FEATHERED HOUsEBREAKER.
The American Cow Bird Out-Cuck-
COS the Cuckoo i'm Her Methods.
From Harper's Magazine.

Stealthily and silently she prizes among
the thickets, following the trial of the
warbler, sparrow or thrush like a sleuth
hound. Yonder tiny yellow bird with
iet-black cheek fits hither with a wisp of
dry grass in it's beak. and disappears in
the branches of a small tree close to my
studio door. Like the shadow of fate the
COW bird suddenly appears, and has
doubtless soon ferreted out her cradle.
In certain grass bank not far from
where | am writing, at the foot of an IN
suspecting fern, a song sparrow has built
her nest 1t lies in a hollow among the
dried leaves and grass, and is so artful-
w merged with its immediate surround
ings that even though you know its pre-
else location it eiudes you. Only yester-
day the last finishing touches we're made
upon the nest and this morning, as
might have anticipated from the excess
of lisp and twitter of the mother bird, I
find the first pretty brown spotted egg
Surely our COW bird has missed this
secret haunt in her rounds. BE not de-
ceived! Within half hour after this egg
was laid the sparrow and its mate, re-
turning from g. brief absence to view their
prize. discover two eggs where they had
been responsible for but one The prowl-
cret; for she, too. is IAN attendant on the

time" The parent birds once out of
sight, she had stolen quietly upon the
nest, and after a very brief interval had
as slyly retreated, leaving her questiona-
BILE compliments presumably with self
satisfied chuckle The intruded egg Is so
like it's fellow as to be hardly distinguish
able except in its slightly larger size. 1t
is doubtfuI whether the sparrow in par
ticular, owing to it's similarity, ever re-
allies the deception. Indeed, the event Is
possibly considered the cause of self-con-
graduation rather than otherwise-at
least until her eyes are opened by the
fateful denouement Of a few weeks later
And thus the American COW bird out
cuckoos the cuckoo as an attendant on
the spring." taking her pick among the
nurseries of featherdom, now victimizlng
the oriole by a brief sojourn In the swing
ing hammock in the elm, here stopping
a moment to leave her charge to the care
of the indigo bird, tomorrow creeping
through the grass TO the secret nest OF
the Maryland yellow throat, or Wilson's
thrush. or chewink. And, unaccountable
as 1t may appear, here we find the same
deadly token safely lodged In the dainty
cobweb nest of the vireo fragile pend
ant Fabric hung in the fork of slender
branch which in itself would barely APP
pear sufficiently strong to suspend the
weight of COW bird, without emptying
the nest.

wife who has shared my labors as well as
for myself, / desire to say that we have
been amply repaid for all that we have
done. In the love OF millions of our fellow
citizens, so kindly expressed, in knowledge
gained by personal contact with the peo-
pie, and in broadened sympathies we find
full compensation fDr whatever efforts we
have put forth Our hearts have been
touched by the devotion of friends and our
lives shall prove our appreciation of the
affection of the plain people, an affection
which we prize as the richest reward which
this campaign has brought In the face
of an enemy rejoicing in It's
victory, let the roll be called for the next
engagement, and urge all friends of b.
metallsm to renew their allegiance TO the
cause. If we are right, as / believe we
are, we shall yet triumph. Until convnc-
ed of his error, let each advocate OF b.
metallism continue the work. Let all sill
yer clubs retain their organization, hold
regular meetings and circulate literature.
Our opponents have succeeded in ibis
campaign, and must now put their theo-
ries to the test. Instead of talking mys-
teriously about Sound money" and IAN
honest dollar" they must now elaborat e
and defend a financial system. Every
step taken by them should be publicly
considered by the silver clubs. Our cause
has prospered most where the money
question has been longest discussed among

metallists, and be with us, or they will be-
come republicans and be open enemies;
before that year arrives, trusts will have
convinced still more people that a trust

