HARES AND RABBITS.


Naturalist Hornaday Describes Their APP
pearance and Habits.
Like the true fur-bearing animals, all
the varying hares have two kinds of
hair-a dense, fine and downy-soft I'M
der-fur, through which grows a thin
coat of coarse, straight hair. Usually
it is the latter which gives the ami nal
its color. In summer these long hairs
are black; but in the fall, as winter APP
proaches, they actually turn white.
The brown color of the summer coat is
due to the shedding of the coarse hair
in early spring, which allows the color
of the under coat to predominant for a
time.
The habits of varying hares and rab-
bits are so much the same that one ref
erence to them is well-nigh sufficient
for all. These creatures all require
brush, rocks, or rugged ravines in
which to hide from the wolves, foxes,
hawks, owls, and other enemies they
are powerless to fight. When mem

the Story Of a We teran's Sc arch.
How Fred Taylor, q Member of the Gal
liant 1s9th N. Y, v. l., Finally Found
What He Has Sought Since
tho War Closed.
(From the A,htabuIa, Ohio, Beacon.)

(From the AshtabuLa, Ohio, Bedcon.)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmira, N. Y, and from there en-
listed in the 1s9th regiment, N Y, V. L.,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr. Tay-
lor contracted chronic diarrhoea from which
he has suffered now over 30 years, with abb
solutely no help from physicians BY
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
iments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour day on an average, and
he was reduced to skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief in change of
climate and removed to Geneva, O., but the
change in health came not. Finally on the
recommendation of f. J. Hoffner, tho
leading druggist of Geneva, who was cog
infant Of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try a
box. GAS a drowning man grasps at a
straw so took the pills" says Mr.. Taylor,
''but with no morehope of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless search
for relief l at last found it in DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. The day after 1 took the first
pills commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box Twas in fact a new
man." That was two months ago. Mr..
Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
his progress is steady and he has the utmost
confidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well as
In his youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he Is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work
As he concluded narrating his sufferings,
experience and cure to Beacon reporter,
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many, years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills.
ITO the pills alone is due the credit of rails
ing Mr.. Taylor from ahelplessinvalid to the
man he is to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui

they will cheerfully answer, us they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done forthem and that

HISTORICAL PARROTS.
Talking Birds Who Delighted King
Queens and Commoners

Talking Birds Who Delighted Kings,
Queens and Commoners.
The very oldest parrot story on rec
ord comes down from Queen Elizabeth
day. She owned a fine talking bird,
gifted with so much wit and good sense,
her majesty was far fonder of him than
her hawks and greyhounds.
He wore a ruff of bright ribbons
about his neck, little gold bells on his
feet, was an astonishing acrobat, and
sitting on his royal mistress shoulders
would give saucy answers to the noble
ladies and gentlemen to whom her
majesty gave audience.
One day when the queen went on
water party in the royal barge,
whether in fright or frolic, Polly, who
had been providing about the boat, fell
at last plump into the river.
ferryman, seeing the mishap, bold
ly jumped in and rescued the fright
ened bird. Then a dispute arose as to
how much the man should be paid
Let us leave it to the parrot" said
the queen, whereat Polly, who had sat
silently preening his bedraggled feath-
ers, looked up, winked his round, red
eyes and said in n gruff voice: 80. give
the knave a groat," and that put an
end to the discussion.
The cleverest parrot ever known was
the property of a poor actor named
OKeefe. The bird not only talked clev-
erly but sang sweetly. in tenor voice.
His favorite song was Lord save the
king" but not a sound would the par
rot make on Sunday.
He enjoyed church going and sat sol
EMMY, on the back of pew, paying
the most respectful attention to all that
was said.
One day, when the sermon proved
very long and tiresome, the good cler-
gyman arrived at an impressive pause,
just to give weight to his words. and
the sober sided parrot screamed out:
"Amen! amen! now let us be off" and
scuttled out the door. near which his
master sat, leaving the weary congre-
cation, and, after bit, the good-nat-
ured clergyman, too, laughing heartily.
The fame of this parrots achieve
ments reached the royal palace, where
upon King George commanded him to
sing before the court.
When Polly entered the royal pres
ence and was ordered to sing God Save
the King" not a sound would the bird
make. Then his majesty, put in quite
q rage by this obstinate discourtesy,
stalked out of the room.
Hardly had the door closed, however,
when the parrot broke gayly into the
national anthem in a voice so fine that
the king delightedly reentered the
room and offered O'Keefe a princely
sum for SO gifted bird.
OKeefe loved his feathered friend toe
dearly to part with him, and tuGeIing

CAGlNG WILD BEASTS,
How the Animals Arc Handled at jam
rachs in London.

