Poultrymen who make the raising
Of ducks specially, and who have
advanced ideas, are reaping q harvest
just now from the demand for "green
ducks" as table delicacy. The
green duck is simply o duckling not
over two months old, nor less than
four pounds in weight, that has never
seen water-to swim in, at least. They
are the product of the incubators and
brooders, and are made ready for
market by system Of forced growth
and fattening, which is the secret of
the half dozen firms producing them
by the thousand for tho markets of
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
Green ducks, after leading their
wholly artificial life, leave it for tho
table, with flavor all their own.
They are probably the most profitable
development Of the poultry trade, for
the supply has never yet equaled tho
demand.

Ex-Mayor Abram s. Hewitt, of New
York, regards Sir Henry Bessemer as
one of the greatest Of the world bene-
factors. In speaking of a rich man,
relation to the general community, ct
the recent informal opening exercises
at D. 0. Mills's model hotel for poor
men in New York City, Mr.. Hewitt
alluded to Mr.. Bessemer as an instance
Of man who might enrich himself
and yet receive only an infnitesimal
port Of the wealth derived from his
own genius and work. Mr.. Bessemer
Invented q process of making steel
which reduced by 500 per cent. the
previous cost Of manufacturing that
metal. "Mr. Bessemer is worth, per.
haps, ten millions Of dollars" sold
Mr.. Hewitt. '"That, of course, is
away above the average of individual
requirement, but it is only a small
part Of the wealth which Mr.. Besse.
mer's invention has conferred upon
man, directly and indirectly. I think
it o conservative estimate to put the
money value Of Bessemer's contribu.
ton to the world at large at not less
than 81, 900, 100000. A railroad man
like Mr.. Depew can appreciate the
vast saving which this single inven.
ton of steel making has brought
about" The ex-Mayor said it was
not true that the great mass of wealth
was concentrated in few hands. Hl
had investigated the subject sufficient
~ to satisfy himself that but com.
paratively small part Of the worlds
wealth is held by so-called million.

than 1000 persons in this country
who are worth million or more. The
average wealth Of the people of the

Aud fields ablaze the autumn came.
You sing as If the dying year
'Iad yet year Of Joy to live,
AS II the world were never drear
60 robin, she will not forgiveD.
O robin, calling, calling still
co robin, she has smiled on meD,
Trill, trill and coll, and call and ,ril],
Fill full the air with melody.
Tho roses never doomed so fair,
June never wore so dear grace
60 robin, calling everywhere,
She meets me ct the trysting-placeD.

Michael G.. Mulhall, tho celebrated
English statistician, in the North Amer
lean Review writes: It appears that
as regards quantity three Americans
now export as much as five did twenty
years ago, which suffices to show how
groundless are the predictions Of some
writer's who tell us that as population
increases so the surplus products for
expectation must diminish. In the
last twenty years population has risen
from forty-fve to seventy-one million
souls, On increase Of fifty~eight per
cent, and at the same time the weight
Of exports has risen It's per cent. :;
that is, three times as fast as popula.
ton. The quantities of food yearly
exported are sufficient to feed 100000.
600 persons in Europe, from which it
appears that American farms raise food
for 1O0,OO0,OO0 people yearly. The
Western prairies are capable Of carry.
Ing double the present number Of live
stock, and producing ten times as
much grain as they do, SO that, for at
least century to come, there is every
probability that the expectation Of
food will increase with population.
The Same is true as regards cotton,
the crop having risen 125 per cent. in
twenty years. The world is only be-
ginning to have evidence of the enor.

RECONCILIATION,

o robin, calling to your mate
60 robin. she has bid me goD,
Why sing 80 loud and sing SO late?
The days of song were long ago.
The thrush waits till the spring has como
To sing the song he sang OF yore;
Chill autumn strikes his rapture dumb
Co robin, we shall meet no more).
O robin, calling from the oak
60 robin, she was all to meD,
Gray mists like moyeless pail OF smoke
Hide all the woodland and the leo.
hear the dead leaves patteriDg,
I hear the whisper Of the rain.
But most hear the songs you sing
60 robin, must love in vainD.
