A LIE WHICH BECAME FAMOUS.

Origin of the Baying:'‘And It Wasn't a Good Day for Ducks,- Either.” In 1860, the year before the war, a party of Northern Illinois hunters hied themselves to the lakes of Minnesota for ah annual duck hunt of a few weeks, says the St. Louis Globc-Demorrat, making the journey to St. Paul, which was at that time but little more than a frontier village, by a steamer from Dubuque, lowa. Among the party was a chap named Truax, a proverbial liar, but a jolly, good-natured fellow withal, Whose predominant weakness was readily excused, if not entirely overlooked, Iby those who knew him well. Abe, that being his first name, seemed to struggle more recklessly and naturally with tiie truth when talking about his prowess as a hunter of game than on any other subject. One afternoon, as the steamer was plowing its way through Lake Pepin, a number of the male passengers were seated forward on the boiler deck in little knots, passing the time away in conversation. Abe was a prominent figure in one of the groups, and had already astonished himself fairly by the whoppers he had successfully got of, when the subject of duck hunting, the mission which himself and friends were out on, was advertised. “I’ve shot a few ducks in my time,” broke in Abe* during a momentary lull in the talk. “How many did you ever kill in one day?” queried a crosseyed passenger from down about Burlington. “You may not believe me, sir,” replied Truax, “but in the late fall of ’57 I went out alone one morning about seven miles, with my dog and gun, and brought home 200 ducks bv actual count, and it wasn’t a very good day for ducks, either!” “You did that all alone, and in one trip?” asked the cross-eyed man as he put down some figures on an envelope with a pencil he had carelessly taken from his vest pocket. “Yes, sir, I did,” said Truax, with a tinge of ill-humor to his tone. “Those ducks would weigh about two and a half pounds apiece, wouldn’t they?” casually remarked the Burlington man, as he kept on making characters with his pencil. “I should say they would,” remarked the unsuspecting Abe. “Well, then,” said the persistent querist, “you killed just 650 pounds of ducks; and if you can tell me how one man is able to lug that weight seven miles, and carry a gun at the same time, you can do something that no other bar in the Northwest can match.” Abe reflected a minute; and with “That’s a whopper, isn’t it, gentlemen ?’’ he invited the whole party in to the bar to take something at his expense. The remark “And it wasn’t a good day for ducks, either,” was used banterjngly on Truax during the remainder of the trip, and in time it became common oa the Mississippi, whence it spread until it became one of the proverbial Americanisms of the times.

Impurities Found in Ice.

Questions as to the dangers to health connected with the use of ice taken from certain localities are of great interest, the more so since disease produced by the use of contaminated ice could rarely be traced to its true cause, which in most cases would probably not be even suspected. Attention was, in fact, not called to this matter until 1875, when an epidemic of diarrhea at Eye Beach, N. H., was clearly traced to ice cut from a contaminated pond. Since that time the same cause has been suspected or proved in about half a dozen cases of occurrence of typhoid fever or of diarrhea. Certainly this is a very small proportion of bad results as compared with the almost universal use of ice, especially when we remember that people will cut ice from streams or ponds that they would consider too impure to furnish drinking water, because they think freezing purifies water. While the purification of water by freezing does occur to a considerable extent, it is by no means complete or to be relied on. Freezing does not destroy the vitality of some bacteria, nor does it specially tend to free the water from dead organic matter. That freezing will not destroy the life of the bacill us of typhoid fever is shown by Dr. Billings. It will be seen from what has been said that when a health authority is called on to decide whether the water of a particular stream or pond is or is not so impure that ice cut from it will probably be dangerous to health, it can only proceed on probabilities, since it will very rarely be possible to prove that ice taken from that particular locality, or even the water from the same place, has caused disease. Nevertheless, these probabilities may be quite sufficient to warrant the forbidding the sale of ice taken from a particular spot. This seems to have been the case as regards ice cut from Onondaga Lake, which the city Board of Health of Syracuse, in New York, forbade to be sold for any use which would bring it into direct contact with articles of food or drink. The firm engaged in packing and selling this ice objected to this interference with their business, whereupon Mr. James T. Gardner investigated the matter for the State Board of Health, which has published his report. Mr. Gardner found that Onondaga Lake is contaminated with sewage ; that the contamination is increasing from the sewers of Syracuse, and that ice taken from it contains living bacteria of various kinds, and about ten per cent, of the sewage matters in the water from which it is formed. He, "therefore, approves the order of the city Board of Health, and the propriety and wisdom of this decision can hardly be questioned.—Sanitary Engineer. A patented invention, called the the art -of- writing possible in the absence hr uselessness of the hand. It is therefore serviceable in cases of writers’ cramp and of paralysis of the fingers. The instrument, is of simple construction, and consists of a long, light strip of iron, curved so as to be easily adapted to the ulnar border of the forearm. This Splint is Bewed into a casing of supple leather materia], shaped so as to form a kind of gauntlet or sleeve for the forearm. The. gauntlet is fastened to the forearm by an ingenious arrangement of screw-hooks

