Browns and the Drown Duck.

Drown and Kuck and BradsIey went
out to the lake Saturday night and
goodness knows how many rounds Of
ammunition they took, They slept
we'll and the boats were nearly swamp
ed in the morning because Kuck made
the biscuits, regular sinkers. Then
Bardsley remembered how they had
taught him in Sunday school that the
boy who went fishing on that day fell
into the river or got hook stuck into
him so he couldn't sit down and the other
boy had to dig 1t out with a dull pen
knife, and the man who vent hunting
shot leg off his pard or into some4
body's COW and was arrested and fined
$50 or hunted all day ond didn't get
shot at anything but a lame kildee,
And it all came to pass just as Bradsley
said it would. The birds were wild and
1t was difficult to get within gunshot
range of them and the three Of them
were discouraged towards evening with
nary feather when Kuck discovered
at close range the tail end Of a duck
protruding from a bunch Of t1les.
kuck was magnanimous as Drown has
large family and he let him have the
shot. So Drown whanged away and
his aim was SO true the watery bird
scarcely gave kick. And. that was the
only duck they got When Mrs, D.
attempted to clean the duck she found
it must have been dead about week
when Drown shot it-that was. about
the time Messrs Small and Golding
were out there. Drown and Kuck
and BardsIey are very busy now when
you attempt to talk to them about
Sundays trip.

HERoIsM OF ORDINARY LIFE.
don to Honor Brave Deeds Out
side Of Warfare.


Heroism In the battlefield has its
records on the national roll OF honor,
and its memorials that will endure as
long as stone, marble, or brass will last.
But the heroism of ordinary life, the
quiet sacrifice of himself by a working
man TO save his mate" the deliberate
death of a fireman or a policeman in
the discharge of his duty, too often find
no recognition beyond a newspaper
paragraph. Such heroism is all the
more worthy Of commemoration mas
much as it is accomplished without the
stimulus of warfare, the pomp and the
circumstance that help TO inspire
valor. Happily, a movement is on foot
to establish permanent records Of these
acts Of humble bravery. To Mr.. @. +.
Watts-our great symbolic painter-is
due the credit of initiating this scheme,
and he is TO make a beginning with a
series of tablets on the wall of ST. Boz
tolpb's churchyard, Aldersgate, per-
mission TO use the wall for that pur-
pose having been granted by the con-
sistory court some time since.
They will not be frescoes," said Mr..
Watts, In talking about the project,
although that has been stated. They
will be tablets recording in the simplest
and the briefest form the event, name
and date selected for .commemoration.
My idea Is to take some act OF heroism,
some Of the things hat are being done,
[ won't say every day, but every week,
and inscribe this brief record in some
conspicuous place. When ] first sug-
gested TIE scheme-at the time OF the
jubilee, / think-there was the case In
the neigbborboOd Of st. Botolph'h of
the girl Alice Ayres, a servant maid in
an oil shop. which took fire one night
when the master and mistress were out.
Although she could have saved her W
life, she lost It through having ex-
bausted her strength in saving the
lives OF four children.

~GooseherrY sirun.

The secret for making this exception
ally palatable drink even more de-
licious consists in mixing a few rasp-
berries with the afore-named fruit. Let
the fruit be quite but not over ripe.
Allow II pounds of raspberries to ten
pounds of gooseberries. Crush them
! n a mortar, squeeze them with the
hands, strain them in a glazed pan and
let the juice stand in a cold cellar until
a skin or thin crust forms at the top.
This will take about 4s hours. This
operation is necessary for all red and
acid fruit.) Remove the skum, strain
the juice, and to every pint and a half
OF juice allow two and a quarter pounds
OF sugar. Make a strip Of 80 degrees

Antares shine with bright red beams.
II any or all Of these stars have PAN
cts circling around them. as the earth
and other planets revolve around our
sun, the coloring must be brilliant In
deedl In planets revolving around the
double sun we can imagine almost any
thing. One sun might rise In orange,
green or blue, while another set In red
or purple, and at times the two suns
might mingle their beams. a red sun
with a blue sun giving purple light for
part OF the day, or a blue sun and a vel.
low sun giving green light.
Changes have also been noticed In
some of the colored stars; for we have
ancient records Of Sirius being a decid-
ed red. later II was white, while now II
is blush white. Another star, now
blue, changed from red to yellow be-
fore II reached its present color. 1t is
generally believed that 1t Is some con
dition Of the atmosphere around these
stars that causes the coloring; that is,
that a red star has an atmosphere that
absorbs all the rays OF light except the
red rays, a blue atmosphere that abb
serbs all but the blue rays; but how or
why it is so, or why the colors should
sometimes change. we do not know.
We know enough, however, to show us
that more wonderful things exist in the
universe, and more wonderful changes
occur, than we could possibly imagine.

in danger Of being swept into the water

In the feverish endeayor 10 obtain

was first produced In the metropolis
Londoners were astonlshed TO behold
driven through the West end streets
a very swell hanson. in which there
reposed a youth dressed in evening
clothes, and pallld apparently with the
hues OF death. A large blood stain on
his shirt front added TO the horror OF
the picture, but the astonishment pro-
voked by the apparltion was toned
down when the CHASTITY occupant OF the
vehicle suddenly leaned forward and
began scattering handbills announcing
the play with a vlgor hardly TO be ex-
pected In a corpse. This curious dodge,
II may be added, worked like magic,
for II was the talk of the town for many
weeks and attracted thousands to the
theater at which the piece was being
given.
Even more sensational was the fol-
lowing; During the run of u play In
Melbourne, in which play there was a
vivid representation Of n convict pris-

by a gang of men dressed as conyicts.