the evil effects of a gold standard win be
even more evident than they are now,

RODE INSIDE THE CowcATcHER.
Novel Journey of n Tramp I'm the
state of Washington.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The man who rode in a cowcatcher bids
fair TO become hero among the knights
of the road, as we'll as a marvel to rail-
road men. His rame Is William Erickson,
and his years are DO years IS replete
with adventures as a chapter out of a
dime novel. Beating his way over hun
dreds of miles of territory has become
second nature to him, and a trip on a
breakbeam is a positive luxury.
But wherein William Erickson has
transcribed all the feats of the migrating
hobos is that he was the first and only in
dividual OF his kind to conceive and exc
cute the audacious project Of caging him
self within a cowcatcher, and beating a
ride In that perilous and essentially melo-
dramatic situation. 1t was thus that he
Travelled from Winnemucca to Wads-
worth. He had to be careful in selecting
his locomotive to find one that had no
forward steam exhaust.
He has some knowledge of locomotives,
and 50 was able to pick out one with only
side exhausts Inside of the cowcatcher
there Is only a small space. and he found II
necessary to sit upon timbers which are
used for braces for the frame of the cow
catcher. Then he was in half-recum-
bent position, his hands clutched around
the cowcatcher bars while the train was
running fast. Being ahead Of the drivers
and the machinery, he was jolted terri
fically by what Is technically known as
the fall" Of the locomotive.

PEACH TREES NEW PEST.
Dyes the Leaves With "a Reddish
Tinge and ShriVeIs Them Up.
ur~o,,, +1,o DaIt;,,,oro
From the Baltimore American.

IOlu the IOdll-iiiOlt AIiiGllNdhs
Prof. W. G. Johnson, state entomolo-
gist, located at the Maryland Agricultural
college, is endeavoring to discover exactly
what new disease is that appears to be
now affecting peach trees, concerning
which nurserymen and peach growers are
much concerned, the disease being differ
ent from that known as the "yellows," or
"rosette."
Trees affected with this disease have
a characteristic reddish tinge. due to the
celebration of the under side of the leaves,
which have a tendency to roll upwards
and lnwards, thus exposing the under sur
face. The reddish tinge appears first on
the outer edge, gradually spreading over
the entire under surface on badly infested
stock giving the trees a decidedly reddish
appearance. The disease has not been
found, as yet, as affecting any stock ex-
cept the peach.
Respecting the nature of this disease,
Professor johnson says that he has been
unable to associate any fungus or bac-
terial affection with it that could be iden-
titled as the cause, and it appears to be
due to certain soil conditions, the stunted
growth being partly referable to an i'm
perfect assimilation of plant food. In
two instances, Professor johnson says,
the diseased stock is on rather low ground
somewhat given to Frenching--a term ia
miliar to agriculturtsts-and in other places
stock in the same unhealthy condition on
high ground, appearing here and there in
irregular patches.
Regarding the treatment of such diseas-
ed stock, and awaiting the results of ex-
periments now going on, the only remedy
is said to be the total destruction of all
such diseased stock by uprooting and
burning, in which way $500 trees in one
block Of trees which budded last season,
and found to be affected, were treated The
experiments, 1t should be said. are direct
ed to budding, vitality and longevity -
the diseased trees. and in another dlres-
ton in the line of seedlings, to see wheth-
er or not seedlings in the diseased con-
diton cannot be helped by treating the
soil with lime to neutralize the acid, and
stable manure or some commercial ferti-
lizer 70 supply heterogeneous material
Mr.. William T. Corse of William Corse
Son, the well-known nurserymen, in
speaking yesterday Of the new disease re-
ferred to above, and not yet fully deter
mined says he has found 1t to form upon
the one-year-old grwoth. and that the
treatment should be to spray with Paris
green in March, I'm order to kill the worms
before they hatch, as after Matching
worms work into the wood and eat the
sap The trees should also be again
sprayed In May, about blossomng time,
as the trees cannot be sprayed after the
fruit gets any size. The spray Is made
OF III pounds Of Paris green to forty gal
