HABITS OF COWBIRD.

It Associates with the Animals in Or.
der to Find Insects.
The cowbird is black and a little
smaller than the red-winged blackbird
There are three species, two of which
the common and red-eyed-migrate to
our Northern States and are found as
sociated together. The male of the
common cowbird has head and neck
Of deep wood brown, while the red
eyed is wholly black and very lus-
urous. The females are smaller! than
the males and duller in color, although
the red-eyed female is quite black.
The bird receives its name from its
association with cows, beside which
it feeds, sna tching up the insects that
are disturbed by their heavy tread.
About half dozen usually attend a
single animal or a bunch of cattle,
part of which may be Of one species
and part Of the other. Indeed, the
two associate together as peacefully
as though they We're of the same spe-
cies.
The most serious Indictment against
the cowbird is that it builds no nests
and does not rear it's own family. Its
eggs are laid in the nests of green
lets, warblers, fnches and other
blackbirds, most of which are smaller
than itself. OF the first five red-wings'
nests examined in 1902. four contained
the eggs Of the cowbird. The summer
warbler was one day found burying
the detestable egg in the bottom Of her
nest, together with one Of her own.
Two orchard orioles nests, not fifty
feet apart, each contained the egg of
the. parasite, probably of the same
breed.-Country Life In America

Given Often for Absurd Reasons, and
Generally They stick.
"Wonderful how nicknames stick to
person." said the observant man.
'There We're two nice little women in
our village who came to call on us
one evening, and we offered them pop
corn which the children had just
brought In from the kitchen. They re-
fused, but not so emphatically as to
keep us from giving them two heap
ing plates of the corn. We kept re-
filing the plates and they kept crunch
ing all the evening. There was some
thing so funny about it that called
them the popcorn ladies' and the
name has stuck to them 80 that the
whole village knows them by it.
ST once knew a man who talked
necessarily in a high-pitched voice and
a bright girl dubbed him the chirper.'
The name was quickly passed around
among the young people, and now the
greater part of his friends know him
by that name. A very dignifled young
woman of my acquaintance goes by
the name Of 'Whont' to this day be-
cause when she was a very little girl
she used to call herself Mrs. Whont'
when she played grown-up ladies. and
the family picked it up. She simply
can't shake the absurd name.
More than one red-haired man Is
known by the name Of pink and phil
osophically accepts the title. I have
an acquaintance who holds q respon-
sible position who is known by the
name of 'Dotty.' 1t seems that ono
day a mischieyous girl discovered that
he had three very prominent dimples.
She promptly dubbed him 'Dotty
Dimple,' and now he Ia known to all
his associates as 'Dotty.' Another man
of my acquaintance is always called
.Bluebeard because he has such a very
white and thin skin that If he does
not shave daily his beard shows blue
through 1t. That name, too, came
through a woman's quick wit.
"An old lady friend of mine is still
cglled 'Peachy' because when she was
a young girl she had complexion
like peaches and cream. Her brother
promptly dubbed her 'peachy,' and
.Peachy' she will remain to the end
Of her days. In certain household
a very feminine little woman Is still
called The Boy because when she
was young girl she went through a
very serious Illness which made it nee
essary to cut her hair short. Her
younger sister said she was The Boy
of the family, and the dainty lady is
still called by that absurd name.
"An effeminate man was once called
Viola by one Of the boys in the Office,
and now we know him by nothing else.

shut down suddenly and shut them off
from their ship. They rowed about for
hours trying to find her, as there were
no other craft in that region, and land
was thirty miles away. When night
came on they determined to make for
the coast before the polar current
swept them south. They were without
food and water and the ocean was
filed with icebergs.
The morning came at last with q
bright sun and breeze, and they set a

