Although the natural thing is to
see ducks in water, when very young
they should not be allowed to splash
around in 1t. Ducklings should be
kept as dry as possible until their
feathers have formed. They have
habit OF stopping the water around
when drinking, and the arrangement
OF the drinking fountain illustrated

Two Meanings.

The different meanings that a sim
pie turn of expression can give word
are often curious and sometimes anus
ing. An anecdote of Charles Lamb, the
famous English author, illustrates this
very pleasantly.
On a wet, miserable, foggy day, in
London, he was accosted by a beggar
with:
please, sir, bestow little charity
upon a poor, destitute woman. Be-
lieve me, sir, have seen better days"
so have l." said Lamb. handing the
poor creature a shilling, so have L.
It's a miserable day, even for Lon
dom"
A similar illustration is of the man
who saw some mischievous boys car
rying off fruit from his orchard.
What are you about?" he called,
Justify.
About going!" called one of them,
as the marauders disappeared over
the fence.-Youth's Companion.

SENTIMENT STILL RULES US
Thought and Science Kept Much in
Background, notwithstanding All
Our Pretending.

Notwithstanding all our pretending
that we are of an age which lives and
thinks scientifically, we are still, for
the most part, not creatures of thought
but creatures of sentiment With most
of us, for instance, the relationship of
the sexes is still matter to be re-
garded sentimentally. We still ignore
as much as possible the physical and
social facts back of that relationship.
We still, too, for the most part, have
sentimental political affiliations with
glorious ideals, but little conception
of the facts which condition their real
ization, with much of unreasoning
loyalty to parties or persons. We still
are apt to have and desire senti-
mental sort of education for our chill
dren, on a cultural basis which ig-
nores at once the necessity Of knowl-
edge of the facts of real life and the
vulgar necessity of our children's s
earning living. We still speak, with
pathetic dignity, in terms of a senti-
mental economics based on life as a
sentimentalist would have it rather
than on life as it is. We still enjoy
sentimental literature. We still pat
ronize sentimental drama.-Bernard l..
Bell in the Atlantic.

AGE NEEDED TO GIVE CHARM
New Buildings, Clean and Freshly
Painted, Are, Unattractve and
Seem to Lack Dignity.

A new building, clean and freshly
painted, is one of the most unattrac-
tive things in the world. Take
shining new house, set in a treeless
lot, without shrubbery or vines. 1t
looks as harsh and bumptious and
obtrusive as fresh young agent who
sets his foot inside the door the mo-
ment it is opened to keep it from be-
ing shut in his face.
Age is needed to give charm and
dignity to buildings, to make them a
part of the landscape. A new piece
of stonework or brick or stucco
stands up like a sore thumb. 1t does
not fit in with the rest of things. The
planet is somewhat weathered by the
winds and rains of millions of years,
and a permanent addition to it needs
at least a little weathering to har-
monize.
The gray of the great cathedrals
which have accumulated the smoke
and dust and CRIME of centuries Is
one great source of charm. To clean
Westminster Abbey's hoary walls
would ruin them. An example of the
cheapening effect of newness is con-
spicuous in Kansas City in the partly
cleaned walls of the new station.
The gray stonework is wonderfully
impressive in it's massive dignity.
But where the walls have been
cleaned and whitened they give the
impression of staring artificiality and
primness wholly out of keeping with
the general scheme Of monumental
city entrance. Happily, in the case
of the station the devastation wrought
by the cleaning will be repaired with
in few years. Meanwhile it may
stand as horrible example.
New things generally are more or
less distressing-new shoes, new
clothes, new houses. They all have
to be lived with awhile before they
get humanized.-Kansas City Star.

BANK FIXTURES WITH A HIS
TORY

The bank fixtures formerly used by
the Commercial Bank have undergone
a complete overhauling, and have
been placed in position at the Metro
politan Bank, and look almost if rot
entirely as good as new. These fix
lures have history. They were pur-
chased by Mr.. E. w. Agnew when he
was at the height of his financial pros
perity, and established the First Ma
tional Bank of OcaIa. In those DAYS
we thought the fixtures very fine and
they still look good to US. Some of
the largest transactions ever witness
ed in this county were done over
these counters. They were silent wit
nesses to the rise and fall'' of some
of our biggest f1nanciers. We can re-
member when this bank came into
existence. 1t came like the white
wake of the morning star, furrowing

would say. Though comparatively

and its like will perhaps never be

made in a day, and the whole state

Had 1t not been for providential mis-
fortunes Ocala would now, by long
odds. in all probability be the biggest
inland city in Florida. But vast
accumulations were swept away in a
single night, and this bank was en-
quilted with the general wreck of mat
ter.
