After witnessing this
performance several tiinos it was evi
dent that Jocko began to see some con
nection between the button and the
servant.
He spent a great deal of time study
ing the button, running his beak softly
around It, and apparently communing
with himself, his mistress watching him
meanwhile, highly amused at his clever
ness. At last, whether accidentally oi
otherwise, Jocko discovered the con
nection and pressed the button. The
next moment a servant appeared, and
tlie little schemer straightened up and
said with great gravity, "Jocko's hun
gry." His mistress' shouts of laughter
and tho servant's astonishment did not
In the least discompose him. He had
rung for what he wanted, and he in
sisted on having it.
The scheme worked well, to Jocko's
manifest delight He rang the bell

tho call : "Well, you an a daisy? Jocko

Colonel Johnson is so delighted with
Ills bird's accomplishment that ho in
vited some friends in to witness it last

first, but Anally brightened up, and was
soon working at the button. When the
servant entered Jocko poised himself
on ono foot, swung his body to and fro
in a most affected way, and exclaimed :

Inacrlptlnm on Ancient Swords.
Tho various inscriptions found on
the blades of swords may bo said to
constitute a literature in themselves.
Tills "cutlery poetry," as Shakespeare
colls it, is not tlio least interesting fea
ture of a sword collection. Hundreds
of Toledo rapiers were engraved with
tho wise council, "Do not draw me
without reason, do not sheathe tno
without honor." On an old Ferrara
blade is tlio following inscription, "My
valuo varies with tho band that holds
me." A battle ax of formidable ap
pearance bears tlie comfortable assure
ance, "When I go up you go down,"
and on an old Hungarian sword Is in
scribed, "He that thinks not as I do
thinks falsely."
Besides the mottoes on the blade
aro engraved tho maker's name and
address or tho owner's arms. During
tho Sixteenth century warriors regarded
elaborately ornamented hilts with ns
much interest as wo look on works of
art at tho present day. Tho blades of
It-dian swords wero also sometimes
beautifully ornamented. Kate Field's
Washington.
The Care of a Lamp.
To lessen tho chance of accident from
explosion of a lamp, trim tlie wick of
tho hunp dally. When burned for sev
eral evenings without trimming, the
wick becomes black, clogged and in
capable of supplying tho oil clearly and
uniformly, and tho chimneys are some
times filled with flamo and smoke, to
every one's alarm. Some explosions
would be prevented by not blowing
down tlio chimney to put the lamp
out, for the wick sometimes happens to
bo a little too small, and leaves room
enough to allow tho flame to be drivm,
down into tho oil. Tho safest way to
put out a lamp is to turn the thumb
screw until tho wick goes down past
the top of tho burner. It will then go
out of itself. Detroit Free Press.
