Well-Dl.elpllned Ducks.
Blackwood has a good account of a
Journey of 1,200 miles up the Yang
sc-Kiang full of description and leav
ing on the mind the impression that
China, besides being one of the most
original of civilized countries, must
be one of the most beautiful. The
following passage may raise in some
fowl-breeders a new appreciation of
Chinese skill in disciplining their
feathered flocks:
t" "During our stay at Hankow we
Visited a duck farm. The process of
keeping the ducks is simple. A large
wooden shed stands near the edge of
the river, where the owner of the
farm or an employe spends the night
with his feathered friends. There
must have been several thousand of
ducks in the farm we visited. Before
sunrise the door of the shed is opened,
and out run the ducks, scrambling'
one over the other into tho river,
where they spend tho day feeding.
As soon as sunset approaches, from
all parts of the river they come, for
they wander far among the rushes and
islands during the day, and therein
stilljmore hurry and scurry to get into
the shed than there was to get out at
dawn. The reason is simple. Im
movable by the door sits the China
man, a long cane in his hand, and woe
betide the last duck to enter, for
down on its back comes the long bam
boo withja i pain-inflicting thud. In
this way punctuality is insured among
ducks."

Undoubtedly many diseases may be
prevented if the blood is kept pure and
the general health-tone sustained by the
use of Hood's ftarsaparilla. When this is
ione, the germs of
La Grippe, Diphtheria
Pneumonia, Scarlet and Typhoid Fevers, Malaria
etc., cannot lodge In the system. After all such pros
trating diseases Hood's Snrßapnrilla has been found
of Inestimable value In restoring desired health and
vigor, and purifying the tainted blood.

WITCHCRAFT.
A MJorily of the Citizens of the United
States llellavo In It.
Witchcraft is at the present time
believed in by a majority of the citi
zens of the United States. The larger
number of immigrants from the conti
nent of Europe are more or less in
fear of such powers. To these must
be added no inconsiderable proportion
of persons of English and Scotch de
scent; for a strong vein of superstition
is discernible in many Irish, Scotch,
and some English, whose "folk-lore,"
diffused in nursery tales and neigh
borhood gossip, has entwined itself
strongly about the fibers of a sponta
neous subconscious mental imagery.
Among the more ignorant members
of the Catholic Church of nationality
the belief produces a mysterious dread,
against which men and women cross
themselves, and resort to various rites
supposed to be efficacious
Where colonies of immigrants have
remained isolated, retained the use of
their own language, the influence of
witchcraft is more easily traced. Ihe
interior of Pennsylvania affords bet
ter illustrations of this, and on a
larger scale than any other State. It
has been but two or three years since
suit was brought by a man against
his mother, in one of the counties of
Pennsylvania, to recover damages for
a dog which he charged her with hav
ing killed by witchcraft; and he not
only brought suit, but obtained judg
ment from a Justice of the Peace.
Various witnesses testified as to their
experiences in withcraft, and only one
said that he had never had a friend
or relative who was bewitched.
In divers villages in Pennsylvania,
some of them in the Dunkard settle
ment, are women who are supposed
to be witches. Some are shrewd enough
not to apply their arts for strangers,
but to those whom they know, as
stated in an article in the Now York
Sun some years ago, they will sell
charms to ward off lightning from
buildings, dry up the wells of the
enemies of applicants, force cows to
give bloody milk, cause sickness in
the family, destroy beauty, separate
man and wife, and reunite estranged
lovers.
In the interior parts of the South
ern States, where a large portion of
the white population cannot read,
and there is a little admixture of so
ciety, there are "witch-doctors," who,
assuming that all disease is caused
by witches, secure thriving practice
in counteracting their influence. The
Philadelphia Times, on the authority
of a reputable correspondent, who
gives many facts to sustain his repre
sentations, says: "For generations
the poor whites have believed in
witches, and the belief is deep-seated
and incurable."
The African population brought
this belief from the Dark Continent,
and it persists among them to this
day, though tho progress of religion
and education is doing something to
check it.
