wednesday and were on their welding
trip to see Brobs's parents in slatington,
Lehigh County, Mrs High was on her way
to see her parents in Quakertown, Chester
county.
All Of a sudden Mr.. Brobst was heard to
exclaim; "1his trains going straight into
the river. See the lights dancing out yon-
der" lie had sprung from his seat, aud
his terrified young bride hastily seized him
by the coat and pitcously pleaded with HIN
to be seated "that all was going on we'll,
and that he was near to his old home once

Mrs. High assisted Mrs. Brobstas much as
she could In endeavorug to restrain
the man and quiet him down, but
hc was too strong for them and soon cxtri-
Gated himself from their grasp.
Realizing that lie was free, and before any
OF the now startled aud amazed passengers,
uduS ol WHOM nNu DCcA hfOuSeu from SUM
her, could interfere, young Brobst shreked
at the top Of his voice, goodbye, Gussieln
jerked open the door, gained the platform,
and In the next second leaped out iuto the
darknes as the train thundered ahead.

About Raising Ducks.

We will say, however, that only the large
breeds can be so treated. The common

give q islr profit for the labor involved. To
secure the best returns they should be
sold when anout ten weeks old. They
will then weigh Ave pounds each, or zen
pounds per pair. They come into market
about June and July after the prices for
chicks have bRen lowered. In marketing
them Il Is best To dress them, selling the
feathers. The prices depend upon the
demand. In May. II they are fat and at
traCtive In condition, as much a. 81 90 per
pair has been obtained, but such price
gradually becomes lower until from Is to
20 cents per pound is secured. Mr.. Ran.
kin states that his average price for young
ducks was % cents per pound for the en-
tire year. Old ducks do not bring more
than half that sum late In the season.
Ducks grow very fastAnd require frequent
feeding. For that reason they should be
fed often, and the more nourishing the
food tho better. Give soft food for the
flrst month, with grain, and plenty oil
grass and meat. DuGksare very voraClous,

make up for 1t IN rapid growth, and the
cost Of the food need not exceed five cents

The action Of the Chamber Of Commerce
Of Wheeling, in directing the attention Of
capitalists and manufacturers to the tacili-
ties and advantages eaioyed by that city

It shows q degree Of confidence among the

pie Of Wheeling must feel assured that
they have substantial Inducements to offer

resolutions declaring II their duty 10 foster
and encourage new projects,
There was q time when Pittsburghsra
were haunted by fears that Wheeling was
really, or would eventually become, the
head Of navigation on tho Ohio, but those
AppTehensions have long since ceased to
disturb us. Wheeling has made very
rapid strides towards metropolitan great

has kept far in the lead. There has been

habit Of our people to ''blow their own

never out Of place. There are thousands
OF capitalists In the country who have not

Cilities possessed by the Iron City as q

Millions OF capital are now lying unpro-

higher and smaller articles OF iron, steel,

economy In the use Of natural gas as a fuel
opens the door to endless possibilities in

Systematic method for letting the rest OF
