ch
Bit 1y s little bantam hon had hatched
out three of the funniest, fluffiest little
ducklings you ever saw, with six of
her own brood. They were such
funny sight as they waddled about the
yard after Mother Bantie that people
used to stand at the fence and watch
them and laugh at them, Every night
they would cuddle under Mother,
Bantie with�/etheir little chicken broth-
ers and skiers, and Mother Bantie
would spread her wings over them and
cluck to them just as she did to her
own little bantam children.
One day Mr. Meggs, who lived down
the street and who also owned a drug
store down -town, stopped at the fence
and called to Billy
"]'ll give you a dollar if you will
lend me those little ducks for two or
three days. I'll take good care of
them and bring then back to you safe
and sound."
A whole dollar! Billy had never had
'a dollar all at once. He did not
hesitate.
"Certainly you can talce them, but
you'll be good to them and give them
enough to eat, won't you?"
"Oh yes!" said Mr. Meggs. So Billy
caught the three little fluffy, waddly
ducklings, and put them into a box
and gave them to Mr. Meggs.
Then he told his mother.
"But what is Mr. Meggs going to do
with them?" she asked.
Billy stared hard at her before he
answered,
"Why, I never asked!" he said.
"That's funny, but he said he would
take good care of them, and bring
them back."
Thet evening Gordie West whistled
outside of Billy's gate
'Asti your mother if you can walk
down -town with me I've got to go
to the post office for my father, and
I'm going to buy a new baseball."
Billy's mother said that he might go,
and together the two boys walked
downtown.
"Come on over to Mr. Meggs's drug
store," said Gordie. "I want to show
you something."
So they crossed the road to the cor-
ner, There were several people
standing before the window.
"Oh, aren't they sweet!" said a lit-
tle girl.
"Poor little things, they're cold!"
said her mother.
"What're they looking at?" asked
Billy.
"At my rabbit and my guinea pigs,"
said Gordis proudly, "Mr. Meggs
gave me a dollar for letting him take
them."
"Why, he gave me a dollar for my
ducks]" said Billy, and then he look-
ed into the window.
In a little pen, right in Mr. Meggs's
drug -store window, were Billy's fluffy,
waddly ducklings.' In one corner was
Gordie's rabbit and in the other two
sleepy -looking guinea pigs.
"Those are my ducks," said •Billy;
but as he watched them, he almost
cried. There was food on the floor,
there was water in the dish, but the
poor little ducklings wore cold, and
they looked homesick and lonesome.
One of them was standing as close as
he could snuggle against the rabbit.
Another was poking his flat little bill
under the rabbit, wonderingeno doubt,
why he did not spread some soft warm
wings over him as Mother Bantie
always did; and the other little duck-
ling was standing so forlornly in the
corner that Billy could stand it no
longer.
"Wait a minute," he said to Gordie.
He felt of the beautiful crisp dollar
bill that he had carried round in his
pocket all day. He looked at his for-
lorn, homesick ducklings, trying to
warm themselves by Gordie's rabbit,
and he marched into the store.
Mr. Meggs was just ringing up some
cash in his .cash,register when Billy
walked up to him.
"Here's that dollar, Mr. Meggs," he
said. "I guess I'd better tape my lit-
tle ducks home. They've never been
away from their mother before and
they're cold."
Then Billy choked a little and felt
very foolish.
"Well, if you don't want to leave
them here, you can take them home,"
said Mr. Maggs kindly. He was not
cross at all, as Billy had feared he
would be. "And you can keep the
dollar; they've brought me more than
that in trade from the people who
have stopped to look in my window
to -day."
So Billy carried the fluffy, waddly
duckling, hone in the box that night,
and. when he put them into Mother
Bantie's coop they just ran under her
' wings with the happiest little peeps
you ever heard; and Mother Bantle
clucked as if she was happy to have
them back,
"They looked just as I felt that day
when I stayed out at the farm with
Great -Aunt Jane and you went back
home," said Billy to his mother when
he told her the story, "and I fust
couldn't stand it to see them there so
cold and lonesome and wanting Moth-
er Bantie'"—Youth's Companion.
Tact.
"Young roan, did you kiss my
daughter in the hall last night?" said
the giel's mother sternly,
"I thouglit I did," said the young
man promptly, "But really you look
no young that I can't always tell you
mutt."

