pucking Business Doomed.

That the duck business, is fast becom-
ing history, SO far as Havre de Grace is
concerned. is sef-evident, says the Havre
de Grace Republican.
With the shutting off, of the New
York and Boston markets which were
our principal markets, the business Is
practically at an end, as it leaves Phiia-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington. the
only open markets, the trade from which
is scarce worth considering-an we be-
lieve the Philadelphia market is also
closed after the 18th inst.
Such being the fact. that market gum
ming is no longer profitable. why not limit
the number of ducks to be killed, to say a
dozen and allow any person to go and
shoot them when they please. for home
consumption. and prohibit the shipment
of ducks out of the State entirely, as
number of states we understand do.

Xmas Mailing.

The parcel post will be put to the test
during the Christmas season and the
mails this year win be heavier than usual.
Packages should be shipped as early as
possible to avoid the rush OF the closing
days of the season and should be wrapped
in heavy paper with the name of the
sender and the address plainly written.
Strong Irvine should be used and if box
is used it should be sufficiently strong to
withstand heavy knocks.
Articles liable to be broken such as
glass. china or toys should be carefully
packed with excelsior or cotton waste and
marked fragil, handle with care.
A little common sense and care used In
the packing and addressing packages will
save much trouble and will insure prompt
handling by the postmasters and carries.
