onIv shows their ignorance. There never was
mother lived who couldn't read bsby's letter.
Every criss-cross and every wiggle-wagglc IN
it has its meaning for the fond mother.
TO BIO sure, baby's letters are written in q
language that no-acconnt single people do not
understand. It's language that hasn't any
grammar rhetoric or orthography. It's
language that the wisest philosopher and the
greatest linguist may be unable to read, and
that the poorest peasant may deeipher at
glance. 1t is a language that is learned by love
aud not by wisdom.
Do you treasure baby's make believe letters?
Do you ever think of the day when those
letters may be botted with tears? Do you ever
think of the day when they may be messages
from another world?
Many a mother who sits with the love-light
in her eyes and smiles when baby overhauls
the writing desk and starts ont to write mama
letter is doomed to treasure these make
| believes as her dearest remembrance of loved
| one that is gone before.
| Many of these mothers, fated to years of sor-
| row and sad membrance are all unknowingiy
| themselves at fault for the sword that bangles
! over the heads of their darlings. For her own
| sake and that of her babies. every woman
| should have and read DIR. Pierce's Common
| Sense Medical Adviser. 1t is the best woman s
| medical work ever written. 1t contains zoos
| pages and over 800 illustrations. Several chap
| tiers and illustrations are devoted to the pro-
| ductive physiology of women. 1t IS written In
! plain, everyday English, with no confusing
technical terms. 1t contains prescriptions and
| ad invaluable to women.
1t tells about marvellous medicine for ailing
women. The name of this medicine is DR..
| Pierce's Fayorite Prescription. 1t is q safe,
sure, speedy cure for all weakness and disease
| of the delicate organs that bear the burdens of
| maternity. 1t allays Inflammation, soo,hes
pain, cures liberation and stops all facilitating
drains. 1t banishes the discomforts of the Pc
riod preceding motherhood and makes baby s
coming safe and almost painless. 1t insures
the health of the little newcomer. It insures
a robust child that will be able to Withstand
the ordinary maladies of childhood. 1t insures
q child that will not have in his little body the
| hereditary faint of disease. 1t transforms weak,
nervous, sickly. fretful women into robust, hap
by wives and mothers, and in q large measure
insures them against the loss of their little
ones. Those who wish to know more about

The patriotic educator should himself be a
patriot whose whole heart and soul is itn bued
with the principles Of loyal, Christian citizen
ship. He should be an educator who has
earnest, lofty thoughts and intense love aud en-.
thusiasm for his country; loyal to his country's
flag, with respect and reverence for the Magma
Charta OF our Liberties. enshriued In the Con-
stitution of the United States and the Declare
ton of independence.
He should show eternal vigilance to our
sacred institutions, observe and respect our
Sabbath, preserve orr language and customs,
| the purity Of the ballot, resistance to dishonest
political aspirants and ofice-holders, and wage
perpetual warfare against all social evils that
tend 20 pellute and degrade mankind.
The patriotic educator should teach what is
the best for all the people, irrespective of color,
| religion, nationality, or previous condition.
standing mp fearlessly in their defense. This
| is the doctrine Of Washington and the found
ers of our country; of Abraham Lincoln and
the men who died that the Union might live.
The patriotic educator should be imbued
with the belief that love of country is growth
aud not sudden inspiration. He should have
a thorough knowledge of his country's history,
the glorious achievements OF orr flag, the
strength and progress of our institutions. Lib
erty, the rights OF man, the love Of justice
must be his patriotic slogan.
1be patrlotic tducasof must grasp the 1u1i

1 ism, seeking tue best means to impress a stu
dent with the ceremony of the flag salute; ex-
planning why it should be given. what tue col
ors signify, what the stars mean, and Whist the
perfect flag symboiizes
The patriotic educator should make instruc-
| ton IN American citizenship. the history of our
country and the flag. chief part of the course
of study, and so delightful and inspiring that
| il will warm the heart and impress the mind
and soul with lofty aspirations, tender thoughts
and emotions
The patriotic educator. after faithful perse-
verance, will become intensely interested and
| devoted to the cause, and will be made to feel
| and understand how by this means a sincere
| fidelity to country may be developed in
the hearts of the young. together with au un-
| selfish love that will lead to the highest self
sacrifice, and devotion that will in time purify
aud cleanse humanity of many existing evils.
The patriotic educator. through the instruc-
lions impartca- will day by day appreciate
| more ard mon what j, means to be a patriotic
| citizen of a Nation conceived in liberty and
| dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal" Then surely will the patriotic
educator become the precursor of noble aims
and high endeavor.

The food of ducks should consist mainly
of meat, vegetables aud grasses, with small
ration of grain during the middle of the
day. The wild duck obtains its food from
brooks, ponds and water fronts, and consists
chiefly of grasses. roots, flags, small fish and
various kinds of water insects. This class
of food should be supplied the dOmesticated
duck in confinement in preference to hard
grain diet The duck has no crop; the
small duct or passage leads from its throat
direct to it's gizzard.
During cold weather they should be fed
three times day. The morning and even
ing meals should be mash of wheat bran
and cornmeai mixed with boiled turnips,
potatoes or cabbage, and small quantity of
ground meat. At noon cracked corn, wheat
and oats should be fed. Cabbage leaves and
turnip tops thrown in the pens between
meals will be relished by them. Provide q
small patch of green rye when convenient.
Do not leave any food in the troughs TO sour
Feed only as much as the birds will eat up
clean.
An excellent food consists of mash Of
cooked turnips or potatoes, with one-third
cornmeal or wheat screenings added, to be
fed three times day until the ducklings
arc three weeks old. Fresh fish, grass, and
| heritage is an agreeable diet for ducklings.
SKINNED or sour milk may be mixed with
the mash, but should never be given as
| drink. Dueklings should be kept in warm,
dry coops. The coops should be closed early
| at night and opened late in the morning.
Until they are month old the ducklings
| should be allowed to remain only short
time at intervals in the water, for too long
bathing produces cramps when young.
| Cold dews and showers will stunt them at
| this age, and. like young turkeys. they sell
dom recover from the effects of the chill.
