Ducks Pay.

Kate V. Saint aur, who has won
Reputation by her success in showing
people how to make money at home,
tells how to make money with ducks
in the April Wsman's Home Com

Ducks are SO profitable, says Mrs.
Saint Maur, that / cannot understand
why so few keep them, Unless 1t is the
mistaken idea that they must have a
stream or p1nd in which to swim. 1t

A Senseless Habit.

The young lady that habitually uses
slang in her conversation cannot
have a very exalted opinion of herself.
The estimate placed upon her by
those who hear her use it is certainly
not a high one. 1t sounds coarse aud
vulgar when used by a man, but when
used by a woman its tone is degrading
and repulsive. How often one hears
a young lady speak OF children as
Kids" That word comes the slang Of
English thieves. Not exactly a proper
word for a lady to use, is it? Mash"
is another word in common use by
young ladies of both high and low de-
gree. The word originates in the i'm
moral relation sustained by a thief
and bis mistress. 1t is essentially
foul, and when issuing from the lips
of innocence and purity gives a start
ling shock. Even thieves, toughs and
diSreputables, OF either sex, who
know the whole vocabulary of slang,
seldom, if ever, use a single word OF
it in the preSeOee of honest people.
Slang, ia English, has but two sour
ceS-lhieveS and Showmen: and any
young person who initiates these
either in conduct. or converse
ion, is plentifully endowed with a
aCk of sense.
