WISE WORDS.

There is no dispute managed without
passion, and yet there is scarce dis
pute worth passion.
No man was ever so completely skilled
in the conduct of life, as not to receive
new information from age and expert
ence.
If we did but know how little some en-
JOY of the great things that they possess,
there would not be much envy in the
world.
Men are often capable of greater things
than they perform. They are sent into
the world with bills of credit and seldom
draw to their full extent.
The condition of the world would be
improved if men were to think less of
dishonor of submitting to wrong, and
more of dishonor of doing it.
Men are equally misunderstood from
their speech as well as from their silence;
but with this difference: their silence
does not represent them; their speech
misrepresents them.

them from friends, they are so obse9ui-
Gus and full of protestation for as wolf
resembles dog, so doth a flatterer a
friend.
No enjoyment, however inconsiderable,
is confined to the present moment. A
man is the happier for life from having
made once an agreeable tour, or lived for
any length of time with pleasant people,
or enjoyed any considerable interval OF
innocent pleasure.
Not to return one good office for an
other is inhuman; but to return evil for
good is diabolical There are too many
even of this sort, who, the more they
owe, tie more they hate. There is
nothing more dangerous than to oblige
these people, for when they are conscious
Of not paying the dcLt, they wish thc

HOW TO ROAST A DUCK.

In choosing ducks for roasting, get
those with thick yellowish feet and plump
bodies. Dress the same as a chicken, but
to insure tenderness they should hang a
day or two before using, if the weather
will permit. Make stuffing of bread
crumbs well buttered, and season with
pepper, salt, sage, or thyme, little very
finely chopped onion and one egg. Mix
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 good oven and haste frequently.
Not long before serving, dredge them
with -four. Young ducks will cook in
from thirty to forty minutes; old ones re-
quire from forty-fve minutes to an hour.
When done, make brown gravy and
pour some of it around, but not over the
ducks; also, send some to the table in
tureen If the flavor OF onion and sage
is not liked by all, one of the ducks should
be left unseasoned. It IS always we'll to
parboil old ducks before roasting Cur
rant jelly, apple sauce, and green peas, if
obtainable, are nice accomplishments for
this roast. L is said the choice parts in
serving are the "leg of aswimmer and the
wing of flyer" To remove the fish
favor of wild ducks, parboil them with
an onion, or haste them for few min
utes with hot water, to which has been
added some slices of onion. Afterward,
haste without using the onion Ya.ter

Evidences of Water Underground

A subterranean river is believed to flow

valley of the jim River. These are the
demonstrated facts: That water will
gush forth upon the sinking of a shaft to
"a depth of from one thousand to three
thousand feet anywhere along this re-
markable valley; that the length of the
strip of the country within which an
artesian flow may be relied upon is about
three hundred niles due north and south,
rom Yankton, where the Jim flows into
the Missouri, to the Devils Lake coun-
try, where it rises; that the width of
the strip varies from FIVE to about TWEEN
ty-five miles on either side of the narrow
and langrid jim; that from the northern
most extreme of this strip, suoterranean
water SUPPLY is to be found WITH more or
less certainty along g narrower strip run
ming along due west from the Devils
Lake country; that this strip crosses the
Missouri north of Bismarck and run par
allel with it until it meets the river again
at Great Falls. Artesian basins exist all
over the world, but to no great area or ex-
tent Here is one known to be three
hundred miles long north and south and
believed to be six hundred miles long

