they are all, practically, in the larger
cities OF the state, the one exception
being Buffalo, which has 1000 more
men than women. 1t would be inter-

s~uperhuous Buffalo men, whether
they are Polacks, Italians, lake sailors,
canal-boatmen, or merely lively young
bachelors from the country in the
western part of the state who nave
gone to Buffalo to seek their fortunes.
New York city's business opportunities,
which attract crowds of men, seem to
attract quite as many women. Yet
the excess OF women in New York is
comparatively small. The city has

pecared Wood breeds Anti.

An amateur gardener has had great
deal of trouble, year after year, with
certain bed in her flower garden. II was
so infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects. She tried every vermin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that portion of the
outer boarding of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When thee boards were taken
away, they were found to be alive with
ants, which, being destroyed, disappear
ed from her flowers, and she has had no
more annoyance from them. Often ants
will get into the house closets and into
the food in the same way from some de-
cayed wood near at hand, in which they
nest. If their source is looked up when
they come they usually may be unearth-
ed and killed.

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 prettiest of water fowls The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high up i'll the cavity
of some decayed limb, usually one that
juts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to 13 i'll num-
Der, are creamy white in color. House
keeping is begun in May, and the young
are ready to leave the nest early i'll June.
l was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. I 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. l had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to a houseful Of
noisy red wing blackbirtls. My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores of the lake
Suddenly l heard loud splash behind
me. and turning to look l saw on the
water a short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, a 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 few to a cavity III tall
tree, a short distance away. In a short
time the male bird, arrayed in the hand
soonest of plumage, joined his mate.
Then for a few minutes l could hear 4
soft cooling noise, which reminded me OF
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare Of
their children.
The cooling soon stopped and the moth
er duck appeared III the doorway Of hel
home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. As her breas
struck the surface she Immediately
dived, and where her body had been

The routine of flying to the nest wa

and each time it resulted in IN addition
of two to the family in the water, whicl
