Domesticating Wild Geese.

The wild Canadian geese are now
being rapidly domesticatsd aud i'm
proved by our poultry keepers for
their market value as fowls. In all
the large parks in the principal cities
may be found flock of these beauti-
full birds, and with kind care they
soon become tame and very affection
ate. In Wade Park, in this city. q
fine flock of Canadian wild geese may
be seen wandering over the park; and
at times will begin their wild cry, and
off they will fly for an hour or more,
travelling many miles about the city,
but always, returning to the park,
where they are we'll cared for, and to
which place they seem attached. They
breed we'll. and start about May to
perform this duty. The goslings are
similar in appearance to the ordinary
kind; but as they feather cut they
show long black necks. with a white
patch just across the head, back of
the eye, and under the lower back ;
the remainder OF the bird is pale
brown. During Matching time they
are cross, and will chase and snap hard
at you if you come near them. New

A Feroclous Hen.

A hen that builds her home in
willow and lives there like any of the
ordinary tree-nesting birds is one OF
the things talked about now out in the
neighborhood of Fell and Stanyan
streets. The eccentric fowl is the
property of Joseph Landgraf, and the
willow is in his backyard.
She is no ordinary chicken, but has
all of the ferceness Of hawk, and it
is no uncommon thing for her to fly
violently at the head of any one who
ventures about her peculiar habitation.
A man named Allen, who runs the
backyard, has developed proper fear
of the ferocious hen, and all of his
long acquaintance with her has not
enabled him to curb her wild spirit.
1t was several weeks ago that the
chicken left the roost and decided to
abide among the branches of the will
low. She made her way from high
shed to the low branches and then
walked along until she found suitable
place for the nest. When this much
was accomplished the chicken began
carrying dry leaves, straw and much
material to the tree, and in few days
had nest that looked precisely like
those usually found in the hanging
out places of the park birds. The
nest was carefully built and securely
fixed between two strong branches.
Then there were more interesting
developments. When Allen hszarded
visit to the tree the other morning
he found that the nest was occupied
bv nearly a dozen chicks. The ma.
ternal fowl was away at the time, but
made things interesting for Allen
when she returned. She few at him
and banged him with claws and wings
until the stepladder upon which he
was standing toppled over. Allen
toppled over, too. He was not severe
ly hurt, but the bird has been given
wide range ever since.
1t has not been decided what shall
be done with the youngsters in the
nest. Their mother flies readily from
the ground to the nest and back, and
the men about the place are waiting to
see how the little ones propose to get
from the willow branches. San Fran
cisco Examiner.

he added that he hoped to see the
cane with Febvre on the stage. The
incident was reported, and Febvre
spent the following day dismissing a

Afterward, when giving private enter

A New Corn.

It is not generally known among
farmers in this part of tue country, we
believe, that new grain crop has been
introduced into the western ste a..eess .eess and
is winning its-way very rapidly into
favor in some of them.
The grain in question is known as
"Kafir corn" and more resembles in
character and appearance, we believe,
the grains OF millet, or broom corn. or
sorghum, than those of the familiar
Indian corn. 1t seems, however, to
answer all the purposes of Indian corn
and has some advantages, notably
those of yield and of ability to stsnd
drought which have served to induce
many of the western farmers to culti-
vate it extensively with Indian corn or
in place of it.

A MoToRMAN'S LIFE,
FULL OF HARDsHIPs, EXPOSURE AND
CONSTANT DANGER,

The Great Stain on Mans Nerves Sufh.
cient In Itself to Wreck Him In q
Short TIme---The Experience
ofa Well-Known Motorman.
From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life Of o motorman Is not bed Of
roses. Heis subjected to many hardships, es-
pecislly in the winter, when heis exposed to
the cold and snow. Even In the summer
he must bear the intense heat which
beats down upon him. Considerable nerve
and self possession are necessary in
good motorman, for the lives and
limbs Of his passengers are at stake
One Of the best known electric motormen In
this city is William Frazer, who is at present
running car On the Cumminsville electric
line. He is not only we'll known to his fell
low employees but to the people who travel
on his car. Mr.. Frazer Is young man about
twenty-six years Of age and resides with his
wife and child at 144 Belts Street, Cincinnati,
o. About year ago Mr.. Frazer was taken
with serious stomach troubles. He bought
several kinds OF medicine which were rec
ommended to him, but none OF them seemed
to give him even temporary benefit. An en-
tuuSlhSllC duuliTer VI tudl ldllOuS IoIicUy
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pill for Pale
People told him to try them. Frazer was
almost discouraged, but took the advice To
a reporter of the Enquirer he said:
"1 can mos heartily recommend DR.. WILL
iams' Pink Pills. They are all that Is
claimed for them; in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine ever
saw. Twas seized some time ago with bad
attack OF indigestion. My stomach hurt me
nearly all the time and could not digest my
food. The pain was almost unbearable and
found nothing that would give me relief.
confess that when bought the first box OF
Pink Pills hadn't much confidence In their
efficacy because had tried so many things
without success that was almost discour-
aged. Before had taken one box was de-
cidedly better. Two boxes cured me entire
ly. While have been under the weather
from other causes my indigestion has never
returned. II 1t ever should know just what
to do. have so much confidence in the o.
1cacy OF Pink Pills that II I ever get real
sick again with any disorder shall use some
Of them. 1t Is a pleasure for me I assure
you to testify to the excellent qualities OF
these Pink Pills. They Lot only tone the
stomach but regulate the bowels and act
as mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means something.
He speaks from personal experience and any
one who doubts that he received the benefits
stated can easily verify the assertion by call
ing on Mr.. Frazer or seeing him some timo
while he Is on his car.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all tho
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold In boxes (never in
loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at 50
cents box, or six boxes for $3.50, and may
be had of all druggists or directly by mail
