A DOMESTICATED DOE.
The Rare Pet Reared by . Ponnsylvan
farmers Family.

-
Farmers Family.
Ayro Triple, a farmer living near
Scranton. Pa, has a tame doe that was
caught in spring brook forest when
she was very young fawn. Her name
is Kate, and she is as tame as kitten.
She scampers with the sheep and lambs
when she feels like it; grazes with the
cattle, runs about the yard, and has
the freedom Of the farm generally.
Whenever she gets lonesome or be-
comes tired of associating with the
other animals on the farm she marches
right into the house and silently, yet
understandingly, coaxes members of
the family to notice and pet her. If any
of the folks speak cross to her, and tell
her to clear out, she instantly leaves
the room with the air of an injured
innocent, but she will return at once if
a kind word is spoken to her, and al
low her handsome head to be rubbed
and her sleek hide to be stroked. Kate
is very sensitive, for she has been
tenderly reared, and a harsh, unkind
word seems to hurt her feelings as much
as a violent slap on the cheek. She is
never treated in this way except when
some member of Mr.. Triples family
desires to show the visitor how sensi-
tive handsome Kate is, but she has
never been spoiled, and she is as kind
ahd obedient now as she was when she
was pretty fawn five years ago.
During the summer and fall Kate
rambles far enough into the forest to
find companions of her own genus, but
she never remains with them for more
than day or two at time. Until two
years ago she had not stayed away over
night, but she did not put in an appear
ance one stormy night in June and the
family imagined that she had gone
away for good. In the afternoon of
of the following day, however, Kate
came cantering down the slope back Of
the farm buildings, dashed into the
yard, trotted into the kitchen and acted
as if she was delighted to see Mr.. and
Mrs. Triple and all of the children.
She makes frequent visits to the woods,
and once last summer when she ran
down the glade into the clearing at the
top of the hill three gallant bucks were
following her. They came no further
than the edge of the woods, disappear
ing into the forest when they saw that
Kate was bent on returning to her
human protectors. At another time
two bucks were seen with her whsn
she left the woods. Kate has twice
given birth to . single fawn, and last
year che had pair Of twins. Chioags

heard tho nrss noise, and then WITH ne
quent occurrences the cracking Of branches,
but without seeing any thing. Nearer and
nearer came the noise Of the drivers, but no
report OF Q gun was heard; nothing re-
sembhng the breaking through the woods Of
. heavy animal was heard. Now tho
drivers were 90 near me that I fancied /
could see them Ut any moment; believing,
besides. that the driving had been fruitless
! stood there lazy and detected. tho gun
resting on my left arm, when suddenly, .
little above me, something broke through
tho bushes. What thought ct that moment
do not recollect, for thought was COM
pressed into seconds, but ut any rate did
not imagine that this was bear, and, - no
shot was to be fired at any other game, L did
not even raise my gun. The cracking came
nearer, increasing all the while in force,
and suddenly, not fifteen yards distant. q
huge brown bear emerged from the under
brush, coming down upon me in an oblique
line. Without adjusting my gun properly
(for which had not the necessary time)
fired, and with Kissing groan bruin went
down, turning somersault after somersault
But, before had time for . second shot, he
was on his legs again and had disappeared
in tho direction Of tho other hunters. First
my neighbor fired, and then several
other shots followed almost stimuli
taueously. Just when had reloaded, my
neighbor fired another shot and the next
moment the bear emerged from the bushes,
coming for me q second time. He was not
farther than fifteen yards. With my gun
ready stood awaiting his advance. He ap-
preached a few PAGES before he discovered
me. At first he seemed surprised. Then he
reared and made ready for fight. He was
not more than eight PAGES distant and
could sec his small eyes set with blood, and
bloody saliva flowing from his jaws. His
ears were thrown back, and with his mouth
wide open he presented terrible aspect, but
in the presence of imminent danger, my
self-possessiOn returned. I aimed ut the
point between his malicious eyes and fred.
When the smoke cleared away, bruin was
on the ground, his huge frame shaking with
convulsive movements. In little while he
was still, but waited some time with my
gun ready before ventured to approach
him. Then summoned the other hunters
to see my prize, for mine he was, "a had
fred the fatal shot.
It proved to be powerful female bear
weighing eleven pud. The heaviest ever
killed in that country weighed thirteen pud.
She had received eight balls; my first ball
had entered the flank, gone through and
through and made its exit at the other flank
To carry the bear home was task left to
the overjoyed Ivan, who praised my shot
above the eyes. No one was happier than
on our way homeward.
To-day this she bear-stuffed under my
direction-is standing, almost exactly in the
same position as when sent that ball into
her brain, on one Of the steps of my house,
exciting the admiration of every visitor by
her huge frame, powerful steel-like claws
and terrific iaWs.-St Louis RepubNc

