Those who watched thl wonderful
duck noticed that a peculiar growth
waa forming on Its feet. As the weath-
er grew cooler the growth grew mor
and more pronounced. It appeared to
be a thick rartllagtuous substaare
which gradually extended. It looke.'.
like another toe and It wa thought
at first that the bird wa going to b
malformed. But Instead of stopping
when the growth reached the alie ol
the other toe It kept right on. It grew
to te about alx inrhe long and the
nd of It took a curious turn. Instead
of turning down like a claw It curled
up and round In a picturesque loop.
Then It gradually hardened. The duck
had kt- on. The peculiar formation !
wa Just like the "skee" of the Norse-
nien. More thart probably the "keea"
wrre actually patterned after thl
growth. These skate were Invaluable
to the duck In hi native land where
Ice and now. with heavy cruT. cover
the face of the earth and the deep.
Travel by swimming wa largely tied
up by tbi ice. Waddling afuot waa alow
and tedloua. ao kind nature provided
a better and quicker way skating. All
the duck had to do waa to apread out
his immense wing stand firmly on
hi skate and. whig be would go
spinning o.cr the surface of snow and
lee at a high rate of apeed. With the
approach ol warmer weather thse
"skate" fell off and the fret are sim-
ilar to those of any other duck.
VUrrlrl Mr a anil Waatra tllrt.
Whalrier may be the merit of th
c:i one side or the other there ar
two i flection that can be made on thla
n. w fashionable scandal. The first is
la It not time to cry hall to the very Im-
prudent to say the least aetlous of our
young married men and women? When
I said that at Newport aud at places ot
that kind last summer every marrlrd
woman and then I made the honor-
able except ions bad a cavalier and her
husband wa pavlug attention to aome
other man' wife I waa brought roundly
to book for the assertion.
These little f Irtation may bo pla-
tonic -in character. There may be no
harm at the time but when people are
idle and have nothing to do but to eat
drink and be merry the old proverb of
Satan ran lead naturally but to one con-
clusion. I presume as long a thl must
exist In society a long a we must
close our ryes to the far) that otir aln
will be tisiteil on thr Innocent let tia
adopt the ronvrnleut motto of doing
what we will but avoid being found out.
This latter theory of discovery Is the
