before. / venture 10 send an account
Of the Circumstances: a pair Of do
mesticated Wild ducks we're brought
up on pond last year, and duringthe
winter the duck vas accidentally shot
by some one. The malIard remained
on the pond, but seemed very unhap-
o., and used to fy around repeatedly,
as if looking for his mate. Some tEc
months ago the mallard vas IRE

company rith one or two wood pi-
geons, and you'd accompany them to
the surrounding fields and walk about
nth them while they fed Every nov
and then it would take flight with
them when they rose.
The rood pigeons have established
themselves IN an oak tree oyerhang-
ing the pond, and are evidently going
TO nest there. They have been seen
to start on on fight from the tree,
and the n,allard would at once nse
from the pond and join them, when
theywould fiyroundand chase one an
other as # in play. The wood pigeons
frequently visit the garden close By,
and have lately been observed feeding
on some green peas which are growing
there. The mallard walks about the
garden With them. At the bottom
of the garden is a stone wall about
three feet high, with broad, fiat Top,
and the wood pigeons frequently fly
from the garden and perch on the
xall; the mallard has been seen to do
the same, waddling about on the wall
and seeming on the best possible
terms with them.-Field.

The Behavior Of the japanese Under
Trying Circumstances.
The japanese are as courteous as
they are theatrical and artistic. Their
courtesy and their art are very close
" allied. Their keen sense of cour-
tesy, and their unfagging practice of
it, has, believe, as much to do with
the quietness and fitness of their
funerals as has their fine artistic in
stinct. They are as nation even
prouder and more studious, think,
of their courtesy than of their artistic
excellence. "Cry; it will do you
good" i said once toa poor japanese
woman, who, cro,ching beside her
dying husband, was controlling her
self with an effort that would, /
feared, make her i'll. She laid her
little, slim, brown finger upon her
trembling red lip and shook her head,
then whispered: 1T might disturb
him" "Cry; it will do you good!" I
said the next day when the man was
dead, and she seemed almost pros

gelf-control. at would be most rude

Royalty nj WorE

Royal ladies are the busiest in the
world. AS rule they are early risers,
and have managed to accomplish vast
amount of reading and writing before
the ordinary society woman is up.
Queen Victoria is familiar with at least
half dozen European languages, and
even at her present age does not feel
that she has finished her education, but
grapples daily with the difficulties of
Hindustani. Empress Frederick of Ger
many still pursues the study of music
and painting with the zeal of a young
girl; and the younger empress, her
daughter-in-law, besides looking after
her house and children, rises early to
copy important documents for the en-
peror. The Belgian queen and Austrian
empress in former days employed their
leisure in the study of Greek and in
"breaking in" pet ponies. The dowager
empress of Russia and the princess Of
Wales have tastes in common; both are
adeptsa at millinery and thorough house.

and are accomplished, useful and SEN

WOMAN'S IMPULSlvENESS.
1t often Proves to Be Responsible for
Her Mistakes.

If thoughtful woman were asked:
"What is the greater curse of your
sex?" she might we'll answer: I'm
pulse" 1t is responsible for almost all
the mistakes made by the good-hearted
among us. May it not be safely said
that few minutes thought before
speech or action would prevent most
fatal blunders? Many of us are in
positive bondage to our bird-like quick
ness to feel, to show our feeling, TO re-
tort, or to respond. If we are hurt we
must Immediately "give ourselves
away" as the phrase runs, if not by Bit
ter speech, at least by look and manner;
yet reflection frequently brings the
keenest regret for the lost dignity, the
betrayed secret. Many a one has
wrecked her own happiness for the
want of the patient stoicism which
would have led her to stand aside for
awhile watching events until they
brought with them her opportunities.
Even when we are happy it is not al
ways we'll to let the bright stream bear
us away rudderless. The impulsive
manifestations of affection, the hasty
proposal of marriage, the hastier ac-
ceptance-have they never proved the
beginnings of misery? Or has rash
word never sundered true lovers, true
friends? If these things are true ii is
likewise true that the fault in the COM
mencement has been that of feminine
impulsiveness. The defect is a gen.
erous one, and, therefore, commoner
with us than it is with men, so that 1t
handicaps us unfairly in the struggle Of
life. And truly it is a weary task to be
always with host of pretty maxims
preaching down" ones heart. But we
must do it; either we must rule feeling
or feeling will rule us. 1t is n good
servant, but bad master. Our loving
women's hearts are like the fire of the
domestic hearth-the light of the home
when duly controlled warming the
whole house, but if the fire be not kept
in its subordinate place what con-
dagration ensues!-N. Y. Commercial

