Several weeks ago q setting of eggs
was put under hen, one-half OF which
were laid by hen and the other by q
duck. In due time they patched a
mixed litter, chickens and ducklings, and
| it was soon demonstrated that although
ducks eggs may be Matched by hen or
turkey, they will always come out duck
lings. To that rule, at least, there is no
exception; when they we're only day or
two old it was amusing to see them play
and swim about in the water, while the
mother hen and chickens showed no incli-
nation for that kind of sport or ablution.
And here is curiosity which savors
slightly of mineralogy, instead of natural
history: Several years ago glass handle
tumbler, or mug, as they are now called,
was carried to spring, some distance
away, near a meadow, for drinking cup,
aud kept suspended on limb of small
tree standing near by. When carried
there, 1t was perfectly transparent az
any window glass, but when brought to
the house recently, 1t had assumed the
color of the amethyst, blush violet,
and of course we prize 1t accordingly on
account of it's novelty; and if any one
doubts this fact he is especially invited
to call and see it for himself. But whence
its color That is the question.
The Lake Crystal Union, Lake Crystal
Minnesota, Wednesday, June 5, 1901
That Is the name and date of an eigh,
page paper, of average sizs, which found
its way into the house recently, and il
found to be we'll filled with local and
general news, not emitting the usua
quantity of advertisements. One article
is headed, "Crushed to DEATH" while
another is still more tragic and titled,
" Burned at the Stake" and of course Il
was negro who suffered such terrible
death, while the crime can be easily
guessed.
Miss Evangeline Small, whose death
was reported recently, was in our Sab
bath school class years ago aud, although
a person of few words, she seemed anx
ious to learn and was highly interested
in the lessons. Her father died of the
same disease to which she fell victim
and few years later her mother went to
the hospital to be treated for tumor
but survived the ordeal only few days
Our recent visitors were Mrs. A. s.
Brooks, her little daughter, Martha, and
Myrtle Cole, fine-looking young lady OF
North Woodstock, but is suffering the
irony of fate, being deaf and dumb OIL
nearly So.
