A Duck's Wonderful Walk.
New Zealand is justly prond of a
wonderful duck, whose exploits are
told in a letter to the London Specta
tor by J. M. Eitchio, Esq., of Balvrald,
Dunedin.
This duck was of the Taradise var
iety. It lived at a sheep station
twenty-one miles from Tirnaiu, Can
terbury, where its owner, a house
keeper, had clipped its wings so that
should not fly.
When the housekeeper changed to
a new place she took the duck with
her in a basket by train to Timaru, by
another train for ninety-five miles, and
in a coach ten miles to- her new home.
Soon the duck, which had been liber
ated from its basket, was missed and
mourned for as lost.
Some time after the housekeeper
visited her old home, and was aston
ished to see tho duck swimming on its
familiar pond. That it slowly and
painfully waddled 120 miles was ob
vious. But how did it find the way
through a rough and hilly country?
THE ILLS OF WOMEN
And How Mro. Pinkham Helps
Overcoma Them.
Mrs. Maby Bollixgek, 1101 Marlanna
St., Chicago, 111., to Mrs. Pinkham:
" I have been troubled for the past
two years with falling of the womb,
leueorrhoea, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. I tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking'
two bottles of your Vegetable Com
pound, the relief I obtained was truly
wonderful. 1 have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that I am entirely cured."
Mrs. IIet.y Dorr, No. 80G Findley St.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Finkham :
"For a long time I suffered with
chronio inflammation of tho womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
so weak I was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leueorrhoea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians, and getting no relief, I had
given up all hope of being well
again when I read of the great good
Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. I decided immedi
ately to give it a trial. The result was
imply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of Sanative Wash
I can say I feel like a new woman. I
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Tinkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. I have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which I am grate
ful, May heaven bless her for the
good work she is doing for our sex."

Soro Mouth Among; Cattle.
A few weeks ago a disease commonly
'ailed sore eyes atnoug cattle, assumed
in epidemic form in some parts of the
sountry. Aow several localities have
reported another disease called sore
mouth or sore foot and it occurs among
inimals on pasture (Bulletin No. 67,
Purdue Agriculture Experiment Sta
tion) and is supposed to be due to
some condition of the grass. It is not
known to be contagious but it is a
good policy to separate the diseased
end affected as a sate precaution. The
inimal ceases eating, stands and fre
quently champs the laws, and saliva
drips from the corners of the mouth.
Ike muzzle has a peculiar brownish
hue which extends to the nostrils and
to the inside of the lips. The inside
Df the lips, gums, pads and sides of
the tongue become reddish. The
tonguo swells, sometimes to such an
extent as to keep the mouth open.
There is a very disagreeable odor about
the month. After a few days the
membrane peels off tho gums, lips and
tongue in patches, leaving them raw.
There is often lameness and soreness
of the teats. The disease ruus its
course in six to ten days, during which
timo the animal will bo unable to eat
anything hard. The bowels are usu
ally constipated.
The treatment is to apply an astrin
gent wash. Tannic acid, half ounce,
borax, powdered, one ounce, glycerine
eight ounces, and water sufficient to
make a quart, has been recommended.
A saturated solution of boracic'aoid is
good. Make gruels and sloppy feed
for diet. In a few cases this disease
has been reported as black tongue.
This is a mistake, as black tongue is
one form of anthrax. New England

