Wild Duck Domesticated

Andrew c. Paist of Mechanicsville,
Bucks county, has a beautiful wild
duck among his flock of Pekin ducks.
1t alighted last November in a state
OF bewilderment and exhaustion and
was easily captured. It's Wings were
clipped so that it could not fly, and it
soon became domesticated among the
tame ducks. the most serious trouble,
that of getting used to corn diet, be-
ing overcome by degrees.
During March it laid twenty-eight
eggs, twenty-three of which have fur
nished sittings for two tame ducks,
and MIR. Paist is eagerly waiting for
the Matching process to see what the
half wild, half domestic ducklings will
be like.-Briston Observer.

Chinese Incubation Methods.

The Chinese have been practicing
incubation for centuries and do not
have patent incubators either. They
use the old-style methods, which it is
doubtful if an American could dc
much with. One of the common
methods employed in China is to take
a pile of horse manure and allow il
to heat for few days, turning it over
to regulate the heat. When the TEN
perature is at about 100 degrees the
Chinese put in duck eggs or eggs OF
other fowls.
Recently the Chinese in Hawaii
have taken to raising ducks in this
way. The climate is admirably adapt
ed to the work of incubation, as the
temperature seldom falls below 70 de
grees and seldom rises above Is
This very uniform temperature makes
it easy for them to regulate the heat
Of the manure in which the eggs are
being incubated.
The eggs in the manure pile arr
watched carefully and turned from
day to day. When the allotted time
for incubation has gone by the little
chicks or ducklings as the case may
be are seen coming out of all parts
of the manure pile. They are care,
fully tended for some days and are
kept in box or pen in which the
temperature is high enough to prevent
them from being chilled till they be
gin to get some feathers.
Gapes.
The presence of cape worms in the
windpipe of the chick is what causes
gapes, which in turn cause numerous
deaths among the broods of half.
grown chicks. These worms are
round, small, and have a forked
appearance due to the permanent
joining of the male and female. Ere.
quently these worms collect in such
numbers in the windpipes of the
chicks that strangulation is caused.
The chicks succeed in coughing nm
some of the worms and these are
eaten by other chicks which in turn
become affected. For this reason
chicks that appear to have the gapes
should be separated from the others
or rather the others should be sonar
ated from them, as they may have
already coughed up some of the
worms and thus infected the ground.
When gapes are present do not per-

STRICKEN WITH INSANITY.
Two Brothers Jump From n Fast
Running Train.


What is thought to be a case of
travellers insanity is responsible for
the suicide of Emil Propp and the
incarceration of his brother in the
county Jail on a charge of insanity,
says the Seattle Star.
While on the way from Everett to
Seattle, Emil jumped headlong
through a car window and was quick
ly followed by his brother. Emils
neck was broken in the fall and his
brother Oscar was badly bruised
about the body. The body of the
dead man was removed to the Bon
ney-Watson morgue. Oscar Propp
was taken to the city Jail, where he
attempted again to commit suicide
by hurting himself headlong on the
cement floor of the receiving cell. He
was removed to the county Jail and
| locked in padded cell.
The brothers began their trip west
ward from Wannakena, st. Lawrence
county, N. Y. Both had plenty of
money and intended to come to this
section of the country to work in the
woods. Both men are about 80 years
of age and of Swedish descent. The
leap to death occurred at the 23-mile
post which is five miles north of Ed
monds and on the line of the Great
Northern railway.
Passengers on the train say that the
two men said little to anyone, but
seemed to be earnestly talking about
private matters just before Emil tool
the leap through the car window
The train was stopped as soon as pos
sible and both men picked up.

A GAMBLERS LAYOUT.
Devices Which Fools Play Against in
Gambling Games.

