Wild Goose Life.

We know nothing OF our courtShip OF
the wild goose, but we teel assured that
il must be Seemly and worthy affair."
Once mated, there is no further need for
vows and protestations, for the birds mate
for life. Together they unite in building
the nest, but the goose alone watches
over the eggs, while day and night the
gander weaves in all directions on water
and on land his trails OF watchiulness.
Neither man nor beast may approach
without being fiercely and successfully
assailed, bufieted and routed by relent-
less attack with beak and wings. This
guardianship is trebled when the new
generation. helpless and dependent,
voices its first need for protection from
the penlS which encompass and beset it.
II, perchance, the small family elects 10
remain on the shore the parents will cir
Gle round and round the group OF golden
goslings, and if danger threatens from any
one direction the gander, by some mir
acle OF rategy, will succeed in placing
himself at the one vulnerable point Of his
intrenchment. His loyalty, astuteness
and unSelhshness are not TO be found in
those unobServant folk who have pre-
sumed 10 slander him.
In swimming the stricteSt discipline is
maintained. The young form in single
file, following the mother, while the gan
der brings up the rear, with eyes con-
stantlY sweeping the whole range Of vi
sion. His vigil is ceaseless and untiring.
Such is the life Of these two birds that
are mated in more than sex, and when
death comes to one or the other OF them
We know that many times the one that
remains will seek no other mate, but will
return each spring to the site OF his form-
er nest, which he will neverTenew again.

How Wounds Heal.

Few people have any idea OF the Won
derful process by which wounds heal.
Stitching, dressing, etc, are important
operations, but none OF them can make
good the damage or replace the loss OF
tissue in a wound This is the work OF
our good friends in the blood, the white
corpuscles, the "scavengers, so called
because they destroy disease germs.
When a wound is made, bone brok-
en-, a nerve torn, ETC., il is chiefly by
these corpuScles finding their way out OF
the blood vessels into The surrounding
tissues that the injuries by bullet or bay
onet are repaired. The union OF broken
bones, nerves. skin, ETC., is effected by
the corpuscles finding their way into the
coagulated blood which surrounds The
injured parts.
They throw out what are called "pro-
cesses," become fixed and join each 9TH
er. A new tissue is thus formed, which
becomes endowed with blood vessels.
Fibers follow, and these serve TO keep
The torn tissue Of the wound in what IS
surgically called Opposition"
In this tissue, in The case OF broken
bone, bone is deposited where nerves
have been torn by bullet nerve fibres
grow, and so on. These fibres in the
course OF healing contract, and II is by
that power Of contradiction that The edges
OF a wound are brought together and
united.

CONSUMPTI TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, conhning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while 1t
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If YOU work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott Emulsion is the
most strengthening ngfood-medicine known.
1t is totally free from alcohol or any
stupefying drug. Avoid substitutes.

Aerial Trail Breaking.

II is impossible for one who has seen
only the common mute swans floating
about in the artificial lakes of city parks
to imagine the grandeur OF a flock OF the
great whiStlers in their wild state. In
"Wild Life and the Camera" Mr.. A. X.
Dugmore says the sight is one OF the
most impressive in nature. As the huge
birds rise into the air il seems as il an
aerial regatta were being sailed over
head, the swans, each with wing spread
OF six or seven feet, moving like yachts
under null sail.
Once the swans are fairly under way
their speed is amazing, nearly hundred
miles an hour. and that, too, with no ap-
parent effort, for the slow wing motion
is very deceiving. Their endurance is as
surprising as their speed, for they are
said TO travel a thousand miles without
alighting.
The flocks are usually led by an old
and experienced swan, and il is said that
as one becomes tired OF leading, or il
might be called aerial trail breaking, his
place is takeH by another whose strength
is equal 10 the task, and so they continue
until they reach their destination, the
southern feeding grounds OF the winter,
or the northern breeding places OF the
summer. Occasionally they stop TO rest
in the region OF the Great Lakes. Not
many years sgo, while on their way north,
large number stopped above Niagara
Falls, and more than hundred were, by
some extraordinary mischance, carried
over the falls and killed in the surging
waters.
Whether the swans prepare in any
special way for their southwark journey
is not known; but before starting north
they indulge in the curious habit known
as "ballasting,p that is to say, they eat
great quantities OF sand, tor what purpose
no one knows.
In the far-away Arctic Ocean is their
breeding place, and il is believed that
they mate for life. As with so many OF
the water birds, the swans protect their
eggs with covering OF down scratched
from their own breasts, so that when the
birds leave the nest, the two 10 six large,
yellowish eggs are hidden from the eyes
OF possible thieves, and protected against
any sudden changes OF temperature.
II is many years before the swans are
clothed in the feathers OF Immaculate
whiteness that make them such consplc-
uous objects OF beauty. Not, indeed,
until the fifth year does all trace OF gray
disappear. Their first feathers are en-
tireIy gray; gradually they tighten, be-
coming mottled with white, the neck and
head remaining gray until after the body
is completely white.

NEW VOL. 50-No. 3.


