Piute Jim’s Ducks.
N Indian was in
I town yesterday
/ 11 \ I with a few
/—j LJ ducks. He said:
' 'J?'**' j 7* “Putty soon
duck all gone—
VTV no more. You
Vr-' like buy uta,
}]///&£• my fliend? Piii
— Zty soon all gone.
O ’ No many duck
this yealt. Bad yeah for duck. Cold
wedther coming how ; maybe one two

“ But, - Jim, plenty of ducks will come
over from California pretty soon,” said a
bystander.
“ No, my fliend,” said Jim, “no duck
cornin' from California. No duck coinin’
down from Oregon this y< all. Oregon
duck all dead ; cole winter las’ yeah him
kill imi. You buy urn my duck, my
fliend ?—las’ one, to-morraall gone ?”
An outsider, who bore the appearance
of a rancher, now stepped up and put iu
his oar, stying to the Indian: “You
call them things ducks?”
“Yasb, my fliend—Rue fat duck.
Yon buy uni—to-mr,rl‘a no more duck ;
all gone, tty away,” waving his hand to
the southward.
“ Y'ou can’t play mud-hen oft' on me
for ducks, old fellow,” said the rancher.
“ You call urn mud-hen ?” cried Jim
wrathfnlly.
“Yes, certainly I do. What else are
they? Look at their feet—look at their
sharp bi'ls! ”
“ Yash, my fliend,” said Jim, “me

“No, I don’t forget; but what has

Perpetual Motion.
The man with a perpetual motion ma
chine has at last got a friend nt court iu
the person of Chief Clerk Lipscomb, of
the Patent Office. He says:
“Perpetual motion is an assure 1 fact.
We have models now at work that will
keep at work continually until the wear
and tear of the machinery stops them.
The machines so far have sufficient
power to run themselves from now till
doomsday, but they have not the sur
plus power that could lie used on other
machinery. This is the point now that
the perpetual motion man will have to
work on. Some day a machine will
come here that will lia'e the required
pow- r to keep other machinery going,
and it may come at any time.

THE FID ON THE TREE.
The Green Fig Nothing but a Mas*
of Flowers.
Most of you who read this have eaten
figs, dried and pressed flat and put i.t a
box. Few have seßn them growing;-
Those who have know that they seem to
bud out from the ends of twigs without
the sign of a bio som.
Unadorned by calyx or coiro’la, the
little bud-like lig assuur- s a pear shape,
which it maintains to maturity. But
does the tig tree bloom? Yes, within
the fig itself. “Full many a flower is
born to blush unseen,” but not to “waste
its sweetness on the desert air,” for
sweetness of flavor and b. auty of color
are developed and stored away by this
hidden inflorescence.
Let one who cares to be curious take
a small green lig, cut it lengthwise.
Now, with a good glass examine the cav
ity that is found within. Notie > that the
cavity is not quite c’osed at the upper
or larger end of the tig, and that a \6rv
small ihsi ot could easily puss into and
e ttt of it:
I tet the observer now examine the
Walls of the cavity. He will find it com
posed mostly of densely packed thread
like projections, pointing upward to
ward the opening. A little acquaint
ance with the parts of a perfect flower
will enub'e oue to dissect those tinea's,
and discover in them the essential
parts of a perfect flower. After study
ing those minute flowers, examine the
projections near the orifice; notice that
there is a circle of them that are not so
long and are bioader thau those just ex
amined, and by careful study will bo
found to consist of parts of a flower,
st rile in themselves, but necessary to
the other parts below. It will be no
ticed, too, that they point downward, as
if to meet the fertile projections.
Now the observer will see that the
green flg is nothing but a mass of flowers
a most completely enclosed in a fleshy
receptacle. Let him now take a fully
matured flg. Upon opening it will be
found manses of s.e 1 enclosed iu
succulent pericarps iu the place of the
fertile flowers, while the sterile seem to
have dried away. The manner in which
tiio tig blossoms are hidden away in their
receptacle renders them more tIiHU or
dinarily difficult to fertilize, and proper
ly owiug to this difficulty such a thing
as a barren tig tree has become his
toric.
It is no uncommon o -currence for fig
trees to cast their fruit before maturity,
which is no d<. ut owing to imperfect
fertilization.
In many parte of Asia they have long
practiced placing branches of the wild
tig, iu flower, over the cultivated tig
tree, to insure fertilization and maturity
of the fruit. Insects are known to have
entered the receptacle us described
above, and by this means pollen from
other trees bus been kuown to fertilize
the cultivated varieties, and acting upon
this fruit in some place, small sticks are
thrust into the opening ia the recept
acle.
We propagate tigs now from cuttings.
Why can we nut prop gate them from
the seed, and by er ta fertilization vast
ly improve the varietii s which cannot be
done from cuttings. —Oxannkle ijtar,
A Reptile Wreath.
On a frosty morning a few days ago,as
Mr. Jere. Fenton,of South Ot augo,
wns wa king with liis little nine-year-old
daughter iu a small plantation near his
house, lie saw what looked like a wreath
of vnriegttteu uords lying at the foot of
a tree. It was about ten inches in
diameter and perfectly circular. Sup*
posing that some children at play in the
wood had woven it,and carelessly thrown
it away, he picked it up and playfully
crowned his little girl with it; but there
was a cold, clammy feeling about the
thing that the child did not like at ail,
and as it touche I her forehead she
hastily shook it oft'. Then Mr. Fenton
made a more careful examination, and
was considerably startled to find that
wliat ho had mistaken for a cordage
wreath was very much like a double
hen led sake. The two heads were ex
actly opposite each other on the circular
brand, but Mr. Fenton soon perceived
that each head was attached to a separate
body. The vatiega ed ring was, in
faolj twd snakes that had mixed them
selves lip, as a sort of mutual benefit
society, for the winter. Their tails
were not visible because each had sival
loed the caudal extremity of the others
and ns much of the upper anatomy ns it
could stuff down its throat. Only when
the increased size of the body it was de
voming, caus >d by the presence of its
own tail, put a stop to further degluti
tion had either serpent ceased its efforts.
Then, forming a tight warm circle to
(iefv the cold, they had sunk into a tor
por. Mr. Fenton lias lmng the curious
garland to a rafter iu his barn.
