NESTING WOOD DUCKS.

The Courtship Period Is Followed
 by . Very PrOsnic Married Life.
 When pair of wood ducks find VI ter and hollow tree to suit, little time is lost in preparing the nest. This task and the covering of the eggs are performed by the female, for, to the best of my knowledge, the male does little more than sit around on handy limbs and look pretty. During the period of nest building and while the duck is laying he is the beau ideal of a handsome and loving cavalier, ever at tentive and seemingly most anxious as to her whereabouts should she happen to get out of his sight. But with the waning of the honeymoon he seems to feel rather bored with the whole busi- ness, and gradually he gets clubby-i. e., wanders from his own fireside and hunts up another drake or two to help him loaf away the summer. The busy little duck keeps her own counsel and ''sits tight' on the dozen or more highly polished ivorylike eggs crowded to- gether in bed of soft decayed wood and down from her breast.
 Quite frequently the nest is at the bottom of a hollow several feet deep, and no doubt the strong, hooked claws of the wood duck are special pro- vision f0x the oft repeated climbing out of the hollow.-Edwyn Sandys in Out ing

A Witty Reply.

Whenever the United States supreme court, on hearing the argument ot counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely satisfied that he has no case, the chief justice is apt to say to counsel for de. fendant in error that the court does not care to hear further argument. At one time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from Wisconsin was counsel for plaintt sin error and opened the cafk Before he was through the court was satisfied that there was nothing in it, and 50 when he had concluded and counsel for defendant in error arose Chief Jus tice Waite said, '"The court does not care to hear any further argument"
 Counsel was little deaf and, al- though noticing that the chief justice spoke, did not hear what he had said and, turning to Mir. Carpenter, who sat beside him. asked what had been said.
 "Oh, hang itw replied Carpenter in tones audible to the bench. '"The chief justice said he would rather give you the case than hear you talk" k."-Youth's COmDaniOn

Faithful to the Last.

In many Scotch families the old man. servant is a permanent institution. He enters the service of family when he is boy, sticks to his place and re- signs only when the infrmities of age are upon him. Naturally he grows in time to claim as rights what were at first granted him as favors and if he is opposed asserts himself with a spirit of independence. An English paper tells story illustrative of this. A lady's coachman, crusty old fel- low, who had been in the service of the family ill her fathers time, gave her great trouble and annoyance on several occasions by not carrying out her instructions. At length his conduct became; unbearable, and she determin- ed to- dismiss him. Calling him into her presence, she said with as much asperity as she could commando:
 ''I cannot stand this any longer, John. You must look out for another situa- tiOn. You will leave my service at the end of the month."
 The old servant looked at her in amusement for minute, and then the characteristic loyalty came to the surface

He Was the Sanest, Coolest Soldier
 In Washfngton's Army.
 John R. Spears in Harper's demon strates that General Wayne, commonly known as. Mad Anthony was in reality the sanest, coolest soldier in Washington's army.
 saThey called the hero of Stony Point and the Maumee rapids Mad Anthony Wayne says MT. Spears 'sThe title was originated by an Irish soldier whc had been confined in the guardhouse at the order of the general, and it was taken up by the people because of the wild enthusiasm and determination with which Wayne led his men when the supreme moment of battle came But observe that when the war of the Revolution impended he sransacked his, tory for accounts of battles that he might learn military tactics, and he gave his days to the training of his neighbors. At Stony Point he led his men in spite of his wound, but in pre- pairing for the battle he appealed to the pride of his men by parading them clean shaved and with hair we'll pow. dered,' while the prelaid plans includ. ed even the slaughter of the dogs, that no yelp should betray the approach ot the assa ulting host. When in Virginia, he charged the hosts of Cornwallis with only 800 men to back him; when in Ohio, where the honor of the nation and the integrity of it's territory were col4c:itted to his care, he took legior of boys and miscreants' gathered from the slums and trained them until their skill with the musket equaled, if it did not surpass, that of the most noted backwoods Indian fighters.
 Mad Anthony Wayne as a leader in battle was unsurpassed, but ii should also be remembered that his record as drill master is unequaled."

walters Who Get Most Tips.

Walters who receive the most tips, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, are usu- ally those who have everlasting and Job-like patience, those who do not easily take an insult, who ever have pleasant smile for their patrons, who try earnestly to please them and are always ready to accommodate every one. A waiter should never place him. self in position of expectancy in the matter of receiving tip and should avoid approaching guest if he sees him in the act of drawing change from his pocket. A waiter should never pose as an object of pity with view to se- curing tip. If he deserves a tip, he should let the guest feel within himself that he deserves it, and if the guest wishes to give him tip he will usually manage to catch the walters attention or leave the tip beside the plate. Should the waiter receive tip previous to waiting on the guest, he should leave it Lying on the table and then do his level best to earn it.

The superior court was in session in Rockville on Tuesday to hear evidence on the petition of Attorney Yeomans for a writ of mandanus ordering the moder- ator and -eeunters,a at the last town cleo ton of Andover to declare that the town voted for license, instead of no-license, as recorded by the officials on election day. Attorney Yeomans' contention was that thirty-two ballots were cast for license and two yellow and 52 white against II cense. The majority of the counters ba lieved that the white ballots should be counted, and so counted them. Mr. Yeo mans contended that the white ballots were illegal and should not have been counted, as only the yellow ballots were legal ones. Attorney General Charles Phelps appeared for the defendants. Judge Elmer reserved his decision.
 Judge Elmer has denied the motion to have the case of Watts' appeal fromthe county commissioners erased from the do :ket.
