The fellow in the cage was puzzled. 1--WE

Al wouldn't know how to fix it so as not to
be delivered at once"
After Il great deal Of cogtation a bright
idea struck him. If you pay the tolls Oh
the words, Don't deliver till O'Clock, y
he said, that will do it all right"
And so the customer paid the extra toll
But did the scheme work? Not much.

Then there came a policeman who asked

liccman hammered at the side of the house
with his nightstick and awoke every one III

In the midst of the uproar'the dispatch
was delivered to the person for whom it was
intended. Trembling at the fear Of a great
bereavement, he opened it and read as fol

A FRIVOLOUS AND SELFISH BIRD.
immoral Life and Eviction of is Hosts and
Fellow Ncstliugs.

\ popular fallacy tells us that a
cuckoo lays eggs in another birds nest.
She docs not She lays eight eggs on
the ground The eggs are i'll size, col
or, spots and shape i'll accordance with
the information obtained, say, in Leigh
woods: Out Of the eight eggs five or
six would closely resemble the hedge
sparrow's. The other two might be
those of q titlark, a wren or n linnet.
Her male fricuds-ab0ut three or four
TO each lady-now come forward, Sc
lcct each an egg and carry it in its
mouth to the nest Of the prearranged
foster mother. Only enc cuckoo egg is
placed in one nest If he finds a cuckoo
has preceded him on the same errand,
lie seeks another cradle, knowing in a
moment, amid ali the eggs present, the
cuckoo pedigree
The deludcd 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.
He manages to wriggle underneath his
brothers and sisters and presents them
as heave Offering to tho expectant ro-
dents, mice, rats stOats and what not,
and within 2 hours of his existence is
the supreme occupier Of tho nest. He
keeps his black mouth wide open contin-
ually, which the father and mother
of the departed chickens as constantly
fill until his body is too big for his
home, and he departs therefrom for
ever.
The cuckoo leaves the last week Of
July. He is restless being, like the
soul of John Brown always marching
on After leaving Europe he begins in
the north of Africa and ends at the Cape
of Good Hope, whence he returns to
Europe i'll the spring Why does he 90
away and why como back: Food-the
food he loves-thc hairy caterpillar He
will eat other grubs, but these are bis
hourly bread.
1t has been estimated in round num-
bers that out of every 100 hairy cater
pillars that wriggle into life 80 are de
voured by cuckoos. Everywhere nature
is careful to maintain her balance. The
cuckoo keeps down the millions Of bill
lions Of hairy caterpillars and preserves
our cornfelds from being eaten up by
hedge sparrows. The cuckoo is a born
conservative. and rs long as he lives re-
turns annually to the neighbOrhOOd Of

BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.
worlds Fair Officials Expose IA Pre-
tender to an Award.

One of the odd results of the Worlds
Fair is the claim now made to awards by
some who were not even exhibitors. Or
ticials OF the exposition have not as yet
taken final action in the matter, believ-
ing the quick wit of the people will de-
tect the spurious claims. But to the
case of a New York baking powder, that
has been widely advertising an award,
the attention of the Chief OF Awards for
Agriculture has been directed. He
brands the claim of this pretender as
false, declaring Neither the records of
this department nor the official catalogue
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition
show that this New York company was
an exhibitors consequently it could not
receive an award at the Worlds Fair"
Those who fairly won their hOnors at
the fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be treat
ed. The Price Baking Powder Company
of Chicago, having received the highest
award, say they are convinced their
claims and those of all other holders of
rightful honors will be fully indicated
by the public.
