Those Dull Ducks,

I recall Mr.. Lowell telling. loosely,
in an after dinner speech in Cambridge
how he met an acquaintance (of dubi-
Gus standing) whose cheerful face and
happy demeanor led him to ask the
cause of such eXuberant felicity.
why" said the genial smilcr, 'T've
discovered n way to make my fortune.
We all know. that the reason for the
fine flavor of the wild duck is the wild
celery on which it feeds. Now, pro.
pose to feed it to the domestic duck and
supply the market"
Some weeks later, on meeting his ac.
quaintance again. Mr.. Lowell found
him quite depressed and inconsolable.
why are you looking so unhappy? I
thought the last time ! saw you that
you We're on the point of making your
fortuns with ducks. Wouldn't II

sketch boldly and leave much of the
unnecessary detail to our slower 'cous-

pen with such startling rapldity that a

aail Fences and Dugout Canoes Sur
vive Civilixation's March.
One Of the remarkable features Of
country life in America is the singular
persistence of the rail fence and the
dugout canoe. No matter how thickly
settled section may become or how
long it may have been settled, these
two survivors Of early settlement linger
on as stubbornly as ever Today in the
thickest settled parts Of New England
and New York the rail fence is met
with, while the shad fishermen Of the
Potomac and James rivers and Chesa-
peake bay, on the banks Of which the
first English settlements in America
were established still manufacture and
the rounds of their sbad nets.
The dugout canoe is the simplest and
most primitive water craft known and
was used by prehistoric man, both in
this country, Europe and Asia. 1t is
made out of log Of wood by trimming
the outside down to the proper proper
tions of a boat and by digging out"
the inside with an adj and by the aid
of fire. The Potomac river dugout is to.
day pretty much the same as 1t was
in the days Of Powhntan and differs
from the general run of dugout canoes
in the absence of curved bow and
stern and in having rather high sides,
which rise TO summit from either
end of the boat, being highest In the
middle, where the seat is placed

Among birds the swan lives to be
the oldest. in extreme cases reaching
600 years. The falcon has been known
to 1.-Two 162 years. An eagle died in 1910
which had been caught 104 years be-
fore and was then quite old. A white
headed vulttire. which was caught in
1T06, died in the aviary at Schonbrun,
near Vienna, in 1924. Parrots live more
than century. Water birds have n
long life. exceeding that of several gen.
erations of men. Ravens also live over
hundred years.
In captivity magpies live from twen-
ty to twenty-five years, and still longer
in freedom. The common hen attains
the age of from fifteen to twenty years.
Doves live ten years and the little sing
ing birds from eight to seventeen years.
The nightingale's life is the shortest
ten years being the longest. and next
comes the blackbird, which never lives
longer than fifteen years.

The principal of a certain high school
tells n Joke on himself with much en-.
Joyment. One day during an exami.

though the problem was comparatively
easy, he could not answer 1t. The prin.

point.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

and asserted that capital picture of
himself was ON view in a small shop

the friend, "but it may have resembled
you some years ago. Go and look at
IT,"
Mr.. Firth went and found his own
image after an estrangement of forty
five years. He determined to buy it,
though he had not the faintest recollec.
ton of having painted it. "Ah. por-
trait!" said Firth to the woman in
charge of the shop after he had pre-
tended to examine several other works.
"Whose likeness is that?" "That," said
the lady, "is portrait Of the celebrat-
ed artist, Firth, painted by himself"
