They were very much the same until you saw their feet. The Chick had long scrawly toes, wbich were very useful for scratching, while the Duckling bad webs between his toes, which were very useful -when he swam in the big pond. One clay the Chick in order to please the Dnckling and make him do him a favor, brought; some very nice grain from the barnyard down to the edge d the Big Pond and gave it to the little fellow with the webbed feet. "I do not care very much for that kind of food," said the Duckling, "but will eat it in order to please you," "That is kind of you," replied the Chick, "but I would rather have you eat it because you like the grain." All this set the Chick to thinking, and he said to himself: "Ab! I must offer some inducement if I want to make the silly Duckling do wilier I wish." The next'day the Chick wont to visit the Duckling, and when tyle fellow with the web feet saw him coming he swam to the slime out of mere curiosity. "Are you fond of worms?" asked the Chick. "Indeed I arn," answered the Duck- ling, "Then come with me to the side of yonder road and we will get some of the choicest worms in all this world." The Duckling began to toddle along behind the Chicle trying his best to keep up. "Why do you not go faster?" asked the Chick. "I and thinking of the good food I am going to get," replied the Duck- ling. This flattered the Chick. When they reached the road they started to cross it, and the Duck, being slow of foot, had not gotten very far when an automobile overtook the Chick and ran over him. The poor little Chick was not hurt, but the was.every much frightened. The Duckling ran to her assistance, shouting: "Are you hurt? Are you hurt?" The Chick was too frightened to mime; so the Duckling helped her to the side of the road and in a short time the Chick was able to talk. Just at that moment another auto- -- mobile whizzed by, and the Duckling narrowly escaped being bit at the side of the road. "Comte let us get our worms," said the Chick, in a weak voice. "Good -by, dear," said the Duckling. "What!" exclaimed the Chick. "Go- ing 50 soon?" "Yes," replied the Duckling. "Better one worm in my peaceful pond than a feast of worms in fear of automobiles."

They love it on their tables, their dressing - tables, and find its charm irresistible in lampshades, bowls and vases. But not many women have themselves en- gaged in the production of glassware —at least not in England, says Lon- don Answers. One woman, however, is something of an exception. She cannot actually maksglassware, for she has neither the plant nor the means, but she makes ordinary glass wonderfully beautiful, In an old little corner of London she has pitched camp in a little spaoe, half studio, half shop, and here she works. She stains glassware with some secret material, flooding it with wonderful, rich colors. She catches the sunlight in her bruebes, snatches the translucent tints from autumn berries, borrows ideas from the petals of flowers, and transfers all these lights and shades to her glass. When she first started, people were sceptical of her art and craft. They thought such things could be done bet - tee abroad. Now they know better. Men who dealt in such things, show long and keen interest in it. She is probably on the road to help capture a trade that belonged to the enemy. If the deMand continues to increase, an attractive and lucrative new occu- pation for women may spring up. In the cabinets in her studio is a 4-kry world of fairy coloring. There is ill jam -jar on which she made one of her first essays, trans.e forming it ultimately into a thing of beauty. This is a precious souvenir. Then there are winecupse goblets, beautiful bowls, slender -necked bottles and exquisite vases, all stained with luscious coloring. You pick up a bowl to look at the deep, rich grapes staining its rounded. PETS, INSECTS AND BIDIAbT. Interests of the Native quarter of Japan. In Japan if one w"1 leave the hotel and the tourist omee and the cocktail- drinkera and go out into the real na- tive quarter, there are enough things to 'Morose, any one. Ono old man passes with his load of crickets, which sing in hot weather and are kept,. in cages like so many emirates. These gentle creatures make a noise like a squeaky axle and one hid under the hood of a twelve -passenger car would subject the most careful chaeffeur to scorn. They are caught with bird- lime and make nice little pets, cheap to buy and not requiring gasoline for upkeep, My rickshaw man is an old fellow whom I hired a year ago and who re- cognized me again.

I have him. trained so that if we pass any one at unusual work or go near any novel scenes, he points out these things to me. He knows my fondness foe Japanese children, who are the cutest tots on earth, with their gay clothes, slant n eyes and bobbed bane and if he sees an unusually bright dress or a fine elfild, he points them out with a sort of fatherly pride of race.

