his annual report to that body regarding
farm sales, new industries and summer

agg egated 54S, in addition to which he

The Melancholy Cuckoo.

The American cuckoo belongs to the
woodpeclSer tribe and IS only summer
visitor coming about the 1st of June and
leaving early In the fall for Florida I'm
like the English cuclSos, ours builds it's
own nest and raises It's young, to whom il
isamost devoted parent. We have two spe-
cies in this country, the yellow bill and
the black bill, the latter being best known
in Pennsylvania.
Both are smaller than the old world spe
cies and differ from it In color, being
greenish olive above and blush white be-
meath, while the European bird is black
winged. The American cuckoo has tail
longer than its body. which gives It q
hawlSlike appearance, and the plumage ~
soft and silky, like that Of the owl, which
enables it to fly without making any
noise, so that we often hear its call with
out being able to see the bird.
Burroughs says "This call Of the cuckoo
has solitary hermitlike sound, as if the
bird was alone in the world and called on
the fates to witness his desolation. He
has never heard the call answered, nor has
he ever seen two birds together. The call
Is heard most in cloudy weather and before
a rain, from which the bird gets the name
of rain crow.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Tried A WAFER METER.
A Citizen Who wanted to Pay For just
What He Used.

A prominent citizen Of Lansing recent
ly becgfne dissatisfied with his water rate
and decided to have a meter placed on his
premises, $50 that he could pay for just
what water he used. - The meter was
placed, and the citizen watched its work
with interest, He was somewhat disturb
ed, however, at the regularity with which
it registered 400 TO 300 gallons per day,
and he soon began to almost sweat blood
Every evening he looked into the placid
face Of that meter with feeling Of sorrow,
which grew into anger.
One evening it informed the citizen it
required 720 gallons of H2O to satisfy the
yearnings of himself aSnd ffmily for mois-
ture during that day. He did not curse, nor
did he saw the air with rage, but calmly
determined to counsel with the superin-
tendent OF the waterworks on the morrow.
In the morning the sun rose, and 80 did
the prominent citizen. His first action was
to inspect again that water meteR. Then
he ate his breakfast in thoughtful silence.
Then he went down for farewell glance
at his meter and made the discovery that
it had required 81 gallons Of water to pre-
pare his morning repast, While he was
rubbing his eyes in wonderment the meter
registered 30 gallons more.
Then the citizen was mad. He was real
mad. This time he called down the wrath
of several heathen gods upon the water
commissioner. He explosively inquired of
his kitchen hdy II she was aware that she
had got away with S7gallons Of water
in connecting few poached eggs, a pot of
coffee and some measly toast. The kitchen
lady was also surprised, and when the en-
ragged citizen inquired what in - *f* / I
had become of that other 20 gallons of wa
ter she rendered her resignation on the
spot and denied having takehit. She ad-
mitted filling a half gallon jug for =
neighbQr and allowing the water to run a
little Just to cool it on "
Then he wished to make sure that his
meter was working a bunko game on him.
He carefully noted the reading Of the me
ter filled two quart pail 80 times and
agQin looked at the meter IL had register
ed Just 10 gallons. IL was correct Then
the citizen retired to the cellar and figured
some more. His meter was correct, and he
had put himself in a position where he
must now pay for every gallon of water he
used, whereas before he paid a certain
amount per year for water, whether he
used gallon or 10, 900.
All the bitterness against the water
board faded slowly from. his heart, and a
sad, sweet consciousness of his being some
thing akin to certain beast Of burden
stole over him. He sprinkleth his lawn no
mora neither doth he squirt water on the
highway. He buyeth ice now to cool the
water instead of letting It run few min
utes from the pipe, and in the anguish Of
his soul he adviseth his enemy to put in a
water meter.-Lansing Republican.

beforehand just how expensive such a
luxury may eventually become. Merely
as an incident 1t is stated that the late
Bourgeois ministry Ia France just before
Its fall had about made up It's mind that
the French artillery needed new outfit
Of quick-hring guns, and the money
needed for this purpose WAS estimated at
470, 900. 900 francs, or $94, 900 600. This
news c5mes by way Of Berlin, where It
Is made the basis Of q demand that
he German army shall also be
equipped with quick-6ring guAs OF equal
capacity. Both the French and the Ger
man armies we're supposed to be per
fectly equipped wit every requirement
Of military efficiency. Bat this little
incident shows that the expenses Of mil
itsry establishment are subject to un-
foreseen contingencies. The whole cost
Of an army or navy Is not reached In the
budget. The organization is only the
beginning of the expenditures 1t is
true that In this country, thanks to lib
ersl pension appropriations, 1t costs as
much to pay our war expenses In a time
Of peace As 1t c,sts any Of the great
Powers OF Europe to make the Oonti
rent an armed camp. Bat this should
be an additional reason for keeping out
Of a competition which offers so many
facilities for increased expenditures.
