THE WOOD DUCKS FIRST SWIM.
How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
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 pretticst of water fowls. The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high mp in the cavity
of some decayed limb, usually one that
juts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven TO 13 in num-
ber, are creamy white in color. House
keeping is begun in May, and the young
are ready 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 con
WINGED that they never could have left
home unaided
One bright June morning fortune fa-
vored me. 1 had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to a houseful Of
noisy red wing blackbirds. My boat was
lying motiOnless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores Of the lake.
Suddenly heard loud splash behind
me, and turning TO look saw ON the
water a short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from ho- wings, female
wood duck and near her two tiny yellow
balls, so small that they reSembled wa
ter lilies floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, hovered and
circled above her babies for a few min
uteS and then flew to cavity in q tall
tree, a short distance away. In snort
time the male bird, arrayed i'll the hand
soonest of plumage, joined his mate.
Then for a few minutes l could hear a
soft cooling noise, which reminded me u
husband and wife discussing some I'M
portant point relative TO tho welfare uf
their children
The cooing soon stopped and the moth
er duck appeared in the doorway Of her
home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. As her breast
struck the surface she Immediately
dived, and where her body had been /
was surprised to see two little duc5lings
swimming about as unconcerned rs
though they had been travelling in the
water for years.
The routine of flying to the nest was
repeated 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 IL
Then the mother duck swan out in the
lake, followed by her brood, while the
male bird brought up the rear Of the
procession, acting, no doubt, as a guard
and protectOr.-C. 5. Shick in Phila-

The snub That lie Took From n Clerk

Inever saw man take life less seri-

He has an easy way Of saying and doing
things that appeal To the aesthetic nature.
Nothing worries him. not all his mil

seem dull l have known people % take
him for a soft. slow. stupid fellow, in
stead Of the hard, gliding. firm. rocky
fellow that ne is He once had an en-
ployee, q nervous, irritable young man,
full Of his own importance. hut withal
a capable clerk. He occupied an office in
which there was one of those pulling
and lifting machines, and regularly ev-
cry morning about 9, when he was i'm
mersed in figures Of correspondence, a
small, black mustached man, quiet and
diffident in manner, entered, said Good
morning, walked on tiptoe &c ne cor
ner and exercised for a quarter IN
hour. 1t became a bore TO the clerk. who
at last, unable to stand il longer, re
marked, with considerable heat and FIRE
works, to the inofensive but annoying
stranger:
"How do you expect me 20 do my
work properly while you are fooling
with that - machine: I'm getting
tired Of it. Why don't you put it where
il won't worry person 70 death:"
The stranger re. lied. with a blush Il
am very sorry if it annoys you. will
have il removed at once.
A porter took IL away within an hour.
A few days later the clerk was sent for
10y hIr Flag.er, whom he found in ear
nest conversation with the small, black
mustached man. The latter smiled nc
seeing him. gave Flagler some instruc-
tions and left he room.
"Wiu You tell me who that gentle
man is?" the young man asked. light

Bestty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell SO far, nearly 10000 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,-
900 more of his make; that means a
business of $40 900 600, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.
