From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my home there is a
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of a colony of wood ducks. | have
spent hours along the shores watching
these prettiest of water fowls The wood
duck has one peculiarly not possessed by
other members of the duck family-it

to leave the nest early in June.
was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. l had often seen them, when
hardly clear of their shell. swimming about
with their mother and felt convinced that
they never could have left home unaded.
One bright June morning fortune ia
vored me. | had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to houseful OF noisy red
wing backbirds. My boat was lying
motionless among the tall cattails that
fringed the shores of the lake.
Suddenly | heard IA loud splash behind
me, and turning to look saw on the water
short distanc away, Just shaking the
spray from her wings, a female wood duck
and near her two tiny yellow balls, so
small that they resembled water lilies
floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for few minutes
and then flew to a cavity in tall tree, a
short distance away. In a short time the
male bird, arrayed in the handsomest of
plumage, jointed his mate. Then for a
few minutes | could hear soft cooling
noise, which reminded me of husband and
wife discussing some important point re-
latve to the welfare of their children.
The cooling soon stopped and the mother
duck appeared in the doorway of her home
Then she dropped toward the water at a
slight angle. AS her breast struck the
surface she Immediately dived, and where
her body had been was surprised to gee
little ducklings swimming about as uncon-
cerned as though they had been travelling
in the water for years
The routine of flying to the nest was re-
peated four times in rapid succession, and
each time it resulted in an addition OF two
to the family in the water, which kept
growing until it numbered u. Then the

the undersigned citizens of this city and

supervisors to enact and enforce that it
be unlawful for ladies to wear boomers or
knickerbockers, or any attire unbecoming
the fair sex. We consider the above wear

we have great compassion for the fair sex.
Hoping our prayer will be received and
special attention be given by your honora-

time that could at one discharge throw more
metal than any fleet ever assembled at one

the fort, during two days, the landing of the

assault and capture of the fort, all make a

DR.. j. r. Baird is not only mission
cry, but, what is not so well known, he is
physician of large experience.
His published account of the work he
Has done in the state of Michigan has
been read with interest not only by
those particularly concerned in missions,
but by the public generally.
DIR. Baird is known as practical
worker. His health was broken by the
severe winter climate in Michigan some
time ago, and he seemed likely to be
obliged to give up his work. But he re.
sorted to the use of that easily obtained
remedy, Psine's celery compound, and
was himself again, energetic and active
MS ever, within few weeks.
The reasonable, undisguised way in
which Paine's celery compound fortifies
The body against nervous exhaustion
and rebuilds its shattered parts has been
freely explained by physicians, the best
Of whom today always look to this great
remedy where DE- biIity is to be overcome.
1t does its work Thoroughly and speed
lily. Let every nervous sufferer, and
every man and woman who feels run
down and tired beyond the power of a
nights sleep 10 restore, try Paine's celery
compound. 1t will make the man or
woman strong and active and stout be-
never in this great remedy.
DR.. Baird, who is now at his home in
Indiana, Penn, bes his own exper-
fence as follows:
"It was about six years ago when 1
first tried Paine's celery compound for
nervous diseases and rheumatism. In
The severe winter climate in the state Of
Michigan was at our mission station
there, and became a great sufferer. 1
usedlthree bottles of Paine's celery COM

thereby. then began to advise my
members who were sick to use it, and in
every case where the directions were

strictly obeyed the treatment was sue
cessful. In few years past hundreds
of bottles have been used directly
through my advice. Paine's celery COM
pound is far better than any other rem
edy, and leaves no bad effects in the sys-
tenn. It's manifold healing qualities
make it boon oflife and blessing to
the afflicted beyond any preparation
within my reach.
The great falling off in the amount of
rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous
weakness that physicians have every
where noted comes from the wide spread
knowledge that there is no need of suf-
fering any longer from these common
diseases. 1t is now everywhere known
how correctly Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. d., LII. D., of Dartmouth college, un-
derstood the needs of suffering men and
women when he prepared the formula
for Paine's celery compound. BY the
use of this wordfamous remedy count
less men and women have saved them
selves from nervous prostration.
The cares of large families do not stop
when the day is over. There is incess-
ant anxiety, wakefulness and concern
for some member of the household. 1t
is no wonder that so many, especially
women, break down under the crushing
weight. Their very love and pride
keeps them always at work. They Give