and studs, allowing of an adjustable degree of pressure. The bar or splint carries at its lower end a mechanism with a universal joint by means of which a pen may bebeld in any desired position. With this instrument the act of writing is performed by the muscles of the arm and shoulder, while those of the digits and thumb are thrown completely out of usa It is easy to acquire the necessary dexterity in the use of the invention for legible “handwriting.”

Look Out for Your Wells.

It becomes more and moro evident each year, says the American Agriculturist, that much of the sickness prevalent in the country is directly attributable to the quality of the water. By carefully studying the matter it is found that in nine cases out of ten typhoid fevers originate in families whose water supply is from a well into which impure water comes. This may be fiom the farm-yard, and quite generally such is the case. For some years the water in a well near the house may be pure and wholesome, but by-and-bv the soil between it and the barnyard will become so impregnated with pollution that an unhealthy quality will be imparted to it, and disease will result from its use. This is almost sure to be the case when the distance between the two is not great, because, as a general thing, the bottom of the'well is lower than the yard, and the drainage from the latter will extend in all directions through the most porous strata of soil, and when it reaches the well it will naturally flow into it as a reservoir. No matter how pure the water may have been when the well was first dug, sooner or later it will be contaminated by water flowing through the soil from barnyards and cesspools located anywhere near it. We have in mind a case in which four children d'ed from diphtheria. An examination by the physician proved that the slops from the kitchen had so filled the soil for a distance of twenty feet between the back door, out of which they were thrown, and the well, that the water in the latter was polluted by foul gases, and from the use of it diphtheria had certainly resulted. When making a well have it, if possible, above the barn-yard, and let the drainage be from it rather than into it. Arrange a place for slops, with cement bottom and sides, from which glazed p : pes, cemented together, allow the unhealthy matter to flow back and away from the well.

It Broke Up the Game.

In 1862 six railroad conductors sat down to enjoy a game of draw in a room in the second story of a building locatedjabout where the National Hotel now stands. Having no poker chips they utilized watermelon seeds. The man who acted as banker placed the melon seeds in a glass goblet, after counting them, as the floor was well covered- with seeds which could be used by any player who might run short. After proceeding a few minutes the goblet cracked, making a sharp report which did not attract much attention, however. The seeds were placed in another goblet which shortly afterward cracked with quite a sharp ring. At this one of the players shook his head and said: “Toys, that’s enough for me. I’m through. ” The others laughed at him and insisted on hi 3 continuing the game, but no go: superstition had close hold on him. The third goblet was then filled with the seeds and terminated with the same crack as the two preceding goblets, and so on until the sixth and last goblet in the room had cracked. Several who were members of ,the party now reside in Atlanta, and some of them are yet running passenger trains and can vouch for the correctness of the story I have told. I wish some one would explain the affair. Maybe we can get the facts when the glass factory begins to run.— Atlanta Constitution.

The Chances a Woman Has to Marry.

