PEACHES AND BLUBBER.
A story of Arthur Stringcr and an
Oxford Professor.


Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate, as Rudynrd I<iplng
discovered when he somewhat thought
lessly dubbed the Dominion Our Lady
of the Shows" When Arthur Strnger
the young Canadian poet and author,
first went to oxford, he carried with
him letters from Professor Goodwin
Smith of Toronto to Professor York
Powell, the distinguished historian of
Christchurch.
The old oxford don. like one or two
other Engllshmen, had very vague
ideas about Canada and somewhat sur
prlsed the young stranger by inquiring
If he got along nicely on English roast
mutton after living so long on frozen
seal meat. The young poet gravely
protested that he perhaps missed his
whale blubber a little. but the next day
cabled home. and in less than n week
the finest basket of autumn peaches
ever grown in Ontario. carefully pack
ed in sawdust, was on It's way to OK
ford. A short time aftcrward the
young author was again dining with
the regius professor at oxford. and
that gentleman produced at the meal
fruit dish loaded with tremendous
peaches.
"Most extraordinary. said the old
professor, but these peaches were
sent to me today. and I'm blessed If |
know who sent them. From the south
of France, | suspect. so saved n few
of them FOR you, Stringer. They will
be such novelty, you know"
The Canadian very quietly took
steamship company's bill of lading
from his pocket and handed 1t to the
professor The professor ga2ed at the
bill, then Mt the fruit. then at the poet.
II had some whale blubber. too pro-
fessor," said that young man. but
simply had to eat that. These other
things were grown on my uncle's farm
in Kent county. Ont, you know. He
has 200 bushels of them every year.
and he sent me over basket of little
ones along with the whale blubber."-

LIGHTS FOR BIRDS NESTS.
Some Curious Habits Practiccd In

some Curious Habits Practiccd In
the World of SonRdom.
Many birds suspend their nests from
the branches of trees. one of the most
curious nests of that kind being that
of the baya bird of India. 1t is hung
from the branch. with it's opening at
the bottom, and hangs like an inverted
bottle. secure from the approach of
tree snakes and other reptiles. The
most curious thing about the haya
bird is that it is said to light up its
nest by sticking ireflies on its sides
with clay or soft mud. There seems to
be little doubt of the fact
DR.. Buchanan says: "At night each
of the habitations is lighted up by n

clay. The nest consists of two rooms
Sometimes there are three or four fire
flies. and their blaze in the little cells
dazzles the eyes of the bats. which of
ten destroy the young of these birds"
Perhaps other animals are scared off
by the baya birds electric light since
n writer in Nature records this curl
Gus observation: II have been informed
on safe authority that the Indian bot
tie bird protects his nest at night by
sticking several of these glow beetles
around the entrance by means of clay,

rats on roof rafter of his bungalow.
When a glow fly lodged very close to

name Oregon is Aragon in disguise,
that it was given to this country by

American explorers so interpreted the

theory Is at least plausible and lndi-
Gates strange freak OF fate. The
name Spain proudly brought to this
distant coast returned to the West In

power of Spain on the seas! Little

upon the earnings of actors and cor
rects the oft repeated reports of the
enormous earnings Of players. "Sala-
rlcs vary with circumstances, he says.
"The manager may find at $50 II week
a player whose moderate talent exact
ly fits part of considerable impor-
tance. He may have to pay $50 if the

scarce. If he wants celebrity In addl-
tion to ability, he may be willing to
make the salary $500 week. In that
case he takes into account the public
value of the name and makes n feature
of it in his advertisements
Not more than ten actors in Amer

much as $3.50 week. and not more
than five actresses are paid this
