CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
The Feathered Hero.
An interesting relic is preserved in
a glass case in the English Coldstream
guards orderly room at Whitehall. It
consists of the head and neck of a
goose, around which is a golden collar
with the inscription, "Jacob 2d Bat
talion Coldstream Guards." Beneath
It are the words, "Died on Duty."
In 1838 a rebellion broke out in
Great Britain's Canadian possessions,
and two battalions of the guards were
cnt thither to assist in quelling it, the
battalion already mentioned being one
them. Both corps occupied the
citadel of Quebec, and in their turn
supplied the guards which were
ordered to be mounted in different
parts of the town and neighborhood.
Near one of these guards was a farm
yard which had suffered much from
the ravages of foxes—animals that
were at that time a great pest to the
colonists; and as the farm in question
had been suspected of being the meet
ing plaee of the rebels, a chain of
sentries was placed around it. One
day the sentry, whose duty it was to
watch the entrance to the farm, had
his attention attracted to an unusual
noise, and on looking toward the spot
whence it proceeded he beheld a fine
goose lleeing toward him closely pur
sued by a fox. llis first impulse was
to have at shot at the latter; but this
would have alarmed the guard, and
brought condign punishment on him
self for giving a false alarm. He was
compelled, therefore, to remain a silent
spectator to the scene,while every step
brought the reynard nearer to his prey.
In the hight of its despair the poor
bird ran its head and neck between the
legs of the soldier, in its frantic en
deavor to reach the refuge which the
sentry-box could afford, and at the
same moment the wily fox made a
desperate grab at the goose; but too
late, for ere he could get a feather
between his teeth, the ready bayonet
of the sentinel passed through his
body. The poor goose, byway of
showing its gratitude to its preserver,
rubbed its head against his legs, and
made other equally curious demonstra
tions of jov; nor could it ever be pre
vailed upon to quit the post, but
walked up and down day after day
with each successive sentry that was
placed there until the battalion left
Canada, when the goose was brought
away with it as a regimental pet to
Englar d.
The most remarkable thing in con
tion with the story is that the goose in
turn actually saved its preserver's life.
Whether the former knew that the
sentry was the same man or not must,
of course, forever remain a problem;
but it so happened that he was
on that particular post about
two months alterward, attended by the
goose, when a desperate attempt was
made to surprise and kill the unwary
sentinel. In these moments of darkness
a sharp observer might have noticed
the shadows of several men, who un
observed by the somewhat drowsy sen
tinel, were endeavoring stealthily to
approach the post where he stood.
Closer and closer they stole up toward
the post, the thick snow which lay on
the ground completely deadening the
sound of their footsteps. But just as
two of their number, one on each side
of the gentry-box, were preparing with
uplifted knives to spring upon the un
suspecting man. the goose made a
grand effort, rose suddenly on "its
wings, and swept around the sentry
box with tremendous force, flapping its
wings right in the faces of the would
be assassins. They were astounded,
and rushed blindly forward; but the
sentry, fully aroused to his danger,
bayoneted one and shot at the other as
he was running away. Mean while,the
other conspirators approached quickly
to the assistance of their colleagues;
but the bird repeated its tactics, and
enabled the sentry to keep them at bay
until the guard—whom the firing of
his musket had alarmed—came upon
the scene and made tliern flee for
their lives.
When this incident became known,
poor old Jacob was the hero of the
garrison, and the officers subscribed
for and purchased the golden collar
which the bird afterward wore until
the day of its death. The feathered
hero was well fed and cared for, and a
circular bath filled with water was al
ways at his disposal. For many years
Jacob seemed to bear a charmed life;
but he was at length run over by a
van. Every effort which kindness and
skill could suggest was made to save
the extraordinary bird, but it was of
no avail, and he died like a true sol
dier, at the post of duty, after a "sen
try go" of no less than twelve years.