I have recently noted in various
parts of the United States more than
fifty suits instituted by persons
against those who they claimed had
bewitched tbem; but under existing
laws the accused could not be prose
cuted except where money had been
obtained under false pretense, or
overt acts of crime had been suggested
or committed.
During pedestrian tours in Now
England, in various parts of the West,
and in every Southern State, I have
frequently stayed for the night at the
houses of poor farmers, laborers, fish
ermen, and trappers. In such jour
neys I have invariably listened to the
tales of the neighborhood stimulating
them by suggestions, and have found
the belief in witchcraft cropping out
in the oldest towns in New England,
sometimes within the very shadow of
the buildings where a learned minis
try has existed from the settlement
of the country, and public schools
have furnished means of education to
all classes. The horseshoes seen in
nearly every county, and often in
every township, upon the houses of
persons suggested the old horseshoe
beneath which Lord Nelson, who had
long kept it nailed to the mast of the
Victory, received his death wound at
Trafalgar. —Century.
Whore He <iot tho Information.
A friend of Sir Lubbock's who was
traveling around the world sent him
specimens of marine animals, which
he studied carefully and of which he
published a description. One of these
was new to the naturalist, and, to
his disappointment, his friend said
nothing in his notes of its hab
itat. lie wished very much
to add this information to his
account. At last he thought that he
had found the important statement,
for the label on the bottle in which
the animal had been preserved and
sent home read, "J 8. J W." "Evi
dently," thought Sir John Lubbock,
"this means that the animal was
captured in a spot half a degree west
longitude and halt a degree south
latitude."
He published this conclusion, and
rested content until his friend came
home and demanded, "My dear fel
low, what on earth made you say that
I found that animal in the latitude
and longitude you mentioned'? I was
never within 500 miles of the place."
Sir John produced the bottle, and
pointed to the label. "I took the in
formation from this," he said. "What
else can S. j W.' mean?"
"Mean?" was the reply. "Why, it
means that the animal is preserved
in a mixture half spirits and half wa
ter!"
Thumb Identification.
At a recent meeting of the Anthro
pological Institute Mr. Francis Gal
ton, F. It. S., exhibited a large num
ber of impresssions of the bulbs of
the thumb and fingers of human
hands, showing the curves of the
capillary ridges on the skin. These
impressions arc an unfailing mark of
the identity of a person, since they do
not vary from youth to age, and arc
different in different individuals.
There is a statement that the Chinese
—who seems to be credited with every
new discovery—bad used thumb im
pressions as proofs of identity for a
long time, but Mr. Galton pronounced
it to be an cggrcgious error. Im
pressions of the thumb formed, in
deed, a kind of oath or signature
among the Chinese, but nothing more.
Sir W. J. Ilcrschell, however,
when in the Civil Service of
India, introduced the practice of im-
printing finger marks as a check on
personat ion. Mr. Gal ton's impressions
were taken from over two thousand
persons by spreading a thin fllm of
printers' ink on a plate of glass, then
pressing the thumb or finger carefully
on the plate to ink the capillary
ridges, and afterwards printing the
latter on a sheet of white paper.
Typical forms can be discerned and
traced, of which the individual forms
are mere varieties. Wide departures
from the typical forms are very rare.
Wine Drinking: at Dinners.
It is an undoubted fact that the
serving of many and heavy wines at
large dinners is gradually becoming a
thing of the past, writes George W.
Childs in the Ladies' Homo Journal.
Of course, I do not mean that wines
are no longer served, for thev arc and
will continue to he, so long as civil
ized men consider them a feature of
dinners. But Ido mean that of the
varieties of wine there are fewer, of
the quantities less, and of the quali
ty lighter, than was the custom ten
years ago. Were I preparing for a
large dinner for men—which isalways
from the nature of things more heavi
ly wined than an ordinary "mixed"
dinner—l should not think it in the
least degree necessary to order any
thing like tho same amount or assort
ment of wines that would have been
imperative a few years ago. And in
extenuation of the statement that
the qnalities of the wines served are
becoming lighter, the simple fact that
at the average English dinner-table
port wine has been almost entirely
superseded by claret, may be cited.