Deputy Sheriff Bailey raided a
rear room on the second floor of a
lodging house in the lower part of
town about o'clock this morning and
captured two men smoking opium. He
also secured a full layout, with the
exception of the pipe. In place of
this the fiends used a rubber tube,
through which they inhaled the
fumes, says a Wardner dispatch.
They gave their names as w. S.
Reed and George Milot. Neither of
them has been around Burke long.
although Milot had been here before.
From papers taken from Milot's per-
son it was learned that he had lived
about Wardner for some time.
Two pawn tickets were found in Mi
lots possession that called for a faro
layout and card holdout. An inspec-
ton of the contrivances at the pawn
shop showed each to be most ingeni-
GUS.
The card holdout is made of a
system of springs and coils fitted to
a piece of leather that is made to be
attached to the upper forearm. The
leather is painted TO closely resemble
human flesh.
An adept in its use can touch a
small spring, when some coils unloos-
en- and the machine comes down as
far as the wrist. At its end is small
clasp wherein a number of cards can
be surreptitiously placed. When the
cards are placed within the clasp the
spring is again touched and the appa-
ratus with the cards is withdrawn up
the operators sleeve, to be kept there
till desired.
When the cards are needed the ex-
pert touches the spring, the appara-
tus silently glides down to his wrist
and the cards are removed and re-
placed with those not desired. The
machine is said to be one of the mos
| ingenious ever seen here.
The faro box pawned by the man is
said to be worth SIS. 1t is made o,
silver and constructed so as to bt
crookedly worked. 1t is known a!
an end spring box. By pressing the
end two cards are drawn out at &
time instead of one. The cards are
marked and made to fit the box.
The trial of the men has not yet
been set.

CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
Different Grades Bring Fair Prices in
the Big Market Center.

The Livestock World of Chicago, in
speaking of the sheep market in that
city for the past week, says
Sheep and lamb trade was steady,
fairly active on desirable grades,
stronger to a little higher on some
thin-skinned handy weight sheep,
but closed draggy. Receipts, estimat-
ed at $4,000, promised to fall a little
short. Colorado fed Mexican lambs
sold up to $7.S5, or last weeks top,
and clipped fed westerns to- $3.50.
Clipped yearlings made $5.S5, clipped
wethers $3.50, and ewes $500.
Wooled sheep, especially if weighty
were Disseminated against, and mar
keting these with the wool on does not
seem good policy from this time on.
Spring lamb trade was in the same
unsatisfactory condition and largely
on a catch-as-catch-can basis. Some
desirable stock sold at II cents, prices
ranging from that figure down to 6
cents for monkeys.
Bulk of supply was from western
feed lots. Natives were mostly lambs,
few nearby sheep coming. Good to
choice native clipped lambs were
quoted at $6@6.50, although few OF
the latter are available. Natives are
so few as to have little influence in
price-making.
Yearlings sold up to $5.S5, handy
weights being preferred, and practi-
cally all offerings being shorn. Bulk
of wethers are quotable at $5.25 a
SIS, with the wool off.
Bulk of clipped wethers sold at
s5.25@5.S5, with $3.50 quotable on
export stuff. Wooled sheep were
scarce and found no urgent demand
A band of mixed wethers and year
lings found no takers at Sc, but would
have sold readily shorn at $5.25.
Western ewes clipped made $500
but had to be light, finished and thin
skinned, to do it, in fact, $5 was ar
outside price, with the exception OF
these, on good clipped ewes, the bulE
selling at $4.5O@5. The $500 stuff
was farmer-fed and of super-eXcel
lent quality.
An Ohio shearer paid $40 for tive
doubles of wooled lambs. Few sprint
lambs arrived, but there were evi
dently enough to meet the somewha
meager demand.
Eastern mutton markets were re
ported i'm bad condition.
| A band of wooled wethers an,
yearlings made $3.50. This kind o
stuff met discrimination.

The suggestion by Mr.. Chealander
that every town or section in Alaska
should send something to the Port

would portray those things upon
which it depends for its existence and
for its hope of the future, Alaska
would have an exhibit that would be
