HEREDITY IN GEESE.
A Transmission of Terror To the Third Anser-
inc Generation

A TRANSMISSION OF Terror To the lhtrd AnSeT-
inc Generation.
A correspondent of the. Revue Scien-
Unique voaches for the following story:
For about twenty years he was in the
habit OF visiting two or three times each
year where was kept flock of geese, mum
bering from thirty to thi1ty-tiv in the
early part OF the winter, and in the
spring four or five left for breeding pur-
poses; these also generally being killed q
few months later, after the new broods
had attained their grotuh. In the month
of July, 1862, on a feast-day, the farmer
and his men being absent, the geese weee
forgotten sn6were sttacked by dogs, which
killed many of them. The next evening
at twilight the farmer thought they must
have been attacked a second time He
found them flying about in the pen much
frightened, but tbs dogs were nowhere to
be seen. The next day the terror reaI-
pesred at the same hour, as ii did on the
following day, and from that tins on.
The correspondent of the Revue Il for
goSten this fact when, ten years later, he
chsnced to be on the farm one evening,
and heard the cackling of the apparently
frightened geese. When he asked fer
an explanation, he was told that this hsd
been kept mp from the time they had
been attacked by the dogs; that there had
been no repetition of the attack, and
that the flock mad been renewed in the
meantime ct least three times II this
story Is well authenticated, We have a case
of the Transmission of terror to abe thir6
generation in family OF geese.

To the Boys of Arcadia Valley.

Dear FelloUS-What Mr.. Thomson COM
plains of in the last REGISTER Is true. We
should not kill the little birds, most espec-
Tally the singing birds. They beautify our
valley and We ought to be proud of the at
Effectiveness of Arcadia Valley, Ehiah cop-
tains the town of Pilot Knob, the county
seat, Ironton, and the village of Arcadia, the
oldest of the three, by twenty years my
father says. He says that what Mr.. cold
Times" Russell says in the REGISTER about
the game being so plentiful all over the hills
around the Valley before any OF US fellows
were born is true, too. That must be long
time ago for L am fourteen going on fifteen
and l don't remember it. He says DR..
Moore, who lived in the house where old
lady widow Moore now lives, near the Fort
Hill Church, used to keep pack of fox
hounds aad used to go hunting with them
at night, but my father ae%er cared to go
with him, because in his country Ureiand1
they always hunt by daylight when they can
see to leap the hedges and bitches and not
break their horses necks. Now at this, our
end of the Valley, we have some good boys;
neighOoEs who are fond of hunting at night.
They were not born mere. but they are good
boys, and l don't believe they kill little birds.
don't kill anything smaller than a hawk or
crow, but 1 have shot at blue bird for
keeping the martins away from the martin
box, because the martins protect my moth
er's chickens from the hawks.
iiSs t- spare the singing birds because
my father says one ti.ns after the war he
moved back near st. Louis from this Valley,
and he was forced to lie abed long time to
let his leg JOIN again where it had been cut
with scyth by neighbor, Capt. Sanford
who was trying to NOW our lawn and he cut
the tendon of fathers heel in two. So my
papa could not go to his studies in the city,
and he lay on his back every day listening to
the birds singing in the trees around the
cottage. twas in Babiche (Stringtown)
now called MaIysville, South St. Louis. So
boys lets US all refrain from killing the small
birds.
Iwish we had sheep instead of hogs in the
Vale of Arcadia, and that Mr.. Thomson
wouldn't say. he came "down" to Arcadia
when he comes up from st. Louis on the
Mississippi river o his Valley Home In the
Ozark Ountains.

COIOred Society Notes.

The closing exercises of the school took
place as announced on the 10Th inst, before
a large audience of visitors. The room was
deliberately decorated with bunting and flow
ers of various hues. The pupils, about
thirty five in NUMBER, were formed into line
at 2:30 p. NJ. and marched into the room to
the tune, "Pull for the Shore Sailor" etc.
In front of the procession was borne
mounted chart, containing a picture of Alb
raham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proc
lamaion. After going through with the
manoeuvures of a well prepared drill the pu-
pills were seated in order. After brief re-
marks by the teacher the oral exercises were
introduced and gone through with, In very
creditable manner. At the conclusion of
these exercises the teacher, with evident
pride and great earneStness, introduced the
written exercise as wholly the result of bis
teaching for the past four sessions the aver.
age age of the pupils who were undergoing
examination when he took charge of the
school in the fall of 1885 was seven years,
hence there were none of the % who read
letters and essays, able to write any at the
time he took charge Of the school. The let
tiers received an average grade of g. Sever
al received grade of %, and two of the ex-
ercIses written respectively by Dolly Sweezie
and Alma johnson received grade of 80.
After reading the written exercises the
climax was reached and lime was called for
the spelling contest between the "Persian
Guards" and the "Median Knights" ten on a
side. After hotly contested fight the Per=
slams were declared to be the winers. The
Persians were lead by p. l.. Martin and

| 1t will he of interest to some of our local
baseball celebr titles to learn that Judge
Ellison, Of the Kansas City Court has recent
ly rendered an opinion affirming the decision
of the lower court holding that base ball
playing on Sunday is illegal and in viola
tion of the law. The case had been appealed
from the Randolph county circuit court,
where the defendant had been indicted, for
Sunday ball playing, under section 1850 OF
the Revised Statutes which reads as fol-
lows: "Every person who shall be convict
ed of horse racing, cock-fghting or playing
at cards or of games of any kind on the first
day of the week, commonly called Sunday,
shall DE deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and fined not exceeding $50" The defence
maintained that base ball was not included
within the meaning of "games of any Kind"
Judge Ellison, in his opinion, after first
making the point that base ball was certainly
"game" within the meaning of the phrase,
still further pointed out that the evident in
tention of the statute was not to prevent
the game as viciols in itself, but to prevent
its being played on Sunday: i. e., that the
intent was clearly to preserve the quiet of
the Sabbath from Dissertation. Therefore
the decision of the lower court was affirmed.
However, we do not wish to be understood
as endorsing the decision. In our opinion
that religion which subsists by reason of the
power within itself needs no legislative en-
actment to enforce its precepts. This is
said to be a land of religious liberty-that is
to say man may profess any or no religion,
just as suits him best A court would
have Just as much right to try and punish a
man for holding to no religious creed as it
has to punish him with differing from the |
belief Of the majority. The right to self
choice as to the manner of "resting" 80 |
long as it does not trespass upon the peace |
and quiet of the neighborhood-is an in
one, and one that must and will
De preserved to our children, or mayhap
heir children will have not even the sem
blance of "religious liberty"
