When we look at the quality of ten.
derness we see at once that it is not
eifeminacy. If it were then we, who
are men all over and men all through,
every inch of us and every ounce of
us, would be barred out by our pro-
nounced masculinity. The world loves
to say that religion is for women and
children, and the ministry is for men
who are effeminate in quality, unequal
to the rough and tumble of the world,
which means, in the plain, not good
enough for anything except to be
clergymen. And when it sees one in
the ministry whose intellect commands
respect, whose hair is short, whose
muscle is big, whose voice is resonant,
and whose garb is not label of his
calling, he is apt to say, in California
phrase: "He ought to be in politics;
he has no business to be hoeing small
potatoes in the garden of the Lord.
There are men whose phrenology,
physiognomy and physiology mark
them as gentlemen and retiring. They
have "A strong, sweet dash of the fem.
lnine. Some of them get into the
ministry. There they are beloved,
and lead quiet, happy, useful lives,
sometimes going to the front. But in
ability to battle with the world keeps
many such from reaching the front
ranks. For every prominent pastor
knows that the lawyer or the merchant
has no severer tussle with men than
the front-rank minister. It is, then,
when men of strength and capacity
school themselves to a tenderness that
is not theirs by nature that the quality
shines out.-At Home and Abroad.

OF course in raising 90, 900 to Is,
600 ducks it is important that one
should have the most suitable stock.
A cut of one or two cents per pound
from the highest market rates will
make n great difference in the receipts
The quality must be the best. The
quicker they grow, the shorter the
time they must be kept The earlier
they are put on the market, the higher
the price. There is more profit in
one early bird sold at thirty-five cents
per pound than several late ones at
thirteen TO sixteen cents. Pure white
feathers bring the most.
James Rankin has tried ali breeds
of ducks and finds oil have their outs.
Aylesbury ducks have white feathers,
but they and their crosses are longer
in maturing and harder to pick.
Pekins he found matured earlier by
ten days or fortnight. Rouens are
not only longer in maturing but are
tender and delicate. Cayugas are
fine, plump birds and lay as well, eggs
hatch as we'll and ducklings mature
as early as the Pekins, but they are
smaller, have black plumage and the
dark pin feathers hurt their appear
ance.
Crosses between the two were fine
and plump, took on fat as readily and
matured as early as the Pekins, but
they came mottled in plumage, had
dark skin in patches and dark pin
feathers, so brought less. Their
feathers also sell for much less. A
cross between Cayugas and Rouens
gave all the good qualities of the
former and are larger than the latter
and make better table bird, but do
not equal Pekins. Evidently the right
breed to cross with Pekins does not
exist or has not been found, that is,
with the present requirements of the
market.
About three-fourths of those who
take up artificial duck raising make
failure of it because they are not
suited to the business. It requires
intense application and constant
supervision. All hands must be up
early and work enrly and late. Most
people are unwilling to put in the
sixteen to seventeen hours required
during the long summer days.
A back lot in thickly settled place
is not suited to extensive duck raising.
One should be located in the country
away from near neighbors and where
cats are not so plenty. Ponds are not
necessary to success, although the
plumage of breeding birds that have
access to them looks cleaner and in
better condition. Young ducks grown
for market do best if they have only
water to drink. Land grown ducks
in appearance do not show what they
are and breeding birds shipped after
April look very ragged. Old birds
stand shipment better than young
ones and are less apt to break down
before they arrive, but Mr.. Rankin
does not guarantee their safe arrival.

odd Methods Of venezuelan COWBOYS,

When the cowboy of Venezuela
wishes to catch bull or COW for

with horse and bovine on the dead run
stoops from his saddle, grasps the

ever, as each card expires, inspect the

the card holder has not abused his priyile-
ges, and the guaranty is still good, the
card will simply be entered for another
period of thyee years from date of present
expiration. In cases where gHarantor has
died, or moved away, or become unreliable
card holders will be asked to make out q
now application and get an acceptable
gta nntor. NS
When this has been done their chrds
will be likewise extended, for three years.
The same card number will be used in
both cases. The cards 'of persons who
have died, or moved away come under tho
censure of the library, tOr in any way be-
come unreliable, will be cancelled, and
those card numbers will not again be
used. Cards numbered from to 273O may
