Some Truths About Lying. by a
Frankfort Minister.

There are at least fonr ways OF
lying-by saying what we know is
false, by keeping silent when silence
makes false impression, by telling
but half the truth, and by acting SO as
to deceive.
The inclination to lie is born of the
devil, and he who yields to the inclinf.
ton, is the child of the devil, how.
ever little he may like his paternity
Truthfullness has to do with the
whole man, and will show itself in
thinking, feeling and acting, as well
as in our speaking. The Almighty
desires truth in the inward parts" nc
less than on the lips.
Some one recently said, at is only
tombstones that can stand upright and
lie on their faces at the same time,
but many of us have seen two-legge6
monuments perform the same feat.
The fatterer and slanderer are twin
brothers, nay, they are often the same
identical person; for he who will
fiatter You to your face will not scru.
pie to SANDER you behind your back

Dir. E. A. Guerrant, of Jessamine,
who preached here Sunday, and spent
some time socially among his many

little girls over boys, and in illustra-
ton of his position, told the following
"One day, just at night-fall, we were
marching into the battle of -. We
knew we were going into the jaws OF
death, and one old Confederate who
realized this especially well, broke out
in to song: Backward, turn back

big fellow on the other end of the line
yelled Yes and a gal baby at that"

Duck Raising For Women.

Duck raising has proved so profita-
BILE with kme, that I am anxious for
other women to try this branch of the
poultry business, as means of max
ing money at home. ...
They require less trouble and atten-
ton than chickens; are freer from
the numerous diseases which make
the profits in chicken raising so un-
certain. Ducks are excellent fora
gers, and after they are a few weeks
old obtain large part of their food
in this way.
Duck, eggs are best hatched under a
chicken. hen. The ducklings should
be kept in pen until they are three
weeks old, when they may be put with
the old ducks. For the first "a
hours they seem drowsy and eat moth
ing, after that feed cornmeal moisten-
ed with water or milk, until they are
several weeks old, when they should
have part whole grain. Ducks may
be raised without water to swim in,
if given plenty of fresh water 10 drink
but they grow faster, larger, and more
thrifty, and keep themselves cleaner if
they have access to pond or other
good swimming place.
The Pekin duck is the most valua.
BILE variety. They grow very large,
mature early, are hardy, good layers,
and have snow white plumage. They
weigh from twelve to sixteen pounds
per pair.
Ducks are great layers, commence
ing February and continuing until
October. They arc ready for market
when they are six or eight months old
aud bring the highest prices when
marketed in July or August. If they
are dry picked the feathers bring
from forty to fifty cents per pound
and if the down is kept separate from
the feathers it commands high
price for down comfortables and pill
lows.
The plumage of the white varieties
is easily dyed, and can be made into
ornaments for hats, feather trimmings,
fans, ETC., and sold at a good price.
So the profits on ducks are made in
several different ways. On their
bodies for the market, their feathers
and down which are always in de-
mand, and on the eggs, which sell for
4 higher price than hens eggs.
Any woman desiring TO increase
her income will find ducks very pro-
fitable and easy to raise, and after
giving them fair trial will be con-
vinced that there is twice the money
in them that there is in chickens,
without near the vexation and trouble.

belonging to her. She did so, and the
young man held his mother-in-law as
a prisoner and hostage for the return

and stood guard.
"The second day after, the father Of