WHEN YOUR FOOT SLEEPS.
Pressure on the Sciatic Nerve is the
Cause.
- If we sit for some time with our
legs crossed our foot "goes to sleep."
We are really pressing on the sciatic
nerve, which supplies nearly all of
the nerves of the leg and foot, says
London Answers. The nerve is elas-
tic, andis flattened by pressure just
like a rubber hose. The fibres which
make up the nerve are sensory, that
is to say, they carry sensations to
the brain.
Motor nerves carry sensations from
the brain to the body. The only ways
to stop a nerve carrying sensations are
by cutting it or by pressure. which
pushes apart the soft nerve matter,
which is covered with a sheath, just as
the water is pushed apart if you press
a hose.
When the pressure is on the nerve
messages cannot pass backwards and
forwards. If the pressure is released
the nerve matter returns to its place
and does its work,

CUT BULLET FROM HEART.
French Surgeon Tells of Unique and
Delicate Operation. ,
Dr. Maurice Beaussenat, who had
already extracted a piece of grenade
from the right ventricle of a man's
heart, told the French Academie des
Sciences recently of a second similar
operation performed with success.
A corporal wounded at Eparges had
been treated for peritonitis ,and then
had been operated on for appendicitis.
He continued to suffer in various ways
for more than a year, when a radio -
scope revealed the pressure of a
shrapnel ball, moving in time to the
beatings of the heart. Spposing
this to be in the pericardium or sac
about the heart, Dr. Beaussenat
"went in," as the surgeons say, and
saw that the ball was actually in the
right ventricle, near the lower end.
The heart was drawn out; its wall
was cut open ,between two loops of
wire; the ball was removed and the.
heart was sewn up again. Six months
later the heart had healed so perfect-
ly that there was not a sign of ir-
regularity about its pulsations. .

WEATHER KIND TO ENGLAND.
Rain Has Twice Decided Battles in
Favor of the British.
Weather, which is again hampering
the operations of our armies, has in
all times influenced the course of bat-
tles, observes the London Chxoniele.
Its, effect, however, has generally
been one-sided, and some past examp-
les form a hopeful precedent. At
Crecy, for instance, the "great rain,"
which Froissart records, rendered use-
less the bowstrings of the Genoese
archers, but the English bows, being
kept in cases, were not affected. At
Plessey, too, a heavy shower of rain
damaged the enemy's powder to such
an extent that his fire slackened, and
Clive was enabled to avenge the mass-
acre of the Black Hole.
Bad weather materially contributed
to the failure of Napoleon's expedi-
tion against Russia; and the Aus-
trians, in the retreat at Solferino,
were saved from annihilation by a
hurricane so fierce that, according to
the Moniteur of that day, "nothing
could any longer be distinguished on
the field of battle."

