Tbs Wort! "s3Iizzaro."

"BliZzard' is an American word, says
the Chicago News. The date and cir
cumstances OF its origin are obscure.
Though it was first commonly used by
the American newspapers as good
word for q snow squall in the winter
of 1SS0-S1. it is said to have been
known to the west in that sense nearly
twenty years earlier From an Eng.
fish writer Of 1884 this sentence is
quoted: "A gentleman at dinner asked
me for toast, and, supposing he
meant to have some fun at my ex-
pense, l concluded to 60 ahead and
give him and his likes BLIZZARD" Here
blizzard might we'll mean a metaphor

the evidence of correspondent of an
American paper who recalled that in
the forties a blizzard was particular
kind of volley-a rafting one, fred in

sportsmen on the Atlantic coast who
shot at flights of migratory birds from
behind screens.

Leigh Hunt.

This famous Englishman has two dis

brilliant poet, essayist and critic but
much that we know Of Keats, Shelley,
Lamb, Byron. Moore Coleridge, Dick
ems and Carlyle has been derived from
the knowledge Of these celebrities
which Hunt gave to the world. Pos
sessing happy spirit and genuine
scholarship, Leigh Hunts writings
sparkle with wit and cleveraess, while
his TRANSACTIONS are among the choicest
of their kind. His pecuniary difficulties
undoubtedly prevented Hunt giving us
his best at times, but after he was
granted a pension amounting in all to
1920 per annum the Improved COM

him to make his mark On English lit

Cowbiros Unnatural Parents.

The cowbird is the only bird that we
have in this country which is unnatu-
raj in it's parental duties. 1t never
builds a nest for itself, but lays its
eggs in other birds nests, thus forcing
the rightful owners to assume parental
duties. It it sagacious enough to
choose the nests of birds smaller than
itself, so that its young, when it is
Matched, being inevitably the largest
of the brood, must necessarily receive
the lions share of the attention Of it's
ed resort to various means to rid
themselves of this unwelcome addition
to their litter. The most ingenious

A Savaae's Sense of DUTY.

Although the Australian aborigine
has his vendetta, it is not always re-
venge that he seeks. Darwin tells Of
q native servant Of a west Australian
magistrate " no went one day to his
master, saying that one of his wives
had died. He must go away therefore
to a distant tribe and spear a woman
to satisfy his sense Of duty to the
dead woman. IF you do, I'll send you
to prison for life" said his master.
For year the man hung about, look
ing wretched and i'll and complaining
that he could neither eat nor sleep, as
the spirit of his wife haunted him
because ne had not taken another life
for hers. At last he disappeared A
year later he returned in high condi-
ton. There was no legal evidence
against him, but it was known that
he had gone to a distant tribe, had
speared woman to death and so, as
he thought, appeased the spirit of his
departed wife.

a Fatal Advertisements.

Vestris, the great dancing master,
died at eighty-three, and it was said
he would have lived till hundred but
for a sudden and mortal blow in the
shape Of an advertisement. One day
he asked for newspaper, probably
for the first time in his life. Scarcely
had he opened the sheet when his eyes
lighted upon the following: Wanted,
a professor of dancing at Calcutta
Must be skillful chiropodist at the
same time.' He took to his bed and
never left it again alive.

Iona Leuued Birds,

Long legged birds have tails so short
that they seem to be out Of proportion
to their bodies. But there is reason
for the short tails. Birds, while flying,
and often while walking, use their
tails for steerage purposes. When
birds with long legs take to fight, they
throw their legs behind in a manner
that causes them to serve the same
purpose as a tail.

method is that frequently used by the
little fellow wabbler, who will often
build substructure on top of her orig
inal nest, thus burying the eggs of the
cowbird and often some Of her own
with 1t. Nests have frequently been
found with two of these substructures
in cases where the WARBLER has twice
been visited by the COW bird.
