he saw no robins In California, found the

Patchwork!

One of the most encouraging features
ofa cure made by S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. OF all diseases, it is
we'll known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
OF course, their admission is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he Is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle Of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of SIS. S.

DUCKS THAT NEVER SWAN.
Ten Thousand White Ones That Dig
for Winter,


On the green patch at the corner Of
Cottage Grove avenue and Seventy-ninth
street there are 10000 ducks and duck
lings, none of which have ever seen a
drop Of water save that which is doled
out to them daily as drink.
What is more, not one of these ducks,
young or old, ever had a mother, pro-
vided the old question as to which is the
mother, the duck which lays the egg
or the duck which matches it, be an
swered in favor of the latter. These
ducks were all raised in boxes by the
aid of kerosene oil and a lighted lamp
wick. When they felt cold after be-
ing taken from their Matching place
they were taught to turn beneath coils
of steam pipe which sputtered a well
come to the ducklings as they huddled
up under the iron pipes, "even as a hen
calleth her chickens under her wings"
There is not in this whole collection
of quacking birds a single n which
can claim a dark feather. Ten thou
sand strong they are, all as white as the
driven snow, a remarkable circum-
stance considering the fact that not
II of them ever had a bath. This
duck farm at the south end of Chicago
is not yet a single season old, and it
bears the distinction of being the only
rearing place for ducks in the United
States which accomplishes it's object
without a pond filled with the birds
natural element. The ducks quack
and grow fat and bring Is cents a pound
in the market, which is double the
price at which water-reared quackers
are quoted. 1t is only fair to say, how
ever, that no claim is made that abb
sence of water increases the price of the
bird. Their value is due to the fact
that the ducks are of a peculiar strain
and are sold when only ten weeks old.
There are at the farm several scores
OF old ducks which supply the eggs
from which the young are raised. A
few OF the most likely Of the offspring
are set aside occasionally to be kept
until maturity for egg-laying purposes.
A corresponding number of the old
ducks are disposed of. In about five
years time there will be ducks whose
ancestors for ten generations have not
known what it is to take a swim. The
youngsters will then be taken to the
vicinity of a pond Of water to see If
years of dry land habitation have
changed the nature of the bird, II they
flop their wings, quack and dig for the
water like ducks of the present day,
scientists will or will not be disap-
pointed, in accordance with the theories
which they hold.-Chicago Times-Her-

How little likelihood there is of either
Russia or France joining Emperor Will
liam in his projected coalition against
England will be seen by the recently
issued official trade reports, which show
that more than 80 per cent. of Frances
foreign commerce is transacted with
Great Britain, a country which consti-
tutes the market for more than a third
OF the entire production of Frances
industry. No less than 80 per cent. of
Russia's foreign trade is with Great
Britain, which is the best customer for
Muscovite grain; 500, o 900 pools go
to England each year, whereas Ger
many takes only $4,000 00 pools. 1t is
ridiculous, therefore, to imagine that
either France or Russia would sacrifice
its best markets and subject its staple
industries to downright ruin solely for
the purpose of satisfying a purely per-
sonal spite of the kaiser against his
English relatives.-N. Y. Tribune.

Reginald l.. Hidden, formerly of this
place and who was here a year ago last
spring, has returned from his second
course of study in Berlin and is now at
his home, in Vancouver, Wash. He gave
a recital in Portland, Oregon, Nov. g.,
and gets the following complimentary
notice from the "Oregonian:" "Mr.
Hidden displayed a technique and tone
that has seldom, if ever, been heard from
a v%iolinist in Portland. Throughout the
whole programme he held his audience
enraptured, and the enthusiasm mani
tested was very gratifying to the young
and accomplished artist. The recital
was tremendously popular, sufficient to
establish Mr.. Hidden's reputation as an
artist"
The Junior Christian Endeavor society
assisted by several young ladies pre-
scented the cantata, "The Junior Garden"
in the Congregational vestry last Friday
evening. 1t was a pretty entertainment,
the young people singing their songs
nicely and doing their marches well. The
entertainment was given under the d.
rection OF Mrs. Trull.
