Waterfowl Pond.

Many a city or village boy scout who
makes an occasional trip into the coun.
try and has an enjoyable experience
at some pond side, regrets that he lives
SO far from that pond. It may not
have occurred to him that he can make
q miniature pond in his back yard in
the city, says Edward r. Bigelow, In
Boys Life.
Sometime ago / was talking with the
owner of an estate on which was a
lake exclusively for his graceful but
expensive waterfowls. In the course
Of our conversation he said: "Many
persons come here processing admira-
ton for my lake or waterfowl. They
tell me that they love such things, but
they are not sincere. What they are
admiring is the wealth that enables
me to have this extensive equipment.
But I began In a small way, and any
one who really loves waterfowl and
has little back yard can have at least
q mother duck and a brood Of duck
lings."
He summed up his philosophic adj
vice with this remark: IF you cam
not get lake with waterfowl, get q
tub and a goose"

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart in Real Life-Story
Of Enqiishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed. William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story Of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There a mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived new life.
BY chance he met his former wife, fell
i'm love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make it con-
vincing-LOndon itself has duplicated
1t from life.
John Arthur Lewis, a returned sol.
dier, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was in
PRODUCED by his mother to young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock Of the explosion
restored his memory Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days

History here modifies the ancient OBJ
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at

Just What 20 DO.

his models, "you ram sub like this.
Do you want to ask me any ques-

"Please, sir" piped some son Of q
sea cook, "what shall I do If see q

The instructor gazed at the man
with sparks coming out Of his eyes,
and the rest of the class thought out
all the horrible stories of the punish
ments Nero inflicted on those who
crossed him.

Onion Taken of Pedestal.

Another old-fashioned medical so.
perstition has been exploded. The
odorous onion can never again be
used as a therapeutic agent in tu-
berculosiS. Old timers who have
sworn by the virtues of this tear
producing product have humbugged
themselves, for the onion has been
investigated, classified, analysed
and everything else has been done
to it that the learned men of sci
ence could think of, and in the END
it was found to be only an onion
pleasing to the palates of some.
however displeasing to the noses of
their friends, but absolutely and
unqualifiedly without any medicinal
qualities or proprieties that make
it an aid in the treatment of tuber-

may as well use boiled potato peel

it will do them.
