the company must answer on that day why

taken this step Mr. Foster replied: II have

badly for the company The stock is sunk

now To ROAST A DUCK.

In choosing ducks for roasting, get
those with thick y%ellowish feet and plump
bodies. Dress the same as a chicken, but
to insure tenderness they should hang a
day or two before using, il the werther
will permit. Make a stufing of bread
crumbs we'll buttered, and season with
pepper, salt, sage, or thyme, a little very
finely chopped onion and one egg. MEX
all together lightly, stuff not very full,
sew up, tie so as TO draw the legs close to
the body and throw up the breast. Roast
in n good oven and haste freauentl-.
Not long before serving, dredge them
with flour. Young ducks will cook in
from thirty to forty minutes; old ones re-
quire from forty-ivc minutes TO an hour.
When done, make a brown gravy and
pour some Of it around, but not over the
ducks; also, send some 10 the table i'm a
tureen. If the flavor of onion and sage
is not liked by all, one of the ducks should
be left u~nseasoned. 1t is always well to
parboil old ducks before roasting. Cur
rant jelly, apple sauce, and green peas, if
obtainable, are nice accomplishments for
this roast. 1t is said the choice parts i'm
serving are the ''leg of a swimmer and the
wing of a flyer" To remove the fish
flavor of wild ducks, parboil them with
an onion, or haste them for a few min
utes with hot water, to which has been
added some slices of onion. Afterward.

Of wear, rip open the end seam and fold
so that the side seam will come in the

again, and your FELLOWSHIP will wear AS

fore.
Watch the tablecloths, and at the first
thin place making its appearance, darn
it carefully with the Rawlings, saved for
that purpose when the tablecloth was
made. In this way it will look much
better than if neglected until a hole is
worn through, when it must be patched.
Make carving-cloths from red-and-
white checked linen toweling fringe all

the c~arver's place; also one opposite,
where the mistress sits. They help to
save the wear Of the cloth at the edge
of the table. Three-quarters of n yard

why Factory Chimneys arc Uirb

There arc two reasons why factory
chimneys are built Of great height. In
the first place it is to carry off the smoke
far above the streets and the houses. and
pour it out where it will be readily dissi.
pated; and in the next place tall chin.
ncys make a strong draught. Indeed, the
higher the chimney the stronger the
draught. 1t is quite important to the
health Of any city that factory smoke
should be so carried off as not TO foul the
lungs of the people, but the fact that
tall chimucys afford plenty Of draught
for the furnaces is, perhaps, the chief in.
duccment for their erection. In chemical
works IL is highly necessary to have tall
chimneys, or the inhabitants would he
poisoned by the fumes. Where arsenic
Is used there would escape such fumes,
with "A short chimney, that the people
would be a%rsenically poisoned, and if
quicksilver were used everybody would
be salivated. Tall chimncys are a nc.
cessity, especially in crowded cities. and
but for the altitude at which they are
built the atmosphere would be fouled be-
yond endurance, dirt and darkness would
fall upon the neighborhOod in which the
factories were located, and offensive
gases and poisonous odors would be dis.
trlbutcd all around.

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take n dose or so of
DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription and
expect to feel well Immediately. True,
some do find marvclously speedy effects
from its use, but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in a day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
in their progress, and must be cured,
II at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use Of the
"Favorite Prescription " for a reasona-
bic length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, Irregularities and
distressing arrangements with which so
many females are afflicted. But the
use of this world-famed medicine must
be persisted in for a considerable time
