WHEN DAY IS DONE.


The sinking sun;
A mass of gold and purple in the West;
The drowsy twitterings of birds at rest;
A long, low house that sihouetted stands,
Silent and lone across the meadow lands;
broken silver ring against the sky
Then one belated thrush's far-off cry,
And day is done.

A Feroclou. wild Goose.

Jabez Hackett OF White Plains has probably
shot more wild geese along the reedy shores
OF the Hudson and over tho swampy lands ad-
joining tho river than any other man in West
chester county. But wild geese have been
scarce OF late winters around White Plains.
and when Mr.. Hackett started out yesterday
morning on shooting expedition ho did not
expect to get a shot at any OF the big birds.
and his breech-loader was charged for wild
ducks and rabbits. He was a good deal sur
priseG. therefore, when about six miles from
home he saw a solitary wild goose sailing
high above his head. These birds almost in
variaby travel in fiocks and fly great dis
tances That this one was alone and gradual
ly descending indicated to the practised goose
hunter that it was very tired and had been left
behind by it's companions. He watched 1t I'M
til he could see it no longer and then followed
the course OF its flight. Three miles further
on. he found 1t foating amid II quantity OF
broken ice on the surface Of a small pond. 1t
was easily within range. and when Mr.. Hackett
gave 1t both barrels. though his shot was

He was soon beside his quarry. and Selling IT
by one Of its legs. he attempted to throw II
over his shoulder. Then the bird proved itself
to be worth two dead geese yet; Its right wing
was shattered and it WAS evidently very, old.
but Mr.. Hackett soon wished that he had left
it alone. With its broad. powerful beak 1t
struck him fairly. between this eyes. leaving
a mark that he will carry for some time. and
simultaneously it famed him wickedly on the

In the German army the idea of cloth
ing the soldiers less brilliantly that they
may not be SO perceptible as heretofore
is already taking on practical form. All
non-commissioncd officers of the First
Guard regiment now wear dull gray
overcoats instead of the brilliant red
and black coats formerly in use. At re-
cent reviews these coats have been OBJ
served with care by officers at dis
tance, and have been found to be i'm
perceptible where the old coats are dis
tinctly visible. Whole companies in
the First Guard and other regiments
will receive the gray coats shortly, and
should the following observation be as
satisfactory as those already made it is
expected that the adoption of the gray
instead of the red and black will be-
come general in the infantry. AS re-
CARDS the abolition Of the metal
trimmed helmet, tests are making in
the Prussian infantry, but the results
have not been made public.

Crushed BIZ yIis Geld.

OF misers who rolled in their gold I
have often heard, but it is surely new
experience for one to die from the
pressure Of his accumulated specie,
says writer in the London Figaro. A
poor-looliing, third-class passenger in
the train from Paris to Turin was u
week ago taken seriously i'll rs the lat
ter place was neared. He was still
alive when Turin station was reached,
and was carried OF at once to q sofa in
the waiting-room, where he soon died.
On examination it was found he was
wearing belt containing no less than
thirty thousand francs in gold, and
death had evidently been caused by the
pressure of this belt with it's precious
contents. The dead man had also rou-
leaux of gold under his arInpits, though
he was dressed in rags, and SO far no
clew to his identity has been discov-
cred
