The nIisjudged Duck.

Now, the duck is considered par

animal. Yet, venture to affirm that,

Tor to the barn door or any other cock
or hen | have kept and closely
watched hundreds Of ducks; never
saw them fight with each other, nor
ever knew duck the agressor in
dispute with some other fowl. But l
have witnessed striking instances OF
charity and kindness in ducks. Let
one such case suffice: Among some
fifty or sixty head of ducks and fowls
| once had solitary little old bantam
hen. She became blind, or nearly so,
and, like other birds in that condition,
"sulked,' as it is called, j. e., kept by
herself in dark, retired corner of the
fowhhouse. knowing instinctively that
her cruel and cowardly brethren and
sisters would persecute her to death If
she appeared among them. Here she
might, perhaps, have starved but for
the constant and sympathetic atten
lions Of duck. Twice daily, every
day so long as the poor bantam lived,
some three weeks, this good Samaritan
in the form of a duck was observed to
fill her capacious beak with from
twenty to thirty grains of barley, with
which she proceeded to the fowl.house
and there deposited her store immedi-
ately in front of the bantam. Several
members of my family, as well as my
self, were frequent witnesses of this
beautiful incident. One more anec-
dete in evidence of the sagacity of the
ducks: | had five Aylesbury ducks,
with number of fowls. The lord OF
the yard, a most despotje chandelier,
would never suffer the ducks to feed
with his family and friends, when, at
the regular meal.times, the grain was
scattered for their common use. Zero
ciously, and without pity, he drove
them from the ground. This had been
going on for several weeks, and one
day, at the twelve o'clock repast, the
act of expulsion was performed as
usual. | was present and saw the
discounted ducks retire to corner
of the yard. There they evidently
held conference. Having been so
engaged some minutes, they proceeded
with deliberate and resolute air, in
single file, as is their wont, toward
their oppressor. Having reached the
tyrant, they surrounded him, each
duck turning his posterior toward the
enemy, and with concerted action
fairly hustled him clean out of the
yard. To see the surprise of the cock,
as he jumped from side to side to
avoid the pressure of the attacking
party, was ludicrous in the extreme

Cheap Medicine.

The London Lancet contains an
exhaustive article on the Therapeutic.
cal Drinking of Hot Water; its Origin
and USE The article is written by
Or. Ephraim Cutter, an eminent ply
stefan of New York city, and contains
some statements and suggestions,
which, to say the least, are certainly
worthy of attention. DR.. Gutter says
the first use made Of hot water as a
medicine or health regulator" was
made by DR. james II. Salisbury, of
New York, who, by Il series of expert
ments ON men and various animals,
demonstrated its efficacy. In his
article Dr. Cutter gives directions for
the proper use OF hot water. In the
first place it must be hot i. e., not less
than 110' nor more than 1909 Fahren.

the digestive organs. Cold water
depresses and lukewarm water causes

water the better For hemorrhages it

of hot water drank varies from one

my to the condition of the patient and
the disease treated. The hot water
should be taken one or two hours
before each meal and half an hour
before retiring, This gives the water
time TO operate before food enters the
stomach or sleep comes, The water
should be slipped slowly, and the
swallowing of half pint should take
half an hour. 1t takes six months to
wash out the liver and intestines thor
oughiy. If the water seems fiat"
havorings such as lemon, sage or gin
ger should be added. The effects of
drinking are noticed in the improved
feelings of the patient. The perspira-
ton is free. The digestion improves,
thirst disappears, and there is no
longer a craving for liquor. Taken
as \ whole, from DR.. Cutters estimate,
the hot water treatment is the most
complete remedy yet discovered foYall
the evils flesh is heir to.

invechve against Northern domination
were wholly missing. Fe spoke as a pa.
