8AsFRfvoLou8 AND 8ELFlsA BIRD.


InAo11 I16s And Eviction - Its Hoses and
/. Fellow Nesalinss.
a popular fa11acy tells rs that .
cuckoo lays eggs in 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 five or
six would closely resemble the hedge
sparrow's. The other two might be
those Of titlark, wren or linnet.
Her male friends--about three or four
to each lady-now come forward, Sc
lect each an egg and carry it in it's
mouth to the nest Of the prearranged
foster mother. 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 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.
He manages to wriggle underneath his
brothers and sisters and presents them
as heaye offering to the expectant ro-
dents, mice, rats, stoats and what not,
and within 10 hours Of his existence is
the supreme occupier Of the 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 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 num-
bers that out of every 100 hairy cater
pillars that wriggle into life 90 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 born
conservative, and as long as he lives re-
turns annually to the neighborhood of
his birth.-Western (England) Press.

MEN CHEW GUM TOO,

Feminine Observer Makes Discovery
That Vindicates Her Sex.
Is the chewing gum habit purely
feminine?
think not now, though the time is
not SO far gone when the practice was
limited to children and young misses.
1t is different now. base my calcula-
ton on a recent episode that occurred
on train leaving the Grand Central
station.
Hardly had the cars started than the
train boy made his appearance. To each
person, irrespective of age or sex, a
package Of gum was handed. The wom-
en- took the small packages with an air
that betokened thorough knowledge Of
the contents. The men handled the foil
wrapped sticks gingerly. It was evil
dent also that they had seen them before.
One old, bearded fellow, who doubt
less thought his age an apology for his
actions, soon had his jaws working,
and others followed his example. There
were 20 men in the car, fewer women,
but generous supply of children. The
women I expected would buy the sticks
and divide with the children, but as
surely the habit has outgrown feminine
ty, when is men out of a total of 80 in
dulge in public in chewing gum.
On inquiry the train boy told me
that the percentage of men buyers was
much larger in that purely masculine
retreat, the smoking car. It's the best
selling article we carry" he said, land
the men use more Of it than the wom-
en-. New York Herald.

himself with that nice particularly

THE ZOOIACAL LIGHT.

A Phenomenon In Nature Commonly
Known as 1.-THE Sun Drawing Water"
Sometimes in the evening, some little
time before and during twilight, and
sometimes-though rarer-before and
during sunrise, close observer may de-
tect peculiar, fanlike streams of darker
and lighter shading across the sky.
These streaks, of which the palmer ones
may number from four to six, together
form a triangle, with it's base on the
horizon and extending out at varying
attitudes.
This appearance still holds rank as an
unexplained phenomenon in nature It
occurs only occasionally. There may be
a fine illustration on given evening,
and while there may be week Of clear
sunsets succeeding not trace of the
streaks will be visible.
From this it would seem that par
ticular atmospheric condition must be
one of the factors in it's production.
The assumption would be supported by
numerous analogies not necessary to
enumerate. In the proper atmosphere,
then, let it be assumed that the streaks
are due to alternate lines of shade and
light.
Now, let something to some extent
obstruct the rays of the sun which has
set, either an impeachment in the distant
landscape or an unseen cloud, the COM
bination at the proper angle with the
observer s vision, and it is probable that
he may approach solution of the long
standing puzzle.
The fanlike appearanceis such for the
same reason that the lines in brick
wall leading away from the observer
seem to focalize to center, as do also
railway tracks seemingly come together
in the distance. These zodiacal lines
ARE undoubtedly parallels, as are lines of
cloud streaks that to our vision seem to
point to common starting point. It
is more than probable that this modest
and unobtrusive streaking of the clear
evening sky has been unsolved because
Of its very simplicity. It is probably
only modification Of what is common
II known as the sun drawing water.

the end. You see, it's this way: If we
had ticker on the wall and fellow had
promised to be home on the last car and
he happened to look up and see that he
had seven minutes to catch that car, why,
it's nearly an even thing that he'd quit us
and go home. That sort of business would
soon burst us up. If he doesn't know
what the time is, he misses his car Then
he doesn't give a rap what time he goes.
He generally waits for the cable to start
again. That's where our soft money
comes in. Men get reckless as the morn

To the Editor of the PRESS
In your su bstantially accurate account
of the poisoning in my family there is
one misnomer.
1t was the veteran physician DR.. Au-
gustus S. Thayer who not only sees all,
but apprehends, and knows what to do
next, to whom one, at least, of my
family is indebted for her life.
L. B. DENNETT.
1t may be interesting to add in this
connection that Mrs. bennett was wholly
unconscious from clock Sunday af-
ternoon until IL O'Clock at night. Miss
Abbie bennett was delirous for about
two hours. There was no suffering of
pain by any one. There was simply the
stupor induced by powerful narcotic
in Mrs. benefits case. In her daughters
the effect was to induce only semi-un-
consciousness.

O. the celebrated story of the same name
by Wilkie Collins. Skillful stage man
agement good acting. completeness of
detail in conjunction with a masterful
adaptation left naught to be desired in
this weeks play. Maud Edna Hall gave
another demonstration of her versatility
and power as an emotional actress By
her artistic Interpretation of mercy
Merrick" she completely won and carried
her audience from the beginning to the
end of this most interesting of plays.
Lizzie Hunt was seen TO good advantage
as Grace Roseberry,n and gave an adj
mirable performance. Lillian Andrews
as Lady Janet Roy" was also excellent.
James Horne as ".Julian Gray" gave a
nasterful and effective portrayal.
Horne's work showed careful and con-
scientious study. Fully sharing the
honors with Miss Hall, Emmett G. King
was good as Horace Holmescroft. /"
BARLEY McCallum added humorous
and effective character study as Sturgeon
Wetzel." The play is exceedingly well
staged. and merits continuance of the
crowded houses of yesterday for the bal
aIcs of the week.
