An Embarrassing Gift.

Lord Leighton's house is to be pre-
sented to the nation, which in turn is
to maintain it in it's present condition
as an artistic monument of its late own
er. 1t is ungracious to discuss such mat
tiers too closely, and every one will rec
ognize the good intentions of the ladies
who make the generous gift, but some
day it will be necessary seriously to dis
cuss this business, now so much i'll fash
ion, of keeping up the houses that are
associated with the memory of our great
men. One day it is Carlyle, another it
is Turner, and so on.
There is little "boom,' few of

walking stick, and the dining room ia
BILE, and then they go away and straight
way forget all about it. For year or so
stray Americans and provincials keep up
show of interest, and then the thing
becomes a mere white elephant, of in

Pennsylvania Surnames.

The United States offers peculiar in
terest in this field, owing to the
changes undergone by foreign names in
their new environment. OF course New
England names, being merely the trans
planting of English originals, offer on
ly the interest of ordinary orthograph-
ical and orthoepical variations, but
even here there are many phenomena
which would we'll repay investigation.
The richest field, however, of this sort
is offered by Dutch and German sur
names, the former being found mainly
in New York and the latter in Penn
sylvania. 1t is with the latter that this
paper has to do.
During the eighteenth century be-
tween $4,000 and 1000 Germans and
Swiss settled in the southern counties
of Pennsy lvania. Their descendants to-
day number hundreds of thousands.
What has been the fate of their names?
We may assume, on a priori grounds,
that scarcely l in 100 has remained un-
changed. When, how, ON what princi-
pie, were these changes made? These
questions s:.gest exceedingly interest
ing problems to the investigator.
At the beginning of the last century
the law itself of Pennsylvania inter.
fered, and all Germans who received a
grant of public lands were required to
anglicize their names. But of course
the most potent influence at work was
the natural objection to the inconven-
fence arising from having names which
others could with difficulty spell or pro-
sounce.-Lippincott's Magazine.

THE DEACON'S DONATION.
And Why 1t Was Not Accepted by the
Town Committee.


Town Committee.
1t had been decided at public meet
ing of the citizens they that would have
combination library, reading room and
social club in Hampton. The commit
tee, made up of substantial members of
the community authorized to act upon
their own judgment, was in session at
Deacon Closes, he having site that he
wanted to sell for the proposed building.
81 regard this movement as deserving
of popular approval and aid" said the
minister. ''It aims to secure a wider
intelligence and a better tone of morali
ty among our people Every one should
give according to his means"
After the editor, the doctor and the
banker had talked in the same vein, the
lawyer proposed that they get down to
business. deacon Close" he contin-
ued, "has desirable lot for which he
asks So, 900. 1t strikes me as a pretty
stiff price, but 1 have no doubt that he
will make us donation of $500 and
make a deed of the site for 81, 800"
There was applause, in which the
deacon did not participate, but rising
reluctantly he delivered himself as fol-
lows: must say that l agree with
what has been said in praise of this en-
terprise. Our town needs it and there
is no place for it more desirable than
the lot l have offered. Of course | want
to bear my full share of the expense.
"Since 1 offered you this lot" the
deacon vert on, "there has been great
improvement in times Money is easier,
prices are better and realty gets an en-
HANGED value because of the general
prosperity. l will let you have the lot
for $4,000 and throw off $500 as do
nation"
The minister muttered something he
was glad the rest did not hear. The
doctor laughed, the banker scowled and
the lawyer moved to adjourn in a voice
that told the deacon he would have to
seek some other market for the lot that
had taken such a long and sudden jump

THEY DO NOT SIT.
Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.


Queer Devices.
1t is well known that the Australian
megapod is bird that is accustomed to
sit Oh its eggs. In certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs. They have sometimes consid-
cradle dimensions. A nest that is IA
feet high and So feet in circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month of March to
make his forcing beds-namely, leaves
and decomposing vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give off
an appreciable amount of heat. In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout-
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suftices
for the development and Matching of the
young birds, and the mother can go
where she likes and occupy herself as
she wishes without being troubled by
the duties of sitting.
In the small island of Ninafou, in
the Pacific, another bird has a some
what similar habit, in SO far as it also
abandons its eggs, but in place of OBJ
tanning the necessary heat from fer
mentation it gets it from warm sand.
The leipoa, Or native pheasant of Aus
tralia, acts like the megapod and watch
es the temperature Of its mound very
closely, covering and uncovering the
eggs several times a day to cool them
or heat them as becomes necessary. Aft
er Matching, the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. 1t leaves on
the second day, but returns for the
night, and not until the third day is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.
