Duck Raiser Found Pepiln of Consid erable Value, But He Has Dis continued Its Use. Refusing to cat nny kind of rood offered to them, Charles Koch or Port, Chester, N. Y., concluded that his) ,IIock or one dozen ducks had lylorm of dyspepsia nnd decided to doctor them hluiseir. Ills method wns not) entirely original, for he procured pep sin tablets and, dissolving them In' (water, he contrived to get the fluid) flown their throats with tho aid or n metal tube. Releasing them one by one he snt down In tho houso to scet what happened. ' Almost magical effecta woro noted., Jnstend or declining their usual pro-' vendor, they nte It with avidity nnd; .en me back ror more. Scraps from thoi family dinner table nlso disappeared! In n similar manner. Delighted with' tho success or his experiment Kocbj administered additional doses or fluid: pepsin. Ducks eggs were one result.'. Hut now the entire flock seems to bo always hungry. That has Its dlsn-J .grecab'o reaturcs. Seven o'clock- In the mcrnlng Is the cuatomnry reeding; time for tho ducks, but It Is different now. Tho ducks l.now whero Koch sleeps, nnd they acscmblo under Ills' bedroom window nnd quack In chorus bcrore five o'clock, keeping up the' tlln until ho throws some lood to them. Two hours or so later they re-, mime their clamor. So it goes nil clnv. Koch Is. getting eggs, but ho Is JoHns deep. "Take It rrom me." ho says, "1 have stopped tho pepsin." Pleasant Quarters for French Prisoner A retreat rather thnn a prison Is' the now Institution which has been', raised nl Kvrcux, on tho road from Paris to TrouvIHe, says a correspond.' cnt of th London Globe. It Is ovoid1 In form, much In appearance to that or n largo cantle, and is surrounded by a wall over HO feet In height. It Is situated on high ground over-; looking the town, mid to say the least prisoners should havo n very comfort-' nble time, Each Las his own coll with hnmmopk bed washing utensils nnd n table for books Tho cells are lighted by electricity nnd heated Ir radiators. The auMiorltlcH have not forgotten the spiritual needs of tholi botes. The consideration of tho ministry of Justice ror tho welfare or the prisoners la een by an electric bell at the head of each hammock, an that the detained, if ho be taken sud denly III, can communicate with tho guard. The Spider Cheat. Many species of spiders nro Interest Ing on ncrount or their phvslenl con struction or their habits, but tho most curious specimens nro probablv to bu found In the woods of Sumatra; nnd these nntuialtats call, not without rea son, "spider clients." This Insect. In order to trnp tho flies, etc., on which It feeds, hides on u leaf nnd spins n web of neutral color, making an Il lusion so perfect that tho prey not only docs not fly, but seems uttructed by the peculiar termination of tho web on tho edgo or tho leaf. This Is a perfect knot In appearance and gives to tho trap tho general shape of n miniature palm-leaf fan with Indented handle. Harper's Weekly.

' Although bees nro apt to turn out on any sunshiny day, tho bulk or their ,work Is dono by the tlrst or Novem ber nnd they havo retired ror their winter's sleep. Tho beekeeper must, now nut cushions into the tops of tho hives, tnklng only whal honey he Is sure can bo spared by the bees .and leave them for their hibernation; In Florida there U no such work toj 'do, says n wri'er In O'ttlng. The bees work nil winter, n.'l they huvo ns! good teed in IV,i'ury nnd March as they do In Ju'y. The ornrga orchard nro alive with tho honey g-itherers, and their bc.zings blend Into almost n roar In March, tor that is when tho orungo flowers nro open; but It trust bo confessed that tho honey has a' twang, something Hko the nclduy or nn orange, nndjt docs not compare nl all with that mndo trom tho bass wood. Besides Tho orange there aio huc-4 cesslvo llowetlngs ol legumes or all sorts nil the year, every one hnvlng a' positive flavor and very tew or them' giving to honey a familiar flavor. Yet! Florida Ik n natural homo or the bee, nnd honey In the southern states will! yet become ns lnmlllar n. product as cano sugar. In the Mississippi valley nnd else whero professional beekeepers carry their hives to the couth to meet the coming or the flowers early in tho season, turning around toward tho north nnd carrying them to gather tho later sweet ti rrom later flowering ap-; pies nnd berries. In this way, or by enrrylng them up and down mountain sides, the feedlngspclla on clover or hnsswood nnd other trees can bo greatly lengthened. Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes. OcnllstB havo often cnlled attention to the fact that tho eyes aro easily fatigued by the reflection from white paper, especially when tho surface Is under a strong light, since green la known to be tho color most restful to the ees, It Is a common practice to iibo wall papers and draperies of that color In libraries and private studies. Tor writing paper, however, green I nn unsatisfactory color. It Imparts a. reddish appearance to the writing, nnd makes It hard to read. Yellow writing paper Is not open to tho same objection. In strong day light It Is softer thnn puro white pa per, nnd In nrtlflclal light Is not too dark. Black letters on a yellowish .background show clear and distinct. 'Many mathematicians use yellow pa. per In figuring long nnd difficult ral dilutions, nnd many writers have adopted it for mamiMTlpts, It 1ms the additional merit of cheapness. Youth's Companion.
