For the benefit of Mr.. H. W. Bane, as well as
the public I wish to say that we have been using
Hair Spring Invalid Mattress for some months,
manufactured by Mr.. Bane. 1t is Of the folding
form, and my wife has been confined to the
room and house for months, but since she com
menced using this mattress, she gained strength
sdmmediately. and is constantly improving. We
also have one of his Folding Double Mattresses,
and there cannot be said too much in behalf OF
its good qualities, which are only known from
its actual use.

A Goose Story.

The New Orleans Times is responsible for
the following:
Three winters ago. on a stormy and tenn
pestuous evening IN autumn. a friend then
residing in Arkansas had his attention at
tracted by loud and singular noise in his
yard. Going out, he saw large flock of
geese overhead. steadily winging their flight
southwark, and on the ground lay a large
gray goose, seemingly in the agonies Of
death. On examination he found one Of the
wings broken, and the bird wounded in va
rious places. From the nature of the in
juries 1t was supposed to have been hurt in
n squable with its companions. The gentle
man brought all his surgical skill to bear on
the wounded fowl, and with such success
that it recovered rapidly. 1t became the
general pet of the whole family, and mixed
with the tame geese as lift had never known
a wider circuit than the farm pond and
meadow. But at last when the old season
of migration rolled round again, instinct
became too strong for the newly acquired
civilization. The goose disappeared, to the
distress of the household and the chagrin of
its master, who blamed himself for not cut
ing its wing. Last fall, and again on a
stormy night, the family were awakened by
terrible quacking and sereeching. as if a
million of geese were elamoring for admit
tance. When they went out an immense
flock of fowls seemed hardly ten wards from
the ground, and in the centre of the yard
stood 30 geese. Quacking loud farewell
the main Hook passed on, leaving the singu-
lar guests, headed by the grav goose The
farmer recognized as his old protege. He
opened the door of the pen. The goose
marched into her old quarters, followed by
her brood. Next day the gentleman secured
their stay by cropping their wings; and
apart from little restlessneSs at stated sea-
sons, they have remained with him ever
since. The accuracy of this tale Is not to be
doubted, but the greatest singularity con-
sists in these geese leaving the main fiock in
mid career, and being escorted to the chosen
resting place."
