DUCKS AND DEDUCTIONS. 
Thf.rf. is a bright-eyed, light-haired lad of 5 
out in the West Adams district who has de¬ 
veloped a faculty for thinking which seems en¬ 
tirely beyond his years and for saying things 
positively startling. 
f The boy and his father were taking a walk 
a few Sundays ago when the wee lad procured 
a fence picket and began to make some re¬ 
markably fine wingshots. With his imaginary 
gun he caught sparrows, pigeons, mockers as 
they flew. Right quarters, straightaway shots, 
drivers and twisters were easy and, in the little 
chap’s mind’s eye, came tumbling when he 
nulled the trigger. 
“Archie.” said the boy’s father, “you must 
get out of that way of thinking. The Creator 
who gave you life also gave it to the animals 
and the birds. The idea of killing them should 
not be allowed to remain in your mind. God 
doesn’t want his birds killed, and you should 
not cultivate the thought.” 
The lad made no reply at the time, but the 
next day his grandmother was astounded to 
hear him say, after several minutes’ profound 
thought: 
“Grandma, if father didn’t know so much 
about God I could have lots of fun duck hunt¬ 
ing.”—Pasadena Star. 
HAVOC WROUGHT BY A CRANE. 
Just because a big blue crane squatted on a 
high voltage wire of the Valley Power Com¬ 
pany's system near Woodland Tuesday that city 
was without power and lights Tuesday night 
and it was away along into yesterday before 
the juice was again skimming over the wires. 
It is needless to say the crane was very prop¬ 
erly electrocuted. 
The crane, says the Marysville (Cal.) Appeal, 
flew into the high voltage wires leading in from 
the main line to the substation, causing a short- 
circuit. The wires snapped and fell across some 
of the distributing wires of the city. These wires 
were unable to carry such a high voltage, and 
as a consequence the wires snapped in several 
different parts of the city and the insulation was 
burned off in many localities. 
Several fires were narrowly averted, caused 
by the burning off of the insulation. Several 
transformers along Main street were put out of 
commission and the forces at the substation 
were blown out. 
Those who witnessed the electrical display 
say that it was a most beautiful exhibition of 
illuminating colors. The, skies were radiant 
with the light and many who were awakened 
from their slumbers thought that the city was 
being visited by another disastrous fire.

Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danyis 
books. No one has pictured the New. Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

Bears I Have Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stones, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women ana 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievements 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, tlie stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.

DISEASES OF DOGS. 
Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is ehtirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.
