Duck FARMN0.-It Is worthy o.
note that the Chinese very, very long
ago Matched out their ducks by arti.
fetal heat, and the incubators that
seem so wonderful to us at the poultry
shows and country fairs were an old
story In the east long before our great
grandfathers were born. II Is likely
that we got the domesticated duck
from China 30 long ago that we know
not when, and the writers ON natural
history content themselves with tell
ing MS that Il Is derived from the mall
lard, mixed In some cases with tho
musk-duck and the CAD wall, and per-
hnps the black duck. The domestica-
tion Of the duck has had an effect the
opposite Of that usually produced by
civilization ON man, for the mallard Is
strictly homogeneous. Waterton the
naturalist assures us, indeed, that the
Wild duck Is n most faithful husband
and remains paired for life, while the

Tho women Of Spain.

On Mrs. Lang's showing in the HUI
manitarian the life of Spanish woman
must be dull enough. But of course
there is everything in the point Of view.
The Spanish woman evidently has
neither our ambition nor our uncom-
fortab1y developed sense Of tedium.
She has no aspira tions for Q wider hori-
ron, she has no desire for university
education, or q parliamentary vote or q
profession to render her independent.
She is perfectly satisfied with lifeas It is;
she has no responsible titles, money affairs
being attended to By her male relatives
and housekeeping being looked after
by the servants; she has plenty Of dan

carried to science and is her chief
