FRANKLIN GUARD.
The Old Company Is Being Reor5an-
 ized to Do Duty Wherever the Governor May Direct.

A movement is on foot to organize the old Franklin Guard into an active mili- tary body, and when so organized to ten der it to the Governor of the State for duty at any place that he or the United States authorities may designate for active duty. The movement assumed par tial shape at the armory on Page and Cough streets last night, when Captain Frank P Shafer and First Lieutenant William A Burdick of the old company sent out an informal notice to as many of the .ex-members as they found within a limited radius of the city. The call was responded to by about fifty of the boys who had worn the uniform in days gone by. and who signified their intention of at once joining again to aid their coun- try in time of need. ..- It is the intention of Captain Shafer and I Lieutenant Burdick to enroll 100 men and then proceed to elect second lieutenant and appoint the requisite complement of non-commissioned officers, after which the company will be reported to the Gov ernor for active duty.
 The Franklin Guard is the second oldest company in the city, 1t having been or ganized in 1859, and out of it's ranks 123 men joined the army during the Civil War: General McComb was its captain : in*its earliest days, and the old colors that were carried in days gone by are still in the eossession of the company. By next Monday the company will have l0O men enrolled on it's roster.

A COOL MoToRMAN.
His Presence of Mind Averted What Might Have Been a Fearful
 Accident

The motorman on car 2s of the San Ma teo and San Francisco electric line has convinced the authorities of that road that he possesses sufficient presence of mind to entitle him to the consideration of the company's officers.
 The particulars in which this man dis tinguished himself occurred yesterday afternoon at o'clock at the crossing of the electric line with that of the South ern Pacific road at Ocean View. At the time mentioned the electric car approach ed the crossing. and the conductor, see ing that a train bound south had just passed, and that the gates were again opened signaled to the motorman to go ahead Just as the electric car reached the middle of the crossing the gates were suddenly closed, and the passengers were mortified to see a train bound into the city coming at full speed round the curve. not over three hundred feet away The motorman had presence of mind enough to send his car forward with a jerk. breaking away the. gates and smashing the forward windows of the car, but for tunately clearing the railroad train by the narrowest kind of a margin, but in time to get clear of the approaching train, which had in the meantime slackened Its speed somewhat.
 Beyond a slight scare on the part of some of the passengers no damage was done, save the breaking of few paneS of glass in the front windows.

FOOD FOR PARROTS-F. w, Eadoria, Wash A writer on birds says: In their native country parrots feed upon the seeds of the sunfower and the various grains, and with exercise in the wild state do not grow too ieshy. Gagged, they must be fed vastly different. A good food for parrots is cold boiled potatoes, stale bread or crackers, soaked some times in water, sometimes in milk, and sometimes in coffee, using the coffee just as it is leached or boiled, without the ad- dition of milk or sugar. Bread soaked in coffee is delicate morsel of which par seed, unhulled rice, cracked corn and hemp seed. Of the two latter very little should be given them, and they should never have fed to them greasy food from the table, sugar cake, candy or the like Peanuts, forming part of their native feed. can always be given to them. They should not be too highly fed.
