THE ELDER DUCK.
""-- the Bird with the
FHm0us Down.


Famous Dow.
The common elder duck OF the -.
lantic and Arctic coasts IS usually
about twenty-six inches in length; its
plumage is chiefly white, but its tail,
its quilts and the stripes above its
eyes are black. Eiderdown is much
valued for its superior warmth, light
ness and elasticity. and the elder duck.
from which the down is obtained, is
from a commercial standpoint a very
valuable fowl, says the Philadelphia
Times. On and about the shores Of
Scandinavia elder ducks are found in
great numbers and are strictly pro-
tected by law. Many landowners have
colonies of these ducks and get profit
able returns from the down they yield,
AS a rule, the elder is a very shy,
wary bird, but at times the female
gets In very friendly mood, ventures
quite close to inhabited houses. and
even accepts help in gathering mate
rial with which to build her nest Her
mate, however. is never on friendly
terms with people, and keeps away
from lneln. he eller constructs her
nest, for the most part, of twigs. and
puts them together in rough way,
but it is made comfortable for her
young by being we'll lined with a thick
mass Of down plucked by the mother
from her own breast The nest lining
is the celebrated eiderdown of COM
merce, and while it is perfectly fresh
and clean it is torn from the nest and
sold. Finding her home thus rudely
destroyed, the mother elder flies out to
sea, joins her mate and remains away
for a long time. But she finally re-
turns and constructs a second nest,
which she lines just as carefully as
she did the first one. 1t is said that
for this second nest the mother duck
plucks this lining from the breast Of
her mate. although he stoutly pro-
tests against such rough usage. She
is permitted to dwell in peace and
safety in her second nest, for if fright
ened away a second time she seldom
returns. In due time five or six eggs
are laid in the nest and later on five
or six baby elders occupy their snug,
downy home.

FRANCE. PAST AND PRESENT.
She Was Very Rich In the Days OF


Compared with most of her neigh
bors. France was a rich state in the
days Of Louis XIV, says the National
Review. Her share Of the aggregate
wealth of the great powers was pos
sibly even larger than her percentage
OF the aggregate population. She nao
only one serious competitor-nameiy
England. Germany and Italy were
as poor as they were politically weak
Russia. in an economic sense. was yet
unborn. At a moderate estimate,more
than half of the wealth Of Europe was
concentrated in the two states-EnS-
land and France. But it is now lar
more widely distributed. Nine or ten
years ago an estimate was made OF the
accumulated wealth of Europe by the
chief of the statistical bureau OF the
French ministry of finance. He work
ed out magnificent total of 1000 mil
lizards OF francs, each milliard being
equivalent to c 40, 900, 900 sterling. To
the six great powers he assigned about
ninetenths of the whole, or 900 mil
lizards. Great Britain he placed at the
head Of his list with 250 milliards,
France second with 200 milliards. Ger
many was a bad third with 10 mil
lizards. and Russia a very poor fourth
with ITO milliards. Austria and Italy
brought up the rear with 100 milliards
and 90 miliiards respectively. Even
then France and Germany were be-
lleyed by other authorities TO be near
er each other than NJ. de Folville put
them, but there can be no doubt that
in the interval their relative positions
have changed greatly in favor OF Ger
many. In the past ten years the in
dustrial and financial activity OF the
Germans has in every direction eX-
ceeded that of the French. Assuming
that it has been put moderately profit
able, it must have produced corre-
spending excess Of accumulated
wealth. Russia's progress may have
| been slow compared with Germany,
| but 1t has been rapid compared with
that of France. Austria and Italy not
withstanding all their drawbacks. have
also been gaining ground on the nation
which was formerly the second richest
in Europe

For some time Governor Lind has
been working in opposition to the
methods OF State Grain Inspector Claus
en-. and doing all in his power TO pre-
vent his reappointment by the board,
but to no avail. Mr.. Clausen who has
served the state faithfully and we'll for
the pas, fifteen years received the APP
pontment again. but has since resigned.
giving as his reason that it would be
impossible TO do the work satisfactorily
without the support and cooperation
of the Governor" Mr.. Reishus, who
succeeds Mr.. Clausen. is new at the
business, and receives the appointment
as a reward for political work rather
than for his peculiar fitness for the
work. A great many changes among
the appointees have already been made
and many more will follow. The move
is considered very poor politics on the
part OF the Governor, as this office is
not supposed to be mixed mp il politics.

have come across their path. The New

crowd tonight ought to see contest

for reserved seats Is large and those
who do not wish to be disappointed
ought to secure their tickets at Wells
