leeland's Elder Ducks.

In Iceland Oh certain Islands, near
Reikiavik. the elder duck is raised in
a systematic manner. 1t is really more
of a small goose than duck, being so
independent of fish and animal food as
to be able to support itself by grazing
on seaweed at the bottom Of the sea at
a considerable depth. It Is a splendid
diver, being as much at home under
the water as on the surface. The great
value Of the elder ducks down is well
known. and. owing to the birds tend
ency to pull out such large quantities
Cor lining its nest that it leaves its
lower breast almost bare when 1t Is
setting, there is no difficulty in get
ting a good supply of these feathers
without destroying the birds. In Ice
land 1t is strictly guarded against in
trusion. The inhabitants consider 1t
crime worse than stealing deer in Scot
land for any person to shoot an elder
duck.

The Misplaced comms.

"some lawsuits OF the highest I'm
portance have hinged upon the right
placing OF COMMA" said n Judge.
when l first started TO practice law
a Missouri editor came TO me In peck
OF trouble to defend him against a
threatened libel suit growing out OF
faulty punctuation. He had not meant
to give some Innocent young women
the slightest offense when he wrote a
story about two young men who went
with their girls TO attend lecture and
after they left. the girls got drunk.
Putting that miserable little comma
out Of It's right place did the work. as
II made the girls the ones who became
inebriated instead OF their escorts. |
managed by proper diplomacy and the
publication OF a neat apology to stave
on the damage suits, and afterward
my editorial friend became an expert
on punctuation. - Baltimore American.

I suppose none Of us recognizes the
great part that is played in life by eat
ing and drinking. The appetite Is so
imperlous that we can stomach the
least interesting viands and pass off n
dinner hour thankfully enough on
bread and water-just as there are
men who must read something, II 1t
were only "Bradshaw's Guide" But
there is romance about the matter aft
er all Probably the table has more
devotees than love. and am sure that
food is much more generally entertain
ing than scenery. DO you give in, as
Walt Whitman would say, that you
are any the less immortal for thati
The true materiallsm is to be ashamed
Of what we are. To detect the flavor
OF an olive is no less a piece Of human
perfection than to find beauty in the
colors of the sunset. 90 Robert Louis

airy tone which reasserted itself in the

based on technical causes largely
There were some selling odds for Lon

be due to the unfavorabIe view of the

The information which these con