which, from their struggles, nearly
swamped her. After daybreak Glenn

noon reached the shore, landing in q

FIRST PLANTING OF sPoNGEs

Successful Experiments Made by the
Government on Florida Coast.
Not content with utilizing all the
available resources in the United
States for the purpose Of supplying the
needs Of the people of this country.
Uncle Sam has invaded the sea, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The gov
ernment has gone in for sponge
culture. The supply of sponges has
never equaled the demand, and
we have been importing most of
those required for the domestic
trade. According to the enthusi-
tic trade. According to the enthusi-
asts of the United States Fish Com
mission, the American invasion of Eu-
rope soon will add sponges to Its list
Of commodities.
Successful experiments have been
conducted, and the actual work of
planting sponges off the coast Of Flori-
da Is being done under the supervision
of Captain James A. Smith, of the
Fishhawk. The sponges used in the
propagation are Of the sheepshead va
riety, the most valuable in the world,
and which fill every commercial re-
quirement. DR.. 81. r. Moore, assistant
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries.
devised the method Of planting.
The sponges are cut into small
pieces from one to two inches In di-
ameter. These small fragments Of the
living sponge, which are dark in color,
the pores filed with flshy matter, are
firmly fastened to pieces Of coral, rock
or terra Gotta brick and dropped over
board. Thin aluminium wire is used
for fastening them to the objects. The
use Of the aluminium wire Is the soIu-
ton Of the difficulty which confronted
the expeimenters. The pieces of
sponge have one outer skin intact, with
the outer edges raw. The latter, how
ever, quickly heal. The aluminium
wire will, of course, pierce the sponge
and form small bore, or hole, through
them. The wire corrodes; but this is
an advantage, for it gradually wears
away. leaving the sponge free of any
foreign substance.
Most of the difficulties attending the

to the rocks which would last long
enough for the growth to attach itself
naturally to the new bed. The alumni
mum wire does this. Wood, string, cop
per and iron wire and various other
substances were attacked by the salt
water and animal life and rendered
useless.
Sponges are being planted at Bis
cayne bay, Anciote Keys and Key
West. An effort will be made to put
the new industry on its feet SO that
private capital will become interested
in carrying it on. There is every rea-
son to believe that the ventureN will
be successful and that in a short time
all the sponges needed in the United
States will be raised in Florida wa

A WEIRD RELIC
History of the sku11 Used by Edwin
Booth in esHa aIulef.1 -

History of the skull Used by Edwin
Booth in "Ham1et.o
On a bracket in Edwin Booths bed
room at The Players-the apartment
remains as he left it that solemn April
day ten years ago-stands sadly d.
lapidated skull which the elder Booth.
and afterward his son Edwin, used
to soliloquize over in the graveyard at
Elsinore In the fifth act Of "Ham-
let"
In the early forties, while playing
an engagement somewhere In the wild
West, Junius Brutus Booth did se-
ries Of kindnesses to particularly un-
deserving fellow, the name Of him I'M
known TO us. The man, ms II seemed,
was a combination OF gambler, horse
stealer and highwayman-in brief, q
miscellaneous desperado, and precisely
the melodramatic sort Of person likely
to touch the sympathies OF the half
mad player. In the course Of nature
or the law, presumably the law, the
adventurer boldly disappeared one day,
and in time ceased to exist even as a
reminiscence in the florid mind Of his
sometime benefactor.
AS the elder Booth was seated at
breakfast one morning in hotel in
Louisville, Kentucky. a negro boy en-
tered the room bearing small osier
basket neatly covered with a snowy
napkin. It had the general aspect OF
a basket of fruit or flowers sent by
some admirer, and as such it figured
for a moment in Mr.. Booths conjec-
ture. On lifting the cloth the actor
started from the chair with, genuine
expression on his features Of that ter
ror which he was used so marvellous
ly to simulate in Richard III" In the
midnight tent-scene, or as Macbeth
when tie ghost Of Banquo usurped
his seat at table.
In the pretty willow-woven basket
lay the head of Booths old pensioner,
which head the old pensioner had be-
queathed In due legal form to the ira
gedian, begging him henceforth to
adopt it as one of the necessary stage
properties in the fifth act Of Mr..
Shakespeare's tragedy of Hamlet" :"
''Take it away, you black imp!' thun-
dered the actor to the equally aghast
negro boy, whose curiosity had hap
PLY not prompted him to investigate
the dark nature OF his burden.
Shortly afterward, however, the
horses -stealer's residuary legatee, re-
covering from the first shock Of his
surprise, fell into the grim humor Of
the situation and proceeded to carry
out to the letter the testator's whim-
steal request Thus it was that the
skull came to secure an engagement
to play the role Of poor Yorick in J. B.
Booths company of strolling players,
and to continue awhile longer to glim-
mer behind the footlights in the hands
Of his famous son.-Century.

few landed estates are so vaunted, few
