A Duck Captured by an Oyster.

Captain John T. Ford brought to a
Maryland newspaper Office an oyster be-
tween the shells of which was firmly
fastened the bill of a fisherman or
pheasant duck. The duck while feed
ing had evidently inserted his bill into
the open mouth of an oyster which shut
down on it and held it fast. The duck
came to the surface, dragging with him
the oyster, which was so large and heavy
tho duck could not keep it's head above
water. In this condition they were
found by gentleman, who caught the
duck but could not get the oyster loose.
So he cut the ducks head off, and bill
and head will remain held by the oyster
until it is opened.

Maple Sugar Statistics.

A few figures about the maple sugar
business are suggested by the fact that
this season thirty-fve tons of the sugar
have been shipped to market from Brat
tleboro, vt. The best estimate puts the
yield of tree at twelve to twenty-four,
say eighteen, gallons a season, and of
sugar not over four pounds. That is,
eighteen quarts of sap make pound; !;
consequently there were boiled, about
Brattleboro, to make 10000 pounds of
sugar, 100000 quarts of sap, which
were the yield of 1880 trees. Suppos-
ing that, the country through, there are
100 places where as much sugar is made
as about Brattleboro, then total of 81, =
100000 gallons of sap is drawn every
spring. No doubt this is far less
than the actual amount, yet it would
weigh about 252, 900, 900 pounds or 1885,
600 tons, and would make far greater
liquid mass than some of the reservoirs
that have, in bursting, caused such dis
aster in the past few years. A pound Of
wood burned raises twenty-seven to
thirty-six pounds of water from thirty
two degrees to the boiling point. AS
suming that a pound of ordinary forest
gathering would boil the water out of
thirty-si pounds of sap, it appears that
it would take 100000 pounds $500
tons) of wood to make a seasons sugar;
and also that the frewood burned Just
about equals in weight the sugar pro
duced. Trees have to be tapped; fuel
has to be gathered, if not prepared; and
thirty pounds of water have to be
boiled away before the sugar is reached
moreover several weeks are spent at the
work. What wonder that foreign sub
stances sometimes creep into the pans. -

A Model DiplOmatiSt.

Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, who
has been instrumental in creating the
present Oriental crisis, is described by
friendly hand as q model diplomatist.
Polite and clever, he knows how to make
himself agreeable to all parties, in order
to secure for himself the greatest advan-
tage. At the very moment when, with
regard to Turkey, he represents himself
rs its well-meaning friend, who could
readily come to an understanding if his
stubborn subjects did not prevent him,
he also knows how to cleverly persuade
the European courts that he will follow
their counsels; and thus the circumstance
happens that many a great power I'M
agines that it directs petty Montenegro;
while without any question it is obliged
to give way to the principality and ac-
cede to its demands.

The Eastern War.

The New York Graphic expresses
itself as follows concerning the war be-
tween Russia and Turkey, and its ult-
mate result:
The Eastern war may be said to have
actually begun. The Russian embassy
have quit Constantinople, removing the
Russian arms from the doors of their
offices. The car has reviewed one
corps of bis army at Umerinka and Bir-
sala, and his address to the soldiers and
officers showed that in his view hostili-
ties have already virtually commenced.
A detachment of Russian soldiers is re-
ported to have reached Bucharest, which
is two hundred and fifty miles from the
mouth of the Pruth and nearly five hun
dred from Kischeneff. If this is the fact
Russia has shown as much energy in
preparing for hostilitieS as statecraft in
conducting negotiations; and while she
has amused Europe with diplomatic
overtures and toyed with the porte by
offering terms that could not be accept
ed, she has been putting her armies in
fighting trim and getting them into posi-
tions to strike the most powerful blows
the moment war is declared. Turkey is
in as good fighting condition as she can
be. Her troops have been kept under
arms in anticipation of hostilities since
the close of last summers successful
campaign, and the victories they won in
Servia and Bulgaria incite their martial
ardor. 1t is reported that 10000 Cir
cassians are all ready to be poured upon
ROumania in case that province deter
mines to remain neutral; which means
that the atrocities perpetrated last sum-
mer in Bulgaria are to be repeated on a
larger scale, unless Russia is able to pro-
tect her ally. The Turks will doubtless
fight with fanatical determination and
persistency. They have everything at
stake. 1t is a life and death struggle
with them. 1t will surprise no one if
they gain decided advantages in the be-
ginning of the struggle. But the con-
test is too unequal to make its ultimate
issue doubtful. 1t is eight millions
against eighty; and while the eighty are
united under one head, with a powerful
organization, and the immense backing
which the greatest empire in the world
eau give, the eight are divided, virtually
resourceless, with no credit abroad, and
40 government that they can respect or
depend upon. Russia has managed the
diplomatic preliminaries to the contest
with so much ingenious address that it
will be difficult for any European power
save Austria to interfere, and the inter
ference of Austria will be at the most for
the protection of her allies.
Unless England comes to the assist
ance of Turkey she must be driven to
the wall, and Mr. Ledyard has informed
he porte that it can expect no help from
England Indeed, England has nothing
to gain by keeping the Turk in Europe
one day longer. Constantinople is not
necessary for the protection of the Brit
sh empire in the East. The Suez canal
makes the possession of Egypt thou
sand times more important to England
than the whole of Turkey could possibly
be. But Russia will not be likely to ex-
cite England's jealousy too much, and
will stop short the goal of her ambition
Alexander is in no hurry to water his
horse in the Bosphorus.