Deepening: Fertile Soli,
Every farmer who has cultivated
laud where an underlying bed of rock
cooics near to the surface, knows
what a disadvantage such soil has
when a drought comes. It is hardly
less a disadvantage to have only a few
inches of ferule soil near the surface,
while all below is a hard clay or sand
that contains little of the elements of
fertility. To make suoh soils deeper
is the first wish of the farmer. But it
is a matter that is not always easily
accomplished. Merely plowing up
some of this subsoil and bringing it to
the snrfaoe may or may not be good
policy, according to what the subsoil
is. Most clay soils have some potash
and some have phosphate also. To
turn up a little of this to be acted on
by frost and air will help make theso
mineral elements available. But if
done it should be always plowed in
fall, so that the subsoil may be on the
surface where it is sure to get repeated
freezing and thawing.
The most common objection to fall
plowing, that it merely brings to the
surface a larger amount of rich soil to
bo acted upon by frost, and either
blown away by winds or washed away
during winter, is wholly done away
with if the plow is run an inch or two
deeper, bringing up soil that will not
be washed away, because, until win
ter's freezing, it has no soluble plant
food. Some of this soil made into fine
dust will be blown away into adjoining
fields, but if they are in grass this top
dressing of subsoil, that a few months
before had no fertility, will produce
remarkablo results. If in spring this
inch or two of subsoil can be culti
vated in so as to mix with the richer
soil beneath, both will be benefited.
Tho fertility is of different kinds, and
both aro needed for most kinds of
crups.
Some farn cr3 still plow to a depth
of seven, eight or nine inches for
their corn. If the land has been used
to this deep plowing and has grown
several crops of clover, this will not
probably injure their corn crop, even
if dono in spring. But it is far better
where such deep plowing is contem
plated to do the work in the fall, let
ting frost go through the entire fur
row as it will, and mellowing it to the
full depth it has been plowed. Deep
plowing in the fall allows the water
from the rains and snows to sink into
the soil, so as to store a much greater
amount than the soil could receive if
the plowing had been deferred until
spring. Hence the deepening of soil
by deep fall plowing is one of the best
securities that crops on land thus
treated shall not sutler from dronght
the following season. American Agri
culturist.
Prsctlcnl Suggestions From Experience.
All tools for safe, easy and success'
fill work must be kept iu good condi
tion, if edge tools, keep a sharp,
keen edge on them. The mowing
and reaping machines will run much
lighter for the team and do a much
better job if kept sharp. So for the
sake of the team and the plowman and
the coming crop, keep the plows
sharp. Do not attempt to use dull
hand tools. Besides the difficulty of
uoing tne work with, such tools the
work when dono will be a botch
This no one can afford.
Keep all bolts tight, all breaks re
paired, all carts needing it well niln.l
Without close and faithful attention
to these things, even the sharpest and
best tools will soon bo ruined. It is
well to look, every machine all over
carefully at least twice a day while ns
ing it to see that everything is all
right. A good hand will be so attentive
and careful as to detect almost at once
by the rattle, the jar, tho motion, the
cut, whether everything about the ma
chine is all vtffht m- not. 3uch a hand
will save his wages aud perhaps more
overy day.
Keep all tools freo from rust.
Those who have attempted to plow
with rusty plows, or ear with a rusty
saw, or hoe with a rusty hoe, will ap
preciate this. I seldom leave auy of
my tools out over night, and never
during a rain. If plowing or cultivat
ing I arrango the work so as to go
from any remote part of the field to
the part nearest the barn or shed aud
do work ns I go, in case a storm
should come np, or the dinner bell
ring, or the day should close; and
then it is much cheaper ruul easier to
take the tool along and house it care
fully, and much less wearing to the
patience, thau to try to use it wheu
rusted, or to have the bother and loss
of time of first cleaning it. I have
tools that I have had ten and twelve
years that have never been left out
over night, nor through a rain that
drove me to shelter. Furthermore,
beside housing tools at the close of
the season, or indeed any time, I see
that all needed repairs are made and
that they are protected as far as possi
ble from rust. I take the shovels aud
tongues of my cultivating tools and
put them in an old coal bucket and
cover with coal oil, and breaking
plows and other bright surfaces I rub
over with a woolen cloth thoroughly
dampened with coal oil. Because of
this care my tools look like new and
are always ready for service.
Tools should be used gently and
carefully. It pays. To me it is pro
voking to see one cut his saw upon
nails, strike his ax or hatchet down
upon the ground or upon gritty places,
to run his planes over dirt and dust,
to drive his wagon or buggy on a
round trot over stony and rough
places, to force his plows and harrowi
and cultivators through roots and ovei
stones in a hurly burly manner, or tc
throw his forks and rakes and hoei
from place to place. Better spend out
minnte to walk acrqss the barn flooi
to set the fork down carefully in its
place, than to have to spend perhaps
an hour and probably twenty or twenty-five
cents for repairs. Better go
more slowly and load less heavily than
by fast going and heavily loading mul
tiply expenses.
See that all tools that should be
painted are kept niooly painted.

Shipped From Germany In Van,
Any one who contemplates taking

World may secure some novel ideas as
to the transportation of household
goods from the interesting experience
of Miss Drake. Miss Drake, whose
father was at one time United States
Minister to Germany, is a Thila
delphian, but has been residing for
some years in Weisbaden, Germany.
Recently she decided to return to het
native city, but was fearful lest some
household effects should suffer dam
age in transit. She hit upon a plan
which was decidedly novol, although
somewhat expensive. She hired one
of the largest furniture vans to be had
in Europe, and in it were packed hei
household goods under her close and
careful supervision. Six strong horses
drew the van from Weisbaden to Ham
burg, where the body of the vehicle
was lifted from the axles and deposited
in the hold of the German steamship
Assyria, which was bound- for Phila'
dolphia. Upon the arrival of the
Assyria at this port a few days ago
Collector Thomas, npon the applica
tion of E. Buchey & Co., the repre
sentatives of Miss Drake, detailed
Customs Inspector Maguire to take
charge of the vehicle. The huge box
was set upon wheel;) once more, and
six horses drew it to the South Forty

