The Rev. George S. Rainsford, Of st.

a surprise on his parishioners by de

support Of the Democratic National
ticket. Among some denominations

There is a bird in New Guinea
called the megapodius, which, in the
size of its eggs and It's manner of
Matching them, must be reckoned
with things outside the bounds of the
ordinary. This rara avis is about the
size of the common Plymouth Rock
hen, yet it's eggs are four inches long
by nearly three inches in diameter.
These birds do not attempt to set
upon their eggs in the ordinary way.
A colony of them will nest together
in large mound, WHICH is built by
the birds themselves of sticks, sand,
leaves, stones, grass, etc. When the
vegetable matter of this curious nest
mound decays the heat it generates,

of the nest for that purpose.
The mother birds wait around until
their broods are Matched, then each

1T is many years now since the
name of Rose Terry became familiar
to the magazine reading public. Miss
Terry wrote graceful verses and hum
orOus stories that commanded a wide
circle of admirers. She was the
pioneer in dialect stories Of New En-
gland life, and Notwithstanding that
Miss Phelps, Miss Jewett, Miss Nc
Lean and Miss Pool have followed in
the same vein of writing she still
maintains foremost place. She was
among the first of American women
to disprove the old time male SANDER
that women have no sense of humor,
and the "Deacon's Week, 'tHopson's
Choice" somebody's Neighbors, -
"a Gift Horse" and numerous other
tales fairly entitle her to a place
among the humorists. Her poems
are of a more serious cast, but they
are invariably pleasing and linger in
the memory like the sound Of tuneful
bells. Among these are 1.-THE Two
Villages 81 ''Segovia and Madrid. -
''New Moon, "AIy Cup" 1.-THE Good
Shepherd" and nearly all of her bal
lads. Mrs. Cooke was a typical New
England woman, educated, accom-
plished, delightful companion, as
wise as she was witty, and always full
of good works. In her youth she was
exceedingly beautiful, her large dark
eyes, black hair and sweet expression
rendering her noticeable in all COM
panies. And yet she did not marry
untib considerably past middle age.
Whether there was a romance in heI
life has not been told. She was popu-
lar writer for fifty years, and this is
demonstration of high merit Posi-
bly, what she wrote will not be re-
membered after another fifty years,
but if it is it will be read with the
same pleasure which has been felt and
acknowledged by all her contempor
aries. So truly did she delineate the
| life she saw.

THE Legislature of New York last
winter passed a law forDidding de-
scent by parachute from balloons.
If similar statute were passed in
other States there would be an end
of such accidents as that reported
from Ohio, when a woman aeronaut
lost her life because the parachute
which she carried in her descent
failed to open. Tt would seem to be
unnecessary to pass laws to prevent
men and women from needlessly risk
ing their lives.
