The Cuckoo and Her Eggs.

In a recent number of the Zoologist
A. H. Meiklejohn raises the question as
to the manner in which the cuckoo car
ries her egg when about to deposit it in
the nest of the bird selected to act as
foster-mother. 1t is commonly supposed
that the egg is carried in the beak, and
in Prof. Newton's edition of ''Yarrell's"
several instances are quoted where OBJ
servers state they have actually seen the
modus operandi. Mr.. Meiklejohn, who
was fortunate enough to observe a
cuckoo in the act of depositing it's egg
in robins nest, is, however, of the opin-
ion that the throat Of the bird serves as
the receptacle for the egg. He states
that CD the cuckoo was constantly open
ing her mouth. during a preliminary en-
counter with the robins; (2) that the egg
was certainly not laid in the ordinary
way in the nest; 81 that the egg itself
was slightly moist ana sticky; "a that
the throat of the bird presented a slight
ly-distended appearance, which might
well have been due to the presence Of
the egg. 1t will be interesting to note
what his fellow ornithologists think of
the authors explanation of the mystery.

Chronic Coughs and Colds
Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual SCourge
of ChriStendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in every
hamlet. 1t flies with vampire wings
from country to country and casts a
black shadow of despair over all lands
Its steaithy approach and its lingering
stay makes it dread to the physician
and a pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh OF child

and the song of the biilshng maiden to
the hollow cough of consumption In
its whitening grasp the rounded form Of
the fond wife and mother becomes caunt

CHARMS OF AN OLD BOOK SHOP

the Hope of Discovery.
The old book shop in Cripple street ,-as
walled to its dusky ceiling with books.
Books were stacked on the floor, like
split wood, with alleys between. The
long table down the center was piled
with old magazines and the wrecks of
paper-covered novels. School arithme-
tics and dead theologies; ANIMALS in fad
ed gilt, called keepsake" or Friend
ships Offering" little leathern nubbins
Of books from the last century, that yet
seemed less antique than the ANNALS,
which counted no more than forty years
so southern and early passing was the
youth of the annual; Bohn's transla-
ttions, the useful and despised; gaudy,
glittering prints Of the poets and novel
lists; all were crowded together, with
out recognition of caste, in a common
Bohemia.
Finding book sought for in that mys-
teal chaos seemed to establish a right to
it of first discovery. The pretty girl
who sat in one of the dim windows and
kept the accounts looked Oriental, but
not Hebraic, and wore crimson ribbon
in her black hair and at her throat. She
read one of the ANNALS, or gazed through
the window at Cripple street. A show
case in the other window contained
stamp collections, Hindoo, Chinese and
Levantine coinage.-Scribner Maya

NEED A CHECKING SYSTEM.
British Railways Behind Contempor-
aries in Transporting Luggage.

aries in Transporting Luggage.
A well-flled train drew into Victoria
station and the passengers crowded the
huge pile of luggage, pulling and hauling
with the porters at trunks, bags and
bundles of rugs, says the London Daily
Mail.
A tall, middle-aged gentleman picked
up black leather steamer trunk, hold
ing it by one end. At the other end of
the box was lady, who said, Kindly
drop this box, it is mine.'
I beg your. pardon, madam" rettorted
They put down the box and examined
it, but it bore 10 distinguishing marks.
Just then third claimant picked it up
and proceeded to drag it away, and he n
turn was stopped by young man who
protested loudly that the trunk was his;
and he proceeded to prove it by turning
letters painted on the leather strap on
the side. Even then the third claimant
failed to show satisfaction. and the dis
pute nearly ended in f1sticuffs.
These scenes, which are not infre-
quent, created much CONSERVATION and
astOniShment among tie foreigners, who
constituted the majority of the passen-
gers. They were loud in their complaints
of the manner in which British railways
neglect their passengers luggage, never
forgetting, however, to charge for carry
ing it.
The advent of the 'Two-Penny Tube. -
with all it's modern improvements, will
probably have the effect of stimulating
the other railway companies to better
things. and the travelling public may some
day be most agreeably surprised to learn
that the simple system of luggage check
ing, which is used even in Hayti, has
been adopted in England.

An Ancient Visiting Card.

The oldest visiting card of which there
is any record is to be found in the state
archives of Venice. Giacome Contarini
professor of the University of Padua,
sent the card in question as a curiosity
to a Venetian friend, saying that the
German students who came to Italy had
the elegant and laudable custom of leav-
ing such little cards, with their names
and places of origin, at the houses of
friends when they called and found them

There lies a heavy sleeper
Upon lonely hill.

And the soft voices of the leaves
Make murmurOus reply.

The loving shadows mass
Round this sequestered slumbering place
Beneath the cool hill grass.

The Write drifts heap and heap
To form f1eecy cOverlet
Above the dreamer's sleep.

Clean in the viOlet'S tender eyes
