Why the Cuekaa c.il-!s No Nest,

A Danish legend about the cuckoo is
very curious. 1t relates that when in
the early spring time its voice is first
heard In the woods every village girl
kisses her hand and asks the question,
Cuckoo, cuckoo. when shall l be mar
ried2" And every old person, borne
down with age and rheuma tism, asks,
Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall be re-
leased from this worlds caresY The
bird in reply continues to sing
Cuckoo" and as many times as he
sings they count one year to the full
fillment of their desires. 1t is said that
the poor bird has so many questions
put to her that before she realizes 1t
the building season has gone by and
she is forced to put her eggs into the
hedge sparrows nest.

Live Coal That Did Not Burn.

An uncanny story Of the notorious
spiritualist, Home, is told by Miss
E. Katharine Bates In THE Psychic
Realm" "A dear old friend of mine. "
she says. who knew Home well in old
days is one Of the few living wit
nesses Of his celebrated fire expert
ments, for she bravely allowed him to
put a large lump Of live coal on her
head. protected only by a soft tulle
cap. Her daughter sitting close to
her at the time, stretched out her hand
with a natural instinct of fear for her
mothers safety, and she was slightly
burned, but my friend suffered no in
convenience at all. although the live
coal had been picked out from the very
center of hot fire."
