SPEED OF DUCKS AND GEESE.
The Ducks Made Sixty-Six and Two-

Of all the migratory birds tho
American wild pigeon and black
duck are well up toward the front as
regards long and rapid flight. The
speed of the pigeons can only be es-
while that of the ducks can
be established by observation. Some
years ago the writer and a scientific
friend measured off on the shore of
B large western river a line exactly
three miles long, and each took a
station at opposite ends of the line.
The object was to note, by means of
signals, the time a
flock of wild ducks took in passing
up or down the river near the
During three hours on the morn-
of a bright October day
were noted of the times of pass-
big the stations of nine different
locks. Upon comparing watches
was found that the average time was
two minutes and forty-two seconds,
thus showing the speed per hour to
be sixty-six and two-thirds miles, or
one mile In seconds. As
showing how uniform was their
a difference was found of only
five seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
As numerous flocks of wild geese
were daily flying in the same neigh-
observations were also taken
to test their hourly speed. Two
points, twenty-nine one-third
miles apart, were selected, both of
which were connected by telegraph.
We succeeded in identifying four
out of seven flocks which passed over
both places during the four days we
were on the watch. The mean hourly
speed was found to be a fraction
over fifty-four miles. The wild goose
has been long supposed to be the
swiftest of all water fowl, but this
experiment shows that he is far be-

There is Mrs.-----, she has really

that she does not look a year young-
I say but it is only so

analyzed the look of age. Wrinkles
may be the most obvious thing
about It, out they are not the main
thing. What makes anyone look
old is first, the change, the decline of
all tho chief modelings of the face,
the falling of the chocks, the

in removing wrinkles increases all
this, and is likely to count more

tobacco to thrive the land must be

hard running up

In China is the family. The

family is its ability to exercise

ability of the Chinese family
to sustain its feudal prerogative is
owing to its being part and parcel
of the land itself. There are no land-
lords in China. The land is the
property of the state and the occur
piers pay a small tax to the former
for the use of it. This tax must be
paid whether the land is cultivated
or not; no family, therefore, makes
itself responsible for more land than
its members can care for. The state
further reserves the right where the
occupiers do not do justice to their
holdings to dispossess them and
it. This land tax ranges from
twelve to forty cents per acre, and
the average size of each holding is
nine acres. Apart, from this
each family has the inalienable right
to two acres of land, which is strict-
entailed upon the family and fur-
the site of the homestead.
The members of the family who in
trying their luck in the adjacent
cities fail to make a success have
ways the ancestral home to fall back
upon and the accompanying farm to
work on and live by. A poor law is
unknown in China, and failure is not
to be found in the lexicon of the
laboring class. Another point which
younger nations might incorporate
in their code is the respect paid to
the aged in China. The old people
are assigned the best rooms in the
family home, and are not in any
way looked upon as worn out or
desirable relations. Such
have obtained for hundreds of
years, and suggest the thought that,
wanting as the Chinese have of late
been found in the fighting arena, as

That the ways of women are passing

to offer his seat to a lady who had
just entered with her little boy.
Seeing the seat vacant she sent tho
boy to occupy it, while she clung to
a strap. She was evidently very
tired and would have enjoyed a seat,
but preferred to care for her son
first. Presently a lady left the ear
the one standing took her spat.
Next to her was a serving maid
with a pretty baby on her lap. The
lady asked permission to hold it,
and, the request being granted, she

tho child for a half hour, utterly ob-