A Fatal Race.

The other evening young German
about twenty-five years of age, named
Shelter, was running race at Round Lake
station with one of the Horton boys. As
they reached the goal Shelter fell and
struck against the corner of a platform
and Horton fell on him. The fall caused
an internal rupture, from which the young
man died the next day. The parties who
went to town for coffin had a mishap
also. The team ran away and smashed the
coffin to pieces

PEA-FOWLS At HOME,
How They Arc Regarded by tho Natives
Of British India,


OF British India.
These birds of brilliant plumage run
wild in the Indian jungles, strut freely
about the rice fields, and frequent the
sacred trees along the Grand Trunk
Road. Those that frequent the Grand
Trunk Road and stroll about in the
vicinity of the villages, are almost as
tame and fearless in the presence OF
man as the domesticated ones that 80
proudly strut about the lawn of an
American country-house.
The reason for their tameness is
found In the fact that they also, in
common with many things in both the
animal and vegetable Kingdoms, are
held sacred by the Hindoos. The ma
tives never hunt, brighten or modest
the peacocks in any way, because they
are held sacred to their war-god Kar-
tikeya. In NEUROLOGICAL times, when
the gods made war upon each other,
this deity. the ''God of War;" and Gen.
eralissimo of the Armies of the gods, "
was believed to ride to battle upon a
peacock. In consequence of this ira
dition, the pious Hindoo thinks it sac
rilege to harm the martial fowl, or in
any way to show it disrespect.
The Rajput warriors used to go to
war wearing peacock-feathers in their
turbans, and even now they believe
that these fowls scream when they hear
thunder, because the noise is mistaken
for the din of battle. It was to me a
pretty sight to see these brilliant
plumaged birds stalking about on the
Grand Trunk Road, half-tame in their
sacred security from molestation. As
they strutted proudly about, or stood
still and spread their gorgeous tails, it
seemed to me fit aud proper that such
bright ornaments of the jungle should
be protected from wanton violence at
the hands of man.
In certain districts the British gov
| eminent has made laws forbidding the
shooting of pearfowls by English hunt
! ing parties, or by soldiers from the gar
risons. This is done from the respect
that the Government always desires to
show to the religious prejudices of the
natives. In other provinces, however,
the natives, while they refrain from
molesting the sacred fowls themselves,
offer no objections to the shooting OF
them by English sportsmen.
Where there are no native prejudices
to be consulted, the Government rather
encourages the sport than otherwise.
The officers and soldiers of the garri.
sons are usually keen sportsmen, and
every facility is granted them for pea
fowl hunting, because the sport il con.
| sidered excellent training in tho use
| of firearms. The true Anglo Indian
| sportsman scorns to shoot pea-fow)
with any thing but a rifle, because,
with a shotgun, the sport is little else
than mere slaughter. With q rifle,
however, the killing becomes q matter
of skill, and soldiers who spend . good
share Of their time in shooting at flying
peacoc]ks with their rifles, would be
sure to acquit themselves all tho more
creditably as sharp-shooters a. the
field of battle. Thomas Stevens, IN st.

A Reliable Crop,

Farmers in the section Of Southern
Minnesota where there is great shortage
in small grains find it extremely convent
ent to have few hundred dollars worth
of hogs to send to market. With many of
them hog raising is gradually becoming
the leading farm industry, and with the
facilities for packing farmers can market
their old hogs in summer and fatten their
spring hogs for winter. There is no dis
count on that region as corn-growing Sec
ton, and the tendency is for that crop to
supersede wheat and other precarious crops
just as it has in Illinois, Iowa and Ne
braska.
