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 day snow—lio more duck. You buy urn duck, my flioud ! “ 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 see 'em foot, me see ’em bill, but him good duck, all same. My fliend, you see las’ summer heap dry. You no for get how all creek, all riber dry upt ’’ “No, I don’t forget; but what has that to do with it? These are mud-lit ns all the same ” “ No, my fliend, him good duck. You see riber all dey up ; no more swim for duck; him begin to get foot like chick en, walk on ground. All water dry up but few drop in bottom river ’mong rock. Duck him wear him bill to sharp point ’mong stone tryin’ to get water. You see, my fliend ; good duck." “I see," said the rancher.— Virginia (AYr.) Enterprise. 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.

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. A Dug Hite Fata! After 35 Vears.