A man who has studied the various phases of the matrimonial market has come to the conclusion that every woman has some chance to marry; it may be one to fifty, or it may be ten to one she will. Kepresenting a woman’s entire chance at 100, he has made out the following table to show the chance at certain points of time: Between the ages of 15 and 20 years, 141 per cent. Between the ages of 20 and 25 years, 52 per cent. Between the ages of 25 nnd 30 years, 18 per cent. Between the ages of 30 and 35 years, 15A per cent. Between the ages of 35 and 40 years, 3f per cent. Between the ages of 40 and 45 years, per cent. Between the ages of 45 and 50 years, | of 1 per cent. Between the ages of 50 and 60 years, i of 1 per cent. After 60 it is 1-10 of 1 per cent., or 1 chance in 1,000. —New York Observer.

Salaries of New York Teachers.

The salaries paid New York teachers are scarcely princely, when one considers the cost of living here. The salaries of the male assistant teachers range from $2,016 to SI,OBO. The salaries of the female assistants range from $1,116 to $633 in male grammar schools, from $1,086 to $603 in mixed grammar schools, from $1,056 to $603 in female grammar schools, and from S9OO to $504 in primary departments tad schools. Prin cipals’ salaries run up as high as $3,500 or $4,000. All male assistant teachers of less than one year’s experience receive $720 the first year, and females S4OB. —New York Journal

White Malleable Iron Ore.

A-writer upon the products of Arkansas, says- “The most remarkable and interesting mineral of all this region is the white malleable iron ore, regarding the existence and malleability of which a great deal of skepticism is said to exist. It is fonnd in the corner of Howard County, adjoining the frontier of Montgomery, Folk, and Pike,” — Exchange. The Erie Canal was opened in 1825; the old Middlesex Canal had been in successful operation for over . twenty years at that date.

Curious Tim epieces.

A visit to the Patent Office in Washington, not long ago, gave us, more than ever before, a realizing sense of the number and variety of mechanical contrivances which have been produced for the purpose of marking the passage of time. Clocks of all sizes and shape may be seen with all kinds of motive power, from the simplest to the most complex and costly. Of these none are of more general interest, perhaps, than the clocks which consist of a plain, glass dial suspended by a fine thread or wire, having the motive power—an ordinary watch movement — concealed in the central bars of the hands, or in the enlarged counterbalance bf one of them. Another contrivance in this line consists of two circular plates of glass mounted in a metal frame or border, and connected by a slender column or foot to a pedestal. In these the figures are marked on the front plate, which is cemented to a brass rim, toothed as a crowned wheel, and driven by & pinion, the stem of which rises from the works in the pedestal. Where three glass plates are used, the short and long hands are fixed to the second and third .plates, and two pinions drive the two head rims of these two plates. An ancient relic of the clock order is now in possession of a citizen of Marietta. Wis. It is 235 years old, and keeps good time. The weight which runs the musical part weighs fifty pounds, and the movement is of wood, lead, and iron. It plays a piece every hour, but is rather hoarse at present from old age. The dial is large, and has the paintings of William Penn describing his history. At the top are five wooden • musicians dressed in uniforms, who raise their instruments to their lips as they begin to play. The case is of maple and mahogany. It was made in the year 1649.

Man Wants a Tonic

When there is a lack of elastic energy in tho system, shown by a sensation of languor and unrest in the morning, frequent yawning during the day, aud disturbed sleep at night. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters infuses unwonted energy into the enfeebled and nervous, endowing them with muscular energy', an ability to repose healthfully and digest without inconvenience. Nervousness, hoadache, biliousness, fmpaired appetite, and a fSeble, troublesome stomach, are all and speedily Bet right by this matchless regulator and invigorant. The mineral poisons, among them strychnia and nux vomica, are never safe tonics, even in infinitesimal doses. The Bitters answers the purpose more effectually, and can be relied upon as perfectly safe by the most prudent. Fever and ague, kidney troubles and rheumatism yield to it. The recent voyage of the electric launch Volta across the British Chanj, nel, from Dover to Calais and back, w regarded as a scientific success far in advance of what was expected. The Volta is built of galvanized steel plates, and her deck is nearly on a level with the water. Below tho deck are placed the electric accumulators. These are little square boxes, about Bxl2 inches, and are wedged closely together to prevent shifting. The propelling power consists of sixty-one accumulators and a pair of Beckenzann accumulators, also placed beneath the floor, so that the whole of the boat is available for passenger accommodation. The power of the motors may be varied at will from four to twelve-horse power, while the screw propeller makes from six hundred to one thousand revolutions a minute. When the boat reached Calais it was found that the amount of electricity remaining in the accumulators warranted the return journey in being attempted. The speed reached was fourteen miles an hour, and so noiseless w r as the little vessel that in midchannel the pilot, observing a seagull asleep on the water, steered close to it, and one of those on board caught the bird by the neck and brought it alive to Dover.

