CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with a very monotonous note ::
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoon
over and over again. Among naturalists.
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
taxes advantage of one already. built by
Some more Industrious bird.
There is 4 good deal OF the cuckoo

making success of their own, seek to

labor. II is 50 with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered although those
who make the offer are without Qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised Ill some cases of woman,
woman, woman write 10 woman" makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There IS as far rs known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment. and
none therefore competent TO give nedi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
oi~, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advics backed by such knowl-
edge and experience rs is possessed by

Ccnsu~ investigation Of Irrigation.
y special effort will be mnde by the
Division Of Agriculture of the twelfth
census Of the United Statcs to col

tion relating To irrigation i'll the arid

has been prepared and will soon be
sent out To obtain the names corpor-
atiOns and individuals owning canals
or bitches. This is one Of the essen
tIaI steps for securing desired infor-
nation regarding the extent aud value
OF the canals and bitches used for ir.
rigatIou and their sources Of water

In tn" preliminary schedule re-

WHY GEN. OTIS REFUSED.
American Commander Is Acting with the
Greatest Propriety in Dealing with the
Commissioners of AgulnaIdo.

Washington, Feb. rs, The officials
at the war department were asked
why Gen, Otis had refused to recop-
nlac the commissioners who had come
to Manila from the insurgent head
quarters at Malalos when they came
to seek peace. The reply was that
Gen. Otis was acting with the greatest
propriety in this matter He was careful
not to commit his government to anv
recognition of Aguinaldo that would
make precedent, and then there was
always the best reason for withhold.
ing confidence in every act of the in.

trust would mperil American

insurgents will have no difficulty in
securing amnesty, it is said, If they
lay down their arms and submit un.
condllionaIly, for there is no purpose
on the part of the American command
ers TO wreali vengeance upon sub
msslye foe. In addition to the
military reasons why Gen, Otis
should be very cautious into entering
into any entangling negotiations
with the insurgents, there is the ever.
present danger that he might, by fail

QUAY'S TRIAL DELAYED.


Philadelphia, Feb. IS. Political cir.
cles were shaken to the center by the
unexpected postponement OF the Quay
trial, and there is speculation in every
quarter as to the causes which brought
II about There is little doubt that
both sides were ready to go on. All
the parties were on hand and every
thing was apparently in readiness
when District Attorney Rothermel
arose and asked Judge BETTER to post
pone the trial "because the common
wealth was not ready" Counsel for
Senator Quay and his son put in Wig
orous protest against further delay,
but the court granted the request and
liked April 10 for the trial. When
questioned afterward the district at
torney declined to give any reason for
the postponement, but added signif-
cantly that the postponement was
duty to the common wealth. Senator
Quay's counsel had this to say:
The fact Of the matter Is that there il moth
ing Whatever In the case Our experts have
examined the books and documents They are
mulllaled, false and fraud upon their face
we are prepared to prove concluslyey that the
entries duplicating Senator Quay and his son
were made six months after the alleged con-
Nplracy had been consummated and the fruits.
