cepted, they are nothing different
from ours, but in being generally
larger, and in having redder flesh,
which is, however, superior in taste.
When anyone finds their eggs in the
woods and places them under tame
hen to be Matched, the young, for
the most part, become tame also;
but when they grow up they may
make their escape. On this account
people cut their wings before they
are year old. These wild turkeys
when tanned are much more mis-
chievious than those from domesti-
Gated birds.

the southern provinces that they
may be found in focks of more than
5000.
"The earliest account of them in
Italy is contained in an ordinance is
sued by the magistrates Of Venice,
in 1857, for depressing luxury. and
in which those tables at which they
were allowed are particularized
About the year 1870 Bartolomeo
Scappi, cook to Pope Plus V, gave in
his book on cookery several receipts
for dressing these expensive and
much esteemed fowls.
THAT they were scarce at this pc
Rod appears from it's being remark
ed that the first turkeys brought to
Bologna were some that had been
given as a present to the family of
.Buonocompagni, from which Gregg
ry XII, who at that time filled the
papal chair, was descended.
THAT these fowls were not known
in the beginning of the Sixteenth
century, is very probable; as they
are not mentioned in the particular
description of a grand entertainment
given by Archbishop Nevil; nor in
the regulations made by Henry VIII,
respecting his household, in which
all fowls used in the royal kitchen
are named.
They were, however, introduced
into that country about the above
period; some say ir the year 1924;
others in 1880, and some in 1882.
According to the account of some
writers, turkeys must have been
known much earlier in France; but
on strict examination no proof of
this can be found. The earliest pc
riod assigned for their introduction
into that country is given by Beguil-
let, who confidently asserts that they
were brought to Dion under the
reign of Phillip the Bold, about the
year 1885.
Had this French author quoted
his authority, we might have dis
covered what gave rise to his mis-
take; but as he does not, one cannot
but help to think that the whole ac-
count is a fiction of his own which
was not a very strange proceeding
IN those times.
de la Mar also is in error when
ne relates that the first turkeys in
France were those which Jaques
Caur, the we'll known treasurer to
Charles VII, brought with him from
he Levant, and kept on his estates
n Gatinois. after he had received
he kings permission to return to
he kingdom.
This Caur, however, who was
lanished in 1850, never returned, !
)rt died in the island of Chic in the |
rear 1456.
Equally false is the account given
~ Bouche in his History of Pro
yence.' that Rene, or Renatus, King |
# Naples and Duke of Anjou, first
brought turkeys into the kingdom !
md reared them in abundance at
aosset. This author gives as au-
hority the oral tradition, which GER
ainly cannot be put in competition
With testomony of a more authentic
lature.

Wonan's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life,is u
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt 10
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence Of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence OF this one pledge
10 mutual affection is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even II they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment in the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest
on the children Of Others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases OF barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure Of weakness on
the part OF tho woman. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means OF
restoring health and fruitfulness 10 many
barren woman, 10 the-great Joy OF the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction TO the bearing of children has
been found TO be OF surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
glcal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, over which
DR.. Pierce OF the rFavorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since 1t is generally 50 easily removed by
proper treatment
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments, prOlapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitatlng, catarrhal drains and In all
cases OF nervousness and debility, DIR.
Plerce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
II has to its credit hundreds Of thousands
Of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for wOman's use. The ingredi-
ents OF which the rtavorite Prescription
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on MdteT'id Medicd Of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed ia plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use OF this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford 10 do as the formula after
which the rFavorite Prescription" is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

walked across the commons from
Kentucky avenue to Alice Perkins
house, back of the railroad shops
He claimed he had a message for the
woman.
II knocked, Green explained.
1.-The door was opened and a strange
negro ordered me away from the
house using a vile name and | turn
ed to go as he shot me. Green ran
to the car shed.
This statement was made to OFF,
cials of the traction company and
DR.. Frank Boyd. Green claimed he
did nothing whatever to provoke the
assault.
The police sweated the woman.
but she claimed she knew nothing
about the matter The name OF the
negro who did the shooting was not
learned last night, the woman say
ing he was called Pretty Boy" The