to exert an influence fir reaching in i s

Nightingale and Dorothy Dix were to the
suffering soldiers. The it a suces of women
who were in the greatest agony and appar
ently beyond tie reach of human Aid, that
sha has restored to lfiilth and happiness,
are almost in-• timetable, and it was only
natural that the scribe should become
spec ally interested and wish to converse with
l.er more in detail.
"How long have you 1 em engaged in the
practice of medicine, Mrs. W ingatoV"
" For more than twenty five yt ars."
"Along time, ceriftinly. How did yon
happen to enter the field at that early day
\\hen women til the profesiona were spe
cially frowned dovn upon?"
"I think I must hiveinher.to lata te from
my father, Professor J. O. Wood, of liar- i
vard c l'ege. He was eminent in the pro

nis re creations, l'e huuted io s deably,

" And did you begin your B' tidies so early
in life ?"
" I can hardly Fay when 1 began, for I can
not oa e liber Wlnh t did not read me lie il

calls for my ntt ndanre on th? sick nl vays

natural sympathy I felt for my sex has in- j

and have learned to anticipate their rcod<

After the o; ening of the 110 tou Medical
College I appealed before the faculty; pa-sed
examination and received a diploma. I had
practiced for years previous to that time but
thought it desirable to receive another di
ploma, which 1 did without any effort."
" Your experience with the many and ser
ious diseases of women having been so ex
tensive must also be valuable. Can you
give me some facts regarding them."
" I find that woman seems born to suffer
ing, and where she avoids it, it is by reason
of some care on her part or owing to some
special renewing power. It is true some
women go through life without unusual suf
fering, but they aie none the less in danger,
for there are critical periods all along their
pathway when the utmost precaution is re
quired. The innumerable compla'iits called
female weaknesses; the irreg llariti s of life
and changes of the system all indicate the
licrils which hang over eery woman's ca
reer, and which, unless attended to, may re
sult disastrously."
" But is there no way by which the -e ter
rible troubles can be avoided'"'
"That has been the prob'em for ye irs.
The habit - of life and the demands of fash
ion are clearly at war with the health of
women. I have been, perhaps, unusually
succt s-ful in my treatment t f their troubles,
but there have been many cases that seemed
specially stubborn. I recall ore in particu
lar. I had exhausted all the usual exi eJi uta
and the iemits were not satisfactory. I be
came worried over the case and really did
not know what to do, but finally thought I
would try some hing out of the usual line. I
had heard a certain remidy recommended
very highly and so I procured some and
made a chemical analysis of it. I fonud it
was perfectly puie. and ih't tie ingredients
were unusually valuable. So Ibi gan giving
it to my patient, changing it. however, into
a bottle of my own. To my great joy it
seemed to have an almost immediate effect
and a complete cuie was the result. Since
then I have ure l it co istintly in my practice
and have cmedevery form of female weak
ness, as well as displacements, dropsical tu
mors, cellu dropsy and all such tioubles. I
have also usoJ it with the best results in
rases of pregnancy and gestation. In-Iced I
have found it of untold value and benefit.
" Havo joa any objection to giving me
the name of this remedy of which you

A wealthy voting farmer from Butler
county, Neb., came to the capital last
week to linda wife. Ho was intro
duced to a young woman, proposed and
was accepted. On his second visit ho
took his betrothed out to ride, and on
returning to the house apprised her
that he had concluded not to marry.
Being importuned to give a reason, he
said he had discovered that she pow
dered, and he thought no woman who
powdered could possibly make a good
wife. The district court will decide
whether powder is a sufficient cause to
break an engagement.
Woolen mills established in New

wife, who had been ill for over two years,

sound and well by using your "Favorite Pre

use, after several physicians had failed to do
her any good. Yours truly,

Dxan Sim—l>ling deeply grateful for the
bru'-flts which I have receivod from the use of a
very valuable article which has its origin and boms
In our beautiful city, and hoping that others Who
Arc afflicted As I have been may find like relief from
it* use, 1 beg the Indulgence of a few lines In your
valuable paper for tho privilege of communicating
to jou a brief statement of facts, for the benefit of
the multitude of sufferers to be met with on every
side. Many o> my friends well know that I have
been very severely afflicted with heart disease for a
number of years, an l have suffered from it as only
those can suffer who have that disease; It reduced
my strength so low (hat I could scarcely walk acroee
mv room, and the least exertion rendered me eo
short-breathed that I dared scarcely move, and life
seemed very burdensome. 1 was treated for my mal
aly by the best physicians, and derived no benefit
from their I feat incut or prescriptions until I was ad
vised by my family physician to use Hunt's Remedy,
a my trouble was caused by inaction'of my kidney*
which affected very seriously the action of my heart.
1 commenced taking it (having little faith In it or
any other medicine), aui it ha-- helped mo wonder
fully, and I am now a great deal better, and have
been ever since 1 began its uso. In fact, I have taken
no medicine that has benefited me so greatly. My
breathing Is easy, and I have gained in strength so
much that lam able to do my housework. I cheer
fully recommend Hunt's Remedy to all who may b
afflicted as I have been, or who are suffering from
general debility and nervous prostration.
