TAME WILD DUCKS.
Gunner Jesse Poplar Raising Them
at Havre de Grace, Md.

: NJ uS trace va.
1t is an uncommon thing to see a
4 brood Of live ducklings of the mallard
/ family Matched out by wild parents in
/ Hayre de Grace, Md There is in that
/ city a brood of II which saw the light
/ only a few days ago, ard if nature,
aided by several setting" hens and a
! wild black duck or two, performs it's
proper functions there will be added to
| this brood Of 81 some 70 more within
the next few days and a number will
have been Matched by wild mothers.
They are being reared by the famous
gunner and duck shot Jesse ID. Poplar,
who when wild ducks are here is to be
found in pursuit of them at all times
and under all conditions and who was
never known to come in without his
full share and more often with two or
three shares of the days kill, says the
Baltimore Sun. Jesse, it seems. is not
content with the number of birds that
have been stopping on their fight
southwark and has concluded to foster
the interest by assisting in the hatch
ing and production of at least the
marsh varieties.
He captured last winter a half dozen
wild ducks. There were five females
and a drake. The females were all
black mallards, and the drake was of
the green head sort. They were nursed
along until their wounds were healed,
and when spring came they began to
lay with a will, and 100 eggs were soon
produced. Some of the old ducks be-
gan to "cluck," and each covered some
90 eggs, and several hens were given
the remainder.
The brood which has come out has
for its mother a white hen which is
fearfully concerned when the duck
lings pitch into the water trough pro-
vided for them. They are beautiful lit
tie specimens. little smaller in size
than the tame varieties seem much
quicker in their movements and are of
a uniform size and color. Mr. Poplar
expects to raise about 100 young ducks,
as they seem to be extremely hardy,
and the loss of any of those hatched
would probably be only from acct
dent The six old ducks, though very
wild when first captured, have become
quite tame. and they do not attempt to
leave the yard where they are kept.
When asked what disposition he in
intended to make of them, Mr.. Poplar
laughed and said he had not yet made
up his mind but he acted as il he had
something up mis- sleeve" for he does
not always give satisfactory answers.
When the shooting season comes ON
again, it would not be strange if he
were found on the flats with, a full
stool of live ducks for decoys, and if
such should happen woe unto the
feathery tribe.

THE TRANsvAAL CITADEL. 4
District where the Beers Are Ex-
pected TO Withstand the British.

District where the Beers Are Ex-
pected to Withstand the British.
A correspondent at Lourenco Mar-f
ques gives / graphic description of thek
district north Of Lydenburg, in thief
Transyaal, where IL is reported greatS
preparations are being made to earryf
on the resistance to che British, says,
the New York Sun. The center of theY
district is at Ohrigstad, about 80 miles
north Of Lydeuburg. The Ohrigstad /
laager is so c1lle1 because ii is the
oldest and strongest position taken up
by the Beers Of the first trek going
north from Cape Colony and Natal.
From Gu to 100 years back tie Trans
yaal was inhabited ia districts by Ba-
sutos, who We're raided by the Zulus
and other tribes. Ike Boer immi-
grants took advantage of this eondi-
ton of things and established them
selves in the country against all COM
ers When hard pressed by large
impis of natives, the Beers retreated to
Ohrigstad valley. where the positions
are impregnable if well defended, be-
ing a series of volcanic fortifcations,
interminable kopjes extending for
miles. Inside these natural defenses is
beautiful and fertile valley about rs.
miles square, protected on the east by
the DFakenberg and on the nesth and
east by the broad and deep ELEPHANTS
river with Forts Oliphaut and Weber.
From the south the valley narrows to
Luxembourg, the only gate. the transport
station for which is at Ne}Sprint, ON the
railway from Pretoria to Delagoa Bay.
Six or eight thousand Beers or even
fewer with artillery, could defy the
whole British army now in South At
RIGA for an indefinite period. No army,
no matter how many thousands in
number. could climb those giant ridges
or pass the multitudinous degthtraps of
bowlder built kopies interested with
dongas. The force inside the natural
citadel would be safe so long as am
munition and food lasted. Three beau
tiful rivers,-she Blyde, Ohrigstad and
Steelport-rI1n into the Oliphaut's river
and are fed by hundreds Of springs
and rivulets The nature and aspect
of the valley are those of one eontinu-
GUS garden capable Of irrigation from
in al directions. The soil is
producing with the present
primitive methods of civilizations grain,
forage, tobacco and almost anything
and the hilIsides afford ex-
eeIlent pasturage for aoFses. cattle and
sheep summeE and winter.
The valley is even now fairly Bopu-
lated by Beers and well to do natives,
all of whom have fruit gardens. The
natural advantages Cor defending
force cannot be overestimated. The
length of the resistance would depend
on the supplies of food and ammuni-
ton, and to stop those it would be nee
essary for the British government to
obtain possession 0e koomatipoort,
which would require some fighting.

Britain and aolivip4 Friends Axnsn

A remarkable instance of interna

by the settlement in dhe capital of Boz
ivia Of Sir w. Beauczernet as British
minister to the republic, says the Sus-
sex Daily News. Since 1865 Great
Britain has not been directly repre-
sented in Bolivia. and the reason IS pc
2uliar In shat year a political mob
from Sucre,, seized the British repre-
sentative and compelled him to take an
undiguifed ride through the streets
mounted upon an ass. He was sub
iected also to other in1ignities. AS a
consequence official England bletted
Bolivia from the map and it remained
blotted for 50 years.

The war in China means a serious
loss to- the Indians of the OnOndaga
reservation. For years they have done
a lucrative business gathering ginseng
and shipping 1t to China. The trade in
ginseng, according to the New York

Z Iadians are Respondent, as they know
practically nothing about farming aud
have only their annuity from the state
when unable to sell their ginseng.