unloaded under the eye of the Inspec
tor. The van will be sent back to

The Liquor Curse In Alaska..
One ot tho least fortunate nets ot the
P ulted States Congress In regard to Alaska
has been the enaction of a mo.it rigid pro
hibitory law as to alcoholic liquors, says
David Starr Jordan in the Atlantic. This
Is an Iron-clad statute forbidding the Im
portation, sale, or manufacture of intoxi
cants of any sort InAlaaka. The primary
reason for this act Is the desire to proteot
the Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos from a
drug of which they aro excessively fond
and which destroys them. But a virtuous
statute may be the worst kind ot law, as
was noted long ago by Confucius. This
statute has not eheokod the flow ot liquor
In Alaska, while It has done more than any
other Influence to destroy the respect for
law. In general, men who "are not la
Alaska for their health" are hard drinkers,
and liquor they will have. It Is shipped to
Alaska as "Florida water," ("Jamaica gin
ger," "bay rum." Demijohns are placed
n the oentre ot flour barrels, sugar barrels,
In any package which may contain them.
With all this, there Is a vast amount ot out
right smuggling which the Treasury De
pa:tment tries In vaintocbeck. All south
eastern Alaska Is one vast harbor, with
thousands of densely wooded Islands, most
ly uninhabited. Cargoes of liquors oan ba
safely hidden almost anywhere, to be re
moved piece by piece in smaller boats.
Many such o irgoes have been seized and
destroyed, but the risk of capture merely
serves to raise the price of liquor. Once
on shore tho liquor Is safe enough. Up
wards of seventy saloons are runnlug open
ly In Juneau, and perhaps forty In Sltkii.
Most of these houses are the lowest ot their
kind, because, being outlaws to begin with,
tho ordinary restraints ot law and order
have no effect on them.
Causes of Inebriety In Women.
Inebriety is bad enough In a man, but in
a woman It Is even more pitiable, and, it It
be possible, more far-reaching jind more
dreadful in Its results. With women it
would, we think, be safe to say that the
origin ot the drink habit lies in perturbed
physical conditions in faot, that It is a
disease, and not a mere moral obliquity, as
many would unve us believe. The conse
quences of alcoholism la women are not so
quickly evident as in men. In the earlier
stages of inebriety in those casus in which
there is power of volition, a peculiar
shrinking from publicity protects some
women against the symptoms noted
among men at alike porlod. Two causes
may be given for the lapse of women Into
Inebriety. First is the nervous condition
due to lack ot nutrition nnd the wear and
worry of domestic life and the demands ot
society an exhaustion for whloh relief Is
mistakenly sought la the transient aid of
nloohol; secondly, the pain and unrest In
cident to disorders of their sex, for which!
solncn is sought In the nnesthetia nnd
paritlyztog effects of alcohol. In the first
caso the woman who flies to drink must bo'
unaware or unmindful ot the fact that its
taking Involves a great risk of creating a'
morbid condition that often find expres
sion in constant inebrioty. Iu the second
case, the so-called solace, with startling
and sorrowful frequency, ends in confirmed
alcoholism. Now York Ledger.

I shall never drink again, but one night

but nlcouol was licking up my very blood

withdrawn now, I fear hud gone out into

pray, and my lips framed oaths. I reached
up for God, uud He was gone, and the
fiercest fiend of hell had me by the throat
and shouted, "Drink, drink, drink!" Isold,
"But Mary but the boys;" it said. "To
Hell with Mary come on, to the saloonl"
It wns not yet daylight, Sunday morning,
when I stood on the platform at l'awtucket,
alouo, I flew from saloon to saloon, they
were shut up, so were the drug stores; and
all that dny, locked In my room at the
hotel, I fought my fight and won it in tho

An Electric Llfht for Divers.
The submarine aro light has boen
invented, which will be of great value
in diving and wrecking operations.
Such a light would have been wel
comed by the naval officers charged
with investigating the causes of the
wreck of the Maine. The apparatus
consists of a containing caso mado of
glass and metal, inside of which is the
lamp, which reoeives the current
through a double conductor water
proof cable. The light is lowered into
the water and can be moved by the
diver so as to spread the light equally
on all sides, thus affording a concen
trated beam on the hole iu a ship's
bottom.
JJIn conjunction with this powerful
light the camera plays au important
part in reproducing a perfectly truth
ful likeness of what actually exists at
depths where the professional diver or
engineer may not care to go. Such a
record serves to insure a perfect un
derstanding between the diver and
those in charge of a work.
There are many practical nses to
which this invention may be put.
Among the possibilities mentioned are
examining and cloaning the bottoms
of merchant and battlo ships, attach-!
ing hoisting chains to guns and other'
movable parts on sunken vessels, plac
ing and recovering submarine mines,

Read what Mrs. G. A. NoirsAJtAKER,
BluJTton, Ohio, says abont Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and how well
it prepared her for maternity:
" Dear Mrs. Piskuam: I must say a word
in praise of your Vegetable Compound. I
used three bottles of it when I was preg
nant, and labor was not nearly as long
as it was with my other babies; and
my baby is so healthy to what the
others were. I think every woman
should use your Compound when preg
nant, it will save them so much suffer
ing and misery. I cannot say enough
in praise of it If ever I need medicine
again, I shall use your Compound."
The most successful tonio known to
medicino for women approaching ma

table Compound. It is a safeguard
for every woman who uses it, and
tho fullest benefit comes from its
use with Mrs. Pinkham's advice
freely offered to all woman. Her
address is Lynn, Mass.
Here is a convincing statement,
bearing directly on this subject,
from Mrs. E. Bishop, of 1848 Pacific
St., Brooklyn, N. Y.:
