Duck lake lies on the north side of the
Pyramid branch of the Truckee river and
west OF he upper portion or head of Pyra-
mid lake, from which it is only separated
by low hill or ridge of sand. 1t is circu-
lar in form, and has neither inlet nor outlet
This small lake Is d great place of resort and
refuge for ducks, geese, swan and all kinds
Of waterfowl when there is heavy wind
and Pyramid lake is made to boil like pot
They then flock to this less boisterous sheet
of water by tens of Thousands Arrived
there. however, they are by no means safe
from the Indians in daylight hours On
such occasions the Indians prepare for Il
grand duck drive. The waterfowl dread the
tossing waves and white caps of Pyramid
lake, and try 10 remain in shelter acres of

But the red men organize their duck drive
and the war soon opens All who have

there lying in wait bring down hundreds OF

small boys do great execution. Lying on

they pull their arrows with both hands

labor, with an alertness that to66 in the
whole field, with an eloquence which daz-
zlcd even his enemies, like q very C9ur
de Lion he fought almost single handed
the unequal fight. At distance looking
at him it would seem wholly beyond his
physical powers. Close ut hand his face
is marked, indeed, with the lines and
wrinkles of many campaigns, and you
see before you still an old man, but you
see also what at distance you miss, that
the lines are the lines of endurance and

Reports Of Newspaper Circulation.

There is no public faith in the accuracy
of the daily reports Of newspaper circula-
ton which have been published in many
Journals. Even when sworn to they are
not believed, for the reason that they
may be honestly sworn to and yet be
largely false. Amy number of papers
may be printed and distributed and
sworn to rs circulation; but how many
are returneds how many are not sent to
bona iide readers2 II the cash payments
for circulation were honestly sworn to,
The honest circulation would be reached;
but no Newspaper has ever attempted
that only honest test of bona flde readers
Purchases by political committees, spe-
cial sales to advertisers, which are often
made at nominal prices to give the APP
pearancc of circulation; specimen papers
sent free through canvaSsers or by mail
to introduce the paper bear no relation to
bona fdc newspaper circulation, and
Journals which specially force and boost
circulation always withhold from their
public figures the large percentage of
papers not read or paid for.-Philadel-

pr.s.rviDc Their Family Names.

There have Of late been frequent alluS'
ions in the newspapers To the propriety M
married women preserving their family
names as middle names. There has been
quito u general expression favorable to
their doing SO, and the fact that the
presidents wife signs her name Frances
Folsom Cleveland, and Mrs. Ulysses
Grant, ST. General Grants widow,
signs hers Julia Dent Grant, and
her sons wife, Mrs. Fred Grant,
signs hers Ida HonOre Grant IS
quoted TO give their examples as
a further argument in favor of the
practice. But this, it seems, is far from
being wholly a matter of fashion, as many
women seem to suppose. 1t has q legal
side; and q real estate agent in Wash
ington, who has lately suffered much
from the results of the whims Of some OF
his feminine clients in changing their
names ut viii, without taking any steps
to lcgalize the changes, and yet attiXing
the revised names to deeds of sale OF real
estate, has been commenting with some
severity upon the practice. Washington

Geronimo in Captivity.

To all appearances neither Geronimo
nor any Of his band entertain the belief
that fate has anything unpleasant in
store for them. They arc quartered in
four big tents 1T san Antonio, and never
lived 50 well in their lives as they have
since their capture. When they arrived
i'm TnXaS the squawS were attircd in full
evening costume, except rs to the
legs, upon which they wore leather leg
gings, without which their flesh would
have been torn tn ribbons in their flight.
The bucks wore u bit of cloth that looked
like u porous plaster ON their chests, Il
brcech cloth and lrgSingS; none of them
wore head gear. Their luXuriant growth
of inky black hair seems quite sufficient
To protect them from i'll effects OF sun
shine or storm Since their arrival they
have been logged out in most gorgeous
style.
Geronimo wore pair of COW hide
boots, into which his white cotton draw
rrs were tucked; his copper COlured body
was covered with calico shirt. lie anu
his followers always wear their shirts
Chinese fashion, and no matter what else
they may wear, they never fail to don
the brccch cloth, and in such manner
that il will show beneath the shirt
Around his neck was n hurschair chain,

sack coat buttoncd up To the chin with
three different kinds Of buttons and a
broad brimmcd felt hat. He looked

a silver dollar with yard-wide smile,
and showed that he was not ungrateful
by making his visitors II present at least
of equal value. lie also shook hands AT
