Photography Versus Ducks.

Photography is killing more ducks
than are hunters, is an alarming claim
made by an enthusiastic sportsman,
who goes on to explain that the uni
versal practice of photography is Gre
ating an immense demand for an albu-
men which is used on the sensitized
Photographic paper and that this albu-
men can be produced only from eggs.
The eggs from the ordinary domestic
hen are too valuable for food to be
sacrificed to art, and as a consequence
the breeding grounds of wild birds are
CLEANED for the desired fluid. The
Hebrides islands of Scotland, Lofoden
of Norway, Labrador, Greenland,
South America and all other extensive
haunts of large birds are robbed con-
stantly by the natives or men from
sailing expeditions, and the result is
especially hard on the ducks. Labra-
dor is a particularly unfortunated land
in this connection, for the miles of
crowded nests offer an irresistible
temptation to the egg hunters.

HE NAILED HIS SISTER DOWN.

Tommy Teale was just six years old.
To-day was his birthday, but instead
of having a good time to celebrate
such a grand event be had to take
care of the baby. His mother had
gone out on some errands and left him
alone with his little sister. Tommy
felt very, very badly to think such q
thing had to happen on his birthday,
= Il, besides, little Nellie cried a great
deal.
He did not know what to do with
her; Of course he loved her dearly,
but did not enjoy taking care of her
when she was fretful.
As he stood at the window Ned
Brown came out to play on the side
walk.
"Come out, Tommyl" he shouted.
81 can't!" shouted back the little
prisoner. 'Tye got to tend the
baby"
"Shut the door tight then she can't
get out" screamed Ned.
Tommy thought it over. He knew
more about babies than Ned Brown
did. He thought Nellie might burn
herself on the stove, or pull the cover
off the table and break the lamp, or
some other thing that babies seem to
love to do. Ali bright idea came
into Tommy's head. he ran quickly
to the closet, got the hammer and
tacks, and then went over to his baby
sister and drove three tacks right
through her pretty little dress, fasten-
ing her down tight to the floor.
When this was done he ran out Of
doors as fast as his little fat legs could
carry him. In such a hurry was he
to get to play that he neglected to
shut the door tightly.
In about an hour Tommy's mother
returned, and, much to her surprise,
she found her baby daughter out on
the top step. But her chubby arms
and dimpled neck were bare, for she
had no dress on. Her mother picked
her up and carried her into the sit
ting-room. There was the little frock,
nailed to the floor, in torn condition.
showing how very hard baby must
have struggled to get away and, Of
course, it had to be put into the RAG
bag.
Tommy came in soon after, and was
very much astonished ct what hii
mother told him.

said, "I thought you only wished
to keep her out of mischief, and ]

Two little tots went out for a stroll,
And they wandered near and far
Through the mystical breath OF an unknown
land,
In search FOR the "choo-choo' car.
Walter was only three years old,
But Roy, he was four and a man,
And that's how Il all began, my dear,
that's how Il an began.
Then an angel sailed from tho land Of
light,
And be followed them a. they went
And he tucked them up in the soft, sweet
grass
When the summer day was spent.
And the stars came out, and the moon she
smiled
AS only the moonbeams can,
And that's how It All began, my dear,
That's how Il all began.
The great big city had sunk to rest,
And the world was hushed In prayer
But the angels came, and in turn by turn
They guarded those infants there.
The morning sun 1t iretted the east
With It's wonderful golden bars,
Ard the little ones slept In the sweet soft
grass
and rode on the "choo-choo" cars.
