The unarateful Cuckoo.

To hear the cuckoo's CHEEKY note you
might think he had the clearest con-
science in the world He can have mel
ther memory nor moral sense or he
would not carry it off so gayly. The
most disreputable of birds, as rule.
are guilty of nothing worse than pee
cadillos. The jackdaw will steal for
the mere fun of the thing. for he can
make no possible use of plate or jew
elry. Sparrows are. of course, notori-
Gus thieves. but they rank no higher
in crime than the sneaking pickpock-
cts. But the cuckoo. so to speak, is a
murderer from his cradle. He violates
the sanctity of <hospitable hearth.
His first victims are his own foster
brothers. and before he tries his wings
on the first fight he is imbrued in
fraternal blood like any Amurath or

surface Of the earth? mo man made
the land" said Mill TT is the origi-
nal inheritance Of the whole species"
No matter how far we delve into the
past, we can find no just title to the
private ownership. Of land. Blackstone
admits that there is no foundation in
nature or in natural law why a set
OF words upon parchment>should con-
vey the dominion of land" Whilst

The Chain Of Lakes.

North Missouri's famous hunting
grouAd. known as the Chain Of Lakes.
having resisted all attempts to drain
and cultivate, has been allowed to re-
turn to its natural state. The Chain
Of Lakes is wilderness surrounded by
rich farming land, towns and good
country roads. This section was the
original happy hunting ground for the
Indians of the west On the banks of
the Charlton river. at the edge of the
lake territory. they pitched their wig
vans. built stone fort or dam and
put up an ingenious fish trap, for there
were no game wardens in those days.
That trap, repaired and strengthened
from time to time, was inherited by
white men who followed the Indians
and operated half century. Then the
game wardens. attracted by the an
cient fish traps fame, went over to the
river and blew it up with dynamite

a Little Paint Badly Applied.

The play 'L'Homme de Destin" was
taken from the stage when its triumph
was at the zenith. One evening Napo-
leon. accompanied by his friend Duroc,
went in disguise to the Porte st. Mar
tin theater. where the piece was being
performed. Eugene Chevalier appear
ing as the man of destiny. They
bought box. but had hardly entered
it when the emperor broke forth In
violent execrations against the fool
managers. It seemed that the decora-
tors had left in the box pots Of oil and
paint, and into these the emperor had
stepped. Wild with rage. he rushed
from the house and to make matters
worse was recognized in the lobby. No
paper mentioned the incident, but by
order of the emperor the play was
never produced again. and Chevalier
never appeared again as the man of
destiny land all on account OF little
paint badly applied.

Swinburne's admiration for the seem
cry inspired the walk which every
morning. wet or fine. he took across
Putney common. 1t led also to visitors
to see the poet walk.
One modest admirer. says the Lon

glimpse of Swinburne in the flesh and,
having read of the poets habits. visit

morning in passing. There sat the lit

CAN0PIES ON THEIR HEADS.
People Of Korea Wear the Largest
Hats In the World.


Hats In the World.
What would you think Of a hat that
was so large it would safely shelter
your father. mother, sisters and your
self under it should sudden rain
storm come up! The men Of Korea
like these enormous hats and would
not feel properly dressed without them.
These hats look like great flower pots
set on a round table six feet across.
The crowns are nine feet in height and
three inches wide. much like a Chin
ney on one story house. How do
you suppose these large, round head
coverings are kept on? Under the
brim is a small, closely fitting cap. held
on by padded string which ties under
the ears. The material of these hats is
bamboo. SO finely split that it is like
thread. and lastly they are vanished
to keep out the sun and rain and the
wind.
You know that the Korean people al
ways wear cotton clothing. so these
big hats protect them far more than
our hats possibly could. In the rainy
season cones of oiled paper are at
tached to the big bamboo head cover
ings in the shape of tunnels, so. sup
pose. that the rain pours of Of them
just as water does off ducks back.
A Korean keeps his hat on when we
should take it off. Soldiers wear black
or brown felt hats decorated with red
horse hair or peacock feathers, and
hanging from the sides. over the ears
and around their necks are oval balls
of porcelain. amber and a queer kind

European Monkeys.