Fashion Fads 1 Each day unfolds something new in the world of fashion, for many inter- esting novelties catch the eye of those who observe the women of fashion, from whose apparel may be gleaned every "ttle detail and item of inter- est which create the atmosphere of good style. Some of the new collars are large affairs rolled high at"the back and lees in front. These have been given the demure name of monk collar, and one is illustrated in the eketch. Some- times they are fastened with little buttons and loops at the front, or the closing is made invisible. They are , usually made of satin or the new five- ' ed silks to -street with the dress ma- ! -lariat. The loose side panels on skirts, with large pockets on each side, are also recognized as one of the newest style notes in skirts. The panels being loose flap about in the wind, often dis- closieg a bright lining of contrasting material on the reverse side. From the front, these side p011015 seem at first to be nothing but the familar HOW TO CURE STOMACH TROUBLE, The Common Cause is Lack of Blood—Therefore You Must Build Up the Blood. There is the most intimate relation between the condition of the blood and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for a large part of its nourishment; while every act of digestion, from the time the food enters the stomach and is as- similated by the blood needs Plenty of pure well -oxidized blood. The mus- cles, glands and nerves of the stomach work only according to the quality of the blood. The most common cause of indiges- tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not only does impure blood weaken the muscles of the stomach but it lessens the product of the glands of the in- testines and stomach, which furnish the digestive fluids. Nothing will more promptly cure indigestion than plenty of pure biped. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the'eafest and most cer- tain blood -builder. A thorough trial of these pills gives a hearty appetite, perfect digestion, strength and health. Here is proof of the value of these pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Dan- , iel Dexter, Liverpool, N.S., says:— 1"For several years I was a great suf- ferer from indigestion. I was great- ly troubled -with gas on the stomach which caused disagreeable sensations. I was also frequently troubled with sides, and somehow the soul in the ! craft of this woman sends its message! London, emphatically disagrees with to you.

You can see the women powers are stronger now than at any time since last May. The allied re- sources, he says, are now more than ever greater than those of the enemy, and France has the finest generals the war has produced. Mr, Bennett is con- vinced that victory will come perhaps slowly and little by little, but come it will. The, immediate future cannot fail to be extremely and startlingly com- plicated, writes Mr. Bennett, and he warns against counting tee much upon the next great offensive, which may fall far short of what is desired. Strange things may happen. Beth- mann-Holhveg, for instance, may fall, and Tirpitz and Reventlow he free to inject more of their ruthless methods into the war; Speaking of the remaining chap- ters of the war, Mr. Bennett writes; "I cannot conceive the remaining college of the war, but we can be very sure of one thirg, eamely, that it will not be what We are expecting it to be. ' Alarms await us; shrieks await us. Our faith in ourselves is bound to be put to the strain. The fortitude of the timid and small - hearted among us will be shaken at the first crisis; or, if not at the first, then at the second, and there will be more than two crises. Destiny will reserve our moat Severe trials for the period just preceding the end, then all influences, some honest, some dishonest, in favor of a peace that Is contrary to justice, will bct at their strongest Our national ability to resist these influences will depend not on the orator,, of statesmen or ex- hortations of journalists, but on the menial babas of individual citizens.

She Suffered for Two Yeare, but Three Boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills Made Her a New Woman. Adarnsville, Kent Co., N.B., Jan. 29th (Special.) --"I can recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to every woman who suffers." So says Mrs. Williams, a well-known and highly respected lady residing here. Mrs. Williams was a sufferer for two years till she used Dodd's Kidney Pills She found in them quick relief and complete cure. That is why she is so enthusias- tic in her praise of them.

The other day a gentleman farmer having some pigs for sale offered to dispose of them to a pork butcher. The latter called at the ferns where, before proceeding to the yard, he was hospitably treated and introduced to his host's daughters. A gallant man is that porkist, and one who never lets pass an oppor- tunity of paying a compliment. "Now, sir," said he, on leaving the loom, "I've seen your young ladies and I'm going to see your young swine, and if the two's Much alike there won't he no difficulty about bringing off a deal."

That simile can pass over such sharp instruments as a razor's edge without the slightest harm has been demonstrated by a French scientist, The snail walks with the whole under- surface of his body, and it is provided with means to Iubrocate the road on which it travels. A peculiarly com- plex system of muscles enables it to cling in any position to the smooth- est objects. In lifting itself over the razor's edge it clings with the hind part of its walking surface to one side of the blade and extends the fore part and bends it down over the other side. Then it draws itself over gradually and without exerting any pressure upon the edge of the blade. It could not, however, crawl along the eharp edge of a razor or knife. It is a feet that while the common snail has lungs, heart and a general circulation, being in every 'respect an air -breathing creature, it is, net co t le - less, able to live indefinitely without inhaling the least bit of air. Experi merits have clearly demonstrated that any or all of the usual life conditions may be removed in the case of the snailwithouthp hounttoriniating its existence o itsfunctions.

EVOLUTION OF THE GROCER. 'Engrosser" Was First a Dealer in all Kinds of Merchandise. Nothing is so necessary in any com- munity, nothing so unescapable as the groces. It is the first business of the reffEer settlement, and it plays the most important role in the business drama of any town. One can hardly magine a city, in any age, in which here were no grocery stones, and yet he institution is a comparatively nodern one. Do you know how gro- eries originated? 0111y a few hundred years ago cer- ain foresighted tradsmen in France vett about the country buying up bar - aim lots of merchandise. They bought re damaged goods, bankrupt stocks, 11 sorts of commoditiee. They bought hese things "en gros" and made noney out of them. The trade was arried to England, where a man who ought hardware, thread, furniture, egetables "en gros," or In large uantitiee, called himself an "engros- er." This was Into shortened to 'grocer," but the term was still ap- lied to the proprietor of a general usiness. The grocery was a sort of 'ticket shop, like the modern 10 -cent tore.