It is also becoming a very ordinary
thing at English dinners to meet
prominent men who do not drink
wines of any kind, and in our coun
try this is also becoming more and
more a fact. Of course, a dinner
must have fluids; the best of solids
require some liquids with which to
relish them, and a dinner would bo
but wasted energy and material with
out them. But I think it is no long
er imperative to serve wines, or at
least we can serve with them some
other beverage which will be of equal
pleasure to the constantly increasing
set of people who And that wining
and dining together is rather too
heavy a combination for their com
fort.
" flow to save Hoys
Women who have sons to raise and
dread the demoralizing influence of
had associates, ought to understand
the nature of young manhood, says
Appleton's Journal. It is excessively
restless. It is disturbed by vaguo
ambitions, by thirst for action, by
longing for excitement, by irrepressi
ble desires to touch life In manifold
ways. If you, mothers, rear your sons
so that their homes are associated
with repression of natural instinct,
you will be sure to throw them ip the
society that in any measure can sup
ply the need of their hearts. They
will not go to the public houses at
first for love of liquor—very few peo
ple like the taste of liquor; they go
for the animated and hilarious com
panionship they find there; which
they discover does so much to repress
the disturbing restlessness in their
breasts. See to it, then, that their
homes compete with public places in
attractiveness. Open your Winds by
day, and light bright fires at night.
Illuminate your rooms. Hang pic
tures on the walls. Put books and
newspapers upon your tables. Have
music and entertaining games. Ban
ish demons of dullness and apathy
that have so long ruled in your house
hold, and bring in mirth and good
.cheer. Invent occupations for your
sons. Stimulate their ambitions in
worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with
higher purposes than mere pleasure.
Whether they shall pass happy boy
hood, and enter upon manhood with
refined tastes and noble ambitions
depends on you. Believe it possible
that with exertion and right means a
mother may have more control over
the destiny of her hoys than any other
influence whatever.
rerilH of tho Engine-Cab.
It is said that the sudden death
from heart disease of the pilot to a
ferryboat on the North River many
years ago led to the adoption of a
new rule on all sucn boats. The vic
tim of the stroke was alone in the
pilot-house when the tragedy oe
curred, and the boat and passengers
narrowly escaped disaster in conse
quence of the sudden withdrawal, un
known to any one on board, of the
guiding hand from the wheel. It
was thereafter required that at least
two persons should always be present
in the pilot-house when the boat was
making a trip. In the cab of a loco
motive, two men are regularly on
duty, and it would be an extraordi
nary mishap which would leave the
engine wholly uncontrolled, to rush
with its freight of life and property
upon inevitable destruction. But
even where there are two persons to
divide the tremendous responsibility
between them—for it cannot be less
gravely characterized when you come
to think ofit—somcthingmay happen
which wilj make the situation perilous
in the extreme. Something of this
kind did happen not long ago on a
Kansas railroad, and a narrow escape
for all hands was the result. The
train had just left a station when the
engineer observed that the fireman
was acting very queerly. The queer
ness increased until it ended in a
violent attack by the fireman upon
the engineer. The latter by a fortu
nate blow succeeded in knocking his
assailant senseless, and at the next
station an insane fireman was handed
over to she authorities. It took four
men to subdue him and he soon died
in wild delirium.
Fox Killed by a Cow.
The first Instance on record of a
cow killing a fox comes from Bucks
County, Pennsylvania. A few days
ago while John Ilunsicker. a farmer
living near Schnecksville, was driv
ing his cows home from pasture a
large red fox ran out, of the woods
and gave the animals a lively chase,
lie finally got so close to one of tho
cows that she made a vicious kick at
his head. So well aimed and power
ful was the kick that it caught the
fox fairly in the head and dropped
him dead in his tracks.

OUR UNPROTECTED LAKES.
Roafton to Relievo tlie Treaty of 1817 I•
Abrogated. I
If the treaty of 1817 is still in full
force, provisions that are unquestion
ably in favor of Great Britain restrict
the naval power of the United States
on the great lakes to a single warship
of somewhat obsolete design on Lake
Ontario, and to two vessels on the up
per lakes, neither to be better than
the one which protects American in
terests on Lake Ontario. A few
facts will demonstrate the unfair
ness of the treaty so far as this coun
try is concerned.