The Importance of good vegetable
garden to the farmers family can hardly
be over estimated. And yet, the ordi-
nary farmer seems inclined to ignore its
benefits and suffers it to become burden
to him instead of pleasure, as it would
be considered, if properly appreciated.
lie sees the profit in wheat and corn, be-
cause he sells the product of these &C.
reals, and the money he gets for them is
something tangible. But the products
of the garden are not sold, therefore he
sees no money coming in from it, and he
gets into the habit of thinking that time
and labor given to it are about the same
as thrown away or wasted. And, too, a
garden to a man who spends the most of
las time in great fields of corn and wheat
and hay during the spring and summer,
seems very little, circumscribed affair
something hardly worth "bothering"
with--tco insignificant to be given much
attention, in fact. Consequently the
vegetable garden is pretty sure to be neg
lectea by the head of the family, unless
the "head" happens to bea woman. If
most farmers wives had the requisite
amount of time and strength to attend to
the garden as it ought to be attended to,
says Eben E. Rexford, in Vicks kagazine,
| know very well that we would see fewer
patches of weeds dignified by the namo
of garden, from which few Inferior
vegetables are taken curing the season.
A housekeeper appreciates the advan-
tagos of well stocked gardc to draw
from as occasion requires. TIE ''men
folks" appreciate the vegetables which
the woman of the family sets before them
at meal time, but the despised garden
fails to get the credit it deserves, fer all
that. Many men seem to think that vege-
tables are, or ought to be, spontaneous
products. There ought to be plenty Ct
them without mans being obliged to do
anything to secure them. a garden
ought to plant and take care of itself.
But it SO happens that gardens "are not
made in that way and the man who is
net willing to give proper attention to a
garden cannot exrect to have one that is
w,rthy the name. "He who soweth not
shall not reap is Just as true to-day as
when it was first said.
If the farmer was obliged to buy the
vegetables used in his family through the
year, he would begin to understand how
much money there is in good garden.
If he could not afford to buy them, he
would begin to appreciate them as ne
does not when he has even limited sup
plT, and that of inferior quality. Take
that away entirely, and lie would see
what great benefit is derived from a
poor garden. Let him keep an account
Of the money paid out, if he purchases,
and ct the end of the year he understands,
as never before, the amount of good liv-
ing which the garden supplies, and he
would conclude that there is more money
in the garden than he had thought.

VALUE OLE MANuRE.

The value of manure varies as to
character of feed and locality. In some
places it is difficult, if not impossible, to
get it except by feeding animals and
thus making home supply. How to do
this most economically is question
worth studying. The kinds of food that
are best for fattening are not also best
for manure making. Corn is an excellent
food for making fat, but it does not make
rich manure. It is mainly starch or car
bon, which for plants is mostly furnished
by the carbonic acid of the air. Wheat
bran is excellent for making growth, and if
fed to animals that have completed their
growth, will give most of its phosphate
to the manure pile. At present prices of
cotton-seed meal and linseed meal, they
will return good deal of their cost to
the manure pile, if the manure made from
them is estimated at the same value as
are nitrogen and phosphates in com
mercial fertilizers. 1t is better to bug
such feeds now and have rich home
made manures, than to wait until the
growing season, and expend the money
for commercial manures alone. There
is some profit in feeding az mails Il : NE

A Confused Dog.

Mo- long ago two men who live cal
Stautfer's Mills, Penn, took beagle
hound and went over to Red Ridge to
hunt rabbits. A large bulldog followed
them and stayed near them while the
beagle scared the rabbits out of the brush.
All at once big rabbit scampered out o,
the underbrush and dashed down th2
slope past the men. Its appearance ex-
cited the bulldog, and he gave chase at
the top of his speed. When he was with
in few feet of the rabbit the dog got
tripped in some running vines and was
turned end for end like flash. He
didn't realize that he had been reversed,
and in his eagerness to get at the rabbit
lie ran straight up the hill the moment he
got out Of the tanSle. By that time the
rabbit was well toward the foot of the
slope, and after the confused dog had run
several rods he stopped all of a sudden,
sat upon his launches and howled for a
minute or so, much TO the amusement of
the hunters. -Ne,o York 1riIune.

Let him make up his mind to work it at

so much of the family's living, therefore
none that "pays" so well. That this is
the fact, every one who has good gar

those who have the best gardens appre-

Leaving a Representative on Duty.

A Milwaukee railway clerk, being very
anxious to ''get off" one evening when
all the men in his department were re-
quired to work late, applied to his chief
for permission to cease his labors, but
was fatty refused. He went back to
his desk, at the far end of the room, and
spent some time experimenting as to how
little work he could do. Finally an idea
struck him. He went to closet, secured
some old clothes, including coat and
hat, and soon had fair counterfeit pre-
sentiment of himself seated upon his stool.
Then he quietly stole away, hoping that
the dummy would deceive his chief If
the latter visited that part of the office
during the evening, and expecting to
reach the office the next morning in time
to take down the man of odds and ends
before the arrival of his chief.
He was out late that night, however,
and did not reach the office until late.
His chief, as luck would have it, reached
the office quite early, and the first thing
he old was to visit the desk of the
cunning clerk He gazeu with amaze
ment at the dummy.
"What is that?" he finally asked.

that's Jones, you know. "-MilnGukee
