This. Duck Carried Car Fare.

Kicker was reading his Sunday
newspapers when he was summoned
to the kitchen by his wife, who was
preparing a duck for dinner. In one
hand she held the gizzard Of the bird
and in the other a steel knife. -.
Il thought you might net believe me
if told you," said Mrs. Kicker, but
look at that gizzard.'
Kicker looked and saw something
shiny. He pulled it out. 1t was a dime
of Uncle Sans currency, worn almost
smooth on enc side and denied as no
milling machine made by human hands
could dent it on the other side,
Through a magnifying glass Kicker
made out the date or this coin as
1898. Since it got hola Of the dime the
ducks gizzard had not been loating.
When the duck was served Kicker
was thoughtful, even morose.
Dimes discovered in ducks seem to
indicate tenderness" remarked Mrs.
Kicker, pleasantly. "This one is de-
Iicious."
Next time" grunted Kicker, i

A Sun ParIor for Baby.

Summing the baby is the latest
thing In baby culture. No household
is too poor to possess n OF these
patent adjustable sun parlors. They
are made Of some kind of hard wood
and built by the carpenter to extend
breyond the window. The top and
sides Of the little platform are COW
cred with glass, and strips of carpet
are laid on the floor to stop up any
cracks there may be. No matter how
fIercely the wind blows or how low
the thermometer may sink the sun
par1or is always ready for the baby.
A pillow is placed or the carpeted
floor, then the baby is warmly dressed
and well covered for its morning or
afternoon nap. Mothers who have
tried this method Of summing the baby
are boasting of the gain in weight
and health and have the proud salts
faction of knowing they are strictly
up to- date.-Philadelphia Record.

lcHTHYosAURs' DEVELOPMENT.
Discoveries Concerning Them Made
Public at University Of California.

Discoveries Concerning Them Made
Public at University Of California.
Prof. John C. Merriam of the geo.
logical department Of the University
of California has just made public
the results of discoveries regarding
the origin and descent of ichthyo-
saurs. The significance of Professor
Merriam's discussions of changes in
bone structure found in ichthyosaur
fossils may be better understood
when it is known that the bone
changes are co%incident with the ich-
thyosaur's development from a land
moving form to a reptile Or animal
fitted for aquatic life.
Professor Merriam says that when
the ichthyosaurs first took to the sea
tfe Appalachian chain of mountains
was just completing it's u%pheayal;
whilo they were in the height OF
their prosperity the Sierra Nevadas
arose On the western border Of the
continent; while they were undergo
ing their decline and approaching ex-
tinction the Rocky Mountain range
and the region of the great plains
were rising from the sea. The whole
history of their dispersal on the high
| seas, according to Professor Merriam,
took place during a period roughly
estimated at eight million of years.

A Trade for Any Hour.

The thriftiest MAI In the United
States lives in Louisville. He has
rades that fit any climate, season or
line of day. AS an example OF his
wonderful versatility, a friend tells
he following story Of an average day
n the life of the strenuous man:
One morning last week he started
,ut with a rug to sell on commission
or an instalment house. He sold the
ug, and then came back and took out
| clock, which ne also disposed OF,
About noon he was called by an I'M
lertaker to embalm a body. which he
lid. Another undertaken sent for
,im to drive a hearse to the GENE
cry, and after he had disposed OF
his errand satisfactorily he preached
/ short sermon at the grave. He
lrove the hearse back to town and
filed In an afternoon for a candy
maker, who was taken suddenly ill

TEMPERAMENT and Food.

For bilious persons a chart OF life
published by Prof. Boyd Lanyard
gives emphatic warning of dangerous
rocks in the shape Of sausages, pork,
turtle and ether commodities. Eels
must not be eaten by brain workers,
chilly persons should cultivate a taste
for sardines, while irritable people are
warned away from ginger, and the
melancholy man must not touch bacon.
whitehall, it is suggested, is In
advisable for persons who are OF an
nature, asparagus is forbid
den to those who suffer from excite
ment, and languid persons are told to
be careful when they indulge in peas,
potatoes, arrowroot and macaroni.

is described as unsuitable for the
bashful, the irate, the pale, the droWsy
and the inebriate.-St. James Gazette

M PouItjces for Soldiers.

