INDIAN RUNNING DUCK.
A Hardy Breed Which Responds Readily to Good Feeding nnd
 Little Care.

The Indian running duck is wha6 might be called an all-around practical duck, says Walter E. Delano, in the American Poultry Journal. The gen. eral makeup of these ducks seems to be unlike many others, inasmuch as they have so many points in their fa- vor.
 First, the color and plumage are very attractive, being of a fawn color mixed with white, the drakes having steel blue cap, with distinct white line run- ming from the eye around the back of the head to the eye opposite, the pure white neck, the fawn colored breast and back, tapering off with white in wing flights and tail They are strong and erect, alert in every motion and very hardy.
 Second, their laying qualities are such that they have been called ana are known to-day as the Leghorn or the duck family. One breeder claims for one individual duck record of l92 eggs per year.
 It is very fascinating for one to col- feet eggs from these ducks after once starting to lay, and they general y start in with me in February. It IS a common occurrence to bring ln Just as many eggs IS there are ducks.
 Third, as a market duck, they grow very rapidly, and while they consume
 h less food in proportion than the n, at ten weeks old will dress ten DO Ids to the pair. and in comparing the pair find the runner smaller boned, but heavier meated.
 Success with these ducks, like every thing else, depends solely on feed and care. In the center of an acre lot ad- joining my place is a pond fed by springs about 100 feet across. On the shore of this pond is my duck house. where the ducks are wintered. In the breeding season l select my breed- CTS, putting one drake with every five ducks, and as soon as the ice is out or the pond the ducks are allowed the use of it through the day, but are called into their house for supper at night, thus making it easy to collect the eggs in the morning.
 One of the most essential things in raising ducks is that they have dry quarters to sleep in and pure air to breathe. Little attention need be given to making tight houses as long as they are kept dry at night. They will stand some very cold weather. For their bedding l use plenty of lawn clippings and clover hay, and it is surprising to seehow much a flock of 50 will consume through the winter.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

There are no lice on incubator and brooder chicks. This is one advantage in artificial rearing.
 Throw the grit for the ducks in their drinking water. They like to fish for it. Just watch them go for water and this grit while feeding.
 A little charred corn twice a week will help to keep the combs of the hens red and the plumage glossy. This means plenty of eggs.
 Many a case of cold in the head and incipient roup is due to winds striking the fowls at night on the perches. Look out for your fowls.
 The young broods should be shell tered from the spring winds. The coops should be inside of open sheds, or be protected by buildings, fences or wind- breaks of corn fodder.
 A correspondent writes in the Farm Journal that his business is fruit, poul- try, truck and dairying. This is a splendid combination of industries. The poultry can make meat and eggs out of the waste of the other three. But he must have his hanIs full ot work.

THE NEW COMMANDMENT.
How MT. HailfelIOw Turned n Trying Situation Into the Triumph
 of His Life.

Mrs. Overnice had for her guest last autumn pretty Miss Fairlady, mod est, educated, highly cultured, but all together lovable girl, such as any we'll regulated young man who is not "oth- erwise engaged" ought to fall in love with without delay.
 Henry Hailfellow became acquainted with her, and fell into the habit of calling atthe Overnice home rather too often to suit the taste of proud Mime. Overnice. That is to say, he called too often with the avowed purpose of pay ing his respects to Miss Fairlady; for, it should be known, Mrs. Overnice had a daughter whom she had taken infinite pains to train up in the way that she should go, and she had no objections to her taking the matrimonial route, under favorable auspices, and was not at all sure but that Hailfellow was himself favorable auspice.
 So it became all too apparent for the comfort of any of the young people about the house that Mrs. Overnice

Plant with MagnetIc pover

There has been discovered in the for ests of India a strange plant which possesses astonishing magnetic pow CT. The hand which breaks leaf from it immediately receives a shock equal to that which is produced by the con. ductor of an induction coil. At dis tance of 20 feet magnetic needle is affected by it, and it.will be quite de- ranged if brought near. The energy of this singular influence varies with the hours of the day. All-powerful about two o'clock in the afternoon, it is absolutely annulled during the night. At times of storm its intensity augments to striking proportions. Birds and insects never alight on this plant; an instinct seems to warn them that they would find their sudden death. None of the magnetic metals are found where it grows, which is a proof that the electric force belongs exclusively to the plant.

A1exandra's Perfumed Clothes.

