Election in the glass provides sympathy
and consolation, as well as reporting
progress; in health it provides COM
pany. What more can a man desire2
Take away the looking glass and see
what blank life becomesl No longer
can one examine ones tongue; no Ion
ger can one watch the play Of ones
features and discover in them the ever
fresh beauties SO mysteriously hidden
from others; a man cannot shave; q
woman cannot do her hair; the world
becomes chaotic without mirror At
any rate, it takes two people TO do,
without il what one can do with il;
and, after all, no man feels proper con-
tidence in his friends opinion as TO
whether his tie is straight, and no wo-
man believes the judgment of another
who tells her, You're not looking
quite SO well, my dear, tonight as
usual" Looking glasses have now
become such recognized mark of civ
ilization that man who finds himself
in a hanson cab which is unprovided
in this respect feels hims. If perfectly
justified in giving the driver the very
lowest legal fare. Undoubtedly he is
justified.
There seems TO be scuc cely any
greater pleasure for a young man
than to drive down Piccadilly in a
good hanson, and gaze first al the fair
damsels on the pavement, and then
into the little mirror by his side.
Watching this, one begins almost TO
understand why Narcissus jumped
into the water which served him as a
mirror Milton, apropos of this sub
ject, puts words into Eyes mouth
which are as true 10 nature as they
are in themselves expressive:

Doubtless the ''wat'ry CLEAN" was
the first mirror known 10 mankind.
The Jewesses of old use to arrange
their sable tresses by the aid of mirrors
of brass. The classical mirror was a
thin, polished, slightly convex disk of
bronse. Silver mirrors were invented
by Praxiteles about three centuries be-
fore the Christian era But though
looking glasses made of glazed plates
of bright metal were used as early as
1850, the modern type Of mirror was
not invented till the beginning Of the
Fourteenth century, at which date il
was manufactured in VSaice.-Lon-

Legs, etc.

In the way in which this scale has
been drawn up, the judging might either
Dc carried out (frst by the single points,
OF which there are thirty-six, of the
values given, or (second) by the groups,
OF which there are fourteen, at the
values summed up, or (third) by the
seven subdivisions of size, general quail
ity, head, forequarter, middle, hind
quarter, legs, etc.
cII3 the three ways here mentioned,
The tactic Rural Press says: THE first,
the single point system, would, for
breeding stock, not only be the simplest,
but also that by which the awards would
be the most correct, and afford the great
est amount Of information, for instead
Of having to come to q decision-as they
would have to do in judging by groups,
with regard TO two or three different
: points all differing to some extent in the
different animals in the class, and
thereby causing discussion and delay
the Judges, working under the single
points, would have to deal with one
point at a time, and, having only the one
question to decide, would be able to give
their awards rapidly and correctly. In
fact, judging by the single points, it is
lust carrying out the wise old saw OF
doing only one thing at time, and con-
sequently doing it well"

FIG. 2-PEKIN DUCKS.

The Pekins are of comparatively re-
cent introduction, but have won consider
able popularity on account Of their large
size, splendid laying powers and striking
appearance They do not mature so
rapidly as the Aylesbury, and their flesh
is not of the same rich and delicate flavor
as is that of the Aylesbury, Rouen or
Cayuga. On the other hand their eggs
are large and well favored and very
fertile indeed, and the ducklings easy to
rear, for which reasons they have been
largely crossed with the Aylesbury, in
order to counteract the evils of inbred
ing in some strains of the latter variety.
The Pekin differs from other ducks in
the shape and carriage of its body, which
is of a peculiar boat shape. The legs
are set well back, and the bird walks
rather upright, or penguin fashion. The
head is large and the neck long; the legs
and bill are of rich yellow and the
plumage generally has a peculiar cream
color running through it. 1t is graceful
on the water, and for crossing with the
Aylesbury is a very valuable variety.
The progeny are easily fattened and have
good flesh, two important points.

sary to have water dishes so constructed
that they can drink freely without get
ting wet themselves. Ducklings should
be fed about the same as chicks for the
first few days, giving them milk, if it be
had, by mixing their food with it. Care
should be taken the first few days to keep
the young ducklings warm and dry. For
the first week they will suffer more from
cold and wet than chicks; after that time
they will endure more Of either than
chicks. Corn meal, exclusively, is too
much concentrated, and will soon cripple
them in their legs and feet. 1t should be
mixed with bran, boiled potatoes, etc.
Of the many varieties of domestic
ducks, probably the Aylesbury is the
best known, as it is white in its plum
age, the slightest discolored feather de-
noting impurity of breed and being con-
sidered as disqualification for the show
pen. The bills of this breed are of a
pale pink color. The Aylesbury ducks
are easily acclimated; they are hardy,
mature early and grow to great size.

