TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
.
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

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.

BEES AT WORK ALL THE TIME
In Many Localities, There Is No
Closed Season for Those In- '
defatig.ible Laborers. '
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.