One of the rarest Of living creatures
is undoubtedly a European monkey.
The only place on the continent where
these animals may be found is on the
rock of Gibraltar. They are of the
type known as Barbary apes and are
about the size of terrier dog. A most
noticeable feature is that they do not
possess tails. Only about twenty Of
the apes exist. and only by unceasing
protection and artificial feeding is the
species preserved. Many theories are
advanced as to how these apes first
came to Gibraltar. popular idea is
that subterranean passage exists be-
tween the rock and the adjacent coast
of Africa. and that the monkeys pass
to and fro. but the more matter of fact
theory that they were originally im-
ported by some local inhabitant Is prob
ably correct = London Answers.

! WONDERFUL WOOD.
There Is Practically No Limit to the
Life Of Greepheart.

Life Of Greepheart.
A most wonderful wood is that of
the tropical tree called greenheart.
The tree belongs to the laurel family
and is exported mainly from the is
land of Trinidad and British Guiana.
The wood is so nearly indestructible
that no limit to its life is known. 1t il
Dsed chiefly in ship and dock building.
The wood is proof against the white
ant on land and the teredo in salt wa
ter. A United States government re-
port says:
Greenheart has been known to stand
in wharves for over thirty years, and
logs that have remained under water
for hundred years are in perfectly
sound condition.
Greenheart's extraordinary resist
ance to decay is probably owing to the
presence of an alkaloid known as BIZ
brine and also to certain resinous sub
stances known as tyloses. The latter
are reddish brown masses of living
cells that grow in solid masses within
little cavities that they often fill COM
pletely. AS they grow with the tree
they turn black and make the wood Of
the older trees black.
AS In all tropical trees. whose growth
is continuous through the year. there
are no annual growth rings. The trees
probably do not reach maturity under
250 years. A greenheart tree is from
sixty to a hundred feet in height 1t
is an evergreen without knots and has
a broad, open crown. The wood weighs
about seventy five pounds to the cubic
foot and resists crushing force Of
10000 pounds to the square inch

LEAPING FOR THE FIRE NET.
Safe Jumps Of Eight or Nine Stories
Have Been Made.


Have Been Made.
At a recent Fifty-sixth street tene-
fnent fire in New York that resulted in
more of a smoke alarm than a blaze a
man and his wife were seen to get out
on the ledge of fifth story window.
The flremen told them to wait a mo-
ment. that there might be no need to
jump The man cried that they were
suffocating and must jump.
The firemen stretched the net and
shouted for them to poise themselves
properly and jump one at time. But
even while the firenien were shouting
the instructions the couple kissed each
other, locked arms and leaped. They
came down straight and sure as a
plummet right into the net. They re-
bounded about fifteen feet and fell In
the net again in sitting posture, still
embraced
The firemen let them gently down to
the sidewalk. They still sat there look
ing at each other incredulously. Then
they were told there was not even a
good fire to justify their jump. 1t had
all been smoke from a smouldering lot
Of rags and other rubbish. The man
and wife heard the news with express
sions Of wonder, thankfulness and con-
demnation of their Stiffness.
Jumps Of eight and nine stories with
out injuries have been recorded. The
makeup Of the jumper is what counts.
The firemen have to be prepared for
all kinds. Sometimes they have to
shift few inches quickly because Of
the bad judgment Of distance shown by
the jumper. But in most cases the leap
to the net saves life.-New York Sun.

WARD LOSES SUIT.
Case Was Echo of ReeIfoot Lake
Ownership Controversy.

Union City.-An echo of the past
controversy growing out of the own
ership of the Reelfoot Lake was dis
posed of in chancery court at this
place by Chancellor Mckinney.
The suit was originated by G. p.
Ward Of Walnut Log, famous hunt
ing and fishing point on the lake, the
scene of the murder of Capt. Quintin
Rankin on Oct. 10, 1908, by the night
riders.
c. P. Ward was a sublessee of the
fishing andhunting privileges for profit
on the lake from ]. G. Harris, in his
lifetime and later from the West Ten
nessee Land company. Mr.. Ward
leased the northern part Of the lake
from Mr.. Burdick from 1908 to 1913,
paying him as such sublessee in roy
alties about $1,000. He sued to re-
cover this from Mr.. Burdick and the
land company. The defendants were
represented by Waddell & Waddell
and the compliments by Pierce & Fry.
The suit was dismissed by Chancellor
Mckinney. He held that Mr.. Ward
had no cause of action.