One Fiddiestring: one Wheel.

Here is a new story of Paganini. One time
in Paris he jumped into cab and ordered
the driver to make quick time to the theatre,
where an impatient audience was waiting to
hear him perform the famous prayer of Noise

whats the fare?" he inquired.
"For you, sir" said the driver, ''ten francs
"You jest, )" laughed the great violinist.
''Not so-you charge as much for place at
your concert"
Paganini was silent for minute, and then,
with complacent glance at the overreaching
cabman, said, handing him a decent fare:

upon one wheel. n-Detroit Free Press.

Stnne Frnits.

It is the seed that exhausts in fruit
production, says American Cultivator.
This is especially true of large seeds in
closed in stones. The proportion Of seed
to the fruit is proportionally greater in
the cherry, plum and peach than in the
apple or pear. In the development OF
seeds, potash is very essential. Trees
that overbear have the growth Of their
fruit checked at just the point where
seed development ought to begin. In
the grape vine the exhaustion from over
bearing causes the vine to mildew and
refuse to ripen either fruit or wood.
Thinning the punches early and apply
ing q liberal dose of potash salts are the
best preventives Of this diseased con-
dition of the vine.

Of all the domestic poultry which can
be kept by farmers, ducks are the most
profitable. They are hardy, easy to rear,
quick to fatten, and bring in the proper
seasons very good prices. The idea that
ducks must have access to either q pond
or a brook deters many from attempting
to raise them. This idea is, however,
erroneous, for while a pond or running
stream of water is to be desired, it is not
q necessity. Give the birds all the water
they need to drink and they will thrive,
other conditions being favorable. Indeed,
in many instances, they thrive better and
grow quicker confined in yards with Just
enough of water to drink. Shade is one
of the essentials to duck growing in warm
weather, also plenty Of green feed and
vegetables. Ducks are gross feeders, but
not particular as to quality. 1t is neceS-

Always milk In a clean, airy place, rree
from odors. Before beginning to milk
brush all the loose hair and dirt from the
cows side and udder. If the udder is
soiled have pail of water and cloth or
sponge at hand, and give it a thorough
cleaning. Have the hands dry and clean,
and do not wet the cows teats with
milk.
Be gentle with the COW and sit down
to her SO that you can place your head
against her flank and control the move
ment Of her leg with your left arm in
case she steps around or is inclined to
kick. The safest position is on q three
legged stool; taking the pail firmly be-
tween your knees, not getting SO near
or SO far away that the mixer cannot sit
firmly and steadily and rise quickly.
Take hold of the teat well up on the I'D
der and gently stroke it downward before
beginning to milk. Grasp the off hind
teat with the left hand and the near fore
teat with the right, or the off fore teat
with the right hand and the near hind
teat with the left, so as to milk across.
In grasping the teats reach well up on
the udder and press the milk down
ward into the tcat, closing the forefnger
and thumb tightly around it next the I'D
der as soon as the teat comes fairly within
the hand. Then close the second, third and
fourth fingers in order, giving a slight
but gentle pull on the teat, and squeez-
ing out of it all the milk it contains be-
fore loosening the grip. Repeat this
operation until the milk ceases to flow.
Let every mixer have the same COW
to milk regularly each night and morn
ing, and let him begin every time with
the same one, milking each in the same
order and closing with the same one
every time. This regularity induces q
sort of expectancy Of habit in the cows,
and each is prepared to be MIXED when
her turn comes. There is a sort of sur
prise or excitement about being MIXED
out of order that lessons the flow,
When the flow of milk is not large it
is generally necessary to strip first one
pair and then the other to coax the milk
into the teats, or to make the COW give
down" Grasping the udder high up
and stroking downward to the teat helps
expedite the flow CT milk In many
cases the milk does rot stream directly
downward into the pail, but off one side.
With a little care one can soon get the
right position to turn the stream into the
pail and avoid waste. Strip the teats at
least twice after exhausting the first
flow, and be sure the milk is all drawn.
