The Cuckoo.
lTrnnslated from Az ca

TRANSLATED from the Gaelic.)
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
o Cuckoo. dear, thy voice ! hear.
The sound d!spcls my sorrow;
1t seems to say. Drive grief away,
And hail the bright tomorrow"
At early morn, thy notes | hear,
with required ear, | listen
At even far. ! bark thy call
And mark the oewdrops glisten.
o tell me whittier didst thou fly
When wintry blasts were blowing?
Say. didst thou sleep. in s'unber deep,
Nor thirst, nor hunger knowing?
] envy thee, my bonni bird,
Though knowest naught Of sadness,
~ hovrer is nvr~ decked i'm green,
Thy heart overfiows with gladness.
Thou will return. though autumn winds
Bid us in sorrow sever.
But 7. when once l leave the glen,
Must leave the glen forever.
40 could l fly, I'D fly with thee"
Our joyous journey ~winging:
To sing of May the livelong day.,
M keep the echoes ringing.
Cuckoo! Cuckool Cuckoo!

Americans Love to be Fooled.
AS a people we are very fond OF
fraud. We don't much care for law.
and we love to be fooled.
In no line of are we more
regularly fooled and defrauded than
In the retail fur trade. The ermine
which my lady buys for the collar Of
her opera coat cost her nome dollars
q skin. She may pay 81 for the black
tip Of the tail Of a single ermine skin.
The trapper who caught the weasel
from which came the ermine got, per-
haps, 10 cents for the skin; perhaps
i've; perhaps nothing.
A great many persons know that err
mine is weasel. How many know that
muskrat pulled and dyed is often sold
as seal; that nutria similarly treated
Is sold as seal or beaver; that rabbit
so treated Is sold as seal or electric
seal; that pulled and dyed otter Is
regularly sold as seal; that marmot
dyed Is sold as mink and sable; that
fitch dyed is sold as sable, and rabbi,
also sold az sable: that hare and
muskrat are sold as mink or sable.
and white rabbit as ermine or chin
chilla or fox; that goat is dyed and
sold as bear; that many kinds of lamb
are sold as Persian; that skunk Is
called Alaska sable; that American
sable is sold as Russian crown sable;
that monkey and lynx and dog and
fox and polecat and muskrat and cat.
End all sorts of different furs are sold
under all sorts of high-sounding
names; that white hairs are regularly
inserted in fox skins and sometimes
In sable skins?
There is a vigilance committee ap-
pointed by the London chamber OF
commerce whose duty is to spread in
formation against these trade frauds.
We presume we need nothing of that
sort In America, for here we don't
mind being fooled,-Field and Stream.

The night King Arthu. climbed the dismal
stair
At CameIot (forsaken by his queen
And by his knights, without a hope to
lean
His grief upon or comfort his despair),
About his feet within the arkness there
A Voice chung with low words and spbs
between
"Lo! Dagonet, thy fool weeps here I'M
seen,
who nevermore a smile shall make thee
wear!"
Alas for him who climbs the dismal steep
OF life alone-who must endure the pain
OF an o'eiioying heart whose trust was
vain;
To whom a Voice comes from the shaa-
ows deep
"Lo! / am Love, thy poor fool, and !
weep
Because | ne'er shall make thee smile
agair!"

ANTS THAT GROW MUSHROOMS
insects Make Excellent Gardeners Ir
South America.

south AmcriCas
Prof. j.. r.. Ainsworth Davis gives
latest proofs of the ants right to our
applause, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. He says. "In tropical America
the traveller in their native region oft
en- sees thousands of ants marching in
column of route, each holding In It's
powerful jaws a piece of green leaf
about the size Of a sixpence. These
they take to their nests. The material
Is used as an elaborate sort of mush-
room culture, requiring much more
skill and intelligence than that in
which human beings engage. The
mushroom grower sets spawn In the
beds he prepares, but the ant does no
need to do this. The desired spawn
soon makes Its appearance in the
chewed leaf. But In its natural state
1t is inedible and must undergo care
full treatment before It yields the
mushroom which the ant desires. The
necessary work Is done by a special
caste of gardener ants. These weed
out the obnoxious germs, ETC., and,
pruning of the tips OF the threads,
preventing them from growing into
the air and producing useless toad
stools. AS a result Of this the threads
swell into innumerable little rounded
white chickering's, each Of which Is
about one-fiftieth Of an inch across.
1t Is these which are the mushrooms
These curious bodies constitute the
sole food of the ant-or, at any rate
the chief food.

towers Ancient and Modern.

Modern steel-frame construction
makes it as easy to erect a tower 900
feet high as in medieval Italy 1t was
to rear one less than 300 feet, and
modern elevators would substitute for
a few bell-ringers at the top a village
of clif-dweEers In cubical Offices ar
ranged in horizontal slices along the
dizzy shaft. The necessity for so
many small windows ~effectually bars
such beauty al the italian architects
achieved In their more modest under
takings.

Extraordinary Couture,

Not long before the French revolu-
tion, certain members of the Russian
royal family were in Paris. Mrs.
Grant says that a party at Versailles
one of the great ladies wore a couture
devised by NJ. Leonard, chief OF the
great hairdressers of that time.
Round this lady's head was placed a
number of small fiat bottles, each
filled with water. in which were the
stems of natural flowers wreathed In
her hair. They used to declare that
the effect Of spring among the pow
dered locks were ~rayishing."

NOT READY FOR PEACE.
Mrs. srearIey Had a Parthian Shaft In

The usual after-dinner tiff had
taken place, and Brearley had cooled

a little more or less humble-pie did

THE GENTLE PHILOSOPHER.

The devil doesn't need an under
study.
There is no fool like an educated
one.
A friend in need is one who doesn't
offer advice.
If virtue is its own reward, it is all
to the good.
Our success Is often due to some
other fellows failure.
Silence may possibly be golden be-
cause 1t can be bought.
The people who keep their troubles
to themselves also keep their friends.
A man and his liver are pretty close
ly allied. One won't work unless the
other does.
The rock of adversely generally
has a little rye on the side.
Some women anticipate a marriage
license with every love letter.
Every cloud may have a silver lin
ing, but every opportunity is not gold
On.
When a man Is loaded you always
know It; but it's different with a gun.
The man who Is always on time
generally has to wait for the other fell
