insane Jabber of the Great Tragedian


l was walking along Market street,
in San Francisco, the other morning,
writes Amber in the Chicago Her
aid, reyeling as usual in the flowers
that line the curbstones Of that
thOroughfare, when my attention
was attracted by placard swinging
from the entrance to the photograph
establishment
"Come in, it read, 'and hear the
rawlings OF John Mccullough in his
cell at BlOomingdalen
l had known the great actor in his
lifetime, and many a night had sat
enthrailed by the magic of his genius.
So it was with well-detned thrill
OF nervous horror that 1 entered the
esta blis1ment, Inserted the two rub
Der tubes of the instrument within
my ears and Caught the familiar
tones of that deep voice, hushed for
long years in death. Anyone who
has ever heard the great tragedian's
rendering Of "Virginus'' could not
fail to recognize the masters voice in
the photographic rendition. But
woven through it, like stain Of in
effacable blood in rich fabric, runs
the awful impress Of madness. 1t
lends to the lines an awfulness i'm.
possible to describe. And when the
imprisoned utteranCes break off in a
wild peel Of laughter that seems so
real that the listener involuntarily
drops his hold and glances over his
shoulder to see what hooking flend
is at his elbow, the effect becomes
indescribable in its intensity. hope
it may never chance to anyone who
reads these lines to hear a madman's
laugh, but should such experience be
theirs they will have some idea of the
impression made by the phonograph
instrument that caught the echoes Of
poor McCullough's maniac mirth and
perpetuated it forever upon its deli
cate plates of magnetic ed steel. The
sharp catches for breath, the rafting
in the throat the wild shouts and
nasal spasms, all were there until,
half faint with horror, l dropped the
tubes and staggered from the place.
He Vas Dlsgusted. go
A German antiquarY recently re-
ceived severe shock from which it
took him some time to recover. In
his researches he discovered an old
stoue in building. 1t was distinctly
marked 1851 in worn out figures.
Imagine the delight Of the antiquary
at finding such a valuable relic as
this! He cheerfuily paid the price
demanded and mad it sent to his re-
sidence, leaving strictest inJunctions
as to the care with which it was to
be handled when it arrived What
was his disgust to find that they had
sent him the wrong stone, for the
date was not the same. sob, that's
all right" replied the former owner
when grandfather had the stone
set in his barn it was put in upside
down. The real date is 1901, not 1881.
You see, you can set it either way,
but it lit grandfather's barn better
upside down" 1t is said that dis
gusted as the antiquary was at his
purchase, he paid the former owner
an extra price to keep the matter
quiet.

An Outline of the Principles of Mod

Boston. Cloth, sl.0O. Mr. Wright's init
mate acquaintance with the late Madame
Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophi-
cal Society, and his position as her secre-
tary Tor several years, has given him a
wide acquaintance with the theosophical
phlosophy, subject which is engaging
the attention of many thoughtful minds
and interest in which is widespread. One
VINO reads this volume will have a pretty
Ialr idea OF theosophy as expounded by
Madame BlavatskY.' 1t goes into the sub
Ject thoroughly, and yet the points are so
plainly stated that there is no difficulty
IN understanding them.
Miss Mather's book is, says the Pal
metto Post, "a readable account of the
storm and an acknowledgment of bene-

went down in their pockets to aid the dis

work among the sufferers than the

A FRIVOLOUS AND SELFISH BIRD
Immoral Life and Eviction of It's
hosts and Fellow NestlinRs.

From the Western Daily Press, England.
At the present time the whole of the
woodlands of the temperate zone of Eu-
rope are permeated by the cuckoo He
reached Leigh Woods about May l. We
say he advisedly, as the the cuckoo did
not arrive until ten days afterward. This
is her custom, and the male cuckoo did
not make himself obvious by the familiar
"coocoo" until she did come.
A popular fallacy tells US that a cuckoo
lays eggs in another birds nest. She
does not. She lays eight eggs on the
ground. The eggs are in size, color, spots
and shape in accordance with the infor-
mationed 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 a titlark, a
wren, or linnet. Her male friends
about three or four to each lady-now
come forward, select each an egg, and
carry it in its mouth to the nest of the
prearranged fostermother Only one
cuckoo egg is placed in one nest. If he
finds cuckoo has preceded him on the
same errand, he seeks another cradle,
knowing in moment, amid all the eggs
present, the cuckoo pedigree.
The delulded mother matches the in
truder with her own brood. and the in
terloper, having the faculty of being
AdGCu6u SOOuCI budu Vic ObuGGS, Is, Vi
course, the first to come out of his she'll.
He manages to wriggle underneath his
brothers and sisters, and presents them
as a heave Offering to the expectant
rodents, mice, rats, stoats, and what not,
and within twelve hours of his existence
is the supreme occupier of the nest. He
keeps his black mouth wide open con-
tinually, 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 forever.
The cuckoo leaves the last week in
July. He is restless being, like the soul
of John Brown, always marching on. At
| ter leaving Europe he begins in the north
of Africa and ends at the Cape of Good
Hope, whence he returns to Europe in
the spring. Why does he go away, and
why come back? Food-the food he
loves-the hairy caterpillar. He will eat
other grubs, but these are his hourly
bread. 1t has been estimated IN round
numbers that out of every hundred cater
pillars that wriggle into life ninety-nine
are devoured by cuckoos. Everywhere
nature is careful to maintain her balance.
The cuckoo keeps down the millions of
! billions of hairy caterpillars, and pre-
serves our cornfields from being eaten up
! by hedge sparrows. The cuckoo is born
| conservative, and as long as he lives re-
turns annually to the neighboorhood of
| his birth

Tax Collecting in Fiji.
From the Buffalo Courier.

The news Just received from Vanus
Levu, one of the Fiji islands, shows that
the tax collectors life there is not happy
one. The assessors of Vanus Levu, hav-
ing duly made out the rolls for 1894, the
collectors announced that they would
receive payments of taxes up TO Ger tam
date. But day after day and all day
long the collectors sat under the palms,
and the tides rose and fell, and never a
Fiji man or woman approached TO pay
taxes. The fact was that the inhabitants
had a notion that the taxes were too
high. and they simply refused to pay
them They did not hold meetings and
clamor about outrage and then 60 home
to submit. No, they remained at home
and refused to submit But there IS

that the taxpayers would not come 10
the collectors, the collectors fastened on
police badges, frizzled their hair, polished
their knotted clubs, and went 10 the tax
payers. They were received-received in
a body by an Assem- Dlage Of earnest sub
iects who. like the collectors. had their
hair frizzled and their clubs polished
They also had sJreaks OF red, yellow and

were freshly filled. The argument did
