The Criminal" Match.-Nearly

The Criminal" Match.-Nearly
all of us are careless with matches.
If we were always careful we should
snever use anything other than the
safety match. All others have been
rightly characterized as criminal.
"A splendid resolution for us all to
adept would be this: Never to buy,
7anG except in dire necessity to use,
amy other than the safety match"
The common parlor match, which
can be ignited on the side or the end
with equal ease, is a constant source
of danger. We have all seen them
fly for many feet when struck, and
many OF as have seen them start
fires. The bird 's-eye" or double
tipped match is an improvement,
but for safety use the safety"
Matches should never be left with
an reach OF children, and if you still
think it necessary TO stick to the par
Tor match, let them be kept in a
metal pr stone receptacle and out Of
gear <of the little folk.

MANY DUCKS IN CHINA.

Those travelling In foreign lands
are apt to note with interest many
pecularities of the people OF different
nations, and Of course are apt TO no.
tice the different kinds OF fowls and
animals found in different countries.
There are more ducks In China than
in all the rest OF the world. Their
voices are a familiar sound in every
town and country spot OF the sea
coast and in the interior Of the vast
empire. Even in the large cities
ducks abound. They dodge between
the coolies legs. They fit, squawk
ing, out of the way of the horses.
Their indignant quack will not I'M
seldom drown the roar of urban COM
merce. Children herd ducks on every
road, on every pond, on every farm,
on every lake, on every river. There
Is no back yard without its duck
quarters. All over the land there
ments, many of them of a capacity
huge enough to produce fifty thou
sand young ducks every year. Duck
among the Chinese is a staple deli
cacy. 1t is sailed and smoked like
ham or beef. 1t Is served as a deli
cacy prepared in many ways, and
humber of travellers declare that only
the Chinese know how to cook and
serve a nice fat duck. In royal
houses and among the very wealthy
the duck is served in a particular
style in honor of any distinguished
guest, and those fortunate enough to
have eaten 1t say that it is far beyond
anything they get elsewhere In the
way of prepared fowl. Many ducks
are exported from China, and it
promises to be growing industry.
The climate, as we'll as the care of
the fowls, is said to produce the most
excellent flesh.-The Waterman.

FIVE RULES FOR WOMEN TALK
ERS.

In the November Womafl's Home
Companion a contributor advises wo-
men ON talk. Five rules are laid
down:
Cd Don't tell long stories, or even
short ones, unless you have an espe-
cial gift for it.
CD Remember that talking about
yourself is an indulgence, and, as
such, should be strictly limited.
60 If another woman tells you of
some sensation or experience of her
own, don't Immediately cap it with
one of yours. Swapping tastes" is
of the lowest order of conversation
I have been in circles where the talk
consisted in each woman's taking
her turn in telling how she thought
or felt about some commonplace sub
ject, such as the digestibility of she'll
fish, or liability to colds.
(4) Never lose consciousness of
the proportion of the talk you are
usurping, and, il you are taking
more than your share, be sure that
the quality matches the quantity.
go Discriminate always between
talk for your own pleasure and talk
for your friends. People constantly
tell the stupidest anecdotes because
these have become charged with
some extraneous charm impossible
to transmit. Perhaps the occasion
when it took place was important be-
cause some particular person was
there, and every detail Of it has TAX
en- on radiance visible only to the
narrator.

''The ghosts don't want you," said
Mrs. Collins. Your conscience is
the only ghost that will trouble you
if you have done anything wrong"
''It may be that he knows about
it," thought Tom as he started off
in run through the shadows of the
tall pines; ''but if he doesn't, it will
be only true and just to tell him

said at last. Go and find out, and
then come and tell me-"

The teacher pondered a few mo-