Under the provisions of this inter
national agreement, Great Britain,
by means of the St. Lawrence River
and the canals, could place a formid
able llectof gunboats on the lakes at
any time. The prosperous cities that
line the lakes would he at their mercy,
for the United States would lie un
able to protect them with a single
warship worthy of the name. That
the relation between this country and
England should lead to war is not
probable, but it is not impossible, and
under the circumstances it is not wise
for a great nation to leave an exten
sive portion of its richest and most
prosperous frontier exposed in an ab
solutely defenseless condition.
More than seventy years have
elapsed since the treaty of 1817 was
entered into, and with them have
come changes which call for the ab
rogation of that agreement, if it is
not already abrogated. Vessels ol
two or three times the tonnage con
templated when the treaty was en
tered into can now make the passage
from lake to lake, and the St. Law
rence Canal improvements will open
the way to tho sea. The significance
of this appears in the fact that the
route to tide water is almost wholly
controlled by Great Britain. In the
event of war her vessels only could
force a passage to the lakes. En
gland now has in her navy 188 war
vessels, with a total tonnage of 161,-
247, and carrying 875 heavy guns be
sides 1,000 of small caliber, rapid fir
ing and machine guns, which could
pass through the Welland Canal and
enter the great lakes. Almost any
dozen of them could control the en
tire chain of lakes, for they are new,
fast and have the latest improve
ments, three-quarters of them having
been built since 1885. With their
powerful long-range guns, a very few
of these modern warships could in
flict great damage or exact a corre
sponding indemnity. Some of them
are always on the St. Lawrence, at
Quebec or Montreal, while others are
at Halifax and within easy call. If
war threatened others could he placed
at these or adjacent points, and at
the first sound for the onset could he
rushed through before it would be
possible to prevent.
It is claimed that the clause re
ferred to of the treaty of 1817 had
been abrogated and that the United
States is no longer hound to refrain
from the establishment of a navy on
the lakes. An esteemed correspon
dent of the I ree Press, writing some
weeks since from Chicago, called at
tention to the fact that a notice was
given by thePresldeut in May, 1864,
that the clause referred to should be
terminated, and that Congress subse
quently ratified his action. A refer
ence to the public documents and
proceedings of Congress bears out this
statement In his message to Con
gress on the 6th of December, 1864,
President Lincoln said;
In view of the insecurity of life and
property in the regions adjacent to
the Canadian border, by reason of
recent assaults and depredations com
mitted by inimical and desperate
persons who are harbored there, it
has been thought proper to give
notice that at the expiration of six
months, the period conditionally st ip
ulated in the existing arrangements
with Great Britain, the United States
must hold themselves at liberty to
increase their naval armament on the
lakes if they shall find that proceed
ing necessary.
In February 1865 Congress approved
the President's action by adopting a
resolution "that the notice given by
the President of the United States to
the Government of Great Britain
and Ireland to terminate the treaty
of 181" regulating the naval force on
the lakes, is hereby adopted and rat
ified as if the same had been author
ized by Congress."
It would seem, therefore, that
there is no obstacle to proceeding at
once to the better protection of our
immense interests lying along the
borders of the lakes by the construc
tion here of a suitable naval arma
ment. If there was any flaw in the
proceedings by which it was sought
to terminate the treaty, the neces
sary steps should be taken over again,
and at once, so that there may be no
delay. War with England, as already
stated, seems improbable; yet within
the past few years public opinion has
run high on several questions in dis
pute, and in the President's message
there are matters referred to as in
dispute, any one of which might lead
to opon conflict. In any event this
Government has no right to leave the
western frontier exposed as it is.—

A Friend In Nuetl.
