CAPTURING THE WILD DUCn
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Suc
cessful Among the Wary
Water Fowl.
_
A full-grown wild duck Is one of th*
most wary of all wild creatures. A wa
terman may be working all day long
with shovel and pickax, says the author
of “Bird Life and Lore,” barely a stone’s
throw from a large flock of widgeon and
wild ducks, and they will not notice him,
for they know that he means them no
harm. But let a sportsman enter the
meadows and hide hla gun ever so care
fully, and make himself ever so small.
It is ten to one that they will rise ta a
cloud when he is some four gunshota
away from them, and take themselves
off to a place of greater safety.
There is one metbo4 *f taking wild
ducks In considerable MJabers. prac
ticed in China and la MMather coun
tries, which is so amasiag and so little
known as to deserve motlea.
The natives take ear* 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 parcel
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 Most
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 thing
that struck her on landing was the fact
that the coolies who tumbled lazily
aboard her ship were “very much addiSl
ed to the use of hats, and very little ta
the use of any other clothing." She
continues: “I can best describe ths
hats by an exclamation of one of oui
party, ‘What beautiful waste papei
baskets they’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
treature. 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 luraed a
good-natured smile, just waiting to an
swer one from me. I never got used to
the incongruous effect 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—tbe 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 T 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. Highly edu
cated women don’t weaken themselves
with tight corsets, with overmuch danc
ing and card playing. They are athletio
and 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,” ah*
| cried. “Just look at them.”

HABITS OF SPEECH.
Fsaltj Lsagnas* Used In Child*
hood Is Hard to Correct In
After Life.
“Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un
grammatical speech that will have to be
conquered in after-life ?" asked a spin
ster of a mother.
“Because they hate to worry the poor
little things about such matters when
they are young and should be edre free.
It seems cruel to be all the time cor
recting them and keeping them on their
good behavior. They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language all
too soon as it is.”
“Yes,” said the spinster, “and in ad
dition to learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks of
speech in which they have been allowed
t# indulge all their little lives. I know,”
'aughing, "that there is much ridicule
of 'old maids’ children,’ but I believe
that my theory in this case is correct.
It is a positive unkindness to let your
child double his negatives and say
‘ain’t,’ when several years from now he
will be harshly reproved for such
lapses. The child must learn to talk,
anyway, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say ‘It is I,’ as ‘It’s me?’ And is
it not as simple for the little tongue tc
lisp ‘I saw it.’ as ‘I seen it?’ I love baby
talk, and should not correct a child for
his mispronunciation of hard words.
A* he grows older he wdH himself Me
his mistakes in that line and change
them. But I insist that it is a parent’s
duty to make the difficult path to gram
matical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning.”—Harper’s
Bazar.
Some Mexican Um.
A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the statutes make it twice as
much of an offense to mutilate the face
of a woman as that, of a man. While in
the City of Mexico he attended court
ene day and saw a man sentenced to
one year in prison for cutting his para
mour across the face with a knife, ft
his victim had been a man the sentence
would not have been more than four
months at the outside. 'ITie law seems
to be based on the idea that a woman’s
best possession is her beauty, and that
to mar it does her a great injury. There
is another curious law. If a person
should be wounded in a» encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed by
the number of days his victim has to
stay in the hospital or under a doctor’s
tare. A line is fixed at 40 days in the
way of a general division. If the in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
As we understand the Topeka man
these are not court customs, but statu
tory enactments.—Kansas City Jour
nal.

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 doubtfui 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 followshould
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
tVi^Tl-ipk pvppi <- ninfivp nmvpr
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It 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.