WHEAT WISDOM.
Wheat -growing in Egypt Traced Back
to 3359 B.C.
The statement that "wheat will end
the war" may need qualification, for
there are other factors; but the as-
sertion holds much truth. Wheat, in
the form of bread, is absolutely ne-
cessary to each of the nations engag-
ed in the present war, Japan exclud-
ed. There are no substitutes "just
as good."
There is evidence that the Chinese
cultivated wheat nearly 5,000 years
ago, regarding it as a direct gift from
heaven. The Egyptians attributed it
to their god, Isis; the Greeks to Ceres.
Concerning the latter, it was believed
that when she had taught her favor-
ite, Triptolemus, how to till the soil
and make bread, she gave him her
chariot, and in that he traversed the
world, distributing corn to all nations.
Wheat -growing in Egypt can, by the
evidence of a grain found imbedded in
the brick of a pyramid, be traced back
to 8850 B.C,
Varieties of wheat are legion. A
French firm in their trial seed grounds
had over six hundred varieties grow-
ing, and since then "crossing" has {n -
creast d the number.
HARD WORKING V.VOMEN
Will Find New Strength Tlv'ough
the Use of lir, Williams'
Pink Pills.
It is useless to tell a hard working
woman to takelife easily and not to
worry. Every woman at the head of
a home; every girl in offices, shops
and factories is subjected to more or
less worry, These cam* be avoid-
ed, But it is the duty of every wo-
man and every girl to save her
strength as much as possible, and to
build up her system to meet unusual
demands. Her fettles health de-
pends upon it. To guard against a
breakdown in health the blood must
be kept rich, red and pure. To keep
the blood in this condition nothing
can equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
They strengthen the nerves, restore
the appetite, bring the glow of health
to pallid cheeks, and renewed energy
to listless people. Women cannot
always restwhen they should, but
they can keep up. their strength and
keep away disease by the occasional
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs.
N. E. Tomsett, Ottawa, Ont„
writes:—"For several years I suf-
fered terribly from nervous debility
and was scarcely able to do a thing.
During that time I consulted several
doctors, and many medicines without
getting any help, and I began to
think that I would never get better.
One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills advertised and thought I would
try them. After taking Veer boxes I
was much better, but I continued
using the pills for several months
when I was again in the best of
health. When I began taking the
pills I weighed only 100 pounds.
While under their use with my re-
newed health I now weigh 140. 1 re-
commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
every one whom I know to be ailing."
You can get Dr. Williams Pink
Pills from any dealer in medicine, or
by mail at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Wil-

SIKH BOY WON FAME.
Queen Victoria Gave Silver Cup to
Ram Singh, Indian Artist.
The story of Sirdar Bahadar Ram
Singh, whose death occurred re-
cently, is that of a Sikh boy, born in
humble circumstances, who rose to
honor and distinction by his own
merit and endeavor and who re-
mained, in spite of that distinction,
unspoiled, a kind-hearted, modest,
genuine man to the end, "L. J." writes
in the Indiainam
Ram Singh, as a lad, attracted the
attention of Lockwood Kipling, father
of Rudyard Kipling, and under the
auspices of the famous Anglo-Indian
artist the young son of a Punjabi cul-
tivator became almost equally widely
known as a designer. Later he suc-
ceeded to Mr. Kipling's post as prin-
cipal of the Mayo School of Art at La-
hore.
In 1891 Ram Singh was ordered to
proceed to England to design and
supervise the decorations of the Dun-
bar Hall at Osborne House. The new
room was to be in Indian style, and
the work was executed with remark-
able beauty and effect. The Queen
took great personal interest in the
work during its progress, and much
admired it on completion. Ram Singh
might have obtained many commis-
sions in England after that, but he
was a singularly unambitious,modest
g Y
man. He loved his work, but in the
strange surroundings he was often
homesick, and in 1892 he returned
to the Punjab with the treasured pos-
session of the silver cup given to him
by Queen Victoria.

UPSET KAISER'S RECORD.
Crown Prince Sceptical About His
Father's Bag of Deer.
The Kaiser and the Crown Prince
have always been more or less at dag-
gers drawn, and an amusing story of
the Crown Prince's "cheek" on one oc-
casion is told in London Tit -Bits. They
were out shooting with a party. At
the end of the day it was announced
that, as usual, the Kaiser had "beaten
all records."
The deer we had "shot" were laid
before him on the ground in a long
line. The photographer's began to get
busy. "Sixty-four head, your Ma-
jesty," announced the head keeper
dutifully in the meanwhile.
The Kaiser made no comment or
contradiction, but suddenly the Crown
Prince chimed in scornfully, "Sixty-
four head ? That's rather funny, con-
sidering you had only sixty cart-
ridges, isn't it, father ?"
"Fathee" bedame black with fury,
but the mischief had been done ; a
good many of the party had over-
heard the remark, as the Crown
Prince had meant they should.