When you walk along country road
at the edge of piece OF woods, and come
to a wild apple tree or decaying stump
from which top and branches have fallen,
you will often see round hole In Il half
way up its length. or under a big limb.
Any youngster will tell you at once that
il is a woodpecker's nest. II is wood
pecker work, no doubt, but is il now. or
was il ever, the home of a pair OF wood
peckers2 ?
Its size will give you fair hint OF
whether il was made by the big logcock.
by flicker or a redhead, or by one OF
the smaller kinds. like the downy or the
hairy woodpeeker. II il is less than two
inches in diameter, il was probably made
by the downy woodpecker. He IS lii
tie checkered fellow. with broad white
stripe down his back and red cap, ana
he is a constant visitor 10 our orchards.
He has been called an inspector oi ap-
pie trees" for he cleans the fruit trees OF
borers and other injurious insects.
But a woodpecker's hole is not neees-
sarily a nest. The woodpecker digs
holes for other purposes. Sometimes he
has TO cut so deeply 10 get at big grub
that the hole looks like house entry.
The downy also carves OUT shallow holes
near his real nest as shelters in which to
spend stormy days and cold nights, Tor
he is with us in winter as well as summer.
Then, too, woodpeckers make a new
nesting hole each season, so you may
have found a nest that was deserted long
ago.
Other creatures often occupy these
abandoned homes. Sometimes II IS a
mouse or flying squirrel, but more often
some little bird. Whatever il may be. II
finds only an empty tenement, since
woodseckers are content 10 lay their eggs
on the fine, clean chips that are left al tie
bottom OF their burrows.
BY the way In which the hole is furnish
ed, you may guess who the new oeeu-
pant is. A mouse fills the cavity with
grass flying squirrel, with its cast-oif
fur and other soft stuff. II the hole Is
crammed with twigs and bits OF spiders
web, a wren has lived there II with line
straw, few feathers, and so forth. prob
ably bluebird was the tenant; II II con-
sists mostly oil feathers. wool, and cotiony
stuff, the occupants are no doubt chick
adees or nulhatches.

Taking Ii Back.

There is little town in Kentucky that
has set good example for the whole
country. AT the suggestion Of citizen
who knows human nature, the town re-
Gently celebrated a "Take-it-Back Day" "
when everyone was supposed to return
whatever articles he had borrowed.
The plan proved to be wonderfully
stimulating TO sluggish memories. Ev-
eryone entered so heartily into the spirit
OF the occasion that an amazing amount
OF property found its way back to IFS
rightful owners. NeighborS who had
kept borrowed articles so long that they
had been ashamed to return them found
sudden courage in the avowed purpose
OF the day, and so people recovered val
ued articles that they had supposed were
lost forever. Ii was day of fellowship
and good will, for which everyone felt
the better-more content with himself and
better pleased with his neighborS.
Every neighborhood needs a take-it-
back day. The occasion requires no
ceremonial, for simplicity is the best as
Surance OF success. An occasional OBJ
servance would lead 10 that happy con-
dition where no further observance would
be necessary.
And when neighbors returned borrow
ed articles. thew might also take back any
unkind words that they may have said.
Taking back unkind words does not un-
do all the harm, but il helps, and makes it
easier TO refrain from bitter speech in the
future. The trouble is that there is not
always chance to take them back. They
usually come back-a good deal quicker

"Dabe Philoon," returned Mr.. PeaSlee.
promptly, "ain't only jest as contented

shouldn't he be ?"
"Wal, do know" submitted Mr..

Mr.. Hyne appeared to debate the mat

"WaI, for one thing" he began at length,
"'d get me pair Of drivin' hoSseS, and

Mr.. Peaslee held up toil-worn hand

"Dabe's got one horse in the barn"
he said, "that's eatin' his head off his

"Wal, them" Mr.. Hyne began afresh,
"Pd get that piece OF land that lays just
beyond his farm. He'd have the biggest
farm anywhere round here then"
Mr.. Peaslee looked at his friend pity
ingly.

young and strong man when there amt
any reason in the world why he should,

"Wal, anyway" he announced tri-

had the money he's got, I'd travel some,

question unanSwerable.
Mr.. Peaslee did not seem TO be at all

Russian Forests.

We are disposed to thiHk OF Russia as
land of Iimitless forests, but even Rus
sia has serious forestry problem. For
decades, according 10 writer in the Pc
trograd Novoe Vremya, Russia took no
notice OF the destruction or her forests.
The ruling class, the nobility, sold large
parts OF their wooded properties rather
than sell farm land. They disposed OF
their forests usually for sums so small
that the brokers made from three hundred
10 one thousand per cent on their capital.
In the end, the deiorestation Of the coun-
try assumed such threatening proportions
that the government introduced forest
conservation law. "But the de-
struction OF the forests even now goes on
at full speed. The forests, which guard
the very possibility OF mans existence in
The North, are rapidly disappearing.
Firewood is as necessary to Russia as the
sea is to the English or the mountains to
Switzerland. One may regret the disap-
pearance Of timber. but in large degree
timber can be replaced by brick, iron or
other building materials; but in the
North, fuel, in the form Of firewood. can
not be replaced"

woman.
"Why not warm il up?" asked the
tramp.

"What is an anecdote, Johnny ?" asked
the teacher.
"A short, funny tale," answered the
little fellow.
"Quite right" said the teacher. "And
now, Johnny, you may write on The black
board a sentence containing the word"
Johnny hesitated moment, and then
wrote: "a rabbit has four legs and one
anecdote."
