And with an Injured air Sangerot paus

he hurriedly continued: "Take my ad

claimed Sangerot. "It Isn't a street at

fUMDneared Mme. Vermandols. who
noasessed a keen sense of the ridicu

and bnrat into a hearty laugh, for the
eounsel given her was so delightfully
unconventional. A - widow of many
years' standing, she bad led a quiet
life, going out but little. Naturally she
desired to marry her daughter off. and
I Wis, Clotllde herself was not s verse to

m inviting him to call and ended by as
suring him that her brother-in-law,
Hector Sangerot, was the real cul
prit, who had advised her to write the
note.
For a minute the artist looked pus
sled, for he had never before heard of
Sangerot; but quickly recovering his
self possession, he said gayly : "Ah. and
so It was Sangerot who- And how is
this dear, delightful Sangerot?"
"Very welt Indeed, thanks, mon
sieur," replied Mme. Vermandols. with
one of her most gracious smiles: "but,
as usual, always In a hurry. Of course,
you understand. It Is a little way of his.
All his friends do:"
"Yes, yes, I .understand perfectly,
madame," answered the artist, who un
derstood nothing at all; but, seeing his
hostess smile, he burst Into a loud,
hearty laugh.
"Well," thought Mme. Vermandols,
as she listened to Dunen's neai of
laughter, "Hector told me that he was
a very serious, grave young man; on
the contrary, he Is quite gay." Then,
continuing her conversation, Mme. Ver
mandols ventured: "I want your ad
vice. My brother-in-law suggested"-r
"Tour brother-in-law !" exclaimed
Dupen, thoroughly amazed.
"To be sure." replied Mme. Verman
dols, somewhat surprised at tbe art
ist's quizzical expression.
"Ah, Sangerot! Your brother-in-law!
les, yes, I understand perfectly."
"A poor widow, M. Dupen, frequent
ly stands In need of counsel."
"Then you are a widow, madnine?"
"Why, certainly. Didn't Sangerot
tell you? Perhaps he hadn't time."
"No, 1 must confess." said Jules Du
pen, bowing profoundly, "that our
friend Sangerot entirely neglected this
detail quite unimiwrtant. however. I
suppose, and in nowise connected with
.the business I have been called upon
to treat"
"Precisely the contrary, sir," said
Mme. Vermandols, "for It was only aft
er my widowhood that my trouble
began. My husband's father possessed
a magnificent picture gallery,
"Ah, here we are at last!" thought
the artist.
"Tbe paintings bad not yet been dis
tributed among tbe heirs when my
dear, darling husband died, and now
his relatives are questioning my
rights.
"It Is positively shocking, madame,'
exclaimed tbe artist sympathetically,
but thinking to himself, "Well, what In
the devil does she expect me to do
about It?"
"They merely consented." continued
the widow. In dolefnl toues befitting
the occasion, "to allow me to have
Greuze, a Fragonard and a series of
sketches by David."
"But those are real treasures, ma-
dame!" replied Dupen enthusiastic

"Then you really think, monslenr"
Inquired Mme. Vermandols.
Jules Dupen was perhaps just on the
point of saying what be really did
think, when Clotllde. in a crisp, pink
organdie gown and looking as fresh
and pretty as a spray of eglantine, en
tered tbe drawing room.
"Sapriste!" said the artist to him.

'The arrival of tbe young girl Inter
rupted the conversation for a few mo

adroitly brought tbe conversation liack
to art and paintings. Mme. Verman
dols listened attentively, entranced by
his eloquence. Sangerot was certainly

Tbe most durable paper Is made by a
guild near Nankin, In China, wblcb
supplies tbe government of that em
pire with the leaves for Its official doc
uments. This paper Is made from
young bamboo tips. It Is soft pliable,
takes Ink well and seems Indestructi
ble. There are samples In collections
which are over 1,000 years old. The
largest assortment of these Chinese pa
pers Is owned by aa editor In Jersey
City, who has nearly 800 different
aamplea. Quit odd are the fireproof
I papers, some or tnese are maae or veg-
table fiber ' Impregnated with tnng-
state of soda.. Others are made of fine
aabestus or of asbestus mixed with
fiber. - '
! Tbese win pass, through a fir un
scathed. They have,- however,- one
drawback. They do not preserve tbe
Ink nsed upon their surface. A sheet
handsomely ' printed, comes out , of a
fire snow white, snd If a writing ink Is
made of any vegetable aubstanc It
shares tbe same fate. Tbe strongest
paper-thus far produced Is made of
manlla hemp. A sheet of legal cap will
sustain a weight of 300 pounds. Its
fiber s so compact that a man of ordi
nary muscular power' cannot tear It
across. It Is used for wills and legal
documents. The finest paper Is a linen
fabric mad tn England. It Is ss light
as tissue paper and yet so strong that
It will stand much wear.
.The oddest printing; papers belong to
the United States. Some years ago an
eccentric scientist published a book In
which be endeavored to give tbe great
est possible relief to tbe eye of tb
reader. ' On page was printed with
one sic of type In black Ink. a second
with a different slaed type In brown
Ink, a third with blue Ink and a fourth
with - maroon Ink. " He applied tb
same principle to tbe texture of tb
paper of each page, wblcb was coarse,
medium or fine, rough finished, smooth
ly finished, calendered or supercalen-
dered, Tbf paper Itself was also tint
ed In every hue, which the publisher
thought agreeable to ,look npon. Tb
book- was not d success, and tbe small
edition wblcb appeared, Is now treasur

