Duckbill Freak of Nature.

The duckbiil, or plaiypus, is one
of the strongest and most paradoxical
of all the animals of nature. 1t is
sometimes called natures Joke. II has
bin and webbed feet like duck and
can swim and dive like Il fish. The
most unexpected trait of the animal
is that it actually lays eggs. He
makes long tunnels In the banks of
streams in his native home In Aus
tralla. These are made barely large
enough for his bo'iy to pass through ;
so that If he desires to return at any
time he simply backs out, which he is
enabled to do, since his fur is like
that of the common mole, set in such
way that no matter what direction
he moves his fur neither hinders him
nor gets full OF dirt The duckbill is
all that is left of Il large family.

STOLE HER FLOCK OF CHICKS
How leghorn Hen Procured a Large
Family Without the Formally
of Matching Them.

The fox is no cleverer than a Leg
horn hen. SO at least thinks one
reader of the Companion who has
read the numerous stories that II has
printed to illustrate the cleverness Of
foxes. To justify her opinion she
tells story OF her own. Here 1t is {:
In our flock of chickens we had
only one brown Leghorn, but she was
hard to beat. One day she stole her
nest, and. though Leghorns do not, as
a rule sit, some time later she came
marching proudly into the yard fol-
lowed by dozen little brown balls.
In week she had following her %
she had stolen them from other hens.
And besides attending to the needs
OF that large family she began short
ly to have an egg In her coop every
morning.
An interesting incident occurred on
q neighboring farm. A persistent lit
tie hen that was repeatedly prevented
from sitting finally disappeared and
returned some days later with seven
fluffy baby quail. She had evidently
driven the mother quail from her nest
and Matched the eggs herself. The
baby quail obeyed her commands, and
she was very proud of them; but. In
the words Of my small brother, won't
she get the surprise Of her life some
day when these little quail learn to

Why Knock on Wood.

Because there was at one time
general belief that trees and human
ity were allied In close bonds of union.
and that certain trees had healing
qualities. II was customary for a per
son afflicted with disease to take a
wooden string Of three colors. and with
his right hand tie his left loosely TO
the limb of tree, then slip II out
and hasten homeward without casting
glance back, the belief being that
the disease was transferred to the tree
by touching II. Thus from tree II
has become common practice to touch
any article of wood to ward on mis-
fortune.

DISTRIBUTE BUILDING COSTS
Proper Share OF Expense for RepIae-
Ing Old Buildings Should Be

proper share OF the cost for re-
placing old farm buildings should be
charged against the farm income each
year. Buildings may be constructed
to last for 100 years. or they may
stand only third Of that time. II
the cost Of replacement is not charged

for buildings, machinery, or other
farm equipment are merely "a method
for distributing these costs over the
period of years in which the equip

Mlrth has been called Goes medi-

not testify to the saving value OF a
smile. There Is story told of n man
who received q wire while on bust

wiped out by fire. The depressi;s,
which followed this news Threatened
Tor time his mental balance, and h.
even gave serious thought to taking
his own life.
While In this dangerous mood he
received a letter from his daughter. n
girl of nine, which read: Dear Dad

was burned and it looked awfuuy
pretty all covered with ice. Love and
kisses from Helen"
The man laughed and the day was
saved. That CLINT of humor was like
a ray Of sunshine In dark cell. The
spirit OF the man was released from
the prison OF his gloom.
