Cuckoos Are Mendaci GUS.

From the New York Journal
One of the best-known birds of Eng
land, next to the famous robin red
breast, is the cuckoo. This bird is
bill is long and curved, and it's general
color is brown. There are many stories
and curious facts connected with this
bird. AS is well known, ii lays its eggs
in the nests of smaller birds, some
times taking an egg from the nest so
as not to alter the entire number. The
young birds are Matched in two or
three weeks, and the cuckoo, which is
generally born at the same time,
spends the first week or so of its ex-
istence trying to GUST the rest. To ac-
complish this end, nature has endowed
the young cuckoos with a curious hol-
low in the middle of the back between
the shoulder blades or wing bones.
This hollow the possessor uses as a sort
of bucket getting beneath its weaker
half brothers and sisters, lifting them
to the edge and casting them out They
are exceedingly restless until this hol-
low has disappeared, which is ususally
about the 10Th or 18th day. If any of
the smaller inmates of the nest sur
vive this point they are safe. Should
two cuckoos be born in the same nest,
as is sometimes the case, they will
fight till one or the other is dead, when
the body is disposed of as the others
have been.
The cuckoo is very fond of caterpil-
lars, especially the extremely hairy
ones, and until few days years ago
IL was supposed that the stomach was
lined with a growth of hair, but it has
since been proved that these are only
the hairs from the caterpillars which
1t eats, and which adhere to the walls
of the stomach. 1t is a curious fact
l.. - fvar
in song only while the mackerel are
in full roe. which is from the middle
of April to July. 1t then loses its notes
and departs, as though ashamed Of its
loss.
In ancient times many virtues were
attributed 10 this bird. One writer as
serts that If, when the bird was first
heard in song. the listener drew
small circle around his right foot and
then dug up the earth on which his
foot rested, no flea or bug could be
Matched where the dirt was scattered.
Another sage says that If the listener
procures the longest tail feather from
the songster without injuring him, he
will be proof against infectious dis
eases, provided he would burn the
feather and breathe the smoke from
IL, taking care to inhale 1t we'll.
There are many species of the cuckoo
family scattered over the globe. One

Guide. This bird is inordinately fond
of honey, but not being able to get at

cries attract men to the hive, waiting

is required. Therefore young man feel
ing that he has a vocation, must be
schooled for many years. This education
costs money and the young man cannot
earn IL whilst he studies, whilst not all
parents are willing and able to pay the
full education for the priesthood. Two
hundred dollars a year is hardly sufii-
cient for that education and the bishop
who has to give priests to the people
must consequently receive from the peo-
pie means to do so, as in a new country
like this. no philanthroplst has yet en-
dowed the church with an income for

NEW BAPTIST CHURCH
A Thriving Congregation Gathered
Recently in This City.
REV. j. H. SPENCER, PASTOR
A Large Attendance Filled the
Scandinavian Church Last Even
ing and Heard an Eloquent
Sermon-The Lost Sheep.

The latest church organization made
in this city is that of the First Baptist
congregation. now holding meetings
every Sunday in the Scandinavian
church. at the corner of Cedar and
Sixth streets.
Rev ]. II. Spencer. formerly of Butte,
conducted services in this city for some
time till. at length, the interest mani
tested warranted his resigning his
charge in Butte and coming to Ana
conda, which is now his permanent
home. With his family he now resides
at 400 Oak street. the corner of Fourth.
The church has a membership among
many of the prominent FAMILIES of this
city. who, though Baptists, had been
attending other churches until this was
organized.
The trustees are Messrs. Keppler,
Holmes, Claybough and Chrisman.
Miss Eldridge presides at the organ.
At the services held last evening all
the seating capacity of the house was
filled. The sermon. though brief, was
an eloquent practical discourse replete
with beautiful illustrations and practi-
cal anecdotes. The pastor is a decided
addition to the pulpit orators of this
city.
Rev. Spencer took as his text the par
able of the Lost Sheep, and the reJoic-
ing of the shepherd who left ninety and
nine to go forth and search for the one
that had strayed away.
Christ in His addresses often spoke
to the lowest orders and sought the
company of the publicans and sinners.
The Pharisees were wont to accuse
Jesus of preferring the company OF this
people, and by cowardly innuendos as
serted that birds of a feather flock to-
gether. Jesus did not reply to their
taunts unless compelled to do so by
their direct questioning, and then He
routed them time and again with beau
tiful parallels.
II Is one of these that is the subject
tonight. From IL we CLEAN that God
has lost something; lost the love OF
the creatures that He had made. Man,
the highest, the greatest OF His works.
has been silent in the chorus of admir-
alton and worship.
AS those shepherds knew their fiocks,
knowing every sheep, even by name, so
God has individualized His universe,
every plant, gem, every atom, can II be
that He has not individualized man.
kind?
The greatest loss In the Garden of
Eden was not the loss of Paradise, but
II was Gods loss OF mans love and ODE
dience. Since that time God has been
seeking the lost, all through the proph-
cts. through Christs ministry, the call
of the apostles on Cavalry even, God
has sought to find and to save. Daily
prividences that come to us all are His
calls; the disasters of the day are the
sounds of His voice calling and seek
ing to find.
Man is not found until he realizes his
lost condition and cries out to God for
salvation. Then the lost sheep is found
and there is Joy in heaven. May He
help us to hear Him and answer the
call

Bonapsrte at Lodi.

On May 10th, 1896, Bonaparte arrived
at Lodi, situated on the river AIDA,
where General Beaulieu had collected
his forces. The Austrians had crossed
by slight bridge, and had prepared to
defend themselves to the last man. I'm
less the French could make the passage
of the bridge, their victorious progress
would end here. Four thousand grena-
diers were formed into a solid column
and made a sudden charge; they had
proceeded but 600 feet-exactly half
the length of the bridge-when they be-
came exposed to such an incessant
shower of grape shot that their fore
most ranks were entirely swept away.
The troops who had previously advanc-
ed at quick pace. with bent heads and
extended bayonets, staggered and be-
gan to hesitate. At that critical mo-
ment, Generals Berthier Massena, Ger
voni and D'Allemagne stepped quickly
from the ranks, invited the grenadiers
to renew the attack, while Bonaparte
In person, Selling standard, placed
himself at their head. They rushed
forward amidst cries or, "Vive I Re-
publique!' and in a few moments the
fate of the day was decided. The Aus
trian line was broken and the French
were victorious. "Of all the actions in
which the soldiers under my command
have been engaged" said Bonaparte, in
his dispatch to the Directory, none has
equalled the tremendous passage of the
bridge of Lodi. If we have lost but a
few soldiers, it was merely owing to
the promptitude of our attack, and the
sudden effect produced on the enemy by
the formidable fire from our invincible
army. Were I to name all the officers
who distinguished themselves in this
affair, should be obliged to enumerate
every GARDINER of the advance guard,
and almost every officer belonging to
the staff. / must not, however, omit
the intrepid Berthier, who acted on this
eventful day as a bombardier, a cav

battle, Bonaparte demanded the names