The following story, told of Thad
deus Stevens, illustrates his kind
heart. Soon after his removal to
Lancaster he heard ol an old lawyer
friend at York who, under pressing
need and hope of replacing it,, appro
priated S3OO of a client's money tem
porarily to his own use, and, like so
many before and since his time, found
it impossible to replace it when the
time came. Ruin and disgrace ap
proached him. Stevens hunted up
and paid the client witli his own
money, and with his receipt made di
rectly to his friend's office. The old
man sat before his desk bowed down
with grief when Stevens entered.
"Hello, old friend," he said, "you
must wake up. Don't be so down
hearted. Say, don't you think it pos
sible you have paid that note and
then forgotten about it? Let me
look." After a short pretense of look
ing through the receipts, Stevens gave
a cry of triumph and held up the re
ceipt he had just been given. The
old friend was saved, and, with his
spirits, also recovered his fortune.
But, though ho pretended at the
time to be deceived Iff Steven's ruse,
he did not forgot to repay his friend
as soon as able.—Great Divide

29 Park Row, New York, N. Y.
Hinging Mothnrf,
As night began to spread her
shadowy wings over the great throb
bing world about us, from the open
doors and windows of all the houses
near came the sweet sound of voices
in song. They were mothers' voices,
and no one who heard the wealth of
love throbbing in everv line and word
could doubt that some one was being
rocked to sleep, that some little rest
less head was pillowed upon a loving
arm, that some one's eyes were droop
ing nearer and nearer the rosy cheek.
Yes, in every house in my immediate
neighborhood the noise and prattle of
little children are heard all day long,
and the sweet bedtime song at night.
Hark! "Bye O Baby, Bye O Darl
ing." Ah, yes, that same old song
sung to us, I ween, and to our parents
before us. Then in the little white
house just across the way the words,
"Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross,"
came so soft and low I bent my ear to
catch the words. I fell Into a reverie.
How strong and loving and hopeful
tho voices sounded, and yet I knew
some heart must have its burden.
But burdens must not be laid upon
the little hearts, to sap the sunshine
and happiness there. So whatever
trouble the mother knows, the trust
ing eyes only see a patient, loving
face bending over them. It is ever
so. The papers say, "Meet your hus
band with a smile," and our own
hearts say, "Meet your children with
a smile;" so we must go on smiling
and smiling, letting the agony at our
hearts down, down, smothered per
haps by and by, by the very smiles
that were so hard to give.
Ah, what does tho world owe to
tho mothers, the patient, loving,
song-singing mothers? Whocan tell?
How many lives have been turned,
changed completely, by the encourag
ing smile of the mother, or the song,
coming full of love and g.adnoss to
win her child back to the path of
righteousness.
A lady once lived beside a new house
that was just going up. The work
men were very profane, and as she
had a little daughter she feared the
example, as the great oaths followed
each other in quick succession. There
were so many of the men that she
could hardly summon courage enough
to ask them to desist, so she thought
of another way. She sang—sweet
religious songs in her clear, strong
voice—sang with new encouragement
as the profane voices were all hushed,
as If listenining. As long as she
sang there were no voices, and when
the swearing began and she broke
into the sweet old strains of "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" the voices were
all silenced.
In the roughest heart some soft
spot still remains, and if an old sin
hardened heart can thus be made
different, think of the influence on
our babies. So, dear mothers, Ictus
continue to sing; sing gladly if we
can, even though we do not feel al
together so ourselves. But let us
siug anyway.—Hearth and Hall.

disease by removing the cause of it.
It's with the liver or the blood, nine
times out of ten. A sluggish liver
makes bad blood and bad blood
makes trouble. Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery makes pure
blood. It invigorates the liver and
kidneys, rouses every organ into
healthful action, and cleanses and
renews the whole system. Through
the blood it cures. For Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness, Scrofulous,
Skin and Scalp Diseases even
Consumption (or Lung-scrofula) in
its earlier stages, it s a certain
remedy.
Nothing else is "just as good."
Anything " just as good " could be
sold just as this is. It's the only
blood-purifier that's guaranteed to
benefit or cure, in every case, or the
money is refunded.
Tho catarrh that isn't cured costs ,
S3OO. Not to you, but to tho pro
prietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. They promise to pay you the 1
money, if you have an incurable ■
case.
They don't believo that you have
