CAPTURING THE WILD DUCA
Clever Scheme of the Chineee Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
A full-grown wild duck it o«c of the
most wary of all wild creatures. A m
terman may be working all day lo«S
with shovel and pickax, says the anthqs
of “Bird Life and Lore,” barely a stone's
throw from a large flock of widgeon aad
wild ducks, and they will not notice hi*,
for they know that he means them ag
harm. But let a sportsman enter the
meadows and hide his gun ever so care
fully, and make himself ever so small,
it is ten to one that they will rise is *
cloud when he is some four gunshots
away from them, and take themself*
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one method of taking wiM
ducks in considerable numbers, pra+
ticed in China and in some other comi
tries, which is so amusing and so little
known as to deserve notice.
The natives take care that a large
number of big calabashes, or gourds,
should always be left floating on the wa
ter frequented by the birds, till they
get to regard them as part and pared
of their resorts. The duck-hunter
chooses his time, and, putting one of the
calabashes, with holes cut for his
mouth and eyes, upon his head, he
wades through the lake, taking care to
keep the whole of his body well be
neath the surface. He cautiously ap
proaches the unsuspecting wild fowl,
and, catching one of them by the leg,
pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath
the water, causing hardly more commo
tion of the surface than the duck itself
often makes when it dives, or plashes,
er plunges for its food. He wrings its
neck under the water and fastens it to
his belt. Then he deals with another
and another in the same fashion, till he
makes his retreat, equally unnoticed,
with a whole girdleful of captured wild
ducks round his waist.
SOFT-EYED MEN OF PACIFIC
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Mast
Winning and Remark
able Optics.
A woman traveler who lately visited
the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de
scribes her first impressions in the
North China Herald. The first thipg
that struck her on landing was the fact
that the coolies who tumbled lazily
aboard her ship were “very much addict
ed to the use of hats, and very little to
the use of any other clothing.” She
continues: “I can best describe the
hats by an exclamation of one of out
party, ‘What beautiful waste paper
baskets thtey’d make! ’ These hats were
fastened on with loops of thick, brown,
hairy palm rope, through which were
passed cotton strings tied under the
chin. Every man’s face was ornament
ed with a thin, brownish black beard
and mustache, and it was often hard to
tell where the beard left off and the
hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt
hair also straggled about the neck, giv
ing to the man the look of some savage
creature. Taking in these details, my
eyes came at last to the eyes of these
seemingly wild savages, and lo! I
looked into large, soft, black eyes, so
wide apart, like those of the ruminating
animals. And in their depths lurked a
good-natured smile, just waiting to an
swer one from me. I never got used to
the incongruous feffect of those gentle
eyes and that fierce beard on each
other.”
COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows
Conclusive Evidence of
Fitness.
An instructor at Vassar’college has an
odd and interesting collection of photo
graphs—the photographs of the babies
of young women who are college gradu
ates, says an exchange, are strong and
beautiful. They number over 300. The
instructor said of them:
“I began to collect pictures of the
children of female A. B.’s and A. M.’s
because I had heard so much talk about
the higher education unfitting woman
for her natural sphere, and so on.
“My collection proves that the high
er education makes mothers of an ex
cellece hitherto unknown. Higlfly edu
cated women don’t weaken themselves
with tight corsets, with overmuch danc
ing and card playing. They are athletic
sfpd strong. Their bodies as well as
their minds are developed.
“They enter upon the duties of moth
erhood with a unique courage and wis
dom and strength, and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest,
handsomest little creatures—”
She pointed toward the 300 photo
graphs.
“But just look at those pictures," aha
cried. “Just look at them.”
Cento Books.
“This volume,” said the bibliophile,
“is a cento. It is composed of de
tached sentences taken from the woras
! of Thackery. It makes a novel, sen
sible, but short, and it was composed
in seven years by a bed-ridden baron
ess. The best known cento is probably
the Empress Eudozie's ‘Life of Christ,'
made entirely of lines from Homer.
There is a similar life composed by
Ross, that consists wholly of detached
| lines from Virgil. Centos are often
very valuable. One compiled by Alex
ander Hamilton from Milton’s ‘Para
iise Lost’ sold not long since for $500.
The book was a history of America.”
Placing the Blame.
“But,” the young housekeeper pro
ested, “the milk iasour.”
“Yes’m.” replied the honest milk
man; “it’s shameful how lazy them
farmers is gettln’. Ye see, ma’am,
they’ve been oversleepln’ theiraelves
lately and before they git their oows
milked the stuff turns.”—Philadelphia

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
| IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It Is Easily Curable In the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. Tt is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red oil the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores. $1.00 per bottle.