Queen AleXandra's laces, linens and silks are perfumed by method which almost any woman can copy. The drawers in which they are kept are lined with white paper strewn with freshly covered rose petals. On this is placed a layer of the fabrics to be scent ed, over that layer of rose leaves, and so on in attenuation until the draw CT is filled. Over all a sheet of tissue paper is spread. At the end of A hours everything in the drawer will have a delicate perfume that will cling to it for long time. Perfumes are be- lieved to make clothes and linen much more wholesome. Flowers and certain prepared perfumes have excellent medicinal qualities.

 The wagon and machine shed is 10x 30, shedded against one side of the crib. Balloon frame, sided with hard pine and roofed with felt, the slope not being sufficient for slate. A cis- tern occupies one corner, while all the rest is available for storing farm implements. A small door is in one end while the other is full width door hung on rollers, the end of the crib making a place for the track. The oistern while not really necessary is a very convenient place to store water for dry time or for use in washing the express wagon or buggy. Do not build the wagon-shed too small, as no mat ter how large it is it is nearly always filled to running over.
 As the above building was erected before l bought the farm, l cannot give the exact cost of same. But know ing the cost of lumber and other mate rial in his neighborhood, your in quirer can figure the cost for himself. A. k. Swayne, in Ohio Farmer.

MRS. POTTER PALMER.
Chicago's Recognized Society Leader Says That City Will Always Re
 Her Real Home.

Mrs. Potter Palmer has been pre- vailed upon by her friends to remain in Chicago. Recently it was reported that Chicago's famous leader of so- ciety would leave that city and make her home elsewhere. Her friends inn mediately began to importune her to remain and their efforts have been sue cessful.
 T shall remain in Chicago" said Mrs. Palmer to a Chicago American re- porter. ''I have always been loyal to this city and 1 shall not desert it for any other.
 "Of course I shall spend time in other cities. I shall doubtless go abroad again when my period of mourning is over and shall possibly visit various points in the east when the season is on. But as for leaving Chicago perma- nently, I do not intend to do so."
 In the beautiful mansion on Lake Shore drive Mrs. Palmer spends un- eventful days and quiet evenings in the companionship of her sons and a few intimate friends. She is doing nothing in the way of entertaining and avoids participating in social affairs.

pigeons the better. Do not keep too much food lying around, as the birds grow lazy.
 Keep fresh water handy to drink and bathe in. Pigeons that are housed the year around are liable to disease and lice. Sprinkle their nests occa- sionally with little powdered sulphur and whitewash the house frequently. Squabs are ready for market after they are feathered out. Homers are among the best for squab raising. They are quick growers, vigorous, ac- tive, strong feeders, and their plump ness makes them attractive in market. The stronger and larger the hen pigeon the better results will be ob- tained.-Orange Judd Farmer.

FELL IN LOVE WITHOUT DELAY.

| looked with marked disfavor upon the attentions of MT. Hailfellow to Miss Fairlady. Sad to relate, that led these l two young souls, who were rather fond of communion with each other, free from foreign intervention, to seek tke l protection, now and then, of subter- | fuge-not to say deceit.
 One particularly bright and beauti- l full Sunday Hailfellow called at tLe Overnice residence just the regulation time before church. He and Miss Fair lady started away, as if of course they were going to the most approved place of worship in the city. But they were not, unless worshiping nature in her most attractive temple is the approved worship.
 They went off for long, delightful stroll into the suburbs. And they artfully returned just about the time they would naturally be expected back from church.
 Probably no suspicion would have rested upon them had not the harum- scarum Hailfellow remained at the house so long that Mrs. Overnice was compelled to invite him to remain for luncheon, which he promptly consent ed to do. Something in his manner ex- cited the dame's suspicion, and at the | table she commenced to examine the witness.

 'That was very nice. I would rather enjoy that kind of music myself. By the way, what was the text, MT. Hail | fellow?"
 "A new commandment I give unto | you, that ye love one another" | There was a "chorus" of smiles from the other members of the party, and Mrs. Overnice subsided.-N. Y. Times.

 q have not purchased a home in Paris" said Mrs. Palmer, "nor have I made arrangements to purchase one. I cannot see why the idea should pre- vail that people who happen to have op- portunities to live elsewhere must nee essarily wish to desert this city. The presumption is certainly uncompli- mentary to Chicago. For my part, have no such desire. My wish is to call Chicago my home now and in the fu- ture."
 During her hours of quiet in the si- lent house Mrs. Palmer bestows her attention upon reading and study.
 She gladly lends herself to pursuits that shall prove agreeable to her sons, and it is her pleasure to be true com panion to them. The evenings are de- voted often to readings from the poets and great masters of literature or to some quiet amusements.