Linseed and linseed meal have been
dropped from army medicines, and
the army physicians have been mott
fed that it is the opinion of the Sur
geon Generals ot1lce that poultlces
have no place in modern therapeutics,
all the good results obtained from
them being got in a much more clean
ly way by hot wet congresses.
The prohibition of the time hon
ored linseed meal, the best material
Tor poultices, seems to interfere with
a method practiced by a large number
of physicians, who would be inclined
to testify that without it cur soldiers
would not receive the best care.
There is surely much to be said on
both sides. The psychological effect
at least of a poultice is entirely too
great for a successful family physi.
clan to ignore, and why deprive the
soldier of this old fashioned comfort?

The JOY OF Work.

It Is better to lose health like a
spendthrift than to- waste it like a
miser. 1t is better to live and be
done with it than to die daily in the
sick room. BY all means, begin your
folio; even if the doctor does not give
you a year, even if he hesitates about
a. month, make one brave push and
see what can be accomplished in a
week. It is not only in finished IN
dertakings that we ought to honor
useful labor. A spirit goes out OF the
mar VINO means execution which out
lives the most untimely ending. All
who have meant good work with their
whole hearts have done good work,
although they may die before they
have time to sign 1t. Every heart that
has beat strong and cheerfully has
left a hopeful impulse behind it IN
the world, and bettered the traditions
of mankind.-2Gbert Louis Stevenson

Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of j. Pope Brown, Chairman Of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, to re-
duce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions OF the
blacksmiths, m%achinists and telegraph
crs, boilermakers, railway train men,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed all
attorney especially to represent them,
who urged that such a reduction would
work against the prosperity Of the
State and lead to 4 reduction in the
number of railroad employees as we'll
as of their wages. The Travellers Pro-
tective Association also protested that
q reduction as proposed would result III
fewer trains and poorer service.

THE SOLACE OF WORK.
A Joy That Takes the Mind Of the
Drudgery of Life.

Life, to be rightly lived, requires
a personal aim, to %resolute purpose,
incentive to exertion, to s~elf-culture,
to s~elf-sacrifice. Only in this way lies
health Of body and mind"
Pressure in work lessons expense
Of living more than any other single
thing. Exercise properly taken means
a keener appetite and permits less ex-
penslve food. A simpler life is pos
sible when mere living is a pleasure"
Nowhere are these truths less
needed than among aousekeepers. We
fail to realize that joy in work takes
the mind off the %drudgery of life n
gives rest to every form of activity.
Undoubtedly, a certain degree Of pros
perity IS essential to human happi-
ness. We know, when times are good,
people are happy and contented. They
worry less and sleep more peacefully.
But it is a somewhat mistaken idea
that the chief incentive to work is the
possession of money and things. To
tell merely for sustenance is lowest
drudgery. In the actual doing and
achieving lies the surest pleasure. The
consciousness of work well done at
fords the highest measure of satlsfac-
ton. Children delight in constant &C
ton. Judicious commentator OF
taeir feeble attempts to do or make
things is only incentive to greater
and renewed efforts. The more one
does. the more he is capable of doing;
confidence is self begets confidence
In others.
Ability to do, then capacity for
work, is the criterion by which men
are tested: it is the measure OF one.s
worth. ~"Ciyilizatien," says Mrs. Rich
ards in The Art of Right Living
may be aesignated as a condition o.
wants. When we civilize a savage ma,
ton. we teach the people to wan
things they never before had or careo
to have. It is not the things that art
| good for them, too often the reverse
| but it is the incentive to work, II
order to have more, rnat arouses am
hition stlrs dormant faculties. ant

WHY Horseshoes Are Lucky,

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstitution: "St. Dun
stan was a skilled farrier. One day
while at work in his forge the devil
entered in disguise and requested st.
Dunstan to shoe his single hoof.' The
saint, although he recognized his ma
lign customer, acceded, but caused
him SO much pain during the opera
ton that Satan begged him to desist.
This st. Dunstan did, but only after
he had made the evil one promise that
neither he nor any of the lesser evil
spirits, his servants, would w mo-
lest the inmates of a house where the
horseshoe was displayed."-Kansas
