sations; but of all the things which
came to my notice, PhorenIce's man
ner of summoning the guests to her
feast surprised me most. Nay, it did
more; it shocked me profoundly; and
cannot say whether amazement at
her profanity, or wonder at her pow
er, was for the moment strongest in
my breast. | sat in my chamber
awaiting the summons, when gradu-
ally, growing out of nothing, a sound
fell upon my ear which increased in
volume with infinitely small grada-
tons, till at last it became a clang-
ing din which hurt the ear with it's
fierceness; and then Il guessed what
was coming) the whole massive fab
ric of the pyramid trembled and
groaned and shook, as though it had
been merely a childs wooden toy
brushed about by strong mans san
dal
1t was the portent served out year
ly by the chiefs of the Priests clan on
the Sacred Mountain, when they bade
all the world take count of their sins.
1t was the sacred reminder that from
roaring, raging fire, and from the
agony of monstrous earth tremors,
man had been born, and that by these
same agencies he would eventually be
swallowed up-he and the sins within
his breast. And here the empress was
prostituting its solemnities into a
mere call to gluttony, and sign for
ribald laughter and sensuous display.
1t was with very undecided feel
ings, then, that [ obeyed the sum-
mons of the earth shaking, and babe
the slaves lead me through the wind
ings of the pyramid to the great ban
quoting hall. The scene there was
dazzling. The majestic chamber with
its marvellous carvings was filed with
company decked out with all the
gauds and colors that fancy could
conceive. Little rocked they of the
solemn portent which had summoned
them to the meal, of the death and
misery that stallled openly through
the city wards without, of the rebels
which lay in Lacquer beyond the walls,
of the neglected gods and their clan
of priests on the Sacred Mountain
They were all gluttonoHs for the pas
sions of the moment; it was their
fashion and conceit to look at moth
ing beyond.
Flaming jets of earth breath lit the
great hall to the brightness of mid
day; and when l stepped out upon the
pa selne1t, trumpets blared, SO that
all might know of my coming. But
there was no roar of welcome. '.Deuc-

a LIFE THOUGHT.

Re member the Burden, the Duty, the
Lessen of each Day"
Life is to do the will of God"
Life, wondrous, changing, feeting! an,
wherefore is 1t ours,
With all its solemn mysteries and varied
wealth of powers?
These hearts that beat so wildly, that
thrill with joy and pain,
Those souls with restless Iongings the far
cf to attain
List 10 the sweet sure answer from out our
Fathers Word,
Life has this holy service: ITO do the will
of God
For every earnest spirit seeking the heav-
enly way,
A Burden, Duty, Lesson come with each
passing day.
The Burden some times heavy, weighed
Gown with cares and fears
Calls from our souls and others, ofttimes
with falling tears;
Yet borne with faith and patience, still
struggling bravery on,
And looking ever upward, the victory shall
be won.
The golden light of morning shines DER the
Weakened earth,
And with each passing moment Duty has
its birth
To spsak sweet words 0f kindness, to strive
by acts Of love
To make the ear th-home happy, glimpse
of home above,
Well to improve the talents our Father has
bestowed,
Ana walk in His dear footsteps, whose life
was doing good.
The shades of evening gather soft as a
spirits tread,
Amid the tender cleaning our thoughts
are backward led;
The DaV has taught-itS Lesson, the soul
in silence reads
The lines of loving kindness whittier our
Father leads;
And thus the wondrous teachings of Life's
mysterious way
Lead to the open vision Of Heavens clear
shining day.

MANAGEMENT OF DUCKS.
The Man Who Expects to Make Pc
ISins Pay Must Take Excellent
Care of Them.

1t is not absolutely necessary to
have so warm q house for Pekin ducks
as for fowls, but ii pays best to have
good comfortable house for them,
as will be shown presently. When
properly cared for, ducks begin to lay
during the winter months; those that
are Matched quite early in the spring
may lay in December. We should pre-
fer ducks in their second year for
breeders, or at least very cary
Matched ones, SO they might be almost
or quite one year old before eggs from
them are used for Matching. Duck
lings do better that are Matched from
eggs that are laid by mature ducks.
Ducks can be plucked during wal m
weather, just prior to beginning to
moult; then all the blood has gone
from the quill of the feather, and but
little pain is given by pluclling them
at that time.
Ducks sit about on the ground; they
do not roost like fowls. 1t is their

sell of this place was a man greatly to
be pitied.
He tired out with the slightest exer-

could do for him he was growing grad

icines and treatments without benefit,
but recently he read in newspaper
about Dodd's Kidney Pills and these
helped him from the very first dose.
He took several boxes before he was
completely cured but now he is well
and strong as ever he was and feels
very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills

the ultimate solution OF the South

all looking as a justification for the
