A FRIVOLOUS AND SELFISH BIRD.

Immoral life and Eviction of Its Hosts and
Fellow Ncstlings.
A popular fallacy tells us that a
cuckoo lays eggs III another birds nest.
She does not. She lays eight eggs on
the ground. The eggs are in size. col
or, spots and shape in accordance with
the information obtained, say, in Leigh
woods: Out of the eight eggs ] v or
six would closely resemble the hedge
sparrow's The other two might be
those of q titlark, a wren or q hnnet.
Her male friends-about three or o
to each laay-now come forward, Sc"
lect each an egg and carry it IN its
mouth to the nest of the prearranged
foster mother. Only one cuckoo egg is
placed in one nest. If he finds q cuckoo
has preceded him ON the same errand,
he seeks another cradle, knowing in a
moment. amid all the eggs present, the
cuckoo pedigree.
The deluded mother matches the in.
| truder with her own brood, and the in
| terloper, having the faculty of being
| Matched sooner than the others, is OF
course the first to come out of his shell.

SENATOR %GALLINGER.

Senator Gallinger was called TO &C
count after his first Sioux Falls speech
IN reference to his data showing the In
crease and distribution OF wealth in the
United States and also the comparison
of statistics between the east and the
west. The Forum was especially viru-
lent in charging the Senator with de-
~ception in the use OF the census figures
claiming that the wealth OF the United
States was not s65, 000,00oO,0Oo but only
s25,473,173,41S, and that the wealth OF
South Dakota was not what he repre-
sented 1t TO be-. The same criticisms OF
Senator Gallinger's speech were made
by popullsts OF this place. The Senator
has spoken il Sioux Falls G second time
and had taken occasion, in the mean
while, to fortify his position by request
ing a statement OF the census statistics
on the disputed points from the very
man ir the census bureau whom the
Forum quoted as authority for Its own
figures. The answer bears out Senator
Gallinger 10 every point and proves con
| clusively that the populist was the one
who was Juggling the census figures and
not the senator. Here rs the reply
which the Senator had the pleasure OF
reading to his audience for Mr.. Buchan-

a queer Marriage Ceremony.

between Thomas tilshy and Ursnla
Bridget. Ursula could talk fast enough,
bat Thomas was q deaf mute, andfa II
was required that promises should be ex
changed in spoken words nobody knew
how 10 manage the thing. Finally Tic
bishop of London helped to devise q
service by signs. and Thomas proceeded
thus:
Having first taken Ursula in his arms,
he took her by the hand and put the
nuptial ring on her finger. He then laid
his right hand significantly ON his heart,
and afterward, putting their palms 70,
gether, extended both his hands toward
heaven. Having thus sued for divine
blessing, he declared his purpose TO live
with Ursula till death should separate
them by closing his eyelids with bis
fingers, digging the earth with his feei
