SAGE OBSERVATIONS.

DoN'T call spade a spade when it is
shovel.
FASHION and decency should be always
on good terms.
No MAN is accountable for the mis-
takes of his friends.
A MAN is frequently known by the
company he keeps out of.
DON'T lose sight of an honorable enc
my; he'll make q good friend.
No MAN ever yet minded his own
business who didn't get into trouble.
HOWEVER great some mems abilities
are, their liabilities are always greater.
HONESTY is. the best policy, because it
is the only policy which insures against
loss of character.
THE soaring hawk has no ear for
music, and rates the cry of the part
ridge above the song of the nightin-
gale.
THE man who believes in ghosts may
be better citizen than the one who
does not believe in his fellow-creatures

STATISTICAL ATOMS.

IT is estimated that the Ohio river has
floating population of 5000 families,
who live in shanty boats and float from
town to town.
IN Charleston, S. c., where the pop
ulation is about equally divided be-
tween whites and blacks, there are two
deaths of blacks to one of whites.
IN Boston alone, in the past year,
some fifty persons have been hurt or
killed by accidents in elevators most
of them freight elevators, of which
there are over /, 100 in that city.
MORE than one-fourth of the people
of this country live in cities of 5000 in
habitants or more. The urban popula-
ton is set down at IS, 2S5, 670, or 20. IL
per cent. of the total (62, 622, 250).
IN 1889 of 1000 persons in prisons
in the United States $4,000 were for
eigners, and largely by those of foreign
birth. In the same year over $1O,00O,-
600 worth of property was stolen in
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City.

THE DUCKS AND GEESE.

ONE advantage with ducks is their
rapid growth.
GEESE eat the grass close down to
the roots and often kill it out in this
way.
IT is sometimes necessary to assist
ducks out Of the shells, but rarely if
ever chickens.
DUCKS, if kept in good condition,
rarely, if ever, get lousy, the oily
nature of their feathers preventing
this.
THE best breed of geese for feathers
is the Embder. They are entirely
white, and white geese feathers bring
the best prices.
DUCKS do not have the cholera, Group
or gapes, and hawks do not bother
them; they viii lay more eggs and the
eggs viii hatch better than hen eggs.