TaCD III i-OnuOus
A writer who paid visit to jam
rachs wild beast esta blishment in Lon
don has this to say:
Now. there are at the moment l am
writing. two beautiful Bengal tiger
cubs in one of the cages. The cubs
arc old enough to be dangerous, SO if
tell you the way l saw them put in the
cage they now inhabit you will know
a little of how wild animals are trans
ferred from one place of confinement
to another.
The boxes that tigers and lions come
in are not very big-just big enough to
allow the inmates to lie comfortably.
This, besides saving freight, prevents
the animal from using his full strength,
and perhaps, in case of fright or frenzy,
from bursting the box.
Well, the box with the tiger cubs
was placed in front of and partly in the
open cage. A sliding door in the box
was then lifted, and the cubs darted
forward at the meat that was lying in
the far corner of the cage to tempt
them. Meanwhile the box was quickly
withdrawn and the barred gate of the
cage as quickly shut.
1t is easy, however, to transfer an
animal from confined box to large
cage. He is going then from captivity
to comparative liberty. 1t is not SO
easy-indced, it is extremely difficult
to get him to go through the reverse
process, to walk from large cage into
a box, If there be time, he can ALWAYS
be made to do it quietly enough.
Give him no food in the large cage,
but put it in the box. He may even hold
out for days; hunger, however, will
prove in the end stronger than his
fears, and he will, with growl, make
dash for the joints, when the trap
will be closed against him.
1t isn't always possible to wait for
hunger to make him submit. Perhaps
the animal is wanted tomorrow, and
the dealer has got the order only to-
day, and must catch the train with him
at four o'clock in the afternoon. What
is to be done now?
Here mans superior intelligence
shows itself. 1t is fear that prevents the
animal from entering the box, and this
fear must be overcome by a greater fear.
This is an easy matter to the animal
dealer with his knowledge of animals.
He simply sets light to little bun
die of dry straw in the cage; this is
cnough-the animals fear of fire
makes him fly at any outlet of escape.

these, he hides in hollow logs or trees
which is frequently a sad mistake
under the top of fallen tree, or in the
tangie of brush patch. ~hen he is
seldom disturbed in his haunts, he be-
comes quite bold, and works out for
himself under thick bush little
bower called form, where he sits in
fancied security.
Ii the man with a gun approaches,
he sits as motiouless as a statue, ears
cooked, eyes staring, breathing seldom
and win,fipg never, hoping that he will
not be noticed. With beating heart he
keeps tab on the distance between the
hunter and himself, and draws an i'm
aginary dead-line ten feet away. If the
hunter does not cross that-well and
good-he sits still; but let him take one
step over it, and-zip! out shoots Mr..

cottOn-white flag of truce is waved

In summer these creatures grow fat
on soft young twigs, buds of many
kinds, grass, leaves and berries, but in
winter their bill of fare narrows down
to the bark of smooth-bar bushes or
of small saplings, twigs, or the berries

to keep him.
When the parrot died the British mu-
scum bought the skin and stuffed it,
and to-day Polly is to be seen in the

A learned Philadelphia Polly sang
charminglv both in German and Eng
lish. He loved to sit in a sunny back
window, and toss seed and crumbs to
his feelings deeply hurt, but he would
scream and scold, unless permitted to
bless all the family good night and
good morning.
He enjoyed the companionship of a
mate who laid several eggs, but could
never hatch them, so in despair they
set out to adopt some children.

CHANGED upon box in which were
three tiny gray kittens, with which the
mother parrot was delighted.
Though the kittens struggled she
gathered them under her wings and
after awhile the cat gave her babies
entirely into the birds care.
The parrots learned to drink milk at
the same saucer with their adopted
children and the kittens trotted con-
tentedly about at their foster parents

together on a sunny back porch. -Bos-

ALWAYS GLAD.

He was glad to be awake
He was glad when called to breakfast,
And ready his place to take.
He was glad TO hear the school bell,
And glad when called TO his class,
For he always had his lessons
Whatever might come to pass
He was glad at recess and noontime,
And always on hand for play;
And glad to be going homeward
When school was closed for the day.
He was glad to help his mother,
And frolic with little Fred
And when he was tired and sleepy,
He was glad to 60 to bed