To get good results from ducks I be
lieve In a dry, well. Ijgbted and easily
aired house, yards with shallow water
at tbe lower end and a gate to shut tbe
birds out of tbe water until they have
finished laying. The nous should lie
cleaned often and. well, bedded with
clean straw. It will not be possible to
keep It absolutely clean, but the clean
er and drier the bouse the better for
the ducks.. Dirty, damp floors meau
cold feet, and ducks with cold feet do
not do welL . '
For best results In fertility of eggs
think that tb breeders should have ac
cess to water for bathing and exercise
once a day. In handling the ducks or
earing for tbem the attendaut should
be quiet and gentle and accustom the
birds to bis voice. They like to be talk
ed to and seem to understand all that la
necessary of what to said to them. Tb
man who rampages slain bang through
hla duck pens will not get good returns.
I am feeding twice a day with good re
sults In eggs and fertility, considering
the season and the age of tbe birds.
Mash feed Is given exclusively. Grit
and shell are supplied In boxes In the
duck house. - The chicken else grit to
used In preference to larger grit The
grain for tbe mash Is all mixed dry In
the following proportions: Bran, 200
pounds; corn meal, 100 pounds; ground
oats, .100 pounds', low grade flour, 73
pounds; beef scrap, 73 pounds. With
every five palls of this mixture are
used two palls of dry cut clover loosely
packed tn pall. , Tbe clover Is scalded
before mixing with the grain, and
grain and clover are mixed with tbe
warm tea from the scalded clover. The
mssh is fed when cool. Clover la the
only green food fed at present because
no other green stuff is available. Later
expect to try corn fodder. Four or
five ducks art allowed for each' drake
at this time of year, and tb birds num.
ber about 60 to tbe pen. The ration
her given Is giving good results. The
quantity fed depends on tbe appetite of
the birds, They get all they will eat
clean and quickly. ,
pall of water Is kept at either end
of the feed, troughs, and the , ducks
make good use of them. . This brief ar
tide will, I hope, satisfy my friends of

So much ingenuity has been "expend.
ed to; devising--novel and bumorons
races that It grows more difficult er.
try year to discover a new form of
competition. .
' An amusing If not very" elevating!
race was witnessed recently In th de
partment of LotL ' to tb sontb of
France,; The good ladles of a certain
village were invited to compete in a
400 meter race, each wife trundling ber
spouse In a wheelbarrow.'' The spec
tacle wss highly exciting , and, divert
ing, for tb competitors who realised
that they had no cbanc of winning re
lieved their disappointment by tipping
their respective husbands out of th
barrows and tearing them to rub them
selves snd bemoan their m tapis ced con

There ar few prettier and more sur
prising races than tbe ladles' race, or
tack Stakes, ' at Mhow, India. Th
fair competitors rac to a line of ban
kets resting on the ground, and each
one, aa aht reaches her basket, opens
the lid to see what prise awaits ber.
From tb three winning baskets spring
up tiny recruit boy who present pret
ty prises , to the fortunate winner.
while from the remaining baskets there
emerges a veritable menagerie. .From
one a dor soars to the sky;, from an
other a scared cat bolts, and other re
lease geese, partridges, hens, dogs and
hares, which scurry away among tb
crowd amid a babel of sound. .
Tbe hurry scurry race, which to a
feature of every alontreai regatta. Is

competing canoes are anchored some
distance from the starting point, and
at the crack of the pistol tht competi
tors dive Into tb water, swim to their
canoes and paddle away for tbe turn

Again the pistol, cracks, snd each
man throws bis paddle overboard and
springs In after it, regaining hla seat
as quickly as he can. - When tbe pistol

One of tb most amusing of race Is
very popular to certain departments
In tne south of France. Tbe race Is
between boys, each mounted on a mors
or less intractable pig. . With Its well
known perversity, a pig will go la any
direction bat the one desired, and the
efforts of tb rider to head tbe steeds
for tb goal, th collisions, the grants
and squeals, form a combination which
to excruciatingly fanny. . ' ;.
Almost equally amusing are tbe No

military circles In India. In ens very
exciting rac at Bombay a goat passed