MULE HOOP HOG.
Razorbncks Not n Marker to 1t in In

RazOrbacks Not n Marker to 1t In In.
telliEencc.
There is a farmer living near Syl-
vania who has propagated a new kind OF
vineless potato, which is all the talk
around here now. The potato, so his
neighbors say, grows entirely UNDER
ground, and requires no cultivation
whatever. He also raises a crop Of hay
on the same ground and at the same
time the potatoes are growing, neither
crop requiring any work.
The question, of course, arises: How
can the potatoes be gathered when
there are no vines to show where they
are growing? This difficulty the farm
err overcomes in a remarkable manner.
He has an old sow, of the mule-hoof
variety, that he has run out of his fields
so often that She squeals every time
he starts after her. When he wants a
mess of potatoes he takes his rocking
chair and basket to the patch and turns
the SOW in. He then makes himself
comfortable in the chair, while the sow
begins to root. AS soon as a potato is
found she seizes it in her mouth and
iudhcS uIedh 10 BeC away. rTOm
force of habit, however, she squeals
when she starts, and, this causing her
to open her mouth, the potato drops.
The farmer, as soon as he hears squeal,
hastens at once to the spot, picks up the
potato and puts it in his basket. He
then composes himself in the chair I'M
til he hears another squeal, and so on
until the basket is filled. He never gives
the sow as much as she wants to eat,
SO that she is always hungry and in good
roofing trim.
The mule-hoof hogs are wonderfully
bright, and can be trained almost like q
pointer dog. The seed of the vineless
potato will, of course, be in great de-
mand when it becomes better known,
but as it will be useless without the hog
the farmer is raising both for market,
and intends to throw in a young mule
hoof rnoter with every bushel of Do
tatoes that he sells.-Savannah (Ga.)

brother; nor was he animated by the
same personal interest in the herds
welfare.
1t was three o'clock when the broth
ers met again.
"Say, Theo," were Paups words us
he rode closely to his companion, I'm
awful thirsty. 1 wish you'd ride over
to the house and bring out a can of
water. The cattle are little quieter
now, and I'll watch for both of u.s."
Without word Theo was off, glad
of a respite, and enjoying the brisk can
ter to which he spurred his willing
pony.
Nor did he lessen his pace on his re-
turn. Racing swiftly along he ap-
preached Paul and the herd, carrying
the can of water and thrilled by the
exercise of the half-mile ride.
AS he drew near the pony braced itself
for the sudden stopping; but before
the halt came there was an accident.
Into one of the numerous gopher holes,
which dot the prairies of the west,
went one of his horses forefeet.
In an instant Theo was hurled head
long from the deep-seated saddle and
went, as did the pony, rolling on the
sod. The water can broke as it fell, and
the clink of its smashing could be heard
for long way.
Paul heard it, and pressing the spur
to his pony's flank, hurried toward the
victims of the mishap. But that was
not all. Before Theo and his horse
had regained their feet, each bruised
and limping, every grazing steer had
lifted it's branching-horned head and
was staring at the unwonted spectacle.
Then, as if moved by common i'm
pulse, every animal took few steps
away. A loud below from some of the
more powerful ones followed, and the
walk of the herd became a trot. The
alarm increased as they moved-the
trot was canter-the canter run;
and by the time Paul had turned from
inspecting the fallen boy and horse the
dreaded stampede was in progress.
The young mans face grew white,
even through the generous coat Of run
