A LONE WILD DUCK.
Makes Herself at Home in thu City
- 4. ~. "a % oAia 1915 NJ " 49,.

MAKES Herself at Home in tho CITY
Of Rochester, N. Y.
A lone wild duck, fat and sleek
from choice feeding, has made her
home in the bed Of the Genesee river,
in the heart Of Rochester, between
high manufacturing buildings, whose
chimneys pour out black clouds Of
smoke and whose machinery %rattles
and roars with alarming disturbance.
But the little duck does not mind it
a bit, says the New York Tribune,
and calmly floats on the bosom Of the
rivers current, paddles industriously
against the breaking rapids, dives,
stands on herhead, waddles, along the
rocks, and disports herself as if3the
busy center of a large city were the
heart Of the wild woods.
The duck made her appearance
here soon after the ice broke up in
the river this spring, but did not de-
eide on exactly what spottomake her
home. This took her away for days
at a time, but as soon as the weather
cleared and the sun began to shine
warm she chose a spot for her nest,
and is now the center Of attraction
for hundreds of persons as she swings
in and out with the current on her
search for food between the tall brick
and stone structures which line the
rivers banks hardly a stones throw
from the -Four Corners, which Is the
business heart Of the city. Her nest
is under the great arches ofthe Erie
canal aqueduct, and there she will
raise her brood Of young ones.
The strange sight of this brave
bird thus adapting herself to the at
mosphereso OF civilization has attracted
a great deal Of attention, and business
men on their way to their Offices, OF
while returning from luncheon, go
out ofgtheir way to have a look at the
duck. She has already become a
source Of municipal pride, like the
upper and lower falls and the elevated
tracks, and strangers are taken
around to watch her by their hosts.
The common salutation is, SGood.

pears utterly unconscious Of the inn
mense amount.of attraction and pop
ularity she is winning, and goes about
her businessaffairs with nonchalance
and application. If any n should
attempt to harm her, either BY shoot
ing or stone throwing, it would go
hard with him. The police watch out
for her welfare with untiring vigi-
lance, and the river crossings were
never better patrolled than since she
put in her appearance. Naturalists
say that she belongs to one of tho
diving species, and express much
curiosity regarding her choice Ct

STOVES ARE STILL SOLD.
They Have by No Means Been Forced
Out of Use by Modern Steam
and asSHe

II dare say said a stove dealer to
q New York Sun man. shat there's
quite a bunch of young people, born
and raised in this city, that never saw,
coal-bu.ning stove. They have lived
so far in their lives in houses and fats
heated by steam in which the cooking
is done with gas ranges.
Tor all ,hey knew, stoves haveg gone
wholly out ofu&e. But as a matter Of
fact they have not gone out by any
nannefio OF ~ ans.
There is IN New York what you
might call@a tsaanheatrbclt, i'll which
practically al apartment houses are
heated by steam, and where the parlor
stove is a ling q the past-unknown.
And IN this belt thecoals stove or range
IN tho Kitchen is giving way more and
more before the gas range. But even
in This belt youwonld come across now
and tEcn q fat not8steam heated, and
YOU vii find plenty Of fats that still
have coal ranges.
and outside of this steamhest belt
there are still districts right here in
the city in which the stove still pre-
walls, where people still buy and use
their own stoves, kitchen and parlor,
too.
AS to smaller cities, the proportion
Of stoves yefnsed is greater tlansit is
here. Indeed, in the great majority OF
homes in them you would still find
mother cooking her crullers,o on a coal
burning kitchen stove and the children
popping corn in the stove in the par.
