Common Nest for Cat and Hen.

Bowdoinham cats are noted for
their sagacity, but it remains for the
intelligent feline owned by Mrs. Sam
uel Donnell of that town to cap the
climax.
Our cat has taken strange place
to rear her last Kittens" Mrs. Donnell
told the Journal Friday. "Her chill
dren were born in a hens nest and
ever since she has persisted in keep
ing them there. The queer part of it
is the philosophical way in which the
hen seems to take the matter.
when she wants to lay an egg
she pecks at the kittens, who are too
small to resent it, and if the mother
is near she pushes them gently from
the nest. Just as soon as the hen
has laid her egg the cat grabs the kit
tens and puts them in the nest again
and it is no unusual thing for the
cat, kittens, eggs and hen to be all
together in one glorious mixup."-

Dear Sir:
The following experience of an ILL

thousands of letters that could be re-
produced showing how prosperity fol
lows the settler on the fertile lands OF
Western Canada. This letter was
written to the Chicago agent Of the
Government of the Dominion of Can

April 9Th, 1907:

since and family landed in Red Deer,
family sick and only SIS in my pocket.
Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14 shack
and went to work as carpenter.
Next May sold for $500 Chad added
16x18 building to shack. Purchased
two lots at $40 each and built a 23x28
two story building and sold for $3.50.
Filed on quarter section 33 miles
n. w. Of Red Deer and have spent
three years on it and am well pleased.
Quarter all fenced and cross fenced,
wire and rail, 21a miles of fence.

Last year was my first attempt to
raise grain, IL acres OF fall wheat,
yield grand, but was frosted August

good pig feed. Had IL acres fall rye
that | think could not be beat. A
farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he
said he never saw such heavy grain
anywhere. Straw was feet high. /
had acres of Q rowed barley OH fall

it ripened and gave me all the feed /
need for stock and seed for this
spring. / did not have grain threshed,
so can't give yield, but the wheat
would have gone at least Is bu to the

A friend, surmising my situation, gave
me dollar, which was thankfully ac-
cepted and later paid back. Wife and
/ are thankful we came here. We
were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills, as
perhaps you remember visiting me
there and getting me headed for the
Canadian Northwest, and happy day
it has proved for me. I have not
grown rich, but I am prospecting. l
would not take $4,000 for my quarter
now. The past winter has been a
hard one, but I worked outside the
coolest day (52 below all day and did
not suffer- We are getting a school

The Chameleon eoshawk.

/ know no bird which passes through
so many changes of plumage and color
of eyes as the goshawk. A young one
which 1 have mounted is about the
size of a small hen and is covered
with white down; his eyes are pale
blue. 1 colored the eyes exactly from
life. When fully grown, the first plum
age is dark brown above, and the
eyes are pale yellow. No one would
be likely to suspect this being a
goshawk who had seen only adult
birds. Later it changes to the dark
slaty blue of the adult, and the eye,
after passing through all the interme-
date changes in color from stray
yellow, orange yellow and pink, finally
assumes the deep rich red of the
adult. I know no other hawk (adds
Manly Hardy, writing in Forest and
Stream) so handsome as the Cos
hawk.

New Orleans cities of the Dead.

New Orleans has several miniature
cities within it's boundaries, and they
are the cities Of the Dead" said
Louis w. LIE Branc of the Crescent
City.
Il mean" he explained, '"that every
cemetery in New Orleans is a minia-
ture city. They are built above the
ground and laid out in streets, just
as the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion of Spain and France. In them, too,
are to be found inscriptions that tell
of sweet Creole romances, such as
that of Jeanne Laclede, the popular
singer of nearly a century ago, who
died of broken heart.
Certain days are set apart, accord
ing to the old French Catholic Gus
tom for visiting these miniature cit
les, and on these days they are crowd
ed all day long. AS they were built
SO long ago they are now in the CEN
ter of the city and at night low weird
indeed. Long ago it was found neces-
sary to build the cemeteries above the
ground, because of the fact that the
city itself is below the level of the