Escorted by Whales.

The San Francisco Chronicle has been
put in possession of a curious story by
Captain Refs, of the British steamer
Fleur de Lis, which recently arrived at
that port from Androssan. The captain
says that when off Staten island, which
lies eastward from Cape Eorn, the ship
encountered school of whales, which
seems to have resolved itself into an
escort to attend her on the remainder of
her passage. The whales kept in close
company with the ship throug gh this long
stretch of thousands of miles, and did
not leave her until she arrived off San
Francisco and put in for the shore, when
they took their leave with series of
lively founders and an occasional spout
to assure the master they were taking in
bumpers to his health. AS the passage
around Cape Horn and through the Pa.
oifo was good one, it is fair to presume
that the escort Yves auspicious,

THE MINISTERIAL BUREAU.
An Intelligence Office i'm New York for
Preachers Who are Out of Employment.

An IntellIgencc Ofice In New York for
Preachers Who arc Ont of Employment.
EYES," said the Rev. Charles G. Goss
to the reporter of New York paper, "a
ministerial bureau is an oddity in our
country; but it is none the less q neces-
sity. Preachers are often thrown upon
the world without the immediate oppor-
tunity of locating themselves comforta-
bly,, and churches are almost as frequent
ly left without pastors. 1t is my hope
that through the agency of this bureau
many of these mutual wants may be sup
piled"
Have you had many applications
from churches %
Very few so far, for the reason,
perhaps, that had not advertised the
project"
" Is there a reasonable prospect that
you will meet with success in your un-
dertaking ?"
"Ihat, of course, is question of
time. Educational bureaus seem to sue
ceed, labor bureaus are not all failures,
and have heard that one or two matri-
monial bureaus are meeting with excel
lent encouragement. Why should not a
ministerial bureau succeed, dealing, as it
must, with hundreds of churches and
thousands of preachers?"
"There must be wide field for you
to work in."
Yes the business of supplying
churches with pastors, or of introducing
unemployed preachers to trustees and
other employing authorities, is of itself
an extensive one. But Ipropose to make
the bmeau medium of exchange be-
tween pastors; an agency through which
the pastor who wishes to remove to q
better climate, more congenial neigh
borhood, or to field in which his SER
vices may be more literally remunerated,
can make his wants known, and can be
placed in communication with persons
who are in need of just such a man.
This branch of the business will be con-
Quoted in such way that there can be
no possibility of engendering i'll feeling
between the pastor and his people. He
continues his labor with them until the
arrangements for change are satisfac-
torily made; he gives notice of his in
tended removal, and at the appointed
time he sewers the old connection and
takes on with the new. Many preacher
in the country is wearing himself out in
a climate which his constitution cannot
stand. He is poor, his acquaintance
with the outer world is limited, and his
only prospect is to work himself out
and die where he is. This bureau will
give him facilities for the needed change
such as he never dreamed of. The insti
tuition is in its infancy, but believe thai
it can be made a great convenience and
great blessing"

The POlIceman's Story.
A TEMPERANCE PLEA.

TEMPERANCE PLEA.
/ am policeman 1904;
Been on the force for years score.
Lots Of stories have to tell,
Queer, sad, terrible, funny and-well,
I'll stop to tell you little thing
That happened year ago last spring;
Weary, but watchful, paced my beat,
Up and down thro' well-known street,
When, block away, saw throng,
And hastend d to see whatwas wrong.
There found a wee, wee girl,
Dainty and pretty, fair hair in curl.
Weeping, her hands in air she toss'd,
Crying "Oh, mamma, Oh, papa, rs lost ~
One moment she wept, another she smiled
And thought of my own pet darling child
At home, and safe in her mothers arms;
So tried to quiet this ones alarms
And first her sunny head caress'd,
Then lifted her up to my beating breast,
And carried her, sobbing, sweet little fay,
To the station house, only two blocks away.
Captain Caffry was then in command,
He took the lost baby girl by the hand,
And, sitting her up on the desk by his side,
Pleasantly talked till no longer she cried,
But dried up her tears, and soon, smiling and
gay,
Was earnestly lisping and prattling away;
And told of her beautiful mamma, her joys,
Her big bearded papa, her home and her toys ;
How she heard wandering German band play,
And, listening, followed them on their way;
stopp'd when they stopp'd, and cross'd when
they cross'd,
Grew tired, cried for home, and then found she
was lost.
The door of the station house open'd Just then,
Admitting " drunk between two of our men
Not dirty and ragged, and spelling for fight,
But what you might term respectable tight, "
Led up to the desk he just lifted his eyes,
Started back, nearly fell, with cry of surprise,
OF terror, of shame: "My Grace Can it be ?"
The instant had made him as sober as she.
"My papa Dear papa !" They kiss'd and
caressd,
Both weeping, as she nestled close o his breast
"Quite a scene !" said the captain, his face in a
glow;
81 think you've been punished enough. You
may go"
The father bowed low-the little one smiled
And he pass'd through the door in the care of
his child.
Do you know that feel that he made great
vow
Just then, against liquor, and It's mbroken
now