The Queen.

If Moxie Nerve Food can take the place of drugging and stimulating, it has come to stay, and many of the doctors say it actually does. After thirteen or fourteen months on the market its sale is said to be the largest ever known. The large cities are talking Moxie lorever, and every nervous woman or overworked person thinks it is the last half of everything that has just been found. Poor little Moxie weed, it never dreamed before that it was saon to be queen of the medical world. ~ Another method of utilizing paper is the process of manufacturing paper rails, which is to be adopted in the pa-per-rail works at St. Petersburg. It is claimed that these can be ihade at onethird the price of steel rails, and that they are very durable, the paper being condensed by great pressure. Being lighter than metal they can be carried and laid at much less cost They are made of greater length than ordinary rails, and the oscillation, and wear and tear of rolling stock will be proportionately diminished. The question of durability will be the principal one to be settled. Bodily pains are instantly relieved by (be use of St Jacobs Oil. Dr. It. Butler, Master of Arts, Cambridge University, England, sayß, “It acts like magic. ” The paper pipes for water and gas recently exhibited in Vienna are rolled from sheets of paper and coated on the inside with an enamel, the composition of which is a secret. In winding, the paper is soaked in melted asphalt, and the pipe is painted outside with asphalt varnish and dusted over with sand. It is claimed that the pipes will resist an internal pressure of 2,000 pounds, although the material is only about half an inch thick. Recent attempts of German photographers to photograph a projectile in the course of its flight have been successful in showing the head of condensed air which precedes every shot. It is this head which is supposed to jaflYßirtißyen gkllMTilUHamairbm- hft--ting an empty egg-shell when hung on a long thread. The air blows the shell out of the way of the bullet.

Cake and Theology.

A Detroit lady was teaching her baby girl the prayer: “Now I lay me.” She had learned it as far as “If I should die," when there was company expected to tea, and the little one was given her first lesson in table etiquette. “Now, don’t • forget to say ‘lf you please’ when you want anything,’ commanded the mother. “Me won’t fordet,” answered the baby. £ But she forgot all about it, and asked for the cake without any prefix. “If”—prompted the mother. “If I should die. Now div me turn cake,” responded the wee one promptly.—Detroit Free Pressc

Especially to Women.

“Sweet is rovenge, especially to women,” said the giftod but naughty Lord Byron Sturdy he was in bad humor when he wrote such words. But there are complaints that only, women suffer, that are carrying numbers of them down to early graves. There is liopo for those who suffer, no matter how sorely or severely, in Dr. R. V. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription.” Safe in its action, it is a blessing 4 especially to women- and to mon, too, for when women suffer tho household is askew. The enormously large hats worn by some very little girls make it difficult to decide which there is the more of—hat or child.

Posterity vs. Ancestry.

It is no longer questioned, it is admitted, that th.e bloou of man is improving. The children of to-day are better formed, have better muscle an i richer minds than our ancestors. The cause of this fact is due more to the general use of Dr. Harter’s iron Tonic than any other source. For dyspepsia, indigestion, depression of spirits, and general debility in their various forms; also as a preventive against fever and ague and other intermittent fevers, the “Fer-ro-Phosphorated Elixir of Cal sava,” made by Hazard, Hazard & Co., New York, and sold by all (Iruggis’s, is tho best tonic, and for patients recover.ng from fever and other siexaess it has no equaL Relief is immediate, and a cure sure.
