canvasbaeks on the Wing.

If you have any doubt as to the swiftness of the canvasback on the wing where business calls just fire at the leader in a string some time when you have the chance. Duck shot when propelled by the proper quantity of powder travels pretty quickly itself but if your charge brings down any member of that string of ducks at all it will be the fifth or sixth bird back of the leader, and I'll bet farm on it.
 eff you would have chance of drop ping the leader you will have to aim not less than ten feet ahead of him. Then he will more than likely run plump against your shot. When he drops it will be quarter of mile or so farther on, for he can't stop short of that distance even after he is dead" New York Sun.

One of the strangest and most un- expected of the uses to which we could imagine leg as being put is that of an organ of hearing. Yet such seems to be one at least of the functions of the fore legs in the cricket. On the outer side of the tibia a small oval space may be seen, in which the strong armature which covers the rest of the body is reduced to a thin and mem- branous condition, making thus a sort of window or. drumhead. Communi- eating with this, inside the leg, are the ends of a nerve, and it can hardly be doubteds' therefore, that he whole apparatus constitutes an auditory or

Looking into the fire. particularly q coal fire, is very. injurious to the eyes. Looking at molten iron. will soon de stroy the sight. Reading in the twi- light is injurious to the. eyes, as they are obliged to make great exertion Reading or sewing with side light injures both eyes. Both eyes should be exposed to an equal degree of light. The reason is that the sympathy be- tween the eyes is so great that if the pupil of one is dilated by being kept partially in the shade the one that Is exposed cannot contract itself sufi. ciently for protection.

The income from 5000 property at per cent clear amounts to about $I1 a week.
 A sound and thorough business educa- ton will produce nearly as much at the outset, and will lead to future opportuni- ties which cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents.
